China is able to destroy the satellites of opponents, said the head of the US Space Force
In a telephone interview with Nikkei, the general said the Chinese are building or have already built “everything from the reversible jammers of our GPS system — which provides navigation and high-precision timing — to jammers for communications satellites. They have rockets that they can launch from Earth to destroy satellites. I am convinced that this power that they are building will be used by them in any potential conflict. "
In his opinion, the United States is faced with a force in space that has become much more competitive: “Space is the basis of our instruments of national power - be it diplomatic, economic, informational and [in general] national security. Competition between superpowers is broader than competition between military forces alone. It goes through all government aspects. Space is crucial for this. "
Satellites play an important role in US military activities, with their help, the movement of enemy forces is tracked and communication between units is provided. In this regard, the general is sure, the possibility of free access to space, as well as freedom of maneuver in outer space, are of particular importance. It is believed that the United States rely too much on its space capabilities: in the event of an armed conflict with China or Russia, one of the first steps that should be taken is to attack American satellites in order to cause significant damage to the US combat capability.

MW: US accelerates space militarization under the guise of protection against "Russian threat"
American complaints about "matryoshka satellites", as well as weapons designed specifically for space warfare, are not without reason. The United States has once again come up with the myth of the "Russian threat" in order to militarize space, the authors of the American edition of Military Watch are sure.
They remind that Russia is constantly refuting claims about "nesting dolls" in orbit and other weapons. However, this does not mean anything to the United States. They come up with more and more fantastic stories without even trying to bring an evidence base under them.
This is done only in order to "knock out" funding for the latest military space development. And at the same time to reassure the whole world with statements that the United States does not want to militarize space at all. They are simply fighting the "Russian threat", almost covering up the rest of the states. This approach is used so often that it looks very predictable and absurd. However, in doing so, it fires over and over again.

🇺🇸Until now, experts around the world are wondering why the United States did not want to export F-22 stealth fighters, although the F-35 program from the very beginning was put on wide international cooperation.
Many experts believe that it is a top-secret stealth technology that may have gotten into the hands or eyes of unwanted elements. This, of course, is true, but there were two more factors that made their export impossible.
The F-22 was conceived exclusively as an air superiority fighter, that is, for a very narrow specialization.
Secondly, the F-22 software, in terms of its degree of security, could not guarantee the preservation of aircraft secrets at bases outside the United States, especially as part of the air forces of other countries. Considering this factor, the development of the F-35 was immediately set in such a way that the software of this aircraft had several very effective "protective layers" for breaking, preventing the disclosure of the "core capabilities" of the aircraft.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 A new arms race between the US and China is starting to unfold in the Pacific region, which may also drag Russia and the UK after signing a new defense pact with America and Australia. The photo shows a comparison of the current nuclear arsenals of each of the countries.
China is advised to take a more aggressive stance against the backdrop of the formation of AUKUS and abandon the policy of non-use of nuclear weapons first.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force will showcase the WZ-7 high-altitude reconnaissance drone for the first time at the 2021 China Air Show in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province
This development is a copy of the American RQ-4A Global Hawk reconnaissance aircraft. Chinese engineers did not develop a new aircraft, but simply repeated the reliable American design. In the early 2000s, several of these UAVs crashed in Pakistan and could become a source of technology for China.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳 Naryshkin: US intelligence report on the origin of the coronavirus looks unprofessional.
“Quite a while ago, the US intelligence community published its report on this subject, which contained such very vague, I would say, politicized assessments, which, of course, is uncharacteristic for intelligence, and for intelligence it looks very unprofessional,” he said.
“As for our knowledge, we, of course, are trying to keep track of this issue. But we did not receive any evidence that this virus was created in a laboratory. And therefore, we adhere, of course, to the version that ... The version that the majority, in my opinion, from the scientific community also adhere to, that this virus, of course, was born in nature, "Naryshkin noted.

The United States completed the withdrawal of 17 B-1B Lancer bombers. The last of the withdrawn arrived at the "cemetery" in Arizona, arriving from there from Edwards AFB in California.
The withdrawal of 17 aircraft took place from February to September, and thus 45 of the 62 bombers of this type remained in the US Air Force. At the same time, out of 17 aircraft, 4 are in the "cemetery", where they will be maintained in such a state that will quickly allow them to return to service.
All this was done in order to maintain the remaining B-1Bs in a state of readiness, as well as "pave" the way for a replacement - the B-21 Raider.

🇦🇱 🇷🇸 Albania demanded to remove Serbian troops from the borders and is ready to join the conflict in northern Kosovo.
The press release notes that Albania is particularly concerned about "the deployment of Serb military forces near the border with Kosovo and military aircraft flying near and over Kosovo airspace, which encourages people to provoke unrest and violence and destabilize Kosovo.
These actions are contrary to international agreements aimed at ensuring order and stability in this part of the region. We call on Serbia to withdraw its military forces aimed at the border with Kosovo and to work to urgently de-escalate the situation. We call on all participants to show restraint and immediately return to dialogue as the only way to move forward and address open issues in the spirit of cooperation to which Albania is unconditionally committed in its bilateral and multilateral efforts, ”the ministry said.

TROPHY active protection system for combat vehicles
The ability to integrate into any platform
The system can neutralize several attacks from different directions at the same time, while maintaining a relatively low risk of hitting friendly infantry.
The system neutralizes all types of RPGs and anti-tank missiles, which excludes damage from both a cumulative jet and a kinetic strike.
The Aspro also exists in a lightweight version that can be installed to protect armored personnel carriers, as well as an ultra-light version designed for light armored vehicles such as the JLTV.
In total, RAFAEL has created 3 varieties of this active protection system.
The Trophy active protection complex includes a radar that detects and identifies projectiles flying towards the protected object. On a signal from the radar, launchers are activated, throwing interceptor projectiles towards them, which must destroy the warhead, at the maximum possible distance from the vehicle.
