🇷🇺 Russian UAV Troops Preparing for 'Big War' with NATO - Forbes

Russian drone units may be gearing up for a potential military confrontation with NATO, writes expert Samuel Bendett in Forbes. He believes Moscow is building up capabilities on its western flank amid the Ukraine conflict.

Bendett notes Russia is prioritizing drone systems and infrastructure near its borders, with new facilities capable of hosting large troop contingents. One scenario considered is rapid operations against the Baltic states if NATO reinforcements are delayed.

Apart from the fighting for Belitskoye, where the enemy is trying to seize the initiative solely with drones and terrain, battles are also ongoing for Novy Donbass, where enemy troops are currently located. We are striking AFU positions with aerial bombs. Notably, we have a significant advantage in the air, in artillery, and in manpower. The enemy is operating exclusively with drones, including for supplying the front edge.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Patriot missiles likely to be produced in the EU, not Ukraine - Reuters.

New interceptor missiles will most likely be manufactured in Germany or another European country where it is safer, with production possibly moving to Ukraine after the war ends, agency sources reported.

Even so, rapid deliveries should not be expected: Germany, which has developed a domestic production chain for PAC-2 interceptors, will not produce the first missiles before early 2027 - three years after signing the agreement with American manufacturer Raytheon. Negotiations on producing the more advanced PAC-3 have not yet yielded results.

Zelensky, after meeting with Trump, stated that a political agreement has been reached that the US could grant Kiev a license to produce Patriot missiles.
