Results of the week. “And this mustache Holsteiner is preparing a bad present for our Tsar!”
The American media reacted violently to the statement by Serbian Minister of Defense Zoran Djordjevic about the beginning of the “pre-armament” stage of the Serbian army in the framework of an agreement with the Russian Federation. To begin with, it should be noted that the direct implementation of the agreement between Moscow and Belgrade, according to Djordjevic, began after the visit of the head of the Serbian Cabinet of Ministers, Alexander Vucic, to Moscow.
And as information about the fact that Russian MiG-29 will be delivered to Serbia, armored vehicles together with Russian technical service specialists provoke Western “friends”. The cry was raised, oh-oh ... They say: "Green men are coming! What if they decide to “repair” the equipment not only in Serbia, but also in Croatia, Slovenia, Kosovo, etc. And there is not far to the referendum on the reunification of the republics of Yugoslavia. ” And at the word “referendum” after the Crimea and Brekzit, NATO manifests all chronic diseases that are increasingly aggravated at each new stage of expansion.

To locate the Russian base, even a small one, in the center of Europe, and even with missile defense elements, is like a stick to poke into an anthill. Let the Europeans themselves feel what it is. And Russia will "give explanations" that the base does not threaten stability, but, on the contrary, protects against missile and terrorist threats.

The so-called "dissenters" led by Navalny held rallies called anti-corruption. The leaders of the regional "cells" of the Navalny headquarters, using the practice of appeals on social networks tested at similar events held earlier, brought the youngsters to the streets of Russian cities. In Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Voronezh, Chelyabinsk and other cities.

Or is it still the fifth, sixth and other columns, using the lollipop chups and iPhones, decided to do the same smashing blow to the solar plexus of Mother Russia? .. By the way, Dmitry Anatolyevich did not file a lawsuit for slander, says, ride and norms ...

Is this sort of optimization? ..
Over the past month, Western media have been actively discussing Russia's military spending on the 2017 year. It is about reducing costs by as much as 27% compared to 2016 year - with 3,89 trillion. rubles to 2,84 trillion In the future, in 2018 and 2019, the budget will be more stable - 2,73 trillion. and 2,82 trillion rubles, respectively. Interestingly, the three-year budget of Russia was adopted as early as 2016, however, it was only now that they began to actively discuss its indicators.
This can hardly be called silence, since the document “hung” for a long time on the website of the State Duma and was rather actively discussed. Another thing is that any reduction in the financing of strategically important industries has always caused and will cause popular anger - as far as this is clear, this is right.
Another issue is the effectiveness of spending these more than impressive amounts. If individual officials seriously believe that a cruiser can be built “at any time”, but for now it is better to equip soldiers' tableware with devices for reading fingerprint data or to purchase a license to operate the kitchen in / h (with a personal car for the chef) - all together cost to the budget of a small locality, then, as they say, without comment ...

And now, with a miserable economy, we’ve looked at the pants too expensive. As for the military, as it was said in the Soviet Charter, "enduringly enduring all the burdens ..." I think this reduction will not affect salaries - serve on the available equipment. Especially in recent years a lot of modernized and new equipment has been supplied to the army.
Of course, many are dissatisfied, but at a bad state budget, it’s stupid to send everything to the army. The country has many other expenses. Although many "freeloaders" (in the field of government), I would reduce and would gladly give to the military, retirees and others.

"The military budget of Russia in 2017 will be 2870 billion rubles, which is 6% less than in 2016, taking into account inflation. It is worth noting the existence of so-called secret, secret articles in the budget. In the defense sphere, 800 billion is planned for such an article."
How to us to repair "Kuzyu"
Not so long ago, the only Russian aircraft cruiser Admiral returned from his military campaign fleet Soviet Union Kuznetsov. " In accordance with previously drawn up plans, now the ship should go on repair and modernization.
The only Russian aircraft carrier is there, but the command doesn’t have any thoughts on what specifically to do with it? It seems that the tasks off the coast of Syria are completed, for which the crew thanks a lot. At the same time, there was still no intelligible and reasoned explanation of whether it was an aircraft carrier that was needed off the coast of Syria. The only explanation available is to clarify the parameters of the “run,” that is, how much “Admiral Kuznetsov” in its present state is enough. The clarification probably took place, and therefore 20 billion were drawn, which will be required to restore full working capacity and carry out all modernization works. But with the final appointment while neponyatki. Although neponyatki not new, for there were earlier - for example, in relation to "Mistral", the likely role of which in the composition of the Russian Navy is not defined even by those who insisted on their mandatory acquisition.

