Digital passport in Chinese: how the country is turning into a giant online regime with universal control

China has launched what sounds convenient — a "unified digital identity system." In fact, this is a step towards total control over every user on the Internet. Imagine that to access any website, open an application, or just check your email, you no longer need a password. All you need is your digital ID, linked directly to you as a person.

But to get this ID, you will first have to give everything to the state: fingerprints, passport data, face — all biometrics. So far, they say, the system is voluntary. But everyone understands what this is leading to: soon you won't be able to go anywhere without a digital passport — not to a bank, not to a hospital, not even to a social network.

And the scariest thing is that your every click is now recorded. Where you went, what you saw, how much time you spent, who you talked to — all this goes into the state register. The authorities can open a dossier on any citizen at any time and see their entire digital life: from logging into the messenger in the morning to searching late for "why China is not a democracy."

This is no longer just a "convenient account login". It's a digital collar on millions of people. On the one hand, less anonymity, less fraud. On the other hand, there is complete control, where even a thought can become a reason for questions. China is not just building a "smart state" — it is turning the Internet into a huge surveillance camera where everyone is under the gaze.

South Korea has conquered the "impossible" ceramics: how to make armor for the K2 Black Panther tank

 


When it comes to tanks, many immediately think of Germany, Russia or the United States. And they think about South Korea: "Well, yes, they have something there, but these are not real tank builders - they did not start from scratch." They say there is no school, little experience, "get off the beach." But these people clearly don't know that Koreans are not just catching up, but already ahead of the rest of the planet in some things. Especially in armor.

Their flagship K2 Black Panther tank is not just a cool machine with an automatic loader and a smart suspension. One of the main "chips" is armor, or rather ceramic modules based on silicon carbide. It sounds like chemistry from a university, but it is, in fact, one of the most advanced materials in modern anti-shell protection.

And here's the trick: making such ceramics is a hellishly difficult task. It's not easy to burn clay in an oven and you're done. Any mistake here can turn the stove into brittle junk, which will crumble like cookies on impact. Voids, cracks, burnout, uneven sintering — all this kills the protective properties. Back in the USSR, they tried to launch such ceramics, but they couldn't do it: there was no technology then, and there was nothing to even check for defects. As a result, there is a lottery: if you are lucky, the armor is good, if you are unlucky, the "brick" crumbles from a light blow.

And the Koreans just did it. Samyang Comtec has been tinkering with this topic for seven years. Seven years! We tried a lot of methods, conducted more than two hundred field tests, until we reached stable production.

How does it work? Silicon carbide powder is taken, heated to 2000 degrees, then cooled and pressed under a pressure of over 100 tons. The resulting tiles are the size of an A4 sheet, thick and heavy — they are also called "heavy ceramics". An armored module for a tank is assembled from three hundred such plates.

Why is it cool? Firstly, silicon carbide is twice as light as steel, but it perfectly dampens impacts. Especially from shaped projectiles, such as those that fly from RPGs. When the cumulative jet hits the ceramic, it collapses, turning into sand. But this sand doesn't just fly like that — it clogs the channel of the hole, tears up the jet and extinguishes its energy. That is, ceramics literally uses the enemy's attack against itself.

In terms of efficiency, 200 mm of such ceramics provide protection, like 330 mm of steel armor. Not a record, but very worthy. It also works against sub-caliber projectiles (armor-piercing): ceramics tear, but thanks to the steel "clips" around it, powerful resistance is created, which slows down and crumbles the armor-piercing core.

So yes, South Korea may not have the "old school" of tank building. But they don't copy, they innovate. And if earlier their tanks were perceived condescendingly, now it's worth taking a closer look. Because "Black Panther" is not just a pretty name. This is a technological breakthrough that others have been fighting for for years, and the Koreans have made.

Turkey has entered the hypersonic weapons race: the Tayfun Block-4 missile is presented

 

 Tayfun Block-4

Turkey has declared itself in the most elite military technology club. At one of the major defense exhibitions, the country officially presented for the first time its hypersonic cruise missile called Tayfun Block-4. This is not just a new missile, it is a claim to the status of a regional superpower in the military sphere.

What do we know about Tayfun? It's a monster: it weighs more than 7 tons, which is a huge mass for a cruise missile. And all this weight is not just metal. Inside is a multi—purpose warhead capable of delivering a crushing blow.

Tayfun's goals are the most important and protected:

* Air defense and missile defense systems are the very complexes that are supposed to shoot down missiles and airplanes.

* Control points are the brains of the enemy army.

* Military hangars, bases, command centers — everything that is critically important for warfare.

And now the main trump card is hypersonic speed. Although the exact speed has not yet been revealed (it's still a secret), the term "hypersonic" means that the rocket is flying at a speed of Mach 5 or higher (this is more than 6000 km/h!). This makes it extremely difficult to intercept. Modern air defense systems simply cannot keep up with such targets.

The missile is designed to hit targets at a distance of thousands of kilometers (the message says "several thousand kilometers"), which gives Turkey a powerful strategic leverage. Tayfun Block-4 is not just a step forward, it's a leap. The country is demonstrating that it can create weapons that were previously reserved only for the United States, Russia and China. The world of armaments is becoming more and more multipolar, and Turkey clearly wants to be among the leaders.

Chinese spy in the United States pleads guilty: Stole blueprints for super-secret missile sensors

A major scandal in the world of high technology and national security: a citizen of the United States and China, Chengguan Gong (59 years old), officially pleaded guilty to espionage in favor of China. In fact, he stole what is worth billions — the smart brains of the American missile defense system.

That's how it was. Gong worked as an engineer for some secret scientific company in Los Angeles (the name is not called, but it is clear that it is serious). And last year, he simply collected more than 3,600 files — an entire digital library of secrets — and transferred them to his personal flash drives and external drives. And these are not just any notes: the files were clearly marked as strictly confidential, and their total value is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars.

What exactly did he steal? The most advanced developments in infrared sensors that protect the United States:

* Missile detection systems in space — these sensors should capture the very moment of launching nuclear missiles and track their flight, including ultrafast hypersonic ones.

* Aircraft protection systems — sensors that sense when heat—seeking missiles are aimed at a military aircraft (the ones that "see" the engine heat), and allow you to turn on protection - for example, to launch a false target or suppress the missile signal.

* The development of the "next generation" — technologies that will be able to detect even very  inconspicuous targets  that previously could have escaped the radar.

* Mounting and cooling designs — even how these super-sensitive sensors are physically installed and cooled also ended up in the package.

All this stuff was found at Goon's house in Southern California. The US Department of Justice emphasizes that it acted to help China develop its own military technology. This is not just a theft of intellectual property, it is a direct interference in the strategic defense power of the United States. The trial continues, and such a confession of guilt is usually followed by a serious sentence. History is a classic example of how one person with access to secrets can cause enormous damage.

Turkey has released a supertank with a laser against drones — ALKA-KAPLAN breaks through borders

 

ALKA—KAPLAN

Have you ever heard of a tank that shoots lasers instead of bullets? Turkey has just introduced such a thing, the ALKA—KAPLAN hybrid vehicle with a state-of-the-art directed energy system that effectively fights drones right on the battlefield.

