Russia To Establish "Drone Development Centre" & "Robotic Complexes"
Russia's defence ministry will set up a science and production centre for drones and "robotic complexes," Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on April 20, according to the ministry.Shoigu was inspecting a testing range for firearms and drones in the Moscow military district, the defence ministry said.The conflict in Ukraine has been characterized by drone deployment of unprecedented scale, with thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles used to track enemy forces, guide artillery and bomb targets.The tiny, inexpensive FPV (first-person view) drone has proved to be one of the most potent weapons in this war, where conventional warplanes are relatively rare because of a dense concentration of anti-aircraft systems near the front lines.At the testing range, Shoigu was shown firearms for tackling such drones as well as a combat quadcopter designed to set up mines.

Historic Trump criminal trial to hear opening statements | First Thing
Jury to consider testimony related to $130,000 payment from Trump fixer Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Plus, Louisiana’s flagship university lets oil firms pay to influence its research
Good morning.
Donald Trump’s historic hush-money case is due to begin in earnest on Monday with opening statements that mark a momentous day in US history.
What other legal woes does Trump face? Three other criminal cases: federal charges related to the January 6 insurrection and his handling of classified documents, and state-level charges in Georgia for allegedly attempting to undermine the 2020 election results. However, the hush-money case is likely the only one to come to trial before the presidential election in November.
How significant would sanctions be? Very – it would be the first time the US government has targeted an IDF unit.
What is the latest from Israel? Israeli military intelligence head Aharon Haliva has resigned over the Israeli military’s failure to prevent the 7 October attack.

The Venezuelan military announced that it had acquired the CM-90 missile, the export variant of the Nasir Anti-Ship Missile.

The new missiles have been stationed at the “Agustín Armario” Naval Base in Puerto Cabello. The acquisition of the missile demonstrates the growing bromance between Iran and Venezuela. The purchase may have followed Maduro’s assertion in 2020 that it would be a “good idea” to look into buying missiles from Iran. Watch the video to find out more.

Oman Hamas’s New Political Base? Palestinian Group Seeks New Home As Qatar Reassess “Mediator” Role
Hamas’s political leadership is looking to move from its current base in Qatar, the Wall Street Journal reported on April 20. The move by the Palestinian movement comes as US legislators build pressure on the Gulf state to deliver on cease-fire negotiations.

US Deploys ‘CHAMP’ Missiles Capable Of Penetrating Bunkers, Obliterating Iran's Nuclear Facilities
The US Air Force is said to have deployed missiles that could destroy Iran's nuclear facilities without causing any fatalities, the Daily Mail reported.

These missiles can be used for a range of scenarios, including knocking down the electronics of Iran’s nuclear facilities.The development comes amid the latest dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. On April 19, Israel carried out an airstrike against Iran in response to Tehran's missile and drone attack. Israel fired three air-launched ballistic missiles during the attack on Iran, NBC News reported, citing officials. As a result of the “limited” retaliatory strike on sites in Iran, explosions were reported near the city of Isfahan, home to Iran’s Natanz nuclear reactor.

Russia, TajikIstan Troops Stage Counter-Terrorist Drills, Deploy Tanks Against Mock Enemy
Troops from Russia and Tajikistan on April 18 completed several days of joint exercises in the Central Asian country to rehearse scenarios for cross-border incursions by militants or illegal armed groups.Tajikistan shares a long border with Afghanistan, which is home to a branch of Islamic State. The militant group claimed responsibility for an attack that killed at least 144 people at a concert hall just outside Moscow last month.The Russian Defence Ministry released a video of the drills, in which attack helicopters, drones, multiple launch rocket systems, howitzers and tanks were deployed in desert and mountain terrain against the mock enemy.It said the objectives included "destroying terrorist gangs," and the exercises incorporated lessons learned by Russia's military from the war in Ukraine.Russia and Tajikistan are both members of a security alliance of former Soviet states, and Russia maintains a military base in the country.The exercises demonstrated the importance both sides attach to joint military cooperation, even as last month's concert attack - the deadliest in Russia for 20 years - has threatened to strain their relations.Nearly all the suspects so far arrested by Russia are nationals of Tajikistan, although Moscow, without providing evidence, has said it believes Ukrainian special forces were ultimately behind the massacre. Kyiv has strongly denied that.President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia, which has several million workers from Central Asian countries including Tajikistan, needs to review its handling of immigration.Tajikistan has rejected a claim by a top Russian security official that Ukraine's embassy in the Tajik capital was recruiting mercenaries to fight against Russia.

“Malfunction” Or Ukraine Strike? Russia Loses Tu-22M3 Bomber | EU Chief Attacks Trump On Aid Share
Ukraine said that for the first time since Russia's invasion, it had shot down a Russian long-range bomber used to launch cruise missiles. The warplane, a Tu-22M3, was downed in Russian airspace, 300km from Ukraine’s border, said the main intelligence directorate of Ukraine's defence ministry. The aircraft was downed after it took part in a long-range air strike that killed at least nine people in the central region of Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine claimed. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence said the plane was returning to its base in Russia after having fired missiles at Ukraine overnight.

Russia Defence Minister Shoigu Hails Booming Tank Production Amid War
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on April 19 that the country was ramping up manufacturing of tanks and heavy flamethrower systems, but more work was needed to increase production of tank protection equipment.Shoigu's ministry published a video showing him touring a tank factory in the Siberian city of Omsk and meeting workers, whom he praised for exceeding production targets."The Omsk plant is fulfilling the program - I can say it is even over-fulfilling the program," Shoigu was shown telling officials. "The issues and tasks that we decided on during our last visit have almost all been resolved."Building new tanks is a necessity for Russia because of heavy equipment losses in the first two years of the war in Ukraine. The International Institute for Strategic Studies said in February that Russia had lost more than 3,000 tanks there, the equivalent of its entire active inventory before the war, and was having to pull old ones out of storage to replace them.Shoigu ordered factory heads to increase production of tank protection equipment and said beefing up supplies to tank repair brigades was a key area of focus."Now we need to significantly increase the additional kits that we need to put on those vehicles that are in combat," he said.Shoigu's visit comes as Russian forces are pummeling the strategically important Ukrainian town of Chasiv Yar with artillery, drones and air strikes. Kyiv says Moscow wants to take the town by May 9, the date when Russia commemorates the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.Omsk personnel told Shoigu that the factory had increased production of "Solntsepek" heavy flamethrower systems by 2.5 times and that the next shipment of a new model of the T-80BVM main battle tank was ready to be sent to the front.Factory heads told the defence minister they had hired an additional 1,200 staff since last year and were working around the clock in two shifts to expand production capacity.Shoigu also spotlighted the production of anti-drone systems. Kyiv has mounted frequent drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure since the start of the year, hitting some major oil refineries across the world's second-largest oil exporter and sending up oil prices.

"Few Quadcopters, No External Attack" Iran Claims, Netanyahu's Minister Slams "Lame" Israel Response
Tehran claims the drones shot down by Iran's air defence systems over the city of Isfahan were launched from the country’s territory. Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace spokesperson Hossein Dalirian said “the range [of these drones] is very short, undoubtedly from inside the country”. An analyst told state TV that mini drones flown by "infiltrators from inside Iran" had been shot down by air defences in Isfahan. Meanwhile, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is under fire for a social media post that appeared to confirm the Israeli attack on Israel.
