Edition No213 | 03-08-2025 - Russia's new missile, Oreshnik—the "hazelnut" makes a comeback. Why now, and should we take these threats seriously? Putin has announced “mass production” of the missile complex, teased deployment in Belarus, and claimed it can “dual” U.S. defenses. But how real is it? What threat does Europe face? And how much is psychological propaganda and bluff?On August 1, 2025, President Putin announced alongside Belarus's Lukashenko that “Preparatory work is ongoing, and most likely we will be done with it before the year's end”, saying the first Oreshniki and their systems have entered service. That same day regime supporting outlets reported “serial production of the latest Oreshnik medium‑range missile system is under way,” with range up to 3,425 miles (5,500 km), able to strike Europe and parts of the US. (New York Post)Analysts remain skeptical. Oreshnik appears based on the RS‑26 Rubezh—functionally repackaged, not radically new. As one expert put it, it was "a series of old technologies ... put together in a new way"—perhaps only 10 % of which was new. (Wikipedia) U.S. officials emphasize it's still experimental, and Russia likely only has a limited number of them.So, while mass‑production is claimed, in truth it may mean only a small initial batch—and more psychological signalling than industrial capacity. Of course, the choice of warhead is just as important, in terms of what impact the munition can have. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: * Euronews (Aug 1, 2025, deployment announcement)* AP News (deployment in Belarus)* Business Insider (mass-production claims & analysis)* Wikipedia (Oreshnik detailed history & capabilities)* RUSI and RIAC commentary (technical & strategic analysis)* Foreign Policy on submunition threat* Le Monde on Dnipro deployment* Kyiv Independent / Zelensky parts warning* The Guardian on missile escalation context* The Sunday Times via Times (UK vulnerability gap)----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Putina Trumpove hrozby nezastavili. Rusi v noci zo stredy na štvrtok podnikli ďalší masívny útok na Kyjiv a zabili či zranili pri ňom desiatky ľudí vrátane detí. Jedna z rakiet zničila 9-podlažný panelák, tlaková vlna zase vyrazila okná v jednej z detských nemocníc. A doma zas máme novú podivnú kauzu Roberta Fica, ktorý tvrdí, že Briti ovplyvňovali voľby v neprospech Smeru a v prospech Progresívneho Slovenska. Na jeho tlačovke zaznelo aj mnoho neprávd a klamstiev.Sobotným Dobrým ránom vás sprevádzajú Zuzana Kovačič Hanzelová a Jakub Filo.Otázky do nasledujúcej epizódy Dobrého rána sobota nám zasielajte na e-mail dobrerano@sme.sk, ideálne vo forme hlasovej správy.

Epizóda 124: Rusi masovo vraždia ukrajinských civilistov a vyhrážajú sa obsadením Paríža. Ukrajina odoláva, cena je žiaľ vysoká. Na Blízkom východe stále nie je mier i keď Izrael je pod silným medzinárodným tlakom. Kambodža a Thajsko pristúpili na prímerie.
Nearly two decades since the US last stationed nuclear weapons here – the bombs are back on UK soil. And with the RAF acquiring new fighter jets to deploy them - it's a signal NATO is toughening its nuclear posture against Russia.

Tri leta in pol od začetka napada Rusije na Ukrajino. Včeraj bi morala biti parada ob dnevu ruske vojne mornarice. Zakaj je odpadla? Poslanci Dume so odšli na poletne počitnice, navadni Rusi so si bržčas oddahnili. Mnogi Rusi si kljub sankcijam in vojni še vedno lahko privoščijo počitnice v tujini.

