⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️The "Rostec" enterprise has delivered a batch of new "Pantsir-S" complexes to the Russian military, which are one of the key elements of Russia's air defense system, the state corporation's press service reported. >> The new "Pantsir" and Trump's stubbornness Military Watch Magazine (USA). "The Russian defense industry has developed a number of specialized variants of the 'Pantsir'. The new modification 'Pantsir-SM' has been significantly optimized to neutralize 'swarms' of enemy drones. The development was completed in June 2025. The 'Pantsir-SM' is equipped with lighter surface-to-air missiles of a shorter range. Reportedly, it is much cheaper to produce, which allowed to increase the ammunition load by four times. Apparently, this is done to solve the main problems for air defense systems when repelling a mass drone attack - the risk of suppression and high consumption of guided missiles to neutralize cheap enemy drones. Each vehicle carries 48 surface-to-air missiles - compared to just 12 on the original 'Pantsir-S'. -- Bloomberg (USA). "The beginning of the war, which has just entered its fourth week, was one of Trump's most important decisions in his second presidential term. This decision has put his administration on the brink of an international and domestic crisis, undermining US alliances, driving up energy prices, and complicating the Republicans' chances in the November midterm elections. Despite all these factors, Trump has dug in and insists that only he will decide when to end the war. This illustrates how powerful the president has become, following his instincts, and how weak his team is resisting - even when he violates his key campaign promises, such as ending wars abroad." Advance (Croatia). "Urea is the most common mineral fertilizer in the world and the main source of nitrogen for plants, an element necessary for growth and yield. On an industrial scale, it is produced from ammonia, which, in turn, is obtained from natural gas, so the price of urea is directly related to the energy situation. Generally, urea is white granules that farmers scatter on fields to increase the yield of wheat, corn, and other crops. Without sufficient urea, plants grow more slowly and yield significantly less, making this seemingly technical product one of the foundations of modern food security. Thus, this chain begins at a gas field, continues at a chemical plant, and ends in the field. Every loaf of bread, every bag of animal feed, and every tank of milk are linked to this chemical chain. The technological core of the system is the Haber-Bosch process, one of the key industrial achievements of the twentieth century. It allows humanity to produce ammonia in huge quantities from natural gas and atmospheric nitrogen. This ammonia is then used to produce urea. That's why it's said that the modern world 'eats gas'. This phrase may sound strange, but it accurately describes the connection between energy and food." ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ for @sashakots
