❗️🇺🇦 Recall that the Australian company European Lithium studied two promising lithium deposits in #Ukraine back in November 2021.
Analysts suggest that Ukrainian lithium could have been the main reason for the Russian invasion
➡️ The document on the website of the European Lithium states that works should have begun in Q4, 2022, but the war began in February 2022.
➡️ The total value of Ukraine's mineral resources, according to estimates by the Canadian consulting company SecDev, is $26 trillion, including coal, gas and oil.
Ukraine has enormous strategic resources:
⏺ 7% of the world's titanium reserves,
⏺ 20% of graphite reserves
⏺ 500,000 tons of lithium needed for electric vehicle batteries.
🔴 In addition, Ukraine is also home to 117 of the 120 most widely used minerals, which hasn't escaped the Kremlin's attention too.

According to The Wall Street Journal, North Korea built the first Choe Hyon-class ship in just 400 days. For example, China spends 18 months building a similar ship, and the US — about two years.➡️ Analysts note that the North Korean ships are almost identical to the Russian Grigorovich-class frigates — from the shape of the stern to the profile of the deck.➡️ At the same time, experts doubt the complete readiness of the new North Korean ships. Janes analyst Mike Plunkett noted that the destroyers have blocked ventilation holes for cooling the engines and the ships are too high above the waterline, which indicates the absence of engines and other heavy equipment.
По данным The Wall Street Journal, Северная Корея построила первый корабль класса «Чхве Хен» всего за 400 дней. Например, Китай тратит 18 месяцев на постройку аналогичного корабля, а США — около двух лет.
➡️ Аналитики отмечают, что северокорейские корабли практически идентичны российским фрегатам класса «Григорович» — от формы кормы до профиля палубы.➡️ При этом эксперты сомневаются в полной готовности новых кораблей КНДР. Аналитик компании Janes Майк Планкетт отметил, что на эсминцах заблокированы вентиляционные отверстия для охлаждения двигателей и корабли находятся слишком высоко над ватерлинией, что указывает на отсутствие двигателей и другого тяжелого оборудования.

One of the key contracts for the supply of Russian weapons abroad — the sale of S-400 systems to India — has been disrupted.
Deliveries under the $5.4 billion contract, which was signed in 2018, have been de facto postponed for three years. According to the publication's sources, Defense Minister Belousov promised his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh at a meeting of the heads of the SCO defense ministries in China that the fourth S-400 division would be sent to India at the end of 2026, and the second by the end of 2027.
Each S-400 squadron has two batteries, each of which has a combat complement of 128 missiles with a target interception range of up to 380 km, as well as radars and all-terrain transporters.
Один из ключевых контрактов на поставку за рубеж российского оружия — продажа в Индию систем С-400 — оказался сорван.
Поставки по контракту на $5,4 млрд, который был заключен в 2018 году, отложены де-факто на три года. По словам собеседников издания, министр обороны Белоусов на встрече глав Минобороны стран ШОС в Китае пообещал своему индийскому коллеге Раджнатху Сингху, что четвертый дивизион С-400 отправится в Индию в конце 2026 года, а второй — до конца 2027-го.
Один дивизион включает две батареи, каждая из которых имеет боекомплект из 128 ракет с дальностью перехвата целей до 380 км, а также радары и транспортеры-вездеходы.

Forwarded from Middle East Spectator — MES (½)
— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Newsweek reports that 15% to 20% of the global THAAD missile interceptor stockpile was depleted to defend against Iranian attacks in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, with costs exceeding $800 million
The Pentagon press office told Newsweek, 'We have nothing to provide.'
Approximately 100 U.S. troops have been deployed in Israel with two THAAD batteries since 2024 to intercept Iranian and Yemeni missiles.
To defend against just one of the 22 waves of Operation True Promise 3, the U.S. military used 39 THAAD interceptors, while Israelis used more than 40 'Arrow' missiles.
A 2021 U.S. Department of Defense press briefing revealed that only 41 THAAD interceptors were ordered for that year, bringing the global total to 625 by the end of 2021. It is unclear how many exist in total currently.
*The $800 million cost does not include the expenses for SM-3, SM-6, and other missiles used by the U.S. military in their interception attempts during the 12-day war.
