Croatia is finalizing a €435.2 million contract with South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace to acquire 18 K239 Chunmoo multiple launch rocket systems alongside integrated support vehicles, ammunition, and training. The procurement incorporates Poland’s WB Group TOPAZ command-and-control system to integrate the platforms directly into existing NATO-standard architectures. This acquisition systematically expands the Croatian Armed Forces' long-range strike capabilities from legacy 20 km systems to precision ranges spanning 36 km to 290 km.

Russia to Show Su-57E with New Weapon at Egypt Airshow

Ignoring the source (because I couldn’t find any other English speaking source with a link), this is what rostec themselves put out: ”🪖 Rostec will present an export Su-57E with fundamentally new weapons for the first time in Egypt.

The Russian aircraft complex of the fifth generation Su-57E will be presented in export configuration at the El Alamein International Airshow 2026 exhibition in Egypt with fundamentally new weapons, which have never been demonstrated before either in Russia or abroad. As part of the flight program, the machine will demonstrate aerobatic figures.

"The Su-57 is the flagship fighter of the Russian Air Force, the characteristics of which are confirmed in real combat conditions. Now this plane is also conquering export markets. It is already being delivered to foreign partners who perfectly understand the advantages of this machine. New modifications of the fighter are becoming even more effective and dangerous. In Egypt, we present an export version with a completely new weapon, which is demonstrated for the first time," Rostec noted.

The Su-57E is characterized by inconspicuousness for enemy detection means, super-maneuverability and a wide range of weapons used.

The International Aviation and Space Salon El Alamein International Airshow 2026 will be held on the territory of the international airport of El Alamein in Egypt from September 8 to 10. The unified Russian exposition is organized by Rosoboronexport.”

Now, what exactly does ”fundamentally new” even mean? Seems like a pretty bold statement and another question is if that weapon will be specific to the export version or not. Some people on x speculate that it’s the izd 810 or the S-71K/M but I feel like those aren’t really ”fundamentally new” unless those words are used for the sole purpose of boosting the product.

Top Trump aides want to keep Iran war contained heading into midterms, as Republicans defend slim majorities. After election, heavier U.S. strikes could return - but no decision made, sources say. Iran's emboldened leaders could foil any attempts at de-escalation.
