The SPIEF has transformed from a place where black caviar is eaten with spoons and escort girls dance into the country's main opposition event this year to a much gloomier event.Putin's Minister of Economy says that the country is on the brink of recession. Gref notes that the economy is worse than expected. Deputy Makarov speaks directly about triubles in the investment climate. And that's not all.For the first time at this level, everything that Vladimir Milov was talking about for weeks is being voiced by Putin's cohorts. Against this background, Putin looks inadequate, who, perhaps, was the only one at the entire forum telling how wonderful everything is.The problems are only growing, and there is simply no way out of them. Money is running out at an incredible speed, there is nowhere to get new resources.The only opportunity looming on the horizon for Russia is the rise in oil prices due to the war between Israel and Iran, but even here, things are not so simple. A short-term rise in prices could lead to an even more serious decline in the global economy - and a sharp drop in oil prices in the long term.This - and much more - is covered in the latest economic report with Vladimir Milov.YouTube channel of Vladimir Milov: @Vladimir_MilovSupport Vlad's work:Patreon: / milov Crypto: http://milov.org/donate.htm /Vladimir Milov on other social media:Telegram: https://t.me/team_milov Facebook: /milov.vladimir Twitter: / v_milov Instaghram: /milov_ruEnglish translation by PrivateerStationOriginal video in Russian: https://youtu.be/Y6uKrm6xgqY--------------------------------------------------Privateer Station on Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/privateer-station-war-in-ukrainePS on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1582435PS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/privateerstationPS on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-privateer-station-war-in-uk-101486106/PS on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5iEdf0Jyw1Y3kN04k8rPibPS on ApplePodcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/privateer-station-war-in-ukraine/id1648603352PS on Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTY0NzQzOS9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkPS on PadcastAddict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4079993PS on PodChaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/privateer-station-war-in-ukrai-4860097PS on Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/show/4546617PS on Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id5162050If you like what we do and would like to support our channel, consider becoming a member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT3qCbfcPbnph7QS3CPBTMQ/joinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/privateer-station-war-in-ukraine--5647439/support.

Discussion Highlights:Demographic megatrends: Population is shrinking and aging across Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe; fertility rates remain low and often below replacement levels. Some Western nations rely on immigration to maintain workforce levels.Economic and fiscal impact: Falling birth rates and working-age populations threaten tax bases needed to sustain pensions, healthcare, and living standards.Policy responses: Hungary's family incentives briefly boosted fertility before rates fell again to ~1.38. Scandinavian social policies helped but haven't reached replacement fertility. Immigration remains essential.Healthy life expectancy: Lifespans have increased significantly but healthy years have not kept pace. Promoting healthy ageing is critical for extending working lives.Political narratives: Demographic anxieties underpin nationalist rhetoric in Hungary and Bulgaria. In Western Europe, aging populations amplify both immigrant integration debates and depopulation concerns (e.g., rural Spain).Ukraine and modern warfare: Judah shares frontline insights: drones, electronic warfare countermeasures, fiber-optic-controlled UAVs, land drones for logistics and medevac, and upcoming AI-swarm tech reshape battlefield dynamics.Ukrainian resilience: On-the-ground mindset is “phlegmatic pragmatism”—facing war fatigue, debate over ceasefire, but determination to adapt.Europe's future: Post-Brexit Britain re-engages with EU; EU enlargement may take a variable-geometry approach. Western Balkans and Ukraine may enter through piecemeal integration rather than simultaneous accession.Guest BioTim JudahA British journalist and author  Tim Judah is a Special Correspondent for The Economist and a longtime commentator on Eastern Europe.

For decades, scientists have relied on radar, storm chasers, and ground-based instruments to study these violent storms. But what if we could send something right into the heart of a developing tornado? Maybe something small, nimble, and packed with sensors? That's the mission behind the OTUS Project.

