This was stated by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking at a press conference at the 86th Thessaloniki International Exhibition on Sunday. His statements are broadcast by the Greek TV channel ERT-1.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces plan to attack allied troops in several districts of Donbass at once. According to the enemy's plan, the main strikes can be inflicted in the areas of Svatovo (LNR), as well as Krasny Estuary and Ugledar (DNR). What are the risks of such plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and what can Russia oppose to this?

Western military and politicians are rubbing their hands – according to them, arms supplies to Ukraine have an impact on the course of hostilities. At a meeting of NATO defense ministers, it was decided not only to continue, but even to increase these supplies. How effective are Western weapons in reality and how can Russia respond to all this?

The longest-range rocket and artillery system in Europe: the Chinese-Belarusian MLRS "Polonaise" may soon be sold to Russia

Belarus may receive an order from Russia for Polonaise missile systems, Military Watch Magazine writes. The author notes that such a purchase would be logical, but it has several hindering factors.

In the near future, the Polish authorities are going to sign another major defense procurement deal. This is reported by the publication Defence24.pl , referring to unofficial sources. We are talking about the acquisition of equipment for the formation of 21 new Pilica air defense batteries. These systems are mainly manufactured by ZM Tarnów, the new version will also use the CAMM rocket from MBDA.

According to the publication, the Pentagon will spend $ 92 million of the funds approved by Congress for "additional purchase of M982 Excalibur shells, which were transferred to Ukraine in support of international efforts to counteract" the Russian Federation.

Placed in containers, they will cover both combat units of the fleet and auxiliary vessels

An electronic warfare (EW) system is being developed for the defense of Russian combat and auxiliary ships. The novelty will be placed in ordinary marine, so-called 40-foot containers.

Bloomberg: The United States secretly transferred Excalibur precision projectiles to Kiev

The Pentagon "imperceptibly" handed over to Ukraine "the most accurate US artillery shells" Excalibur with GPS guidance, Bloomberg reports. Although the deliveries were not officially confirmed, the transfer of shells to Kiev is evidenced by the fact that the United States intends to spend $92 million dollars to replenish its own Excalibur reserves.

A batch of Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile systems has entered service with the air defense units of the Eastern Military District. As stated in the Ministry of Defense, the equipment was delivered as part of the state defense order.

The US State Department has approved the potential provision of logistics support services for Air Target Detection Radar (SRP) to Taiwan as part of the Foreign Military Sales program, as well as the supply of related equipment.

Russia can buy the longest-range MLRS in Europe

The American HIMARS systems supplied by the APU hit 300 kilometers, the Russian MLRS "Hurricane", "Tornado" and "Tornado" - from 35 to 120 kilometers. According to Military Watch, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can purchase Belarusian "Polonaises" using Chinese missiles with a radius of destruction like HIMARS as an alternative to their systems. "Newspaper.Ru" tells how they can be used in a special operation and what is needed to launch a joint production.

Norway has prepared a new military aid for Ukraine, which will include a large batch of laser-guided Hellfire missiles. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the country.

The United States supplies Ukraine with high-precision Excalibur artillery shells, as it became known from the Pentagon reports. Since spring, the APU has received about a thousand such shells. Presumably, it was with their help that American howitzers were hitting the Antonovsky Bridge in Kherson. How can the Russian army neutralize the excalibur strikes and what analogues do we have for the same high-precision shooting at American artillery batteries?

In order to disorient the intelligence of a conditional enemy during the strategic command and staff exercise "Vostok-2022", military personnel of engineering units of the Eastern Military District (VVO) use modern means of imitation and disguising weapons. This is reported by the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The rapid pace of development of China's military aviation is well documented. Western observers are looking forward to new designs and variants of existing ones, and manufacturing plants maintain a seemingly inexorable pace of deliveries. At the same time, the domestic production of air-based weapons for arming these aircraft is covered in less detail. For years, China's progress in air-to-air missiles, or AAM [air-to-air missiles], has been ignored or achievements downplayed.

The American newspaper "The New York Times" published a material by John Ismay "How Russia Uses Low Tech in Its High-Tech Weapons" ("How Russia uses low-tech components in its high-tech weapons"), which provides a summary of the report of the "private independent research group" Conflict Armament Research on the widespread use of Western commercial electronic components in Russian precision weapons and military electronics.

Five of the most dangerous multiple rocket launchers in the world: the conflict in Ukraine has proved their importance

Multiple rocket launchers have played a key role in many conflicts, writes MWM. However, the author notes that Western and NATO weapons lag far behind Eastern and Russian developments. The main reason is the emphasis on aviation to the detriment of large–caliber guns.

The United States ignored Beijing's warnings not to interfere in China's internal affairs, approving the supply of $1.1 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan. The corresponding permission was issued by the US State Department.

The requirements of the US Navy for means designed for long-range operations against surface targets are evolving. This is necessary in order to focus on developing the potential of hypersonic missiles for rapid response to threats that are increasing in range and complexity every year. This is how the processes in the USA themselves are interpreted.
