According to the Missile Defense Project of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the S-400 Triumf (NATO name SA-21 Growler) Missile System was developed during the late 1990s and was first deployed in Moscow in August 2007.

The US openly declares that it seeks to maintain a monopoly over shaping the “international order” following the Cold War and America’s emergence from it as the sole superpower.

For the fourth month now, US Typhon medium-range missile systems have been deployed in the Philippines under the pretext of joint exercises. This projection of US military power in Southeast Asia is unprecedented and is no less intense than during the Cold War. How did this happen, what else is being done by the Washington-Manila alliance and how can it affect the security of the region?

The four-day visit of a Vietnamese patrol vessel to the Philippines began on 4 August. The purpose of this visit is to conduct joint exercises in the waters of the South China Sea. It is worth stressing once again that the water area is one of the most vulnerable zones in the entire geopolitical space.  Moreover, it is on its territory that the current stage of the “Great World Game” is being played out.

We have written many times before about how North Korea is increasing its military capabilities. This process is going on all the time, but today we are going to talk not about tests of new equipment, but about a much more important thing, because it is one thing to test an experimental prototype, and another thing to set up the mass production and equip troops.

According to US media, Washington has approved $20 billion+ in weapon sales to Israel. The modern weaponry includes up to 50 F-15 fighter jets, up to 30 modern medium-range air-to-air missiles, tactical vehicles and a large number of tank and mortar shells. By giving Israel another carte blanche to continue the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, the current Joe Biden administration has made it clear to the world that the US is also a direct participant in the massacre of Palestinians.

Turkish leader Recep Erdogan is condemning Israel for the military conflict in the Gaza Strip – perhaps more than all other leaders of the Islamic states combined. However, Ankara is not moving from words to real deeds. What is the reason for this political approach of Turkey?

In July 2024, Japan sharply intensified its foreign policy in the most important areas, particularly regarding strengthening relations with the countries of the collective West, split into three aspects: US, South Korean and European. Japan has focused on defence cooperation with its allies in both bilateral and multilateral formats (IP4, AUKUS+, NATO, the Seoul-Washington-Tokyo axis, etc.).

India has had a historical and civilizational relationship with the South Caucasus for more than several millennia. In 1992, India recognized the independence of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. In the last decade, bilateral relations between the countries of Armenia and India…

On July 8, 2024, ahead of his visit to the US, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol gave an interview to Reuters, which caused some tension in the Russian expert community. Mr. Yoon said that the future of relations between the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation will depend entirely on Moscow’s actions in relation to military cooperation with North Korea.

Leaders of many African countries are finding the offers of Russia and China to develop bilateral relations without making any political or other demands more attractive than the terms imposed by US-based global financial institutions, accompanied by Washington’s demands related to human rights and democracy.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant demagogically and falsely declared during a visit to Washington that his country does not want war in Lebanon, but at the same time is prepared to inflict “enormous damage” on Hezbollah if diplomacy fails. “We don’t want war, but we are preparing for every scenario,”
