In total, teams from 19 countries took part in tank biathlon: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, India, China, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Angola, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Iran, Laos, Serbia, Nicaragua and Kuwait . The victory was celebrated by the Russian team.

Angola! - I! Uganda? - I! NATO! (...) NATO? !! (...) And where is our NATO? - Bypasses from the flank.
And it’s right - it’s not worth the rainbow Lyzars on the democratic "Abrams", "Leopards" and "Leclercs" to force themselves with some rusty Soviet buckets. After all, where Abrams shoots, lilies and chrysanthemums grow, and among these Russians - dictatorship, trash, waste and degradation. That's why the exceptional and not honored with their attention the totalitarian event "ARMI-2017". It's official. And unofficially, they could have lost to some Zimbabwean or Laotian crew ... But NATO does not want to admit defeat and does not know how.

Lampposts enough?
5 August in Croatia, on the Adriatic coast, between the cities of Maslenitsa and Posedarie, killed a woman who not only criticized the Maidan junta, but also helped its victims. She is a brilliant lawyer and politician, 36-year-old Irina Berezhnaya, a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Party of Regions (she herself was not in this party, but twice - in 2007-2012. And in 2012-2014 - represented her in parliament) .
Could it be the cause of the accident, which killed Irina Berezhnaya, sabotage by ukroradikalov? - Well, if theoretically, that's fine. But, by and large, the radicals “persevered” the laws so much that even without new provocations and sabotage (with “Peacemaker” or without it) they might not be enough for all lampposts in Ukraine. I remember that some western company promised to render humanitarian aid to Ukraine with concrete structures for construction. Doot. Maybe at the same time pillars podsobyat on the occasion.

For a very long time, I have only one question arises, looking at that Nazi Sabbath, which continues in Ukraine ... and this question is: WHEN RUSSIA FINALLY STARTS TO DO SOMETHING TO CLEAN YOUR EARTH (UKRAINE IS OUR LAND ) FROM THESE GUYS? And when the normal population of Ukraine is finally tired of these inhumans and does not throw the junta, overfishing all these "activists", hanging them with all honest people?

Cards - in one deck
24 July passed, Moscow on the extension of the agreement on the special status of Tatarstan in the federation quietly kept silent, and this in fact means that Tatarstan is now the same as the rest of Russia. For “the rest of Russia” it was frankly unclear why a single republic had significantly more privileges (primarily of an economic (tax) nature) than other subjects, and therefore, it seemed, now everything fell into place. Everyone is equal. And legally there are no those who are "more equal".
And what are the only cards for the whole history Our multinational power was not trying to play. From Chechen to Yakut. If it were, offhand, about the Lipetsk or Ryazan regions, the elites there would quickly be explained that the federation doesn’t mean that “God is high, the king is far away,” and that their laws may contradict the laws of the whole country. But as soon as it comes to the so-called “national” republics, all sorts of “human rights activists” immediately pop up, threatening with a finger and claiming that federal laws, you see, can “kill self-identity”. And the identity of someone in Russia in the last few hundred years killed? Even Jewish autonomy is ... Who else will boast? .. Even in Israel there is no Jewish autonomy ...

And wait?
The first flight of the fifth-generation prototype of the T-50-11 aircraft took place. As you know, the plane a few days earlier received the official name of the Su-57.
So, there are 10 prototypes (T-50-11 went up a bit earlier than 10). That is, it can be stated that, at least with the prototypes, everything is in order. At the same time, frankly surprising statements by individual citizens about why, they say, Su-57 squadrons have not yet traveled through the air. Moreover, such claims are usually made by the same persons who criticize the Soviet principle “by all means on such and such a date”. What happened to the equipment or object, if it was “persecuted”, just to be in time, it is not necessary to remind. So, maybe it is better to wait until the plane is brought to mind, than to make a complaint about the fact that “the plane is damp and crumbles in the air”?

The last two meetings of the Trilateral Contact Group in Minsk, as well as the July telephone conference of the leaders of the Norman Four countries, confirmed the complete incapacity of all existing instruments of a political settlement of the situation in the Donbas theater of military operations.
US intelligence agencies are preparing "armored cars" to save the Kiev regime
Against this background, there were reports in the media that even last fall, Ukraine signed a contract with a supplier from the United States for the purchase of more than 550 thousand US dollars of RPG-7 grenade launchers in the amount of 100 units. Moreover, the information attracted special attention for the reason that the weapons should have appeared in Ukraine in April, but “did not reach” to this day. Or did they come up - according to the documents, but they were immediately resold to a third party? And who after this will give a guarantee for the “Javelins”? .. They will sign it - they will deliver it - and look for the DNR arsenal ...

