RT @ZelenskyyUa: It is worth noting that after their meeting in Moscow, Fico and Putin did not issue joint statements or respond to media questions. They simply cannot say publicly anything about what they discussed in the meeting. They are afraid of the public's reaction.
Moscow provides significant discounts to Fico, but Slovakia pays for them. Such discounts are not free—payments to Russia are made through sovereignty or murky schemes. This should be a matter of concern for Slovakia's law enforcement and special services.
Details about such financing were revealed during a recent meeting of European leaders in Brussels. Leaders observed that Mr. Fico does not want to participate in the common European work on energy independence or seek replacement for Russian gas, but rather wants to assist Russia in pushing American gas and energy resources of other partners away from Europe, implying that he wants to help Putin earn money to fund the war and weaken Europe.
We are losing people as a result of the war that Putin started, and we believe that such assistance to Putin is immoral.
Mr. Fico even refused compensations to ease the transition period and get rid of dependence, meaning it is not a security issue for him. He is interested specifically in the Russian gas and the matter’s worth is 500 million U.S. dollars per year. Other profits come from the oil pipe that runs through the Ukrainian territory and gives another 500 million U.S. dollars per year, which helps Mr. Fico.
That is why his key goal is to deal with Russia, and this is what benefits him. This is indeed a big security issue — both for Slovakia and the entire Europe. Why is this leader so dependent on Moscow? What is being paid to him, and what does he pay with?

🇺🇸 The Department of Defense has awarded @RTX_News a $282 million contract, with $85 million in currently unexercised options, for GBU-53/B "StormBreaker" Small Diameter Bomb II Production Lot 11.
FY25 USAF budgeted procurement is 868 & USN is 280. I assume the unexercised options are for the approved FMS customers, which are noted in the quoted post below.
SDB II unit cost is ~$220,000.

ATACMS. What is it? Why does it matter so much? How many are there? How many will Ukraine get? Every question you could possibly have, answered. It's the thread you've all been waiting for... 🧵 (1/72)

🇷🇺🇰🇵 | Russian soldier with the North Korean Type 73 7.62mm machine gun at a training ground.
He says that the gun is quite heavy, has strange iron sights, and that he wouldn't like to go into combat with such a weapon.

RT @J_JHelin: With the recent Russian advances, two dangerous salients are emerging in Southern Donetsk.
In Velyka Novosilka and Kurakhove, the Ukrainian supply routes are under significant threat.

@RealCynicalFox: NATO already does that, but those requirements are classified.

🇺🇸🇪🇬 The US State Department has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Egypt, of M1A1 Abrams Tank Refurbishment, Support, and Equipment for the conversion of 555 M1A1s into M1A1SA configuration, for an estimated cost of $4.69 billion.
"Egypt is the only country in the world, other than the United States, that produces the M1A1 Abrams. The Egyptian Refurbishment Program will significantly contribute to the flow of M1A1 components and parts from the United States, creating economies of scale and reducing overall unit price of scarce M1A1 parts for the Department of Defense and other US security partners."
The prime contractor would be @GD_LandSystems. "Refurbishment and upgrade will take place at the Egyptian Tank Plant, Cairo, Egypt."
"The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget...
