Results of the week. “Let me, how can you eat herring without vodka?”
December 25 while taking off from Adler airport (Sochi) crashed airliner Tu-154, which belonged to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Onboard were the 84 passenger and 8 crew members. The plane, as is known, was heading to Syrian Latakia (to the Russian Khmeimim airbase) from the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow.

All the Tu-154 flight recorders are raised to the surface, data decoding continues, investigation continues.
Against this background, individuals who cannot wait for the outcome of this investigation (or a priori completely ignore such results) continue to make attempts to inflate a conspiracy background. Maybe it’s enough to make a bazaar with staff screamers and shouts out of tragedy ...

Could the crew have acted differently? Well, for example, quickly release the chassis and reset the engine speed. Probably for a while this could help stabilize the position of the aircraft horizontally and report to the ground. But what to do next is not clear.

Serdyukov's "captain-sergeants" go to history
The next concept, which has become the way of the Serdyukov and early post-Seryukov era, goes down in history. We are talking about this concept as a "sergeant officer" or "corporal officer". The concept was born at the beginning of the “10's”, when, as a result of the reform, tens of thousands of officers of the RF Armed Forces turned out to be no need for the Armed Forces.
Another “brilliant” initiative of an eKhvektivny manager goes down in history, which boiled down to the thesis: “There are too many officers who divorced you want to stay in the army, go to the post of sergeant.” And passed. And what was left for the people to do? .. You had to see lieutenants at the posts of section commanders, and captains - zamkomvzvod. Thank God, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation completely get rid of the “brilliant” initiative from 1 in January. If I could get rid of “eHvective managers”, because of the critical “indispensability” of which, they are constantly under the lure of places.

On the eve of a new, 2017, year, there was again talk of a gas transit war between Russia and Ukraine, and its consequences. Around the transit of Russian gas to Europe has long been a great world politics, and European in general, one can say, hangs on the gas end.
The gas question is our “karma”. As long as the transitors will sit on the pipe, similar to the Ukrainian “friends” from all sorts of thieves' clans and obshchak, one cannot expect any changes. Although, it seems that even if all the sea gas pipelines are built, the brotherly instinct will again wake up, which will say: maybe, after all, leave them something in the pipe - well, let them steal, let them shit on your head ... well all the same brotherly ...

Russia would have closed this topic a long time ago with the transportation of gas through Ukraine, if the US and the EU had lost interest in Ukraine, but it does not disappear. They want to keep Ukraine in the orbit of their interests and use it as a lever of pressure on Russia, but at the same time Ukraine to feed at the expense of Russia. We must pay tribute - they still get it and they have to reckon with this fact.

Many people will not like it here. He behaves as he sees fit for the good of his homeland. Unconditional support for Russia's policy for Belarus would have resulted in even greater and deeper problems due to the isolation of the country. And we would not help the Belarusians in their problems ... We have our own politics, slurred, "tomato", so to speak. Turkey is an example.

The pace of rearmament of the Russian army, as noted in the main military department, generally remain at the planned levels. It is worth recalling that in these very plans the update of 70% of armaments in the RF Armed Forces by 2020 is indicated. There is not just a rearmament of the army, but also its qualitative revival. To understand, it is worth comparing with what was still 15-20 years ago. Then about the Russian army, as they say, not clinking glasses ... Now the main thing is not to turn away from the chosen path and not to forget that Russia has only two friends.

Tank losses
The network has a table with data about the Turkish military equipment in Syria. According to the data cited, the Turkish army lost at least ten Leopard 2A4 tanks during the storming of the city of Al-Bab.
The deplorable results of the use of the Leopard-2А4 and М60Т tanks in Syria should spur the developers of the Turkish company Aselsan to create the AKKOR active protection complex (KAZ), the Herald of Mordovia writes. “This is a circular defense system for promising armored vehicles, in particular, new-generation Altai tanks. It consists of two circular launchers with dual launchers for launching mini-interceptors and four locators for detecting objects flying towards the tank. All AKKOR parameters are controlled by a computer, ”explains the author of the article Roman Katkov.
As stated in the company, KAZ will be able to intercept "all available anti-tank guided missiles and rocket grenades"
The sad experience of using Turkish tanks in Syria should accelerate the creation of KAZ
The “small victorious war” that Turkey had dreamed of seems to have turned into full-scale hostilities with real losses.
On the other hand, the militants do not celebrate victory. According to the agency "Anadolu", which leads Gazeta.ru, the terrorists lost in the battles up to two hundred people. In total, since the beginning of Operation Operation Euphrates, about a thousand militants were killed. That is why President Erdogan said earlier that the “IG” (prohibited in the Russian Federation) in “Al-Bab” “survives the last days”.

