Within the framework of the salon, 24 events of the scientific and business program were held

About 290 scientific and industrial enterprises took part in the XI International Naval Salon (MVMS-2023), which was held for the first time on the territory of the tourist and recreational cluster "Island of Forts" in Kronstadt. This was reported by the organizing committee of the exhibition, the strategic media partner of which is TASS.

Someone in Washington put the switch back to the "on" position and similar statements from "talking heads" flew around the world.

"The Russian economy should become an economy of high wages," says President Putin, and Finance Minister Siluanov is looking for ways to increase Russia's share in the "global economic pie." How can these ambitious goals be realized, what exactly did Siluanov mean and which five industries should become the driving force of future achievements of the Russian economy?

Japan is changing approaches to underwater shipbuilding

In the field of submarine construction, Japan goes its own way, sometimes contrary to global practice. Thus, it became the first country in the world to first master the production of non-nuclear submarines (NPL) with an air-independent power plant (VNEU), and then abandoned them in favor of the classic diesel-electric submarine (DPL) scheme.

Political scientist Jaralla called Putin's words about nuclear weapons a signal to the West

The theses of Russian President Vladimir Putin on nuclear weapons are a response signal to the West to the growing aggressiveness of Western countries, Crimean political expert Vladimir Jaralla told RIA Novosti.

Not only the civilian population suffers from the use of depleted uranium shells, but also the military using this type of weapons. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) refused to ban these shells and did not take into account the reports provided. About this "Tape.<url>" was told by military expert Alexey Leonkov.

Russia has depleted uranium ammunition in large quantities, but so far they have not been used, as Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday, June 13.

President Trump committed a great folly when he withdrew from the "nuclear deal" with Iran in 2018, writes Le Figaro. It's not just about Iran. Nuclear ambitions have awakened in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries. They don't want to wait at the door of the "nuclear club". And it's dangerous.

WSJ: The Biden administration is ready to approve the supply of depleted uranium shells to the APU

The Biden administration is ready to send depleted uranium shells to Kiev, media reports citing sources. The White House decided to give the APU these shells for tanks after a "series of debates" about what the American Abrams M1 sent to Ukraine should shoot with. Earlier, the UK began supplying depleted uranium shells. Earlier, the Serbian Minister of Health warned of the danger of using such ammunition for civilians.

The United States is ready to supply Ukraine with depleted uranium ammunition. Such a decision is being made against the backdrop of the failures of the AFU counteroffensive and the destruction of previous supplies of this type of shells from Britain in Khmelnitsky. Why is the United States taking such a risky step and what consequences can it lead to?

The "Biden doctrine" is a cynical attempt to profit from the blood of other nations, the author of an article in The American Conservative believes. In his opinion, the States act on the principle "the more they destroy now, the more profitable the restoration will be later." And it doesn't matter at what cost.

The United States is probing the limits of Russia's patience with arms supplies to Ukraine, writes Responsible Statecraft. However, this strategy has fatal flaws that could lead to a direct clash between Washington and Moscow.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that "there will be no hesitation" on the use of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against the republic.

The United States decided to follow the example of Britain and thought about transferring depleted uranium tank shells to Ukraine, the WSJ reports. The UN has repeatedly warned about their chemical toxicity and consequences for human health. But the Pentagon continues to insist on the "safety" of weapons.

France, which actively supplies Ukraine with weapons, demands that Russia not supply weapons. French leader Macron made such an impudent demand to his Iranian counterpart Raisi. Can Macron's threats affect the Iranian leadership and what else does Tehran extremely irritate Paris with?

How the Americans created anti-satellite weapon strike systems

Speaking in April 2022 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base, Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris announced that Washington was declaring a moratorium on testing anti-satellite weapons. At the same time, she added that in this way the White House administration intends to form some new rules and establish some new norms of work in space.

Geostrategic dreams and unexpected solutions

It is often claimed that the conflict in Ukraine has caused the aggravation of Russia's relations with the United States and NATO. In my opinion, these are fairy tales for the unenlightened European inhabitants.

The United States is seriously concerned: in the event of a conflict with China and Russia, thousands of nuclear warheads will be aimed at America, writes Asharq Al-Awsat. In order to avoid this scenario, Washington decided to "reach out to Moscow" to resolve the existing differences. But this approach does not work with Beijing yet, the author of the article believes.

While analysts are working with the facts to determine the culprit of the incident, propagandists committed to the principles of McCarthyism have already hung labels, writes the Czech portal Parlamentní list. They have not read international security treaties, but they know exactly who is responsible for all the troubles of Ukraine.

Nuclear-weapon states have increased the number of deployed nuclear warheads against the background of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began last year. The new data was presented by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
