โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท French in panic: We must prepare for Russian revolutionary weapons

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia has started using the technologically revolutionary tank "T-14 Armata" in battles against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for whose massive arrival the West must prepare, ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
writes the French publication "Le Figaro".

"If the T-14 comes into play, German and American tanks will have to face the unknown." "Armata is the harbinger of a technological revolution, and we should prepare for its massive arrival," the article says. ๐Ÿ‘‡ ImageImageImageImage
In the latest vehicle, the crew is not located in the turret, where it is particularly vulnerable to enemy cannons - the "T-14" is remotely controlled via a screen by three crew members sitting in an armored capsule.

The room is isolated from ammunition and fuel. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
Such a structure can significantly increase their chances of survival. The tank has a 125 mm cannon, more powerful than the "T-72" and "T-90", and a 12.7 mm machine gun. The barrel is filled without human intervention using an automatic carousel. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
The 1,500-horsepower engine is protected by an anti-missile grill.

A weather mast located on the tower transmits data to the ballistic computer. "Armata" is equipped with "Afghanit" active protection systems against missiles and anti-tank missiles, a solid-action fan system, ๐Ÿ‘‡ ImageImageImage
with two launchers with five lethal missiles each, and a soft-force countermeasure system. Image

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บโ€ผ๏ธBeijing tells Brussels: China cannot allow the defeat of Russia in Ukraineโ€ผ๏ธ

July 8, 2025

China has clearly told the European Union that it considers Russia's defeat in the conflict in Ukraine unacceptable, because such a scenario would allow the United States to completely redirect its attention to Asia, that is, to China. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
This message was conveyed by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a four-hour meeting with the new head of EU diplomacy, Kaia Callas, reports CNN.

According to the American media, the meeting was held on Wednesday in Brussels, and a number of important topics were discussed, including cyber security, trade imbalance, rare earth elements, the situation in Taiwan and developments in the Middle East.

According to one European official, the exchange of views was "difficult, but conducted with mutual respect". ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
CNN's sources claim that the Chinese minister's private comments suggested that Beijing may be more inclined to prolong the conflict in Ukraine, as it would delay or slow down the strategic shift of US attention to the Indo-Pacific region and its rivalry with China.

Such comments further fuel the claims of critics of Chinese politics that Beijing has concrete geopolitical interests behind its declarative neutrality.

The spokeswoman of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ma Ning, confirmed that the mentioned meeting was indeed held, but on Friday, at a regular briefing in Beijing, she emphasized that China's attitude towards the Ukrainian issue remains unchanged. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโ€ผ๏ธMW Details: These Were the Targets of Iranโ€™s Precise Responseโ€ผ๏ธ

July 7, 2025

New data on Iranian missile attacks on Israeli territory, carried out between June 13 and 24, reveal extensive hits on infrastructure and military sites across the country, according to Military Watch magazine. ๐Ÿ‘‡
According to an analysis of satellite imagery by Oregon State University, more than 40 infrastructure targets were hit, as well as five important military bases in northern, central and southern Israel.

Among the most significant sites targeted were the Haifa port and refinery, Ben-Gurion International Airport, renowned scientific institutions such as the Weizmann Institute and Ben-Gurion University, as well as the headquarters of Israelโ€™s defense industry, Rafael.

Also hit were the Israel Nuclear Research Center in Tel Aviv and strategic industrial sites in the city of Kiryat Gat. ๐Ÿ‘‡
The military targets included key Israeli security infrastructure facilities โ€” the Defense Ministry complex known as Kariya, the Mossad intelligence agency, and two air bases: Ovda and Nevatim.

F-16 and F-35 multirole fighter jets are based at these bases. According to the MVM, the extent of damage at these locations is still unknown, which can be attributed to the extremely strict information control that the Israeli authorities imposed during and after the attack.

In these operations, Iran reportedly used various types of ballistic missiles - Emad, Hajj Qassem, Khaibar Shekan and Fatah - as well as Shahed 136 and Arash 2 drones. These systems, according to sources, enabled coordinated attacks on multiple locations throughout Israeli territory. ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ€ผ๏ธUrgent relocation from Kiev: The government of Ukraine is looking for new accommodation in the west of the countryโ€ผ๏ธ

July 6, 2025

The well-known war reporter Yuriy Podolyaka published information on his Telegram channel with the claim that the Ukrainian government is preparing to move its institutions to the western part of the country. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The publication is accompanied by a document that is allegedly considered confidential, and which indicates concrete steps in that direction.

