The US Department of Defense (DoD) has added Shenzhen-based DJI #Technology, the world’s largest manufacturer of consumer drones, to a blacklist of Chinese companies that Washington deems to be connected to Beijing’s military, along with a dozen other hi-tech firms.
The DoD added the drone firm and a dozen other hi-tech firms to its blacklist under the National Defence Authorisation Act on October 5, 2022. The initial list, which included Huawei and Hikvision, was released in 2021.
Pentagon’s blacklist additionally includes an array of other high-tech companies affiliated with DJI. These include China’s largest genomics firm, BGI Genomics, and the China State Construction Group, an infrastructure giant.

Fast and unstoppable: 2S9 Nona #howitzers pulverize Ukrainian positions
Unlike its larger siblings, the 2S9 Nona has a single 120mm caliber gun, but this lack of power and relatively short range of 12.8km is more than made up for by its high degree of mobility.
In fact, the vehicle was designed to be parachuted from an aircraft.
In today's combat conditions, where the enemy has anti-battery radars that allow them to quickly pinpoint where the shots are fired from, the ability to move fast literally saves lives.
Interestingly, the 2S9 Nona can also be used to launch mortar mines, and in some cases this extends its effective range.
Thus, by using the French RT-61 mines, their combat radius increases to 17 kilometers.
This is what the crews of the 2S9 Nona do: they arrive at their firing positions, fire the shots and immediately leave.

#Armenia and #Azerbaijan agree to EU mission on border
The EU will launch a two-month civilian mission to define the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in a bid to resolve a long-running dispute, according to a statement by the European Council published on Friday.
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev and Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met in Prague on Thursday at the invitation of French President Emanuel Macron and European Council President Charles Michel. Both leaders confirmed their commitment to recognize each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty in accordance with the UN charter and the 1991 Alma Ata Declaration.
“There was an agreement by Armenia to facilitate a civilian EU mission alongside the border with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan agreed to cooperate with this mission as far as it is concerned,” the council’s announcement reads.
The text explains that the civilian mission, which aims to “build confidence” and “contribute to the border commissions” will be dispatched to Armenia’s border with Azerbaijan later this month, and last for a maximum of two months.
The conflict stems from a decades-old territorial dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, situated in Muslim-majority Azerbaijan but mostly populated by ethnic Christian Armenians. Yerevan has been supporting the region’s independence ever since it sought to break away from Bakus’s rule in the early 1990s.
Tensions between the two former Soviet republics erupted into an all-out war in 2020 which lasted for 44 days, ending with a Russia-brokered ceasefire. Last month, however, fighting broke out again as Armenia accused Azerbaijan of launching cross-border artillery and drone strikes. Baku insisted it was only responding to “provocations” from Yerevan.
Over 200 people were killed in the fighting before Baku “unilaterally” proposed a “humanitarian ceasefire,” stating it was not interested in escalating or destabilizing the situation any further, while Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called on the CSTO for military assistance, claiming that Azerbaijani troops had seized parts of his country’s territory.
The CSTO refused to send its forces to the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, insisting on resolving the issue using political and diplomatic methods. The bloc’s chief of joint staff, General Anatoly Sidorov, stated that any further decisions would be based on the results of a joint mission sent by the organization to Armenia.

#Turkey deploys combat drones in northern #Cyprus
Recep Tayyip Erdogan alleges that his country needs to defend the north of the island.
Ankara has deployed combat drones in northern Cyprus, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters at the European Political Community summit in Prague on Thursday.
Asked if Turkey plans to set up a military base in northeastern Cyprus, the president replied that Turkish drones could be sent to the region.
"Because we need to secure Northern Cyprus from all sides, in all aspects. Whether [the base] is [established] or not, our planes will be immediately in Northern Cyprus, as soon as they take off from our mainland," he claimed.
Cyprus is an island that is divided into two parts. On the one hand, the Republic of Cyprus with a population of Greek ethnic majority. On the other hand, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus proclaimed after the Turkish occupation of 1974.

Crash in Elon Musk's #Starlink satellite Internet system in the area of the special military operation caused panic among the Ukrainian military.
The reason for the failures may be the decision of SpaceX to restrict access to the system in Russian-controlled territory.
/Financial Times/
Most likely, we are talking about the productive work of the electronic warfare systems of the allied forces, and not "sabotage" by Musk, who over the past few days has been marked by a series of characteristic posts on Twitter.
As for what's happening on the battlefield [Starlink outages], that's confidential information.