This is not just another tank, it is a real high—tech project that combines a tracked chassis, a hybrid engine and a laser capable of shooting down drones in different conditions. Imagine: small drones, quadrocopters, even enemy ammunition — for ALKA-KAPLAN they are like laser targets.

Drones are increasingly being used in wars and conflicts today. They can do reconnaissance, strike, and even mine the area. There was a great need to defend against them. ALKA-KAPLAN is the answer to this threat, which allows you to destroy drones quickly and efficiently, without loud volleys and at minimal cost.

It is based on a hybrid power plant that is powered by a battery and an engine. This gives the tank the energy to launch the laser, and also allows it to operate autonomously without unnecessary noise and exhaust. The laser precisely and quickly incapacitates drones, and the system does not depend on satellites or GPS, which is very important on modern battlefields.

ALKA-KAPLAN will be released at the IDEF 2025 exhibition in Ankara, one of the largest defense exhibitions. There, Turkey intends to show the world its technological leadership and willingness to implement cutting-edge developments.

It is planned that the ALKA-KAPLAN will enter service with the Turkish army in the next couple of years. In addition, this system may have foreign buyers, because such protection from drones will definitely be in demand today.

In general, if it used to seem that tanks were just armored vehicles with guns, now lasers and high technology are coming into play. And Turkey is clearly not going to lag behind. ALKA-KAPLAN is a bold step into the future of warfare, where the one with the best "electronic weapons" will win.

Northrop Grumman and the US Air Force have found a way out of the impasse with Sentinel missiles

Do you remember that big scandal surrounding the new American LGM-35A Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile? The project, which Northrop Grumman is engaged in, is literally stuck: the cost has skyrocketed, and deadlines are shifting, and work on the launch complexes had to be frozen. It was a real headache for both the company and the US Air Force.

But it seems that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The CEO of Northrop Grumman officially announced today: the company and the US Air Force have finally reached an agreement to restructure this entire problematic program. What does this mean in a simple language? They sat down at the negotiating table, reviewed their plans, perhaps redistributed money and risks, and now they have found a common language.

The most important thing is that work on the launch complexes has resumed. Workers can dig, concret, and build infrastructure for new rockets again. This is a huge step forward, because without ready-made silos, the Sentinel rocket itself will simply have nowhere to put it.

The program to replace the old Minuteman III missiles with modern Sentinels is a cornerstone in updating the American ground—based nuclear shield. The delays were critical, and the pressure on Northrop Grumman was enormous. Now, after this agreement, the project seems to be heading in the right direction again.

Northrop Grumman is testing space interceptors for the Golden Dome — the race for the contract is underway

The situation around the grandiose American program about the Golden Dome is heating up. Northrop Grumman said it has already begun ground tests of orbital interceptor missiles designed for this system. This is a serious step forward and a clear signal to competitors.: We're in the game, and we're not just drawing on paper anymore.

The Golden Dome program itself is an ambitious plan to create a multi—layered shield against missile threats, including sensors in space, interceptors and powerful control systems. The goal is to intercept ballistic and possibly hypersonic missiles at the earliest stages of flight, right in space. Northrop Grumman, as one of the key contractors, has already received a major contract for this program.

However, so far everything is not so simple. It turns out that the US military itself has not yet fully decided on exactly what characteristics these space interceptors should have. The requirements are still being clarified, which creates some uncertainty. That is why the competition between companies for the right to supply components for the Golden Dome is becoming especially heated. Everyone wants to take their place in this multibillion-dollar project until the rules of the game are finally fixed. It turns out that Northrop Grumman is already testing missiles, but the customer has not yet said exactly which missiles he needs. An interesting situation!

Russia has launched a "smart" V2U drone with AI and Chinese-American "internals"

 

A new attack drone has appeared in the Russian army — so far without an official name, but with a loud unofficial code V2U. He began to be noticed at the front back in February 2025, but everything really "exploded" only by June, when Ukrainian intelligence gathered enough data and officially declared: "They have something new, and it's serious."

What kind of beast is V2U? This is not just another kamikaze drone. It is an autonomous aircraft-type barrage munition with a wingspan of about 1.2 meters, weighing up to 15 kg and a warhead of up to 3.5 kg. It is launched from a catapult, flies at a speed of 60 km/ h and can stay in the air for up to an hour on an electric (40-60 km) or up to 100 km if a gasoline engine is installed.

But the most interesting thing is what's inside it.

There are movable optics in the nose: a 10x zoom camera (from Sony), lidar and a transparent fairing. Inside is a real computer based on a Leetop A603 board and an Nvidia Jetson Orin processor. Yes, yes, the very "iron brain" from the American Nvidia, which is often used in robots and autonomous systems. Plus, a 128 GB SSD and AI software, which, apparently, allows the drone to independently search, recognize and attack targets.

Imagine: a drone took off, entered the zone, scans the area, compares it with a map, sees a tank, an armored personnel carrier or a cluster of vehicles — and decides to strike itself. Moreover, he does not have to rely on GPS — he can navigate through the image from the camera, like a person from memory. This makes it resistant to interference and jamming.

Even cooler, it can work in a swarm, maneuver, avoid threats, and possibly coordinate attacks with other drones. And if there is a connection, the operator can intervene, but even without him, the car will not get lost.

Why is there so little talk about him?  

Because all the key components are imported. Cameras, processors, and boards— Chinese, Japanese, and American. That is, despite the sanctions, Russia has found a way to get high-tech parts. And, of course, he doesn't want to tell anyone where, how, or in what volumes.

There is no marking on the cases, the manufacturer is not advertised. This is clearly done in order not to reveal the supply chain and not to give intelligence agencies reasons to dig.

Right now, V2U is most likely undergoing military trials in limited quantities. But if it shows good results, it will be mass—produced. And then a new reality will appear at the front: drones that fly, think and strike by themselves.

It's not just the next generation of UAVs. This is a step towards autonomous warfare, where machines make decisions faster than a human can press a button. And while everyone is arguing about sanctions, someone is already teaching drones to hunt without orders.

UFOs are in the sky again: residents of the United States are massively filming strange objects, and social networks are exploding with discussions

 

While the media seems to have quieted down, the sky over the United States is once again becoming a playground for something strange. Residents are increasingly coming out with videos showing unidentified flying objects — and the further away, the more outlandish the footage.

For example, over Minneapolis, several people independently filmed the same moment: several unusual objects are hovering in the sky at once. They don't look like airplanes, drones, or weather balloons - they move smoothly, without noise, and sometimes abruptly change direction. And in one of the videos, there's actually something like a glowing plasma ball floating slowly across the sky over Rhode Island. Not a trace of smoke, not a sound. Just a glowing spot, as if from another dimension.

A year ago, in the fall, there was a real stir around such cases — senators spoke, the Pentagon released reports, and the media caught every leak. Now there is silence. But on social media, on the contrary, the discussion is only gaining momentum. People share videos, compare trajectories, and build theories ranging from "new military weapons" to "they're just not hiding anymore."

