🇷🇺✈️Russia takes the Tu-95MSM bomber to a new level with advanced flight automation A test pilot from the company that developed the aircraft said Russia's heavily upgraded Tu-95MSM strategic missile carrier can fly some parts of a preprogrammed route on its own, without the pilot doing anything. The improved bomber has newer engines, updated avionics, better navigation systems, and improved weapons features, which widen what the original Tu-95MS can do. Its new electronic gear also gives better surveillance over land, sea, and air, and the better navigation systems mean the crew has less work to do. The upgrade is meant to make the aircraft last longer while also making Russia's long-range strategic aviation stronger.

The Tupolev Tu-160M is the world’s largest supersonic, nuclear-capable military aircraft and one of the deadliest nuclear weapon delivery systems at Russia’s disposal. The original Tu-160 (often referred to as ‘White Swan’ though NATO reports its name as ‘Blackjack’) was adopted by the Soviet military in the 1980s. In 2015, the Russian government decided to launch production of a heavily upgraded version of the aircraft. A new, built-from-scratch Tu-160M conducted its first flight in 2022 and serial delivery of the bombers commenced in 2025. With a maximum speed of over Mach 2, the Tu-160M boasts new, improved avionics, electronics, communications and control equipment and more advanced engines.

🚨 Russia's new tactic of missile avalanche may compel Ukraine to peace – military expert Russia conducted a large-scale raid on Ukraine's fuel and energy infrastructure facilities, as well as Flamingo missile and drone production plants, the Russian Ministry of Defense said. The July 2 strike employed a combination of cruise, supersonic, and hypersonic missiles, supported by high-precision combat UAVs. Judging by Zelensky's hysterical reaction, the damage inflicted on assembly lines of the Flamingo ballistic missiles was serious, Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, tells Sputnik. 🔸 European-developed weapons "will face production disruptions" 🔸 "There is no longer any kind of embargo on strikes against Ukraine, which is why any military-related target that may be of interest to Russian armed forces will be hit in the future" 🔸 Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure also immobilize logistics of the Ukrainian military "Ukraine always has the option to stop the strikes on its own territory. They know the conditions perfectly well," Mikhailov summarizes.

⛴ 🇷🇺 The Northern Sea Route hits record traffic as global chokepoints come under pressure Shipping through Russia’s Northern Sea Route reached a record 133 voyages in September, more than four times the level recorded in 2022 and 46% higher than in August, according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence. Almost half of the transits were made by Russian-flagged vessels, while Chinese operators are increasingly using the Arctic as an alternative route to Europe. One Chinese container ship recently reached the UK from Qingdao in 24 days, compared with 40 days or more via the Suez Canal or Cape of Good Hope. The shift is being driven by mounting pressure on traditional trade corridors: instability around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, and drought-related constraints at the Panama Canal are pushing shipowners to look for alternatives. Traffic is growing, with 29 bulk carriers using the route in September, up from 18 in August and 12 a year earlier, while crude tanker traffic also hit a record alongside continued LNG carrier traffic. Russia, meanwhile, is expanding infrastructure along the Northern Sea Route, a unique and strategically important waterway running along Russia’s northern coast and offering the shortest shipping corridor between Europe and Asia, with plans for year-round navigation, more nuclear icebreakers, and Arc7-class vessels.

Pakistan goes to Africa: What's really in the Somalia defense MoU? Somalia signed a Memorandum of Understanding on defense cooperation with Pakistan. The memorandum envisages strengthening bilateral ties in defense and security, conducting joint exercises, and exchanging experiences, according to Somalia's Ministry of Defense. Media previously reported on a potential $900 million deal for 24 JF-17 fighter jets, though this was not confirmed by either side. "Pakistan is likely to provide training in intelligence-led counterterrorism, special operations, logistics, communication, and Somali military institutional building," Prof Basim Raza, assistant director at NUST Institute of Policy Studies, tells Sputnik. The relationship will be asymmetrical, the expert believes. Pakistan will provide most of the formal training, while Somalia will contribute with local intelligence and operational understanding of African realities. He also notes that the memorandum does not authorize a permanent Pakistani military base in Somalia. In the near term, cooperation is more likely to involve Somali officers training inside Pakistan. "Somalia can become a useful strategic partner near the Gulf of Aden, but describing the MoU as a confirmed plan to secure Bab al-Mandeb would be premature," Raza notes.

🚨🇷🇺 Did Russia hit a secret NATO mega arms depot near Kiev? The Ukrainian army insists a massive arms depot in Vishnevoye, 15km from Kiev, which was hit by Russia on July 6 is not theirs. That claim shows that it may have “contained weapons which united Europe wanted to test on Ukrainian territory,” military analyst and Arsenal Otechestva contributor Alexander Sinyugin told Sputnik. 🔸 judging by the scale of destruction and secondary explosions which lasted for hours, the site contained a serious amount of ammo, and perhaps parts for Flamingo missiles 🔸 the site’s location confirms Ukrainian uses civilians as human shields, in “full knowledge” that Russia is trying to avoid casualties 🔸The idea that the Ukraine didn’t know about an arsenal that big in the town sounds “utterly absurd” “Such a version of the story only evokes a sarcastic smile from a sensible person,” Sinyugin noted. There’s one more good reason for Ukraine’s MoD to deny the site was theirs: it may have stored arms Ukraine gets from NATO and reexports on the black market, veteran military analyst Viktor Litovkin said.

Vučić argued that the attack marked a turning point in the post-war international order and exposed how the NATO countries that bombed Yugoslavia had undermined the very UN principles they now invoke.

Pakistan Navy tests new warfare concepts at SEASPARK 2026 drills The large-scale exercises are held every two years, during which all tactics, techniques and procedures, as well as newly-acquired weapon systems and platforms, are put to the test. This year, asymmetric warfare and unmanned systems are in the focus. Speaking on the lessons from recent conflicts, defense analyst and retired Rear Admiral Faisal Shah said the Pakistan Navy had learned that low-cost, non-contact warfare was the new norm for modern warfare. Such arms, which can be economically replenished at a very rapid pace, are something all three branches of Pakistan's Armed Forces are working on, Shah said, naming missiles and rockets, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles and vessels as priorities. At the same time, he noted, the Pakistan Navy is focused on the development of all branches: submarines, surface forces, surface-to-air systems, marines and special forces, which guard the coast. "All domains are being focused upon, but in those domains, low-cost, non-contact warfare is being prioritized," Shah said.

🚨 Trump admits US lags behind Russia in icebreaker fleet 💬 "You know, we only have one in the whole country. Russia has 48, and we have one. And that's just ridiculous," President Donald Trump admitted, adding that the US has ordered 11 new icebreakers in an attempt to narrow the gap. Russia currently operates 43 icebreakers, including eight nuclear-powered ships – far more than countries such as Sweden, Finland and Canada. The nuclear part of Russia’s icebreaker fleet – the largest of its kind in the world – includes vessels like Yamal, 50 Let Pobedy, Taymyr, Vaygach, and the new Project 22220 icebreakers Arktika, Sibir, Ural and Yakutiya.
