    MQ-9 Reaper Faces Retirement as New Combat Drones Take Its Place (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The famous American MQ-9 Reaper drone often makes the news, and usually for rather scandalous reasons. Its appearance in the sky is always a harbinger of trouble — either immediately or shortly afterward. The Reaper is like a scavenging bird, with conflict zones as its natural habitat, where death is always plentiful. But it seems this bird has had its fill. The Pentagon is sending the drone into retirement. No, that does not mean it will disappear tomorrow. Its withdrawal from active service wi

    Yemen’s Houthis Test Saudi Arabia’s New Military Alliance With Turkey and Pakistan (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Yemen’s Houthis have been surprising the world for years, and especially their less-than-friendly neighbors, Saudi Arabia and Israel. In addition to periodic strikes on their oil and gas facilities and military bases, the Houthis have recently added a victorious advance aimed at taking control of a significant part of coastal Yemen. Saudi forces stationed in the area suffered losses and withdrew. Turkey and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia’s newly established military allies, did not respond in any way. O

    EU Opens Its Market to Armenian Goods — But There Is a Catch (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The European Union has decided to abolish tariffs on a significant share of Armenian exports. The news sounds like Armenia's almost de facto entry into the European Union, since free access to the European market is the main advantage enjoyed by members of the bloc. The problem for Armenia is that this European favor only "sounds" good, but does not actually work that way. The European Union's official sources describe the development as follows: The Council has decided to introduce temporary tr

    Where Is Ukraine’s Defense Industry Heading? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Ukraine's defensive capability continues declining both on the battlefield and within Ukraine’s own defense industry. In August, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense adopted only three new systems, fewer than in the previous month. The trend is clearly favorable for Russia. The list of new equipment includes the following systems: It is worth noting from the outset that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has recently provided less fanfare and less information when presenting new systems. Either the

    Sweden’s Gripens, Air Defenses and Finland: A New Security Challenge for Russia (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It may sound strange, but Stockholm and Helsinki's decision to establish joint mechanisms to defend against drone attacks leads to a rather simple conclusion. And who is flying into Finland these days, if not Ukrainian drones? So are Sweden and Finland creating a small military alliance against Ukraine? Hardly, of course, would the Finns accept such a tongue-in-cheek line of reasoning. The hint contained in this chain of logic is far from obvious to Finns when they have Russia, a country that ha
