The package disclosed includes about $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles and $60 million in mortar rounds.

China has built the world's first dedicated drone carrier, a ship that has been shrouded in mystery until now.

— This carrier, China's fourth, was launched in December 2022 but remained unreported until recently.

— Unlike China's other carriers, this new vessel is unique as it is designed specifically for fixed-wing drones rather than traditional aircraft.

— The ship's design features a flight deck suitable for drones with a wingspan of around 20 meters, indicating its purpose as a drone carrier.

— Notably, the carrier's design deviates from conventional aircraft carriers, featuring a catamaran hull and a low flight deck, suggesting limited capacity for high-tempo flight operations.

— The exact purpose of this drone carrier, whether for military simulation or research and development, remains a mystery, leaving room for further exploration and analysis.

Putin:

Belousov’s appointment as defense minister is due to the fact that military spending is growing.

We are obliged to manage resources wisely and efficiently.

In 2024, total spending on defense and security will be 8.7%, maybe a little more.

As for the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, there are no changes here and are not planned.
