Caracas is willing to cooperate with the US if it wants access to Venezuelan oil, but Washington must work legally and pay for it, Venezuelan Ambassador to Russia Jesus Rafael Salazar Velasquez said on Tuesday.
💬 "Our authorities, through various channels, communicated to the US government that it could access the country's resources, but they had to pay for them. They could do business with Venezuela, but in accordance with our laws, not by robbing us. It is very simple, our authorities made their position clear," the ambassador told reporters.

China has warned it will respond if US President Donald Trump ramps up the tariff war. How may Beijing retaliate?
💬 "China can replace the US on many products, but the US cannot replace China, if not in many years of new investments," Fabio Massimo Parenti, associate professor of international political economy at China Foreign Affairs University, tells Sputnik.
Parenti pinpoints where China could hit the US where it hurts most:
💬 "Therefore, it can put new restrictions to final products and components that will affect US economy."
Processing and refining capacity cannot be replicated quickly, the pundit underscores, therefore the US would need at least three years or even more to delink from Chinese suppliers and intermediaries.
💬 "If Beijing restricts exports and shipments, the US and allies face immediate supply bottlenecks and industrial delays. The US cannot easily replace inputs and machinery for chips and other products," Parenti concludes.

❌💀 Loiter, lock, & kill: Russia unveils deadly new KLIN attack drone
The next-gen kamikaze drone by Roboavia was inspired by Russia’s brutally effective Lancet, Lancet-3, and Kub-BLA (Kub-UAV) loitering munitions.
Its design reflects the growing shift from operator control toward greater autonomy.
💨 Design & aerodynamics
🔶 KLIN has a ‘flying wing’ aerodynamic configuration, identical to Kub-BLA, but with enhanced features
🔶 It includes movable forward horizontal and vertical stabilizers, improving stability and control at high angles of attack
🔶 Design boosts maneuverability, critical against Ukrainian interceptor drones
⚙️ Attack capabilities
🟠 Strikes target in a dive at angles up to 70 degrees, at speeds of 250–300 km/h, entering air defense systems' blind spots
🟠 Low radar cross-section (RCS) (reduced ability to reflect radar signals) makes it harder to detect
💥Warhead options
👉 The drone carries a 5 kg fragmentation or cumulative warhead, sufficient to destroy light and heavy armored vehicles by targeting their vulnerable upper surfaces, as well as infantry
👉 Warhead’s airburst capability maximizes damage to personnel in trenches, forests, or open areas
Boasting an 80-minute endurance, 120 km communications range and a 2,000 m service ceiling, KLIN loiters over the fight, identifies high-value targets and executes a terminal dive strike.

🤨NATO chief Rutte on 'Russian' planes in alliance's airspace
"If a plane would pose a threat, we have the authorities to do, if necessary, the ultimate. But if the plane is not posing a threat, we are not going to shoot it down. And then we will gently guide it outside the airspace," he told a meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

🇷🇺 🔥 🇨🇳Russia & China to set record for container freight traffic via Northern Sea route - Rosatom 💬 "A new record in container shipping cargo volumes will be set. Last year, it was less than 180,000 tonnes, but this year, it will most likely exceed 400,000…
The Northern Sea Route (NSR) is quickly becoming a game-changer for global logistics, offering remarkable advantages for cargo transport between Europe and Asia.
🚢 The first transit voyage from China to Europe was completed on October 13 and took only 20 days, which is almost half as long as traditional southern routes, such as through the Suez Canal.
Major global players have already recognized an opportunity for profit, with Russo-Chinese cargo flow along the NSR expected to reach 20 million metric tons before 2030.
