A regiment from Hrodna to receive Pantsir and Tor systems?
On October 15, the 1st Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment held a meeting on planning combat training for the new academic year. Among other things, they discussed the issue of “continuation of training of specialists for new models of weapons.” Namely, for the Pantsir SAM system and the Tor-M2 SAM system.
Back in January 2021, the Belarusian military reported about “pre-contract work” for the purchase of the Pantsir-S1 SAM system. And in May 2024, it was already reported that the Pantsir-SM system was being “analyzed” for possible future procurement. It wasn’t reported when the Pantsir-S1/SM SAM systems would be put in service with the Belarusian Armed Forces.
If we interpret the words of military officials literally, then the process of purchasing Pantsir-S1/SM SAM systems has regressed in 3 years: from preparation for signing a procurement contract to analyzing (?) the army’s...

RT @Tatarigami_UA: According to Yonhap news agency, North Korea has sent 12,000 troops, including special forces, to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, per their source in South Korea’s Intelligence. This aligns with an earlier statement from Ukraine's military intelligence (GUR).
If accurate, this means nearly a corps-sized force from North Korea is aiding Russia in its invasion of a European country.
Meanwhile, on October 16, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed his willingness to discuss a "just peace" in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This not only appears weak but also reinforces Putin's belief that Western leadership is too divided and fragile to sustain a united front for the long haul.
After all, both Europe and the U.S. have poured substantial resources into this war, depleting their weapon and ammunition stocks. From Russia’s perspective, its successes on the battlefield aren't just victories over Ukraine but over the combined economies and production capacities of the West.
Some may argue that Russia turning to North Korea shows how desperate its situation is. Perhaps it does, but the fact remains: Russia is finding new sources of manpower.
And who is stepping up for Ukraine? While Russia pulls in thousands of troops from North Korea, Ukraine is asked to mobilize its smallest demographic, sacrificing its future, while Western nations debate whether they should contribute even a fraction of their GDP.
U.S. foreign policy is somewhat paralyzed by the upcoming elections, and much of Europe remains inactive, ignoring the fact that North Korean soldiers are about to fight in a European war.
They rationalize it away - it's not an EU country, not a NATO member, not our problem.
French President Macron once talked about sending troops to Ukraine, but it never moved beyond words. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un made no announcements - he simply sent a corps-sized force to help Russia.
China is watching. Iran is watching. The Global South is watching. And what do they see? They see a U.S. too focused on internal political discord and even a failure protect its own interests in the Strait of Aden, despite being the world's sole naval guarantor of secure trade. I am not even talking about Europe which is even more interested in that. At the same time, European leaders like Scholz are pursuing peace with Putin out of a reluctance to stand for their values or security interests
If you can't see how this weakness will reshape the global security landscape, and if North Korean soldiers in Europe aren't enough of a wake-up call, then I doubt anything will make the West to act, even to protect itself.

The Navy transport reportedly happened between the 8th to 13th, from the "areas near Chongjin, Hamheung, and Musudan".
It might be possible to independently confirm this.
Overall, on the NK support/deployments, not a lot is clear atm so hard conclusions are premature.
