Results of the week. "Cool ... It could be worse."
Press under the press
Another alarming news came from Kiev this week. The SBU seized Anna Kurbatova, a Channel One journalist, in the center of the Ukrainian capital.
The misadventures of a journalist, or who kidnapped democracy?
And it is necessary ... even in the European Commission they tried to threaten with a finger: they say, do not break, be so kind, the legislation in relation to the mass media.
In the SBU, of course, they began to sob in grief from the grief: what can we do now ... And what if the Russian Foreign Ministry will also send a note of protest — then everything — that's that, karapuziki. Oh, what is being done ... It’s time for General Zakharchenko to turn on a new countdown counter: how many nanoseconds are left for the junta until a complete collapse after concerns expressed by a representative of the European Commission ...

Everything is calculated “to the mullimeter”
The web continues to discuss the next launch of the North Korean rocket. Recall that the rocket was released from the DPRK landfill, flew between the Japanese islands of Honshu and Hokkaido and, having covered a total distance of about 2,7 thousand km, fell into the waters of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, we are talking about the inaction of the missile defense system, which is built in East Asia by the United States and which is positioned precisely as a defense against a possible missile strike from the DPRK.
Japan and South Korea: And why the DPRK missile was not hit by US missile defense systems?
And then an American military expert appeared and explained everything to everyone on his fingers. I started to bend those same fingers and say: dear Japanese and South Koreans, do you have any idea how much an average missile interception costs? .. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to intercept a missile? Vooot ... And if we burn and miss ... What will be, what will be. Kim will start laughing.
In general, they clearly explained to the Japanese and South Koreans that the United States did not set up anti-missile missiles for that reason, so that they should not waste money on any North Korean “pugalki”. Everything, they say, is calculated, as in the miniature of Petrosian - “to the mullimeter”. Buy, say, shovels and settle in the folds of the terrain - perhaps it will not hook.

When is the end of the winding rope?
In the LPR, two deputies of the Republican People’s Council were killed. The murder occurred on the night of last Sunday 27 August in Kamennobrodsky district of Lugansk. This was announced by Deputy Prosecutor Grigory Tsevenko.
And even not unexpected bad news. It is next in the long-long list. In such a confusion, murders, provocations, informational strikes on both sides of the contact line became commonplace. People both died and continue to die. These are deputies. And how many ordinary Luhansk and Donetsk residents have already died - from the Ukrainian "fraternal" artillery! And the most terrible thing is that the list is not closed at all - every day there are new reports about the dead and wounded - at least with political status, at least without it. This is a real tragedy that continues to take advantage of.

Good, but ... bad
The lead patrol boat of the 22160 Vasily Bykov project (serial number 161) was launched. The ship was moved to the filling chamber of the Zelenodolsk plant named after AM Gorky. Recall that from the factory slipway it was withdrawn in June 2017 of the year.
And again replicas in style: lowered - well, but ... bad. For a long time built. For if we launch, then immediately a squadron. For it is necessary to catch up and overtake in pace China. For there would be Stalin, the Terrible or Rurik - they would have long since caught up and overtook everyone. Liberals - in the well, the patriots - a threefold increase in salary ...
But now there is neither Stalin, nor the Terrible, nor Rurik, and it seems that not everyone is ready to live like under Stalin, Grozny and Rurik. Well, okay - to blow off steam in angry comments is a good thing, because it is harmless.
We will wait for new descents and commissioning.

MiG-41. And talk? ..
A few days ago, the Director General of RAC "MiG" announced new curious details of the project with the symbol MiG-41. The use of new technologies and solutions has already been announced. The possibility of obtaining higher flight performance using modern technology has already been announced by officials. At the same time in a promising project can be offered completely new opportunities.
MiG-41 while in the project. Therefore, the discussion at this moment can only be conducted with the following key: “they can begin,” “they are going to construct,” “they expect to launch,” etc. From the same series, reasoning about how weapons can be equipped with the MiG-41 and by what time the machine will go into the series. In general, while the work continues (either in practice or on paper), you can always talk ...