Na Ukrajine prebiehajú najväčšie protesty od začiatku vojny. Rusi sa tešia, no medzitým im Ukrajinci prerušujú činnosť letísk. Boje na Blízkom východe pokračujú a prímerie s Hamasom je stále v nedohľadne.
Tensions in the Indo-Pacific are testing US power and alliances. What does this mean for regional strategy and for the UK? In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by Dr. Kori Schake, senior fellow and the director of foreign and defence policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and Dr Philip Shetler-Jones, senior research fellow, RUSI, to examine whether the Trump administration has a coherent Indo-Pacific strategy or is simply reacting to China's growing influence. As Washington debates its role in Asia amid military overstretch, defence industrial challenges, and diverging views on alliance priorities, the UK faces key questions about its own Indo-Pacific tilt. With British carriers deploying to the region and AUKUS under scrutiny, this episode explores whether the US has the will and means to lead, how regional actors are responding, and what all this means for UK strategy in an era of intensifying great power competition.

Ultimátum od Donalda Trumpa zrejme prinútilo Vladimira Putina vrátiť sa k rokovaciemu stolu. Je to však úprimná snaha o mier alebo len strategická hra o čas? Už v najbližších dňoch sa má v tureckom Istanbule uskutočniť nové kolo rokovaní medzi Ruskom a Ukrajinou. Ako vysvetľuje novinárka Stanislava Harkotová, Kyjev má tri hlavné priority. Prvou je ďalšia výmena vojnových zajatcov, druhou návrat ukrajinských detí unesených do Ruska. Treťou a strategicky najdôležitejšou požiadavkou je príprava na možné stretnutie na úrovni lídrov. Ukrajina sa totiž dlhodobo snaží dostať k rokovaciemu stolu priamo Vladimira Putina.Podľa Harkotovej však tento formát potvrdzuje, že o zásadnom posune v konflikte nemožno hovoriť. „Pokiaľ by sme sa mali baviť naozaj o rokovaní o konkrétnych veciach, ktoré by súviseli s mierovým urovnaním, tak to by si vyžadovalo trochu iný formát a aj by pri tom stole sedeli iní ľudia,“ uzatvára povedala.

Kým českí, slovenskí a ukrajinskí policajti v ukrajinskom Dnipre chytili človeka, ktorý mohol minulý rok realizovať kybernetické útoky na naše školy, koncovka akcie nás v dôsledku komunikácie stála povesť.

Open warfare has crossed the Middle East, and in its wake came an erosion of the norms of statesmanship and the power of international law to avert conflict. What are the implications for deterrence, diplomacy, and the future of UK, US, and regional strategy? In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by RUSI experts Burcu Ozcelik and Michael Stephens to assess whether the Middle East is on the cusp of fundamental transformation or simply entering another volatile chapter. With the region rocked by Hamas' October 2023 attacks, a devastating war in Gaza, direct military strikes between Iran and Israel, and renewed US intervention, long-held assumptions about deterrence, regional power balances, and the limits of escalation have been upended. As Prime Minister Netanyahu meets President Trump in Washington, the episode explores how far the region has shifted and whether latest confrontations mark the end of 'grey-zone' conflicts and the emergence of a new order shaped by overt state-to-state warfare. Has Iran's deterrence crumbled? Can Israel claim strategic success? Are Gulf states and the US recalibrating their roles? And what does all this mean for the future of Gaza, the Arab-Israeli process of diplomatic normalisation, and UK foreign policy?
Last week, a clip of BBC Ukrainian reporter Myroslava Petsa went viral, after President Trump asked a series of questions about her personal story during a press conference at the Nato summit. Myroslava tells us what was going through her mind at that moment, and what it has been like to cover the conflict while her husband fights for Ukraine.We also hear from Matthew Savill at RUSI about the intensification of nightly Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian towns and cities. Can Russia sustain this level of aerial pressure? Is Ukraine's effort to target manufacturing hubs actually effective? And why is President Zelensky so keen to buy new Patriot missile defence systems?Today's episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.

Out early due to the fast moving situation... The ceasefire announced by Donald Trump has seemingly brought an end to the conflict between Israel and Iran. Yet with the ceasefire almost immediately broken by both sides according to the latest reports, will the truce last? And what can America and allies do to hold peace in a fragile Middle East? Gavin Esler is joined by Dr Julie Norman, professor in politics and international relations at University College London and associate fellow at RUSI, to discuss whether the conflict has merely paused, or if perhaps lasting peace is possible. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by Incogni, the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.

