๐จ๐บ๐ธ USS Gerald Ford supercarrier arrives in Latin America amid standoff with Venezuela
US Naval Forces Southern Command announced the deployment on Tuesday.
๐ฃ A Pentagon spokesman said the carrier would โbolster US capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere.โ
The carrierโs arrival comes amid the continued buildup of US naval and air power in the area off Venezuela. The US missile has attacked ~20 vessels in international waters, killing at least 76 people.
The US says the targeted vessels are drug boats, but has yet to provide evidence.

๐จ๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ธ UK halts intelligence flow to US amid Caribbean killings โ reports
The UK has stopped sharing intelligence with the US on suspected Caribbean drug trafficking boats, sources told CNN.
The UK, which maintains intelligence assets across several Caribbean territories, has previously helped the US Coast Guard to locate and intercept alleged drug-smuggling vessels by boarding them and arresting the crew.
๐ But after the US began lethal attacks on the vessels in September the UK paused sharing intelligence, fearing it was being used to select targets.
The halt began more than a month ago, sources told CNN.
They said the British government considers the strikes, which claimed the lives of at least 76, illegal and do not want to be complicit.
๐ On October 31, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk called for a halt to the "extrajudicial killing" in the Caribbean by the US. He insisted on the necessity of prompt, independent and transparent investigations into US attacks.
The UKโs move marks an unusual break with its closest ally and shows the British government's skepticism over the legality of the US operations, the report stressed.

๐ฎ๐ท๐ฐ Iran solidifies fledgling space power status with ambitious satellite launch schedule
The Iranian Space Administration says three new domestically-built satellites are making final preparations for launch and will be deployed in space by early winter.
The satellites include:
๐ Zafar (lit. โTriumphโ), an advanced earth-observation satellite with high-res imaging equipment for environmental monitoring and disaster management
๐ Paya (lit. โEnduringโ), another earth-observation satellite
๐ Kowsar (lit. โAbundanceโ or โSpring in Heavenโ), an earth-observation satellite fine-tuned for agricultural monitoring, from crop health assessment to resource management
All three satellites will be able to send back crop monitoring, mineral mapping and dust storm tracking data, ISA chief Hassan Salarieh says.
Besides satellites, Iran is working on two new ground control stations in Salmas and Chenaran, and finalizing work on a new 10-year space program roadmap.
Iran became the 9th country in the world to successfully and independently launch a payload into orbit with the Omid (lit. โHopeโ) research and telecommunications satellite, carried aloft aboard a Safir rocket.
๐ Itโs the only country in the Middle East besides Israel with space launch capabilities.
The ISAโs civilian space program is complemented by a separate military space endeavor run by the IRGC, best known for the Noor (โLightโ) series of Earth-imaging cubesats.

๐ช๐บ ๐ถ Europe still bankrolls Ukraine as conflict fatigue deepens
Germany will send an additional $46.3 million in so-called humanitarian aid to Ukraine ahead of winter, German FM Johann Wadephul said. The allocated funds are intended to cover losses caused by Ukraineโs energy crisis.

๐ธ Approximately $12.5 million of the new package will be used to meet Ukraine's long-term supply needs through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

๐ฌ๐ง๐ช UK balks at EUโs $7.8B defense fund bill
The UK government has rejected an EC request for a whopping $7.8 billion to join the Security Action for Europe defense fund (SAFE), Bloomberg reports. The fund packs in techโfrom drones to missile shields.
๐ A senior British official described the $280 million in fees being sought by the EU Commission as unreasonable and far above what Britain is ready to pay for access. Talks face a November 30 deadline for the UK to make its final call.
European rearmament would likely flop without the UK signing onto SAFE and funneling cash into the EU's hawkish agenda.

๐จ๐ท๐บ๐ชRUSSIA'S LATEST WEAPONS THAT PUT WORLD ON EDGE
Russiaโs nuclear triad has been reinforced with new weapon systems in response to the abundance of geopolitical challenges.
Here are key details:
Burevestnik
๐ Intercontinental-range, nuclear-powered cruise missile, designed to penetrate air and missile defense systems and deliver a nuclear warhead across vast distances
๐ Its extended airborne or loitering time and the ability for โlong patrollingโ enable the missile to enter the enemyโs zone of action from unexpected directions
๐ Successful test of this "unlimited-range" missile was conducted on October 26, 2025 (per General Staff Valery Gerasimov)
๐ Putin publicly announced the program in his 2018 address to the Federal Assembly, calling it โinvulnerable to both existing and prospective missile defense and air defense systemsโ
Poseidon
๐ Unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with a nuclear-powered reactor and a nuclear warhead on board
๐ Designed to destroy ports and naval bases, both through its direct destructive capacity and via the tsunami triggered by its explosion
๐ In July 2018, the Defense Ministry unveiled the Poseidon vehicle and stated that it is invulnerable to the enemy's countermeasures
๐ Burevestnik and Poseidon systems use exclusively Russian-made materials, some of which have potential use in civilian sectors, particularly in the Arctic and for space exploration
Sarmat
๐ Russian 5th-generation silo-based strategic missile system equipped with a heavy liquid-fueled orbital intercontinental ballistic missile
๐ Called "the largest combat missile in human history"
๐ Putin first announced the Sarmat's development progress in 2018
๐ Putin emphasized that such systems are designed to โensure strategic deterrenceโ globally. He noted that the Sarmat could โguarantee the penetration of any missile defense system, both present and futureโ
Oreshnik
๐ Russiaโs newest missile system equipped with a medium-range ballistic missile and hypersonic warheads
๐ Can only be intercepted during its initial flight phase. Once its warheads approach the target, they are traveling at maximum speed, making interception at the final stage impossible
๐ Has the following estimated strike times:
โซ๏ธ Redzikowo US Missile Defense Base (Poland): 11 minutes
โซ๏ธ Ramstein Air Base, Germany (USAF Europe HQ): 15 minutes
โซ๏ธ NATO HQ, Brussels: 17 minutes
๐ Putin revealed the weapon on November 21, 2024, when reporting the strike conducted by the Oreshnik