Who is full, that Moskal ...
In the 2019 year, the transit agreement between Russia and Ukraine ends, and Moscow plans to drastically reduce or even stop the transit of gas to Europe through Ukraine. For this year, it is planned to commission the Nord Stream - 2 to Europe, to Germany, which the Ukrainian transit, 50% of Russian gas supplies to Europe, should undertake. These plans today are questionable.
Well, we can’t understand it at all: Ukraine generally has no economic problems since February 2014. Bezviz, association, America, Europe, honey and honey. She used to live under the totalitarian-operational-occupation regime with a golden loaf, and now everything is in order. That's just eating a lot of its citizens, according to the Minister of Social Policy. So, the conclusion is the same: to live even better, you need to make Ukrainians eat less. This nezalezhnoy power and concerned. In general, you give the slogan: who is full, that Moskal ...

Winged infantry with "Birdies"
The development of promising weapons and equipment for the Russian airborne troops is continuing. To date, several new models of various applications have been adopted, and in the foreseeable future, arsenals and equipment will be replenished with new domestic developments. According to recent reports, at the end of the current decade, the newest Pitselov anti-aircraft missile system, designed specifically for the Airborne Forces, will have to appear.
Winged infantry with "Birdies" - a sort of ornithological paradox, which, if it really becomes a reality, will significantly increase the potential of the Airborne Forces. After all, today, to confess, the anti-aircraft missile component of the troops is very limited, which in itself limits the possible areas of use of the Airborne Forces without additional military support. And since the Airborne Forces have always claimed self-sufficiency, the "Birdies" can be considered as an element to satisfy such claims.

Business on “toad jumps”
Ukrainian media with links to volunteers and activists simply choked with joyful reports about the breakdown of the defense of the VSN at the Svetlodar arc. APU advanced as much as a kilometer! "Toad Jumping"? Exactly the same messages come from other sectors of the front.
Armed Forces of Ukraine fired from "Grad" position "Right Sector"
"Black Zaporozhtsy" and "King Daniel" will appear in the APU
The business has gone. As soon as the Ukrainian servicemen realized that the occupied positions could be sold to the People’s Militia of the DPR, the toad jumps gained a financial component. If you believe Colonel Basurin, then the people's militia redeemed their positions from the VSUs, and they decided to take them again to sell them again ... Wonderful things were at the line of contact. Oh, and wonderful.

Strategic modernization aviation is one of the most important programs in the context of the development of the armed forces. Repair and updating of existing equipment can extend the operating life, as well as improve the performance of machines and expand the range of tasks they solve.
There is one indisputable topic: what a gigantic potential was laid at one time in the Soviet “Carcasses”, that it is quite possible to talk about modernization even after more than a quarter of a century after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is believed that in the years through 10, articles on the modernization of the Tu-95 and Tu-160 will be relevant ...

Russian fleet "in big trouble"
The National Interest has published an article by international security expert Robert Farley. The topic of the publication entitled “Why Once Once Superpower Navy Is in Big Trouble” (“Why the once super powerful fleet of Russia is in big trouble”) was the current state of affairs in the Navy of our country, as well as the prospects for its development. According to the analysis of the available information, the American expert came to negative conclusions.
The National Interest: Why Russia's once-powerful fleet is in big trouble
After many years of decline, the Russian Navy is gradually recovering its potential. New ships are being built, campaigns are organized in remote regions, military operations are conducted. However, the Russian fleet in its power can not be compared with fleet The Soviet Union at the peak of its development.

For sure. Everything depends on the economy, which does not allow for the restoration of shipbuilding, aircraft building, machine-tool construction and other strategic industries.
The market, which "will destroy everything", does not cope with the strategic objectives of the development of the country entrusted to it. It is necessary to return to planned state priorities in the most important strategic sectors of the country, with a decisive share of the state in them.
"Virginia" against "Ash"
The Russian submarines of the 885 project are 2,5 times faster than all known western multi-purpose submarines in terms of the speed of an anti-ship strike; after gaining the initial combat readiness of the Zircon, this figure will increase to 7 times. Command of the US Navy, this situation is seriously worried, writes Evgeny Damantsev.
What do we have in the end? In the arsenal of missile-torpedo armament of the Virginia-class submarine, they still reached the level of the 885 “Ash” project, while today the submarines of the 4 generation of our submarines noticeably exceeded the submarine and surface assets of the enemy. At the same time, faster, maneuverable and heavy anti-ship missiles aboard the 885 project give the Russian Navy indisputable advantages in the fight against powerful carrier-based attack forces of the US Navy. But it’s premature to be deceived by this fact today, having rejected a fair share of hurray-patriotism, we can safely say that the planned 7 series of multi-purpose undersea nuclear cruisers of 885 / M Ave (6 of which belong to the “Ash-M” project) is a drop in the sea against the background of the shtatovskoy series of 30 ultra low-noise "submarine killers" class "Virginia", some of which will be performed in even more formidable versions of "Block IV / V".

