🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 In recent weeks Russia has begun deploying North Korean-manufactured 107mm multiple rocket launch systems. In this week's video we take a look at the Type 75 and how its being used! Link in the post below 👇 #Ukraine #UkraineWar #NorthKorea #MLRS #SALW #Artillery

An unusual seizure in Ukraine: a German MG-3 machinegun. Authorities found the weapon in the residence of a 47 yo man accused of selling weapons on the internet @nicholasmarsh.bsky.social @smallarmssurvey.bsky.social vl.npu.gov.ua/news/volynsk...

While #Chile has made progress in incorporating a gender perspective into laws and policies, #GBV and #firearmscontrol are still treated separately. With @HumanasColombia , our new research paper discusses how both issues could be addressed: www.smallarmssurvey.org/resource/cri...

Last week we were delighted to join #EMPACT Firearms and @ec.europa.eu in Madrid, presenting our #Ukraine project during the launch of #FortifyProject and discussing initiatives on enhancing cooperation and aligning efforts to combat #firearmstrafficking in the #EU

The Russians report a new Ukrainian printed improvised anti-personnel landmine labeled “PVP” (ПРП). An electronic fuze has a 10 minute arming delay and a 30 day self destruct, but the sensors are unknown. Chopped steel rod fragmentation elements are visible in an epoxy matrix.

European authorities take down large trafficking network that smuggled AK pattern rifles, grenades, and ammo from the Balkans. www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/...

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

This is nonsense

A Ukrainian 3D printed FPV warhead with an electric detonator and a concave copper plate to form an EFP (Explosively Formed Projectile). The EFP should penetrate through any of the various types of stand-off armors or cages that are now ubiquitous to impact the target vehicle.

Another downed Ukrainian heavy drone was equipped with an anti-tamper device. It was revealed as an incendiary device intended to destroy the drone’s electronics if the Russians tried to salvage it. An electronic “Jonik” fuze connects to an electric match in some gunpowder. 1/

🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 This week I take an in-depth look at how 3D printing has evolved the design of Russia's DIY anti-drone rounds which enable AK74s to fire BBs at #drones Link to article/video in next post 👇 #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #SALW #UkraineWar #AntiDroneWeapons

A Russian 3D printed double (anti-Mavic drone) net launcher is light enough to be carried by…a Mavic. Mavic on Mavic warfare continues to intensify.

We are honored to see our nuclear weapons estimates used in this article www.ft.com/content/7fed... But it would be nice to see credit from ⁦‪@FT‬⁩ and others that use them without saying where they got them from. Here is the link for next time: fas.org/initiative/s...

20,000 “Sphere” fragmentation FPV munitions were supplied to drone units after a sponsorship by the Ukrainian UAV manufacturer DeViRo with Steel Hornets, the maker of the printed munition casings. These munitions can be fuzed for airburst or impact.

Following President Trump's claims that Joe Biden's pardons were void for being signed with autopen, we spoke to legal experts who told us that there is nothing in US law which would invalidate pardons signed by autopen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tucker Carlson, who increasingly appears to be descending down a rabbit hole of wild conspiracy theories, endorses Candace Owens' deranged claim that Brigitte Macron, the French president's wife of 18 years, is actually a man.

Ukrainian EODs equipped with motorcycles destroy a Russian UMPB D-30SN glide bomb downed in a field. This is a GLONASS and inertial guided glide bomb with a 90km range. The EOD uses a TM-62P3 anti-tank landmine with delay fuze for the demolition. 1/

A complementary story in the NYTimes: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Apparently beating Imperial Japan was woke. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland have stated they plan to withdraw from the Otowa Convention, which banned the use, stockpiling and production of anti-personal land mines. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

"Russia is conducting an escalating and violent campaign of sabotage and subversion against European and U.S. targets in Europe led by Russian military intelligence. The number of Russian attacks nearly tripled between 2023 and 2024." @csis.org www.csis.org/analysis/rus...

A CJNG drone dropped an explosive device on a Knights Templars member in Michoacán.

This is new: “A source with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News that Trump is heavily focused on Canada in conversations with aides, who believe he is completely serious about making the country the 51st state—even with Trudeau out of power” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Literally days ago a judge slammed a very similar executive order as blatantly unconstitutional. And he just... goes and issues another one against a different law firm, again over direct personal animus.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Russian PFM-1 anti-personnel landmines are deeply camouflaged before dropping by drones on Ukrainian pathways. The small “Petal” is already notoriously difficult to notice among many types of ground cover, but these objects will extraordinarily difficult to discern.

How many people who work at the Heritage Foundation don't have postsecondary education? Do you think they are telling *their* kids to skip college in order to have more babies? It's always someone else's sacrifice.

What's good for the goose...

Agencies from Social Security to the IRS store sensitive data on millions of Americans. Here's what the government knows about us – and what's at risk as DOGE seeks access to the data.

Insightful new report by @smallarmssurvey.bsky.social: Open Markets: Documenting Arms Availability in Afghanistan under the Taliban www.smallarmssurvey.org/sites/defaul...

After curtailing environmental protection and climate-related sciences to make it easier for industry to pollute and harder to document it, the Trump business regime halts air pollution monitoring at more than 80 US embassies and consulates. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Tucker Carlson claims that Ukraine has been selling "huge quantities of American weapons on the black market", which he says have been bought by Hamas, Mexican drug cartels and the HTS in Syria. This is a claim pushed by the Kremlin for nearly three years, but there's no evidence for it.

Recent #Taliban efforts to tighten controls on arms and ammunition have not affected the types of weapons available in informal markets in #Afghanistan, our new #BriefingPaper finds, based on almost three years of field investigations. bit.ly/3F6TZ1N

"Just a big mess": Musk's team claims credit for saving $53.7 million for "canceling" a federal contract that in fact was just for $144,000 and was actually completed 20 years ago. @Fahrenthold.bsky.social @sangerkatz.bsky.social @jsvine.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.

It’s hard to think of a more disgraceful act than this: Here is the US ambassador to Ukraine - IN UKRAINE under brutal attack from Russia as it has been for over three years - translating flip-flop Rubio’s praise for Trump trashing Zelensky in the White House. 🤮

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

NYT: “.. In recent months, Voice of America’s parent organization .. has opened human-resources investigations into Voice of America journalists for reporting on criticism of Mr. Trump .. according to several employees.” #TodayInPyongyang 🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“Why don’t you say thank you”
