The Russian army has no shortage of weapons despite sanctions: With an arsenal mixing old Soviet stocks and modern hypersonic weapons, the country could strike Europe in minutes. An opaque network of spies, shell companies and oligarchs ensures its war capacity through the arms trade, technology theft and state-organized policy of terror.
From Iranian drones to North Korean missiles, Putin's empire is weaving its new alliances in the shadows. A secret factory is emerging in Russia, ports are reborn in the Sea of Japan, ghost ships exchange weapons and technologies transiting through China. In this second part: spotlight on these unacknowledged pacts which outline a world in tilt, where a new anti-Western axis redefines the balance of power.
