The new mobile Zashchita system will help take out enemy drones.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have the potential to be a force multiplier to be used against an adversary on the battlefield. However, just as attempts are being developed to utilize drones as an offensive weapon, there are now efforts to counter drones.
Last week, the Russian-based Ruselectronics Group, which is part of the state tech corporation Rostec, announced that it has developed a new mobile system, dubbed the Zashchita, to counter unmanned aerial vehicles.
“A mobile counter-drone system that fits into three briefcases has been created,” the Rostec press office told Tass. “The system is capable of jamming drone control within a radius of 2 km irrespective of the time of day and weather conditions, staying invisible and invulnerable to radio countermeasures. It takes no more than 30 minutes to deploy the system.”

Uganda Airlines registers 10% revenue shortfall
February 12, 2021 Passengers inside Uganda Airlines
Uganda Airlines made revenue worth Shs 40 billion from the time it started operations to the end of December 2020. This is according to Cornwell Muleya, the chief executive officer, Uganda Airlines Company Limited.
According to Muleya, the airline carried 77,355 passengers between August 2019 and June 2020, registering a shortfall of 10 per cent from its target of 85,760 passengers. This also meant that predicted income of Shs 31.5 billion was not attained, and instead, the airline generated Shs 25.2 billion. However, the airline made an additional Shs 14.8 billion from 26,394 passengers at the end of December 2020.
The average passenger load factor for the initial period was at 35 per cent but later increased to 47 per cent as the industry struggled to cope with the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The passenger load factor is th
Iran still in crosshairs of U.S. foreign policy and Israeli-Saudi meddling
Towards the end of 2020, former President Donald Trump was said to have been restrained by his advisors from bombing Iran in an attempt to destroy its growing nuclear program. His aides finally were able to dissuade him by explaining that doing so could ignite a conflict that could easily escalate out of control in the dying days of his presidency.

Then in early January, Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iraqi intelligence warned that Israeli agents were planning to attack the U.S. military in Iraq to provide Mr. Trump with a pretext for launching an attack against Iran. Meanwhile, tensions were already high following the assassinations of Gen. Qassim Soleimani a little more than a year ago by the U.S. and of senior Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh allegedly by Israel.

United States (US) President Joe Biden is expected to widely reset US relations with Africa, which his predecessor Donald Trump reduced to a new low. Biden has already reversed a raft of bad Trump decisions around the world, from rejoining the Paris climate agreement to ending construction of the Mexican border wall.
But one of Trump s decisions – a parting shot in December 2020 – will not be so easy to correct. That was his controversial recognition of Morocco s disputed claim to the Western Sahara, in exchange for Morocco s recognition of the state of Israel.
The hapless Western Sahara was apparently just an expendable pawn in Trump s larger policy of persuading Middle East and North African Muslim states to acknowledge Israel. He had already brokered the recognition of Israel by the United Arabs Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan. The last was also a quid pro quo deal in which Trump agreed to remove Sudan from America s lis
