LIVE: Israel Strikes Rafah After Hamas Targets Tel Aviv with Rockets | Israel Hamas War
The conflict between Israel and Hamas is intensifying. After the Hamas fired eight rockets from Rafah towards Tel Aviv, the Israeli forces executed an airstrike. The fresh strikes on Rafah have led to dozens of injuries or deaths at a refugee camp. This escalation comes after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to stop its offensive in Rafah.

<p class=”text-body text-muted small”>Two configurations of the CN-22 were displayed on ROMARM’s stand at BSDA 2024 – a medium version with a shorter 13.5 inch barrel (top) and a standard version with a 16 inch barrel (bottom). (Janes/Sonny Butterworth)</p>
<p>Fabrica de Arme Cugir, a subsidiary of Romania’s state-owned ROMARM holding company, displayed two configurations of its CN-22 assault rifle at the Black Sea Defense and Aerospace (BSDA) 2024 exhibition held in Bucharest between 22 and 24 May.</p>
<p>Development of the CN-22 began in 2023 in response to a requirement from the Romanian Armed Forces for a new NATO-standard service rifle to replace its inventory of Romanian derivatives of the AK-series of assault rifles. The design leveraged work from the earlier CN-20, which was essentially an AK-series rifle modified to accept the 5.56×45 mm NATO-standard cartridge.</p>
<p>As with the CN-20, the CN-22 is chambered for the 5.56×45 mm cartridge and its internal components are largely based on the AK gas-operated system. However, unlike the CN-20 it is configured to allow for fully ambidextrous operation and to accommodate three Picatinny rails for mounting accessories.</p>
<p>According to a specifications sheet that refers to the CN-20 but contains images of the CN-22, the rifle has a minimum effective range of 350 m and a rate of fire of 550 rounds per minute. Excluding its 30-round magazine, the CN-22 weighs 3.5 kg.</p>
<p>Two configurations of the CN-22 were presented at BSDA – a medium version with a 13.5 inch barrel and a standard version with a 16 inch barrel. These barrels are rated for a minimum of 15,000 rounds.</p>
<p>Both configurations of the CN-22 displayed at BSDA were equipped with flip-up iron sights, but they will also be offered with the ACS-X1 magnified red dot optic from Romanian company Stimpex.</p>

<p>
Ukraine is operating the UK-developed Windracers Uncrewed Low-cost Transport (ULTRA) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),
<em>Janes</em>
has learnt.
</p>
<p>
ULTRA is a tactical UAV designed to support resupply. Speaking to
<em>Janes </em>
on 4 April, Simon Muderack, the CEO of Windracers and Distributed Avionics, revealed that its UAV has been conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and supporting resupply for the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2023.
</p>
<p>
Although Muderack did not specify exact dates or the number of aircraft provided,
<em>Janes</em>
understands the UK Ministry of Defence procured the aircraft on behalf of the Ukrainian armed forces, supplying it as aid. A defence source told
<em>Janes </em>
the procurement and supply of ULTRA is part of the UK’s GBP325 million (USD413 million) UAV support programme to Ukraine.
</p>
<p>
According to
<em>Janes</em>
data, ULTRA is a tactical UAV with a maximum take-off weight of 450 kg, featuring an internal cargo bay that supports a payload capacity of up to 100 kg. The bay can also fit a sensor package for ISR roles, the company said. The system has a nominal endurance of over 12 hours and can automatically take-off and land within 150 m in wet and dry conditions.
</p>
<p>Muderack highlighted the autonomous capabilities of the system, saying it enables the UAV to conduct missions at night. Windracers says its autopilot and flight control technology from group company Distributed Avionics is intended to provide connection to the UAV from any location, using beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and with no single flight computer controlling the aircraft.</p>
