Results of the week. "It seems the rain is starting…"
Stormy emotions over the decision of the Stockholm arbitration on the gas dispute between the Ukrainian "Naftogaz" and the Russian "Gazprom." Emotions were so turbulent that Naftogaz was typical for modern Ukraine, without going into the letter of documents submitted by arbitration, and reading the text diagonally, hitting himself with a heel in the chest, sounded the incredible success of the campaign against the Russian gas giant.
Gazprom terminates agreement with Ukrainian Gaztranzit
Gazprom is defeated ... Ukrainian newspapers come out with headlines about complete peremog, finding that neither the Ukrainian “journalists” nor the lawyers of “Naftogaz” are more than an 700-page document and have not thought of reading at least half. Indeed, why read such voluminous documents, when in Ukraine even a much less voluminous own constitution cannot be read to the end ...
What about gas? And on gas, she came to Kharkiv Grybauskaite and, passing Poroshenko optical sights in the form of gifts from the Lithuanian people, said she would help Ukraine block the construction of the Nord Stream-2. Has the preparation of combat Lithuanian sprat already been started in cooperation with the Black Sea Ukrainian bull for sabotage? ..

But what about the Pereyaslav Agreement?
There is news that Kiev is going to break the agreement with the Russian Federation on the Black Sea from the filing of the People’s Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Oleg Lyashko the fleet. This news says that the agreement between Ukraine and Russia on the Black Sea Fleet has still operated in Ukraine, although the Crimean peninsula has been in the Russian Federation for three years now, and therefore any agreement with Kiev on the Black Sea Fleet has lost all practical sense.
In this situation, only one thing is surprising: how have the “Verkhniy Radovtsy” still not thought of canceling not only the Kharkiv, but also the Pereyaslav agreements from 1654 of the year? Does the same Lyashko really lack the authority for this? Yes, this simply can not be, because the modern I LIE is the most powerful legislative organization, which is even able to transfer the source of the Dnieper to Ukraine in order to abandon the “water aggression of the foe”.

Again toad jumping
The head of the press service of the People’s Militia of the LPR, Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko, reports that the NM fighters managed to prevent the Ukrainian sabotage group from entering the territory of the republic.
People's Police LC: Kiev launched an offensive
"Hot" reception. In the LC, eliminated a group of Ukrainian saboteurs
Who will climb the Donbass? Who is called, he climbs
Kiev is ready for the offensive: the Blitzkrich plan 20! 7
But their toad jumps, despite the statements of the press service of NM LC about repulsed attacks, the APU continue. While the OSCE, watching
continues to see nothing, the Ukrainian security forces in the so-called "gray zone" took the height, settled in the Bakhmutka area, sweep the road, pull equipment closer to the borders of the people's republics. The network even appeared cards of how the offensive of the APU will unfold in the future. Fake, not fake - not so important. It is important that you can think for a long time about how the army of the same LNR forces the APU and how it chases it to Lviv, but the fact remains that Ukrainian troops are moving east meter by meter.

Everything is bad, everything is bad ...
On the one hand, a huge ministry, with a huge number of people, with huge money, with huge tasks ... And on the other hand ... Shoigu. It seems not a hero. Even anger in the face is not noticed. But listen to him. And they do not just obey, but carry out the tasks assigned to them. And the dirt for some reason does not stick to it.
There is such a category of people within the country for whom literally everything is bad. They hit the "Calibers" on the terrorists - bad - it would be better to repair the roads. If they didn’t hit the terrorists - badly - the state does not protect the people from the terrorist threat.
The roads in the city were repaired - badly - this was especially before the elections. The roads were not repaired - badly - grabbers, bribe takers, embezzlers - all the money was plundered. They took the embezzler red-handed and condemned for a real term - badly - could a person slander, and others, that they do not take bribes?
So they live ... In general, as in the well-known expression that flies and bees see. Well, it’s time to consider the world not only in iridescent colors and not in the colors of feces, but at least strive for a golden middle. For flowers and shit are always enough ...