The type of the power plant (read - "Achilles heel") nobody will change the ship. How was the boiler-turbine, so it will remain so. Is that part of the boiler will change. All our projects for the installation of GTE or YASU will remain only on the pages of the Internet.
It may be replaced part of the weapons of the ship. The probability of replacing the "Kortikov" by "Pantsiri-M" is 146% (purely intuitively). Maybe "Daggers" will be replaced by "Tor-M" (with the name still misunderstood), if, of course, finish it by that time. I would like to replace the RBU, but nothing. Installing "Package-NK" is doubtful, as for me.
"Granites" promise to remove. Great! "Calibers" promise to deliver. Pechalka.
Electromagnetic catapult no one, of course, will not deliver. I generally doubt that it is.
There are practically no changes on the wing. Although I, with my amateur bell tower, do not see any obstacles for the basing on the cruiser of the sea variation of the PAK FA. She, as it were, is not at all, but there were plans. But let's not go ahead.
Well, I can’t say anything about the replacement of the onboard equipment and radar systems.
Eventually. Is it possible to complete this entire amount of work in two years? Theoretically, yes! Practically ... Well, we are all adults here, we understand that the dates will shift to the right repeatedly. This is what we have in the Russian Navy tradition.

Just gobbled up the money, unlike, for example, from the Premier League. Russia has no problems on the use of aircraft carriers. The experience of the Syrian campaign is perfectly demonstrated. We need a rejection of large military ships - only transport, supplies, etc.
A large number of 500-2500 toned SAR (vessel with outriggers - to maintain seaworthiness with a small size and unification when building ships of different types and purposes)
emphasis on exploration, communications, helicopters. The protection of the economic zone - already due to this, such a fleet pays off. In our waters everybody feels fishing.

About T-72B3 new modification
Reuters published a video footage of “dozens of modern tanksarriving at the Pokrovskoye railway station in the Rostov Region. ”
Faster than others on news reacted Ukrainian media. Particular emphasis was placed on the fact that "at the borders of Ukraine." The rest of the Ukrainian "interested public" was no longer interested, because pictures of the offensive of Russian tank "armadas" were painted in the mind (and even, like in yesterday's April Fools' report, "Armat") in the direction of Mariupol-Berdyansk-Kherson .. The fact that the tank “offensive of Russia” can be stopped by the great European embankment of Arseniy Yatsenyuk, why didn’t you remember, like about the billions of hryvnas buried in its “erection” ...
But seriously, that the new modification of the T-72B3 is really impressive, according to the sources describing its characteristics. Even such, as the modern youth says, “trick”, like slanting lugs of the tracked belts for better cleanability - a good gift for the crew.

More effective managers, good and different
Interfax-AVN reported that due to delays in the development of the Almaz Antey aerospace defense group of development work, the delivery terms for the Admiral of the Soviet Navy Gorshkov and Admiral Makarov frigates are under threat.
Everything is in Russian: there is no money, but there is effective management
No, well, this is true retrograde and obscurantism - not to appreciate effective managers, who, having three or four diplomas of distance higher education and passing courses in management philosophy, get out of their way to make the life of enterprises better. Who carry out a personality-oriented approach to each engineer and mechanic, explaining that his 18-20 thousand rubles per month is an economically verified management decision. Well, the fact that development work is under threat is the intrigue of the imperialists, with whom an effective manager is called upon to fight for 180-200 thousands of rubles a month only with bonus ...

And where Svidomo enthusiasm?
Representatives of the Ukrainian armed forces and mercenary units against the background of the latest aggravation of the situation in the Donbass publish on social networks statements about "how to fight with Russia." Separate carriers of such "important information" as a tribune are provided by the Ukrainian media.

