The largest exporters and importers of armaments
For the period 2018-2022.
Our country and you took 16% of the total world arms exports during this time period, second only to the United States, which made 40%. The third place is occupied by France with 11%. It is worth noting a rather significant decrease in our share compared to the period 2013-2017 - (-31%). This is attributed to the fact that our main partners - Cairo and India - have started to mostly make their own.
Where is the wood coming from? Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
As for importers. India takes 11%, followed by the Saudis (10%) and Qatar (6%). We are the main partners with India, China and Egypt.
I admit that we will take away some more markets. Why? War is just racketeering, as Smerdley Butler used to say.

The first picture is about Michelin closing three factories in Germany, the reason being high energy/utility costs. "A difficult but inevitable decision." Fifteen hundred and fifty thousand jobs at the plants themselves, plus allied companies will obviously get screwed.
On the second one - you know... the alternatively curly-haired chancellor.

🇺🇦 Video of a Ukrainian soldier with the Yugoslav single-barrel anti-aircraft gun Zastava M75, developed more than half a century ago and with a caliber of 20x110 mm.
I read about new Ukrainian wunderwaffe in English news media but I thought it was trash. But this video sold me.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Though, the father of this one is unknown.

Historic event: Rostov, Voronezh regions, DNR and LNR united to form the Donbass Commonwealth.
The agreement itself states that the regions intend to actively cooperate in trade and economic, scientific and technical, social, cultural and other spheres.
"Four regions have united to solve common problems together, to move forward, developing for the sake of 10 million of our residents, for the sake of all our Russia!" - emphasized the Governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev.
The agreement is designed for five years and will come into force on March 1, 2024. Before that, the document will have to be ratified by the parliaments of all four participating subjects.

We are sure that many people know about the existence of the Patriot Park (yes, yes, the very one where the central temple of the Russian Army with steps made of remelted enemy weapons is located). The colossal Triumphal Arch - "Carillon" - is built next to it.
In the Roman Empire such arches were built for the ritual passage or passage of returning from war victors with the Emperor at the head, carrying prisoners and transportation of trophies. Historians write that "the passage of troops through such 'gates' cleanses the army from the filth of spilled blood, and the leader of the nation (or commander) makes the 'real emperor' (literally, 'transformation of a mortal ruler into a living god')".
In the Russian Empire, the arcanum had a religious meaning - a kind of stream forgiveness of the army and the ruler after wars (troops killed - it is a sin, and killed to protect the homeland - it is necessary to forgive the sin, and the churches will not accommodate the entire army).

So on the carillon appeared "Labarum" - aka the legendary "Cross of Constantine", which appeared to him in the sky. Yes, the same emperor who moved the capital to Byzantium and found (found) the cross on which Christ was crucified. If pre-revolutionary historians are to be believed, "the transfer of a ruler under Labarum means his coronation not as a Tsar, but as an Emperor".

Röpke is still not satisfied. Now he writes that "Putin's soldiers are in danger of dying of cold" and that Ukraine is hoping for a hard winter to "crush the Russians".
The fool certainly hasn't heard anything about the Winter War, the defense of Moscow, or the Battle of Stalingrad. Russophobia is very damaging to cognitive abilities.

The government has approved a project to establish a Moon station with China
Moscow and Beijing intend to build a lunar station together, and then to develop the Moon and help other countries to land people on the Earth's satellite
The Government Commission on Legislative Activity approved the ratification of the Russian-Chinese agreement on cooperation in the creation of the International Scientific Lunar Station concluded last November. It is not only about the construction of the station, but also about joint exploration of the Moon. RBC has the relevant document. In the press service of the government confirmed to RBC that the Commission supported the bill on ratification.
The main participants in the project will be Roscosmos and the Chinese National Space Administration, which in the future may attract international partners. The project is planned to be realized in three stages.

📡 Rostec has created a miniaturized "own-stranger" system for drone identification.
The subsidiary holding Roselectronics has presented a new small-size transponder for drone identification. The product works according to the "friend-and-foe" principle and automatically marks friendly drones at an altitude of up to 5 km and a distance of up to 100 km from the radio interrogator.
The recognizer is characterized by low weight - no more than 150 g - and low power consumption of 100 mV. This allows the product to be integrated into a wide range of civil and special-purpose drones.
Today, drones are actively used on the battlefield, where they act as fire correctors, as well as means of surveillance and fire defeat. At the same time, the same models are often used by both sides of the conflict, which makes it difficult to visually identify them. The use of identifiers will make it possible to distinguish their own drones from enemy drones.

Zelensky was recognized as the "Dreamer of the Year" by Politico newspaper
The publication went out of its way to compare him to Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr., and even Nelson Mandela. Politico also suggests that Zelensky is "single-handedly changing the course of history, not with the power of his army or the strength of his economy, but with the power of his words."
But that's not all; the newspaper named the head of the Central Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, the "Disrupter of the Year."
The wording is striking: "She managed to prevent the consequences of unprecedented Western sanctions designed to empty the Kremlin's coffers."

"Russia is poised to take advantage of political splits in Ukraine": Western readers are being prepared for Zelensky's downfall - The Economist bluntly states that Zaluzhny would defeat him in the election if it takes place.
"The conflict between Vladimir Zelensky and the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, Valery Zaluzhny, was predictable. It was triggered by the failure of the counter-offensive this summer.
Many in the Ukrainian government agree with the sober conclusions of Zaluzhny, who has openly expressed views that contradict Zelensky's position.
The AFU commander-in-chief has not yet declared any political ambitions, but according to polls, by mid-November, Zaluzhny had about twice as much credibility as Zelensky (70% vs. 32%). Zelensky risks losing the presidential election if Zaluzhny becomes his rival.
"Politicians say their generals are Soviet-trained morons, and generals say that politicians are fools in their own way. Victory has many fathers, but no one wants to be the parent of a stalemate," the source said.