Production Association "Southern Machine-Building Plant. Makarova ”signed a contract with S7 Sea Launch Limited for the production and supply of Zenith launch vehicles. The Ukrainian company expressed its gratitude to many foreign companies, but did not hide the fact that the counterparty is the Russians. It is clear that in this connection social networks are raging, and Ukrainian nationalists threaten to block the supply of missiles.
Meanwhile, the Russian Proton-M launch vehicle successfully launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome and put the American communication satellite Echostar-21 into orbit. And here are the questions, the questions ... The fact that it started and led out after a year's break is wonderful. But the fact that we derive American spy satellites, taking into account US restrictive measures, the accusations that Russia is the number one threat to the United States and other partners obscurantism — well, somehow illogical. At least, not logical.
Or again we decided to act exclusively as “good ones” - diplomatic real estate is being taken away - we do not answer, they send out diplomats from the USA - we don’t answer, we’re silent, we’re sorry. If this is our understanding of partnerships? Although we always have an explanation in the event of any illogical situation: HPP ... So, apparently, it should become easier and happier in the soul ...

Technique for "bratushek"
Disturbing bells continue to come from the countries of the former Warsaw Pact. As you know, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a huge nomenclature of unique weapons fell into the hands of the armed forces of the states, which over the next two decades became for the modern Russian Federation not just neutral powers, but natural enemy springboards, which took root in the operational and strategic structure of the most powerful geopolitical opponent - the North Atlantic alliance.
В stories with our former socialist friends can not but be alarmed by how much military equipment was actually presented to the “brothers” - from Bulgaria to Poland and the GDR. And despite the constant attacks in the direction of the "heavy legacy of the USSR", "bratushki" continue to use such equipment and strive to even modernize.
Why are we doing this? .. And to the fact that there is a substantial likelihood that modern Russian weapons can again go without payment and guarantees to the “democratizers” - using the example of bustling Venezuela, which does not pay for loans, and is on the threshold possible victory of the next color revolution with all the ensuing consequences for the military-technical park too.

Concerning tanks "Oplot" (deep modernization of the T-80UD), there are already 10 (ten !!!) of them in the Armed Forces, 2 of which are used for military "break-in", i.e. they are driven into the "tail and mane" ... So it is unclear whether they are "on the go" now ...
This whole company of “supertanks” is based somewhere in the center (either in Kiev, or in Cherkasy regions) and has never participated in battles ..... So their real possibilities are difficult to assess.

About Volgograd Tractor
According to the bmpd blog, the executive director of Volgograd Machine-Building Company VgTZ LLC (formerly Volgograd Tractor Works) Fizuli Seyfedov spoke about the state of the enterprise.
But, in fact, it is necessary to actually build from scratch not only the production system, but also the logistics at the former Volgograd tractor, and at other “optimized” defense (and not only defense enterprises) of the country. The fact is that suddenly in our country someone thought that it would be better to place a museum of modern art with stylized phallic “sculptures” in the shops of a plant than to continue the implementation of production tasks. There are those who continue to “appear” today. And it’s good if there are people who can send all these “maestro-conversionists” to the address that their phallic sculptures, as it were, personify in accessible language ...

Modern production of these huge areas are not needed. Modern technologies also drastically reduce the need for low-skilled labor and the required territory. PM such pictures look scary only for the average person. Post-apocalypse and all that. For the American "rusty belt" such pictures are not uncommon.
Example - AvtoVAZ. The number of workers, as I recall, is in the 40 area, thou. person. And half of the production is not needed. Owners really want to fire at least a quarter to make products more payable and start making profits. But representatives of the state-va do not allow this to be done, because laid-off workers will simply have nowhere to go. Tch owners are trying to slowly get rid of a burden in the form of an excess number of workers, but so that the state does not conflict.
But in general, of course, it is quite possible to build a modern factory or a factory from scratch in 2-3 of the year. And it is much more profitable for owners than to keep afloat the former giant plant with a huge number of unnecessary personnel. Therefore, the state-woo has to constantly put pressure on owners to avoid serious jumps in unemployment.
Pentagon's hit response attempt
A coalition led by the United States dealt a blow to pro-government forces in Syria. The target of the attack was the pro-government forces of the Syrian Arab Republic. As stated, the target of the attack were 60 military, artillery, air defense weapons.
Later, a coalition led by the United States delivered a new blow to the pro-government forces in Syria, as informed by the military spokesman Ryan Dillon. According to him, as in the previous two cases, the blow was struck in the area of the settlement At-Tanfa, where "the coalition forces and their allies have been operating for several months." He found it difficult to say whether there were any casualties as a result of the last strike, noting that the military are now finding out.
He also said that the coalition had hit the drone of pro-government forces after he tried to strike at it. This is the first known case when pro-government forces in Syria tried to respond to a coalition led by the United States.

