🇹🇷 Bayraktar #KIZILELMA Unmanned Combat Aircraft Fully Automatic Landing

[gremlins-hotel]

Yeah okay, so to anyone that might be freaking out about the Su-27/MQ 9 collision and if it might lead to a US-Russian conflict, honestly it’s really blasé compared to what it could be. If anything it’s funny.

The MQ 9 Reaper is an unmanned drone (UAV = unmanned aerial vehicle). Key word: unmanned. This would be a different story if this were an incident between two pilots. However, it’s not. It’s an incident between one pilot in a $30 million aircraft and a $32 million remote-controlled/autonomous-capable drone.

At most this footage displays the historic unprofessionalism and poor training of most Russian pilots. The pilot dumps fuel on the drone for whatever reason. That plume you see? Fuel dumping. And then the pilot attempts to physically hit the drone - which costs more than his own aircraft in conversion - in the propellor. The Reaper is basically a fly. The Russian pilot just attempted to spray it with Raid and then gave up on that and used themselves as the world’s most costly flyswatter. Make no mistake that the damage they could’ve inflicted on themselves is a real and dangerous possibility. If the pilot were smart (or perhaps better trained) they should’ve just used the Su-27’s GSh-30-1 30 mm autocannon platform. What a far more intelligent (and safer) idea.

See, in bird culture, this shit would be a dick move. Like what the fuck dude! I’m flying here! I don’t even have food! Pilot doesn’t even have the mind to use disrespect chaff or flares for style points. I know the Flanker has them. Big Сука Sukhoi playing stupid fuck fuck games at the wheel of whack-fuck. This is going in the United States’ cringe compilation.

July 21, 2024 - Palestine Action activists have broken into two factories which are part of Elbit’s supply chain, causing extensive damage. One group invaded the premises of Manchester-based Dean Group International, and another broke into Ametek Airtechnology in Sunbury on Thames.

Dean Group International uses a specialised technique called “investment casting” to manufacture components for arms companies, including Elbit’s Kent-based subsidiary, Instro Precision. This was verified last month when activists broke into the latter factory.

Ametek Airtechnology specialises in thermal and motion control solutions for weapons including missiles, military vehicles and fighter jets — including Israeli F-35 fighter jets used to bomb in Gaza. Ametek’s subsidiary United Electronic Industries lists Elbit Systems as a “valued customer” – a connection which was also confirmed through sightings of deliveries to Elbit’s Shenstone-based subsidiary, UAV Engines Ltd.

A Palestine Action spokesperson said: “Without suppliers such as Dean Group International and Ametek, Elbit couldn’t make weaponry which is used to commit genocide. Whilst our government continues to facilitate Elbit’s crimes, Palestine Action will continue to use direct action to end the complicity and shut Elbit down”. [video]/[video]

Israel killed aid workers from the World Kitchen Centre. If you think it was just an accident, then you need to know some facts:

The World Kitchen Centre was coordinating with the Israeli forces, which means the Israeli army had their real-time locations. The Israeli forces used precision laser-guided missiles, so you cannot say it was just another collateral damage when they were targeting Hamas.

The last and most important point is that these aid vehicles and trucks had the logo of the World Kitchen Centre, and the UAVs or any fighter jets the Israeli army might have used are capable of extremely high optical magnification.

Look at the precise impact of the missile and the huge logo at the top:

Fearing war with Iran, Israel asks the United States to approve the sale of 25 F-15EX fighters soon

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 04/02/2024 - 19:47 in Military

The consequences of the Israeli airstrike on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria, on April 1º 2024, may mean that Israel defied an open war with Iran. Although it is militarily superior in the Middle East, and always has the support of the United States, the many fronts that Jews have to face make Israel need to prepare for various scenarios. One scenario to face the war with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries is to request the accelerated delivery of the purchase of 25 F-15EX fighters.

President Joe Biden's administration is considering whether to authorize the huge $18 billion arms transfer package to Israel, which includes the acquisition of dozens of F-15EX fighters along with weapons, three sources familiar with the matter said.

The sale of 25 Boeing F-15EX jets to Israel has been under review since the United States received a formal order in January 2023, one of the sources said. Accelerating the delivery of the planes was one of the main requests of the Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, who visited Washington last week and held talks with those responsible ?? Americans, including National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

Seeing the escalation that is taking place in the Middle East, a source said that the U.S. is now considering accelerating the sale of F-15EX fighters to Israel. The Israeli Air Force also said it intends to double the number of orders in question.