The transition of the Americans to the new architecture of the nose antenna GAK for "Malachite" just like a spit in the soul! We turned the whole project inside out so that this damned sphere of “Amphora” was inserted, in the image and likeness, so to speak, and the Americans took it back to the “horseshoe”, proving that this shape of the antenna could be no worse than spherical. Designers "Stingray" applaud standing! Well, once the "horseshoe", then the on-board arrangement of the TA loses all meaning. The irony of life!
"Virginia" and now for the main performance characteristics "Wolf" is not inferior, and in the last "Blocks" it will be engineering excellence. Only the transition to full electric movement and the rejection of the GTZA that means!
Nofig we needed to organize an underwater revolution with “Ash”, it was necessary to develop the “Pike” evolutionarily.

And here I fully agree with Rudolph that it is necessary to continue working on “Pike-B”, modernizing it and resuming its production in an amicable way.
But I think that even this will not be enough ... I am convinced that the construction of Lear should be reanimated.

Near collapse of venezuela
The press transmits the statement of the Commander of the Land Forces of Venezuela, Major General Jesus Chowrio. He declared an attack on the US military base of mercenaries funded by the United States. It is indicated that following the results of the attack, one of the participants was killed, another one was seriously injured, the rest were detained.
Prospects for the likely collapse of the Venezuelan government are Western analysts. This is what Robert Beckhusen talks about in The National Interest magazine.
A period of very high oil prices, along with the “pro-Kremlin government,” gave Venezuela billions of dollars in investment from Russia. In those years, defense deals were concluded, thanks to which the Venezuelan Air Force proved to be one of the most effective in Latin America. Today, when oil has become cheap, Russia is still cooperating with a weakened Venezuelan government. But what next?
American mercenaries attacked the military base of Venezuela
According to analyst Konstantin Strigunov, the radical scenario of a change of government in Chavistic Venezuela is extremely unfavorable. First, with the dismantling of the Chavist government, Moscow will lose its investments.
Secondly, there will be an undermining of the "Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America" (ALBA), a group of countries of the "left turn". Events in Venezuela can further negatively affect Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador.
Thirdly, the military-political positions of Russia will weaken in the region, which, after the collapse of the USSR, already does not have the corresponding influence on the processes going on here. In addition, we must not forget about the geographical remoteness of Venezuela.
Strigunov proposes "to assist the current leadership of the country, represented by Maduro, by carrying out all possible assistance from the widest range". And you should not wait until “the situation becomes critical, as in Syria in 2015, but to take preventive measures in the form of military intelligence assistance to Karakas in the fight against insurgents”. The analyst also proposes to “find points of contact with left-wing factions” and “use them in proxy mode on the side of the legitimate government of Venezuela”.
At the present time, we add, Russia is behaving very restrained in relation to Venezuela. The other day the country held elections to the Constitutional Assembly, which was then supported by Bolivia, Cuba, El Salvador and Nicaragua. But the number of critics of the new Venezuelan Assembly covers almost the entire world: here the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. Next come Chile, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Canada, Switzerland - and the whole European Union! China was silent, and India was silent, the only major importer of Venezuelan oil, apart from the United States, paying with currency. As for Russia, she called on the international community to show restraint and not to interfere in Venezuela’s domestic policy.
Moscow expressed support for the Constitutional Assembly and criticized those who questioned the elections or refused to recognize the results of the vote. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation accused the states opposing the creation of the Assembly of “increasing economic pressure on Caracas”. However, as the BBC notes, Moscow, although it will be morally supportive of the Maduro government, can hardly provide substantial material assistance to Caracas. Caracas will be able to rely only on the restructuring of its debt or on its cancellation (at best).

