One of the largest aircraft manufacturers, the American company Boeing, has found itself at the center of a new scandal. Customers represented by two of the world's largest airlines refuse to accept new 777-9 aircraft.

Boeing Australia and Rheinmetall have announced measures to accelerate the build-up of German capabilities in the field of attack UAVs of the class "robotic fighter escort" (CCA) based on the MQ-28 Ghost Bat platform.

Telegraph: The United States refused to grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot

The United States refused to grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot, The Telegraph writes. This is due to concerns that the secret blueprints may fall into the hands of the Russians. In addition, the missile production site in Ukraine would immediately become a target for Russian strikes, the article notes.

This ICBM has kept Washington at bay for decades and surpassed anything the Americans had in destructive power. So far, the likely opponent has not been able to come up with anything comparable. Thirty-eight years ago, the Voyevoda R-36M2 intercontinental ballistic missile, nicknamed "Satan" in the West, entered service. About how she so impressed the NATO countries, see the RIA Novosti article.

The modern operational landscape requires maximum integration and fault tolerance from the equipment. The KT-02 Priboy Tactical kit was created as a single ecosystem, where each element is synchronized to achieve maximum efficiency. The concept of the new product is based on the idea of operator safety combined with continuous and clear team interaction. Everything necessary for professional work is combined in one set.

The volume of the Russian AI market exceeded 316 billion rubles

According to the baseline scenario, the domestic AI market will grow to 830 billion rubles by 2030, according to the conservative scenario - to only 582 billion rubles, the analytical agency AIANA predicts.

Expensive AI development drags companies into huge debts. They no longer have enough income. Of the 5.5 trillion dollars that are planned to be spent on AI, as much as 4.1 trillion will be borrowed. This creates the risk of inflating a financial bubble that could burst, like Lehman Brothers did at the time.

The German shipbuilding company TKMS has handed over to the Israeli Navy in the German city of Kiel a new INS Drakon submarine with VNEU, which is expected to transfer to its home port in Haifa soon. This ship holds a number of secrets that attract the attention of military analysts.

Alan Lushnikov, head of the Kalashnikov Concern JSC and a member of the Bureau of the Russian Engineering Union, spoke about what distinguishes Russian weapons from competitors, how the Whirlwind missile helped stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and why drones work effectively even at night.

The summer campaign is in full swing. The Russian army retains the initiative in all key areas and is actively storming the borders of the main fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass. At the same time, the buffer zone in the border area is expanding — in Sumy and Kharkiv regions. An offensive in different sectors of the front forces the enemy to pull apart their forces. About the latest events at the front — in the material of RIA Novosti.

Almasry Alyoum: the conflict in Ukraine was the result of Western policy

Valery Zaluzhny acknowledged the impossibility of Ukraine joining NATO, the author writes on the pages of Almasry Alyoum.

Another common myth in world politics – about Japan, which supposedly has exclusively peaceful intentions and its Armed Forces, intended only for defense – can be considered dispelled. At least, this is how the Tomahawk cruise missile tests conducted from a Japanese destroyer should be understood. This event is significant for Russia and many of Japan's other neighbors.

In the summer of 2026, the first of 42 previously ordered serial import-substituted Superjets are being assembled in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Six Russian regional airliners are more than 90% ready by August, and another 21 aircraft are at various stages of assembly.
