Russia plans to create separate UAV forces: Putin
Moscow, June 13 (UNI) Russia is currently creating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) forces as a separate branch, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. "Now we are creating unmanned systems forces as a separate branch of the armed forces, and it is necessary to ensure their rapid and efficient deployment and development," Putin said on Thursday at a meeting to review the main parameters of the draft state armament program for 2027-2036. He emphasised that Russia has accumulated good experience in creating such forces. "We know how the enemy acts. But overall, I do not think that we are lagging behind in any way here. Moreover, it seems to me that we have accumulated good experience to establish this branch of the military. This involves personnel training, production, and supply of modern aircraft capable of enhancing the combat capabilities of our armed forces," Putin said. Putin said that up to 50 percent of the enemy's equipment and facilities are disabled thanks to drone operators. "The combat effectiveness of UAV is growing rapidly. They can take out enemy armoured vehicles, communication hubs, transport, and manpower." "Drones are actively used for reconnaissance, counter-battery and electronic warfare, for mining and demining areas. Their effectiveness is constantly growing," Putin noted.

'Everybody hates Russia but loves Germany and Japan': Donald Trump reflects on World War II in talks with Macron and Putin; calls it 'a strange world'
US President Donald Trump took a reflective turn on Thursday, steering a conversation back in time to the days of World War II. In remarks that blended history with surprise, Trump recounted recent conversations with French President and Russian President Vladimir Putin—both of which circled back to one of history's greatest conflicts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Macron is a good man," Trump began, before describing how the French leader told him, 'We are celebrating World War II and our victory.' Trump said he responded with a smirk: "Your victory?"—a remark that seemed to play down France's role in the Allied win, despite being one of the key members of the coalition. He then shifted to Russia. Recalling a conversation with Putin, Trump said the Russian president emphasised the Soviet Union's immense sacrifice in the war. "Russia fought with us in WWII and everybody hates them," Trump quoted Putin as saying, mentioning that the USSR lost around 51 million people during the conflict. "And Germany and Japan, they're fine — someday somebody will explain that," Trump continued. "But I like Germany and Japan too. Everybody hates Russia and they love Germany and Japan… It's a strange world." Trump went on to express confusion and disappointment over what he sees as America's lack of commemoration for its role in the war. "We won World War II and World War I, right? We won them. And yet, we are the only country that doesn't celebrate. Everybody's celebrating and we should celebrate too," he said. During World War II, the United States was a major force within the Allied powers, which included the UK, the Soviet Union (successor - modern day Russia), and France. Together, they defeated the Axis powers -- Germany, Italy, and Japan.
