During takeoff, the Su-24 front bomber crashed. The plane was unable to gain altitude, going beyond the runway of the airfield. The aircraft broke off the front landing gear, fuel ignition occurred and detonation of ammunition. It is known that the crew members of the aircraft (the pilot and navigator) were killed.
The media called the names of the dead in Syria, Russian pilots
We express our sincere condolences to the families of the dead pilots. We hope that the main defense department will provide all the necessary assistance to relatives and friends who are faced with incredible grief. The whole country is facing. It hurts very much when those for whom the duty of service and the honor of an officer are not empty sounds go.

Well, for "Anadyr." Who said, "not clinking glasses"?
The overseas media paranoia in relation to Russia has reached such proportions that any sea transport towards Cuba from the Russian Federation is perceived, well, almost as a segment of the repetition of the operation “Anadyr” 55-year-old. Apparently, in the States, exaggerating as much as possible, they are trying to announce that Russia is not delivering humanitarian aid with the locomotives prescribed in contracts to Cuba, but at least Iskander, or even BZHRK at once.
Instead of locomotives, they whisper such a loud whisper in the American corners, the Russians are bringing to Cuba, only tsssss, “nuclear weapon". Ships with bombs that literally litter the lawn in front of the White House. And instead of humanitarian aid, do you know what these Russians have in cardboard boxes? - It is known that ... - acoustic simulators of cicadas and crickets in order to continue to frighten Russians with the whistling-hissing sounds of American diplomats peacefully grazing in Havana.
They swear to democracy ... Iraqi or Afghan ...
Well, just swear, then, therefore: for the "Anadyr 2.0." Who said no clinking glasses? Break down...

Imperial project?
The author of the article, Yury Podolyak: “President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed a decree that stipulates the possibility of sending Russian foreign servicemen outside the country to participate in peacekeeping and anti-terrorist operations. This decree fits well with the strategy of transforming the Russian state and specifically its armed forces into a new imperial project on the territory of the former USSR. And, if you turn to storiesthen it can be argued that it was inevitable ... "
Imperial armed forces? And what is the "non-imperial" armed forces in a state that occupies almost two continents, and in which when some are going to go to work / service on Monday, others are still checking weekends. Well, we are not Liechtenstein, not San Marino, to get by with an “army” of five postmen who “go” to this very army during the lunch break, and that is not always the case. Therefore, innovations can be called up as you please; in essence, this does not change the two main allies of Russia, despite the fact that they are constantly trying to stab Russia with “imperial” because of the cordon.

Apparently, something like the Foreign Legion is being formed with similar functions - conducting operations outside the Russian Federation. That's why foreign citizens will be recruited there with the subsequent possibility of obtaining Russian citizenship.
And local territorial and national armed formations are not good, of which we have only Chechen battalions, but this is a necessary measure.

Mercenaries have no moral guidelines. Our country creates such forces. What is good? It is well known from the history of our Motherland that Russia has always achieved staggering military successes when the interests of the “elite” and the people coincided. These were always liberation wars.

And what's the point? ..
During the week, the Levada Center, a sociological monitoring service, published the results of a survey conducted in September of this year on future presidential elections in Russia. The leader, according to the survey, Vladimir Putin. And the question of who the respondents will vote for, if Putin does not stand as a candidate, brought unexpected results.
Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev in the rating of "Levada Center" shot 8-percent and was the leader. And we thought. And what should Dmitry Anatolyevich as head of state do if he solved all the most important problems of Russia from 2008 to 2012? Reinforced concrete does not change the time, the militia has been renamed, democracy in Libya. So what is the point of presiding again? ..

How many naive appeals and hopes from the high-ranking officials of the foreign policy and other departments of the Russian Federation and LDNR regarding the so-called law “On the special status of Donbass” we have not heard in the last quarter!
Each meeting in Ukraine turns into food for reciprocal statements by Russian and Ukrainian experts. In Ukraine, we are sure that the meeting between Volker and Surkov “merges” the interests of Kiev, in Russia - on the contrary: “they leaked the Donbass”. The only thing that can be stated quite definitely is the fact that no one from the Kiev Kunstkamera is invited to such meetings. For on Fridays they do not serve ...

