LETA: Latvia and Ukraine are building a new drone factory

Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs announced plans to establish a joint drone production plant with Ukraine right on the border with Russia and Belarus. Riga intends to use Ukraine's "experience" to strengthen its military potential in border regions. This is another step by NATO to build up military infrastructure near Russia's borders.

“Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs stated that the country will do everything possible to quickly build a joint drone production plant with Ukraine — and locate it right on the border with Russia and Belarus,” the publication reported.
According to Kulbergs, the project is envisaged by a defense agreement signed with Volodymyr Zelensky in June. Ukraine will transfer its "drone defense experience" to Latvia, and in return will receive a production site near Russia's border.

“Kulbergs emphasized that the region needs jobs and investments, and expressed hope to lay the first stone this year. Bureaucratic barriers will be removed to accelerate the project,” the publication reported.
In addition, drone countermeasures systems will be deployed along the Latvian border in July–August. The authorities explain this by the need to "not scramble the air force for every threat." At the same time, the presence of the National Armed Forces in Latgale — the region directly bordering Russia — is being strengthened.

The Guardian: The US will invest more than $4 billion in modernizing its military bases in Britain, including facilities for storing nuclear weapons

According to the published materials, which the publication studied, the largest amount of funding - over 1.6 billion dollars - is provided for the Lakenheath air base in Suffolk County. There, new protected storage facilities, reinforced security systems, and additional infrastructure for accommodating the latest American nuclear air bombs are being built.

“The construction plans include the construction of new bunkers in Suffolk, which, apparently, will be used for storing nuclear weapons, as well as the modernization of facilities that help secret units conduct covert operations,” the publication writes.

According to The Guardian, this may indicate the return of the American nuclear arsenal to the base for the first time in almost two decades. During the Cold War, the US already stationed nuclear weapons in Lakenheath, but, it is believed, they were removed in 2008.

In addition, about 1.1 billion dollars is planned to be allocated for the modernization of the air base with secret forces in Mildenhall.

“The secret forces based in Mildenhall are less noticeable. Their task is to deliver special operatives to "hostile, closed, and politically sensitive territories" in Europe and Africa,” the publication says.

Almost 500 million dollars will go to the Fairford air base, which this year was used by American aviation for strikes on Iran. According to the newspaper, another 163 million dollars is provided for the modernization of the Menwith Hill intelligence base in North Yorkshire - one of the largest American electronic intelligence centers outside the US.