As Lenin apparently never said, ‘There Are Decades Where Nothing Happens and Weeks Where Decades Happen'. We are clearly living through the latter. Arthur and Jason attempt to untangle the latest: from the Iranian attack on the US airbase in Qatar to Trump's declaration of forever peace to end what he is cleverly calling the 12 Day War.Arthur and Jason rally in violent unity for Mega Ordering -- whether you advocated for Obama's ‘Iran Deal' or supported Trump's tearing it to shreds, whether you love Benjamin Netanyahu or think he is an evil genius, whether you supported Trump's Beautiful Bunker Busting against Fordow or see it as an illegal and reckless gamble, all sane centrists must now advocate for Western unity in ending the wars in Gaza and Iran. The power balance of the Middle East has been fundamentally reconfigured. It is uniquely favourable for peace. As Arthur and Jason try to Order the Disorder, they discuss if the Europeans can help get us there and why Bibi appears hellbent on spoiling his own achievements.Producer: George McDonaghSubscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links:Iran fires missiles at US base in Qatar, Trump calls for peace: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-weighs-retaliation-against-us-strikes-nuclear-sites-2025-06-23/Watch How The Iran Israel War Could End - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fymBJbsBDfI Arthur's excellent substack Time to learn about Iran's separatist movements: https://substack.com/home/post/p-166505834 And our Substack, Were the Iranians forewarned? why are the markets so placid?

The United States has just pulled off one of the most audacious bombing campaigns of the 21st century — attacking Iran's nuclear sites in a stunning show of military might. The Pentagon is calling it a surgical strike. Donald Trump? He's calling it a “obliteration.” Either way, it's one hell of a moment in global history.But this didn't come out of nowhere. This is part of a full-blown war that started just ten days ago, when Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran. Since then, it's been chaos. Missiles flying back and forth, and now — the world's most powerful military dropping bunker-busting bombs with chilling precision. And while Israeli officials are tight-lipped about regime change, Trump certainly isn't. Last night on Truth Social he posted: “If the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be regime change?” Then he added “MIGA” — yes, Make Iran Great Again. Subtle, it is not.To cut through the spin and propaganda, Venetia speaks with Dr Shany Mor a Senior Research Fellow at the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, Darya Dolzikova from RUSI and co-host Roland Oliphant.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/20/replace-khamenei-leader-of-iran/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/22/trump-stealth-bombers-mission-obliterate-iran-nuclear/https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

Starmer's war zone: the Prime Minister's perilous positionThis week, our new political editor Tim Shipman takes the helm and, in his cover piece, examines how Keir Starmer can no longer find political refuge in foreign affairs. After a period of globe-trotting in which the Prime Minister was dubbed ‘never-here Keir', Starmer's handling of international matters had largely been seen as a strength. But as tensions escalate in the Iran–Israel conflict, global events are beginning to create serious challenges. They threaten not only to derail the government's economic plans but also to deepen divisions within the Labour party, particularly between the leadership and much of the parliamentary party. Tim joined the podcast alongside The Spectator US editor Freddy Gray. (02:08)Next: is it a mistake to try and topple Iran's Supreme Leader?Justin Marozzi asks if we are seeing ‘an ominous mission creep in Israel's blistering attack on Iran'. Donald Trump has been calling for the ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER' of Iran, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been directly addressing the Iranian people. The regime may be unpopular, but how realistic is the expectation of regime change? Marozzi joined the podcast alongside Michael Stephens, a Middle East expert at the defence and security thinktank Rusi. (19:07)And finally: should we embrace feeling shame?Stuart Jeffries reviews a new book by the French philosopher Frédéric Gros in the books section of the magazine this week. A Philosophy of Shame: A Revolutionary Emotion argues that shame should be embraced, rather than avoided. So, in an era of ‘cancel culture' and public shaming – not to mention some of the shamelessness exhibited by social media influencers – can ‘shame' be a good thing?