The official Request Letter (LOR) for the purchase of the F-15EX fighters was sent by the Israeli Government to the U.S. Government last week. LOR is the first stage of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process. Indonesia had already submitted a LOR for the F-15EX acquisition plan. After sending the LOR, only then will the Agency for Cooperation for the Security of Defense (DSCA) disclose the information of the offer along with the value of the sale.

The Israeli Air Force wants 25 new F-15EX and, in parallel, will also upgrade 25 of its F-15I variants to the same avionic configuration as the F-15EX, except for the fly-by-wire system. The Israeli Air Force currently operates 50 F-15 A/B/C/D variants and 25 F-15I variants.

F-15I

When Israel made the decision to buy more F-15 and F-35, it was based on the assumption that in future combat scenarios the targets would be protected by advanced air defense systems. This would require the first wave of F-35 to neutralize the enemy's air defense systems and then the role of the F-15 to carry out subsequent attacks on enemy territory.

Although Israel has asked to speed up the acquisition of the F-15EX and Washington is considering doing so, on the other hand, it is not easy for Boeing to accelerate the production of the F-15EX, unless this is done through a 'change' in the production queue of the F-15EX (Eagle II) commissioned by the U.S. Air Force (USAF).

Romania and Latvia, both supporters of Ukraine in its third year of war with Russia, on Sunday were investigating instances of Russian drones downed after breaching their airspace, authorities in both countries said.

In Latvia, President Edgars Rinkēvičs posted on social media platform X that a Russian military drone had crashed in the eastern part of the country, which at one time was part of the Soviet Union. "There is an ongoing investigation. We are in close contact with our allies," Rinkēvičs wrote. "The number of such incidents is increasing along the Eastern flank of NATO and we must address them collectively."

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, also writing on X, described the incidents as "a stark reminder that Russia's aggressive actions extend beyond Ukraine" and called for maximum support from Ukraine's allies in the conflict.

Romania, a NATO member sharing a 650-km border with Ukraine, has repeatedly found Russian drone debris near the Danube River, close to targeted Ukrainian ports. The Romanian foreign ministry wrote on X: “Criminal Russian UAVs violated Romania’s airspace, targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. We strongly condemn these violations and urge Russia to stop its reckless escalation.” “We informed Allies and NATO, remaining in close coordination.” the ministry added.

Romania scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to monitor the attack. Residents of the southeastern Romanian counties of Tulcea and Constanta were warned to take cover. Lawmakers have yet to approve legislation enabling Romania to shoot down drones invading the country's airspace in peacetime, with plans to do so in the current legislative session.

okay so there's this country called erusea on a continent called usea that got vibe checked with an asteroid about 20 years ago, and erusea got too many refugees so they decided to start a continental war called the continental war and fight osea and lose in spectacular fashion

fast forward 20 years and erusea has become a kingdom once again and is a bit salty about their loss 20 years ago, so they steal UAV technology from the remnants of the Belkans, and then ship them across the world to vibe check osea and steal the space elevator, which is the only way to access space since they got rid of all the rockets and space shuttles

meanwhile a pilot called trigger has just joined an OADF squadron but his airfield gets hit by erusean bombers and has to go shoot them down, and then goes to kill some stuff for a few missions until this massive drone called an arsenal bird turns up and beats the shit out of the osean forces, so they decide to send trigger alone to rescue the former osean president from the space elevator

the rescue goes horribly because the landing team gets massacred, and then they launch uavs at the space elevator, and then the oseans try to explode the space elevator and the former osean president doesn't like that and turns back to go back to it but then he gets exploded by a missile from a UAV that looks like Trigger's plane. trigger gets blamed for it and gets court martialled and dishonourably discharged and all that, and sent to a prison where he'll never fly again

except the prison has the wonderful idea to put the prisoners in fighter jets so they can decieve erusea and lure them to a fake airfield, and it's fine because the aircraft have their weapons locked, but then erusea decides to bomb both the fake airfield so they decide to unlock the weapons on the fighters and for some reason none of the prisoners attack their captors and instead valiantly fight off the eruseans

