⚡️Eight Amazon rainforest countries open summit in Belem, 🇧🇷 Brazil. For the first time in 14 years, presidents of the South American nations home to the Amazon rainforest are converging to chart a common course for protection of the bioregion and address organized crime. The summit Tuesday and Wednesday in the Brazilian city of Belem is a meeting of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization. 🇧🇷 Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has said he hopes the Belem summit will awaken the organization that has met only three times in 45 years. It’s Lula’s second attempt to form an Amazon bloc. He tried back when the last Amazon summit was held in 2009, during his first presidency, but was joined by only one other president from the region, Bharrat Jagdeo of 🇬🇾 Guyana. 1 Like

⚡️Mali and Burkina Faso declared the unacceptability of military intervention in Niger The corresponding statement was made by the Malian Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization Abdoulaye Maiga following a meeting with the leaders of the ruling body of the rebels The delegations of Mali and Burkina Faso, who visited Niamey on Monday, declared the unacceptability of foreign military intervention in the internal affairs of 🇳🇪 Niger, where rebels removed President Mohamed Bazoum from power at the end of July. This was reported by the ActuNiger information portal. "For 10 years now, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have been dealing with the socio-economic, political, humanitarian and security consequences that arose after the dangerous adventure of NATO in 🇱🇾 Libya. Are we taking another similar gamble in Niger? Presidents of [Mali] Assimi Goita and [Burkina Faso's] Ibrahim Traore said no and no. We do not accept military intervention in Niger, our survival depends on it," said the Malian Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization, government spokesman Abdoulaye Maiga. "The heads of State of Mali and 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso have made a firm decision to leave assets, not debts, to the future generation. I think that ECOWAS [The Economic Community of West African countries] is grossly mistaken with the addressee - these ultimatums should be presented to terrorist groups," he concluded. The Minister spoke following a meeting behind closed doors between members of the delegations and the leaders of the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland (NSR, the ruling body of the rebels), who on August 7 agreed on the terms of support for Niger in the event of external aggression by ECOWAS, explains ActuNiger. The purpose of the delegations consisting of ministers and representatives of law enforcement agencies was to demonstrate solidarity with Niger under the sanctions imposed on Niamey by the Economic Community of West African Countries, as well as to coordinate response actions in case of external aggression, the portal reported. The members of the delegation were received by the head of the National SSR, Brigadier General Abdurakhman Tchiani, who received the messages of the Presidents of 🇲🇱 Mali and Burkina Faso. 1 Like

⚡🇷🇺 Russia will soon deploy the Bas-200 helicopter-drone in the Special Military Operation - Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov. The helicopter has: - 160km/h top speed - 400 km range when autonomous - 100 km connection range when operated by a human ground controller - Altitude 4-5km - 50kg payload These drones will be able to do ISR and strike missions. It can carry a single Vikh-1 ATGM and operate in anti-armor attacks. It would also be able to act as a laser-designator for laser-guided weapons like the Krasnopol. Ka-52 helicopters have to be stored very far away from the frontline to avoid Himars strikes and the crew are always in some danger when in combat. But this drone doesn’t have those issues. The small size and long connection range mean that they can be placed close to the frontline whilst keeping operators safe, this would also allow for much quicker response times when it comes to destroying enemy armored vehicles. 2 Likes
