Ukraine may soon receive an unexpected new tool to counter Russia’s relentless Shahed drone attacks, as reports suggest Italy is preparing to transfer SIDAM-25 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns—a Cold War–era system that could find new relevance on today’s drone-dominated battlefield.

Russia appears to be entering a new—and revealing—phase of its tank war: pulling what one OSINT researcher calls its last meaningful reserve of stored main battle tanks, the older T-72 “Ural” and T-72A, and funneling them toward overhaul lines that were built for a very different era of combat, according to OSINT researcher Jompy on February 26.

More armor, more training, and longer commitment: Canada is sending Ukraine over 400 armored vehicles while extending its military mission and tightening sanctions on Russia in a package designed to shape the next phase of the war.

Surging Russian naval aggression across the North Atlantic has triggered the UK’s largest maritime mobilization in decades, protecting key infrastructure and allied sea lanes.