the prison warden decides "hey these convicts are fuckin stupid" so he sends them on increasingly dangerous missions with basically nothing stopping them from escaping, but none of them opt to escape and instead fight in these missions. eventually all the prisoners get pardoned and trigger gets sent to another actual squadron despite everyone still thinking he killed the former president

so he goes to the new squadron and they do all sorts of funky shit like blowing up oil rigs and destroying ICBM silos and attacking a submarine and attacking a naval fleat and attacking the same submarine again and this time destroying it and eventually they manage to attack and capture the erusean capital while simultaneously destroying erusea's network of spy satellites. but erusea decides to destroy osea's spy satellites and the debris destroys all the other satellites so all the communications are down and nobody knows anything and erusea has split into violent well armed warring factions

trigger and their squadron are not having fun because their commander was killed while they were capturing the Erusean capital but they decide to escort a defecting Erusean general through said erusean capital, and he tells them about how they used a drone to frame Trigger for murdering the ex-president and then he just. dies as soon as the mission ends for no apparent reason

then they decide to go to an island that was supposed to be under osean control so they can resupply and maybe link back up with osean command but the osean forces are fucked and retreating and also the prison squadron is there but they have no planes and trigger has to save everyone

after this the squadron STILL has no supplies so they attack a castle to get supplies and maybe commit a few war crimes along the way

then they decide "let's go to the space elevator again because it's a satellite now or something" and they go and fight at the space elevator and win, but then two new drones arrive and try to upload their schematics so they can continue the war, and trigger has to shoot them both down, except when they explode they become smaller and trigger has to shoot them down again, and one of them decides it's gonna fly through the tunnels leading to the space elevator, so trigger follows it through the tunnels and shoots it down under the space elevator and then flies out through the space elevator and wins the war and everyone's happy (except the eruseans)

that is uh. interesting. its a lot to take in and makes me wonder "why didnt they just build more rockets" tbh

Over the Past Few Days, the IDF Ground Forces Have Directed over 150 Attacks using Fighter Jets, Helicopter Gunships and UAVs to Eliminate Terrorists and Damage Enemy Infrastructure

[zvaigzdelasas]

[Eurasianet receives funding from the NED, OSF, the FCDO, & others]

The president of Uzbekistan is now Professor Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Mirziyoyev earned that honorary title during his tour of the Magtymguly Turkmen State University in Ashgabat, which he visited on October 21.

The Uzbek leader’s trip to Turkmenistan is only more evidence of the warmth between two nations that have at times in their post-independence history regarded one another with suspicion.

The headline takeaway from Mirziyoyev visit was the proclamation that Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have established an “in-depth strategic partnership” and agreed to hold regular high-level meetings. One aspect of this partnership is the mutual recognition of “the inviolability of [one another’s] borders,” which is no small matter since border demarcation is still an ongoing process.

On a more immediate matter, Berdymukhamedov and Mirziyoyev took part via videoconference in the foundation-laying ceremony of a free trade zone in a location along the border of Turkmenistan’s Dashoguz province and Uzbekistan’s Khorezm province.[...]

“At the current rate … [Uzbekistan’s] gas reserves will be depleted in less than 20 years, while the government foresees natural gas demand rising by 30 [percent] to 65 [billion cubic meters] by 2030,” the IEA concluded.[...]

One item that Uzbekistan will be eager to begin importing from Turkmenistan in short order is gas. [...]

It is thus that Turkmenistan is trying to assume the role of energy supplier to the region.

When Berdymukhamedov went on his first-ever state visit to Kazakhstan earlier this month, his host, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, talked about his country’s interest in reaching a long-term agreement to import 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year from Turkmenistan. [...]

This vision has hit some speedbumps along the way, though. When Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov went to Ashgabat in June 2021, he came away with a provisional deal for Turkmenistan to supply his country with gas in the fall-winter period. Deputy Kyrgyz Energy Minister Taalaibek Ibrayev revealed this April, however, that this deal ultimately fell flat because it was “economically unprofitable.” [...] The 270 million cubic meters that Kyrgyzstan had contracted to import from Turkmenistan was delivered to Uzbekistan, which in turn used that fuel to generate power. Kyrgyzstan thus indirectly received that energy in the form of 1.3 billion kilowatt hours of electricity from Uzbekistan[...]

