The Ukrainian army has published footage of an agricultural drone of an unknown model delivering a BAD.2 robot dog. Earlier, the Ukrainian army received 30 BAD.2 robot dogs produced by the British company Brit Alliance. The BAD.2 robot dogs are used by the 28th Brigade for cargo delivery and reconnaissance. The BAD.2 military robots are equipped with heat-resistant camouflage from the German company Concamo, which makes them less noticeable to thermal imagers. BAD.2 robots reach speeds of up to 15 kilometers per hour, operate within a radius of 3.5 kilometers from the operator, and have a working time of up to five hours. The cost of BAD.2 robot dogs, depending on the modification, ranges from 4 to 8 thousand euros.

Azerbaijan has unveiled its first Fireforce air defense system, equipped with a combat laser and designed to combat drones. The Fireforce laser system can be mounted on light armored vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. The Fireforce laser is equipped with 30-kilowatt sources, which allows it to effectively destroy targets at a distance of 1,000 meters. The laser demonstrated the ability to burn through, presumably, a 15-mm steel sheet. It is noted that the greatest efficiency of the laser will be achieved when used against small and light drones. The drone guidance system is unknown, and no radars are visually visible. The laser wavelength is 1064 nm. The cooling system is liquid. A more effective 50-kilowatt laser system is expected to appear in the near future. The weight of the entire Fireforce air defense system is about 900 kilograms.

France aims to send French-made fighter jets to Kyiv in the first half of next year, Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu said.

"Mirage 2000s could be flying in Ukraine in the first half of 2025," he told Sud Ouest in an interview published late Monday.

Earlier this year, President Emmanuel Macron pledged to give Mirage 2000-5 jets to the war-torn country. Ukrainian pilots are already flying General Dynamics F-16s donated by European countries including the Netherlands and Denmark.
The French are tweaking their jets to make them more suitable for the war in Ukraine, Lecornu added. Mirage 2000s were originally designed to focus mostly on air-to-air combat.

"The aim is to equip them with air-to-ground combat capabilities. And to reinforce their electronic warfare system. But most important of all is the training of pilots and mechanics, which continues in Nancy," the French minister said.

The exact timetable of the deliveries will depend on how the training is going.

Both Macron and Lecornu have repeatedly refused to disclose how many warplanes would be sent to Ukraine.

Dozens of soon-to-be-replaced Australian Abrams tanks will be sent to Ukraine under a $245 million military support package to bolster the war-torn country's fight against Russia's invasion.

More than a year after Kyiv first expressed interest in the aging M1A1 fleet, and months after Australia rejected a request to donate its grounded Taipan helicopters, the Albanese government has confirmed it will now gift 49 of the American-made tanks.

Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy, who is attending a NATO defence ministers meeting in Brussels this week, will brief his Ukrainian counterpart directly about the latest support package.

"We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in their fight against Russia's illegal invasion," Mr Conroy said while in London, where he's meeting members of the UK government before travelling to NATO.

"These tanks will deliver more firepower and mobility to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and complement the support provided by our partners for Ukraine's armoured brigades — Australia has been steadfast in our support for Ukraine."

"As we face a challenging geo-strategic environment, it is important that we continue to work together with our partners around the world to deter aggression and coercion, and protect the global rules-based order."

The CEO of the German military company Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger, announced the start of work in Ukraine, the first plant for the production of German IFV Lynx. It is worth noting that many experts doubt this, since in the current situation, opening a plant is quite risky. Perhaps the plants are located in neighboring countries. According to Papperger, the second military plant will also start working soon. The production of the first ten Lynx IFVs is planned to begin at the end of this year. Rheinmetall also plans to open a plant for the production of gunpowder, ammunition and air defense systems. Earlier, it was reported that a joint Ukrainian-German enterprise Rheinmetall was opening to repair IFV Marder 1A3 and Leopard 1A5 tanks.