Recipes of victory over Russia have undergone a significant metamorphosis. In March, 2014 started everything with the promises of a parade in Sevastopol, then in Rostov, and then in Moscow. However, further - continuous regression. Well, what is the recipe for this - to cut off Russia from SWIFT or impose new sanctions on Surkov? Somehow, it’s not at all tatty and disgraceful ... Has Balakley ever done its “firework” business, and the Ukrainian army, which, as we know, even “nuclear shelling” in the Luhansk region, is being blown away ... Even painted tanks don’t add enthusiasm ?

Sale
The Government of Ukraine is preparing the Atlant, a 1164 cruiser, for sale after removing weapons to pay off debts to the state enterprise Zavod im. 61 Communard.
It is strange that every time this kind of news is perceived by many as something extraordinary. What kind of extraordinaryness can we talk about when the sale of the whole of Ukraine has long assumed a total character - the most tidbits of state assets are dispersed in the pockets of oligarchs or have gone into a free offshore voyage (even more so because it does not interfere with one another).
By the way, were we much better at one time? - when all that remained was to watch over the privatization and rejoice at the distribution of “vouchers” from Anatoly Borisovich. But he is still “our everything”, still a business “flagship”. Moved from mega to nano, and already there continues to "make Russia strong." So in Ukraine there are enough of their own "flagships".

Bearded blackmailers
The other day in Syria the Tabka, the largest dam in the country on the Euphrates, was partially destroyed. The dam has suffered because of the fighting between the detachments of the coalition "Democratic Forces of Syria" and the terrorists of the "Islamic State" ("IG", the group is banned in Russia).
The local hydroelectric station was built at the beginning of the 1970-ies with the assistance of specialists from the USSR. The Tabka is holding back the El-Asad reservoir. According to the channel, the power plant stopped working because the control point was disabled. The reason for the failure of the control point could be shelling or airstrike. As for technical specialists, they cannot get to the object: intense fighting continues in the area.
The Pravda.Ru website observer Said Gafurov points out that IG militants are blackmailing Bashar al-Assad with the fact that they will blow up the dam. The consequences of such an explosion can be terrible. No one can accurately calculate them, because not one main dam can blow up, but also small dams located downstream (both in Syria and in Iraq). According to the observer, the explosion of one big dam will already completely destroy Rakka and Dayr al-Zaur. In addition, part of Iraq will suffer: it will wash Baghdad into Basra’s sea, and Baghdad will probably suffer.
There is also an assessment of potential victims: they can exceed 20 million people.

Therefore, it will take the Kurds with the support of the Americans. The reason is trivial: the Americans threw Kurds on helicopters, and they simply blocked the path of the Assad army to Raqqa, as Assad himself blocked the path to the Raqqa for the Turks not so long ago.
Where is the droushka?
According to the internet portal newinform.com, during a survey by government forces in the liberated areas of the eastern part of the province of Aleppo, the fighters discovered regular caches of “IG” militants. Three terrorists used the shelters as hiding places and temporary female prisons. Huge reserves were found in them weapons and American-made ammunition. It is possible that this weaponry was captured by the IS from the so-called “moderate opposition”, with which the US is providing material and technical support.
Recall that in January 2017 by engineers of the Syrian government forces discovered a warehouse with weapons from the US of the Jaysh al-Fatah group (banned in the Russian Federation).

"Sharp bewilderment"
“Recently seemingly almost cloudless relations between Russia and Israel were overshadowed by the attack aviation of this country to Syrian sites located 70 km from Palmyra, writes Viktor Krestyaninov ("Argumenty.ru"). - At the end of last week, the Israeli Air Force attacked the Tifor airbase controlled by the Syrian army (other names are Tiyas, or T4). In Russia, these unexpected actions caused, to put it mildly, a sharp bewilderment. The fact is that the base Т4 has recently been the advanced line of defense against ISIS terrorists (an organization banned in the Russian Federation) — surely there are Russian helicopters, military advisers and special forces there. Their lives were endangered, contrary to formal and informal arrangements with Jerusalem. Many observers in Moscow saw in these actions the echoes of the new international policy of Donald Trump, which the United States itself formulated with one phrase: “Escalation for the sake of de-escalation”.
Before the air strike, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Moscow, where 9 met with Putin in March, a columnist reminds. It is believed that the first tried to persuade the second to stop the attack in Syria. There is an opinion that the results of the negotiations were negative. Then the leader of the Jewish state decided to confront and demonstrated the power of the weapon.
But this time Syria did not, as it was before, ignore the attack. On four Israeli planes were released "from two to three outdated, but quite combat-ready missiles complex C-200." In addition, the Israeli ambassador in Moscow was summoned to the carpet at the Russian Foreign Ministry, where they were given a strict warning.

