Russia will create a full-fledged naval base in Tartus

State Secretary, Deputy Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov said that Russia intends to establish a full-fledged naval base in the Mediterranean port of Tartus (Syria). Nikolay Pankov, who addressed the Russian parliamentarians, quotes RIA News:

In Syria, we will have a permanent naval base in Tartus. Relevant documents are being prepared. They are undergoing an interdepartmental harmonization procedure (...) and we hope that we will soon ask you to ratify (this agreement).

For your information:
The agreement on the establishment of a logistics center for the USSR Navy in Tartus was signed between Moscow and Damascus in 1971. The MTO point began to function after six years. Today, the facility in Tartus remains virtually the only "stationary" embodiment of Russia's naval presence abroad.

Information about the creation of a full-fledged base of the Russian Navy in Tartus came amid news of the readiness of the Russian Federation to negotiate a resumption of its military presence in Vietnam (Cam Ranh), where Russian strategic bombers, as well as in Cuba, are currently refueling. In addition, according to reports of the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation, negotiations are underway with Cairo on the possibility of creating a military base of the RF Armed Forces on the territory of this state.

The main question regarding the creation of the base of the Russian Navy in Tartus concerns how many ships (and which fleets) will be assigned to the base. Apparently, at this stage it can become, for example, small missile ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, which are part of the Russian Mediterranean squadron fleet.

[Trevis]

What about the base in Cuba? It would be nice to have a base there.

[cniza]

Negotiations are in full swing, and Tartus is vital for us.

[Trevis]

Well, let's hope the negotiations are completed successfully)

Negotiations are in full swing.

The main thing is not to overdo it, so that there is a cap on Senka.
In general, in the current turbulent time, security is the most popular product, so maybe it is time for Russia to offer not only oil and gas, but also transfer to the commercial basis, security services. Do you want a Russian base of the Navy or the Air Force, there is no problem paying money, there will be something to build ships and tanks on, so you look at the aircraft and it will come out self-sustaining)))

[Diana Ilyina]

Do you want a Russian naval or air force base, no problem pay money

Demyan, a very correct remark, one really has to pay for security. So to say gentlemen, if you do not want the Lebanese scenario, then invite the Russian Aerospace Forces to visit the base, but at your expense, well, or at least 50 to 50.

[ride78]

Exactly, do not overdo it. They will knock out our ships in the base, and what remains at home?
Since the bases, so let's decide something with the Gorshkovs, and build them at least 6 for each fleet (except for the Baltic)

[Inok10]

Quote: Ride78

so let's decide something with the "Gorshkovs"

... 6 ordered ... 15 in the plan was ... M-90FRU in the series from 2018 will go ... and they will build ... 9M100 will finish ... the smallest and most "shitty" ... kind of like to 9M96 and 9M96M no questions ...

[RUS96]

"It will be not only ships and berths, but also a control system, an air defense system. Some time ago, an S-300 battery was sent there. The task of the naval base is to protect and defend the base point, all infrastructure on the territory, there will be a system Air defense and, naturally, anti-submarine defense, "Slutsky said on the air of" Russia 24 ".

What about the base in Cuba? It would be nice to have a base there.

And not only in Cuba ... Vietnam, Egypt, Venezuela, Nicaragua ... and, if memory serves me, somewhere else besides Syria.

[Samaritan]

So infa goes about Egypt ...

[GSH-18]

I fully support the decision of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation on the creation of an air and naval base in Syria on an ongoing basis.

[pvv113]

Now they are considering the possibility of restoring bases in Cuba and Vietnam (Cam Ranh)

[bvi1965]

And there will be in Cuba, and in Vietnam, and there are many more partners to choose from.

