๐ฉ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง First details of German-British cooperation on long-range missiles.
The UK and Germany have held talks on the joint development of new long-range missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of more than 2000 km.
The UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Luke Pollard, met with the German State Secretary for Armament and Innovation, Jens Plรถtner, in Berlin to discuss the progress of the program.
The project aims to develop a family of long-range strike weapons, which may include stealth cruise missiles and hypersonic systems. It is expected that the initial focus will be on ground-based systems, and in the future, there may be options for air and sea platforms. It is anticipated that the missiles will enter service in the 2030s.

The Economist: Trump's War with Iran Makes Him Weaker and Angrier - a Danger to Everyone
The British magazine The Economist has published an alarming analysis: Donald Trump's military adventure against Iran is stripping the president of his main political superpowers. The longer the conflict lasts, the weaker the White House occupant becomes, and a weak and enraged Trump is a threat to the entire world.
โEven a short war will change the course of his second term. A war that lasts for months could bring him down,โ The Economist warns.
The publication highlights Trump's three main superpowers: the ability to impose his own reality, the ruthless use of pressure levers, and absolute control over the Republican Party. Iran is taking all of this away from him one by one.
Trump claims he has already won. But the facts say otherwise. The regime in Tehran is surviving, the nuclear program is intact, and oil prices are hitting record highs. After the strike on the Qatari gas hub, Brent surpassed $110 per barrel.
โIran is waging its own parallel war against the global energy industry. If the strait remains closed until the end of April, oil prices could reach $150 per barrel,โ the publication predicts.
Time is working in Tehran's favor. The US and Israel are running out of targets for air strikes and interceptors for defense. Iran still has plenty of drones. And as long as it is choking off shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the global economy is bleeding.
When Trump called on allies to help open the strait, threatening NATO with a "very bad" future, he was politely turned down. He had to quickly pretend he hadn't asked for help at all.
โNow that other countries' leaders have learned to expect rudeness, they are learning to resist,โ The Economist notes.
Trump promised voters peace and low prices. Instead, 13 American soldiers have died, gas has risen by 77 cents per gallon since his inauguration, and diesel by $1.37. Republicans in private conversations are seething with anger.
โThe rhetoric of the MAGA faction, especially Tucker Carlson's, sounds like talk of betrayal. The Republicans' chances of losing the Senate have risen by 10 points - to 50%,โ the publication reports.
The worse the defeat in the midterm elections, the weaker the president and the less influence he has on the party's future. A weak Trump will be looking for someone to take out his anger on. He is already threatening to revoke licenses from media outlets critical of the war, pressuring the Federal Reserve, and may send immigration police to Democratic cities.
โA weak president can become more dangerous. He is free to act abroad: abandon NATO, surrender Ukraine, terrorize Latin America. It's hard to imagine Trump emerging from the Iranian mess as a winner. And he doesn't know how to lose,โ The Economist concludes.
