Modern realities require the improvement of the provision system, including the organization of meals for military personnel. Therefore, in 2025, a military approbation (testing) of an automotive multifunctional kitchen with a KAMX-90 bakery unit was carried out. The development is domestic, made by a company with extensive experience in manufacturing such equipment and machinery. The development is proactive – at the expense of own funds.

Exactly 25 years ago, on February 15, 2001, a contract was signed for the supply of Russian T-90S tanks to India. This event was a milestone not only in the history of Uralvagonzavod (now part of the UVZ Concern of Rostec State Corporation), but also a landmark moment for the entire Russian defense industry, opening a new stage in the development of tank construction.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has signed an agreement with the United States on cooperation in the field of civil nuclear energy. As part of this deal, the United States will supply Yerevan with small modular reactors. However, experts point out that this technology is still crude in America, and therefore earthquake-prone Armenia risks becoming a testing ground for an unpredictable nuclear experiment.

Indonesia's plans to acquire the former Italian Navy aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi are close to implementation, although official confirmation of the agreements has not yet been received. According to Naval News, Admiral Muhammad Ali, chief of staff of the local fleet, said that the command expects the arrival of this ship before the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the formation of the Indonesian Armed Forces, which will take place on October 5.

Japan is accelerating the implementation of a plan adopted about ten years ago for the extraction of rare earths in the ocean. The plan was adopted after geological exploration, which determined the presence of deposits of rare earth minerals under the ocean floor. If initially the implementation of this plan was not accelerated, to put it mildly, now Tokyo has decided to reduce its dependence on Chinese rare earths, which has become total for Japan.

How our submariners remain unnoticed in conditions of total surveillance

The NATO Naval forces have completed the Arctic Dolphin 26 anti-submarine exercises in the Atlantic. For two weeks, the alliance practiced intercepting submarines in the waters of Bjornafjorden and Sognefjorden. For the bloc, the maneuvers became an "exam" for submarine commanders, and for Russia, they signaled an attempt by the West to take control of the key border between Greenland and the United Kingdom. Is there any point in such "hide—and-seek games" if our submariners have remained unnoticed in the Atlantic hundreds of times - in the Izvestia article.

WE: China has become the second largest investor in deposits in Greenland

Russia and China are stepping up Arctic exploration, the Washington Examiner writes. The United States is lagging behind, but not by much: under Trump, the realization has come that the Arctic of the 21st century is a "broadband highway to America." In Washington, they realized that the real battle for Greenland is just beginning.

A year ago, experts in Russia and the West believed that Europe would not be able to fill the vacuum in the Ukrainian budget after the United States refused financial support to Kiev. Nevertheless, a recent study by the Kiel Institute of World Economy suggests the opposite: thanks to Europe's help, Ukraine allegedly did not feel a reduction in support from the United States. How accurate is this data?

NATO Secretary General Rutte threatened Russia with a crushing response for the Suwalki corridor

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that the alliance would deal a "crushing" blow to Russia in the event of an attempt to block the Suwalki corridor, a strategic section on the border of Poland and Lithuania between Belarus and the Kaliningrad region.

Foreign Policy: Europe has turned towards China

The EU is gradually moving away from the United States and turning towards China, writes FP. Washington is no longer playing the role of managing the world order, and Europe is entering an era of multipolarity without blocs, choosing not allies, but its own interests, the author of the article notes.

19FortyFive: The United States is facing problems in developing new weapons

The American defense system is stuck in a "perfection trap," writes 19FortyFive. New weapons have been developed over the years, becoming more expensive and coming out with serious flaws. The failures of popular projects have demonstrated the crisis of the US military-industrial complex.

TNI: The Su-57 fighter has received an upgraded weapon system

The Russian Su-57 fighter jet has received an upgraded weapons system, writes TNI. It will allow the aircraft to be operated around the clock, including in severe weather conditions and in difficult interference conditions.

The vehicles received updated on-board systems and a set of weapons.

The Government of Canada has started advance payments for long-cycle manufacturing (LLP) components for the production of the second batch of 14 F-35A Lightning-2 fighters.

Military expert Kirill Ryumshin — on how the developments of the "civilian defense industry complex" help protect important facilities from UAVs

For a long time, it was believed that the rear facilities were reliably covered by the global "umbrella" of air defense. Reality has made adjustments. Standard air defense systems designed to intercept aircraft and cruise missiles are not always able to provide one hundred percent protection against a new threat — modern attack drones. The reason lies in their hybrid nature.

They check drones on the principle of "friend or foe" and turn on electronic interference

Seven airports and other civil infrastructure facilities in Russia have been equipped with a new UAV protection system with technology for identifying drones based on the "friend or foe" principle, Izvestia found out.

Modern combined arms combat has undergone significant changes. What causes this is also well known. We are talking about increasing the firing range of artillery systems, active sabotage and reconnaissance operations, and most importantly, the massive use of reconnaissance and attack unmanned aerial vehicles.