Starmer's war zone: the Prime Minister's perilous positionThis week, our new political editor Tim Shipman takes the helm and, in his cover piece, examines how Keir Starmer can no longer find political refuge in foreign affairs. After a period of globe-trotting in which the Prime Minister was dubbed ‘never-here Keir', Starmer's handling of international matters had largely been seen as a strength. But as tensions escalate in the Iran–Israel conflict, global events are beginning to create serious challenges. They threaten not only to derail the government's economic plans but also to deepen divisions within the Labour party, particularly between the leadership and much of the parliamentary party. Tim joined the podcast alongside The Spectator US editor Freddy Gray. (02:08)Next: is it a mistake to try and topple Iran's Supreme Leader?Justin Marozzi asks if we are seeing ‘an ominous mission creep in Israel's blistering attack on Iran'. Donald Trump has been calling for the ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER' of Iran, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been directly addressing the Iranian people. The regime may be unpopular, but how realistic is the expectation of regime change? Marozzi joined the podcast alongside Michael Stephens, a Middle East expert at the defence and security thinktank Rusi. (19:07)And finally: should we embrace feeling shame?Stuart Jeffries reviews a new book by the French philosopher Frédéric Gros in the books section of the magazine this week. A Philosophy of Shame: A Revolutionary Emotion argues that shame should be embraced, rather than avoided. So, in an era of ‘cancel culture' and public shaming – not to mention some of the shamelessness exhibited by social media influencers – can ‘shame' be a good thing?

Proti zmenám ústavy sa podpísali aj konzervatívni právnici, vrátane bývalých ústavných sudcov a bývalých kolegov Viliama Karasa. Ústavná právnička Lucia Berdisová a šéf Amnesty International Slovensko Rado Sloboda tvrdia, že novela ústavy oslabí ochranu ľudských práv bežných Slovákov. Aj keby ste vyhrali súd v Štrasburgu, znižuje sa šanca, že sa na základe toho domôžete svojich práv na Slovensku.

Israel struck military and nuclear targets in Iran overnight in a major escalation of hostilities in the Middle East has begun further strikes on Friday. Iran has vowed retaliation though President Trump has warned Iran and encouraged the Iranians to continue negotiations over their nuclear programme. Further talks had been due to take place this weekend. What's Israel's objective? And does this underline the unpredictability of geopolitics, at a time when the UK has pledged significantly more money for defence? Patrick Gibbons speaks to James Heale and Michael Stephens, associate fellow at RUSI. Plus: updates on assisted dying and the government's plans for welfare.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

As simmering tensions between Israel and Iran explode in a barrage of missiles and drones, Krishnan Guru-Murthy talks to journalist Jonathan Rugman and RUSI's Middle East Security expert, Burcu Ozcelik about whether the conflict might escalate.After a number of Iranian nuclear scientists and military leaders including the head of the country's powerful Revolutionary Guard were killed, Iran has retaliated with 100 drones fired into Israel with more promised.So what will Israel's next move be with Prime Minister Netanyahu saying strikes could continue 'for as many days as it takes?'
At different engagements throughout the month, NATO allies will meet in Brussels and the Hague to discuss Ukraine and defense spending – with Trump's team putting pressure on the Europeans to up their spending to 5% of GDP. But with the Americans wavering on the alliance as a whole, and these unrealistic spending targets: Can NATO survive?To find out, Arthur Snell speaks with Sten Rynning, professor and director of the Danish Institute for Advanced Study, University of Southern Denmark, and author of ‘NATO: From Cold War to Ukraine, a History of the World's Most Powerful Alliance'. The duo discuss the origins and evolution of NATO, the significance of Article 5, NATO's complex relationship with France, and the challenges faced during the Afghanistan mission. Plus: the contentious issue of NATO's eastward expansion in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Alliance's role in maintaining Order in the Post-War era. And as they conclude the discussion, they explore the future of European security architecture, the importance of America's role in NATO, and – to Order the Disorder – the need for a cohesive European defense strategy.Producer: George McDonaghSubscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links:Get Sten Rynning's book, NATO: From Cold War to Ukraine, a History of the World's Most Powerful Alliance - https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/nato-from-cold-war-to-ukraine-a-history-of-the-world-s-most-powerful-alliance-sten-rynning Watch The Paradox of the Anti-Semitic Boulder attack - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7zAO_5CtfE Check out our Bookshop.org affiliate site behindthelines and please sign up for my substack at arthursnell.substack.com and/or follow me on Bluesky@snellarthur.bsky.social.

