EDGE Signs Agreement with PT Pindad for Ammunition Production Line EDGE PT. Pindad (Persero) EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, signed a USD 27 million (AED 99 million) agreement today to supply an ammunition production line to PT Pindad, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise and one of Asia’s leading defence manufacturers. The agreement is for the production of 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm calibre ammunition, and is aligned with the Indonesian Ministry of Defence’s objective to increase local job creation and sovereign manufacturing capabilities. The ammunition facility is scheduled to commence production in 2026.   The agreement is part of an ongoing effort between both countries that aims to increase bilateral trade to USD 10 billion by 2030 under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.  APCO #UAE #EDGE #PTPINDAD #Bilateraltrade #Indonesia

Kind of a big day when a project you're leading is called out specifically in the DPU. #gettingpurposefromwhatyoudo #greendeck #oneteamThales #AJISS #onvacationbutnotcheckedout https://lnkd.in/esR9K8MD

Good day, dear friends! A little bit fell out of social life, the war makes its adjustments for those who live in Ukraine. 😉 #Danube news 12.10.2023 We have all been waiting for the #Sulina administration to increase the number of pilots. So far this has not happened. But! The port of Sulina has increased the number of berths where port control can take place.  It may seem that this will not affect the situation in any way, because the workforce  has not increased. But it didn't. There are usually 5-7 vessels on the lists to enter Sulina. Now 4 vessels of different sizes can pass port control at the same time. Vessels with deadweight more than 10000 and tankers pass port formalities at the roadstead of Sulina. In order to increase the traffic capacity of Sulina, it is not enough just to increase the number of pilots. Infrastructure is needed too. I hope, that the increase of working berths in Sulina is one of the steps to implement the plan to improve the canal operation.

The Russian T-90M tank is Russia’s most modern operational tank. It is essentially a heavily-upgraded T-72 tank.   Of the numerous upgrades that have been carried out, two stick out in this instance; the first is that the ammunition storage in the T-90 is claimed to be much safer than that in the T-72, the second is that the T-90 is fitted with the ‘Arena’ active protection system, specifically designed to defeat incoming anti-tank rockets and missiles.   This video shows an anti-tank guided missile approaching from the right and hitting the T-90 in the rear of the turret. There is an immediate catastrophic detonation and the tank’s turret performs a very acrobatic aerial routine before crashing into the ground.   Clearly, the T-90’s active protective systems did not work and the safer storage of the ammunition also did not work. The explosive reactive armour, whichever version is used in this example, also didn’t work.   That whole series of failures led to this tank being destroyed. So far, in Ukraine, Russia has lost at least 103 T-90 tanks (of all versions). I say ‘at least’ because not all losses are recorded.   https://t.me/BALUhub/7679   #osint #ukrainewar

Simonas Petrulis, the Head of Baltic FEZ, became the president of the Association of Free Economic Zones of Lithuania (FEZ). In 2023 the Parliament of Lithuania (Seimas) allowed the development of the defense industry in the territories of FEZ. S. Petrulis sees great potential for the country's economy and ensures that he will strive to make FEZ’s more attractive not only for international defense industry companies, but also for #green course-compliant #manufacturing, #logistics, and high added value companies.  More in the Comments section.

Teamwork can do wonders (... & can get you cited in big stories) Yesterday, early in the morning, news about the bulk carrier that was attacked by two missiles in the Red Sea had started to spread. Our Global Communications team at Kpler was all over it early enough, getting ship tracking data from the MarineTraffic platform on the vessel's journey. Combining it with data and intelligence from Kpler on the commodity that the ship was carrying, along with further insights and a quote from our colleague Ishan Bhanu on the situation and its potential impact, we were able to get the story on our social media only a few moments after it happened. The result of it? The info from our social media post and Ishan's quote were used in a Reuters article from Jonathan Saul and Nayera Abdallah. This is a perfect example of showing that even under pressure and when being fast is key, teamwork and efficient cooperation across various teams can really make the difference. A special shoutout to Georgios Hatzimanolis for all his help and hard work in order to get this specific story out along with so many other similar cases daily!
