MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in footage published by his ministry on Saturday that the country's production of military drones had ramped up in the past year, though certain technical issues still needed tackling. Russia has made extensive use of drones in the course of the almost two year-long military campaign in Ukraine, but has often had to rely on cheap Iranian-made Shahed drones. "The production capacities that have been created allow us to complete most of the tasks that we are faced with today," Shoigu said during a tour of drone production facilities in the Volga river region of Udmurtia. He was shown telling a meeting of officials that issues related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in drones and electronic warfare still needed to be resolved.

Federația Moldovenească de Biatlon a naturalizat încă 2 sportivi ruşi. Cei doi nu au concurat pentru reprezentativa Federaţiei Ruse la nivel de seniori, de aceea pentru transferul lor nu a fost necesar acordul Uniunii Internaţionale de Biatlon şi a forului de profil din ţara lor. Ivanova și Makarov nu sunt primii schiori naturalizați în ultima perioadă. Ultima biatlonistă care a fost naturalizată și a obținut rezultate remarcabile a fost Natalia Levcenkova. În 2006, ea s-a clasat pe locul 8 la Olimpiada de iarnă de la Torino, iar peste doi ani a devenit campioană europeană.