On October 24, Berdymukhamedov headed west to the Caspian coast to oversee a military readiness drill involving ground, air and navy forces. [...]Jet fighters, cargo planes, and combat helicopters took off from the international airport in the city of Turkmenbashi for the viewing pleasure of Berdymukhamedov, who is formally supreme commander of the armed forces, despite having no known experience in military service. One of multiple highlights of the drill was an exercise in directing an armed Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 UAV toward a target by means of the TürkmenÄlem satellite, which is operated by Turkmenistan’s National Space Agency.[...]

Turkmen exercises like this one are most notable for mainly envisioning the prospect of conflict not with an irregular militant force, but a full-fledged army from a foreign nation. Quite which possible antagonist Ashgabat has in mind is not immediately obvious[...]

In an October 22 meeting dedicated to discussing public administration reforms, Finance and Economy Minister Mukhammetgeldy Serdarov talked up the savings that had been made through a recent merger of districts and villages.[...]

This meeting, incidentally, was chaired by Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, the former president and father of the current incumbent, ostensibly in his capacity as chair of the upper house of parliament.

Russia demonstrates power of its ballistics, Ukrainian ministers resign en masse

Russia launched a missile strike on the city of Poltava, exposing a split among Ukrainian commanders, with ministers starting to resign en masse after doubting their administration.

On Tuesday, 3 September, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the 179 Joint Training Centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in Poltava. Ukrainian media reported that communications and electronic warfare specialists were being trained there under the guidance of foreign instructors. UAV operators also received training there.

At least 50 people were reportedly killed and 271 injured in the strike by two ballistic missiles, the deadliest attack this year. In addition to the AFU soldiers, several foreign instructors from Sweden also died.

According to media reports, Russia also attacked Ukraine’s defence industrial complexes in Lviv, where specialists were working on repairing electronic components for the AFU’s aircraft and missiles. The strike was carried out with hypersonic Kinzhal systems and drones.

While Ukrainian troops stalled in Russia’s Kursk region in hopes of dispersing the Russian army, groups of Russian troops reported advancing in the Donetsk region. Russian and Ukrainian media reported heavy casualties among AFU soldiers.

Psychological damage

In addition to losses among the Ukrainian military, the strike on Poltava caused a psychological effect. For a long time, Ukraine believed that major cities were reliably protected by hundreds of Patriot defence systems. However, after the strikes on Lviv and Poltava, it became harder for Ukrainian authorities to maintain the view of impregnable cities far from the front line.

Russia also struck an Artem plant in Kyiv on Sunday, raising doubts about the capital’s security.

Later, Russian media reported a strike near the village of Bezdryk, the Sumy region. The intelligence reportedly detected an accumulation of equipment and Ukrainian soldiers. As a result, Russia launched a strike, destroying military equipment and about 70 people, which was also confirmed by Ukrainian sources.

Ministers leave office

Strikes on formerly well-defended Ukrainian cities exposed ineffective staff policies as Ukrainian ministers announced the dismissal from the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The string of resignations began with the Former Commander of the Air Force of Ukraine, Mykola Oleshchuk, fired by Zelensky after the crash of an F-16 fighter jet. However, the president stated that the Lieutenant General’s dismissal had nothing to do with the incident.

On Wednesday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba submitted a resignation letter, according to chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), Ruslan Stefanchuk. Kuleba had served as Ukraine’s foreign minister since March 2020.

Justice Minister Denys Maliuska, Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin, and Minister for Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Ruslan Strilets also submitted their resignations. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration Iryna Vereshchuk and Deputy Prime Minister for NATO and EU Integration Olha Stefanishyna also announced their resignations.

Prior to them, the head of Ukrenergo, Volodymyr Komarnytsky, announced his dismissal. Verkhovna Rada MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak accused Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko and the deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Rostyslav Shurma, of “an animated desire to sit on all corruption streams,” according to Ukrainian media.

The head of the state property fund, Vitaliy Koval, also left his post. The speaker of the Verkhovna Rada announced that all resignation requests would be considered at the next parliamentary session.

The string of dismissals amid the protracted incursion into the Kursk region and missile strikes on major Ukrainian cities has become a wake-up call for Zelensky’s administration. Meanwhile, the ongoing Russia’s airstrikes demonstrate its resolute intentions.

