Results of the week. “Forgive us, Germans and you, Adolushushko, forgive”
It became known that the main US department of foreign affairs approved the implementation of Javelin anti-tank missile systems in agreement with Georgia. The acquisition cost of this document, which has been actively discussed between Tbilisi and Washington recently, is about 75 million dollars. The Georgian army can receive dozens of launchers and missiles for them with these funds. The high cost of the “kit” is due to the fact that it must also include American instructors who will conduct a kind of educational program for Georgian “warriors” within a few weeks of a special course.
Expert: Russian tanks are still defenseless before "Javelins"
In the meantime, the Georgians are thinking about what they should do with the American anti-tank complexes, in the Ukrainian press there was a report that the supply of lethal weapons "Square" from the United States are in full swing. In particular, it is reported on the supply of privately produced American-made grenade launchers - modifications of the Soviet RPG-7. In the meantime, reports about the battles on Svetlodarskoy direction and that dill occupied several settlements in the area of Gorlovka came from Donbass all week. They say, if it were not for tongue-tied ukvolonter, then the APU would move to the very Gorlovka. In general, a truce, what really ...

that's why they say so much about Javelins - a modern effective weapon. The world does not stand still ...
just exp
although with the release of heavy Cornet, the situevina improved.
And so Javelin has a lot of flaws, but they overlap one big plus: a blow to the top. + tandem warhead deprives a tank of chances.
only KAZ or EW type Curtains will help.
Spikes, by the way, is also a dangerous thing - in the NLOS version it is like a small short-range OTR and hits tanks in the upper part. An example was in Karabakh.
But he does not smoke ...
Nikolay Desyatnichenko: “History Georg and work on the project touched me and pushed me to visit the burial of Wehrmacht soldiers near Kopeysk. It upset me. I saw the graves of innocent dead people, among whom many wanted to live peacefully, did not want to fight. They experienced incredible difficulties during the war, which my great-grandfather told me about. ”
To say “thank you” for the “innocently killed” Wehrmacht soldiers
And it is hardly necessary to be surprised when, even over the years through 5, the next “boy Kolya” manifests his remarkable talent with statements in the style of “the so-called Great Patriotic War” or “the so-called liberators” through XNUMX. And by and large, I would like to look into the eyes of the parents of Kolya, to whom the great-grandfather, it turns out, spoke a lot about the Nazi invaders in the Soviet captivity. For education - five, because Kolya definitely does not smoke or drink ...

The Russian military is testing in Syria electromagnetic weapons used against drones, and developed by private companies. It is reported by mil.today with reference to the director of the manufacturing company.

- to detect;

- determine the distance and distance of defeat;
- aim (to do it with an optical sight - it is very difficult, the drone does not hang in place, if the operator is not a burdock), okay, if it's a day, and if visibility is limited, it is impossible;
This should deal with serious organizations - the developers of air defense.
Because an automated detection and targeting system is required.

Cornet: The conspirators almost did not return the LC to Ukraine
The Kremlin commented on the events in the LC
And at the end of the melodrama, everyone learned that Igor Plotnitsky, head of the LC, resigned for health reasons. Indeed, the rare head of the republic can afford to give a damn about precious health at such a moment.
They say that now they are looking for a suitable health resort either near Moscow or at Voronezh.
The acting head of the LC, L. Pasechnik (head of the MGB LNR), stated that Igor Plotnitsky felt badly in connection with "numerous battle wounds and contusion." And a lot of contused in the leadership of LC?

But. They also do not need the Moscow oligarchs, our federal government, our tax authorities, etc. All that they need from Russia is military assistance in case of aggravation. Neither Carpenter nor Zakharchenko are the figures who will carry out what Moscow says from and to. They agree on something with Russia and listen to it when Moscow somewhere blocks oxygen to them. And in this sense, it is useless to get in there and try to replace some with others. Donetsk groups - one of the oldest. You can communicate with them, agree on something, but in order to change something there, you need to be part of this small-town system. And we are not part of it.
And as for the Cossacks and volunteers - so for them it came with his samovar. Locals will not tolerate, so that someone from the side read to them notations about how to live and conduct business. For them, concrete cases are closer according to Donbass concepts, and not abstract "fraternal peoples" and "Russian world." Helped - goodbye. Next yourself. And who is not in their system and claims something, he repeats the fate of the Brain.
So for whom the SMP?
In 2017, more than 8 million tons of cargo will be transported along the SMP along the routes, and then the growth will be exponentially. Thus, despite the sanctions and the crisis, the Russian program for the development of the resources of the Far North is coming to the finish line and will become a very important driver of economic growth.
The Northern Sea Route as a transit route for foreign goods is, of course, great - funds to the budget, all that. But, as is often the case, we think about foreign interests firstly, but about the interests of our own ... For some reason, it is rarely heard that the Northern Sea Route is primarily an excellent transport option for Russia itself, for the development of the Arctic, The Far East, to create new jobs, to improve the logistics of the infrastructure of the Far North. Very rarely ... But how many Chinese with South Koreans benefit from using the SMP, if they suddenly decide to take diapers or mouse pads to Europe through it - more often.

