    Migration mutiny: EU summit deadlocks

    February 12, 2024 - By 

    BRUSSELS — EU leaders were ticking through their agenda items with alacrity on Thursday. Rumors were circulating they might even cancel Friday’s meeting, having nothing left to talk about. Then Viktor Orbán stepped in. Our approach to migration is unacceptable, the Hungarian leader fulminated. Exactly, echoed the Polish prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki. We won’t move forward with the summit’s final statement until our concerns are addressed, they vowed. In the end, they got their way — kind of. The entire summit stalled as the leaders of France and Germany, plus European Council President Charles Michel, negotiated with Hungary and Poland. Eventually,…

    Israeli Python Training Missiles Are Cleverly Disguised As U.S. Sidewinders

    February 1, 2024 - By 

    Israel may be in the top 10 of global weapons exporters, but, due to political sensitives on both sides, it’s not necessarily desired that attention is brought to every country that buys its arms. In most cases, that simply means that the details of weapons recipients are not disclosed. However, it seems there is a more covert approach when it comes to certain Israeli-made air-to-air missiles (AAMs), widely judged to be some of the most capable in the world. Posting on Twitter today, Mike Yeo, an Australia-based defense and aviation reporter, noted how Singapore, for one, flies Block 52 F-16…

    A Russian Ka-52 “Alligator” attack helicopter fires during a 2021 demonstration. One Ka-52 helicopter was reportedly destroyed by Wagner mercenaries during their revolt.Leonid Faerberg/Getty Images Suspicions of disloyalty seemingly extend far beyond senior officials and generals who had direct ties to Prigozhin. Some pilots and airmen are said to face questions for refusing orders to fire on the Wagner columns during their coup. Some Russian bloggers felt it was hypocritical to punish the aviators when the mutineers were let off. A cloud of suspicion is descending on Russia’s vast security state over questions about how thousands of Russian mercenaries could…

    Ukraine aims to wear down and outsmart a Russian army distracted by infighting

    December 30, 2023 - By 

    KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The ambush had been postponed three times before Ukrainian commanders decided one recent night that conditions were finally right. Cloaked in darkness, a battalion of Kyiv’s 129th brigade pressed ahead, advancing stealthily on unsuspecting Russian soldiers. By the time the Russians situated along the front line realized they were under attack, it was too late. Ukraine’s recapture of the small village of Neskuchne in the eastern Donetsk region on June 10 encapsulates the opening strategy of a major counteroffensive launched earlier this month. Small platoons bank on the element of surprise and, when successful, make incremental…

    Ukraine has an array of new Western weapons. What advantages could they offer in a counteroffensive?

    December 29, 2023 - By 

    When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Ukraine’s military was largely reliant on Soviet-era weaponry, from tanks to artillery to fighter jets. While that arsenal helped Ukraine fend off an assault on the capital of Kyiv and prevent a total rout in the early weeks of the war, billions of dollars in military assistance has since poured into the country, including more modern Western-made weapons. Ukraine’s counteroffensive, now in its early stages, could offer a glimpse of whether and to what extent the newer weapons systems have strengthened Kyiv’s ability to stand up to Russia. Analysts are cautiously optimistic. “Ukraine…