Probably, as it seems to me, the best way out is to start ruining the United States and the European Union themselves. After all, this is also possible: the staff themselves are not monolithic ... For example, to support Latinos in the western states, more often to trumpet America itself about the shortcomings of their system. Support movement to the exit of California and Texas from the Americas. In general, something in this spirit. There are heads, even if they ponder: it's time to learn from the staff on the collapse of states.

Maduro ought to use these same drug cartels in the dark for their own purposes ... of course, this is not good, but the enemy (the USA) is also not wearing white gloves fighting against him.
In general, the protest movement must be fragmented ... its leaders should be isolated and discredited, all US agents conducting illegal activities in the country should be put in prison (Maduro is able to do this).
And, most importantly, to conduct massive propaganda, coupled with economic, hehe, reforms among the population ... That is, there must be an integrated approach to solving the current crisis.

Ban Minister, you have not reported!
Representatives of the Polish leadership once again raised the issue of the “necessity” of claims to Germany regarding the payment of compensation for the crimes of the Nazis during the Second World War. Official Warsaw does not believe that the payments that Germany has already made, fully compensate for the damage caused by the Nazi troops during the occupation of Poland.
An ardent supporter of the idea of setting up a new reparation account for Germany is the Minister of Defense of Poland, Antoni Maciesevich. Matserevich denies that in due time Poland, having accepted a certain compensation amount, itself deliberately refused new compensation.
From Germany to Poland, the words are heard that Warsaw, in setting demands, forgets about one important fact. After the end of the Second World War, Poland received from Germany (through the USSR) not only material resources, but also territories. What Poland today calls the term “returned lands”, it received as a result of the partition of Germany. And if we take it by territorial increase, then we can say that Poland won the territorial way the most in terms of the war. Parts of Prussia, Silesia, Eastern Pomerania, East Brandenburg, the so-called Free City of Danzig, went to Poland. Already in 1956, with active assistance from the USSR, Poland received another territorial gift in the form of German Stettin, which turned into Szczecin.
And now the lands of ethnic Germans deported from the lands of ethnic Germans transferred to Poland in 40-50-s appear. Firstly, Poland, joining the EU, signed documents for which Germany has the right to demand compensation now from Poland itself, secondly, Poland, stating that she fought against Germany and the USSR, in fact, she herself disputes her participation in the war on the side of the anti-Hitler coalition.
Interestingly, Matserevich, who is going to demand compensation from the Germans, reported on this?

It has long been time for Matserevich to simple Poles to put on a straitjacket, otherwise he will “spread out” Poland and it will not.
And then it will be with Poland, as with the old woman and the broken trough in Pushkin's fairy tale "About the old man and the golden fish". Maybe even a “trough”, i.e. Poland itself, the waves of history in oblivion from the coast will carry!

Who bound the list
Serbian Foreign Minister invited to the summit of the Adriatic Charter convened by the Americans spoke about Mike Pens’s statements to Russia. According to Ivica Dacic, if Serbia is an observer in the Adriatic Charter, this does not mean that she is going to agree with everything that is said at the summit.
Ivica Dacic commented on the statement of the American Vice President about the fact that “Russia by force alters the borders in Europe”, so: “Is this Russia by force that alters the European borders? If we talk about the force redistribution of borders, then the West should remember that it was he who did it with us in due time - with Serbia, with Yugoslavia. ”
Recall, US Vice President Mike Pence, while in Montenegro, accused Russia of trying to "intervene" in the internal affairs of this country and of "wanting to change the borders in the Balkans by force."
“Changing the boundaries” is the very occupation that the United States has been indulging with for a long time and with gusto. The split of Yugoslavia and the emergence of the Kosovo enclave, the joy of the defeat of the USSR in the Cold War and its disintegration into sovereign republics, two Sudans, “euromaidan” in Kiev, as a result of which Ukraine split at the seams, the ongoing split into Syrian influence This is the result of the activities of the US and its allies

The Bosphorus is no longer blocked
Extremely rare event occurred in Turkey. Information portals of the largest city in the country of Istanbul reported that on August 10, by order of the country's Ministry of Defense, it was decided to close the Bosphorus Strait. The request was received on behalf of the command of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces. As a result, the movement of all types of vessels was stopped for several hours. The reason for the overlap of the main waterway of Turkey was originally announced diving work allegedly searching for the body of a teenager who drowned about a week ago.
As the "Life", later the ships involved in the search operation left the strait. The body of the deceased young man was never found. According to the spokesman for the Ministry of Transport, Shipping and Communications of Turkey, Turan Ozianyk, the search will be resumed, but local authorities will not block the Bosphorus.

