- Head of the Israeli Mossad David Barney:
In addition to UAVs, Iran intends to provide Russia with short- and long-range missiles.
In response, the Russian Federation may transfer weapons to Iran that could “jeopardize the existence of Israel.”
We fear that the Russians will give the Iranians in return what they lack, modern weapons that will certainly threaten our peace and perhaps even our existence here. 
- South Korea turns to Turkey for cooperation in the field of UAVs
South Korea plans to cooperate with Turkey, whose experience and knowledge it trusts.
Turkish President Erdogan and South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol discussed ways to expand their defense industry partnership, focusing on UAVs, military transport aircraft and other weapons.
Erdogan said the defense industry partnership should expand to include UAVs, military aircraft and armored vehicles.
South Korea is expected to master UAV technology and operational skills based on Turkey's experience and knowledge in this field. 
- VSJ:
Ukrainian pilots can begin combat use of the F-16 as early as February 2024.
The first pilots with a good command of English can be trained in five months. It is noted that this is an assessment of the Ukrainian side.
The first group of fewer than 10 people is expected to begin training at Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson, Arizona. They were the first to switch to the F-16.
At the same time, dozens of Ukrainian pilots will begin learning English at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.
The American side is more restrained in its forecasts. F-16s require approximately 16 hours of maintenance on the ground for every hour the vehicle is in the air.
Training technicians can be more difficult than training pilots.

- Elon Musk:

Please tell them this very clearly. 
- President of Ukraine Zelensky:
«Counterattack» — This is not a movie with a happy ending, we won't have a happy ending, we've lost a lot of people.
There will be no happy ending, we must admit it. 
Putin's goal — to restore the Soviet Union, so his plans include only freezing the conflict.
I believe that those who want to talk to this man in the Kremlin are “deceiving themselves,” like the Western leaders who signed an agreement with Hitler in Munich in 1938 only to see himrushes to Czechoslovakia.
If Trump becomes US President, he will not support Putin.
If we are abandoned, I don’t know how millions of Ukrainian refugees will react, this is a “bad story” for Europe.
The war will continue as long as Russia remains on the territory of Ukraine.

US Senator Elizabeth Warren:
Congress must investigate what happened and determine whether we have adequate tools to ensure that foreign policy is led by the government, not one billionaire. 
Putin calls Elon Musk “an outstanding person, an active and talented businessman.”
"Musk is doing a lot in the space sector, including with the support of the American state."

- Another rumor about the accident of the Chinese nuclear submarine (NPS) Type 093
New rumors have spread in the Taiwanese media that an explosion occurred on board the submarine Long March-15 type 093 (Shang class) of the Northern Fleet of the PLA Navy, which resulted in the death of the crew.
It is reported that the boat was not in the Taiwan Strait, but in the Yellow Sea. It was used to test underwater weapons.
The prerequisite for further inflating the topic with the submarine was the appearance of information that its crew was supposed to arrive home in early September for a short vacation, but their families never saw them.
Taiwanese media once again turned to the Taiwanese Ministry of Defense for comments. Deputy Chief of the Intelligence Bureau of the Taiwanese General Staff, Major General Huang Wenqi, stated:
«Regarding media reports that an accidental explosion occurred on a Chinese Type 093 nuclear submarine, I would like to inform everyone that this kind of information has a high degree of secrecy. As for the details and information that the Ministry of Defense has, due to its high confidentiality, we will not disclose it here.”
Another clue was that the US Air Force radiological monitoring aircraft WC-135R (registration number 64-14831) continued to operate in the suspected area of the Chinese submarine disaster.
On September 6, the plane took off into the airspace over the East China and Yellow Seas to monitor background radiation.

- Kim Jong-un arrived in Russia. What you should know:
▪️He was traveling to Vladivostok on his armored train. On September 12-13, he will probably meet with Putin.
▪️The main topic of the meeting will, of course, be a discussion of weapons. Western media previously wrote that North Korea could offer Putin supplies of artillery shells and anti-tank missiles.
▪️North Korea has one of the largest reserves of ammunition for Soviet-era weapons used by the Russian Federation. Their transfer will not radically change the situation on the battlefield, but will help the Russian Federation fight longer by attrition.
▪️At the same time, such a step speaks of how the Russian Federation was depleting its own weapons reserves.
