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.

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.

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.

The New York Times publication about the alleged supply of North Korean artillery shells and missiles to Russia is part of an information campaign designed to create the impression of a shortage of funds in Russia for the successful continuation of a special military operation, military expert Alexei Leonkov told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

The equipment of the Ukrainian troops has not withstood the test of a special operation

An exhibition of weapons seized during a special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine has opened within the framework of the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2022". Those who could not get to the facility before the end of the forum (August 21), can do it by visiting the Patriot Park in Kubinka near Moscow.

The personnel of the gunners' combat work was presented by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Video footage of the M777 howitzer was presented on the Internet. According to a number of Ukrainian Telegram channels, the tubes that are located next to the howitzer are similar to those used for Excalibur shells.

In the "zoo" of Ukrainian self-propelled artillery, consisting of samples left over from the Soviet Army, delivered from Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Norway, Latvia, Belgium, there may be replenishment from Swedish-made equipment.

Poland continues to actively arm itself, planning to eventually create one of the most powerful and heavily armed armies in Europe. In addition to the purchase of weapons from other countries, Warsaw places part of the orders at its own enterprises, in particular, the supply of self-propelled artillery units will be carried out by the company Huta Stalowa Wola, which produces Krab self-propelled guns.
