IPSEs IN THE LAST 24h

Jimmy Rushton “Shoigu's replacement with a (relatively experienced and apparently competent) economist [Andrei Belousov] pretty clearly signals Putin believes victory in Ukraine will come via outproducing (and outlasting) Ukraine and her Western allies. He's preparing for many more years of war.” 12 hours ago
Konstantin Sonin “Things are not going according to Putin's plan, but he will endlessly rotate the same small group of loyalists. Putin has always feared to bring new people to the positions of authority - even in the best of times, they must have been nobodies with no own perspectives. Toward the end of his rule, even more so.” 12 hours ago
Mark Galeotti “With an economist taking over the Defence Ministry, and the old minister taking up a policy and advisory role, the technocrats are in the ascendant. The goal though is not peace, but a more efficient war. As Putin digs in for the long term, with the 'special military operation' now being the central organising principle of his regime, he knows he needs technocrats to keep his war machine going.” 12 hours ago
Jeff Hawn “This indicates that the Kremlin is not seeking an exit from Ukraine, but once to extend their ability to endure the conflict as long as possible. Russia is very limited [on] how much they can increase scale, due to economic deficiencies. However, they can maintain a certain level of attritional warfare. And are likely hoping to do that longer than Ukraine can.” 12 hours ago
Dmitry Peskov “Today, the winner on the battlefield is the one who is more open to innovation, more open to implementation as quickly as possible. It is natural that at the current stage the president [Vladimir Putin] decided that the Ministry of Defence should be headed by a civilian [Andrei Belousov].” 12 hours ago

“Pyongyang's claim of testing a solid-fuel motor for longer range ballistic missiles supports its more aggressive, recently declared doctrine of using nuclear weapons if the Kim leadership or strategic assets come under threat. Once deployed, the technology would make North Korea's nuclear forces more versatile, survivable, and dangerous.”

“The headquarters of international companies in the UAE will be targets of attacks in the coming period. We hit specific and important targets in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi with a number of ballistic missiles, as well as sensitive targets in the Emirate of Dubai with a number of Samad-3 drones. The Yemeni armed forces confirm that the UAE enemy state will remain unsafe as long as the tools of the Israeli enemy remain in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, launching aggression against our dear country.”

“While significant attention has been focused on Iran's large ballistic missile program, Saudi Arabia's development and now production of ballistic missiles has not received the same level of scrutiny. The domestic production of ballistic missiles by Saudi Arabia suggests that any diplomatic effort to control missile proliferation would need to involve other regional actors, like Saudi Arabia and Israel, that produce their own ballistic missiles.”

“One of the biggest initial advantages potentially with this launch system is that it will provide South Korea the ability to put satellites into space that provide capability to have a system of surveillance over North Korea - and this will give south Korea the ability to monitor potential North Korea launches of ballistic and cruise missiles. In the next few years, South Korea plans to develop and start operating a series of space launch vehicles from the NARO Space Centre, and these launch vehicles will be putting small vehicles into lower orbit, further increasing South Korea's space defence capabilities. That's the plan and this is the first stage.”

“So far this year, North Korea has begun carrying out its nuclear program as planned by restarting its nuclear facilities in Yongbyon and by test-firing ballistic missiles. With North Korea escalating its nuclear threat, an end-of-war declaration will only cause North Korea to misbelieve that it may see the withdrawal of the U.S. Forces Korea from the Korean Peninsula.”

“The North fired cruise and ballistic missiles from a train less than 10 days ago. This act reveals that the Korean Peninsula's situation has not changed, despite the three inter-Korean summits and two Pyongyang-Washington summits under the Moon government.”

“It's extraordinary timing that you have not one but two Koreas testing ballistic missiles on the same day. It does speak to the fact that there's an arms race in this region that everyone needs to pay attention to.”

“The development of ballistic missiles with heavier warheads was already underway and has been accelerated especially after a South Korea-U.S. summit in May, in which President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed to terminate U.S. missile guidelines on South Korea that have long restricted Seoul's development of missiles. Ballistic missiles with heavier warheads would be able to destroy underground facilities, but deploying them is still not the same as deploying far more powerful strategic nuclear weapons. South Korea has been boosting its military budget and developing weapons including ballistic missiles, but it has not being effective in terms of costs, when nuclear weapons are much more powerful than others.”

“The president has been very clear that he wants diplomats in the lead and we are supportive of that here at the Defense Department. But North Korea's continued development of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction represents a threat to U.S. interest and security of our allies and partners. In the near time, we are going to work in close coordination with our allies and partners to seek to deter negative behavior from North Korea. That also means that working closely with our South Korean ally on making sure that our two militaries have the capability and readiness to defend our interests on the peninsula.”