It must have been good terrorists. In the USA, they know the difference and ask not to confuse good gangsters with bad ones.

Double terrorist attack in Iran: who benefits?
On Wednesday this week, Islamist militants staged a double terrorist attack in Iran. The parliament and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini were subjected to suicide attacks. Responsibility for the attacks claimed the grouping "Islamic State" (banned in Russia). Experts admit that the attacks in Iran may have a connection with the aggravation of relations between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps” (IRGC) announced that Riyadh was involved in a double attack in Tehran, twelve people were killed. “The terrorist attack took place only a week after the meeting between the US President and the leaders of countries that support the terrorists,” RBC quotes the message of the IRGC, citing Reuters.
“The fact that the“ Islamic State ”has taken responsibility proves that they [Saudis] are involved in the attack,” the IRGC said.

The prince disappointed himself: Muhammad ibn Salman was unable to perform an impossible task
Meanwhile, Saudi prince ibn Salman returned from Moscow disappointed, analysts say from the East. Referring to the "leak" from the Kremlin, some publications indicate that Mr. Ibn Salman was able to fail all negotiations. This was told by Ali Bashar in the Iraqi edition of Sky Press.
Referring to the "rumors", the journalist talks about the prince’s attempt to cancel a major deal that Riyadh had previously conducted with Ankara. This is a deal to buy "warships". One of the terms of the deal for Turkey was support for the recent actions of Saudi Arabia in the region.
The result, which the prince has achieved: Saudi Arabia has lost an ally in the person of Erdogan. Further, according to the “leakage” from the Kremlin, all negotiations between the Saudi prince and the Russians failed. The Russian president, you see, "set impracticable conditions that the prince was unable to fulfill." After Saudi Arabia announced the cancellation of the deal with Turkey, President Putin demanded that Assad’s position in Syria be maintained. And this ibn Salman found it an obstacle to his own ambitions associated with limiting the regional influence of Iran.
We can assume, we add, that Donald Trump has very far-sightedly made it clear to the Saudi princes that international politics is much more subtle than even the East. When someone tries to impose conditions on others and manipulate transactions, starting from empty ambitions, others show this someone his real place.
In addition, the prince made it clear to the whole world that Saudi Arabia is a very unreliable commercial partner. However, not for the first time.

Qatar declared a hotbed of terrorism
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt have announced a break in diplomatic relations with Qatar. To them joined and Yemen. These states have accused Qatar of supporting several terrorist groups: Al-Qaida, IG and the Muslim Brotherhood (all organizations are banned in the Russian Federation). A coalition of forces led by Saudi Arabia suspended Qatar’s participation in the Yemeni operation. Sea and air communication with Qatar stops.
Satanovsky gave an assessment of the situation around Qatar
Qatari counter-strike: UAE contacts with Israel and involved in coup attempt in Turkey
Crises of this kind in the Middle East have happened before, although it did not come to such a heat of passion. It is difficult to assume that they didn’t know about Qatar’s bounty against terrorists of all stripes or shades or knew little about Saudi Arabia. More than three years ago, in the spring of 2014, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE also jointly withdrew their ambassadors from Doha. The cause of the crisis was Qatar’s scandalous statement about the support of Mohammed Mursi (Egyptian President, an elected candidate from the Muslim Brotherhood). True, the scandal was quickly hushed up, the diplomats came back to Qatar. Neighbors did not block air and sea traffic.
The mention of the terrorists was hardly the main reason for the decision of the four, who had opposed Qatar. Another thing is Iran’s rapprochement and, in general, Qatar’s very flexible regional policy.
In connection with the collective accusation of Qatar in support of entire terrorist networks, one should perhaps expect from Saudi Arabia and its closest neighbors and allies an active fight against IG, Al-Qaida and other groups warmed in Doha. And at the same time and the fight against Doha itself.
Isn't such a zealous confrontation between the Saudis and terrorism related to the recent visit of Mr. Trump to the region? After all, Mr. Trump also does not like Iran. And even considers it a terrorist state.