A strange statement made after the attack of Israeli aircraft on the base T4, where the Russian military! Such statements should be made after the destruction of these aircraft, and not before. In memory, such statements were made after the Turks brought down our Su-24, for which there was no answer. But there were loud statements and deliveries to Syria of the world's best C-400 complexes. And what do we see as a result? Again the same old picture! In Syria, fly all and sundry! Even Turkish planes! And the Israeli so all bombed our military experts! Russia, again, as before, threatens only with a cam and makes formidable statements, and nothing more!

Tanks are not afraid of dirt?
The observer R. Skomorokhov analyzed the problems of Europe. They are familiar to the Russians: fools and roads. “But let's talk about the new [problem], namely about the new sleeping pill for Europe,” the author writes. “In the sense that the Europeans can sleep with now.” About the American Panzer Division.
Here it is: 17 000 personnel. 290 tanks "Abrams". 330 units BMP and BRM "Bradley" plus 348 armored personnel carriers (М113). In addition, 24 installations MLRS, 24 mobile SAM "Avenger", 50 helicopters "Apache", 30 "Black Hawk", 54 "Kiowa" and 12 EW helicopters. As anti-tank weapons 60 units "Tou", 312 ATGM "Dragon".
According to the observer, in wartime “unequivocally” there is no sense from the American tank division: these are “tanks that are not particularly suitable for this theater of operations”. In addition, repair companies are "overseas".
In peacetime - a great sense. Trump likes Europe to pay for everything. The American cars on the bases “will bring a good income” to the American treasury.

Three billion per barrel!
Having considered the petition of Russia to consider the lawsuit against Ukraine, the High Court of London made a decision according to which Ukraine is obliged to pay the nominal value of Eurobonds (3 billion dollars) and interest to the Russian Federation.
The decision was not in favor of Ukraine and the World Bank. Representatives of the World Bank rejected the idea of supporting the credit program of Ukraine, which at the first stage provided for the allocation of 150 million US dollars. Ukraine could receive these funds from the WB until the end of March under a simplified scheme.
The World Bank decided not to give money to Ukraine
However, there is nothing to repay Kiev. There is no money, no state property abroad, which could be arrested.
“I would venture to suggest,” writes Rostislav Ischenko, an observer at the MIA “Russia Today”, “that the trick of the High Court of London with the appeal, apart from the desire to shift responsibility for the decision to the senior comrades, was also due to the fact that, according to Russian and Ukrainian participants of the process, production will take from 3 to 12 months. Ukraine is now in such a state that experts argue only about whether it will disappear before the summer or will still live until the autumn. ”
Experts are experts, but the London judges, we add, can hardly even think about such a topic. The “disappearance” of Ukraine would not have passed without a trace either for European, or for American creditors, or for the IMF. Courts would be overwhelmed with lawsuits. Unlike Russia, forgiving debts, in the West, this kind of generosity is not accepted. There are accustomed to take a pretty penny. Uncles and aunts from the IMF and other funds and kapstran Ukraine will be cut into pieces, but will be forced to return their own, and with interest. And if there will be some kind of “disappearance” of Ukraine, then this is its economic (and even territorial) dissolution in the raking paws of western creditors. This is the case if Poroshenko does not have time to sell the motherland to the Chinese. Also a way to leave lenders with a nose.

