Good news for Israel as THIS European country decides to purchase Iron Dome air defence system, not Germany, France or Italy, name is...
Iron Dome missile shield New Delhi: In a significant development amid the intensifying Russia-Ukraine war, a big European country has decided to acquire the much-talked about Iron Dome air defence system of Israel. For those unversed, the Iron Dome air defence system of Israel is a mobile all-weather air defense system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells. In the recent development, the southeastern European country named Romania has decided to purchase the famous air defence system. As part of a broader strategy to enhance national security, Romanian Defence Minister Ionuț Moșteanu has confirmed that the contract for the SHORAD-VSHORAD system is scheduled to be signed in the autumn of 2025, a report by Defence Industry Europe said. Why is Romania buying Iron Dome air defence system? 'These are defensive missile batteries that we don't have, and we need them. If I were to give an example, when we see images from Tel Aviv when the Iranians attack and we see the Iron Dome, that is SHORAD-VSHORAD, and it protects Tel Aviv. It will protect us as well. Whether it's airports, military bases, or, God forbid, we need to defend our cities', the Bulgarian minister was quoted as saying by the report. Speaking to public broadcaster TVR, Moșteanu, the Bulgarian Minister had said that the military procurement currently accounts for nearly 30% of the national defence budget of Bulgaria and Future purchases, including short-range missiles and corvettes will also be made. Bad news for Turkey? 'There is no Black Sea strategy without Turkey. It is the strongest. We will have to take these steps, these discussions, and it will be in the national defence strategy, there will be a Black Sea strategy,' the minister added. Israeli PM Netanyahu nominates US President Trump for Nobel Peace Prize In a significant development after US President Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for dinner at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee nominating US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Israeli Prime Minister also claimed that he had personally handed a copy of the nomination letter to Trump during their dinner at the White House. (With inputs from agencies)

PSG's symbolic victory: Winning over French hearts
Usually, Vincent Simonneaux only talks about Stade Rennais – nothing else. In Rennes, the 62-year-old is known as the outspoken host of "Pleine lucarne," a weekly show on local TV station TVR that covers everything about the local football team. But on a Monday in late May, before taping the show, the journalist pulled a chair into a corner of the studio and agreed to discuss Paris Saint-Germain, which is set to play in the Champions League final against Inter Milan on Saturday, May 31, in Munich, Germany. "Before, I never watched PSG's European matches. I couldn't care less. But this year, something is happening. The way people look at this PSG, which actually plays good football, has changed. There's more tolerance now, even a sort of goodwill," analyzed Simonneaux. So, on Saturday night, the Rennes native will be in front of his television to watch the Parisian team coached by Luis Enrique. Of course, the surge of emotion from a PSG goal will never match the thrill of seeing his own team score, even in the most ordinary match. Still, Simonneaux wants to see the Parisians overcome the Milanese.