And in order for it to become so necessary, it is not laws at all, with powerful and high-precision strikes on punishers of the ATO, economic restrictions and effective counter-propaganda.

About how everything is bad, very bad with tank the future of Russia
4 in October, the international online edition of The Diplomat published an article by Franz Stefan Gadi on the current situation with Russian tanks and its possible development. The title of the “Russia's Russian Federation of the Future Armor Force Could Be in Trouble” immediately revealed the essence of the new material. The author reviewed the existing situation and came to not very positive conclusions.
When you read that another Western expert was worried about the future of the Russian army, the expression that is most relevant in this case: “Do not teach me how to live, help better financially.” Well, in fact, if the future of our tank component is “in danger”, then literally tears of emotion run down our cheeks from the sympathy of Western friends and partners. It will be necessary to convey to Dale Grybauskaite that with tanks we have “full seams” - even if we fall asleep calmly ...

If modernization costs less than the production of a new tank, then in conditions of a protracted crisis, it makes sense to follow the path of evolution rather than revolution. And why they all direct their eyes to us, there is no way to look at yourself. All American and German tanks of the latest modifications are nothing more than upgrading old cars. It is correct and economical. But at the same time, we are releasing the NEW T-90 and the newest T-14 tanks, which the bourgeois do not have, and that is good news.

Election Day
The current president of Kyrgyzstan Atambayev canceled his visit to the summit of the heads of the CIS countries in Sochi. The administration of the President of Kyrgyzstan reported on the identified facts of the preparation of mass riots in the republic. Against this background, Kazakhstani border guards announced the arrest of those who tried to carry ammunition across the border.
Today in Kyrgyzstan elections. The current president, Almazbek Atambayev, does not have the right to be re-elected under the constitution. But Almazbek Atambayev wants to quietly transfer power to a successor, but he is well aware of the Kyrgyz, so to speak, features of the “transfer” of the presidency. I myself participated ...

There, the people are "outraged" that the National Academy of Sciences has met with candidates for the presidency. Maybe that's why from the Kyrgyz side there are some misunderstandings that we want to push someone. But this is from the realm of fantasy, because One of the first visits will be to Astana due to regularly allocated assistance. For this year, an additional 60mln. on the laboratory for certification and verification of agricultural products. They are outraged that we do not miss such products (without San. Checks), so in terms of developing a common market at the beginning of the year, the money went. The general is like 100 million. And so, the intergovernmental commission meets: fuels and lubricants, flour, etc. At the end of the year, Bishkek gathers and decides how much and what is necessary.

The camarilla from Kiev (although not all of it was complete) and the Balts and Georgians voted against the resolution. And all the old and wise Europe, with twice the large number of votes, voted for the sanctions against Russia ending at the end of the year not to be extended anymore.
Relevant documents before the end of the year will be prepared by the PACE Cabinet Committee. However, this is purely technical details. Those who decided the main - financial - question, the deputies dispersed, quite satisfied with each other.
It was the fourth year since the moment when Moscow began to beat the stools out from under the heavy body of the Ukrainian leader. But, here's a bad luck: whether Poroshenko is standing in the wings of a man who in a timely manner puts his stools under his fifth point, or Poroshenko has been sitting on the floor for a long time, and therefore there is nothing left to knock out from under him. So, without stools, and will reach the end of the presidential term - but at least by inertia ...