Everything - props
From the statement of Savchenko:
“If we talk about the parade of technology, then of course we saw the enthusiastic faces of people, but military experts who came to watch the parade also expressed their opinion on this matter. So, they said later that half of this props. They brought, showed and everything. And where is this technique in the ATO? She did not go to Donetsk and Lugansk. We saw a new form and new icons. Everything. We fight with what groups, how does the technique travel, at least one statute has been rewritten since Soviet times? ”
Notes of the Colorado Cockroach. Well, where are you against our strength??
The state - props, the constitution - props, economic growth - props. And here we are talking about props under the guise of armored vehicles. Yes, everything is a sham, including claims that Kiev is very, very much waiting for the reintegration of Donbass. Cardboard promises that have already got the Ukrainians themselves. Here are just a fuse for Maidan citizens of Ukraine, apparently dried up. Or no cookies in any way? Do all now on lace panties?

New odds for T-90
Currently, the Russian defense industry, carrying out a number of existing orders, carries out repairs and modernization of cash armored vehicles of several types. One of the results of such work should be a noticeable renewal of the fleet of tanks of the T-72 family, much of which should now correspond to the new design of the T-72B3. At the same time, until recently, the purchase of new tanks of existing models or their updated versions was not planned. However, according to the latest reports, the Russian military department once again expressed a desire to get new-built tanks.
The main tank T-90. International market leader
Contracts signed at the Army-2017 forum are sent down from heaven to earth. The Ministry of Defense decides to follow the path of overhaul and modernization of the main tanks. The T-90 park is awaiting modernization, although it was previously stated that the troops would refuse them and either use the upgraded versions of the T-72, or wait at all for the T-14 to “Armata”. Now, apparently, it has come to an understanding that putting a cross on good cars is not at all a matter.

Kiev Hydra
The United States under the full program invested in supporting Maidan-2014 and breaking up close (brotherly, partnering, pragmatic - you can call it whatever you like) relations with Russia. They invested forces and means, actually turning a blind eye to the fact that the new government in Ukraine did not come without the help of the bayonets of the far-right Bandera radicals. They invested in such a way that at the same time they shut up a European mouth, which was going to say something about the fact that it would be better to reject the encouragement of the radicals. What's next? And then other oligarchic forces that came on the wave of an unconstitutional coup d'etat decided that they had a real carte blanche on the part of the United States, expressed by the formula: do what you want, just to spite Russia.
The speaker "ATO": Three trains from Russia transferred five tanks to the Donbass
Matios: A huge group from Russia invaded Ilovaisk
Lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told how "they destroyed the Russian tank"
Listener from Donetsk on the air Ukroradio: It would be you nuclear weapons, and it would be used for us
What is dangerous Ukrainian T-72AMT? "Critical parameters" of the new tank of the aggressor, which should take into account the sun of New Russia
The “grain truce” ended in the Donbas, and the “school” truce began. Has anyone noticed? As a listener from Donetsk rightly said on the air of Ukroradio, if Kiev had nuclear weaponthen this power would not have stopped before its application. People burned. Planes shot down. Veterans tanks crushed. They shot their own people in the back ... Therefore, this bloody mess with “truces” will continue until the hydra has its head torn off. That's just the question: who in Ukraine will decide on this?