10 of the fastest accelerating used cars for around £25k we found this week
Advertisement One of the very last swashbuckling, petrol-swiggin' Jags ever made. And yes, we know that's a sad thought. But you know what isn't? This pre-facelift is available now for £24.5k with less than 57,000 miles run up on its rampant 542bhp supercharged V8. Plenty of life left in it still, then, and we needn't remind you of that soundtrack… 0-62mph: 4.2s Advertisement - Page continues below Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 (W205) Speaking of soundtracks, here's a car that also has a lot to say: the biturbo V8 C63. That AMG's decision to four-pot the latest generation received so much backlash is telling of the sort of impact the W205, and its predecessor, had. Get a shift on in this 2019 example, and you'll hit motorway speeds almost as quickly as you can read out its name. 0-62mph: 4.1s You might like TVR Tuscan Speed Six (Mk1) There is a very real argument to be had about the world taking TVR for granted when it was around. The Cerbera, Griffith, Sagaris and Tamora are all spectacular in their own way, but the Tuscan Speed Six might be our favourite of the lot. Its design still puts most modern roadsters to shame, and beneath the plump bonnet sits a wicked 4.0-litre all-natural six-pot that's *claimed* to top out at 185mph. One hundred and eighty-five . 0-62mph: 3.9s Advertisement - Page continues below Oh yes you can. In fact, here's one for less than £21,000. The C7 in Avant form is a glorious all-rounder. The reasons are simple: it'll take the kids to school in supreme comfort, have no issues swallowing a fresh Christmas tree (and an army of barbells), and it's fast. Like, really fast. 0-62mph: 3.9s Up until this point, it's all been about acceleration through raw, unadulterated force. So let's switch things up with a second-gen Exige, which has a manual gearbox and all three optional factory packages equipped. The result is a car which weighs close to 900kg and changes direction like a cheetah in pursuit, with the icing on the cake being an acceleration figure of… 0-62mph: 3.9s Porsche Panamera Turbo S (970) A face only a mother could love, but there's no taking away from the Panamera's numbers: 542bhp, 553lb ft and a vmax of 190mph. Besides, the interior is pretty sweet on this example, and it rides on air suspension with Porsche's Dynamic Chassis Control, so comfort should be second to none. 0-62mph: 3.8s Audi RS7 (first generation) Another high-mileage Audi that's loaded with mechanical tech, such as cylinder deactivation, torque vectoring and a self-locking diff. You can even adjust the ride height by as much as 20mm on this RS7, and there's thick 390mm brakes to reverse the catapulting effects of that 552bhp twin-scroll, twin-turbo V8. That's more power than the current M3, by the way. 0-62mph: 3.9s Advertisement - Page continues below Want 600bhp and TVs for rear-seat passengers? This F10-gen M5 ticks those boxes and more, with other standout features including a Harman Kardon audio system and a sunroof. Since it's a 'Comp' spec car, it also gets a blacked-out grille and exhausts to give it more flavour. C'mon, it's an M5. What else needs to be said? 0-62mph: 3.9s Bentley Continental GT Supersports Here sits a big, single-owner Bentley that would've cost at least £163k when new. Yours now for less than one seventh of that amount. 0-62mph: 3.7s Advertisement - Page continues below Wildcard: Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Yes, we know this Giulia Quadrifoglio is closer to £30k, but consider this: a new one will set you back almost three times as much. It's not even covered 60,000 miles yet, and as a thing to get in and drive, this chisel-cheeked, perfectly proportioned Alfa is nothing short of magical. Bloomin' belissima, as we said (multiple times) during our review. 0-62mph: 3.9s See more on Used cars

A V8 Maserati cult classic for less than £20k? Here's how to bag a 3200 GT
You can have a flutter on the horses. Chance some money on shares. Take a bet on an election. But none of these approach the sustained gamble of buying a used, highly strung performance car whose random tantrums can replicate the Southern Rail experience with massive extra expense. You could try a V10 BMW M5, with its reputation for occasionally chewing its own engine. Experience the will-it, won't-it, sod-it starting problems of Mazda RX-8s. Or embark on your very own product development programme by attempting to turn a TVR reliable. But none of these has the glamorous allure of a used Maserati 3200 GT, nor the same capacity for occupying your mind with thoughts of what repairs/maintenance/preventive jobs you must do next, how much money you can spare for them and whether you'll complete the journey that prompted these musings in the first place. Like almost every old car with a following, there are non-franchised specialists with sensible prices and if the Maserati forums are to be believed, a much deeper understanding of these cars than official dealers. All of which makes this somewhat unloved Maserati more of a temptress. As does a twin-turbo, 32-valve, 365bhp V8 that will deliver you 5.1sec scorches to 62mph and a 174mph workout for the fuel pump. There's sumptuous luxury too, the 3200 flaunting enough leather to supply a Moroccan souk for a day, rich hides sleeving most of the cabin and sometimes even the ceiling. You face a sextet of classy, blue-faced dials, check the time from an ornate clock and sink your feet into luxuriant carpet. Even if you must wait for the AA, this is a pretty pleasant place to do it. And then there are those boomerang taillights, these curving stripes of variegated light unique to the GT and a flourish that has tempted many a buyer across the financial line. The 3200's subtly voluptuous body was Giorgetto Giugiaro's work, its only oddity a roofline that turns curiously turret-like from certain angles. The rest is sheer Italian class, and as a bonus, the rear half of its cabin will just about house a couple of adults. Who can push if necessary. So what about the drive? Well. The figures say it's fast, and the early drive-by-wire throttle and enthusiastic turbos will have you surging about like an amateur if you aren't delicate.