Looking for where the money is.
The United States intends to enter the market with its LNG. Qatar, a giant of this market, recently agreed on joint actions with Russia (leading construction to increase its share with 4% on the world LNG market to 20%) and has already invested a lot of billions of dollars in Russia's oil and gas (www.angi.ru/news/ 2846756: Qatar has invested up to $ 242 billion in NOVATEK projects).
What America will like it? Trading gangsters do not bother with competitors by economic methods, they kill competitors. Russia can not yet, but Qatar is complete. Recently, the customer came to the hired killers, agreed on payment parameters. Beautiful numbers sounded. This is only Papuans on Independence enough cookies, mirrors and beads. And then adult uncles are engaged in serious business.

1. The Saudis, with their financial and economic problems (falling oil prices and washing out monetary resources), military-political problems (unsuccessful war in Yemen, defeating customers in Syria, strengthening of Iran and Shiites at all borders, confusion in allies - the states Gulf), as well as with dynastic fights inside the Saudi house — the desire to launch their paws into super-rich Qatar, put their sixes in power — some kind of side branch of Al-Thani's house (more correctly At-Thani), plus reinserting the emirs and presidents in the neighboring x Arab countries and put them in order.
2. For the United States, to continue and continue to foster in the Arab world, not allowing it to calm down, to agree, to engage in economic creation after the imminent military (but not political and non-ideological) defeat of the IG. Plus, to provoke Iran into military-political steps (and what if it will fit into the crisis in the Gulf, try to exploit the situation around Qatar?) And accuse them of aggressive policy. And also to force Iran to disperse forces and resources (or even too successfully, it acts in Syria and Iraq, and even in Yemen). More Americans are not averse to tightening the conflict to Israel (to act more sharply against Assad and his allies, especially Iran).
3. In Turkey (expelled by the Kurds and Syrians from the main territory, which can be “supposedly lawful”, under the pretext of fighting the IS, spread its influence) is the opportunity to play the role of mediator in the conflict or to increase its influence and presence in the Gulf (by the way, also parts of the Ottoman Empire). They already have good relations with Qatar and even an agreement on the establishment of a Turkish military base there, i.e. You can increase the direct military presence. In short, for the Turks it is an opportunity to reassert themselves as an important regional geopolitical player.
4. In Shiite Iran and Iraq, as well as Syria (with all natural coincidence, as well as the specifics of their interests) - to divert attention from themselves and their allies in the territory of the fight against the IG and spray the forces of the Sunni-Salafi competing countries .
5. And the Kremlin? Pretty rubbing her hands ...
Again, they showed the power of Putin and his “hackers” (joke, but in propaganda terms, not bad: let them be afraid). Plus, the more enemies and competitors gnaw through (military-political and economic), the less we care.
Comrade Kim attended personally
The South Korean news agency Ronhap, citing its sources, reports that the DPRK is announcing the testing of its own missiles. We are talking about anti-ship cruise missiles. The head of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-un, attended the trials of these munitions.
The missiles during the test covered a distance of about 200 km and fell outside the economic sea zone of Japan. It is also reported that cruise missiles were developed by experts from the Academy of Defense Sciences of the DPRK.
North Korean pilots worked strikes on US Navy aircraft carriers
Comrade Kim also managed to do something else: he personally conducted a review of combat flights, the purpose of which was to work out strikes on American aircraft carriers. According to North Korean Air Force Commander Kim Gwan Hyuk, the event was “a significant test for the destruction of any targets, including enemy aircraft carriers, upon receiving a corresponding order”. The teachings are designed to "even more inspire the whole army to complete the struggle for the reunification of the motherland." The commander did not announce the date of the future reunion.