However, Ukrainian media reported that JASSMs (the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles), which are compatible with F-16s and capable of reaching Russian territory, could be part of another military aid package coming this autumn. Russian officials warned that the use of such weapons could become a “red line,” forcing the Russian leadership to take more decisive steps.

Aerospace and Department of Defense (DoD) Engineering | Finance Facts

Aerospace and Department of Defense (DoD) engineering are critical sectors of national security and technological advancement. They involve complex systems, cutting-edge technology, and substantial financial investments. As these industries evolve, so do the financial mechanisms supporting them, especially in commercial financing. This discussion explores the intersection of aerospace and DoD engineering with commercial financing, covering various aspects, including funding mechanisms, financial challenges, opportunities, and the influence of government policies and global trends.

1. The Aerospace and Defense Industry Overview

1.1 Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace engineering involves designing, developing, testing, and producing aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and related systems and equipment. This highly specialized field requires aerodynamics, materials science, propulsion, avionics, and software engineering expertise. The aerospace sector is divided into two main segments: civil (commercial) aviation and military (defence) aviation.

Civil Aviation: Involves the development of commercial airplanes, private jets, and urban air mobility vehicles. Companies like Boeing and Airbus dominate this sector, focusing on passenger aircraft, cargo planes, and increasingly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and electric aircraft.

Military Aviation focuses on developing fighter jets, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and drones for defence. Significant players include Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon, which are heavily involved in aerospace and defence.

1.2 Department of Defense (DoD) Engineering

DoD engineering encompasses developing and maintaining military technologies and systems. This includes everything from weapons systems and combat vehicles to communication networks and cybersecurity infrastructure. Engineering efforts in this sector are geared towards ensuring national security and maintaining military superiority.

Weapons and Combat Systems: This includes the development of advanced missiles, naval ships, and ground combat vehicles. Engineering efforts focus on enhancing capabilities, increasing accuracy, and integrating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

Cybersecurity and Communication: This engineering area ensures that military communications are secure and resilient against cyber threats. As digital warfare evolves, it is becoming increasingly important.

Space and Satellite Systems: This includes engineering satellites for communication, reconnaissance, and navigation. The DoD collaborates with NASA and private companies like SpaceX on space missions and satellite launches.

2. Commercial Financing in Aerospace and DoD Engineering

2.1 The Role of Commercial Financing

Commercial financing in aerospace and DoD engineering involves private sector entities providing funds to support developing, producing, and procuring aerospace and defence technologies. These funds can come from various sources, including banks, private equity firms, venture capital, and bond markets. Financing is critical for sustaining innovation, scaling production, and ensuring that companies can meet the demands of both the civilian and military markets.

2.2 Key Financing Mechanisms

Several financing mechanisms are prevalent in the aerospace and DoD sectors, each with its unique characteristics and implications:

Debt Financing involves borrowing funds that must be repaid with interest. This can include loans from banks, the issuance of corporate bonds, or credit facilities. Debt financing is typical in large aerospace companies, which use it to fund capital-intensive projects like developing new aircraft models or constructing manufacturing facilities.

Equity Financing involves raising capital by selling company shares. It is common in startups and smaller firms in the aerospace sector, particularly those focused on innovative technologies like UAVs or space exploration. Equity financing can come from venture capital, private equity, or public markets through an Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Government Contracts and Grants: The DoD provides significant funding to private companies engaged in defense-related R&D and production through contracts and grants. These contracts are often long-term and can include cost-plus arrangements, where the government reimburses all costs and adds a profit margin.

Export Credit Agencies (ECAs): ECAs, like the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), provide financing and insurance to help aerospace companies sell their products overseas. This is particularly important for commercial aircraft manufacturers who rely on international sales.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) Involve collaboration between the government and private companies to finance large projects, such as developing new military technologies or constructing defence infrastructure.

3. Financial Challenges in Aerospace and DoD Engineering

3.1 High Capital Requirements

The aerospace and defence sectors are capital-intensive, requiring substantial upfront investments in R&D, testing, and production. Developing a new aircraft or weapon system can take years and billions of dollars before any return on investment is realized, creating a significant financial burden, especially for smaller companies or startups.

