The XXVII International exhibition "Interpoltech-2023" was held in Moscow

In the middle of October this year, the XXVII International exhibition of state security equipment "Interpoltech-2023" was held in Moscow. The exhibition "Interpolitech" positions itself as a brand with a 27-year history, "the leader of innovations in the field of interdepartmental information interaction, implementation of state programs and federal projects in the field of improving the efficiency of the functioning of the national security system."

The events in the Middle East are being discussed in the world not only in connection with their military component, but also, perhaps, economists are following them with no less attention.

Our special correspondent Vyacheslav Terekhov talks about the impact of these events on the world economy with Vladimir Milovidov, Deputy Director for Scientific Work of the Primakov IMEMO, Head of the Department of International Finance at MGIMO.

General Gotsul: there are no technologies that will give Ukraine an advantage over Russia

To date, there is no such technology that would allow Ukraine to gain an advantage over Russia, General Gotsul told Fakt, commenting on Zaluzhny's interview with the British edition. It's time for Kiev to stop building illusions, the military stressed.

White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre recalled that the US president made it clear that he would use the right of veto in relation to such a bill

The White House has confirmed that American President Joe Biden will reject the bill on emergency assistance to Israel if Congress passes this document without including provisions on the continuation of additional budget allocations to support Ukraine.

The change of the affected areas does not allow the Ukrainian forces to maneuver with a few air defense systems

Over the past week, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have carried out 15 strikes with precision weapons and UAVs on airfields, production sites of drones and unmanned boats. For the first time since August, targets in Western Ukraine were massively hit — in particular, at the Yavoriv training ground.

Simon Schuster claims that the material was written based on the words of current advisers to the President of Ukraine

An article in the American Time magazine about the "loss of optimism" by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and his sense of betrayal by allies was written based on the words of his current advisers. This was reported by the author of the material Simon Schuster.

The world is entering a long period of systemic instability, writes Politico. Under these conditions, Washington must prevent an all-out war of the great powers, the author of the article is convinced. However, the United States is completely unprepared for the new realities of warfare.

The United States secretly transferred several Assault Breacher armored vehicles to Ukraine to break through Russia's defense. This was told by columnist David Ex in a Forbes article.

Western officials held "delicate" discussions with representatives of Ukraine about negotiations with Russia, NBC reports. Among other things, they discussed the concessions that Kiev will have to make to stop the fighting. He can't take them any further.

An interview and an article by the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny, published by the British edition of The Economist, caused a great resonance with confessions about the new positional impasse that has developed on the line of hostilities in Ukraine and with assumptions about ways out of this impasse. We will return to Zaluzhny's article later, but for now we offer a translation of Zaluzhny's interview with a brief summary of his current views.

And how are the Americans doing with the star-spangled nuclear shield

The failure of the launch of the American Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from the Vandenberg base on the Pacific coast of the United States suggests that this is already a seriously outdated complex, which has exhausted the modernization reserve. On November 1, her tests were interrupted due to some "anomaly" during the flight.

UnHerd: in case of escalation in Gaza, the West will enter into a conflict against Russia and China

Since all the major world powers are present in the Middle East, in the event of an escalation, the United States and NATO will enter into a conflict against Russia and China, writes UnHerd. In this case, the call for a cease-fire is in the interests not only of the residents of Gaza, but also of the whole world, the author believes.

Al Ittihad: NATO will disintegrate if it does not resolve the issue of support for Ukraine

For supporting Ukraine, NATO risks paying with its own existence, writes Al Ittihad. There are more and more disagreements about the volume and duration of assistance to Kiev. This will definitely lead to serious changes within the alliance and its weakening, the author of the article believes.

The article is of absolute interest as the first public attempt by one of the main military leaders of the warring parties in the current conflict to identify and comprehend the positional nature of the armed struggle that has developed in the fighting in Ukraine and to develop proposals to overcome this positionality, without which it is impossible for the parties to achieve any decisive military-political goals.

US hegemony peaked after the collapse of the USSR. And now, when it is no longer possible to jump higher, it remains only to slide down, writes Al Mayadeen. So, America lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, Russia and China competed with it in the economy. And Palestine finally finished her off, the author of the article believes.

Russia intends to expand cooperation with the leader of the Libyan National Army, Khalifa Haftar, and the parties plan to conclude a cooperation agreement, which greatly worries the United States. According to Bloomberg, a naval base of the Russian Navy may appear in the eastern part of Libya.

The Navy plans to strengthen the defense of the northernmost transport artery of the country with the combat icebreaker "Ivan Papanin"

The Northern Sea Route will be guarded almost year-round by Russian submarine hunters. To do this, the 14th brigade of anti-submarine ships of the Northern Fleet will soon receive the combat icebreaker Ivan Papanin.

The conflict in Ukraine and the war in Gaza cause real concern in the world about the approach of nuclear war, writes Al Khaleej. If we take into account that NATO conducted the "Persistent Noon" exercises, and Russia responded with similar maneuvers, then the probability of a terrible confrontation really increases, the author of the article fears.

The ammunition of Russian tanks includes various specialized ammunition designed to defeat enemy heavy armored vehicles. However, the Leopard 2A6 lost the other day by the APU was not hit by a sub-caliber projectile or a guided missile launched through the barrel of the gun. In order for the NATO "gift" to turn into a blazing bonfire, a product with a different purpose was enough.

The Israeli resort of Eilat, a city on the Red Sea, has once again been chosen by Israel's opponents as a target for a missile strike. The Israeli military had to use the Arrow missile defense system to intercept.