About normal relations and the abolition of sanctions
Alexander Rahr, a participant in the German-Russian Forum, believes that the “American hysteria” concerning “Russian intervention” in the Western elections did not affect the elections to the Bundestag. Rahr is convinced that the majority of German citizens are in favor of normalizing relations with the Russian Federation. The image of an enemy that some politicians imposed on the Germans in the election campaign is unacceptable for them.
In the meantime, the European edition of the European Truth reported on the upcoming Zrade in the Council of Europe. The submission states that a draft resolution was prepared in the PACE camp, providing for measures to lift the sanctions on the Russian Federation (this is about deprivation of voting rights in PACE). The resolution is co-authored by the head of the Socialist faction in PACE, Michele Nicoletti, who will be included in the leadership of the organization. The document allegedly contains norms that can lead to the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions.
Europe will pay for anti-Russian sanctions
Europe wants to negotiate with the Russians, the United States against, and Ukraine in the middle
Paper can endure. In reality, hardly anyone will lift the sanctions.
There is a real war of sanctions unleashed by the United States against Russia. The allies of the United States — European states — were drawn into this war. Germany, which is very concerned about energy projects with Moscow, seems to have come to its senses, and too late: the situation has reached the level of "hopeless". This is recognized by those people in Germany who think about the need to lift the sanctions.
In fact, the entire EU has become a hostage of the new cold war. Wars are more economic than political. And the United States is unlikely to give up this war in the coming years: in the future, gentlemen, the US congressmen are set only to strengthen the sanctions. Well, Mr. Trump together with them is set to trade gas in Europe. American gas, which, according to the plans of the White House strategists, will force out Russian gas. What kind of cancellation of sanctions!

The cold war continues. The diplomatic exchange of "courtesies" is entering a new stage. In Moscow, they can answer the White House: a new expulsion of diplomats from Russia is not excluded. However, some experts believe that the Russian Foreign Ministry is characterized by the line "all the time to evade, retreat, maneuver."
In an interview with the Free Press, Doctor of Political Sciences Mikhail Alexandrov, a leading expert at the Center for Military-Political Research at MGIMO, said that the brazen actions of the Americans became possible because of the specific line of the Russian Foreign Ministry: “But I repeat, if we answered mirror from the very beginning, and even with pre-emption, the Americans would not be so brazen. It is the current line of the Foreign Ministry - all the time to dodge, retreat, tack, - led to the fact that the enemy bit the bit. ”
If you have nothing to answer, do not let the interlocutor to the negotiating table
The "deviant" Moscow left two ways out of the protracted diplomatic conflict, in which the Kremlin only reacts, and the White House is actively advancing and has already entered into a rage.
One option depends entirely on the manifestation of the goodwill of the two states: the initiator of rapprochement is a meeting at which the parties officially move from the Cold War to the friendship of peoples. About such a policy led by Comrade Gorbachev. Gorbachev's similar policy came as a complete surprise to the United States: at first, the general secretary abroad was not believed, they were looking for a catch. Today, friendship proposals should not be expected either from the Russian side or the American one: Putin is not at all Gorbachev, and Trump is not a supporter of the so-called de-escalation, but an arms race and an offensive on all fronts.
The second option: the resolution of the conflict. Mr. Trump does not always occupy the Oval Office, and the hawk congressmen who occupied Capitol Hill and living in 1970-1980-s patterns, almost all are deeply old (remember McCain). Politics change over the years. It is hard to imagine that Washington is heading towards the friendship of nations, and yet you can: there is no “communism” on the planet (if not counting the country of Kim Jong-un), the USSR is not there either, there is nothing ideologically to divide the USA and Russia, and the world is becoming multi-polar.
Probably, in striving for an independent “resorption” of the conflict, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation conducts a policy that the expert very accurately characterized with the verbs “to evade, retreat, maneuver.”

