🇬🇧🚩 London raises the stakes: Britain prepares its industry for "wartime production pace"
In September, the United Kingdom published its new "Defence Industrial Strategy" — essentially, a plan for the total mobilization of its military-industrial complex. The main goal: to make the defense sector a "growth engine" for the entire economy, not just a recipient of budget funds. The 112-page document also contains concrete steps to modernize the approach to national defense issues. We have highlighted interesting theses from British analysts on modern approaches to national defense:
1. Top priority — "Innovation at the pace of war"
▪️British thesis: whoever implements technology in the troops faster wins.
📌Action: creation of UK Defence Innovation (UKDI). This is a new structure with an annual budget of $544 million and special powers. It was given carte blanche to "quickly assess the usefulness of innovations" and reallocate resources to ❗️bypass the bureaucracy of standard Ministry of Defence procedures. In other words, a separate, flexible, and financially independent structure was created, responsible solely for the rapid search, implementation, and scaling of innovations. By 2026, 10% of the equipment procurement budget will be allocated to new technologies (AI, drones, autonomous systems).
2. Segmented procurement
▪️Thesis: the speed of decision-making cycles is a resource just like money.
📌Action: the British are radically changing procurement logistics by dividing them into three segments with strict timeframes:
▫️Large platforms (frigates, tanks, aircraft): goal — reduce contract conclusion time from 6 to 2 years.
▫️Modular upgrades (communications, sensors, armaments): goal — 1 year to contract.
▫️Rapid implementation (drones, software): goal — maximum 3 months to contract.
3. Industry as a battlefield
▪️Thesis: during combat operations, enemy aggression is directed not only at troops but also at industry, supply chains, logistics, and enterprise personnel in the rear.
📌Actions:
▫️Regular conduct of military games (exercises/scenario rehearsals) with industry. The army and industrial enterprises learn to jointly repel strikes on logistics and critical productions. This topic is so relevant in the current realities for 🇷🇺 Russia that we will analyze it in more detail in a separate post.
▫️Investments in industrial resilience. $8.16 billion in ammunition production during this parliamentary term, including $2 billion in a "continuous" ammunition production line + construction of at least 6 new ammunition factories.
▫️Creation of an analogue to the American "Defense Production Act". That is, providing authorities with a mechanism to compel civilian enterprises to sign contracts or fulfill orders deemed necessary for national defense.
4. Focus on small and medium businesses, private capital
▪️Thesis: breakthrough technologies often originate in startups, small companies, teams (⚡️ note: and also in garages/bunkers of skilled individuals).
📌Action: creation of a "small business office at the Ministry of Defence." Its task is to help small companies obtain contracts and access financing. Creating clear and fast "lifts" for small tech companies into the state defense order system. Not only government contracts but also assistance with private investments.
5. Nuclear shield
▪️Thesis: despite the rapid development of new types of weapons, nuclear deterrence remains a priority.
📌 Action: $20.4 billion investment in the national nuclear warhead production program.
✨ London is preparing for a protracted war and open confrontation, betting on the speed of implementing new technological solutions and increasing the resilience of its industry. It is fair to note that reforming approaches to national defense in peacetime is always easier. But the very fact of such preparation by the country 🚩 NATO and the presence of current and still unresolved problems in Russia raised in this document cannot be ignored.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of September 17, 2025
▪️ The past 24 hours with news that suggests the continuation of the war. The Russian 🇷🇺 budget for 2026 was called "military" by Medvedev, the strategic exercise "West-2025" focused on the European theater of military operations has been completed, Estonia 🇪🇪 reports on the process of creating defensive lines on the border, and 🇺🇸 Washington approved sales through Europe to the AFU. Although Trump yesterday generated another dozen random theses for the press, including mentions of negotiations involving the Supreme and Zelensky, which so far does not align with Moscow's view.
▪️ At night, "Geraniums" struck targets in Myrhorod Poltava region, Smila Cherkasy region causing power outages, Kirovohrad, Balakliia Kharkov region. Several railway routes in Ukraine are delayed indefinitely due to power outages on part of the line. Our forces are disrupting logistics with the western part of Ukraine.