After the collapse of the USSR, suddenly the "good" basmachs lost their goals in life, which is why they found another occupation and immediately became "bad." There were the Taliban (* movement is prohibited in the Russian Federation, - approx. "IN"), twin towers, other charms. And every time the sponsors managed among the rabble to carry out a selection for professional suitability for their purposes. All this is reminiscent of running around the rake in a circle.
The same Israel fiercely struggles with Arab extremists, Hezbollah and other variations on the theme of the PLO, can not eat when looking at Assad and especially Iran, but worries about a possible vacuum when destroying ISIS (*). Well, let's come up with someone else, like “Boko Haram” - not bad guys in Africa, just wild ones. But the heads can cut as well as the mossy-nosed. Find individual niggers pomoyut, pricheshut, will direct the meeting with McCain (with it strictly, otherwise nothing) - and new fighters ready with some dictator.
And then come to cut sponsors. It is completely incomprehensible why, after all, everything worked out so well.
Syrian army is attacking
The Syrian army and the militia forces are changing the direction of the offensive in central Syria against the city of Deir-ez-Zor, which has a strategic position in the region, reports the inter-Arab edition of Al-Masdar. The newspaper notes that after the liquidation of the enclave of the Islamic State group (IG, banned in the Russian Federation) in the eastern part of the province of Homs, Syrian government forces were able to release thousands of soldiers to lift the siege of Deir ez-Zor.
In addition, as reported by TASS with reference to the Russian military department, the Syrian government forces, with the active support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, smashed some of the most combat-ready formations of the IG in the Euphrates River valley (district of Ganem-Ali).
It also became known about the receipt of reinforcements by the SAR army in the form of Russian BTR-80 and GAZ-39371 “Vodnik” light armored vehicles. This writes the "Herald of Mordovia."
The Syrian army launched an attack on the IG Deir ez-Zor surrounded by militants
Army SAR and VKS RF defeated the formation of the IG in the Euphrates Valley
The Syrian army received a new batch of Russian equipment
We will remind, earlier in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation reported that the SAR government forces together with the Russian military concentrated the main forces on defeating the IS militants in the Deir ez-Zor area. According to the Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff, Sergei Rudsky, “with the release of this city, the routing of the most combat-ready formations of the ISIL terrorist group in Syria will be completed.”
The general noted that it was in Deir ez-Zor that the jihadists were pushing the forces that remained with them, the militants from Mosul and most of the most efficient units from Raqqi moved there.
At the same time, according to some experts, in the near future we should expect an increase in the number of forces of the “Islamic state” in the province of Deir ez-Zor due to squeezing the IS militants from the left bank of the Euphrates and the terrorists ’mobilization among the local population.

Idlib will not give up so easily. Rastan and East Gutovsky boilers too. And then with the Kurds, it’s not a fact that it will be possible to resolve the issue peacefully. But the Syrians have already won a crucial battle.
Fence republics
In Lithuania, they understood how to protect themselves from Russians. Need to build a fence. Two meters high. The construction of the border fence, as indicated by the press, will cost Lithuania 3,6 million euros. “We know what it is like to live near Russia,” they say in Vilnius. However, experts argue: how the two-meter fence will keep the tanks? It turns out that the money for the fence will be wasted!
Do you want justice? On the claims against Russia by Poland and the Baltic States about the "occupation"
Russian fences
Latvia wants to cooperate with the "aggressor"
However, one should not think that the Lithuanian intake initiative is something special or even unique. “Fences from the Russians” are being built simultaneously by several countries, while others have already been built.
In Latvia, in 2016, a long fence was planned, and in early February, 2017 was erected on the border with the Russian Federation a fence with a height of 2,7 m and a length of 23 kilometer. They also equipped the border strip with a length of 65 kilometers. According to the plans, in 2017, it is supposed to equip the strip in 150 kilometers. Work will continue until 2019. An 193 kilometer of barbed wire fence will be built. The total cost of the “fence” will be, according to the plan, 17 million euros. By the way, the Latvians will not cover the entire border: the total length of the border with Russia is almost 270 kilometers.
On a more expensive project, Estonians waved. At the same time, their fence will climb only 2,5 m and stretch just 90 kilometers. Here and there water will prevent. Well, the way out is found: where it is impossible to put a fence, Estonians will put buoys. The government allocated 74 million euros from the budget to strengthen the border zone with Russia. Works are expected to be completed by 2020 year.
The fastest was Norway. While the Estonians and Latvians are planning or building little by little, the Norwegians took and set up a fence on the border with Russia. This was done last fall. The goal of construction was not the “invasion of Russia”, but the desire to protect themselves from illegal emigration: in the 2015 year, over five thousand “guests” arrived in Norway — refugees from Russia who crossed the Norwegian-Russian border in the winter period… on the big roads.
The Norwegian fence turned out to be more serious than the Baltic crafts. Its height is three and a half meters, it is made of steel rods. True, it is relatively short - 200 meters. However, the intake construction caused a rebuff from the head of the Secretariat of the Council of the Barents / Euro-Arctic Region Lars Georg Vordal. He noted that the construction of the barrier would not solve the problems of the border guard over the 200-kilometer border with Russia. The very idea of enclosing has a taste of the cold war.
Those who like the "taste of the cold war", we note, got a taste and start to rivet fences from all sides. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Norway ... Who is the next participant in the socialist competition?

