SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: Thank you, Dino. Thank you for that incredible introduction. I remember that speech. In fact, it was about a year ago, and we pledged to wage a war of attrition against the Pentagon bureaucracy to open our building up to companies just like this one, to fast runners that are ready to run hard, build at scale, take risks, invest, are doing it for the right reasons. We can't just have the big companies at the top doing all the work and not doing it fast enough. We need the best companies in this country, American manufacturing, American made, and that's what you're doing right here at Saronic, right here in Texas for the Arsenal of Freedom tour. It's great to be here with you.

Russia's projected budget deficit for 2027 is expected to reach approximately 2% of GDP, according to President Vladimir Putin. This figure marks an increase from the 1.2% of GDP outlined in the current law. To address the growing fiscal pressure, the Ministry of Finance has increased activity in the domestic market, recently issuing new bonds to raise capital. Financial analyst and PhD in Economics Mikhail Belyayev told Pravda.Ru that while a 2% deficit is not inherently critical, the primary risk lies in sluggish economic growth, which limits the state's ability to meet its obligations. Belyayev characterized the deficit as a loan from the future that must be covered through tax revenues, the privatization of assets, or income from unitary enterprises. The analyst noted that securing these reserves is difficult given a projected economic growth rate of just 0.5–1%. Belyayev attributed this stagnation to the Central Bank's restrictive monetary policy.
