Lithuania Will Get An Ammunition Factory!?

Everyone’s talking about defence and geopolitics these days. One thing I’ve seen a few Lithuanians discuss in the comments section of my videos is the need for the country to develop its own defence industries. Not only will it allow the country to keep more of its military spending inside the country, but it will no doubt also help to ensure Lithuanian and allied forces are well-stocked to deter Russian aggression.

P.S. Since the West, especially the United States, failed miserably by not being able to supply ammunition and modern weapons to the Ukrainian army according to battlefield demands, the countries of the Baltic region and Eastern Europe as a whole should think about more active development of their modern indigenous military industry...

Destruction of Russia's Toropets ammo depot by Ukraine reduces likelihood of hypothetical Russian invasion of Baltic States and Poland.

The facility is situated at the northwestern edge of the Moscow Military District. The depot covers an area of approximately 8 km² and is about 100 km from the Belarusian border and roughly 200 km from Latvia.

In a sense, the depot resembles the infamous Cobasna ammo depot in Moldova's occupied Transnistria, which served under the USSR as a primary storage facility for the southern Soviet armies, aimed at sustaining the Soviet invasion of southern Europe.

Air defence system promised by Canada one year ago still not delivered to Kyiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that delivering air defence systems to the battlefield is the top priority during the new year. However, Canada’s promise to donate $406 million for the missile defence system had not yet been fulfilled, according to the Canadian CTV channel.

Ottawa announced plans to donate the surface-to-air missile defence system, known as NASAMS, on January 10, 2023. However, almost a year later, one of the two companies involved in the deal stated that it did not have a contract to donate the system.

Under the plan, Canada was to pay the US government the full cost of the system, while the US was to ship it to Ukraine.

The US Department of Defence has signed a $1.2 billion contract with Raytheon to deliver NASAMS systems destined for Ukraine in November 2022. The public notice for this contract states that the expected completion date is November 2025.

Ukrainian made Vampire attack drones, Ukraine, 2023. Source: NOELREPORTS

The "Army of Drones" is sending more than 270 Ukrainian Vampire attack drones to the front, Minister of Digital Transformation Fedorov said. According to him, these are Ukrainian-made copters. They can carry up to 15 kilograms of payload. The military will use them to destroy both armored vehicles and tanks, as well as enemy defense structures, fortifications, or ammunition depots(..)

P.S. It is important for Ukraine and the other countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic region to develop their own military industry, especially high-tech long-range weapon systems. We are still at risk that several corrupt Western politicians want to make the same deals with the Kremlin as Nazi Germany did on August 23, 1939, by signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact

Cheap thrills, costly spills: The real price of Made-in-China

By N. C. Bipindra China dreams of turning the People’s Liberation Army, or PLA, into a “world-class” military by the end of 2049. Two out of every ten and seven of the top twenty-five of the world’s largest defense companies are from China. But does high volume necessarily mean a better and more potent armed force? Military weapons are an important tool for projecting a country’s influence…

Reuters had a headline this week that read, “NATO finds gaping holes in Europe's defenses” for an article talking about the alliance’s plans to make the continent more secure from Russian threats. Will someone please tell Janice in HR that’s why I was searching online for “European gaping holes.”

The thermal countermeasure market is rapidly growing, particularly in the area of advanced missile defense capabilities for aerial platforms. This expansion is driven by various factors, with a significant one being the worldwide rise in geopolitical tensions and security threats.
