Ukraine's Defence Ministry codifies Volyniaka bomber drone
Source: Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, as reported by Mezha Media, a technology and IT news platform within Ukrainska Pravda's holding company
Details: The ministry stated that Volyniaka is a bomb-dropping hexacopter designed to destroy various enemy targets. The first modifications of this drone have been deployed at the front since the early months of the full-scale war.
Quote: "They have destroyed hundreds of pieces of enemy military equipment, dugouts and concentrations of enemy personnel. They can carry out combat missions in any weather, at dusk and in strong winds. The latest versions have significantly improved specifications."
Details: The ministry noted that the unmanned system consists of a control panel, pilot goggles, a signal repeater and a reusable hexacopter equipped with six powerful brushless motors. The UAV is specially designed to transport cargo under challenging combat conditions.
Quote: "It can drop munitions on enemy targets with enough destructive power to destroy heavily armoured targets. In addition, the Volyniaka can perform logistical tasks by delivering essential equipment to frontline positions."
Background:
In April, the ministry codified the domestically produced B-1 unmanned aerial system – an ultralight strike drone for attacking enemy personnel, vehicles, armoured targets and military facilities both at the line of contact and in the rear.
In May, the ministry approved the use of the strike drone system White Wolf by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which includes a UAV with a digital combined camera, a control and monitoring station, a set of power batteries, and more.
At the beginning of June, the ministry codified the Chief-1 unmanned aerial system. This drone is designed to strike enemy aircraft or personnel using a module that fires shotgun shells.

These overbought stocks could take a dip after the market's record gains
Stocks including Northrop Grumman and Advanced Micro Devices appear overbought after this week's rally, according to one widely used technical metric. The three major U.S. indexes notched strong gains this week, powered by a slew of positive earnings reports and developments on trade deals. The S & P 500 rose 1.5% in the period after recording five record closes this week alone and notching 14 total record closes this year. The 30-stock Dow gained roughly 1.3% this week, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1%. Stocks that popped during this winning run could be on risky ground moving forward, though. Using the CNBC Pro stock screener tool , we identified the most oversold and overbought stocks this week by their 14-day relative strength index. An RSI above 70 suggests that a stock is overbought and could see a decline, while a result below 30 indicates a stock could be oversold and may be due for a boost. Take a look at the overbought names below, which were each up at least 5% this week. Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices made the list this week with an RSI of nearly 77. Shares rallied 6% this week. Earlier this month, the company said it will soon resume shipments of its MI308 artificial intelligence chips to China, once license applications are approved by the U.S. Commerce Department. Defense and aerospace company Northrop Grumman jumped 9.8% this week, putting the stock in the overbought group with an RSI of about 73. Northrop on Tuesday posted a second-quarter revenue beat along with a guidance raise for the full year. CEO Kathy Warden said on a conference call with analysts that the company believes revenue from its B-21 stealth bomber could potentially exceed 10% of total revenue "in the future." Other stocks that have high RSIs and could see their shares dip include Block , Newmont and GE Vernova . GE Vernova shares rallied about 12% this week on strong second-quarter results, which led analysts from firms including Citi and Bank of America to raise their price targets on the stock. International Business Machines , Texas Instruments and Philip Morris International are considered some of the broader market's most oversold companies, per their high RSIs. IBM shares slid more than 9% this week after the tech company's second-quarter software revenue came in below expectations, even though its overall revenue and earnings topped analysts' forecasts, per LSEG. The stock has an RSI of around 26. Tobacco giant Philip Morris fell on the back of lackluster results, which missed second-quarter revenue expectations. Wall Street was also disappointed by the company's Zyn nicotine shipments. Shares dropped almost 10% this week, and the stock had an RSI reading of about 29.

Trump official says administration will change visa, citizenship tests
The new head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said in an interview with The New York Times Thursday that the Trump administration would make changes to the visa system for skilled workers and look to make the test for U.S. citizenship more difficult. 'The test as it's laid out right now, it's not very difficult,' said Joseph Edlow, who assumed the role in mid-July. 'It's very easy to kind of memorize the answers. I don't think we're really comporting with the spirit of the law.' The first Trump administration instituted a version of the test with an expanded pool of questions that was later rolled back under former President Biden. Edlow told the Times that the government planned to return to a version of the test from the first term. Edlow also told the Times that the administration would seek to modify the H1-B visa program for skilled workers by prioritizing people who will earn higher wages. 'I really do think that the way H-1B needs to be used, and this is one of my favorite phrases, is to, along with a lot of other parts of immigration, supplement, not supplant, U.S. economy and U.S. businesses and U.S. workers,' Edlow said. The program was a flashpoint among Trump's allies in December, before the president took office. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy faced backlash from the MAGA base after they defended the use of the program to hire highly skilled engineers. Alongside an aggressive push to deport immigrants, Trump also took aim at several avenues for legal immigration at the beginning of his term. A phone app run by Customs and Border used during the Biden administration to register asylum claims now allows immigrants to register their departures from the United States if they choose to self-deport.

XRP Gets Its Own Treasury Company: Look Who's Building A $20 Million XRP Reserve

(OTCQB:NMHI), a publicly listed vertical farming technology firm, on Wednesday announced plans to allocate up to $20 million towards a new corporate treasury strategy centered around Ripple's (CRYPTO: XRP). The company stated that it will use proceeds from a recently approved equity financing arrangement to fund the purchase of XRP tokens, with aims to treat the cryptocurrency as a long-term strategic reserve. The decision makes Nature's Miracle one of the first publicly traded non-financial companies to adopt XRP, currently the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, as a treasury asset.

According to the release, the funding will initially come from capital raised under a registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Further XRP purchases may be financed through a mix of equity issuances, structured financing, and strategic placements. CEO James Li attributed the move to increased regulatory clarity following the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 18, which has encouraged broader corporate participation in the digital asset space. 'We see the huge potential of XRP as it improves the speed and reduces the cost of cross-border payments,' Li said. Nature's Miracle joins a growing list of companies engaged with XRP. Financial institutions such as Banco Santander (NYSE:SAN) and American Express (NYSE:AXP) have already incorporated Ripple's payment technologies into their operations. In 2023, Japan's SBI Holdings announced the use of XRP in its internal treasury operations, while other blockchain-native firms have used XRP for cross-border liquidity and remittance flows.