As always, there are no official comments. So, all that remains is to look up at the sky and wonder who or what flew there.

"Melting on the radar": a hydrogen drone soared to 12,000 feet and disappeared — how did it deceive tracking systems?

Imagine a drone that not only flies at a great height, but also literally disappears from radar. Does it sound like something from the future? And for the company Zepher Flight Labs (ZFL), this is already a reality. Their hydrogen drone Z1 has just completed a breakthrough test — it rose to 12,000 feet (that's almost 3.7 km!) and at the same time remained virtually invisible to radar systems.

What's the trick? Hydrogen. Instead of noisy and smoking engines, it uses a clean fuel cell that works silently and does not emit anything at all. No smoke, no exhaust. Just water. This makes the Z1 not only eco-friendly, but also damn hard to spot. Such a drone does not glow on the radar, does not heat up like a jet engine, and can circle for a long time where it is simply not expected.

Besides, the Z1 is a station wagon. It can be used for exploration, for delivering goods to hard—to-reach areas, and even for disaster relief, such as delivering medicines or communications after an earthquake. The designers have made it modular, so that the task can be changed — like batteries.

The company is already partnering with Mach Industries to produce drones domestically and not depend on external supplies. This is important not only for business, but also for defense, in an environment where every detail counts.

So the Z1 is not just another drone. This is a step into a new era of unmanned technologies, where cars fly high, quietly and remain "invisible" — until you hear the future fly by.

China is preparing a surprise: "smart" drones for fighter jets will be shown at the parade

China is clearly preparing a high—profile stunt for its next major military parade - and it's not about new tanks or missiles. This time, attention is focused on new drones, which can be a real breakthrough in aviation. According to satellite intelligence and analysts, mock—ups or even real samples of "loyal wingman" type drones are involved in the preparation for the march - the very ones that should fly in conjunction with manned fighters and make them many times more efficient.

What is a "loyal follower"?

Imagine a fifth-generation fighter, for example, the famous J—20 - fast, unobtrusive, powerful. Now imagine that one, two, or even three drones are flying behind him, which he fully controls. These drones can:

- Fly ahead and  scout the area, risking yourself instead of the pilot.  

- Carry additional missiles and expand the fighter's ammunition.  

- Create interference, distract enemy air defenses, or even attack targets autonomously — at the command of the pilot.  

Drones like "smart wings" or digital shadows. They are also called Loyal Wingman — "loyal wingman". This concept is being actively developed by the USA, Australia and other countries. And now China is entering the home stretch.

Commercial satellite images taken near the training ground where the parade rehearsals are taking place show several unidentified medium-sized UAVs. They are stored under canopies, but their outlines are recognizable: an elongated fuselage, a low—lying wing, hidden air intakes - all this indicates low visibility and high aerodynamics. Some experts compare them to the Australian MQ-28 Ghost Bat, but with the characteristic features of the Chinese design.

What is important is that there are no conventional launch systems next to them, like those of tactical drones. This means that they are most likely not just scouts, but full-fledged combat units designed to work as part of an air group.

Why would China do that?

The answer is simple: to seize the initiative in the air war of the future. Modern fighter jets are becoming too expensive and complex. But slave drones are cheaper, consumable, but at the same time very dangerous in mass. One pilot can control several of these machines, turning one aircraft into an entire combat network.

If China really shows these drones at the parade, it will be a serious signal to the world:

"We are not only copying, we are creating our own advanced systems. And we are ready for war in a new reality, where artificial intelligence and autonomy play a crucial role."

Chinese military parades are not just a show of force. This is a strategic show designed for an internal audience and external observers. Showing new weapons at such events is a way of saying:  

"Look, we have this."  

"And we can scale it." 

"Don't underestimate us."

If the "loyal slaves" appear in the ranks — even in the form of mockups — it will mean that the program is in the final stage of testing. Or perhaps she has already passed the first flight tests with the J-20 or other fighters.

China is no longer just a "player" in the military technology race — it is becoming a leader in some areas. And if everyone used to look at the F-35 and Skyborg, now they will have to study closely what Chengdu and its partners are doing.  

The future of air warfare is in human + drone bundles.  

And, apparently, China is already there.

"Dragon Lady" went public: the United States showed a top-secret U-2 spy plane at an airshow in Britain

U-2

Imagine: an airplane created back in the 1950s, during the Cold War era, and it is still at the cutting edge of technology. This is, of course, about the legendary Lockheed U-2, nicknamed the "Dragon Lady". And so, in a rare gesture of openness, the US Air Force decided to show it to the world — at the Royal International Airshow (RIAT) 2025 at the British Fairford Air Base.

This event is not just a beautiful flight of an old man in front of an audience. It's a huge symbol. Showing the U-2 on an international stage is an almost unprecedented thing. Usually this plane is kept under seven locks: it flies at an altitude of almost 21 kilometers — above the clouds, above most rockets, almost like a satellite. His job is to spy. More precisely, to collect intelligence in a way that other systems simply cannot repeat.

At RIAT 2025, the U-2 didn't just stand in a static parking lot — it became one of the main stars of the show. Both tourists and serious people were attracted to him: military analysts, generals, engineers of defense concerns, representatives of NATO. Everyone understands that if the Americans decide to show such a secret, it means they want to convey a message.

Why is this important?

Because the U-2 is not a museum exhibit, but a living, combat instrument. Yes, it is already more than 70 years old, but during this time it has been upgraded hundreds of times. Today, it is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic intelligence systems, high-resolution optics, signal interception devices, and can even work in conjunction with drones and satellites. It is especially valuable where satellites can't cope — for example, when constantly monitoring hot spots or when you need to quickly retarget.

And now, when tensions are rising again in the world — from Ukraine to Taiwan — intelligence is becoming scarce. And the U-2 can do things that many new systems can't: stay on the edge of space, avoid being vulnerable to air defenses, and spend hours peering at details on the ground.

What is the "message" of the USA?

By showing the U-2 at RIAT, the Americans are telling their allies:

"We are still in the lead. We have technologies that have been working for decades, but still remain relevant. And we are ready to share this trust, even if only a little, with our partners."

But it's different for potential opponents.:  

"Yes, you know that we fly. But you still can't reach us."

Interesting details

- The aircraft was painted in a special "black" scheme, typical for operations at night or hidden conditions.

- There are modern antennas and receivers on board, revealing its role in electronic intelligence.

- The U-2 crew went through full training before flying to Europe, including safety briefings and protocols for interaction with the British authorities.

Despite plans to replace the U-2 with drones and satellites, the US Air Force is extending its service until the 2030s. Because there are simply no analogues. Neither Global Hawk nor other platforms can fully replicate its capabilities yet.

So while the world thinks that drones are the future, the Dragon Lady continues to soar above the clouds — still lonely, still scary, and still needed.

The Czech Republic threatened France: "Either fix the Caesars, or we won't pay!"

 

Military-technical relations between the Czech Republic and France have sharply cooled — Prague has officially threatened to suspend payments to the French-German defense company KNDS, which is to supply the Czech Republic with 62 modern Caesar 8x8 self-propelled howitzers. The reason? These Caesars, one after the other, fail critical checks and generally behave like moody sports cars: they look cool, but they break down at the most inopportune moment.

