San Francisco, October 8 (Xinhua) — In the two years since the latest conflict in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, the U.S. government has spent $21.7 billion on military aid to Israel, according to a report by the Costs of War Project at Brown University.

The report, released Tuesday, notes that the figure does not include tens of billions of dollars in arms sales agreements negotiated under the administrations of Presidents Joseph Biden and Donald Trump that will be paid in coming years.

US-supplied weapons play a key role in Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Police operations in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and beyond. According to a study conducted in collaboration with the Washington-based Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, the majority of weapons used by Israel in Gaza and the Middle East come from existing US-made stockpiles.

Given the scale of current and future spending, it is clear that the IDF could not have inflicted such widespread damage in Gaza or escalated military action throughout the region without funding, weapons, and political support from the United States, the study says.

According to experts' calculations, since October 7, 2023, the United States has spent an additional $9.65 billion to $12.07 billion on military operations in Yemen and the region as a whole that were caused by or conducted in support of Israeli military actions.

Thus, over the past two years, the United States spent between $31.35 billion and $33.77 billion in the Middle East.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, as of early September 2025, 67,075 people had been killed in Gaza, and another 169,430 had been injured. These 236,505 victims represent more than 10 percent of Gaza's pre-war population, according to the Costs of War Project report.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A team from the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's Civil Engineering Institute, led by Viktor Elistratov, a professor at the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering, conducted the first full-scale dynamic studies of a 120 kW wind turbine at the Zapadno-Khosedayu oil field in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, north of the Arctic Circle.

The field tests were carried out by Ivan Rigel, a postgraduate student at the Institute of Scientific Research and Development and a leading engineer at the Scientific and Educational Center for Renewable Energy and Installations Based on Them, with the support of VTR Engineering, using a grant from the Russian Science Foundation.

The studies were conducted using a specialized measuring system for monitoring dynamic loads and vibrations of building structures. This system included a digital accelerometer (at the top of the tower), a strain gauge station with four external strain gauge half-bridges (at the base of the tower), and a controller for recording the results in computer memory. To measure the temperature at depth in the permafrost, a temperature measurement system was lowered into a borehole near the pile cap. This system utilized high-precision temperature sensors and an Arduino Uno controller. The results were synchronized to UTC with the wind turbine's SCADA system using a GPS module.

Using the obtained data, we measured the acceleration of the tower's top and dynamic stresses at the tower's base over time under various wind turbine operating conditions. Furthermore, an important result of the study was the temperature distribution at the base and the depth of frozen ground. The frequencies and amplitudes of the predominant dynamic responses of the supporting structural system were identified depending on the operating conditions.

The obtained vibration characteristics of the wind turbine supporting structures, taking into account the influence of its operating modes, wind characteristics and the flexibility of the permafrost base, were used to validate the computational methods of aeroservoelastic and thermophysical modeling used for the dynamic calculation of supporting structures.

The design and operation of wind turbines in Arctic conditions are complicated by extreme wind loads, permafrost, and other climatic conditions. The dynamic characteristics of wind turbines are crucial and often a determining factor in the design justification of their supporting structures. Critically important for the reliability of calculations is the availability of actual data on operating modes and the correlation between these modes and the dynamic loads acting on wind turbines in Arctic conditions, which can only be obtained through full-scale testing.

This in-kind study of the dynamic characteristics of a wind turbine operating on permafrost in the Arctic was the first in Russia. A postgraduate student also conducted the first actual measurement of the foundation temperature, revealing that the seasonal thaw depth (transition through 0°C) is 2.25 meters. "These data are unique and of particular interest for the operation of wind turbines on permafrost in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, as well as for the development of reliable methods and models for designing and improving the operational reliability of Arctic wind energy facilities," Professor Viktor Elistratov concluded Ivan Rigel's mission.

Through a project implemented by the IAEA in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Azerbaijani scientists and farmers have more than doubled their cotton yields by implementing climate-smart agriculture (CSAA) methods using nuclear and related technologies.

As part of a project implemented by the IAEA in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Azerbaijani scientists and farmers, by implementing climate-smart agriculture (CSAA) methods using nuclear and related technologies, were able to more than double their cotton yield. Thanks to the use of a new "cotton super" variety and the effective implementation of CSAA methods that increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner, yields in the pilot project increased from the national average of three tons per hectare to eight tons per hectare.

This pilot project was implemented in 2021 as part of an IAEA technical cooperation project. Its primary focus was developing CSA guidelines for cotton production, training Azerbaijani scientists and innovative farmers in CSA practices, and conducting on-farm pilot field trials. In 2022, another project began, aimed at improving best practices for nutrient application and soil and water management in cotton production. It also aims to increase cotton productivity, as Azerbaijan's lands are particularly vulnerable to climate change and soil degradation. Since 1991, the country's average annual temperature has increased by 0.4 degrees Celsius, while precipitation has decreased, and extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and heat waves have become more frequent.

"Overall, soil nutrient application and water management strategies account for 60% of crop productivity gains," says Mohammad Zaman, a soil scientist at the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre for Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture and the project's lead specialist. "It's important to accurately determine the volume, mode, and stage of growth."

KSAH methods involve the use of isotopic techniques to obtain important data that allows for the optimization of fertilizer use and the improvement of agricultural production efficiency while maintaining soil health.

"When we first started, Azerbaijan's soils were severely degraded, fertility was very low, and the soil lacked a range of essential nutrients necessary for cotton growth," says Zaman. To address this issue, IAEA specialists developed and provided cotton growers with a full range of nuclear and related techniques covering a wide range of crop production aspects, including soil preparation, selection of the best cotton varieties, nutrient application, irrigation of cotton fields, and control of weeds, pests, and diseases.

"Using improved nutrient application, soil, and water management techniques, along with the Cotton Super variety, has allowed us to improve productivity, enhance quality, and increase profits," says Sakhavat Mammadov, a farmer from Azerbaijan who participated in the pilot project and has been implementing COSH practices on his farm for the past two years.