Putin riding a bear scares them more
4 June a white minibus hit a bunch of people from 20 people gathered on the London Bridge. After continuing the movement, the car drove through the bridge and soon stopped. Three people jumped out of the car, according to eyewitnesses, of “southern appearance”, armed with knives. They attacked the passers-by. The incident occurred in the Boro Market area: an unknown with a knife attacked visitors to the restaurant. Another attack took place at Vauxhall, 3 km south-west of the London Bridge, by the way, near the headquarters of MI6.
The tragedy of the Europeans is that terrorism, which is now tormenting London, and before it was tormenting Berlin and Paris, they themselves (Europeans) gave rise to. Who called for a war with Libya, and then for attacks on the “Assad regime” in Syria? Who, chanting tolerance, then expressed a desire to accept migrants by hundreds of thousands and millions? European politicians. These politicians are still not ready to recognize the threat of imported radicalism as the first and most terrible. No, no, the Russian army and Putin riding a bear are much worse!

All Englishmen (and other representatives of the West, including Israel) who grieve for innocent victims of terrorist acts and who do not want to become victims of the next terrorist attacks should not be stigmatized by the Russians in Russian forums, but go to your own authorities and tell them "Stop practicing terror! Enough support the terrorists! "
With you 72 billion in hard currency
The Russian ambassador to Lithuania accused the Lithuanian authorities of deliberately driving Lithuanian-Russian relations to a dead end. Alexander Udaltsov noted that the construction of a fence by Vilnius on the border with Russia shows a hostile course of the Lithuanian elites towards the Russian Federation and the Russians. The Russian ambassador said this in an interview with the Lithuanian Courier.
The Russian diplomat asked what he thinks about the Lithuanian claims to "the need for payments from the Russian Federation for the Soviet occupation." Alexander Udaltsov said that not Lithuania needs to demand money from Russia, but vice versa: “Rather, on the contrary, Russia, as the largest republic within the framework of the former Union, which made the main contribution to the general budget, has the right to raise the Lithuanian Republic on the question of compensating us for the funds raised, by the way, at the expense of other union republics and redistributed in favor of Lithuania, as well as at the expense of deliveries from Russia of energy resources, mineral raw materials at prices significantly lower than the world ones, worth more than 72 billion US dollars. ”
The new Russian ambassador to Latvia: "When I arrived here, I thought that I was in the USSR"
However, Udaltsov was hardly able to convince the Lithuanian leadership of the need to properly raise questions and look for answers. Representatives of the political elites of Lithuania, as well as other Baltic republics, constantly hear cries that Russia “must” billions of dollars for the “Soviet occupation”. Moreover, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite called the very existence of Russia (as well as Belarus) a threat to the security of Lithuania.

"Vityaz" against "Barak"
The two most prominent representatives of anti-aircraft missile systems using active radar targeting are the Russian 50P6A Vityaz (C-350) and the Israeli Barak-8ER. The first draft developments on the 50P6A air defense system project are dated to approximately 1992 — 1994 — s, recalls columnist Yevgeny Damantsev. The new brainchild of Concern EKR Almaz-Antey JSC was originally supposed to be a worthy replacement for the entire C-300PS / PM1 family of air defense systems, and today the 25-year program of its development is fully justified. Yes, it's a long time! But the economic condition of the Russian Federation in the middle of the 90-x - the beginning of the 2000-x. was, unfortunately, at the appropriate level. If in 1999 for the first time public models of future self-propelled launchers 50P6A and MRLS 50H6E were first presented to the public, then by December 2017 of the current state of the C-350 complex should be completed. At the same time, the basic element of the “Vityaz”, supermaneuverable missiles 9М96Е2 (should also be in service with C-400 and “Reduta”), have already gone through several stages of field testing. Consequently, the adoption of the Armed Forces of Russia armies is scheduled for about 2019 year.
According to E. Damantsev, “Barak-8ER” will not be able to surpass the Vityaz C-350 in the fight against high-speed ballistic targets that maneuver with overloads more than 20 units. on the stratospheric section of the trajectory, which will be hindered by low speed missiles in 680 — 720 m / s; her on a new trajectory instantly). In addition, the Barak-9 family of complexes, including the “ER” long-range option, due to the low speed of the missile defense system does not have the ability to effectively defeat the targets moving at more than 96 km / h. Finally, Barak-2ER is not designed for work on targets whose practical ceiling exceeds 8 — 1300 km.