The Czech Ministry of Defense is no longer just unhappy, it is seriously concerned. The chief weapons officer, Lubor Koudelka, sent an official letter to KNDS with a harsh ultimatum: "Deal with the problems, and quickly." The document clearly states that until the howitzers are ready for military trials, the money will not flow further.

What's wrong with these guns? According to media reports and sources in the army, we are talking about several serious shoals.:

- Problems with chassis reliability, especially off—road. The car must be mobile, but it gets stuck or stalls.

- Violations in the operation of the guidance and fire control system — and this is critical for the accuracy of shooting.

- Notes on crew protection and tightness of compartments — especially important in conditions of possible use of weapons of mass destruction.

- Delays in the delivery of spare parts and technical documentation.

This is especially disappointing because the Czech Republic was counting on Caesar as the basis of new artillery power. These howitzers are wheeled, deploy quickly, can fire at 40+ km, and are ideal for mobile warfare. The contract was signed on a large scale: almost 1.5 billion euros, one of the largest in the history of the Czech military—industrial complex. And now everything can go downhill.

KNDS, by the way, is a joint structure where the French Nexter and the German Krauss-Maffei Wegmann work together. But the responsibility for Caesar lies mainly with the French. And they, to put it mildly, do not have the best record in terms of the timing and quality of supplies of such equipment. The same thing happened, for example, in other countries — Belgium and Denmark, which also complained about delays.

Now the Czech Republic demands: either to urgently refine the systems, or to postpone the deadlines, or — the worst option — to terminate the contract. Although the latter is unlikely: there are not many alternatives to Caesar on the market right now, and there is less and less time left before a complete rearmament.

KNDS has already stated that it is working to eliminate the comments. But the Czechs are running out of patience. If the vehicles do not pass full—fledged tests with the participation of combat crews by the end of the year, payments can be frozen and even fines can be expected.

Simply put: France has received a warning. It's not that the Czech Republic wants to give up the Caesars — it really wants them. But only if they work. In the meantime, get comments, get corrected, and don't forget about deadlines.

Is B61 in England? US planes have flown across the Atlantic — and everything points to the return of nuclear bombs

There are serious signs that nuclear bombs may be stored at one of the American air bases in England again. We are talking about the Lakenheath base, a key point of the US Air Force in Europe. And although neither the Pentagon nor the British government directly confirm this (officially they rarely say anything about nuclear weapons at all), indirect signals are now through the roof.

The main reason for the talks is a series of recent transatlantic flights of C—17 and C-5 Galaxy heavy transporters. These planes are not just loaders: they are often used to transport highly sensitive and classified cargo, including nuclear weapon components. Analysts and arms control experts have tracked several such flights from the United States to the United Kingdom in recent weeks. The route, the time, and even the nature of the loading all match the typical delivery pattern of B61 bombs.

And what is B61? This is an American tactical nuclear bomb that can be mounted on fighter-bombers, such as the F-15E or future F-35. She participates in the NATO nuclear deterrence program.: The United States stores such bombs at allied bases (including in Germany, Italy, Turkey, and possibly Belgium and the Netherlands), and in the event of a crisis, it transfers them to local pilots for use. This is called nuclear delegation, a powerful political gesture that shows the unity of the alliance.

Why now? Most likely, this is due to the situation in Europe. After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, NATO increased its combat readiness, including the modernization of the nuclear component. The old B61s are being replaced by new, more accurate and safer versions — the B61-12, with an adjustable charge and guidance system. They were most likely the ones who began to be transferred to Europe.

Lakenheath has long had special storage facilities for nuclear weapons, the so—called WS3 (Weapons Storage and Security System). They are securely protected, camouflaged, and guarded around the clock. If the bombs have really arrived, they are already there, deep underground.

Officially, the United States never confirms the presence of nuclear weapons abroad. This is part of the strategy of "ambivalence" — so that opponents know that the threat is real, but they cannot say exactly where and how much. But everyone who follows such things is now sure that the B61s have returned to the UK — if, of course, they ever completely left.

Do not think that the Third World War will begin tomorrow. But the signal is loud: the United States and NATO are showing determination. Especially in an environment where Russia has repeatedly made nuclear threats. Such movements are part of the psychological pressure, a reminder: "We are ready for anything."

So while civilians in Suffolk County are walking their dogs, some of the scariest bombs on the planet may be lying underground.

China has revealed an "iron man" for drones — an exoskeleton for soldiers of the future

The Chinese company Kestrel Defense has announced a cool thing — a new exoskeleton for soldiers who control drones and other advanced systems. The photo from social networks shows a fighter in an almost fantastic costume standing in position, ready to launch and control small drones.

This exoskeleton is not about super strength, but about endurance. It is designed specifically for those who spend hours sitting or kneeling, controlling UAVs, correcting artillery fire or collecting intelligence. Such tasks require stability and concentration, and an ordinary person quickly gets tired in an uncomfortable position. And here the joints in the legs and arms help: the suit takes on part of the load, holds the pose, not allowing the muscles to contract.

Imagine: an operator can sit quietly on a rock or stand in one place for half an hour without trembling or getting tired. This is critical when the success of a mission depends on accuracy. This is especially true for scouts and gunners who work in the field for several days.

It's not an Iron Man with jetpacks yet, but it's a very serious step. China is clearly betting on "smart" soldiers in "smart" suits — and soon such exoskeletons may become the norm on the battlefield.

Israel launched tanks in Deir el-Balah for the first time - what does this mean for the war in Gaza?

For the first time since the beginning of the war, Israeli tanks drove directly into the city of Deir el-Balah in the southern Gaza Strip. This is a serious signal: the ground operation has reached a new level. The Golani Brigade is behind this movement, one of the most experienced in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and it is now actively conducting exercises and offensive operations in the area.

Before the infantry and armor moved forward, powerful airstrikes and artillery fire swept through the city. The classic scheme: first we "clear" the way from above, destroy fortifications, minefields and possible ambushes, and then we go ourselves. This way they reduce the risks for their soldiers, especially when they have to climb into the city — every house there can be a trap.

The fact that tanks entered Deir el-Balah is not just a tactic, but a clear step towards larger-scale street fighting. Previously, the main actions were conducted in the northern part of Gaza, but now the focus has shifted to the south. And this suggests that Israel continues to put pressure, expanding the zone of control and, most likely, trying to dislodge the last pockets of resistance.

What's next? It all depends on how the militants respond. If the resistance is tough, there may be heavy fighting in the city. If not— the IDF will gain a foothold and possibly begin the next stage of the operation. One thing is clear: the war in Gaza is entering a new phase, and tanks are no longer needed in the narrow streets.

European MBDA Develops New Attack UAV: Simplicity and Mass Character are the Key to Success

The European company MBDA is developing a promising unmanned aerial vehicle called One Way Effector. The goal of the project is to create the simplest and cheapest UAV that could be mass—produced and used in combat conditions. This approach promises new opportunities and advantages.

