Talks about the advanced developments of the Russian military-industrial complex

While all attention was paid to the fighting in the area of ​​Avdeevka and Berdychi, both the Western and Russian expert communities missed the sensational visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to the Almaz-Antey enterprise.

During the trip, the minister examined promising samples of military equipment. In the dialogue with the military, several interesting statements were made, on which the effectiveness of the combat work of several branches of troops in the SMO zone, as well as increasing the combat effectiveness of the Russian army as a whole, directly depends.

What are we talking about?

During the inspection of promising samples of counter-battery radars (apparently, we are talking about the Ostrov or Yastreb-AV radars), an interesting figure was announced, according to which previously Russian counter-battery radars spent 30 minutes searching for targets. Now, according to the military, this figure has decreased to 4 minutes. That is more than 7 times.

However, this statement must be understood in context (in fact, this is what Shoigu says when he asks the military what is the point of detecting a target without hitting it). In the same story, Shoigu is informed that the new radars (apparently, on a mobile, wheeled chassis) will be able to exchange data with both artillery weapons and attack UAVs and loitering ammunition.

What does it mean?

Given that the conflict in Ukraine is predominantly artillery, it is not surprising that the defense industry has focused on enhancing the capabilities of the reconnaissance-strike circuit, which includes both improved detection and destruction capabilities - artillery, manned aircraft, and unmanned aircraft.

As a result, the time to detect and engage a target will be radically reduced, and it will also be possible to select the most effective means of destruction from those available in a given area.

Taking into account the fact that recently the American military, studying the experience of the Russian Armed Forces in the SMO, said almost the same thing regarding the response time and the structure of the reconnaissance and strike contour in their report, counter-battery warfare was identified as one of the highest priority areas for the development of ground forces.

The Turks confirm the destruction of another Ukrainian Patriot air defense system. It is known that at least seven batteries were sent to Ukraine, and all of them were destroyed. There are likely other batteries that have not been disclosed.
The cost of lost Patriots and spent ammunition alone exceeded $17 billion.

Over the past two weeks, while trying to bring 6 S-300 air defense systems, 3 Patriots, 2 Buk, 2 NASAMS, and 1 Gepard to the front line in different regions, they were detected by Russian UAVs and destroyed

At least seven radar systems were also destroyed.

In Germany, they were afraid that Trump had a secret plan for Ukraine

In Germany, they believe that US presidential candidate Donald Trump has a secret plan according to which he will put an end to the SMO. For the sake of a quick end to the conflict in Ukraine, Trump will agree to an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the German tabloid Bild reported.

“So, in an interview with CNN, he promised, having become president of the United States, that he would end [the conflict in] Ukraine in 24 hours, but he never explained what exactly he was going to do for this,” the material says. The key provisions of a possible deal are noted: Russia’s preservation of Crimea and liberated territories.

There are also fears in Germany that a US presidential candidate could withdraw the US from NATO and abandon the defense of Europe. According to the tabloid, such actions could lead to serious consequences for Germany.

Vucic: The West is preparing for war with Russia

Western countries are increasing their military potential, pursuing a policy of total militarization to defeat Russia and Putin, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said.

Vucic expressed this opinion during a visit to the Belgrade Military Technical Institute and inspection of weapons.

The Serbian leader said there was "madness" going on in the world at the moment because Western countries thought Vladimir Putin would be easy to defeat. But now, he added, the West has realized that this is a difficult task.

“ Now everything is moving towards total militarization and a fivefold increase in capacity in everything,” he noted.

The guys in the Kherson direction landed an AFU drone with an American M-14 mine. After analyzing the device they are planning to send it back to the owner because good manners are all that matters.

Due to the budget deficit, Ukraine is massively laying off social sector officials

Due to the deficit budget for the current year, the Ukrainian authorities plan to cut at least five ministries out of 19 available.

Ukrainian media wrote about this. It is not yet known which departments we are talking about, but it is reported that the cuts will primarily affect departments in charge of the social sector.