FOLLOWING THE ARCHITECT OF MEN. US SEEKING FOR REASON FOR WAR AGAIN
In the footsteps of the battleship Maine. The United States is again looking for a reason for war19: 14 October 10, 2016 3836 0
At first glance, the oceans are a spacious territory. Swim wherever you want, no one will say a word to you. In fact, routes run through all the seas and oceans, on which the probability of meeting a ship increases many times over. Moreover, on these routes there are intersections and bottlenecks, where peculiar sea traffic jams often gather. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is just one of these places.

Finding a pretext for a military invasion is one of the main skills of American diplomats. More than once, the United States has demonstrated the ability to organize a successful set of circumstances that allows them to start a war at one point or another on the planet. And recent events in the area of ​​the Bab el-Mandeb Strait indicate that the United States is most likely looking for a reason to invade.
Missile attack

On the night of October XNUMX, two missiles of an unknown type were fired from a USS Mason type destroyer such as Arly Burke from an Hussite-controlled rebel coast. According to the Reuters news agency, both missiles did not reach the American destroyer and fell into the water. As a result, none of the US military was injured, nothing terrible seemed to happen.

Everything would be fine, only representatives of the Hussites categorically deny their involvement in the attack on the American ship. And there is every reason to believe that the rebels are telling the truth.

It is immediately alarming that the Reuters message does not say a word about intercepting targets, although Arly Burke is a destroyer with a highly developed air defense and missile defense system. These ships are even an element of US missile defense. Perhaps the ship’s crew simply missed the launch? The military expert, captain of the third rank of the reserve Dmitry Viktorovich Litovkin will help answer this question to readers of the Word and Cause.

“Undoubtedly, anti-aircraft missile systems have seen these launches, because the ship was in combat condition there. The radar station records the launch, the trajectories of these missiles are calculated. On the part of the rebels, not very modern missiles were used, so there was time for a decision. Believe me, the Americans are not sleeping. ”

Moreover, USS Mason was in this area not by chance. A few days earlier, in the same area, an HSV-2 Swift catamaran was handed over by an anti-ship missile and handed over by the Americans to the Saudi authorities. According to Dmitry Viktorovich Litovkin, this was the reason for the arrival of the American destroyer to the shores of Yemen

Full-fledged naval health resort! We would have the same health resort in Cuba

"Lun" with "Eagles" would be reanimated ... And make ekranoplanes a kind of transport-combat system that quickly responds to the requests of our military contingents in Egypt and Syria (and possibly in Cyprus).

[dumpy15]

The Republic of Cyprus already has the largest British base, and in Northern Cyprus several Turkish.
And where are you going to drive on ekranoplanes in the Eastern Mediterranean?

[Now we are free]

And where are you going to drive on ekranoplans Eastern Mediterranean?

Well firstly, Greetings Homer
Secondly, judging by your logic in the Eastern Mediterranean, is it better not to meddle at all? ..
With regards to Cyprus, his government (not the northern part) suggested that the Russian Federation consider the possibility of placing a base at home, which led Britain to "Indescribable Delight" ... Yes, such an opportunity now looks futuristic, BUT whether the statement a year ago of our Ministry of Defense would not have looked futuristic that Russia will launch Winged Missiles from the Caspian Sea across the territory of Syria? So that everything is possible ...
Thirdly, about the advantages of ekranoplanes, which can be VERY useful in the Mediterranean, I don't think I need to tell you? I read your comments earlier and I see that you do not belong to "Hamsters".

[Krabik]

Lun, like Buran stillborn children, no one will reanimate them.

Launches from the Caspian were a surprise only for grandmothers on the yard bench.

[Diana Ilyina]

Lun, like Buran stillborn children, no one will reanimate them.

The "stillborn" Buran did what no one else in the world could repeat. In the USSR, far from being fools were engaged in development, and even if something was later postponed for unnecessary, then the developments were used in other projects. So your brain is stillborn!

Launches from the Caspian were a surprise only for grandmothers on the yard bench.

And what were your grandmothers called ?! Isn't Hillary Clinton with Angela Merkel by chance ?!

