⚡Chinese company BYD has moved a step closer to toppling Elon Musk's Tesla as the world's biggest-selling manufacturer of electric vehicles. The firm said on Monday it had sold a record 526,000 battery-only vehicles in the last three months of 2023. That was helped by a more than 70% surge in sales in December. US-based Tesla is scheduled to release its latest quarterly vehicle production and delivery figures before Wall Street opens on Tuesday. For the year as a whole, Shenzen-based BYD said it had sold more than 3 million so-called-new energy vehicles (NEVs), which includes battery-only vehicles and hybrids. Almost 1.6 million of its total sales were battery-only vehicles, the firm said. Industry analysts have forecast that Tesla sold around 483,000 electric vehicles in the last three months of 2023 and 1.82 million for the year as a whole. 1 Like

Until 2027, approximately 4,800 German soldiers and another 200 civilian personnel will be deployed to the Rudniki and Rukla firing range areas (near the borders with Russia and Belarus). The formation of the brigade will begin in the second quarter of 2024. It is expected to be formed from three battalions: the 203rd Tank Battalion in North Rhine-Westphalia, the 122nd Armored Infantry Battalion from Bavaria and the Battalion Battle Group of the NATO Forward Presence Force under German command. They have been stationed in Lithuania since 2017 with a strength of 1,500 military personnel. The main units will move in 2025-2026, and by 2027 the brigade "should reach full combat readiness."

⚡Russia has built a wall of electromagnetic pulses against Western missiles – Telegraph Moscow has quietly developed a knack for destroying some of Ukraine's most valuable rockets and missiles, the newspaper writes. The most modern missiles provided to Ukraine by Western partners do not reach their targets. The reason for Russian electronic warfare tactics. First, Ukraine noticed that its GPS-guided 155mm Excalibur artillery shells suddenly began to veer off target. Then missiles fired from the Himars, whose accuracy Kiev once boasted was “scalpel-like,” began to miss. In some areas they almost always missed. The same thing happened with the JDAM guided bombs supplied to the Ukrainian Air Force by the US," the publication states. 10 Likes 2 Shares