Ceasefire
In Syria, a truce has been declared since December 30. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a cease-fire in Syria and a transition to a political process in the territories liberated from the terrorist groups recognized as such by the UN Security Council.
During the meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the Russian president noted: “It has just been reported that an event happened a few hours ago that we did not just wait for a long time, but we worked a lot to get closer. Signed three documents. The first document between the Syrian government and the armed opposition on a cease-fire in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. The second document is a set of measures to monitor the cease-fire. And the third document is a statement of readiness for the start of peace talks on a Syrian settlement. All the agreements reached, we are perfectly aware of them, they are very fragile, they require special attention and patience, a professional approach to these issues and constant contact with our partners. ”
Vladimir Putin announced the agreement to end the fighting in Syria
True, on the eve of the truce, the Russian embassy in Damascus was subjected to several terrorist attacks at once. First, 28 December, on the eve of the signing of documents, and then 29 December, as soon as it became known about the signing, reminds Elena Gromova. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Life will show how the “opposition” will observe the cease-fire, but it seems that the president of the UAR is right, Bashar al-Assad. In an interview with the Italian television channel TG5, he said: “It’s not that the war is over until the terrorists are destroyed in Syria. But, unfortunately, they still enjoy external support from other countries. Among them are Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and many Western states. ”

President Assad’s Deadline
Syria is likely to be divided into several zones of influence. According to Reuters, the partition can take place under an agreement between Russia, Iran and Turkey. Bashar Assad will retain the presidency until the next election.
Sir Tony Brenton, the former British ambassador to Russia, believes that, having achieved his goal, the Russians will take the “big prize”. Everyone is used to the United States changing something in the world, and now Russia will demonstrate its capabilities. All have forgotten that Russians are capable of playing at the same high level, and now they remind about it.
If the strategy conceived by Russia takes place, then new peace negotiations between the Syrian government and the opposition will begin in mid-January in Astana (the capital of Kazakhstan). Negotiations will be different from those that were conducted at the time with the mediation of the UN. In addition, new negotiations may not be related to the United States. It annoys “some” in Washington. An American official anonymously told the agency that “this country, this Russia, which, in essence, has an economy the size of Spanish,” makes it clear that it wants to do what it wants. True, the anonymous official does not believe that "the Turks and the Russians will be able to do this [to conduct political negotiations]" without the participation of the United States.
As for Bashar Assad, we add, he will have to agree with the final (and inevitably compromise) version of the informal partition of Syria, which will be offered by Russia, Turkey and Iran. It must be assumed that Turkey will do everything so that the anti-Assad opposition approved by it maintains its strength in its “safe” region, and Russia and Iran will do everything so that President Assad remains in power until the next election. To bring together the interests of the three states will be common actions against the militants of the "Islamic State".

The division of Syria on the federal principle is inevitable due to the heterogeneity of the population in the ethnic and spiritual plans. Assad Sr. managed to keep the country in check, but the Yankees destroyed everything, raised the monster (DAISH), and now there is no return to the old order in the country.
There is no forgiveness for the bandits
Scale graves of dozens of barbaric tortured Syrians were discovered in Aleppo, said Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry. “Many have missing body parts, most are shot in the head. And this, apparently, is only the beginning, ”he said.
According to him, “all the facts are thoroughly documented as the gravest war crimes of terrorists and will be given maximum publicity” so that “the European patrons of the so-called“ oppositionists ”in London and Paris are well aware of who their wards really are, and aware of their responsibility for their atrocities. "
“The only ones who have not yet been found in eastern Aleppo are the so-called“ volunteer rescuers ”from the“ White Helmets ”who were solemnly received in the best houses of Paris and London and almost not represented for the Nobel Peace Prize,” the general noted.
Earlier, numerous evidences of atrocities of bandits were found in the city: video and photographic materials on which the militants themselves captured moments of reprisals against civilians. There is no forgiveness for bloodthirsty criminals!

Measured by factors
“I don’t think that in the entire history of mankind there were armed forces as capable, smart, strong, with such good leadership and resources as the US Army today,” said State Department spokesman John Kirby in response to a recent statement by the Russian president.
“Taking into account many factors, including not only the military, but also our history, geography, the internal state of Russian society, we can say with confidence: today we are stronger than any potential aggressor. Anyone, ”V. Putin said earlier.
Comparison of the armies of the great powers and the statements that politicians are in the “trend” of the new “cold war”. In the same way it was decided to compare once the military power of the USA and the USSR. Such a comparison often served the propaganda goals of both parties: from intimidating the enemy to informing their own citizens about the invincibility of the Soviet Army or the Pentagon soldiers.
In the 1941 year, the Germans also considered their army combat-ready and strong. And for good reason: she had behind her a number of military victories. And in the "good leadership" was simply not allowed to doubt. But then came the 1945 year.
The Americans today cannot boast of any special victories; rather, they can recall the defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, and the Nobel Prize winner of the world leads them. This guy does not fight with his hands.

