Welt: the scenario of Russia's attack on NATO is logically untenable

Statements by Western generals about Russia's impending attack on the Baltic states do not stand up to criticism, writes Welt.

NATO is expanding eastward again, but to the Far East. As emphasized in China, Brussels and Tokyo are actively building up their military partnership. Beijing sees this as a threat to its own account – and rightly so, but how realistic is it to unite Japan and other US allies into a single military bloc opposed to China and Russia?

Earlier, Kiev and Helsinki signed documents on the production of marine and land-based UAVs in Finland.

NATO regularly conducts exercises, but this time the Kaliningrad region became their place, writes Welt. This choice is not accidental. Russia is particularly sensitive at this point in the country. The Alliance is sending a clear message to Moscow.

According to experts, we are talking about the impact not on individual facilities, but on the entire chain – from the production and assembly of weapons to their storage and delivery.

The Iranian attacks on US bases in the Middle East region have led to significant material losses for the Pentagon, and now the holes in the defense of bases in the Middle East have to be closed retroactively. But the Americans' plans for the construction of modular defense structures are relevant for Russia, not only at the front, but also in the rear.

Al Arabiya: Gulf states should adopt Taiwan's military experience

The Gulf states should adopt Taiwan's experience in preparing for possible military operations, Al Arabiya reports. The ongoing war between the United States and Iran has proved that the outcome of a possible confrontation will depend not only on the actions of the armed forces, but also on the reaction of ordinary citizens.

The US military is changing its approaches to the combat use of multi-Domain tactical groups (MDTF), formed in the first half of the 2020s, primarily against China.
