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...

Critical Gaps: Firearms and Gender-based Violence in Chile According to UNODC’s Global Study on Homicide 2023, Chile remains one of the safest countries in Latin America. Homicide rates have increased, however, as have gendered crimes that victimize women and...

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...

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.

I want one.

The angle of the photos isnt great for IDs but I do see at least a couple Yugoslav M52P3s, which have been smuggled to - and seized by authorities in - Europe on multiple occasions

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.

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.

Status of World Nuclear Forces - Federation of American Scientists Despite progress in reducing nuclear weapon arsenals since the Cold War, the world’s combined inventory of nuclear warheads remains at a very high level.

We are honored to see our nuclear weapons estimates used in this article www.ft.com/content/7fed...

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.

Were Biden's pardons signed with autopen? President Trump claims 'many' of Biden's pardons are void because they were signed automatically and not by hand.

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.

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.

Trump's quest to conquer Canada is confusing everyone Canadians and Republicans alike are confounded as President Donald Trump increasingly links a trade war to his push to annex America's northern neighbor.

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.
