A new heavy tactical drone has been shown in Moscow, which is twice as fast as its main Ukrainian rival, the Baba Yaga type UAV. The Russian device was named Gorgon. The machine underwent a baptism of fire on the front line — it has a large number of destroyed targets. The new drone is part of a line of drones named after the heroes of ancient myths. All these "fabulous" devices were presented on July 3 at one of the Moscow design bureaus.

In Thailand, they created the first domestic kamikaze drone, which, apparently, without thinking twice, they decided to call Kamikaze. Demonstrating it, a representative of the local Royal Air Force said it was designed for "precise and destructive strikes in order to strengthen national security and sovereignty."

BI: the Russian and Chinese armies cannot be suppressed in the air

Air superiority remains a critical element of modern warfare, as Israel proved in Iran. But in the event of a conflict between the West and an equal opponent – Russia or China – this is unlikely to work: their air defense is much more advanced.

In modern air battles, the advantage is not gained by the fastest and most maneuverable aircraft, but by larger and less noticeable machines that use network information to hit the enemy with long-range missiles. In this regard, it is necessary to increase the size of fighters, turning them into air arsenals.

In the West, they blindly follow the American doctrine that the F-35 is the most modern fighter in the world. Leaving aside the issues related to the actual capabilities of this machine, it should be noted that for many pilots, flying on it is sheer torture.

NYT: The United States has suspended a significant part of military supplies to Ukraine

Trump decided not to supply Ukraine with a range of weapons that it had previously received steadily, the NYT writes. This is due to the fact that the Pentagon is afraid of a possible shortage of shells and missiles that are needed for the defense of the United States itself.

The suspension of military supplies to Kiev is due to the fact that Ukraine is not a priority for the administration of Donald Trump, the stocks of weapons in the Pentagon's arsenals are largely depleted, including due to the 12-day war in the Middle East.

If the US Congress passes the funding project proposed by the Pentagon, the budget of the US Air Force for the next fiscal year should amount to $184.9 billion, plus a possible "bonus" of $24.7 billion. To this $209.6 billion should be added the $39.9 billion requested for the space force.