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, We have 4 stories for you: Executive Order rumors for Drones, Ohio bill to allow Shooting drones Down, Wing and FlyTrex partner, and a successful rescue with a drone.First up, you've probably heard some rumors that President Trump is expected to sign executive orders around drones. First step. close your eyes, breath, and relax. With that said, the orders, which may or may not be signed on Friday, would reportedly include updates about Part 108, Section 2209 from the 2016 Reauthorization Act, Section 1709 from the 2024 NDAA, and potentially include a Department of Commerce final ruling. And none of these things are actually a surprise.Part 108 is the reported name for the beyond visual line of sight ruling that we expect to be coming later this year. Not sure what an executive order would do other than telling the FAA to speed things up. That's a good thing.And finally, the one we know the least about, the Department of Commerce final ruling. We're not entirely sure what this rule will cover, if it will be an NPRM following the ANPRM from a few months ago, if it will cover DJI, or just drones in general, and if it will be a final ruling.As soon as we know more, we'll be posting shorts, with full videos to come.Next up, this week, we've got some eyebrow-raising news out of Ohio. State Representatives Angie King and Ty Mathews are pushing for a federal 'Defense Against Drones Act of 2025.' Get this: the proposed bill, H.R. 1907, would allow homeowners to legally use a shotgun to disable a drone flying within 200 feet above their property. Yes, 200 feet – that's roughly two-thirds the height of a cell tower, a very common altitude for us.Why the push? The lawmakers cite growing concerns over privacy, property rights, and public safety. Representative King pointed to incidents in her district where drones reportedly caused alarm, threatened livestock, and raised cybersecurity fears due to foreign-manufactured components. She said, "The growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has led to serious concerns over privacy, property rights, and public safety, particularly when drones operate at low altitudes over residential and agricultural areas." So, this is their proposed fix for those local issues.For drone pilots, this is obviously a HUGE deal. Next up, Wing and Flytrex are teaming up. These two are usually competitors, so seeing them collaborate is a big deal for our drone industry! They're working together to share an automated air traffic and collision avoidance system. Think of it as an Unmanned Traffic Management, or UTM, platform specifically for their drone fleets.This system is designed to let both Wing, which is owned by Alphabet, and Flytrex, an Israel-based startup with a growing U.S. presence, exchange real-time flight plans and navigation data. The goal here is to make sure their drones can operate safely in the same airspace over Dallas without colliding. The technology will automatically adjust flight paths to prevent drones from being in the same spot at the same altitude at the same time. Flytrex has already completed 200,000 deliveries, and Wing is way up there with 450,000, so they both bring a ton of experience to the table.Shout out to Seattle Mountain Rescue, Great use of the drone to save lives! https://dronexl.co/2025/06/03/wing-flytrex-drone-air-traffic-system-dallas/https://dronexl.co/2025/06/03/drones-aid-in-dramatic-mount-si-teen-rescue/https://dronexl.co/2025/05/31/trump-new-orders-ban-chinese-dji-drones/https://dronexl.co/2025/05/28/ohio-lawmakers-drone-defense-act/

Ivar Aune is the CEO of SiriNor, a company working on an electric jet engine.Yes, you read that right! While most electric aircraft projects aim to power a propeller, SiriNor is going for the very technology that powers most of today's commercial aviation industry.After all, a modern jet engine works by making a turbine spin. But while conventional jets rely on a combustion process that produces very high temperatures, SiriNor aims to replace that bit with an electrically-powered mechanism.The result: cheaper, easier to build engines which are as performing as conventional ones.All of this is still some time into the future, since SiriNor is still, by most measures, a young startup. However, Ivar's team has already tested successfully one of its electric jet engines on the ground and it is aiming to have some certified and commercially-ready models for UAVs and ground-effect-vehicles within the next couple of years.If this sounds ambitious, you haven't heard it all yet, because the ultimate goal is to be able to apply the electric jet engine technology to larger aircraft, potentially even the A320/B737-sized airliners that are the workhorses of today's aviation industry. A rather tall order, indeed, but Ivar, who spend the earlier part of his career in the Norwegian oil and gas industry, has no doubts about the need for the aviation industry to make bold bets if it is to remain, over the next decades, the engine of growth that it has been to this day.So tune in for a fascinating conversation about a truly promising, and rather intriguing, technology that has been, pretty much, kept under wraps until very recently!