Even the expulsion of US diplomats, and it was overdue. Neither the Soviet Union nor RUSSIA have not conducted and are not conducting parliamentary hearings on either the genocide of the Indians, nor on racial segregation, nor on the military incursions of the United States and their accomplices.
Even today, when it is clear that the United States is squeezing the property of RUSSIA, and then some unintelligible appeal to an American court, with the prospect of many years of proceedings.
C. Čapek has a story about how diplomats judge a felon. It is very similar to the actions of Russian diplomats who are so afraid to hurt the subtle spiritual nature of the United States that they are ready to tolerate both rudeness and outright provocation, whatever, in the spirit of Kozyrev.
Turn up the scrap metal
The unique operational-tactical and technological features of the long-range Tu-22М3-X-32 shock tandems, according to Evgeny Damantsev, open up unprecedented horizons for Russian videoconferencing. In particular, during the use of the Anadyr airfield, Tu-22М3 can “turn into a mountain of scrap metal and dust without any American naval strike force in the northern part of the APR, but also deprive the United States of anti-missile capabilities in the Alaska region and northern Canada.”
The transfer of these aircraft to Anadyr is an excellent countermeasure for the frequent flights of Rivet Joint near Kaliningrad and Global Hawk in the Kuban region.

Nobel Prize for Americans
In recent years, the decisions of the Nobel Committee often cause controversy, said Gennady Granovsky. The prejudice of the performers of Nobel's will becomes obvious to the world community. For example, when awarding prizes in the field of exact sciences, the committee manages to ignore the pioneers of those discoveries that are now consecrated with a prestigious prize.
It happened today with a prize in physics. Three American scientists became its laureates “for their significant contribution to the LIGO detector and observation of gravitational waves.” This news surprised President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Sergeev. According to Interfax, the president of the Russian Academy of Sciences believes that among the Nobel laureates for detecting gravitational waves, of course, should be our famous academician who is now alive Vladislav Pustovoit.
The awarding of the Nobel Prizes is gradually becoming a thing in itself, serving a parallel political world, more focused on receiving awards than on solving global problems of humanity. And it reduces the value of the most prestigious international award.

Lieberman told about the success of Hezbollah
Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced the transfer of the Lebanese Armed Forces to Hezbollah’s control, as REGNUM writes with reference to the Associated Press. As Yevgeny Damantsev believes, for Russia this news “absolutely does not bear any negative information load, because Hezbollah is one of the main components of the fight against IG” (prohibited in Russia). Consequently, the subordination of the Lebanese army to this organization (if it is a fact) does not pose any threat to either the CAA or the Russian contingent in Syria. But for Israel, the observer notes, this situation "is catastrophic: after all, this organization was able to give a fitting rebuff to the IDF armored and infantry units that are launching an offensive during the Second Lebanon War." Today, after incessant clashes with IS militants, Hezbollah’s fighters are even more tactically literate and motivated than 11 years ago.
As the main ally in the fight against Hezbollah and the Lebanese army subordinate to it, Tel Aviv may designate a Syrian free army, a decent group of which is currently located east of the Golan Heights. Somewhere near Tasil or Tafas, the Israeli military can set up a training center for training SSA fighters, whose attacks against the Syrian and Hezbollah forces, Damantsy believes, will be carried out under the cover of tactical fighters and UAV Khel Haavir.

Rejection of "historical dependence"?
King Salman’s visit to Russia means that the Saudi monarch intends to strengthen ties between the two largest oil producers in the world, who previously coordinated efforts to stabilize oil prices, boost their economies and end the war in Syria. This visit underscores the efforts of King Salman, who occupied the throne in 2015, to abandon his country's “historical dependence” on the United States. The king intends to "diversify his international partnerships," analysts say.
It became known that Saudi Arabia intends to buy, and Russia agrees to sell four C-400 divisional sets for 2 billion dollars.
It is curious that the US government immediately approved the sale of Saudi Arabia to the THAAD air defense system.
Russian C-400 will protect Saudi Arabia from Soviet missiles and the Iranian threat
Politics in the Middle East spun into such a tight knot that it would be unthinkable without Moscow. Victories in the Syrian war over the terrorists beyond the actions of Russian videoconferencing can not be imagined. Relations with Tehran are viewed in the region through the “prism” of the Kremlin: the visit of the Saudi king is a bit more confirmation of this. Turkey, like Saudi Arabia, is also not eager to overthrow Assad, although more recently Erdogan has been insulting him. Iraq and Russia in the summer of 2017 signed a contract for the supply of tanks, because the T-90 is well established in Syria.
If Mr. Trump flies to Riyadh, then the Saudi king flies to Moscow.