P.S. Your attempts to belittle the role of Russia and the USSR look pitiful and ridiculous. Lun, like Buran, and many other projects will remain in the history of Russia and the world. The achievements made during the implementation of these projects will be used in the future. But the story about you and your kind is not something that will forget, it will not even notice you. You are just one more, another worthless little man who decided to insult Russia, it's funny ...!

[Krabik]

The useless Buran after one test flight was lying in the hangar until it collapsed over a collapsed roof.
And all the developments on the Buran have gone foreign and of course they only brought harm to our country. raised the development of our opponents.

If you had read not only political articles on this resource, but also articles on weapons, you would have known about RTOs and the Caspian Sea and about calibers long before this hype in the press!

[dumpy15]

Thanks! As Byron (who fought on the side of the Greek rebels) wrote, "The Greeks are the same Turks, only cowardly." These words can be attributed to the Greek leadership, not the Greeks as a nation. Rep. Cyprus (600 thousand people) rose significantly economically in the 90s on Russian money. However, politically and politically, Cyprus is now actually divided by 2 NATO countries: Great Britain and Turkey. On Cape Greko, there is a radar and electronic warfare complex that controls the entire Middle East. As for ekranoplanes, they were originally designed for the Black Sea theater of operations (Bosphorus, Trabzon) taking into account the naval base of the USSR and Romania. At VO, their problems have already been discussed. In the present. At the time, Russia's military and economic capabilities are limited by the Tartus and Khmeimim bases in Syria.

[protoss]

about Cyprus - we have not covered, but there are very serious advances in uniting the north and south into a single Cyprus. I do not exclude that after the merger the question will be raised about the withdrawal of both the Turkish and the English contingent. the reason for the breakthrough in the negotiations on unification is the proven reserves of hydrocarbons on the shelf, the Greeks realized that in their current status the Turks would not let them get anything. Turks through Cyprus from the backyard will fit into the European Union, apparently, there are some interesting plans for the euro area. Erdogan is a cunning beetle, and he will give odds to many multi-trackers ... and so far he has succeeded.

[Joker787]

Where are we going to take so many ships, even MRK is not enough for everyone? Or I'm wrong? In addition, how are they going to provide air defense to cover the actions of RTOs? Only if from the base? Then what's the point?

[Krabik]

The point is that the missile systems can sail, now they are in the Caspian, tomorrow at the World Cup, and after tomorrow in Tartus, and all under their own power!

[common man]

The presence of a base is, first and foremost, the ability to place weapons on it. For example, coastal anti-ship systems. We place the Bastions in Tartus and control not such a frail piece of the Eastern Mediterranean. Even in the absence of ships.

[protoss]

and what is the point of control, take the trouble to explain. I just don’t understand. just do not need about the support of "friends" such as Assad, about money, please, about money.

[Krabik]

The base is needed to replenish stocks and repair ships in the Mediterranean.
And ships are needed to show their flag, to guard their trade, to conduct diplomacy not from a weak position, but from a strong position.

These are just strongholds for our troops, if we are not going to engage in self-isolation.

Around the same time, why the British placed the base in Cyprus.

[Holoy]

Zin, where is the money? Teachers of 12 thousand get something where only ... Zin got carried away a bit ...

First of all, it is necessary to restore order within the state, otherwise we have ordinary police colonels in billionaires ... But there is no movement in this regard ...

For example, this: "... The Reserve Fund of Russia will exhaust itself in 2017 and funds from the National Welfare Fund will be used," TASS reports with reference to Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Lavrov.

According to the Deputy Minister, in 2016, 2,1 trillion rubles will be spent from the Reserve Fund, and in 2017, 1,1 trillion, on which the Reserve Fund will be exhausted and the government will switch to using the funds of the NWF. "

[g1v2]

The Ministry of Finance in 2014 shouted that in 2016 they would be exhausted. Now screaming what's next. The next one will scream that in 2018. As a rule, this is a theater with the aim of pressure on the adoption of the budget needed by the Ministry of Finance. An attempt to convince the leadership to reduce defense spending and to raise the retirement age and cut social networks. Therefore, officials from the Ministry of Finance constantly give such forecasts. Well, the average man on them is. At the same time, the Central Bank’s rating is constantly growing. Somehow unlike the lack of money from the state.