High-energy laser (HEL) systems are emerging as a pivotal layer in modern air defence strategies. As threats grow more agile, diverse and frequent – from swarming UAVs to short-range rockets – militaries are increasingly turning to cost-effective, sustainable methods of interception. HEL technology now offers high-capacity, low-cost engagement options that enhance traditional defences and reduce dependence on finite missile inventories.Among the companies advancing this capability is Rafael, which has made HEL systems a key strategic focus within its broader layered defence portfolio.In this first episode of a two-part special series, we talk with Gideon Weiss, Rafael's vice president of business development and marketing, and Dr R, a Senior Systems Engineer in laser systems in Rafael's Land and Naval Systems Division.

Join Colonel Vikrant Shinde and Arindam Goswami in this episode of All Things Policy, where we dive into one of the most transformative developments in modern warfare and aviation: the rise of unmanned aerial systems. Vikrant, a Research Fellow at Takshashila, is working on a research paper on this very subject, which will be out very soon.From their military origins to today's complex commercial ecosystem, drones have revolutionised our airspace - particularly what experts call the "Air Littoral," that critical zone below 10,000 feet where traditional aircrafts now share space with everything from delivery drones to weaponised UAVs.The recent India-Pakistan conflict brought this reality into sharp focus, showing how drones have fundamentally transformed the battlefield. Meanwhile, countries like India are navigating the delicate balance between fostering innovation through regulations like the Drone Rules 2021 while simultaneously developing counter-UAS capabilities to address emerging security threats.The discussion in this episode explores this new aerial frontier - where regulators, military strategists, and technology developers are racing to build systems that can distinguish friend from foe in increasingly congested skies. How do we manage this complex ecosystem? What lessons have recent conflicts taught us about drone warfare? And what does the future hold for airspace security?Join us as we discuss about the technological challenges, regulatory frameworks, and defence strategies shaping the future of our skies.The PGP is a comprehensive 48-week hybrid programme tailored for those aiming to delve deep into the theoretical and practical aspects of public policy.

Despite the fact that Putin's Government increased the planned budget deficit several times during the year, they still did not meet it. In December, everything that had been so diligently hidden under the rug for an entire year came to light.The deficit was a record breaking, and Russia simply cannot afford to spend so much. The liquid part of the National Welfare Fund is almost spent, revenues are not growing, but expenses are increasing several fold.And then there is Trump with his ideas to bring down oil prices. It is impossible to say yet whether he will succeed in his plan, because it will also affect American oil producers, but technically such a possibility exists if the new American president comes to an agreement with OPEC.In general, the Russian economy is not doing well anyway, and if Trump implements his plans, it could accelerate the onset of a serious crisis, says Vladimir Milov in a new economic report.YouTube channel of Vladimir Milov: @Vladimir_MilovSupport Vlad's work:Patreon: / milov Crypto: http://milov.org/donate.htm /Vladimir Milov on other social media:Telegram: https://t.me/team_milov Facebook: /milov.vladimir Twitter: / v_milov Instaghram: /milov_ruEnglish translation by PrivateerStationOriginal video in Russian: https://youtu.be/LLz7SZsx0xQ--------------------------------------------------Privateer Station on Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/privateer-station-war-in-ukrainePS on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1582435PS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/privateerstationPS on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-privateer-station-war-in-uk-101486106/PS on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5iEdf0Jyw1Y3kN04k8rPibPS on ApplePodcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/privateer-station-war-in-ukraine/id1648603352PS on Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTY0NzQzOS9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkPS on PadcastAddict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4079993PS on PodChaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/privateer-station-war-in-ukrai-4860097PS on Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/show/4546617PS on Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id5162050If you like what we do and would like to support our channel, consider becoming a member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT3qCbfcPbnph7QS3CPBTMQ/joinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/privateer-station-war-in-ukraine--5647439/support.

