Russia is building military plants across the country in three shifts, satellite images show.
@cxemu
has discovered noticeable changes in the territories of Russian military plants with the help of satellite images. Here are a few examples provided by the journalists:Kazan Aviation Plant:
Strategic bombers such as the Tu-22m3 and Tu-160, which Russia uses to launch missiles at Ukraine, are built and repaired at this plant.
Back in 2018, construction of a new large hangar began on the site, but it accelerated in 2022 and was almost completed this year. According to military experts, strategic bombers can also be repaired and modernized in this facility.
Irkutsk Aviation Plant:
The profile of this enterprise is the repair and production of Su-30 fighters of all modifications. In the period from 2019 to 2021, a hangar with access to the airfield appeared on the territory of the plant, and the construction of another, similar facility is being completed already this year. Such facilities, according to aviation expert Khrapchinsky, can be used to repair civilian aircraft like the Sukhoi Superjet and fighters like the Su-30.
Dubnensky Machine-Building Plant and Kronstadt:
On the companyâs territory in the city of Dubno, Moscow region, among others, the Raduga Machine-Building Design Bureau is located, producing such missiles as the Kh-22, Kh-55, and Kh-101.
In 2021, construction of a large building began here, and it has been completed this year. This is a new private factory for the production of Russian UAVs, owned by the company Kronshtadt (the company is associated with the Joint-Stock Financial Corporation Sistema of Russian oligarch Yevtushenkov). The companyâs profile is the production of military drones under the Orion, Helios and other brands, with various modifications - from reconnaissance to attack drones.
The World Bank warns that an escalation of the latest Middle East conflict could send global commodity markets into âuncharted watersâ and predicts a surge of up to 75 percent in oil prices in its worst case scenario.

Multiple news outlets report that the United States and Finland are nearing a deal to sign a Defence Co-operation Agreement to broaden and deepen military cooperation between the two countries.
Both Yle and Helsingin Sanomat reported that the contract could be ready for signing at the civil servant level as early as this week. It would then pass to the government and president for approval at the political level.
HS writes that its sources say the deal would give America greater flexibility in using Finnish territory than in neighbouring Norway, for instance.
It would also allow the US military to use Congress-mandated funds for the construction of military infrastructure in Finland, and allow US soldiers to arrive at shorter notice for training and exercises in Finland.
The note was handed to Belarusâ chargĂŠ dâaffaires ad interim Yaroslav Khmyl over a statement by Pavel Muraveiko, the first deputy state secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, which was published in the Vechernyj Minsk newspaper on October 24. Muraveiko stated that Lithuaniaâs restrictions on the cross-border movement of goods constituted âeconomic aggressionâ that could be fought with arms.
The Israeli Defense Forces took responsibility for the strike, saying the blast killed a Hamas official who the IDF claimed was one of the leaders of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Honestly, if that discourages China from trying to do anything shady or openly warlike towards Taiwan, itâs all good.
