This document explores the evolving military strategies and international relations of China, Russia, and Iran, as well as regional security dynamics. China is focusing on enhancing its UAV operations and developing a “Cognitive Confrontation” approach for future warfare while marking the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party. Russia is strengthening its military capabilities, especially in communications, area denial tactics, and expanding its presence in Africa, but is facing challenges with Arctic military systems. Iran is advancing its military technology with ultra-long-range drones while also addressing domestic challenges like pollution and diplomatic issues. Meanwhile, the document touches on global security concerns such as the role of UAVs in the UAE, transnational smuggling networks, and conflicts in Somalia.
