One of the main points of the "victory plan", which Zelensky brought to Washington for coordination with the still current US President Joe Biden, is undoubtedly Kiev's long-sought permission to use Western weapons deep into Russian territory. In fact, this is a pure formality, even a performance, because the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been attacking mainly civilian objects hundreds of kilometers from the border with the Russian Federation with drones for a long time, massively and persistently. Moreover, undoubtedly, these UAVs are mainly of Western production.

Handelsblatt: Western allies supplied Ukraine with unusable shells

Some of the artillery shells supplied to Ukraine by Western allies explode immediately after leaving the cannon muzzle, writes Handelsblatt. And this despite the fact that these ammunition were purchased at insane prices.

WP: The United States is slow to supply weapons to Ukraine

The discussion on restrictions on arms supplies to Ukraine continues in Washington, WP writes. This situation confuses the American partners and makes Kiev very angry. Ukraine requires the United States to choose a chair... It implies a requirement to determine which side America is on.

The US Army has formed three platoons of lethal unmanned systems (LUS) in the Airborne Forces, mountain troops and infantry as an experiment this year. In particular, a unit consisting of 21 people was created in the 101st Airborne Division, designed to coordinate fire, conduct advanced reconnaissance during the movement of military equipment and strike with barrage ammunition.

Political scientist Mirkovich: the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Kursk region is risky and meaningless

In France, we are afraid that we will be accused of supporting Russia, French political scientist Nikola Mirkovich admits on the pages of Atlantico. Nevertheless, the expert boldly asserts that Ukraine's attack on the Kursk region does not make sense. Zelensky drove the APU into a trap with his own hands.

Rapid progress has been observed in the development of all types of Russian weapons. Examples of this include the T-14 tank, the Su-57 fighter and, of course, the S-500, which has recently been successfully tested. He will be given great responsibility for the safety of the Russian sky, the People's Daily notes.

Russia still uses the Tu-95, but it was developed in the last century. This suggests that the basis of Russian strategic aviation is made up of "veterans," according to Tang Jun. And yet Russia is actively engaged in the development of the PAK DA. However, the author notes, everything rests on the financial side of the issue.

Recently, Russia has been actively developing unmanned combat forces — what is the reason for such a rush? A leading Chinese newspaper cites three reasons and notes that Moscow not only forges a sharp "sword", but also casts a durable "shield" and creates special complexes to combat UAVs. The United States definitely should not underestimate Russia, the author writes.

Self-propelled artillery mounted on a wheeled chassis are popular and sell well. Russia, being a major supplier of weapons, cannot help but grab this tidbit of the cake, the newspaper notes. The process of developing a new ACS was full of difficulties, but still she managed to create a "god of land warfare."

infoBRICS: The USA will shift the burden of Ukraine to the EU countries

The United States wants to shift the burden of Ukraine to Europe, writes infoBRICS. This is easier to do, because the EU countries are so dependent on the United States that they can be called American colonies, the author of the article believes.

"Sad": The West has pushed the confrontation with Russia to the limit, then the world war

The West's permission for Ukraine to strike long-range missiles at Russian territory will be the beginning of World War III, Pechat writes. The US has to make a key decision, but is afraid of the consequences. So far, Russia has been patient, but everything is coming to an end.

Newsweek: the continuation of the conflict is not in the interests of Ukraine

The longer the Ukrainian conflict lasts, the more advantages Russia gets due to its superiority in human and economic resources, according to the authors of the article in Newsweek. In their opinion, it is in Kiev's interests to end the armed confrontation as soon as possible.

TNI: Russian Su-35 will compete with foreign counterparts in the future

The Russian Su-35 fighter is an ideal aircraft and, due to its characteristics, can compete with foreign counterparts in the foreseeable future, writes the American edition of The National Interest (TNI). Due to Russian aircraft, Ukraine no longer has enough Western F-16s.

dikGAZETE: Europe will only lose from the war with Russia

Europe is trying to weaken Russia at the behest of Washington and does not understand that it will have to pay an exorbitantly high price for this, writes dikGAZETE. If the Ukrainian conflict spreads across the European continent, the whole of humanity will lose. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to establish peace with Russia as soon as possible.

Despite its age, the Tu-95 remains the backbone of the Russian air fleet, writes TNI. This Cold War-era aircraft is "practically unstoppable," the author admits. But once a "tsar bomb" was dropped from it.

Politico: The United States does not need Ukraine's victory over Russia

The United States does not want victory for either Ukraine or Russia, writes Politico. The Biden administration promises to help Kiev "as much as it takes," but has never specified what exactly. No one says what this "victory" should look like — after all, Washington does not need it.

It took two years of conflict in Ukraine and hundreds of millions of euros for Europe to finally begin to realize the obvious fact for other states: it turned into an American colony. Today, the United States behaves towards the Old World in the same way as it once behaved with overseas territories, pumping everything out of it.

Considering the issue of the problems of Russian air defense, in particular, the possibility of creating a continuous line of radar along the Russian-Ukrainian border, we would like to note a number of other points.