And what is transported from the west of the country to the east? What is the efficiency and cost of transport on the SMP? After all, if you listen to the enthusiastic author
“By 2030, the Russian“ group ”of linear icebreakers will consist of at least three (or four) nuclear ships and up to ten diesel-electric ones. It will be one or two less icebreaker than during the collapse of the USSR (six + nine), but due to the growth of their capacity and other factors, this will increase the volume of freight traffic in the Arctic by almost ten times. ”
The main question is "Who pays for the escort of icebreaker escort of transport ships?" Those. it turns out that today the state provides profit to private companies engaged in the extraction and sale of minerals and natural gas (and coal in the future).
What would not bore, I express my opinion.
Only then will the operation of the Northern Sea Route be effective when the cost of the transported cargo by transport vessels does not exceed the cost of icebreaking services 50% of the first. When the tonnage of the transported goods in both directions will be increased in comparison with today's at least 10-20 times. I do not take into account the goods for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation - this is a separate story. Still have to invest in the infrastructure of the SMP. In the meantime, with us, what happened, sea rescue centers cannot quickly and efficiently carry out rescue operations in the area from Novaya Zemlya to m. Dezhnev ...

Tears of an American pilot
American tears:
“Also, our aircraft (F-22) cannot independently transmit information through the tactical Link 16 system used by other US Air Force aircraft. The plane is poorly integrated into a single information space when performing operations. Pilots are forced to use conventional radios and in the radio broadcast what they see in front of them. In addition, we do not have an assisted target designation system. We have to literally twirl his head and look for someone else's plane, which we saw some time ago. All this instead of getting acquainted with the coordinates of this aircraft on the helmet. Often we try to call Russian pilots for communication, but they do not respond to signals. ”
Guys, who are in a vest - well, you at least substitute it for the face of a Ukrainian officer - let the person pay out, give, so to speak, the will of emotions. After all, in fact, this is how hard the poor fellow is - on the helmet, neither to you coordinates nor target indications, under the lamp - a usual radio. And then there are these Russians in silence playing. He is a du-how, and the answer is “white noise”, then something in rhyme ...

Partners not partners
Warsaw has blocked the transit of Ukrainian goods through the country due to the policy of Kiev, said the former Minister of Transport and Communications of Ukraine Yevgeny Chervonenko. In Lviv, on all western borders - thousands of trucks due to the fact that we played in Bandera, Shukhevych. We completely blocked the way to Europe.
A few days later Poland unblocked the transit, but, as they say, “the sediment remained”. Ukraine has remained, as even the most recent pot already understands: the European partners can throw their Ukrainian partners at any time under any pretext: from the law “On Education” to claims about the glorification of Bandera. Well, they don’t want the same Poles with the Hungarians to get into the Euro-Neighborhood a country like Ukraine. They want to resell Russian gas, they want to get their hands on the territory, but they don’t really want Ukraine as part of the EU. Even at the summit of the Eastern Partnership, Mr. Poroshenko hinted at this transparently, and not only Poles with Hungarians.

Most of the air forces of the Warsaw Pact member countries were very closely acquainted with the unique airborne technical and, therefore, combat capabilities of the advanced twin-engine 4-generation fighters of the MiG-29А ("9-12Б"), which began to enter service 1 th squadron of the Warsaw Fighter Wing Regiment at the end of July 1989.
In the EU countries from the former socialist camp can not determine the contours of the development of the military-technical component. On the one hand, everyone is loudly shouting about “full weapons desovetisation and a course on NATO standards,” on the other hand, they understand that there are problems with this, and therefore it is too early to saw Soviet aircraft and tanks. Understand that the Americans put their radars on, but in the case of a mess they are unlikely to really "harness" for some kind of Poland. After all, to fight and foul are two different things.