They want to fight with everyone
Apparently, the United States is doing everything to find itself in a situation of large-scale war. Will have to fight with Russia. But first, a war with Iran will break out. Talking about the incident with the Iranian drone, from which the American F-18 had to make an evasive maneuver, American pacifists reminded Washington: the White House is violating international laws in Syria.
As indicated by the representative of the command of the US Navy, Bill Urban, the incident with the Iranian drone occurred in international airspace. The dangerous maneuvering of the UAV at the same height as the aircraft created a threat of collision; such a maneuver does not comply with international maritime laws.
According to Urban, this has already been the thirteenth "unsafe and unprofessional" interaction of the Iranian naval forces with the US Navy since the beginning of this year. In a previous incident, in July, the US Navy patrol ship fired warning shots at the side of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps ship in the Persian Gulf as it approached the American warship.
Provocative situations are actually generated not by the “unprofessional” actions of Iran, Syria or Russia, which the international media and American politicians and the military do not get tired of “reminding”. Two sides, two military camps pursue two opposing goals in the Middle East. One force comes out in support of Assad, who is waging war on terrorists, the other side, under the cover of war on terrorists, is implementing a plan to overthrow Assad. Such a confrontation on the same territory can really lead to a war, in which the United States, Russia, Iran, Syria, and some other border countries will become participants.

Putin's spy in the State Department
The American people no longer have great rulers. There are no strong-willed and resolute presidents like Truman and Reagan. Among the last leaders of the United States does not even come across a new Carter. State secretaries are no good either. The current Tillerson generally refused money to spread American values abroad. The State Department refused the money! This is something unprecedented. It is clear that Mr. Tillerson is the enemy of American democracy and the Putin scout.
A new round of conspiracy is based on a real event, on fact. The US State Department intends to reformulate the declaration of its mission. Words about the formation of a “just and democratic world” are likely to be removed from the mission. In this connection, the Politico magazine notes that the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson does not want to use the sum of $ 79,8 million, the very means that, under Obama, were going to counter the Russian propaganda and propaganda of IG.
In the opinion of journalist L. Bershidsky, the current state secretary quite naturally (as a former businessman) feels a dislike for excessive financial expenses. Washington was much better able to use "soft power" through the private sector, and not through state channels. Among sources in the private sector are Hollywood, technology, the music industry, high-quality media. The success of these components is inseparable from American values: freedom of speech, diversity, the search for a new, etc.
Bershidsky reminds that he himself grew up in the USSR. In Soviet times, propaganda constantly "climbed into the eyes and ears." The future journalist and his entourage eventually dragged in to American and European films and books, music, and clothing. But these things were not produced by the state. In fact, the propaganda machine of the USSR lost, unable to withstand competition with the private initiative of the West!

With Russia or against Russia: how the “damned fools” behave
McCain "explained" why Russia is more dangerous than the IG
Jeans, Coca-Cola, rock-n-roll, freedom of speech and business really ate the once sluggish USSR with its Gosplan, help "fraternal peoples" abroad and ambiguous propaganda in the spirit of the slogan "Things and thoughts of Ilyich will survive the century!" The Soviet Union was destroyed not by the propaganda of the State Department and not by the "star wars" of the actor Reagan, obsessed with the arms race. The Soviet people wanted to live without the “iron curtain” that politicians invented for them, who are not inclined to the very diversity that they write about in American newspapers today. Probably Mr. Tillerson, who did business with the Russians, understands this well. He also understands that today, by propaganda, a new “iron curtain” is being created, which is preventing the rapprochement between Russia and the United States. However, part of this “curtain” is built by President Trump, fascinated by the arms race as much as his idol Reagan.

We all listened to Chernichenko, when he, choking, told about dozens of sorts of cheese and sausages on the shelves, beer in free access, concerts of famous groups live, but not in recording ...
Propaganda was both with us and with them.
But we were poked that the state machine works for us, and there the individual opinion of a private person. And the state has nothing to do with it.
As they say, what the Soviet propaganda said about the capitalist world turned out to be true. What Soviet propaganda was saying about socialism turned out to be untrue.
Now we have dozens of varieties of sausage, cheese and the rest, but with the money strained ...

Under capitalism, there is no future. Because it is impossible to accumulate, and, most importantly, save resources. The system works on the non-stop pumping out even the most minimal resources.
Even Bill Gates has a happy future ALWAYS in question. He, too, is afraid to finish in the doorway in a cardboard box.