3.2 Long Development Cycles

The development cycles for aerospace and defence projects are often long, sometimes spanning decades. Companies must manage cash flow over extended periods while awaiting revenue from completed contracts or product sales. Long development cycles also expose companies to the risk of technological obsolescence or changes in market demand.

3.3 Regulatory and Compliance Costs

The aerospace and defence industries are heavily regulated, with strict compliance requirements related to safety, security, and export controls. Meeting these regulations can be costly and time-consuming, particularly for smaller companies with limited resources. Compliance costs can also impact profitability and create barriers to entry for new players.

3.4 Geopolitical Risks

Aerospace and defence companies operate in a highly geopolitical environment. Changes in government policies, international relations, or defence spending priorities can significantly impact the industry. For example, defence budgets may be cut due to shifting priorities, or international sanctions could restrict the sale of aerospace products to certain countries.

3.5 Technological Risks

The rapid pace of technological advancement in aerospace and defence poses opportunities and risks. Companies must continually invest in R&D to stay ahead of competitors and meet the evolving needs of the military and commercial markets. However, the high cost of R&D and the uncertainty of technological success can pose significant financial risks.

4. Opportunities in Aerospace and DoD Engineering Financing

4.1 Emerging Technologies

Emerging technologies like AI, ML, quantum computing, and hypersonic flight offer significant opportunities for growth in the aerospace and defence sectors. Companies that successfully develop and commercialize these technologies can attract substantial investment from venture capital and private equity firms. For example, startups working on AI-driven drones or hypersonic missiles will likely attract funding due to their potential to revolutionize warfare and commercial aviation.

4.2 Space Exploration and Commercialization

The commercialization of space is a rapidly growing sector, with private companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab leading the way. The demand for satellite launches, space tourism, and exploration missions is driving significant investment in space-related technologies. This trend presents opportunities for aerospace companies to secure financing for space projects through equity investment, joint ventures, or government contracts.

4.3 Increased Defense Spending

Global defence spending has risen, driven by geopolitical tensions and the need to modernize military forces. This increase in defence budgets creates opportunities for aerospace and defence companies to secure contracts for new projects. Companies offering innovative solutions, such as advanced cybersecurity systems or next-generation aircraft, will likely benefit from increased government spending.

4.4 Public-Private Partnerships

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are becoming increasingly common in the aerospace and defence sectors, particularly for large-scale projects like infrastructure development or the production of military equipment. PPPs allow companies to leverage government funding and resources while sharing the financial risk. These partnerships can also facilitate the transfer of technology and expertise between the public and private sectors.

4.5 Sustainable Aviation

The push for sustainability is driving innovation in the aerospace sector, with a focus on developing cleaner and more efficient aircraft. Companies that invest in sustainable aviation technologies, such as electric or hybrid-electric propulsion systems, are likely to attract funding from both public and private sources. Governments and international organizations are also offering incentives and grants for companies working on green aviation solutions.

5. Government Policies and Regulations

5.1 Impact of Defense Budget Policies

Government defence budgets are critical to the financial health of the aerospace and defence sectors. Changes in budget allocations, such as increases in funding for certain projects or cuts to specific programs, can significantly impact companies' financial planning and operations. For example, shifting focus from traditional military hardware to cybersecurity or space defence could redirect investment and resources within the industry.

5.2 Export Controls and International Trade

Export controls and international trade policies are crucial in the aerospace and defence industries. Regulations like the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) in the U.S. govern the export of defence-related technologies and products. Compliance with these regulations is essential for companies seeking to enter international markets. Still, it can also create challenges, particularly for smaller firms with limited resources.

5.3 Government Support Programs

Governments often provide financial support to the aerospace and defence industries through various programs, such as grants, tax incentives, and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to promote innovation, support R&D efforts, and ensure the competitiveness of domestic industries on the global stage. For example, the U.S. government has historically provided significant funding for aerospace research through agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense.

5.4 International Cooperation and Alliances

International cooperation and alliances, such as NATO, significantly shape the aerospace and defence industries. Joint development programs like the F-35 fighter jet program involve collaboration between multiple countries and companies, sharing the financial burden and risks associated with large-scale defence projects. These alliances also facilitate the transfer of technology and expertise across borders.

