Russian reconnaissance ship spotted near British waters: UK Defence Secretary makes statement.

The development of a joint British-German long-range missile within the framework of the "Trinity House" defense partnership is gaining momentum. British Defense Minister John Healey confirmed active technical work on the missile, which will have a range of over 2000 kilometers.

Germany is recording an increase in drone flights over strategic facilities, but the military does not have the right or ability to shoot them down. The country is only beginning to restore its anti-drone defense, which was disbanded in 2010.

The German and British defense ministers sign an agreement to strengthen defense cooperation. The document provides for joint exercises, weapons development, and countering russian submarines.

Russian media reported that cruise missiles attacked the Crimean bridge, with enemy air defense allegedly shooting down at least 12 missiles, and the center of Sevastopol was cut off from electricity.

The Pentagon has signed a $3. 4 billion contract with Boeing for the purchase and delivery of 17 P-8A maritime aircraft to Canada and Germany by March 2028.

An air alert was declared in russian-occupied Sevastopol, and air defense systems were spotted on the peninsula amid reports of explosions in Crimea.
