This is one of the reasons why I support and vote for Putin.
The Russian Federation under him is a multi-confessional multiethnic state, the largest one in the world.
It makes me proud that he is my President when he stands for this even in times where it might be politically expedient
to play the ethnic-nationalist card.

🇬🇧🇺🇦Forbes columnist David Ax criticized the Challenger 2 tanks that Great Britain transferred to Ukraine and called them useless.
He pointed out that Ukraine received the tanks without a set of additional armor, while the extra three tons of weight would have made British armored vehicles even less mobile on the soft Ukrainian black soil.
The observer also criticized its rifled 120-mm gun, which, according to him, wears out the barrel after 500 rounds, while the service life of a smoothbore gun is three times longer.

The Poltava regional military registration and enlistment office of Ukraine turned to the Ukrainian police with a request to find about 30 thousand persons liable for military service who did not come when summoned.
Today, similar data appeared for the Ivano-Frankovsk region, 36 thousand draft dodgers are being sought there.

Covert allies? What is the relationship between ISIS-K* and the US? Pt. 2
◾️Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai in 2017 asserted that the US government had allowed ISIS to thrive in Afghanistan, branding the jihadi groups to be a "tool" of the US. "I do not differentiate at all between ISIS* and America," he argued.
◾️The Russian Foreign Ministry has raised concerns about potential US cooperation with ISIS* militants in Afghanistan. Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova mentioned that unmarked helicopters, reportedly delivering reinforcements, weapons, and ammunition to ISIS* in areas controlled by jihadists, have been observed since 2017. Moreover, Russian Presidential Special Representative for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov noted that an influx of militants had flooded into Afghanistan after the defeat of ISIS* in Syria.
◾️On Thursday, the head of the Taliban's** political office in Doha, Mohammad Suheil Shaheen told Sputnik that ISIS in Afghanistan reached its zenith during the US occupation, when it was based in the northeastern region. The Taliban** successfully expelled the jihadists, who now operate training centers abroad under the supervision of foreign intelligence services.
*ISIS, or ISIS-K (also known as Wilayat Khorasan) is a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia.
**Taliban is under UN sanctions for terrorist activities.

Russia’s Onyx supersonic missile undergoes upgrade
The Onyx supersonic cruise missile, part of the Bastion coastal missile system, has been modernized based on the experience gained during the special military operation in Ukraine.
🔺 The missile has been equipped with new active homing heads, allowing them to strike objects of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the ground
🔺 The upgraded version of the Onyx-M is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 800 kilometers
🔺 Work is underway to protect the Onyx against electronic warfare, which would make it possible to hit targets even more accurately
The Onyx anti-ship missile entered service in 2002. It has an over-the-horizon firing range and realizes the “fire-and-forget” principle. The missile also has a reduced radar signature and is effective in electronic warfare conditions.