[DenZ]

Apparently still a little invested in US bonds.

[Diana Ilyina]

According to the Deputy Minister, in 2016, 2,1 trillion rubles will be spent from the Reserve Fund, and in 2017, 1,1 trillion, on which the Reserve Fund will be exhausted and the government will switch to using the funds of the NWF. "

"Pamagiti hto than moget", "lolikuseopropalo", etc., etc.
You yourself are not disgusted? To listen to Siluanov and Ulyukaev, so "lolikusepalo" will seem to be the height of optimism, and if Kudrin is also here to the heap, then it was already ten times for us to glue the flippers, but somehow they have not glued them so far.

All these squeals and cries about the fact that we do not have money for social programs, for development and so on, everything from the evil one. This is the desire of the liberal clique firmly settled at the top to prevent Russia from fully entering the international level. Do not give an independent foreign policy. These are the clear agents of influence of the United States and its sixes, and the more they harden, the more we are moving in the right direction!

So do not wait for ghouls!

Well you say. I have distant relatives in Russia. Both are well over 70. For two, 38 thousand pensions. According to them, even taking into account an average of 6 thousand communal services per month and 3 thousand for a summer residence and small things, he is paid for food and medicine. And with rags and so the cabinets are clogged.

[St Petrov]

my mother is a teacher - 25 years of experience - extreme before the pension ZP - 48 tr (1,5 bids) boarding school

12 tr she gets a colleague who comes to work 2 lessons a day - which is only after graduation - and she didn’t even take anything to check home.

Well, in the plan - everything is fine at home, money is apparently not needed. If the teacher needs money, then he will earn it.

In extreme cases, you can always conduct additional lessons at home - costing from 600 to 1500 rubles - who has any ambitions.

teachers survived in the late 90s, early 2000s - for some reason I heard less moans for some reason.

[Holoy]

Teachers really get 12 thousand from us if they work at the same rate with 18 maximum hours a week ...

You can work at two rates, but it's like a slave ... and there is no return! And die early ...

[St Petrov]

This is an international problem of teachers - do not dunk our ears as well.

Here the next Hollywood creation was - in the main role a teacher - I don’t remember what kind of movie - the bottom line is that he describes our problems exactly

Plowing like a wolf, from the students - neither return nor gratitude - a lot of documentation to fill out - everywhere there is complete control - there is no time to work, filling out the documentation eats up a lot of energy and nerves.

As a result, he was kicked out of the house for debts in the middle of the movie) But our teacher can earn extra money - there is no option.

[Holoy]

The USA is not an indicator ... there is Finland, South Korea, Singapore, Austria, Canada ... already China ...

It's bad when in a literate country, Education collapsed!

[Holoy]

Apparently your relatives live in the North, with such a pension I would advise them to move to permanent residence in Sochi ...

But in essence, in Russia, we came up with tricky payments to teachers, the average is calculated not from one rate as it should be according to the Law, but from one and a half two rates, plus they adjust the Director’s salary, which is huge by our standards ... and it seems a decent amount on average ... and if we take for example, as one bet should be, then only with difficulty 12 thousand runs in ... Exceptions Moscow, North ...

[Uncle Murzik]

I heard something for the first time about teachers' salaries at 48 thousand, maybe in Moscow or in the north! My sister will learn in school and the hours are 23000-25000!