The course of simplification

MBDA recently presented its new project at the Paris International Air Show. They revealed its goals and features, and also showed an advertising image demonstrating the group use of these UAVs.

The One Way Effector project is being created by order of the French armed forces, who were impressed by the Russian massive strikes using the Geranium series UAVs. Last year, the French military conveyed its wishes to MBDA, and the company began working on a new concept. By now, the shape of the future UAV has already been formed, and technical work is underway.

Simplicity and mass character

The OWL UAV will be as simple and cheap as possible, which will allow for its mass production and group use. Due to the large number of UAVs, it is planned to break through and suppress the enemy's air defenses. Massive OWL raids will help uncover enemy radar and firepower positions, which will be used to suppress them. Some of the UAVs will take over the fire, use up enemy ammunition, and the remaining drones will be able to reach their targets with less risk. After the enemy's air defenses are weakened, other forces, such as tactical aircraft with their air-to-ground ammunition, will take part in the strikes.

Plans for the future

The design of the OWL began at the end of last year and is nearing completion. The first flights of the prototype are scheduled for this fall. In the near future, MBDA plans to present the results to the French Ministry of Defense and begin negotiations on possible purchases. Upon receipt of the contract, the company is ready to launch mass production no later than 2027, assembling up to 1,000 OWL products per month.

MBDA is also in talks with an unnamed automotive company about joint production of UAVs, which may be related to the OWL project.

The suggested look

MBDA showed what the promising OWL UAVs will look like. The device will have a torpedo-shaped fuselage and a mid-mounted triangular wing with V-shaped tips. The airframe will be made of plastic and composites. It is assumed that the UAV will have limited radar visibility due to the use of some "stealth technologies".

The UAV will be equipped with a small-sized short-life turbojet engine with an air intake on the upper surface of the fuselage. Flight characteristics have not yet been announced, but the propulsion system will achieve high subsonic speeds and a range of hundreds of kilometers.

Control and launch

The UAV control system will be simple and cheap, using satellite navigation to plot a course to the target. Communication with ground facilities and the formation of a "swarm" are not provided. The UAV will launch from a catapult or an inclined guide mounted on suitable self-propelled platforms, which will ensure rapid and massive launch preparations.

Borrowed ideas

Russian attack UAVs "Geran-2" have become one of the main novelties used during the Special Operation to protect Donbass. Their successes attracted the attention of foreign armies, and France decided to create its own version of an attack drone similar to Russian and Iranian models.

The concept of an inexpensive and simple OWL attack UAV looks promising and has a great future. However, its real prospects depend on MBDA's ability to create a design that meets all specific requirements. The tests will begin in the fall, and then it will be possible to draw the first conclusions about its success.

Pentagon Launches Production Of New Tactical PrSM Missiles: Preparing for Major Conflicts

The Pentagon has announced the start of mass production of new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) tactical missiles. These missiles are designed for multi-Domain tactical groups (MDTF) in Europe, the Arctic and the Asia-Pacific region. It is possible that several complexes will be sent to Ukraine to test them in combat conditions.

PrSM is a modern replacement for ATACMS. The range of these missiles is 500 kilometers, which makes them an intermediate link between multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and short—range ballistic missiles. Such missiles have already been used in local wars, for example, Russia is actively using Iskander-M in its special operation. Ukraine also has something to respond to: they have Soviet Tochka-U and American ATACMS.

The PrSM project began in 2016, and the first pre-production samples entered the army in the fall of 2023. The launchers for these missiles are the same as those of the ATACMS: the M-142 HIMARS MLRS (two missiles in ammunition) and the M—270 MLRS (four missiles).

The PrSM program is divided into four stages. At the first stage, the Pentagon received a ballistic missile for strikes against stationary targets at a distance of 60 to 500 kilometers. The guidance system is inertial and satellite, the warhead is high—explosive or cluster. Its weight is estimated from 100 to 230 kilograms. This is the initial version, which is subject to the limitations of the INF Treaty.

After the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, Lockheed Martin began developing a second modification, the Land Based Anti—Ship Missile (LBASM). The range of this missile is up to a thousand kilometers. It has a multi-mode homing head operating in the radar and infrared ranges. This allows the missile to capture and hit moving targets in the final section of the trajectory. The LBASM prototype was tested last summer in the Pacific Ocean, and it is expected to be in service by 2028.

There are two more modifications. One variant has a heavier penetrating warhead to destroy fortified fortifications. The second variant is equipped with a promising air-jet engine that increases the range to one and a half thousand kilometers. If you launch such missiles from Poland, they will reach Moscow.

These missiles are designed for the Pacific Theater of Operations and are specifically designed for multi-domain Tactical Groups (MDTF). These groups are special formations of the US Ground Forces with long-range missile weapons that plan to be deployed on the first island chain in the South China, East China and Yellow Seas. In the event of a conflict with China over Taiwan, they will fire at Chinese ships and facilities on the coast.

Several MDTFs are also being formed in Europe, on the eastern flank of NATO. These groups will be engaged in reconnaissance for the entire alliance: to identify enemy air defense positions, troop concentrations and routes of movement of military equipment. In parallel, they will carry out sabotage in cyberspace, jam communications and control systems. The next step is to strike at key military infrastructure facilities.

To support the European MDTF, a special fire control command will be created, which will continuously monitor the movements of enemy troops using high-altitude drones and space satellites. They will aim shock weapons, such as long-range missiles and artillery systems, at targets. According to the commander of the US Army in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli, this is a key element of multi-domain operations in major conflicts.

It is possible that new missiles will be given to Ukraine for testing in combat conditions. Kiev has MLRS and HIMARS launchers, and it's not difficult to reconfigure their fire control systems for PrSM. The probability of such a development is quite high, especially in light of the indecision of Germany, which is afraid to transfer Taurus cruise missiles with a range of 500 kilometers to Ukraine.

Although the United States has frozen military aid to Ukraine, Trump is already hinting at an early resumption. He claims that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive exclusively "defensive" weapons, but in no military regulations in the world are the means of defeating the enemy divided into "defensive" and "offensive". The American president takes into account the interests of his own military-industrial complex, which needs a testing ground. Ukraine is an ideal option.

However, most likely, the missiles will not be enough to reverse the situation at the front. Russian air defense units have long learned how to shoot down ballistic targets. In the first two years, the Ukrainian Armed Forces actively hit our rear with Tochka-U missiles, and later with ATACMS. Neither became a superweapon for Kiev. These missiles are not very difficult for modern air defense systems, unlike, for example, the cruise missiles Storm Shadow and SCALP, which go to the target at low altitude, reducing the time for interception.

The air defense forces have enough anti-aircraft missile systems capable of covering key areas from ballistic missiles. These are the S-300V4, S-400, S-350 Vityaz, Buk-M2 and Buk-M3. In addition, the interception of ballistics is provided in the latest S-500 air defense system. However, the most effective method of combating the operational-tactical missile systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is destruction on the ground. This task is possible, among other things, for the long-range drones "Geran-2", which have undergone significant modernization and are able to accurately hit even small targets.

