โ๏ธ๐ง๐ป๐บ๐ฆโก๐ท๐บ โ The An-124-100 transport aircraft of the Ukrainian airline Antonov Airlines have been busy in recent days: the Ruslan is currently transporting heavy weapons from Norway.
An interesting intelligence sign: it seems that another "Special Unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" numbering 30-50 thousand people is being actively pumped with NATO weapons. It may well be that it is being prepared for a new attack on Russian territory, or in the event of unfavorable developments at the front, it will be possible to parry a Russian offensive or support the front in the most threatened places with its help.

โ๏ธโก๐ฉ๐ช GERMANY โ "Deputy CDU/CSU parliamentary group leader Norbert Rรถttgen is pushing for a mandatory element in the new military service. Following Defense Minister Boris Pistorius's statement that Germany needs up to 60,000 additional soldiers to achieve the new NATO planning goals, the CDU politician is increasing the pressure on the SPD minister. "The most important task now is to create the legal prerequisites for a military service model this year that ensures that the Bundeswehr becomes a security guarantor for Germany and Europe," Rรถttgen told the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND), adding: "The coalition will create a qualified, attractive military service. We are initially relying on voluntary participation. However, we cannot afford any risks and must therefore also have a Plan B with a mandatory element." The financial prerequisites for the increase have already been created with the lifting of the debt brake on defense spending."

๐ต๐ฑ๐ฑ๐น๐ฑ๐ป US Media: Poland, Lithuania and Latvia Plan to Strengthen Naval Forces to Counter Russia in Baltic Sea
๐ต๐ฑ Poland's defence minister has announced plans to order three to four submarines for the navy by the end of 2025. The planned purchase, carried out under the Orca programme, is considered urgent because the country's navy relies on a single Soviet-made submarine, the Kilo-class ORP Orzel, whose outdated technology and equipment make it incompatible with the requirements of modern naval warfare. Poland plans to receive โฌ20 billion from a newly created EU fund for the purchase of defenses.
๐ฑ๐ป Latvia and๐ฑ๐น Lithuania joins forces to buy multi-purpose attack boats from ๐ซ๐ฎ Finnish shipbuilder Marine Alutech. As part of the Future Multipurpose Attack Craft (CFMAC) program, the shipyard is to develop and deliver combat vessels based on the Watercat M18 armored modular boat design.
Once completed in 2026, Lithuania will incorporate these two multi-purpose attack boats, equipped with Spike NLOS missile launchers and a remote-controlled heavy machine gun, into a coastal defense battalion. It is emphasized that the boats are specially designed for shallow-water operations, allowing them to carry out missions in areas such as the Curonian Spit, half of which belongs to ๐ท๐บ Russia, the second - ๐ฑ๐น Lithuania.
Overall, Lithuania will carry out a phased modernization of its Navy between 2030 and 2037, which will involve the acquisition of new multi-purpose offshore patrol vessels that will be equipped with advanced equipment.