The Kremlin has been using freelancers to carry out dirty deeds across Europe with increasing frequency — and those freelancers can be anyone. The strategy is as sinister as it is effective. It's also a law enforcement nightmare. But do our governments have the will to tackle the issue, and the leadership qualities that will be required to fully mobilise resources, and be frank with electorates? ----------Elisabeth Braw is a senior fellow at the Atlantic council.

More than three years since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, warfare has been transformed by drones. Reports have stated that 70 percent of combat casualties in the war in Ukraine are now caused by drones, while the British security think tank RUSI calculates drones account for 60 to 70 percent of damaged and destroyed Russian systems. Ukraine, forced to innovate to hold off Russian forces, claims to be capable of making 4 million drones this year, Russia says it made 1.4 million in 2024 – using them, along with Iranian made systems, on the battlefield and in near constant attacks on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure. To discuss the ethics, capabilities and impact of drones on the way humans fight, Gavin Esler is joined by Dr Ulrike Franke, senior fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by Incogni, the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.

Rusi už na Ukrajine stratili takmer miliónov vojakov a Ukrajine vyšiel náročný plán. Husársky kúsok. V rámci operácie Pavučina udrela na štyri ruské vojenské letiská, tisíce kilometrov za frontovou líniou a úspešne zničila 12 lietadiel. Kým Ukrajinci ničia Rusom vojenské ciele, Rusko na Ukrajine cielene zabíja civilistov. V noci na dnes v meste Pryluky zabili Rusi dronmi päť ľudí, medzi nimi aj ročné dieťa.V Istanbule sa medzitým skončilo ďalšie kolo rokovaní ukrajinskej a ruskej delegácie, bez podstatných výsledkov.Aké bude reakcia Ruskov na zničené lietadlá a útok a ďalší nečakaný útok na Kerčský most? Aká je situácia na frontových líniách, môžu Ukrajinci chystať nejakú novú protiofenzívu? A prečo mierové rokovania neprinášajú posun, stojí to všetko na telefonátoch lídrov? O čom hovorili tentokrát?Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s bezpečnostným analytikom a odborníkom na obranné plánovanie Vladimírom Bednárom.

Ruskí agresori presviedčajú svet že chcú mier, no odmietli bezpodmienečné tridsaťdňové prímerie a ďalej zabíjajú civilistov na Ukrajine. Masívny ruský útok raketami a dronmi na Ukrajinu zabil 12 ľudí, desiatky ich zranil. Donald Trump s Putinom stráca trpezlivosť a Kongres prichystal nový zákon o proti ruských sankciách. Európa vrátane Slovenska zas prijala 17-ty balík sankcií a hovorí o ďalšom.Má vojna ešte diplomatické riešenie a môže k nemu prispieť aj nový pápež? Prečo Rusi hovoria o mieri, no pritom ďalej vraždia nevinných ľudí na Ukrajine, nechcú v skutočnosti naspäť studenú vojnu a ruskú sféru vplyvu vrátane Slovenska? Prečo Únia stojí za Ukrajinou, no pritom hovorí o obnove ciel na jej tovary? A čo sa okrem výmeny zajatcov dosiahlo na rokovaniach v Turecku? Čo na to Slovensko, keď náš premiér radšej lieta do Moskvy za Putinom ako do Bruselu za našimi spojencami?
