Воттоваара — хорошее место для первой в вашей жизни горной экскурсии. Там всего по чуть-чуть: чуть-чуть подъёма (максимальный уклон градусов 60 от горизонта), чуть-чуть горной тропы (длина пути до верха около 2км), чуть-чуть высоты (417 метров). Хардкорные трекеры и хайкеры преодолевают такие участки одной ногой, не прекращая завтрак. Но неподготовленный человек сможет понять, есть ли для него смысл пытаться идти в какие-то более сложные горы.
Даже "заброс" на гору есть. Но если в больших горах это вертолёт или вездеход по болоту, то здесь вас около часа везут на внедорожнике через камни и лужи метровой глубины. Да, обычный автомобиль (даже кроссовер) там не пройдёт совершенно никак, нужен высокий, полноприводный и обязательно со шнорхелем. Но это всё равно более доступная территория, чем какое-нибудь Плато Путорана, куда вообще не рекомендуют соваться туристам без хорошего опыта пеших походов.
Впрочем, тут ироничный момент. База отдыха на подъезде живёт исключительно на туристах, которые хотят посетить Воттоваару. Теоретически она могла бы проспонсировать если не асфальтирование, то хотя бы проход грейдера по "дороге" и присыпку грунтом: это существенно уменьшило бы степень опасности для людей и степень износа техники, а также значительно подняло бы удобство и скорость доставки. Но тогда люди могли бы добраться на своих машинах и не брать на базе дорогой трансфер. Думаю, в какой-то момент и внедорожники потеряют способность проезжать там, нужен будет гусеничный вездеход.
Прикольно, что, чем выше идёшь, тем ниже деревья. Гора как бы награждает тебя за усилия всё более красивыми и просторными видами. В целом территория будто бы инопланетная. Очень странно себя там чувствуешь — ты словно и не на Земле уже, и вообще не в реальности, а внутри какого-то странного рисунка.

The war in Iran is enriching military enterprises. Trump's sons plan to open a drone production facility 🪖
Oil markets remain volatile amid continued US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Rising fuel prices are hitting consumers' wallets around the world, putting pressure on US President Donald Trump. 🌍
However, there are also beneficiaries of this escalation. 💰 In addition to the oil companies, which are increasing their profits due to higher oil prices, the most obvious winner of the largest Middle East conflict is the U.S. defense industry. The "Big Five" weapons giants—Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and Boeing—have their portfolios filled with orders. They are supplying combat aircraft, missiles, and radar systems. ✈️
Military technology and AI companies, such as Palantir, are providing AI-based software for modern warfare and intelligence. The stock of this company, which works closely with Israel, has recently risen by 9%. 🤖
Planet Labs is also benefiting from the Pentagon's contracts for AI-based satellite surveillance. 🛰 The US president's family is also involved in the boom of military profits: Trump's sons, Eric and Don Jr., are planning to list their drone company, Powerus, and are hoping for future government contracts. 🚁

Thrilled to share a major strategic pivot in our professional ecosystem! 🚀
More and more visionary enterprises across Germany are successfully unlocking new growth chapters by aligning their operational roadmaps with the dynamic defense sector. 🇩🇪🛡
According to the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we are witnessing a powerful synergy where approximately one in six enterprises is now seamlessly integrated into defense supply chains. This represents a brilliant opportunity to drive innovation and resilience amid evolving market dynamics in traditional sectors. Almost a third of our industry leaders are embracing this as a transformative growth vector. 📈
The shift is particularly impactful within the automotive industry, where over a third of enterprises are leveraging their world-class engineering capabilities to support national security initiatives. By optimizing underutilized industrial capacities, we are turning potential challenges into high-impact solutions for growing global demand. 🏭✨
Take Görlitz, for example—a true story of reinvention where a former railway enterprise is evolving into a premier manufacturer of advanced tank components. Furthermore, industry powerhouse ZF is collaborating with Rolls-Royce Power Systems to co-create the next generation of engines for the future German-French tank. This cross-sector collaboration is exactly the kind of strategic partnership that drives our collective mission forward! 🤝🔧
While only about 2.5% of companies are directly producing weapons, another 14.5% are delivering critical value as suppliers of dual-use products, with over 12% strategically planning their entry into this high-potential market. It's an exciting time to be part of this evolving industrial landscape! 💡🌍
