The UK has decided to re-task Royal Navy warship the HMS Trent and deploy it to Guyana after Christmas, according to British media reports

Instead of scouring the Caribbean in search of drug smugglers, the warship will take part in joint naval exercises with the former British colony and Commonwealth member. The decision was reportedly prompted by the current flare-up of the territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela.

"HMS Trent will visit regional ally and Commonwealth partner Guyana later this month as part of a series of engagements in the region during her Atlantic Patrol Task deployment," a UK Ministry of Defense spokesperson was cited as saying.

The warship will stay in Barbados, the Caribbean region of the Americas, during Christmas, after which it will be heading for Guyana. Its activities will reportedly be carried out at sea, and will not involve docking in Guyana’s capital, Georgetown.

HMS Trent? That name reminds me on something from the 19th century. There was something.

️ Today, another launch of the Soyuz 2.1v launch vehicle with a military spacecraft took place from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region. So far this year, 8 out of the 19 Russian space launches were for the Ministry of Defense.

Usually, the defense department does not disclose the specific devices launched into orbit for obvious reasons. However, based on indirect signs, it is believed that some of them were new generation reconnaissance satellites.

Describing the state of the military space group for remote sensing of the Earth at the beginning of 2022 is difficult without using censored words. The shortage (or rather, almost complete absence) of such spacecraft became evident in Syria, and unfortunately, the situation has not improved over the years. This has severely impacted the reconnaissance capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces during SMO.

However, there has been some improvement over the past two years. It is reported that spacecraft from the "Hrazdan" and "Bars-M" series have been deployed in orbit. While their individual characteristics may not match those of modern Western analogues, they are still clearly superior to the outdated Russian and Soviet spacecraft previously used by the Russian Armed Forces.

Nevertheless, there is still much work to be done, from space reconnaissance to the establishment of a communications constellation capable of high-speed data transmission. Without these capabilities, operating successfully in high-intensity conflicts is currently difficult, and in the future, it will be impossible.

Russia warns Japan about the supply of Patriot air defense systems Ukraine - Reuters

Japan's decision to provide the Patriot air defense system to Kyiv will have "serious consequences" for Russian-Japanese relations, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova.

“The Japanese side is losing control of weapons, with which Washington can now do whatever it wants. It cannot be ruled out that, according to the already tested scheme, Patriot missiles will reach Ukraine,” noted M. Zakharova.

According to her, such a scenario would “be interpreted as clearly hostile actions against Russia and will lead to dire consequences for Japan in the context of bilateral relations.”

🪄 European Union is developing a mechanism that will allow it to allocate €20 billion in aid to Ukraine by borrowing funds under guarantees from member countries, the Financial Times writes, citing sources.

Using this mechanism, EU countries plan to bypass Hungary's veto on aid to Ukraine in the amount of €50 billion for four years.

Rice prices surged to a fresh 15-year high

Rice prices rose to a new 15-year high due to strong demand and ongoing supply issues.

According to the Thai Rice Exporters Association, Thai white rice 5% broken - an Asian benchmark - rose in price for a third straight week to reach $659 a ton on Wednesday.

That's the highest since October 2008, and the price increase this year was about 38% after the leading shipper India restricted exports and dry weather jeopardized production.

Electronics and high-tech factories in Israel have encountered difficulties importing electronic components from China since the outbreak of the Gaza war.

The components that importing factories consume for civilian use are classified as dual-use goods and can be used for military purposes.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth writes that Israeli importers claim that Beijing did not announce sanctions against Israel, but in practice there were huge bureaucratic difficulties. The Chinese began to demand that many forms be filled out, and delayed the shipment under the pretext that the forms were filled out incorrectly.

🟦🥩 Supplies of Russian pork to China will begin in the next two months, Rosselkhoznadzor reported.

China in September lifted temporary restrictions on African swine fever that had been in place for Russia since 2008.

“Traditionally, China consumes many parts of pork, those that we do not actively use in our country. For example, pork legs, stomachs, ears, tails, many parts that are not entirely understandable to the population here, but are a delicacy there. Considering that since 2008 China closed us due to African plague, we spent so much time - 15 years - on opening the Chinese market for Russian pork,” said the head of the department.