When medium-range missiles are compared with long-range missiles, the second will always win, of course. Compare "Barak" with "Needle" and say: "Barak" wins an unconditional victory ... "

The nasty and slow "Barracks" have been serving 30 for nearly a year, except for Israel, in different countries: India, Chile, Azerbaijan, Venezuela.
India previously supplied its ships (aircraft carrier, frigates, destroyers of destroyers) to these ships on 14, and a month ago ordered additional 100 missiles for them.
The secret here is simple. In order to get a multimillion-dollar order, the Israelis did not try to spend half a dozen Baraks to conduct demonstration shooting in the Indian Ocean at various targets provided by a potential customer. Apparently, the Hindu military were satisfied with the test results.

It is necessary to recognize as archaic all anti-aircraft missiles without transverse-control engines (DPU) that do not provide 60 g overload when intercepting ballistic missile maneuvering warheads with 30 g overload. The same applies to the radar of the decimeter range and the CWS of the centimeter range, which do not provide detection and capture of small targets with EPR to 0,01 square. m
On the other hand, it is possible to recognize neither the fish nor the meat of such monsters among the air defense systems as C-400, which are armed with huge long-range missiles, but have radar with a meager radius of detection, limited by radio horizon. With the adoption of the C-350, its older colleagues, the C-400, will die out as mammoths, giving up their place to the C-500 air defense missile systems - subject to the development of the UAV AEW.
The 9М100 short-range missile does not reach the functionality of the radar active protection complex, the command post and the SAM missile launchers because of its oversized dimensions and mass - the American IRTK taxis.
The general put an end
If two or three weeks ago in the American media, analysts and experts wrote about the defeat of Russia in the alleged war with the United States, now the record has changed. An American general came to the microphone and made it clear that the USA would lose in this war.
The press publishes a statement by General Darren McDew, commander of the United States Transportation Command (TRANSCOM). Speaking to the senators, a high-ranking military official said that he did not have at his disposal a sufficient number of transport aircraft, air tankers and ships to transfer a large amount of equipment and manpower to the theater of war in case of war. The general made it clear that the United States is not at all a militarily strong country, but a relatively weak state that cannot withstand wars.
American experts, therefore, come to diametrically opposite conclusions. One part believes that the US military machine is leading on the planet, despite the fact that the Russians with the Chinese are advancing on its heels. Other experts are convinced that Russia is a dangerous and aggressive enemy, whose power is "impressive." Other generals even assure the senators that for the war with the Russians, the United States will not have enough ships, transport planes, or air tankers. With cybersecurity things are quite awful. And all the solutions that are proposed to eliminate the weak points in the defense doctrine stumble on either new problems or opposition to all those who have foreseen the Russians.

As far as I know, V. A. Sukhomlinov wrote this article by personal order and under the personal censorship of the emperor. As the emperor said, it is necessary unofficially and without enthusiasm to respond to attacks on the Russian army in the foreign press. I emphasize: INFORMATION.
That is, it was not the official report of the Minister on the adequacy of the budget. This article was at the same time for those radicals who asserted that we were tossing the European army with some caps, and for those who argued that the entire economy should be urgently transferred to a military track.
There are such generals that when planning a budget, they claim that they have enough money and nothing more to improve, it really does not happen. Here before the press to say that "we are ready," is every first. If not a fool.