Still category dependent! Which must be confirmed! Re-certified. There are a lot of nuances.

along the way this is from the same fable that the average salary in Russia is 32000 rubles

The bases are very, very expensive. Will we pull the question?
Perhaps something else is needed here, an asymmetric answer, so to speak, which thread.
We can’t go on the path of staffers, at least for now, stupidly inseparable, we’ll kill the economy for nafig and will perish ourselves.
What could be an alternative to bases? Hmmm, the question is interesting of course. I believe that in this situation it is necessary to make sure that the Americans themselves are not up to bases abroad. Well, for example, what is the thread of the powerful liberation movement of blacks or the Indians for independence. In short, you need to somehow support, and even better, create an internal explosion in the United States itself. Then they will have to deal with internal problems and they will be forced to leave their bases, simply because they will not be able to support them. Well, as a result, the noose of American lackeys will weaken and you see they will leave the orbit of the United States.
I think so - now we won’t pull the bases, whether we like it or not, the enormous load on the budget, let's be realistic. We need diplomatic ways to weaken the United States primarily at home.

[g1v2]

The Middle East is an extremely important geopolitical hub and a source of 30 percent hydrocarbons. Control of their flows is an impact on the global economy. The United States in the second half of the 20th century rose seriously thanks to an alliance with the Saudis and other monarchies of the Persian Gulf. Control of oil flows and the deal with the Arabs made the dollar the main means of payment on the planet.
Having 2 bases on BV, we can put pressure on the flows and production of hydrocarbons, affect the price, and in case of large P, block them. Egypt is primarily the Suez Canal, plus the border with Libya and its oil. In Libya, butting is an opportunity to bring to power the candidate we need and Egypt. I think this is General Haftar. I won’t be surprised if the same thing we do with Iran in Syria sooner or later we will do in Libya from a base in Egypt and together with Egypt.

I agree. The situation is very difficult. But! I have to concentrate, I think, on Cuba. This will be a more effective step ... but you shouldn’t spread around the world ... the content of the bases flies a pretty penny. You don’t have to pay attention to the huge Pentagon budget ... In Russia, the budget money of the Defense Ministry goes mainly for the purchase of weapons, we have few foreign bases, and in the USA these bases are foreign! The lion's share of the money from this budget in the United States is spent on the maintenance of precisely these bases ... and we must also take into account the fact that labor in the United States is much more expensive ... and this is also an expendable part of the defense ... So, as weapons we We’re not far behind the United States, and in some areas we even have a% of new technology higher ... their B-52s essentially developed their own resources, for example ... and the same F-16s were not bought for a long time ...

Diana Ilyina,
That's why conspiracies from scratch to look for something? For any financier and especially the Ministry of Finance, the main thing in life is that the balance of payments converges. That is, so that there are more incomes and less expenses - they are fighting for it. Social and defense are always expenses, therefore the Ministry of Finance is always trying to cut them AT ANY TIMES. Accordingly, the fact that it brings money to the budget, but does not take away, is what they are fighting for. For example, if you ask officials of the Ministry of Finance. Which is better - a new rocket or a new restaurant, then they will have no doubt. The restaurant pays taxes, but the rocket does not. Therefore, you can talk to financiers only through the link "profitable - unprofitable." And it is useless to put pressure on their patriotism or spiritual qualities. They only accept numbers.

[padded jacket]

We just need a base in Syria, and as the Air Force and the Navy decided correctly, because in the event of a conflict with NATO, the Black Sea Straits will be closed for us. Our bases in Syria with powerful anti-ship missile defense ships of the Navy and ground forces, with the support of our allies from Syria, the valiant Hezbollah of Iraq and Iran, will be able to provide the necessary resistance and prevent the fleet of our enemies from the US EU Israel from entering the Black Sea and in particular create "difficulties" Turkey.

members of Hezbollah seized and stopped two cars near the Soviet embassy in Beirut. In one were consular officer Arkady Katkov and embassy doctor Nikolai Svirsky, in the other were KGB residency officers Oleg Spirin and Valery Myrikov. Arkady Katkov was killed. He supervised the murder of Imad Mughnia, nicknamed "Hyena" (it is known that Mughnia not only ordered the execution of Katkov, but also personally shot him). The rest of the hostages were released

Pore ​​such nonsense ..
