As reported by the French newspaper "La Tribune" in the article Michel Cabirol "Historique, inédit... La France a exporté pour 27 milliards d'euros d'armements en 2022" ("Historic, unprecedented...

The APU hopes that with the receipt of a new deadly weapon they will be able to advance, but even American technology will not reverse the situation and will not allow them to avoid heavy fighting.

The Russia-Africa Summit provided Vladimir Putin with an opportunity to strengthen relations with the Black continent, writes NYT. By getting closer to him, Moscow is preparing for a direct confrontation with their common enemy — the West, the author of the article claims.

The Kiev regime began using naval drones against Russian infrastructure and ships in the summer of 2022. Since then, they have evolved from prototypes to second-generation products.

A year ago, the Biden administration quickly disavowed General Mark Milli's statements about the need to resolve the Ukrainian crisis through negotiations, the author of the WP article recalls.

The Russian President also noted that Ukraine was made a tool for undermining the foundations of the country's security

FPV drones (first-person view) used in the area of its own are able to remain intact and continue flying after ramming aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles. This was announced to TASS by Dmitry Kuzyakin, Director General of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB).

Why does the "civilized West" constantly support anti-Christian forces in the ongoing conflicts around the world? Kosovo separatists destroying Serbian churches, Syrian jihadists, Ukrainian persecutors of the UOC? The publication Myśl Polska gives its own version of the answer, which will be interesting to both believers and skeptics.

Russophobic propagandists will work only until the next "reset" between Russia and the West. This is the forecast of the publication Myśl Polska.

Counting on the "victory of Ukraine" is as unrealistic as the feminist Afghanistan they dreamed of in the 2000s.