Moreover, the sequence of transactions shows that the Saud, most likely, blackmailed the United States with a deal with Russia, so that the Americans would give them missiles for this price.
So in vain, the author writes that Putin beat Saud off Trump. However, this result is also not bad. For Russia, these 2 billion mean more than 15 billion for the United States.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt авavusoglu gave an interview to the newspaper Akşam. This interview was a kind of policy statement and turned out to be a “bomb” for the Russian media.
From the statements of the Minister, it is possible to clarify the following: Ankara may refuse to acquire from Moscow the C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. Moscow has only one way to deal: conclude an agreement on joint production with Ankara. The secret of this minister did not.
Mevljuta Cavusoglu quotes Tass:
In addition to a harsh statement about “another country,” Ankara was noted by another high-profile performance. This time the speech was made by President Erdogan himself.
The President of the Republic of Turkey stated that Turkey does not recognize the illegal annexation of the Crimea. R.T. Erdogan reported this at a joint press conference with President Poroshenko in Kiev. “We did not recognize and do not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea. We are very pleased with the support that Ukraine provides to the Crimean Tatars, who have proved loyalty to their country, ”said Erdogan.
How many times at the highest level did they talk about “stabs in the back”? Here are two more blows, two more knives. There is already no living space on the back.
As for C-400, then, in general, everything is clear. Ankara plays in competition.
At the same time, it turned out that Turkey is interested in buying Patriot systems from the USA. This was reported by the newspaper "Daily Sabah", citing a source in the Turkish government.
The source confirmed the publication of the interest of the republic in the American systems. And the main condition (attention!) For the purchase of a Patriot missile defense system is the transfer of technology and co-production.
Obviously, the Turks want and technology, and local production, and the pliability of the "partners".
And which of the competitors will falter first?

The third world will begin on the Euphrates
Foreign journalists specializing in the Middle East constantly write about events that may become a prologue to the war between Russia and the United States. There is such an opinion: the Russian Federation and the United States in Syria are already in confrontation, and the intersection of Russian units of the Euphrates looks like a “declaration of war to America”.
Curiously, we note that officials in the United States deny the very possibility of such a struggle. For example, the representative of the Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mackenzie, noted that the priority for the United States is to defeat the IS in the Euphrates Valley. And it is not so important who exactly will do it: “Priority is the completion of the complete destruction of ISIS in the Euphrates valley. I think we are neutral about who will do it while this process continues, and in an effective manner. ”
Moscow has a different opinion about this. Representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Konashenkov, noted that the main obstacle for defeating IS in Syria is the support of terrorists by the United States: .
Thus, it is at least naive to deny the political opposition of the United States and the Russian Federation in Syria and make statements in the spirit of General Mackenzie or the US Secretary of Defense (he authored the phrase “I don’t worry”, which didn’t reach Chernomyrdin’s aphorisms). The only question is whether the political rivalry in Syria of the two powers will result in military rivalry.

I remind you that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has also taken pictures of the positions of US units among terrorists. Plus, who should be taken out through the positions of ISIS (banned in the Russian Federation), and who should be brought. That is, they have a harmonious and unified interaction there.
Well, the fact that they otgrebli so much during the attempt to capture our guys, is a good lesson that it is more expensive to fight with the Russians. What are the losses of terrorists? 850 or more (more likely) plus equipment and infrastructure. Yes, and for whom we worked with “Calibras” and “Dryers”, we are completely unknown to us, especially considering the mixing of the positions of terrorists and US units. And the murder of General Asapov - revenge by the Amer. There is information that mortar shelling was going on laser flare.
So ISIS (banned in the Russian Federation) is an irregular US army.