Putin said that "we are stronger than any potential aggressor."
And these not very clever heads in the West, like Pavlov's dogs, immediately reacted to the first part of the phrase. Starting to declare the power of the US Army. Not realizing that the word "aggressor" bears the main meaning.
In short, Kirby is worth contacting the Kremlin for a premium. Beautifully exposed the aggressive essence of the American army 8)))
To be or not to be
Outstanding victory for the American army in the 20 century: December 1989, the US military operation “Just Cause” in Panama to remove from power the country's leader, Manuel Noriegu, accused of drug trafficking and promoting terrorism.
Where else wins the strongest army?
British armored cavalry
Britain will form two mobile "shock brigades" equipped with combat vehicles on the Ajax platform, designed to "repel Russian aggression" using Armata tanks and Kurganets armored vehicles.
Each of the new brigades will include two armored reconnaissance regiments equipped with combat vehicles on the Ajax platform (with a total number of 100 units).
According to British Minister of Defense Michael Fallon, “a special experimental group is planned for 2017 for the year, which will finalize the concept of shock brigades and use Ajax family vehicles on the battlefield.”
By 2020, a full-fledged brigade must be formed. "The new military units will be a mobile reserve that can be transferred in a matter of hours to any region of Europe, from Romania to the Baltic States," to stop a possible invasion of Russian troops, the British department said.
Russian experts doubt the effectiveness of the teams being created. For example, military expert Alexey Khlopotov says: “It’s unclear why this car is needed. This is a cross between BMP and BRM. The weapons are weak, like the BMP, but there is no landing. In addition, any modern BMP has anti-tank missiles. In this case, the weight and dimensions of the "Ajax" - like the end of the XBT 70-s.

Defeat the West with his weapon
On New Year's Eve it turned out: Russia is winning victories in the new Cold War with the help of Western weapons. Liberal slogans taken from the enemy and directed against him. Russians irrepressibly attack; American leadership has come to an end; striped flag drooped. This is the leitmotif of the Western press - even in the Washington Post they write about it.
Here are the findings of some foreign analysts.
1. President Obama is a political figure of the twenty-first century who could not learn the lessons of the twentieth century. This man is happy with the fact that the United States has lost global influence.
2. Russia could not be transformed into a liberal state. In bitter irony, it was Russian liberals who played an important role in imitating the process of renewing “personal power”. The system dropped communism, but liberal standards and partnership with the West were only imitated. Later, all these frauds were directed against the West.
3. The West, having lost its ideological rival (USSR), has made a path for complacency. This does not mean that Russia has ceased to be a rival to the West. But how to restrain one who operates with your own liberal slogans?
4. Holding Russia becomes even more problematic when Moscow acts from a peace-loving position. “We do not want confrontation,” Putin insists. “We need friends.”
Indeed, when Putin says this to the world Nobel laureate Obama, he has nothing to say.

Obama on Trump's Way
US authorities expel Russian diplomats from 35, Reuters reported on December 30 with reference to a representative of the US administration. According to the agency, they are accused of violating diplomatic activities. It is reported that the Russians will be expelled from Washington and San Francisco within 72 hours. In addition, by order of the American authorities, Russian diplomatic missions in Maryland and New York, which were allegedly used for reconnaissance purposes, will be closed.
The decision of the United States to close the diplomatic missions of the Russian Federation and expel Russian diplomats is reminiscent of the agony of Barack Obama’s outgoing team, said Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Chepa. “This is really very disturbing news. This is all reminiscent of a certain agony of the Obama team, which is trying to create difficulties in building our leadership’s relations with the new US administration, with (Donald) Trump. It creates additional difficulties for him, which he will then have to overcome, ”said Chepa to RIA Novosti.
Earlier, we recall, the American intelligence said that Russian hackers were behind the cyber attacks against the country's electoral systems. Obama noted that part of the evidence in the case will not be published for reasons of secrecy. In Trump's team, these statements were tied to an “attempt to delegitimize” the vote results.
However, this time the elected President Trump did not rush to criticize Obama. On the contrary, he, who had previously expressed skepticism about the interference of Russians in the American elections, said that the time had come for the United States to “move on” regarding the investigation of hacker hacking. Trump said that he will meet with intelligence officials as early as next week in order to "get on track."
In the State Duma commented on the decision of the United States to close Russian diplomatic missions
Mr. Obama, you are an enemy of the American people!
The outgoing President Obama has demonstrated to the entire planet a complete inability to seek political compromises, as well as to obstruct himself with evidence. Democracy, spreading its "exclusive" interests around the world, attributed its own defeat at a regular election to a country far beyond the ocean.
If the “Russian hackers”, whose participation in the hacking of the servers of the Democratic Party is not proven, and were really bursting into American computer “doors”, then those options that can be “broken” are worthless.
Obama made history as the father of the new cold war. And so Trump had a chance to drastically change US foreign policy, rejecting the aggressive course of the Nobel "peacemaker." Will Trump be able to do this - or, on the contrary, will heed the voices of super secret intelligence officers, with whom he is going to consult this week? ..
