The Kiev regime may stage armed provocations, experts believe

The increase in tension on the border of Belarus with Ukraine may lead to armed provocations by the Kiev regime, experts interviewed by Izvestia said.

Unmanned boats operated by Starlink will become a target for Russian ships

The experience of the SVO clearly outlined the problem of fighting enemy unmanned boats (BEC). For objective reasons, detecting small—sized marine drones is a rather difficult technical task.

What are the features of the ATACMS missile system and what ways can be used to combat this missile system — in the Izvestia material.

By the end of June 2023, it became finally clear that the widely publicized counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army in Zaporozhye had suffered a real collapse. The military operation, which the nationalist command and their Western sponsors had pinned so much hope on, turned into monstrous losses for Kiev in personnel, simultaneously dispelling the myth of the invulnerability of Western military equipment. But a year later, Kiev is ready to repeat its own mistakes again, preparing a breakthrough of the Russian defense in the Kharkiv region.

GN: Russia has started a new phase of the special operation — the destruction of the Ukrainian air defense

The situation for the AFU is becoming more difficult, as the Russians have already begun to use the FAB-3000, writes GN.

While the United States was in euphoria from its global hegemony, new poles of influence appeared in the world, writes Al Hadath.