Israeli army detains dozens in occupied West Bank raids Israeli forces have detained around 70 Palestinians in a series of raids targeting homes in the occupied West Bank. Eyewitnesses said Israeli soldiers stormed several homes in the town of Deir Istiya in Salfit governorate. The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that Israeli troops have repeatedly raided Deir Istiya in recent days, blocking the town's entrances and exits with barriers. Israel carries out air strikes on eastern Lebanon "The Israeli military has conducted air strikes in eastern Lebanon. Lebanon's official National News Agency highlighted that Israeli forces continued to violate a ceasefire agreement that went into effect on November 27 last year. Reports indicated that Israeli warplanes bombed areas near the town of Jinta, east of Baalbek." 14 million Syrians will return home within 2 years: Ahmed al Sharaa "The leader of Syria's new administration, Ahmed al Sharaa, expressed optimism that 14 million displaced Syrians would return to their country within two years following the fall of the Assad regime. Speaking to Dubai-based documentary filmmaker and YouTube content creator Joe HaTTab in a video that aired Sunday, Al Sharaa emphasised that Syrians who were forced to flee their homeland are already returning. He highlighted that the revolution has been completed with the regime's collapse and it is time to transition from a revolutionary mindset to a state-oriented one. " Sudanese army regains control of another town in Al Jazirah state "The Sudanese army has announced that it had regained control of the town of Tambul, marking the second area of eastern Al Jazirah state to be reclaimed in the last 48 hours. The army said in a statement late Sunday that with the support of allied forces and popular resistance, it has taken full control of the town of Tambul. Referring to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the army said it has ""cleansed the town of the rebel militia after inflicting heavy losses in personnel and equipment""." Turkish UAVs fly high in African markets "Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have made inroads into Africa, with solutions developed in Türkiye from UAV technologies undertaking new missions abroad. Turkish drone company Zyrone Dynamics, renowned for its expertise in rotary-wing and variable-volume UAVs, has added a significant milestone to its export achievements. The company recently exported its ZD100 and ZD200 rotary-wing UAVs to an African country, where they will play a critical role in missions such as disaster search and rescue operations and the delivery of cargo to vital locations."

Successive reports from the UK parliament since 2022 have highlight the inadequacies of air and missile defences in the UK against a growing threat envelope. Like many European states, missile defence – from UAVs, conventional, ballistic or hypersonic missiles – has been an area that successive governments have underinvested in. Events in Ukraine, Syria, Yemen and Israel make those points with rather startling clarity. Part of the remit that the UK SDR has been charged with is a ‘so what' moment on missile defence. What would good look like? What would it cost? Are we (in the UK and other European states) starting from scratch or is there an existing baseline to build on? One of the global IAMD experts and gurus in such matters is Tom Karako from CSIS in Washington DC. His pragmatism on what can be delivered, what must be defended against, and success looks like is noteworthy. As a finale, Tom offers some metrics of success of any UK announcement of a missile defence capability for the UK that is announced over the coming year.

Scott introduces Steve, the senior vice president of government and industry strategy at OMG, and sets the stage for a discussion on government and industry strategy. Steve's Background and OMG's History Steve provides a brief introduction, mentioning his role at OMG and his responsibilities in government, industry, and university engagement. OMG has been around for over 35 years and has developed standards like the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), which is widely used in various technologies. CORBA is used in numerous devices, including cell phones, laptops, submarines, and satellites, with over 5 billion instantiations worldwide. Scott asks Steve about the process of engaging with government, industry, and universities, and Steve explains the hands-on approach of meeting people and understanding their needs. Government and Industry Collaboration Steve shares his experience in developing software-defined radios and small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the military. He describes how these technologies were used in Afghanistan, allowing special operations personnel to see what was on the other side of a mountain using a laptop and a drone. OMG's standards, such as the Data Distribution Service (DDS), have been adopted by NASA for launching rockets and by the Department of Defense for communication architecture. Steve emphasizes the importance of collaboration with various government agencies, including the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Office of Federal Financial Research. Adapting Standards to Changing Needs Scott inquires about how OMG keeps its standards up-to-date with rapidly changing government needs....

Even though we think of drones and robotic warfare as the coming of science fiction to life, uncrewed aircraft, or UAVs, have been around for over a hundred years. For decades now, drones have been on the frontlines of war, and advanced UAVs are being readied for air-to-air combat. Although UAVs have huge advantages, though, it isn't clear if the age of the manned combat aircraft is done, just yet.

