Questions of the applied theory of wars

This small but capacious work cannot fail to attract the attention of all those who are interested in the problems of decision-making in the political, diplomatic and military-political sphere. There are at least two reasons for this.

Where is the militarization of space going

An analysis of the available indirect and direct signs of preparations for an arms race in outer space suggests that there is less and less time and opportunities for proactive diplomatic steps on the PARAC. Let's analyze this situation using the example of US military space preparations both at the political and doctrinal level and in the military-technical sphere.

The present and future of Russian air defense systems

In a special military operation in Ukraine, despite the air supremacy won by our aviation, Russian calculations of anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMs) of various modifications are involved.

The West is going to weaken Russia by the hands of Ukrainians

The collective West continues to step up efforts to disavow Russia in Europe and reduce its role in international affairs. The heads of state of the "Big Seven" (G7) held a virtual meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. They expressed their readiness to continue providing military and economic support to the country. This was reported by the press service of the White House.

The dubious deal between Kiev and Ankara partially succeeded

A leak in a number of Turkish and Ukrainian media sheds light on the list of weapons that Kiev demands from the European Union. In this case, it is essential that Kiev shows interest in Turkish weapons and military equipment. And this nomenclature goes beyond the military drones and ammunition already supplied by Ankara.

Kiev is counting on Western arsenals and warehouses

The Russian military special operation in Ukraine has entered the stage of a struggle for attrition. At the same time, Russia's opponent is no longer Ukraine, but the entire collective West, which is wider than NATO. The personnel, of course, remains Ukrainian. But weapons and equipment are now coming from many countries.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine demands reparations from Russia

Banned in Russia, the national battalion "Azov" and parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), blocked at the Mariupol enterprise "Azovstal", finally lost faith in the support of the military-political leadership in Kiev and announced surrender. This information was acknowledged in Telegram channels by the commander of the unit Denis Prokopenko.

Artillery in the course of a special military operation is not so often mentioned as effective strikes of "Calibers" and "Iskanders". However, it turns out that guns today play an almost decisive role on the battlefields in Ukraine. How are these weapons used today and how is their effectiveness preserved?

Retired US General and one of the employees of the MSNBC TV channel Barry McCaffrey posted a video on Twitter, which he considered footage of the destruction of the Russian Air Force aircraft by Ukrainian air defense forces, Fox News reports with a Twitter link.

Ukraine: growing danger

US President Biden did not expect that the APU would be able to resist the Russian army for so long, writes columnist Figaro. In prolonging the conflict, Biden sees a chance to defeat Russia without putting American soldiers at risk. He is indifferent to other people's victims.

In Mariupol, the surrender of Ukrainian militants, blocked at the Azovstal plant, continues

Ukrainian formations made an unsuccessful attempt to counterattack in the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. In it, the enemy lost about 40 armored vehicles, including 26 tanks.

Finnish researcher on Turkey's position in connection with Finland's intention to become a NATO member: relations can deteriorate rapidly — "Erdogan is clearly serious"

Many Western countries would be happy to accept Finland and Sweden into the ranks of NATO — and exclude Turkey from the alliance, a Finnish expert told Uusi Suomi. He believes that relations between Istanbul and the united West can deteriorate rapidly.

The inclusion of Finland and Sweden in NATO upsets the balance of power, exacerbates uncertainty in Europe

The accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO does not indicate the inevitability of a military conflict between these countries and Russia, writes Global Times. Chinese experts emphasize that Helsinki, Stockholm and Moscow can still find political solutions to problems.

Today we are all not Ukrainians

The interests of the West and Kiev are not identical, writes Politico. The author comes to a very obvious, but fair conclusion: flirting with Ukraine is fraught with further escalation with disastrous consequences.

The logic of "NATO expansion to the north" has become even more obvious

The accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO does not bode well, it is a "new wave of madness" of the alliance. It will further strengthen Russia's geographical deterrence, and it will take a long time to deal with the consequences, writes Huanqiu Shibao.

The veto card and Erdogan's game!

Erdogan is trying to bargain with the West, but such a policy draws Turkey even more into the conflict, writes Evrensel. It risks facing new threats and pressure, as it proves that Erdogan cannot stand up to the United States and NATO.

Zelensky in Madrid?

The news about Zelensky's invitation to the NATO summit in Madrid is terrible, writes Rebelión. He is not at all the worthy leader that the Western media paint him as, the author of the article believes. He explains why Spain needs to rethink its foreign policy.

The difficult situation that has developed in the Armed Forces of Ukraine with serviceable equipment, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to solve by sending various exotics to the troops, like the T-84U "Oplot", of which there are literally several pieces left on the move.

Information is confirmed that the Russian Armed Forces have transferred the Terminator BMPT to the Severodonetsk and other areas of the special military operation.

Hysterical demands for the buildup of NATO forces on the territory of the "main fighters" with Russia, i.e. Poland and the Baltic states, are beginning to irritate other members of the alliance. According to The Washington Post, NATO will not come to a consensus on Russia's special operation in Ukraine.