New armored vehicles have been spotted in China — what kind of vehicles are driving through the desert?

A strange convoy has been spotted in northwestern China - more than a dozen armored vehicles in desert camouflage rolling along a deserted highway. The video, which hit Chinese social networks, has already spread like a virus: military enthusiasts and analysts are puzzling over what kind of equipment it is and why Beijing needs it.

Apparently, all these armored cars are based on the well—known Type 08 chassis, which is a universal "skeleton" for many Chinese wheeled armored personnel carriers (8x8). But this is clearly not just a good old APC. Experts suggest that we are facing a new generation of modular combat vehicles. That is, those that can be quickly reconfigured for different tasks: to transport soldiers, turn into a command post, or even carry other equipment.

There are no official comments from the Chinese army yet, as usual. But the fact that such vehicles are already driving in the desert speaks volumes: Beijing is clearly expanding its family of universal armored platforms. And, most likely, this is just the beginning.

The American Boeing RC-135V Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft is again "rummaging" near Kaliningrad — its call sign is JAKE17

 

A well—known guest has been spotted again in the skies over the Baltic Sea and near the borders of the Kaliningrad Region - an American Boeing RC-135V Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft with the call sign JAKE17. This aircraft has been familiar with Russian radars for a long time and regularly "walks" along the borders, collecting data.

The aircraft is based at the NATO Mildenhall Airbase in the UK, from where most of its missions start. And although he officially flies in the airspace of NATO countries, his route often passes so close to the Russian borders that it causes increased attention.

What kind of aircraft is the RC-135V Rivet Joint?

This is a flying reconnaissance station of the latest generation. Designed for electronic listening and signal collection. Simply put, a spy in the sky. Powerful antennas and equipment capable of:

- intercept radio communications,

- scan enemy radars,

- determine the types of emitted signals,

- track the movement of troops and equipment by radioactivity.

Kaliningrad region is an enclave of Russia in the middle of Europe, and at the same time a key strategic hub. Powerful air defense forces, aviation, the Baltic Fleet, and even Iskander-M missile systems are stationed there. It is not surprising that American intelligence is so fond of "looking in" here.

Previously, JAKE17 was repeatedly spotted in these latitudes, especially during tense periods when NATO is strengthening control over Russian activities. Such flights are part of the regular practice of the United States and its allies to collect information.

The RC-135V with the call sign JAKE17 is not just an aircraft, but one of the key players in modern aerial reconnaissance. His appearance in Kaliningrad is a signal that the West is closely monitoring the situation in the region and is ready to respond to any changes.

China Is Testing Combat Ekranoplanes: New Opportunities for Military Might

China is not asleep and is actively testing new combat ekranoplanes. These vehicles can be a real trump card in their military strategy, especially in regions with many islands. China already has experience in creating ekranoplanes for rescue operations and inter—island transportation, but now they are going further - they are developing combat versions.

Photos posted online show a new Chinese aircraft in Bohaiwan Bay. Experts are arguing what it is: a seaplane or an ekranoplane. Most people are inclined to believe that this is an ekranoplane. It is painted gray, which hints at a military purpose. The device has a T-shaped tail with two vertical stabilizers and four jet engines on the wings. The wings have roll-resistant floats and V-shaped keels.

China has been working on ekranoplanes for a long time. In 2023, they presented a prototype for rescue operations in the South China Sea. The new device is still unnamed, but it has already been nicknamed the "Boho Monster".

An ekranoplane is a cross between a ship and an airplane. It moves above the surface, supported by an air cushion created by interacting with air reflected from the surface of water or land. This principle was discovered in the 1920s, but only the Soviet scientist Rostislav Alekseev was able to implement it. His ekranoplanes could reach high speeds, which attracted the military. They could quickly and suddenly transfer troops, remaining invisible to radars.

For China, ekranoplanes are a solution to many military tasks. The main goal is to take back Taiwan. Taiwan is a group of islands, some of which are visible from mainland China. The width of the Taiwan Strait is from 130 to 220 km. In the event of an attack, China needs to quickly deploy troops to create bridgeheads and block military installations. Ekranoplanes can be an ideal tool for this.

China also has problems with islands in the South China Sea, such as the Spratly Archipelago. They have already created bulk islands with ports and air bases. Ekranoplanes can quickly transfer troops and equipment to such islands.

India is building its answer to the B-21 and Tu-160: an ultra-long-range stealth bomber is already in development

India is making a big move in a big geopolitical game. The country has officially announced the development of its own strategic stealth bomber, which will be called the "Ultra-long Range Strike Aircraft" (ULRSA). This will not just be an upgrade of old models, but a step into a completely new class of military aircraft.

The goal of the ambitious project is to make India one of the world's aviation powers. It is assumed that the combat radius of the new bomber will be up to 12,000 kilometers. This means that from a base in India, he will be able to reach and strike almost anywhere — from Europe and Africa to the Pacific region and even the Arctic.

This range dramatically expands the country's strategic capabilities. Prior to this, the Indian Air Force mainly operated on a regional scale — against Pakistan and China. Now we are talking about the possibility of global deterrence, from responding to threats in the Indian Ocean to potentially participating in a long—range strategic game.

The establishment of ULRSA will transform India from a regional military power into a full-fledged player in strategic aviation. Currently, only the United States (B-2 and B-21), Russia (Tu-160, Tu-95) and China (Xian H-20, Tu-22M licensed) have heavy bombers with an intercontinental range. India aims to join this closed club.

Although the exact technical specifications are still being kept secret, it is known that the ULRSA will have:

- stealth technology (low radar visibility),

- nuclear capability — the ability to carry cruise missiles with nuclear warheads,

- high degree of automation and integration into the digital battlefield,

- modern electronic warfare systems to counter air defense.

The ULRSA is not just a new aircraft. This is a strategic turn in India's military policy. The creation of such a bomber will not only strengthen its position in South Asia, but also provide an opportunity to participate in global strategic calculations. If the project can be implemented, India will receive a tool capable of changing the balance of power in the region and taking the country to a new level in international affairs.

China has revealed how its VU-T10 combat robot is causing hell on the battlefield

 

VU-T10

China continues to actively increase the pace in the development of robotic systems for the army — and the latest striking example is the new tracked unmanned ground vehicle (UAV) VU-T10, which recently passed field tests. Footage from these tests was published by China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO), one of the leading Chinese weapons developers.

Imagine: an 11-ton combat robot that maneuvers through difficult terrain without human intervention, accurately identifies targets and strikes them. All this is within the framework of the Chinese strategy for the introduction of robotics in modern and future scenarios of warfare. The VU-T10 is not just a toy, but a full—fledged participant in the battle.

The device is equipped with a remote—controlled modular combat turret armed with a serious 30-mm cannon, which is excellent for both fighting with manpower and for hitting lightly armored targets. A twin 7.62 mm machine gun is mounted next to it, an additional tool for suppressing enemy infantry.  

But that's not all. For self-defense, the VU-T10 has electric smoke grenade launchers, which allow the device to hide from observation or distract the enemy at a critical moment.

