The North Korean leader also stressed “the need to continue to bolster up the nuclear force and have the strongest military technical capability and overwhelming offensive capability in the field of conventional weapons too.” The tests involved the new tactical ballistic Hwasongpho-11-Da-4.5 missiles, KCNA said, indicating it was part of a series of short-range ballistic missiles it had been developing.

"Due to the current cases in The Hague and Strasbourg, we have avoided making firm and precise statements on this topic. But when we see that, firstly, the trials have been completed, and secondly, that the same political force is now trying to unleash a war in the country, we cannot afford not to tell the whole truth to Georgian society that on August 7, 2008, it was the Saakashvili regime that unleashed the war in Georgia" 5 Likes 2 Shares |

⚡Recent military aid packages to Ukraine have been smaller. This is due to dwindling stockpiles of weapons and equipment that the Pentagon is willing to send from its own inventory. The Biden administration has $6 billion in funds available for Ukraine. However, the Pentagon lacks sufficient inventory to deliver without impacting US military readiness. Zelensky has reported that Ukraine is feeling the impact of these inventory shortages. He warned of a "significant" shortfall in vital aid and slow deliveries of promised air defense systems. Recent aid packages have been significantly smaller, not exceeding $400 million and mostly ranging from $125 million to $250 million. In 2022 and 2023, packages were regularly between $600 million to $800 million, with the largest being $2.85 billion in January 2023.

⚡Two Chinese Coast Guard ships arrived in Russia’s far east on Tuesday for a series of joint drills and patrols with Moscow’s forces, the Russian foreign ministry said. The exercise, dubbed “Pacific Patrol 2024”, comes just a week after Chinese and Russian warships sailed through the Sea of Japan for a different drill, and as both countries ramp up their military co-operation. “The Chinese Coast Guard ships Meishan and Xiushan are visiting Vladivostok,” a local branch of the Russian foreign ministry said on Telegram. “During the visit, a number of events are planned, including joint exercises and patrols. A welcoming ceremony for the flotilla was held on 17 September,” it added. Moscow and Beijing have deepened military and economic cooperation in recent years, an alliance that has drawn anxiety from the West as both countries seek to counterbalance what they see as a United States-led global order. China sent four warships and a supply vessel to Russia last week for the start of Moscow’s Ocean-2024 exercise, part of the largest drill of its kind for three decades. 3 Likes 1 Share |

⚡ Nobody wanted to hold a press conference with Scholz. Kazakhstan cancelled the join conference just before it began and Uzbekistan did not even agree to hold one in the first place. After the cancellation, Scholz came out in Kazakhstan alone and talked about “supporting the nations in the region on their way to sovereignty”, which they ironically showed by pushing him back. The German news agency DPA reported: "The planned joint press conference of Tokayev and Scholz was cancelled by the Kazakh side shortly before it began. And in Uzbekistan, the Chancellor's first stop on his three-day trip, a joint appearance before the press was not planned from the very beginning” 1 Like

⚡Russia resumes arms deliveries to Armenia, including Smerch MLRS & its 300mm rockets, while halting weapons supplies to Azerbaijan since 2022. Russian arms deliveries to Armenia are ongoing, even up to the present day. Russia has not sent "a single bullet" to Azerbaijan, citing the war in Ukraine as the reason. Despite public rhetoric suggesting deteriorating relations, trade between Russia and Armenia has been growing rapidly. Trade volume increased from $2.6 billion in 2021 to $5 billion in 2022 (91.7% growth) & reached $7.4 billion in 2023. Projected to reach $14-16 billion in 2024. The growth is largely attributed to re-export schemes to bypass Western sanctions on Russia & export of Russian gold and diamonds through Armenia to UAE and Hong Kong. The West, particularly France, the US, and the EU, are providing significant financial and military aid to Armenia despite awareness of its economic ties with Russia.
