REUTERS/Ahmed Yosri/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 25 (Reuters) - U.S. defense contractor General Dynamics (GD.N) beat Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, as buoyant military equipment demand helped overcome higher operating expenses. General Dynamics-manufactured weapons systems, munitions, and combat vehicles such as Abrams tanks have been essential to Ukraine's operations. UAW members at the company make highly profitable military vehicles, including tanks and light armored vehicles, according to the union. General Dynamics joined peer defense contractors Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) and RTX (RTX.N) to report better-than-expected quarterly results.

The new head of Wagner is likely seen as a "traitor" by his men, per a UK intelligence assessment. AdvertisementAdvertisementRussian President Vladimir Putin has picked someone to lead the powerful Wagner paramilitary group who is likely viewed as a "traitor" by his own men, according to a British military intelligence assessment published Saturday. A Kremlin spokesperson later described Troshev, a veteran of Wagner operations in Syria, as an employee of Russia's defense ministry. As a result, "Many Wagner veterans likely consider him a traitor," stated the Sept. 30 assessment. And that future, it continued — in contrast with the Prigozhin days — will likely entail "greater oversight from the Kremlin."

☆ South Korea defence paper calls North 'enemy', estimates plutonium stockpile at 70 kg

SEOUL, Feb 16 (Reuters) - South Korea released its latest defence white paper on Thursday, describing North Korea as its "enemy" for the first time in six years and reporting an increase in Pyongyang's stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium. The biennial white paper offers a glimpse into the reclusive North's growing arsenal of nuclear weapons and missiles, as well as its conventional military capabilities. "As North Korea continues to pose military threats without giving up nuclear weapons, its regime and military, which are the main agents of the execution, are our enemies," the document said. To beef up its nuclear stockpile, North Korea has continued reprocessing spent fuel from its reactor and possesses about 70kg (154lb) of weapons-grade plutonium, up from 50kg estimated in the previous report, it said. Its 2020 edition said the North was "generally" complying with the agreement, which was sealed on the margins of a 2018 summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and then-South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