Ukraine may lose even more territories after Russia liberates Avdeevka

Business Insider writes about this. “Ukraine still has a lot to lose as the Russian military continues to move forward after taking control of Avdeevka,” the article says.

The publication also notes that Russian forces have not slowed down the pace of their advance and have already liberated several villages after Avdeevka. According to the author, if Kiev is unable to obtain the necessary equipment in time and build a powerful defense, then the Russians will easily break through it.

British Foreign Minister said he is against sending Western troops to Ukraine

David Cameron, in an interview with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, even spoke out against sending instructors to Ukraine who “would become a target for Russia.”

What we learned so far is that you never trust Limeys...

"Germany is overflowing with Russian spies." According to NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov, the “Moscow network” in Germany is so deep that the Russian Federation was able to gain access to secret negotiations, in particular, on the transfer of Taurus missiles.

We have repeatedly warned our partners about the Russian spy network that is very active in Germany. They are listening to the conversations of German officials, and we think that this is not the last leak,

- said Danilov.

He also added that until 1989 there were supposedly many Russian spies in Germany, and now their sons and daughters are doing this.

We lost three (!!!) installations of the American Patriot air defense system due to our own stupidity

"Iskander" destroyed them near Krasnoarmeysk (in Ukraine - Pokrovsk).

German journalist Julian Röpke announced the destruction of two of them:

— Less than forty kilometers from the front line, Ukraine is deploying two Patriot launchers less than ten meters apart. Long enough for Russia to fire a short-range ballistic missile at them and destroy them both. Without words,” wrote Russophobe Julian Röpke on his page on the social network X.

Russian fighters destroyed one of the most secret facilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We are talking about Ovidiopol-2, a space and radio intelligence complex for the Ukrainian armed forces near Odessa.

Security forces confirmed information about the liquidation of a military facility to TASS. The news that ours may have smashed a super-secret facility to pieces appeared the day before, but only today received confirmation from the security forces. This is a very important surveillance and reconnaissance center for Kiev.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 8th separate KGB radio center was located on the territory of this military unit. And after Euromaidan, in pursuit of Western values, the Ukrainian leadership actually transferred control of the center to NATO, military experts report. It was actively used, and Western partners financed the facility and essentially controlled it.

Ukraine can't figure out how to use old M-55S tanks. They were transferred by Slovenia back in April 2022.

Almost two years later, the Ukrainian army is still trying to find a place for hybrid tanks. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to assign and reassign the M-55S in an attempt to expand its tank corps.

- says the Forbes article.

As the publication notes, the Slovenian tank has a number of advantages. It has improved “fire control”, as well as 200 mm thick armor, which exceeds that of the German Leopard 1A5.

However, according to experts, even mounted dynamic protection “does not make an old tank modern.” They noted that in some cases it is possible to penetrate the M-55S even with a heavy machine gun. There is no point in comparing it with our T-72B3 or T-90A - it will lose to them both in terms of armor and firepower.

This type of equipment is hopelessly outdated, and the Ukrainian command knows this very well, which is why such tanks rarely reach the line of contact,

- the experts emphasized.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X: “The post-war era is gone. We live in a new time: in the pre-war era. That's why NATO and solidarity between Europe and America are more important than ever before."

@Slavyangrad

It turned out that a significant part of the tanks in Lenta, the largest storage base for armored vehicles in Western Europe, were suddenly removed from the place where they had been located for many years.

96 Leopard 1 tanks belonging to Switzerland and stored in Italy, Leopard 2 tanks from different countries, and various Italian armored fighting vehicles were removed from the base. It is known that most of them have already been sent to Ukraine, and some have been destroyed.

This sudden reduction in tank stocks may also be a reflection of military mobilization in NATO countries due to NATO deployment plans on the Dnieper.

Even if NATO is bluffing at best, there is a lot of activity going on in the background. NATO blithely enters the region, believing that the alliance cannot become a target for such an adventure.