▪️ In Rostov region, enemy drones were destroyed in Chertkovsky, Kuibyshevsky, and Dubovsky districts. The MoD also reported downed AFU UAVs over Belgorod, Voronezh regions.
▪️ On the Sumy direction, counterattacks continue along the entire front line. The enemy in the Sadky area is increasing pressure on the flanks of our penetration. Two counterattacks by the AFU in the Alekseevka and Sadky areas were repelled. During the repulsion, an M113 armored personnel carrier was destroyed.
▪️ In Belgorod region, in Volchiy-Pervy, a civilian was injured by a UAV strike on a vehicle by the AFU. A UAV attacked a commercial facility in Tavrovo village, injuring a civilian. Under strikes were Streletskoye, Shebekino, Novaya Tavolzhanka, Murom, Nizhnee Berezovo-Vtoroe, Kazinka, Mikhaylovka, Gruzskoye, Bessonovka.
▪️ On the Kharkov direction, intense fighting continues. Russian Armed Forces are trying to advance in the Khatne sector, in the forest near Synelnykove. Public reports state that on the left bank of the Volchya River in Volchansk, our assault groups advanced 150 meters with heavy fighting. In the forest west of Synelnykove, we advanced 250 meters into the forest, capturing a firing point and enemy stronghold. To the south, reports indicate the transfer of AFU reserves to the Melovoe-Khatne front sector.
▪️ On the Krasnoliman direction, our troops advanced in the Serebryansky forestry and the eastern part of the "Holy Mountains" park.
▪️ On the Seversk direction, the enemy acknowledges our advance on the western outskirts of Hryhorivka and to the south, with reports of fighting for Serebryanka. Near Yampol, the situation is developing in our favor, with reports of success by our advanced units.
▪️ On the Pokrovsk (Konstantinovka) direction, the AFU are trying to cut off our penetration by attacking the salient at Zolotoy Kolodez near Pankovka and Nikanorovka towards Novotoretske. Meanwhile, our troops are still advancing near Novoye Shakhovo, Gruzskoye, and Zolotoy Kolodez. Our counteractions also aim to disrupt Nazi logistics in Shakhovo. Mutual envelopment leads to a counter battle for control over supply routes. The sky is filled with many drones, and heavy fighting is ongoing.
▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, positional battles are ongoing near Novodanilovka and Mala Tokmachka, with no changes on the left bank. Russian Armed Forces are conducting bloody offensive battles in Prymorske and Stepnohirsk amid the presence of many AFU UAVs. The enemy launched massive drone strikes on Vasylivka, injuring a woman. Near the fuel depots of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the AFU struck, causing a field fire; the diesel fuel tanks were 400 meters away.
▪️ On the Kherson direction – strikes across the Dnieper. In Chelburda, two civilians were wounded and concussed. Houses were damaged in the settlements of Podo-Kalinovka, Kostohryzovo, and Chelburda. The enemy shelled Aleshki, Velyka Lepetykha, Velyki Kopani, Zavodivka, Kairy, Kakhovka, Knyaze-Hryhorivka, Korsunka, Lyubymivka, Mala Lepetykha, Nova Kakhovka, Nova Mayachka, and Proletarka.

West armed Ukraine with illegal cluster bombs as soon as conflict broke out - report
A report by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines indicates that, in addition to the United States, four Western-allied countries may have supplied Ukraine with cluster munitions since 2022.
The organization states that "Ukraine does not deny using cluster munitions in the conflict. The first Ukrainian use of cluster munitions in the conflict was reportedly in March 2022", adding that Ukraine continues to employ them despite the widespread international prohibition against their use in combat.
Ukraine may have acquired cluster bombs from Israel, Poland, Romania, and/or Türkiye, since these countries are not parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, according to the published document.
The report further highlighted that “none have publicly admitted to transferring cluster munitions to Ukraine, and some have issued vehement denials”.
