Jag behövde förklara att Kina visst har ett monopol på FPV-drönare - liksom det mesta som har att göra med batterier och elmotorer. Olja är ett dåligt alternativ:
Det var i så fall en dålig "förklaring", på gränsen till rent svammel. Dessutom handlade frågan om de om de
komponenter Ukraina behöver för att bygga sina UAV-er.
Six ideas for Poland
Noah Smith skrev:Poland is the world’s second-largest manufacturer of batteries, which are the most important component of an FPV drone. It’s emerging as a destination for foreign direct investment in chip manufacturing, another crucial input. And its status as a locus of European EV manufacturing has given it the capacity to make electric motors as well. A drone, really, is just a battery, some chips, and a motor.
As for missiles, Poland benefits from being close to Ukraine, which was the center for Soviet rocket manufacturing. Ukrainians regularly invent their own excellent new missiles, but it’s hard to manufacture these in large numbers because the Russians can attack the factories. So why not have the Ukrainians make their missiles in Poland? That would make the factories safer, as well as giving them access to a large pool of local skilled labor.
Building up a tremendous amount of drone and missile manufacturing capacity in Poland would accomplish several purposes at once. First, and most importantly, it would bolster Poland’s own defense. Second, it would allow Poland to support Ukraine more effectively. But third, it would help Poland continue to grow its economy.
Usually we think of military-related spending as a cost to society — a necessary evil that makes a country poorer in order to make it more secure. But for Poland, missile and (especially) drone industries might be able to help it build the domestic brand champions that its FDI-centric development strategy has lacked so far. Developed countries are going to be looking to source battery-powered drones from someone other than China’s DJI, and a Polish drone company could fill that gap. As for missiles, they could help bootstrap a Polish aerospace industry.

Pentagon Reveals the Production Numbers for Artillery Shells, Missiles to HIMARS and Patriot
Defense Express skrev:According to the report, the U.S. now produces 40,000 155mm artillery shells per month — a 178% increase from the 14,400 rounds produced in 2022, when investments ramped up following russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, propellant charge production, essential for firing these shells, is lagging, with only 18,000 units produced — just a 24% increase from 2022's 14,500 units.
[...]
The report also highlights plans for Germany, Spain, Hungary, South Africa, and Australia to collectively increase their production to 700,000 artillery shells and 10,000 tons of gunpowder per year by 2025. It also mentions a joint effort between Germany, Romania, and Spain to produce up to 1,000 GEM-T missiles for the Patriot system.
Other countries are also investing in expanding ammunition production, largely through the European ASAP program, which aims to boost production capacity to 2 million artillery rounds and missiles per year by 2025.
Dessa västerländska vapen har orsakat
stora ekonomiska skador i Kursk. Vidare har den ryska meddelandetjänsten Telegram använts för
sabotage i Ryssland:
Avia.pro skrev:An incident that caused a wide resonance occurred at the Noyabrsk airport: two schoolchildren, 13-year-old Timur and 14-year-old Sasha, set fire to a Mi-8 helicopter. According to Baza, the teenagers received the task via Telegram and were promised 5 million rubles for the completed "work". The penetration into the protected area occurred through a hole in the fence, through which they later fled the scene of the crime.
After the arson, the teenagers called an ambulance because they had suffered serious burns while trying to set the aircraft on fire. They poured flammable liquid on the helicopter, but their first attempt to set it on fire was unsuccessful - the boys threw a cigarette butt towards the helicopter, but no fire occurred. Only after the second attempt did one of them stick the cigarette butt into the liquid, which led to a powerful explosion.
Immediately after the incident, the teenagers were taken to the hospital, where they were taken under guard. The helicopter burned almost completely, only its tail section survived. During interrogations, the schoolchildren said that several days earlier they had also set fire to a cell phone tower, for which they received 30 thousand rubles. The incident is of particular interest in light of the fact that the father of one of the arsonists is serving in the area of a special military operation.
Putin får äntligen smaka på sin egen medicin! Tre kvällar i rad har drönare observerats över Arlanda. Har Ryssland något med saken att göra?

Som jag skrev tidigare är det tur för Ukraina att Ryssland har inte tillräckligt många Iskander-M/9M723-missiler att sätta in på slagfältet i Ukraina, eftersom de då skulle äventyra sin kärnvapenberedskap. Annars skulle vi ha sett helt andra vapeninsatser med detta system.

skriver att Ryssland levererar dyrbara Iskander-missiler till Iran:
Avia.pro skrev:Iranian journalist Khayal Muazzin said that Russia has transferred Iskander tactical missiles to Iran that can be equipped with nuclear warheads. According to him, this information has already been confirmed and the missiles have been delivered to Iran.
The transfer of Iskanders to Iran is a significant development that could have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region. Iskander tactical missile systems are considered to be among the most powerful and highly accurate systems in Russia's arsenal. They can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, making them a potentially serious threat to any country that finds itself within their range.
