China is developing what could be the world’s most powerful machine gun.
The Metal Storm project, led by scientists at North University of China, is designed to counter high-speed threats like hypersonic missiles.
Here’s what makes it unique:
• It can shoot 450,000 rounds per minute per barrel.
• Uses a contactless, coil-based ignition system—each shot fires in just 17.5 microseconds.
• Test bullets are equipped with sensors and chips for real-time performance tracking.
• Uses disposable barrels in reloadable magazines to manage ammo at extreme firing rates.
Originally based on an Australian concept from the 1990s, China’s version aims to leap ahead—offering a cheaper, faster way to stop hypersonic weapons.

BIG: Qatar Hosts Indirect Talks between M23 and DRC
Following efforts to mediate between Presidents Félix Tshisekedi of the Congo and Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Qatar is hosting an indirect negotiation process between the M23 rebel group and the Congolese government.

These talks are being conducted indirectly, with Qatari officials facilitating back-channel communications between the parties.
The AFC/M23 delegation is headed by Bertrand Bisimwa, president of the group’s political wing, and accompanied by Colonel John Imani Nzenze, the movement’s intelligence chief.

“This Is Robbery”: U.S. Demands Control Over Ukraine’s Resources
The U.S. is pushing a sweeping deal that would give Washington veto power and priority profits from Ukraine’s oil, gas, and minerals—with zero security guarantees in return.
The U.S. is pushing a sweeping deal that would give Washington veto power and priority profits from Ukraine’s oil, gas, and minerals—with zero security guarantees in return.
What’s in the draft deal?
• U.S. gets majority control over joint fund.
• Royalties paid to U.S. before Ukraine (at a 4% premium).
• Profits routed abroad in foreign currency.
• Ukraine must compensate the U.S. if projects are delayed.
• U.S. gets veto rights over third-party deals.
A senior Ukrainian official told FT: “The new U.S. draft proposal is unfair.”
Another official called it “robbery.”