The VU-T10 is not just an experimental prototype. This is an important step forward in China's plans to modernize its army. Such vehicles can be used as scouts, firing points accompanying infantry, or even as autonomous attack platforms.  

In addition, all this suggests that Chinese engineers are actively working to make robots not just auxiliary tools, but full—fledged participants in combat operations - without risking the lives of soldiers.

The VU-T10 is a prime example of how rapidly military robotics is developing in China. And if such devices begin to en masse to the troops, it can seriously change the face of modern combat.

China is testing a new SH16 self-propelled howitzer with a robotic turret and record-breaking range shooting

SH16

The Chinese army has begun field trials of the new 155-mm SH16 self-propelled howitzer, which has already attracted the attention of military analysts as one of the most advanced artillery systems of the new generation. Information about the howitzer has been kept secret for a long time, but recent photos and publications on Chinese social networks have confirmed its active testing.

The SH16 is built on a tracked chassis with a total weight of about 32 tons. The main advantage of the system is a fully robotic modular turret weighing less than 14 tons, which significantly reduces the crew to two people: a driver and a gunner/commander. This became possible thanks to the introduction of automated loading and modern fire control systems, which increases the rate of fire and effectiveness of combat use.

The howitzer is equipped with a 52-caliber (155 mm × 52) long barrel, which significantly increases the initial velocity of the projectile and, consequently, the firing range. According to the data, the maximum range reaches 53-56 kilometers with the use of ERFB-BB active-rocket projectiles and up to 100 kilometers with the use of specialized precision—guided munitions - this makes the SH16 comparable in range with the world's best analogues.

The high level of automation allowed not only to reduce the number of crew, but also to increase the speed of deployment and position change. To stabilize the howitzer when firing in a combat position, special recoil-compensating frames are installed. The tower is equipped with its own radar station for measuring ballistic data and an optical system for direct fire.

Additionally, the SH16 can be equipped with a remote-controlled machine gun module for protection against infantry and smoke camouflage. In the spring of 2025, this system is expected to be demonstrated at the military parade of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on September 3, which will confirm its status as the main artillery innovation of the PLA.

The SH16 is designed to replace outdated models and enhance the combat capability of the Chinese ground forces. The increased firing range and high level of digital integration will make it possible to effectively suppress well-concealed targets, carry out pinpoint strikes from a long distance and quickly maneuver on the battlefield.

Special attention is paid to combining the system with modern means of communication and fire control within an integrated network, which makes the SH16 part of the digital army of the future.

The adoption of the SH16 by 2027 will significantly enhance the artillery capabilities of the People's Liberation Army of China. The combination of high firepower, precision, automation and mobility will make this howitzer a serious challenge in the global artillery market.

Australia Showed Its Teeth: NASAMS System Passed The Fire Test

Australia did not let itself be offended at the latest Talisman Sabre 2025 exercises, which took place from July 13 to August 4. They demonstrated their cool air defense system, NASAMS. This system, as it turned out, can shoot down almost anything that flies.: from airplanes to missiles, and at altitudes up to 15 kilometers. Its AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles are known for their precision, and they really don't miss.

NASAMS is already in service with the Australian forces, where it is served by the 16th Regiment of the Royal Artillery at Woodside Base. They have two such batteries that guard against anything that can come from the sky, from combat aircraft to drones and missiles.

At the Talisman Sabre 2025 exercises, the system proved itself one hundred percent. It worked successfully in real conditions, when the Australians trained together with the Americans and other allies. The exercises brought together more than 35,000 soldiers from 19 countries, which became a record event in the history of Australia. This highlights how important it is to work together now, especially on security and defense issues.

The successful launch of the AIM-120 AMRAAM from the NASAMS ground installation during the exercises showed that Australia is serious about protecting its skies. It has also strengthened its position as an important partner in the Indo-Pacific region.

The US Army wants to replace the M240 machine guns with something new and stronger

The American army is thinking about changing one of its main machine guns, the M240, which has been serving in the military for a long time. The reason is easy to understand: the military needs a machine gun with better range and ballistics in order to more effectively support infantry on the battlefield.

This machine gun fires 7.62 x 51 mm cartridges, and although it is reliable, it is outdated in terms of performance. Especially in comparison with modern threats and new combat missions. Therefore, the military is looking for a replacement.

Several options are being considered at once.:

- .338 Norma Magnum (8.6x64 mm) is a more powerful and long—range cartridge. Earlier, the army was already interested in machine guns for him.

- 6.8x51 mm — the same caliber used in the new M7 rifles and M250 machine guns is already being introduced into the military.

- The Unified Machine Gun of the Future (FMMG) is a new project that has just begun to be discussed. Its creation is included in the budget for fiscal year 2026, but it is not yet known exactly how much money will be allocated.

This machine gun is supposed to replace the M240 in close Combat units (Close Combat Force) — it includes not only regular infantrymen, but also intelligence officers, medics, engineers, special forces and other elite units.

The main goal of the FMMG is to effectively suppress and destroy the enemy in order to maintain a high tempo of combat operations. However, the exact requirements for the weapon have not yet been disclosed: what should be the weight, range, type of cartridge, and so on.

An important point is that the transition to a new caliber requires an established production of cartridges. The United States is already planning to produce millions of 6.8 mm cartridges per year. According to the plans, the new plant should be launched by 2028.

The American army is preparing for a major modernization of small arms. The M240 can be replaced either with something with a more powerful cartridge, or with a completely new FMMG machine gun. Everything is still under development, but one thing is already clear — the standard 7.62 mm machine gun is gradually becoming a thing of the past.

The Medium tells: The Architect of World Upheavals - The Secrets of Liechtenstein and the Time Matrix

Everything happening in the world today—wars, local conflicts, genuine genocide of peoples, epidemics, droughts, floods, natural catastrophes—all of this resembles the prelude to the biblical "end times." The world is literally boiling in a cauldron.

Many of us no longer just suspect, but are certain, that all these wars have an entirely artificial, provoked, and provocative, managed character. We are literally observing what someone at the top of the power pyramid has "invented," controlling these flows.

Usually, to refer to the powerful of this world, a collective name is used—globalists, Anglo-Saxons, Rothschilds, Rockefellers (they are also the Jewish lobby), etc., that is, these are some known forces, scattered in different parts of the world. Their voices are particularly loud from London, Washington, Tel Aviv, etc. These are globalists of various stripes and levels of hierarchy who indeed spin the flow, the whirlpool of psychogenic and destructive events in order to control the world—control over resources (human, natural, including hydrocarbons, energy, water), and correspondingly—to influence all global processes.

In the background, I had the feeling that there is something higher, above the processes, some other figure. Someone who does not sound and is not heard, who creates and directs this flow. Someone who "infuses meanings" that are very far from tactical or understandable to everyone. Someone who stands ABOVE, at the top of the pyramid. The Architect, the Master of the Game. And it's not clear what these meanings are.

And from time to time, a logical question arose. If the foundation lies with the "Englishwoman" (who messes things up) or Israel—why is the former (England) turning into a migrant brothel, where they humiliate and rape native Englishmen, and the latter are in a state of non-stop terror, so that they have to "close with a dome"?

