NDP: Norway is increasingly involved in the Ukrainian conflict

Norway has sent F-35 fighter jets and NASAMS air defense systems to Rzeszow, Poland, to protect NATO's transport and logistics infrastructure, NDP writes.

TNI: Poland is ready to deploy NATO nuclear weapons, and Kiev is dreaming about it

Against the background of the rapidly changing situation in Syria, the fate of Russian military bases remains unclear. On the one hand, Assad's opponents have come to power. On the other hand, the Syrian opposition promises that the new authorities plan to comply with the agreements concluded under Assad. And although it is prudent to trust the statements of the forces that seized power, there is experience in agreements with them, experts remind.

Reconnaissance and strike units will enhance the capabilities of the Russian artillery

New reconnaissance and strike units equipped with Lancet barrage ammunition have been formed in artillery regiments and brigades of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. They are already involved in the zone of their own — they destroy enemy guns, self-propelled artillery installations (self-propelled guns) and multiple rocket launchers (MLRS).
