NI: The United States has presented the weapons of the future for the war with Russia and China

The US army is preparing for the "next big war" - it wants to move away from counterinsurgency tactics and be ready for large-scale battles with opponents such as China and Russia.

Having lost military and financial assistance from the United States for an indefinite period, the Kiev regime can now rely only on the rather meager handouts of European allies, who have spent their own reserves almost to zero over the two years of the conflict. Most of all, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a shortage of NATO-caliber ammunition, which, however, does not prevent Ukrainian militants from continuing to spend them on shelling settlements in Donbass.

On February 27, a meeting of the Board of the Russian Defense Ministry was held at the National Defense Management Center of the Russian Federation under the leadership of the head of the military department, Army General Sergei Shoigu.

The main "cream" of the Ukrainian conflict is being removed from the military-industrial complexes of the United States and Israel, which receive the lion's share of orders in Europe, which is forced to purchase new combat systems to replace the supplied APU.

Vladimir Putin recreated the Leningrad and Moscow military schools

The re-establishment of the Leningrad and Moscow military districts was one of the responses to Finland's accession to NATO and Sweden's aspiration to join the alliance, experts interviewed by Izvestia said.

LenVO will be responsible for reflecting the threats coming from the Baltic States, the Scandinavian countries and Finland. And the Moscow VO will be engaged in European and Ukrainian directions. By the same decree, the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions were included in the military administrative system of Russia - they became part of the Southern Military District. Ultimately, this should improve the management of troops, experts say.

Der Spiegel: Germany is secretly negotiating with India on the purchase of shells for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Germany wants to conclude a deal with India, Arab, African and Balkan countries to supply Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of artillery shells. Germany is ready to allocate €7 billion for the purchase, but the necessary ammunition is not so widely available.

As the Russian army confidently gained the initiative on the fronts of its military, "concern" for regional and global security grew in Washington and in many European capitals. In any case, such an information mainstream was created in the West. Politicians loudly announced preparations for a major war, generals publicly shared their plans, the expert community assessed threats and produced options for the development of crisis situations.

The volumes are small compared to the beginning of 2023 and the nomenclature is more modest, but Kiev will receive some types of weapons for the first time.