Who is flirting with india
In the past two years, there has been an extremely radical intensification of the Indian promising defense sector programs, the pace of development of which almost does not lag behind the military-technological progress established in the military-industrial complex of the People’s Republic of China, recalls columnist E. Damantsev. The Indian Air Force has once again submitted to the government a request for the purchase of the 2 lot from 36 of French Rafale multi-purpose fighter jets worth 5,6 billion dollars (155 million dollars per unit), the first batch was purchased without a discount for 9,3 billion dollars (258 million dollars for one car)! The combat potential of Rafale does not justify such a dizzying cost (equivalent to 5 generation machines): EPR at 1,5 m2 with armament on suspension nodes, speed - no more than 1750 km / h with medium air-to-air suspension, practical ceiling - only 15240-16000 m. Moreover, Rafali is equipped with an 2-propulsion system with closely spaced nacelles, which does not increase the survivability of the aircraft. Despite this, New Delhi continues to “flirt” with “Dassault”. There is an attempt at blatant blackmail of the KLA from the Indian Air Force in order to force the transfer of the full range of “critical options” under the FGFA program.
Such a conclusion can also be made according to an unnamed source in the Indian military, who managed to give preference to the party of the expensive French “Rafale” generation “4 ++” over the barely noticeable fighter jets of the 5 generation FGFA, hinting at the “failure” of the multibillion-dollar program. The next test "for softness" in action, because the Indians absolutely do not want to lose FGFA even in the version that is offered by the KLA. “Rafale” is not a super-maneuverable machine, which is caused by the absence of an OVT system of the SNECMA M88-2-E4 engines; “Frenchman” will lose melee air combat to any modern “tactics” with a deflected thrust vector (this was proved during the quick training battle between “Rafale” and F-22A “Raptor”, which video has been hanging on YouTube for several years) the same angular velocity of the established pivot in the pitch plane (about 27 degrees / s) will allow to “twist” only Su-27CM, MiG-29А / С / СМТ and J-10 / 11, not equipped with ОВТ. The FGFA fighter even with “117C Products” is a full-fledged “super-maneuverable fighter” that New Delhi understands perfectly. Separate nacelles increase the survivability of the machine several times. Other “chips” are: maximum speed in 2350 — 2500 km / h, practical ceiling in 20 — 21 km and combat radius of action in 1600 — 1800 km (without PTB) and more 2000 km (with PTB). “Rafale” on this background looks extremely faded, and therefore all the “kinks” and whims of Hindus should be firmly ignored further, because “scattering” by exclusive technologies has never been the basis for the growth of the defensive power of the country.

Ahead of the planet
A bright future is not for America. The sun rises for China, and for the USA it sets. So say other experts from China. The dominance of Washington is gone, the "American era" is about to sink into oblivion.
Beijing is less and less like one of the leading members of the "multipolar world", which is not at all eager to steer the whole planet. The desire to "catch up and overtake America", to become number one, to lead developing countries and move the US into second roles means taking the path to world hegemony.

One tore to pieces, another threw away
US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker believes that Russian-American relations will be "limp" until "the Ukrainian problem is resolved."
Relations between Russia and the United States are important, but the Ukrainian problem will continue to harm them. At the same time, in his opinion, the Russian Federation seeks to “freeze” the situation in the Donbas. Therefore, the Kremlin will have to put up with international isolation: "The country may be thrown out of the system of diplomatic and economic relations - this is clearly not what they would like in Russia."
What is this if not a Trump team statement? Looks like the White House keeps going the right way for Mr. Obama.
Recall that the previous US president claimed that he had torn the Russian economy to shreds. Now, Trump's man makes it clear that the White House can kick Russia out of global diplomacy, and at the same time economics.

