  • Remington Arms offers manufacturing space to produce medical supplies needed to fight Covid-19

    Remington Arms offers manufacturing space to produce medical supplies needed to fight Covid-19

    Remington Arms has offered to donate manufacturing space for hospital supplies in New York. CEO of the gun manufacturer, Ken D'Arcy, wrote a letter Monday, March 23, to Governor Andrew Cuomo and President Donald Trump offering "approximately one million square feet of unused and available manufacturing space" at the Ilion plant, the Ithaca Journal reported. Cuomo issued an executive order for all nonessential workers to remain home, and the company announced Friday it would shut down in compliance until April 30. D'Arcy said the company would be honored to help produce ventilators, surgical masks, hospital beds or any other products to aid the efforts to combat the coronavirus. Cuomo said Tuesday that the state has 7,000 ventilators and needs 30,000 for an anticipated surge of patients. Remington Arms has joined several other companies to offer to help fight back against the coronavirus pandemic. Several distilleries have started producing hand sanitizer to help fill the shortage. New York has more than 30,000 confirmed cases and 285 deaths. The nation-high figures are driven mostly by New York City. Herkimer County Administrator James Wallace said Remington also requested permission to continue producing firearms for military and police use. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/03/26/remington-arms-offers-manufacturing-space-for-medical-supplies-needed-to-fight-covid-19

    Serbia looks to acquire Chinese drones and the technological know-how

    By: Jaroslaw Adamowski WARSAW, Poland — Serbia's acting assistant defense minister has announced the ministry is negotiating with a number of Chinese drone manufacturers to acquire UAVs for the Serbian military. Nenad Miloradovic said Serbia aims to buy Chinese drones for its armed forces as well as the technology that will allow the country's defense industry to produce UAVs in the long term. "This package deal, under which we plan to purchase, but also produce reconnaissance drones for the Serbian military, should be implemented shortly," Miloradovic said, as reported by local daily Blic. The official said that Serbia is positioning itself as a military-neutral country, and its government aims to procure weapons and military gear for the country's armed forces from various suppliers. "We don't have ideological prejudices in what concerns buying weapons," Miloradovic said. In a sign of strengthened military cooperation with Russia, Serbia's government earlier this year approved the purchase of six Mil Mi-17 helicopters, complementing acquisitions of other aircraft and weapons from Moscow. In contrast, Serbia signed a deal in 2016 to buy nine H145M helicopters from Dutch-French company Airbus. The value of the planned UAV deal was not disclosed by the Serbian official. https://www.defensenews.com/unmanned/2018/09/20/serbia-looks-to-acquire-chinese-drones-and-the-technological-know-how
