In these words, experts assessed Poland's plans for large-scale purchases of American tanks and combat helicopters. However, the most interesting thing is where exactly the Poles intend to deploy and use these weapons systems.

Fierce competition causes accelerated technology development

Missiles of various ranges, both ballistic and cruise, become not only an "addition" to aviation, but also its replacement (as a rule, of course, partial). Sometimes a country needs such a replacement because of the weakness of its aviation.

Vilnius Summit: not so much defending Ukraine as aggression against Russia

In the month that has passed since the meeting of the NATO Council at the level of heads of state and government in Vilnius on July 11-12, 2023, the excitement associated with Ukraine's hopes to become a member of the alliance has noticeably weakened. And Kiev switched to receiving some security guarantees from the United States.

Barrage ammunition from the Middle East

Today, barrage ammunition has become one of the dynamically developing areas in unmanned vehicles, which has already formed a separate class of corresponding systems.

For political and strategic reasons, the West exerts enormous pressure on Ukrainians to show success on the battlefield, writes RP. However, things are going tight, which increases the likelihood that the conflict will drag on. It will not be Zelensky who decides when it ends, but the West and Russia.

How many weapons has Germany already provided to Ukraine

Russia admits that Germany will cross the "red line" and decide to send long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine. This was reported to Izvestia by the Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev.

Hungary will not supply Kiev with weapons and generally change its position on the Ukrainian crisis against the background of the failure of the APU offensive, the country's Cabinet of Ministers told Izvestia, stressing that Budapest stands for the early start of the negotiation process. In the West, Prime Minister Viktor Orban is accused of broadcasting the Russian view of the existing problem, but experts are not inclined to believe that the Central European country has taken Moscow's side in the conflict. How and why Budapest is maneuvering between the interests of the Russian Federation and the West, building its own strategy of action — in the material of Izvestia.

According to the magazine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, through technical modifications of the Taurus, wants to exclude the possibility of Kiev striking Russia with long-range weapons.

The Ukrainian puppet regime associates a lot of hopes with the imminent delivery of American M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks.

The armed conflict in Ukraine is being closely studied at headquarters around the world. One of the conclusions made by experts is that large calibers still play a crucial role. Therefore, for example, the Pentagon decided to change the approach to military strategy. About what was offered there — in the material of RIA Novosti.

Already at the beginning of the special operation, it became clear that unmanned aerial vehicles play a full-fledged role in it, and many Russian developers began to produce various copters, combat FPV drones (first-person view). The Oko Design Bureau, created in 2022 by IT specialists Andrey Ivanov and Vadim Zhernov, decided from the very beginning to turn society's idea of drones around. Why the Hi-82 drone shocks with its appearance and what tasks it can perform — in the TASS material.

According to the publication, both the Federal Chancellor's office and the Ministry of Defense denied information that a decision on supplies has already been made or is expected soon

The German authorities, contrary to some media reports, are not yet ready to hand over long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Kiev. This was reported by the Bild newspaper with reference to its own sources.

Russia has localized the production of kamikaze drones, the Russian army uses its own version of the drone called Geran-2, and not the Shahed-136 supplied by Iran. This conclusion was reached by experts from the British organization Conflict Armament Research, which tracks the supply of conventional weapons, ammunition and related military materials to areas affected by the conflict.

The first group of Ukrainian pilots will complete training on the F-16 only by next summer, writes WP. Six military personnel will be trained, two more are in reserve.

The technologies that made it possible to develop hypersonic weapons have launched a new round of rivalry between the world's largest powers, such as China, Russia and the United States. At the same time, Beijing and Moscow, unlike Washington, have achieved tangible results in this area today.

Russian air defense systems are the best in the world, and the S-400 and S-500 have no analogues at all – and foreign analysts recognize this, writes MWM. However, compact low-speed drones pose a new challenge, and Moscow is already developing new radars to combat them.