WATCH THE CONVERSATION ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/2yK4Ag_Ca2g As we have just passed the grim one-year anniversary of 10/07, we continue our dedicated series in which we take a longer horizon perspective, asking one guest each week to look back at this past year and the year ahead. If you are listening to this episode on a podcast app, please note that this episode was filmed in a studio and is also available in video form on our YouTube channel.  For the fifth installment of this special series, we sat down with Dr. Tal Becker, who serves as Vice President and Senior Faculty of the Kogod Research Center at Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. Tal was the former Legal Adviser of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is a veteran member of successive Israeli peace negotiation teams and, most recently, represented Israel before the International Court of Justice and played an instrumental role in negotiating and drafting the historic peace and normalization agreements (the "Abraham Accords"). Tal earned his doctorate from Columbia University in New York City, and is the recipient of numerous scholarly awards, including the Rabin Peace Prize, and the Guggenheim Prize for best international law book for his book "Terrorism and the State". Finally, we have received a number of requests for recommendations of organizations in Israel to donate to around this one-year anniversary of 10/07. There are so many organizations doing important work to help Israelis rebuild from the events of the last year — and the ongoing war. This list is by no means comprehensive. It is simply  an opportunity to highlight four groups whose work has moved us and who deserve additional support (we will add additional recommendations in the days ahead):  -IDF Widows & Orphans Organization (IDFWO), an Israeli non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the spouses and children of Israel's fallen heroes. They provide emotional care, financial assistance, educational opportunities, and a community for those affected most by Israel's wars. — https://www.idfwo.org/en/  -Since October 8, Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets, anti-tank missiles, and explosive UAVs at Israeli civilian and military targets in the north. As worries mount, Rambam Medical Center has cared for the wounded and prepared for war. This 1,100-bed medical center in Haifa has transferred its critical medical care to an underground emergency hospital. Rambam's underground hospital – capable of housing 8,000 people — will play a critical role going forward in treating wounded soldiers and civilians; protecting and caring for the needs of medical staff and their families; and protecting and caring for the residents of Israel's Northern Region. — https://aforam.org/    -Leket Israel, Israel's largest food rescue operation, is committed to leading the safe, effective and efficient collection and distribution of surplus nutritious food in Israel to those who need it. To pick just one inspiring example: since October 7th, Leket has committed itself to providing healthy food to the 250,000 displaced Israelis, many of whom have been residing in hotels for the last year. Leket has installed produce stands in hotels across Israel, providing evacuees with a consistent supply of fresh fruit and vegetables, free of charge, which Leket purchases from struggling Israeli growers. — https://www.leket.org/en/   -Kav L'noar's therapy services have provided essential psychological support to communities in the South directly impacted by the war and the October 7th massacre. Their therapeutic interventions are tailored to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges faced by individuals affected by the war, empowering survivors to navigate the aftermath, rebuild resilience, and foster a sense of collective strength. — https://www.kavlnoar.org/israelatwar

If you are listening to this episode on a podcast app, please note that this episode was filmed before a live audience and is also available in video form on our YouTube channel.  For the fourth installment of this special series, we sat down with Amir Tibon, who is an award-winning diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz and the author of the newly released book: “The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel's Borderlands.” You can order Amir's new book here: https://tinyurl.com/4khzaxab Amir is also the author of“The Last Palestinian: The Rise and Reign of Mahmoud Abbas” (co-authored with Grant Rumley), the first-ever biography of the president of the Palestinian Authority.  From 2017-2020, Amir was based in Washington, DC as a foreign correspondent for Haaretz, and he also has served as a senior editor for the newspaper's English edition. He, his wife, and their two young daughters are former residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz but are currently living as internal refugees in northern Israel. His book tells the harrowing story of his family's experience on October 7th as well as the history of Israel's Gaza Envelope communities and of the Gaza Strip.  Finally, we have received a number of requests for recommendations of organizations in Israel to donate to on this one-year anniversary of 10/07.
