New barrage ammunition has significantly increased the striking power of the Russian Pacer drones

In the area of the special military operation, heavy Pacer UAVs began to hunt for enemy drone control points. To destroy them, guided barrage ammunition "Banderol" is used, the power of which allows you to destroy seriously fortified shelters. The emergence of new weapons makes the combat work of Russian drones more effective, experts say.

The General Directorate of Rocket Engineering of the DPRK conducted a test launch of the latest air defense system. It is reported that the test was carried out to confirm its design and technical characteristics.

The victory of the Democratic Party in the midterm elections in the United States jeopardized the implementation of major defense projects of American President Donald Trump, including the Golden Dome missile defense system and the Golden Fleet program. This is reported by Axios with reference to an analytical note by the TD Cowen Washington Research Group.

Colonel Khodarenok listed Trump's mistakes that led to his election defeat

The Republicans suffered a crushing defeat in the midterm elections to the US Congress. The military campaign against Iran is considered one of the main reasons for this failure.

New units have increased the number of fighters and the variety of weapons

Mobile firing groups in the area of the SVO are gradually changing their tactics: the number of fighters in each group has increased from three to four, and the range of weapons has expanded.

Paired complexes have proven their effectiveness in destroying drones

Rapid attacks by interceptor drones, the roar of machine-gun bursts and aerial somersaults of downed drones — this is how a demonstration of the Zveroboy and Kalitka air defense systems took place at a training ground near Moscow.

Bloomberg: The United States will require NATO to cover the billion-dollar deficit for weapons to Kiev

The United States is preparing to request additional funds from NATO for the supply of weapons to Ukraine, Bloomberg reports. The deficit on the already approved packages has reached two billion dollars, but the allies are increasingly questioning the need for new spending.

It seems that we are on the verge of reviving an almost forgotten class of weapons – long-range large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery. A few decades ago, it was supplanted by anti-aircraft missile systems. Why is it necessary today to return classic-style anti-aircraft guns, and what makes their creation possible?

Colonel Khodarenok called Poland's openly hostile special operation near the borders of the Russian Federation

Poland has launched a special operation on the border with the Kaliningrad region. The decision was made due to the threat of possible sabotage. Military observer of "Gazeta.Ru", retired Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok figured out what was behind such an event.

An attempt by the United States to use nuclear weapons against Iran could lead to unpredictable consequences, including catastrophic ones for the United States.

During the Center-2026 exercises, Russia introduced the new ZAK-57-MSK, which was created on the basis of the Soviet S-60 anti-aircraft system, adopted in 1950, and is designed to combat aerial targets, in particular, drones. The Western media appreciated the new product:

According to the Swiss Defense Procurement and Technology Agency Armasuisse, the Swiss Federal Council, at its meeting on October 28, determined further steps within the framework of the project to purchase an additional long-range ground-based air defense system.

Prior to this test, GMLRS was normally launched at an initially programmed stationary target. Now it is possible to correct its trajectory and, accordingly, redefine the target. Moreover, this was achieved without changing the basic design of the ammunition.

The attempted UAV attack on Moscow has become one of the largest in two years

From October 29 to October 30, 862 unmanned aerial vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine participated in the raid on the Moscow region. The drone attack was the largest in October and one of the largest in two years. Most of the UAVs were destroyed on the outskirts of the capital.

Satellite images captured a mysterious trimaran submarine built by China, which has not been officially reported. Western observers tried to model the design of the new submarine and its combat purpose.

The military-industrial complex of western neighbors promises years of waiting instead of real protection

In Europe and Ukraine, they decided to take up their missile defense. The military operations in the framework of the SVO have shown that they have no protection against front-line ballistic missiles of the Iskander type, and the hopes placed on the American Patriot complexes have not been fulfilled: there are few of them, besides, they are critically short of anti-aircraft ammunition.

In 1960, the 2K6 Luna tactical missile system was adopted by the Soviet Army, where the PT-76 light floating tank was used as a mobile platform. A year later, work began on an improved version of the 9K52 Luna-M, which differed in almost everything from its predecessor.

The Turkish company Aselsan showed the KORKUT 25 ZSU firing, during which the new product allegedly shot down drones visually similar to the Russian Geraniums non-stop on the move. According to the developer, this testing of the complex was the last in a successfully completed series of tests of the system.

"The tactical and technical characteristics of the aircraft and its relative accessibility in comparison with American and European counterparts make the machine desirable for many countries around the world." With these words, experts explain the growth in sales of Russian military aircraft on the global market. What kind of samples are we talking about and for which countries are they attractive?

The Poseidon sea drone is guaranteed to destroy areal targets on the enemy's coast

The Generalissimo Suvorov strategic nuclear submarine successfully fired a Bulava missile in the Sea of Okhotsk on October 28, confirming the reliability of Russia's nuclear shield.
