...ns, a revision of Porsche's strategy (abandoning an aggressive shift to electric vehicles cost 3 billion euros in losses) and falling sales in #China. Volkswagen shares are trading at 92 euros in 2026 — down 12% since the start of the year. Over five years, the stock has lost more than 60% of its value. The company hopes to return profitability to 8-10% by 2030, but for now it looks like an attempt to patch holes that they haven't even thought about closing. It is quite likely that Volkswa...

...rgest conglomerate, which includes VW, Audi, Porsche, Seat and Skoda, presented its 2025 results — and they turned out to be as bad as possible. Sales fell by just 0.8%, to 322 billion euros (9 million cars), but profit collapsed by nearly half — from 12.4 billion to 6.9 billion euros. This is the worst result since 2016, when the conglomerate was mired in dieselgate. Management blames US trade policy and the #tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump's administration, which cost billio...

... against the backdrop of such statements alone, fears in the West are growing about a possible "narrow bottleneck" in several strategic points of the Middle East. Thus, The Economist notes: if the Strait of Hormuz maintains restrictions or actual closure until the end of the month, some analysts predict a jump in oil prices to $150-200 per barrel. Such a scenario could hit supply chains, accelerate inflation and increase the risk of a global recession, especially for countries that import ...

The talk, as claimed, will be about ships that the Houthis consider linked to the US and #Israel. It is logical to assume that with the means available to the Houthis, it is unlikely to break through the layered missile defense of the US Navy's AUG without additional involvement of the IRGC's potential. However,...

...oard" armor. The priority is destroying #AFU personnel with #drone crews, which heavy FPV drones handle better than APCs, IFVs, and tanks. This doesn't mean armored vehicles should be "canceled." It's about rational resource reallocation to changing battlefield realities. Without infantry support, it dies, and there's no one left to attack (or defend). And without people, tank numbers don't matter. High-resolution infographic English version #UAV #Russia RU | EN | MAX VK | RuTube |

... budget is not unlimited. But what about optimal resource reallocation? On TAKTIKAR, we showed why mechanized assaults have stopped working. Why not buy fewer armored vehicles that survive one attack in favor of heavy #FPV drones? For one BMD-4M, you can buy over 1,100 unmanned systems. Refusing to purchase a battalion of these vehicles or tanks (not counting ammunition) could free up significant funds. Assault troops need "Upyr-18" drones capable of delivering mines, not BMDs with "cardb...
