🇷🇺 The Russian Strategic Missile Forces will wrap up rearmament with Yars ICBMs in 2023, said Colonel-General Sergei Karakayev, commander of the unit.
The Yars ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) is a modern nuclear missile that is designed to be launched from a mobile platform. Developed by Russia, it is equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) that can deliver several nuclear warheads to different targets with pinpoint accuracy.

🇻🇳 It wasn't life, it was hell: Aftermath of using Agent Orange in Vietnam
The chemical was sprayed over much of Vietnam from August 10, 1961 to 1971. It is estimated that approximately 4.8 million Vietnamese were exposed to Agent Orange, and its effects continue to be felt today.
The use of Agent Orange remains controversial and is considered one of the most tragic legacies of the Vietnam War.

🇷🇺 The Russian military has tested the first batch of the new "Obereg" armored vests that can stop NATO sniper bullets of 8.6 millimeter caliber, said the first deputy director general of Rostec, Vladimir Artyakov, in an interview ahead of the international military-technical forum "Army-2023".
"And we succeeded. The weight of the "Obereg" is only about 11.7 kilograms. The novelty was tested not only with standard 7.62x54 mm bullets for the Br-5 class, but also with bullets of a more powerful caliber - 8.6 mm (.338 Lapua Magnum). The ceramic plate withstood such a hit. We also shot American and Chinese classmates. The tests showed that foreign vests are powerless against such a test," Artyakov said.

🗣️ US foreign policy establishment will block any attempt at a diplomatic solution in Ukraine:
“Any president, any administration that decides to seek a negotiated solution to the Ukraine conflict is going to know that every day there will be people appearing in the media on the talk shows, talking about how Ukraine is being betrayed and how the United States, how the president of the United States and his administration is engaging in appeasement and is letting Ukraine, a key ally of the United States, a heroic ally of the United States, fighting against the Russian colossus, how they are betraying it and letting it down. And that is a potent message,” Alexander Mercouris, writer and international affairs analyst, host of The Duran on Youtube, told Sputnik.

🗣️ On the significance of cluster ammunitions for Ukraine:
“The only thing these cluster munitions do for Ukraine is allow them to continue firing artillery a little bit longer so that the offensive has dragged on much longer than expected with no results at all. This allows Ukraine to put some more time up on the clock to try to make something happen here... The real determining factor is who is taking more positions from whom and who is losing more troops. And the answer is very clearly Ukraine. Ukraine is losing more troops,” Brian Berletic, ex-US Marine, independent geopolitical researcher, and writer based in Bangkok, told Sputnik.