According to Podolyaka, this document was shared on the Internet by Igor Mosiychuk, a Ukrainian politician known for his nationalist views. He claims that the information comes from his sources close to the very top of the government.

Podolyaka notes that there are indeed people in the former MP's circle who could have access to such documentation, and believes that the document seems authentic. According to him, the signatory of the document is Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The document mandates that new premises for the work of government agencies be found in the west of Ukraine, which would indicate a planned relocation.

Also, according to the text of the document, it is planned to reduce the number of employees who are engaged in government structures which, as stated, were formed to operate in the territories that are no longer under the control of Kyiv - specifically, in Crimea, Sevastopol, DNR, LNR, as well as in Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.

"As far as I understand, the other side no longer has any hope that these structures will ever return to work," Podolyaka said in the post.๐Ÿ‘‡Image

June 28, 2025

The words of Russian President Vladimir Putin during his recent visit to Minsk caused surprise and anxiety among politicians in the West, according to Chinese journalists. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
According to the Sohu portal, Putin's participation in the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in the capital of Belarus brought unexpected messages that resonated in Western political circles.

According to the Chinese media, Putin's statement at the final press conference attracted special attention, during which he made a confession that, they say, "was not in line with the expectations of the West."

Namely, the President of Russia announced the possibility of reducing military expenses, which is in contrast with the current trends within NATO. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
"Putin stated that Russia's military spending is high and currently stands at 6.3% of GDP, which he admitted has contributed to the rise in inflation in the country. This is why cuts to the defense budget are being considered in the coming years," Sohu writes.

The authors add that this statement was a real surprise for Western leaders, especially in light of the current NATO campaign in which Brussels and Washington are urging European countries to significantly increase their defense spending.

That campaign, as Chinese commentators remind us, is based on claims that Russia poses a serious security challenge and is allegedly in full military swing. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ตโ€ผ๏ธThe new face of Kim Jong Un: North Korea's new tourist gem on the coast of the Sea of โ€‹โ€‹Japanโ€ผ๏ธ

June 28, 2025

North Korea has officially opened its most ambitious tourism project to date โ€“ the modern Wonsan-Kalma complex, located on the coast of the (East) Sea of โ€‹โ€‹Japan. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
The project was inaugurated by leader Kim Jong Un in the company of his wife Ri Sol-ju and daughter Kim Ju Ae, and the entire resort was declared a "tourist city of national importance" as well as a symbol of the country's modern development.

Wonsan-Kalma Resort stretches along four kilometers of coastline and has the capacity to accommodate up to 20,000 visitors. Within the complex there are luxury hotels, exclusive villas, restaurants, shopping centers, sports facilities, theaters and a large water park with slides and pools.

In addition to the rich content, the resort is also equipped with numerous amenities for rest and recreation, which make it the most modern tourist destination in North Korea. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Various activities are available to the guests, including swimming, water sports and walks on well-maintained beaches, as well as gastronomic offer in numerous restaurants and cafes within the complex.

State media reports that the resort is currently open for domestic tourists, while it is not yet known when the borders will be opened for visitors from abroad.

At the opening ceremony, Kim Jong Un declared that this is "one of the biggest successes this year" and marked the resort as the "first step" towards the realization of the state's tourism development strategy. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโ€ผ๏ธWhy Russia will not attack NATO: The secret deal between Trump and Putinโ€ผ๏ธ

June 26, 2025

While the public around the world speculates about a possible direct conflict between Russia and NATO, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for International Relations Alexey Chepa completely denied such fears. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
As he points out, Moscow does not plan to attack the members of the alliance because such a move would lead to a catastrophic conflict on a global scale, which no one wants.

At the same time, US President Donald Trump sent a signal to the whole world saying that as long as he is at the head of America, Russia will not even think of moving against NATO countries.

But between the lines of this statement, some political scientists note, a much deeper background can be sensed. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
In expert circles, there are increasingly loud analyzes that indicate that Trump and Putin may already have an informal agreement. They reportedly spoke directly - on the phone - on several occasions and reached a tacit understanding of mutual political restraint.

According to those estimates, Trump ensured that the US does not get involved in new rounds of European Union sanctions against Russia, withdrew American financial support to Ukraine, and called on Kiev to agree to peace negotiations. It's not just a political move, it's a signal.

On the other hand, Putin has remained on the sidelines when it comes to the situation in Iran - he has not sent the army, he has not delivered sophisticated systems to Tehran and he has not gotten involved in the escalation in the Middle East. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