That is why the IMF (1 billion bucks), WB (650 million bucks) and the EU (600 million euros) slowed down all their tranches, since not only the money sent to Ukraine but also the money that Ukraine can find on pay off previous debts to these fin. structures (http://putc.org/myshelovka-na-3-milliarda-v-evrobondax).
Rescuer of france
Marine Le Pen predicted the death of the EU. The future of Europeans, including the French, is seen as: the European Union will die, and France will be protected from globalization. She, Le Pen, will certainly become the President of France, because her rivals in the presidential race are politically pro-European, and therefore betrayed their homeland.
The chances of winning the first round of the election of Marine Le Pen are high. On the other hand, not all polls put it in the first place.
Here are the data of the last four surveys, the first three candidates are taken:
1. Ifop: Marine Le Pen - 26%, Emmanuel Macron - 25,5%, Francois Fillon - 17,5%.
2. Ipsos: Le Pen - 27%, Macron - 26%, Fillon - 17,5%.
3. Opinionway: Le Pen - 27%, Macron - 24%, Fillon - 18%.
4. Brand Analytics: Macron - 25,9%, Fillon - 21,9%, Le Pen - 20,6%.
The first round of French presidential elections will be held on April 23.

Information in the era of postmodernism: the German interpretation of the issue
An influential German newspaper Die Welt published an article on almost a philosophical topic. We are talking about postmodernism with its unnatural casts from reality. However, the main theme of the material is “targeted” fictitious Kremlin news, whose task is to undermine any values, destroy democracy, strike at personalities, and the like. The production of this news was “established by the special services”, lured by the “regime” of V. V. Putin.
Earlier, we recall the success of "Putin's propaganda," wrote the German newspaper «Bild». An information note reported on the report of the East Stratcom Task Force (European Union External Relations Service Operational Task Force on Strategic Communications). Experts of the group acknowledged that Russian propaganda showed “high efficiency”.
According to members of the group, Putin’s “disinformation campaign” “pursues political goals”. To solve its problems, the Kremlin has engaged the state channels "RT" and "Sputnik", as well as "marginal sources." The latter are sites, blogs and social networks (why social networks are in the category of “marginal”, not explained).
Bild writes that the Kremlin uses “blatant lies”, the result of which infusion is to discredit certain individuals, political groups and governments, as well as leading media (mainstream) media.
The report was compiled for quite a long time: the work on the essay was carried out for fifteen months. The experts managed to collect a collection of 2500 stories in eighteen languages. In their opinion, these news "contradicted the information", which was present "in free access."
The goal of the Kremlin’s disinformation campaign was to weaken and destabilize the situation in the West, analysts say. They immediately declare their main fear: how can the West not lose the info war with the East! ..

Do not have time to get scared
The next issue of Mail Online tells about a hypersonic rocket “built by Russia”. This rocket "is capable of destroying an aircraft carrier with one blow"!
The Kremlin claims that the Zircon cruise missile has a speed from 3800 to 4600 miles per hour, that is, "five to six times the speed of sound." This means that the projectile can move at an amazing speed: 155 miles per 2,5 minutes, which is faster than a sniper's bullet. Such characteristics make this weapon an “insurmountable” threat.
The Zircon can fly twice as fast as the Sea Ceptor rocket, which is in service with the Royal Navy. It is “Sea Ceptor” that will be “responsible” for bringing down the “Zircon”. Modern British naval anti-missile defenses can shoot down missiles with speeds up to 2300 miles per hour. And this means that they are useless against the Russian "Zircon".
The Sun also cites the opinions of experts fearing cruise missiles developed by Russia. These missiles "can destroy the new aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy with a single blow"!
Military experts warn: this weapon will change the face of modern war. A senior naval source said that these hypersonic rockets "are practically unstoppable." “Having no way to defend themselves against missiles like the Zircon, the ship [I mean the British ship. “O. Ch.] Will have to remain out of reach, hundreds of miles at sea.”
According to the military site “Strategic Culture”, to which the newspaper refers, “the enemy does not have enough time to get scared, not to mention the response.”
The executive editor of the American magazine The National Interest, Harry J. Kazyanis, previously pointed out that such missiles could turn America’s “super ships into multi-billion dollar cemeteries for thousands of sailors.”
It is not surprising that after the American edition the British publications sounded the alarm.
Recall about the rocket "Zircon" was known last year. A year ago, the central Russian media reported that new weapons are supposed to be installed on the Husky nuclear submarines.
Detailed information on the characteristics of "Zircon" no (classified).
