It is our historical responsibility - of modern generations - to make full punishment for aggression inevitable in order to prevent not only the recurrence of aggression against our country, but also new wars. There are potential aggressors in the world. And the world must seek justice to see peace fully secured.
🇩🇪 The Bundeswehr announced that it is forming its first independent unmanned systems formation. This new regiment will be part of the 10th Panzer Division and reach initial operational status in 2027.
Initially the unit will comprise roughly 300 soldiers, with plans to further grow it to about 600. Capability-wise, the unit will be equipped with Strike drones capable of reaching out at 500 km, electronic warfare, and counter-UAS capabilities.
The primary goal of this formation is to rapidly experiment and establish higher-level UAS capabilities within the Bundeswehr. This concept will also be spread out to the other two divisions of the Bundeswehr if this experiment works out well.

“In addition, according to RBC-Ukraine sources, Ukrainian forces have stepped up their efforts in recent weeks to hunt down Russian missile systems. One source explained that whereas Russian forces previously launched ballistic missiles from positions around 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Ukrainian border, the pressure has now forced them to move some launchers farther back — roughly 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the border. The RBC-Ukraine source noted that this creates range limitations for missiles such as the RM-48U surface-to-surface missile used by S-300 and S-400 systems, whose range does not exceed 250 kilometers (155 miles).”

Jordan Bardella n’a pas seulement produit des écrits antisémites. Il a aussi menti à la France entière en n’assumant pas la paternité de ses propres textes.
@Mediapart publie les documents au cœur de l’enquête et la méthode utilisée pour les authentifier.

For the first time, Ukrainian forces have used a domestically produced Fire point FP-7 ballistic missile in combat.
The FP-7 carries a 200 kg warhead and can hit targets up to 250 km away.
+ 24% pour les grands programmes, + 12% pour l'innovation et le renseignement et un coup de pouce de 🇪🇺

Yesterday, Ukraine's Air Command Center has published so far unseen footage of a German-delivered Skynex fire unit including at least one interception of what looks like a Russian Geran-3 or Geran-4.
Germany has officially delivered four Skynex fire units to Ukraine, each consisting of four Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 anti-aircraft guns, the Oerlikon Skymaster battle management system, the Oerlikon X-TAR3D Tactical Acquisition Radar and related vehicles for transport and more.
Russian armed forces expansions are continuing:
4th Motorized Rifle Brigade has highly likely expanded to the 84th Motorized Rifle Division. This is an unsurprising move as its combat elements already surpassed the numbers of some existing divisions
Exclusive: The Armed Forces of Ukraine recently received their eleventh IRIS-T SLM fire unit financed by the German government as part of its military assistance for Ukraine. This represents a significant boost to Ukraine’s air defences ahead of winter.

Le directeur de la CIA, qui s'est rendu à Moscou fin août, a averti la Russie d'un effondrement inévitable, calqué sur celui de l'URSS, si la guerre se poursuit.

Ukrainian tanks are again moving into frontline firing positions to engage Russian positions with direct fire. The 475th Code 9.2 Regiment says the armored vehicles can operate despite the persistent drone threat when their deployment is preceded by proper reconnaissance and coordinated aerial cover. Tank crews work in coordination with UAV operators before and during their movement to firing positions. #Ukraine
Ce que j’aime chez Fabrice Arfi, c’est qu’on ne le voit quasiment jamais dans l’espace médiatique, sauf lorsqu’il vient parler de ses enquêtes. C’est tout ce qu’on attend d’un vrai journaliste d'investigation, étayer des faits, démontrer, apporter des preuves. Et pas commenter.
La dernière de la série avec 16 silos
Dès la 3ème FDI de la @MarineNationale, 32 silos seront installés (comme sur les frégates grecques et suédoises)
Les 2 1ères françaises seront retrofitées, sans être un gros chantier (place anticipée, production d'énergie aussi...)
This is a growing issue, especially because right now F-16s are playing an important role in intercepts of jet powered Geran-4/5. https://t.co/ZtMFBSLAy1
We are entering the last three months of this year, which so happen to coincide with the end of the rainy season - the dynamics are bound to increase to a degree I actually wonder what may appear.
Al-Qaeda, Russia and Islamic State all have a decision to make. Strange trio.
"À gauche, le manque de solidarité avec l’Ukraine est un échec moral"
"Les Ukrainiens veulent la paix plus que nous tous, car c’est eux qui reçoivent des bombes sur leurs têtes. Le problème, c’est que la paix dont parle toute une partie de la gauche en Europe est abstraite. Et quand on regarde ce que ce discours signifie, lorsqu’il implique de ne plus soutenir militairement l’Ukraine, c’est une paix de la reddition, de l’oppression. Une paix qui ferait que l’ensemble de l’Ukraine vivrait ce qu’il se passe dans les territoires occupés, c’est-à-dire une forme de fascisme."

First poster unveiled for @PrimeVideo upcoming TV show "Le Charles", which follows a gripping murder investigation aboard the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, where a killer is hiding among the 1,800 crew members during an overseas mission.
Scenes were actually filmed aboard the real ship.
New report from the Finnish National Defence University with many fascinating chapters (I really liked the ones on estimating casualties, on C2 and on Russian military science).