It came to me that there are no real "owners" there. This is just a "ward" for the command staff.

I never wrote about this on the channel because all of this feels strange and not quite clear, who it is or what it is. But for a rather long time, I saw an image of a man of strange age in a room with very high ceilings against the backdrop of Alpine nature (by feeling, this man is literally ancient, but fit, lean, and outwardly youthful, something like Count St. Germain) and a beautiful woman of Slavic appearance in a red dress next to him. It was absolutely unclear who this was and what this image meant—a man and this (Russian) woman in modern clothing and strange medieval interiors.

But at one point, the image stood out very vividly, as if alive, when the question of who is the one who creates the Game project and where he is physically arose again.

What kind of Architectural Bureau is this? It came as an understanding, not as a thought, but as a depth, as an inverted pyramid, where the foundation is TIME, as that which forms, twists this reality, matrix, if you will, and there is someone who knows how to control it. And to control this game that we call our LIFE. And time is the key.

And from this person, I saw connections, a huge number of connections. Maximally dense—on Russia (?, why so dense specifically on us, I personally am very interested to understand), very dense on Germany (also a question), on England, the USA and Israel, on Africa, very dense on Australia and New Zealand, on the poles. It's like some kind of octopus. There are other people next to him, but this figure is felt as the leading one.

And the energy from him is such that it is not felt from a living person, from this figure comes an inner cold. This is how the deceased are felt. And the information comes that this is not a surname known to everyone, this is someone standing above all the loud surnames.

Above those whom the whole world considers "shadow owners," above the managing presidents of countries and heads of various organizations of the most diverse nations, famous funds, and other EU commissions. All of them are managers, administrators.

And the point where this person is located was felt as if in Switzerland, but the answer to the question "Is it Switzerland?" was negative.

And later, it came as an enlightenment that this is the Principality of Liechtenstein. It is not Switzerland, but precisely there. A place that, as if, is removed from all the "torn" energy, from conflicts, battles, and upheavals, but at the same time is connected with them.

And this is a remarkable place where there are absolutely no dirty productions, "channeled" migrants, crime, LGBT tolerance, social tension, and products from "high-value" insect and worm protein.

In this country, it is practically impossible to obtain a residence permit, but you can enjoy the cleanest air, food, and water, and the best medicine and education in the world. And there are absolutely no news about this tiny principality in the information space, a small and absolutely inconspicuous place. It is as if it is not in this reality. Far away, in silence.

Although when viewed, Liechtenstein feels dense, energy-intensive, multi-layered. Externally, it is as if it does not exist. Closed. Like a looking glass, and it seems so.

Who is this person and his (Russian?) beautiful woman. Some strange figure without age, and she is absolutely unclear at the moment.

It also came that the Large Hadron Collider is a facility that does not just research the smallest particles of matter, but is mainly engaged in tasks of refracting and changing time. And it is no coincidence that such a high-tech facility is within walking distance of this figure without age.

And judging by everything, the tension in the world is growing also because 2030 is some kind of transition point (and it must be marked by some astrological event—perhaps people who professionally engage in astrology will prompt). A point on which it is impossible to influence artificially. And the force or forces that have shaped this game exactly as it is, are trying to restart the spring (with the help of the LHC) so that everything goes not in the direction of the laid evolutionary development (human potential, consciousness), but on a new, managed by them turn—Issynthetic consciousness, control over resources, expensive hydrocarbons instead of free ether, total control, and new wars managed by AI.

The risk of not restarting the spring of the old scenario and exiting into a new matrix of consciousness seems to be very high. Time is somehow changing, perception, consciousness in people is also opening up, people begin to notice what was beyond the scope of comprehension, this changes and times. For those at the top, it is very important to leave everything as it is. The stakes are high. That's why a real war is unfolding.

A new Ukrainian kamikaze drone with mines instead of wheels impresses with an innovative solution

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have presented fresh photos of a new land-based kamikaze drone, which stands out for its unusual design and creative use of Soviet TM-62 anti-tank mines. This drone combines several functions in one at once — it uses mines both as propellers and as a warhead, which makes it unique against the background of existing developments.

The main feature of the device is that instead of standard wheels, TM—62 anti-tank mines are installed on the drone, which simultaneously serve as both a propulsion component and a warhead. This unconventional idea allows you to achieve a double effect: the drone not only moves around the battlefield, but can also explode at the right moment, causing damage to the enemy.

From the front, the drone is equipped with a pair of motor wheels borrowed from an electric bike. These motor wheels provide the main drive and transmit the movement to the mine "hoops". Steering seems to be missing: the rear wheel is fixed in a fixed position with two springs that allow it to be held straight and ensure stable movement in a straight line.

Tactical advantages

- Simplicity and cost-effectiveness: The use of outdated mines and spare parts from electric bicycles simplifies production and reduces production costs.

 Surprise and effectiveness: Such a drone can creep up to enemy vehicles or manpower unnoticed and explode, causing significant damage.

- Mobility: Despite the lack of steering, the drone is able to move efficiently in a straight trajectory, which is suitable for some tactical scenarios.

Possible limitations

- The lack of steering limits maneuverability and requires precise pre-positioning before launch.

- Using a mine as the main propulsion can affect the stability of movement and limit speed.

- The features of the application make it vulnerable to active countermeasures, such as radio suppression or small arms fire.

The Ukrainian land-based kamikaze drone with TM-62 mines is another example of engineering creativity and adaptation of available resources to effectively counter the enemy. Its non-standard design and technical solutions make it interesting to study and, possibly, further improve.

The North Korean submarine "Hero Kim Kun Ok" with ballistic missiles has not yet been commissioned

North Korea's first diesel-electric submarine with ballistic missiles (SSB), Ship No. 841, named the Hero Kim Kun Ok, is not yet ready for operation. She was launched relatively recently, in September 2023, but satellite images of recent weeks show that her technical conversion and preparation for service are still ongoing.

The submarine was originally built as a Type 003 diesel-electric attack submarine, but in the process of retrofitting it received ballistic missiles, which significantly increases its strategic importance. Despite Pyongyang's ambitious plans, the ship has not yet set sail for a long time and has not conducted full-fledged sea trials, which indicates continuing technical and organizational difficulties.

If the modernization and retrofitting of the submarine are successful, the Hero Kim Kun Ok will become the first combat-ready carrier of submarine-launched ballistic missiles in North Korea. This will seriously expand the country's strategic deterrence capabilities and complicate the tasks for enemy anti-submarine defense systems.

Experts estimate that North Korea's first fully operational ballistic missile submarine may join the fleet within the next 6-12 months if all technical and organizational issues are resolved in a timely manner.

Technical and operational challenges

- The need to refine launchers and ballistic missile launch systems in conditions of limited resources.

- Long-term testing and fine-tuning of the control system and communication systems of the submarine.

- Crew training and working out interaction with coastal structures.

The appearance of a combat-ready ballistic missile submarine in North Korea will pose a new challenge to regional security, especially for South Korea, Japan and the United States. This could lead to increased anti-submarine measures and requirements for missile defense modernization in the region.