With a pot on his head
The bridge to the Crimea will be, writes columnist R. Skomorokhov. The bridge will be built on time and will last for a long time: the construction is carried out by people who know how to do it.
The arches are made at the oldest bridge-building enterprise in Russia: Voronezhstalmost OJSC. 68 plant years, and for almost 70-year activity, none of the bridges that were built fell, collapsed, and so on. All cost. Persistence is a sign of mastery!
The observer collected some opinions of the Ukrainian media about the bridge to the Crimea:
1. There will be no bridge, because there is no one to build, there is no money, and if it is scraped, then everyone will be plundered.
2. The West will rise up for us, strangle with sanctions, the Russians will not be able to build.
3. In winter, everything started to wash away or in the spring will be demolished.
4. Patriots of Ukraine will blow up the bridge.
The information policy of Kiev, Skomorokhov believes, “is a bit like running through a minefield with a full chamber pot on its head.”

The rules are written in the Kremlin
Russians are changing the rules of the big game in the international arena, which the Americans once set in their favor. American journalist, ex-editor of Politico, ch. “Washingtonian” editor, teacher at Georgetown University and author of several books, Garrett M. Graff told in the magazine “Wired” about the arsenal of “active measures” of the Kremlin. These “measures” are aimed at the benefit of the state “enterprise”, which promotes “the personal goals of Vladimir Putin and his entourage”. The activities involved intelligence apparatus, the business community, organized crime groups and media networks. All this "merges into a single whole."
In the arsenal of “one whole” a number of tactical techniques are distinguished: disinformation; war in cyberspace; energy blackmail; practically unlimited financial expenses for promotion of interests; political assassinations originating from the “wet work” of Comrade Trotsky; distribution of dirt; espionage against the open western democracies; old-fashioned diplomacy; Finally, the “unique methods” of Russian intelligence, which are fundamentally different from the methods of Western intelligence.
Russians will go through the tools one by one until they achieve their goals.
As the experts found out, the concept of “active measures” in Russia was developed under the tsars, and neither the Soviets nor Putin discovered anything new here. Analog methods were transformed into digital ones, but the essence remained the same. Russians can dig into the letters of Hillary Clinton, or they can just steal a rice recipe. They may get angry and get revenge on something.
Effective means of countering Russian in the West have not yet been invented. This becomes clear after reading the extensive material of Garrett Graff, who relies on the works of other respected Western experts. Washington only reached the stage of identifying and pre-classifying Russian "unique methods." Apparently, the development of countermeasures in the United States is the goal of the distant XXII century.
What to say, because the Russians, as well as their Chinese allies, are now being helped by aliens! The latest report from the front of the technological war is in the next episode of “The Results of the Week”.

Earthlings recognize the sovereignty of brothers in mind
China and Russia will overcome the West: after all, “they are helped by aliens,” writes John Austin in the British newspaper Express. The Chinese and Russians "usurp the Western powers" thanks to the "technology" that the "aliens" will provide them with, the material says. This hypothesis was expressed by the editor of the international journal Nexus Magazine. The editor’s name is Duncan Roads. His publication is an "alternative source of news."
The time of the West is gone. China today "acts as a stronghold for dissatisfied countries that probably include Russia, Malaysia and a number of other Asian, South American and African states," Rhodes asserts.
However, the expert denies the future leadership of Russia and China: these states will not rule the world. The “Creators” intend to “do something else” that, Rhodes hopes, will lead to world peace, for so-called humanity is being “modernized” by those who gave birth to it.
Recall that the supporters of conspiracy theories, overgrown with hypotheses like mushrooms after a rain on alternative news sites or in paper secrets and mysteries, have no evidence in favor of creating and improving the “breed” of earthlings by any newcomers.
It is gratifying to know that Mr. Rhodes mentioned still hopes for a bright future. In the final, the “creators” will build a society on Earth that “will speak with one voice and recognize the sovereignty of its neighbors in space, as well as in other dimensions”.