6. Global Trends and Their Impact on Financing

6.1 The Rise of Commercial Space Ventures

The commercialization of space is one of the most significant trends impacting the aerospace sector. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have demonstrated the viability of private space exploration, attracting substantial investment from venture capital and private equity firms.

Ukraine is striking targets hundreds of miles inside Russia for 3 key reasons, experts say

Ukraine is striking targets deep inside Russian territory. Anton Petrus/Getty ImagesUkraine has been striking targets deep inside Russian territory.Many of the attacks have focused on airbases or energy infrastructure.Experts told BI that Ukraine was hoping to cause strategic, economic, and psychological damage to Russia.In late July, Ukraine said it had struck a Russian Tu-22M3 supersonic bomber at Olenya airbase in Murmansk, a record-breaking 1,100 miles inside Russian territory.While the news grabbed headlines, it was not the first time that Ukraine has reportedly targeted sites deep within Russia.In June, the GUR defense intelligence agency said Ukrainian forces had hit a prized Russian Su-57 fighter jet stationed at an airfield in the Astrakhan region of southern Russia, around 360 miles from the frontline.And in May, Ukraine's Security Service said a long-range Ukrainian drone struck a Gazprom oil refinery roughly 930 miles away in the Russian republic of Bashkortostan.Ukraine does not currently have permission to use long-range guided weapons such as the ATACMS to hit such targets inside Russia.It has instead made use of cheap, domestically-produced drones for long-range attacks, Mark Cancian, a Senior Adviser on the International Security Program at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, told BI."These are packed with explosives and flown deep into Russia," Cancian said.While striking targets so far from the frontline may be seen as Ukraine spreading itself rather thinly, such attacks have three key benefits, experts told BI.Ukraine has frequently targeted Russian energy infrastructure.Stringer/Anadolu Agency via Getty ImagesPhysical and economic damageStrikes on military-related sites, like airbases or defense-industrial facilities, aim to take out or temporarily disable assets that Russia uses to facilitate its war against Ukraine.And even seemingly small strikes can have a major impact.In the case of the Olenya airbase strike, which Ukraine later said had damaged two of the Tu-22M3 bombers, Justin Bronk, a Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, said that it would have had a "measurable effect.""Russia's active fleet is not large and even the temporary loss of two airframes for missile launch sorties against Ukraine will have a measurable effect," he said.Strikes on oil refineries also aim to "hurt Moscow's pocketbook," John Hardie, Deputy Director of the Russia Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told BI.Although, he added, the extent to which they've done so is "debatable."Russia's oil revenue in April more than doubled year on year, Bloomberg previously reported, highlighting the Kremlin's apparent success in rediverting operations.Reuters reported in April that Russia also appeared to be able to quickly repair some of the key refining facilities damaged by Ukrainian strikes, reducing impacted capacity to roughly 10% from nearly 14% at the end of March, per the news agency's calculations.Putting pressure on Russian air defensesUkraine is also hoping to "overwhelm Russian air defenses" with "mass" drone attacks, Hardie said, adding that it can be "difficult for air defense systems to detect and shoot down UAVs that are small in size or flying low to the ground.""Russia has already adapted its air defense posture following previous drone strikes and reportedly has stood up mobile counter-UAS [unmanned aircraft system] teams. But Russia is a vast country, so defending everywhere is difficult," he said.Moscow also started "well after Ukraine in developing countermeasures to the long-range UAV threat," Hardie added, and it "hasn't stood up anything like the system of cheap, distributed sensors that Ukraine uses to detect Shahed UAVs."Russia's S-400 is one of its most advanced air defense systems.AP ImagesAs a result, these attacks present Russia with a "serious dilemma," Bronk said.Given the vastness of Russia's territory and the number of potential targets Ukraine could hit, Moscow "is either forced to protect by taking air defence systems away from the frontline areas; or to leave [domestic targets] undefended which results in consistent harassing damage," he said.Psychological warfareDeep Ukrainian attacks within Russian territory also present the Kremlin with a serious political problem — ordinary Russians start to realize that "the state cannot fully defend its own airspace," Bronk said.Cancian agreed, saying the "psychological" impact of these attacks was crucial. One of Ukraine's main goals was "military embarrassment and popular anxiety," he said.It shows the Russian people that "there is a price for attacking Ukraine," he added.