How did Turkey become the enemy of NATO
Turks suddenly became enemies of NATO. President Erdogan said that the purpose of the provocation at the NATO exercises “Trident Javelin” (held in Norway from 8 to November 17) was not himself, but the whole of Turkey and the Turkish people. According to the president, the organizers of the exercises put up a stand with portraits of "enemies", one of which depicted the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and the other the current president of Turkey.
Erdogan was told about this by the head of the Turkish General Staff, he also decided to withdraw the 40 servicemen from the Turkish army. The president supported this decision.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg apologized to Ankara for the insult inflicted, and the head of the Norwegian Defense Ministry confined himself to regret about this.
Erdogan: a provocation on the teachings of NATO insulted the entire Turkish people
Another scandal broke out between Turkey and the West.
In response to threats by the US Air Force to refuse to supply the latest F-35 fighter aircraft due to the Ankara’s purchase of the Russian C-400 system, the Turkish authorities announced that they would consider disabling the NATO AN-TPY-2 NATO radar, which has been in the Republic since 2012.
Earlier, the representative of the US Air Force said that if Turkey still acquired the Russian anti-aircraft system C-400, it would not only be allowed to connect to similar NATO systems, but they could also refuse to supply F-35 fighter jets.

American Napoleons are not required here.
Events in the Syrian theater of war "are increasingly confidently demonstrating the gradual and inevitable ousting of Napoleonic ambitions of the White House from the Middle East agenda, carefully reviewed in the past three days by the heads of leading regional superpowers - Russia, Iran and Turkey, as well as the chiefs of the general staffs of these states at the meeting" Middle East trio, writes columnist E. Damantsev.
Decisive week of November: Moscow and Donbas are given only days for reflection. "Otvetka" United States for Abu Kemal
Consultations among leaders Vladimir Putin, Hassan Rouhani and Recep Erdogan, as well as military commanders in the person of Valery Gerasimov, Mohammad Bagheri and Hulusi Akar, did not go unnoticed by the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services, the fight against the Western special services.

For the first time in recent years of a similar level, tripartite talks are held without taking into account the interests of the fourth, not invited, “player” - Washington, whose influence will now be constrained within the 500-kilometer tactical “cauldron” called Syrian Kurdistan, which is bounded from the south by the course of the Euphrates and the line of contact with the Syrian Arab army, from the east - the Syrian-Iraqi border, and from the north - the Syrian-Turkish border.

Washington was not invited
The US media continues to express outrage over why Russia “not at least formally” invited representatives of the United States to Sochi to discuss issues of the future of Syria. Recall that Russian President Vladimir Putin first held a meeting with UAR President Bashar Assad, and then participated in a tripartite discussion of the issues of a political settlement in Syria with the leaders of Iran and Turkey.
CNN even called the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Erdogan and Rouhani "analogue of the Yalta conference." Quote from the material: “They gathered in Sochi to make an attempt to decide the fate of post-war Syria. From Putin’s point of view, the situation looks like a clear success for Russia in the Middle East. ”
US media outraged: why Putin did not invite the United States to Sochi to meet in Syria?
According to the logic of the Washington media, Russia would certainly have invited Americans to a meeting. But it’s not quite clear in what format the American delegation was “going” to participate in the discussion of the Syrian problem, if it does not accept the Assad presidency, and the United States included Syria and Iran on the list of countries that “support terrorism”. Moreover, any contact with Russia in the USA automatically becomes a pretext for another wave of conspiracy science from the series “That's proof of Trump's ties with Russia”!

For the Smolensk road, on which the French army was retreating after Napoleon realized that Moscow is a very expensive city, leaving thousands of innocently frozen soldiers on the sidelines who wanted to live peacefully and did not want to fight.
For those innocent people who lay down their heads in the so-called Russia. For the Swedes, Turks, Poles and Germans, who, it turns out, wanted to live peacefully and did not want to fight, but for some reason turned out to be in Russia. And now for this meeting, which is called the “analogue of the Yalta Conference” and which left an indelible impression on the US ... Pay again?
Who punishes the West?
The prolonged scandal associated with the “state doping system” in Russia led to a predictable decision of the board of founders of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA): The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) will not be restored in its status. Meanwhile, the head of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, popularly explained that Russian candidates for Olympic performances in Pyeongchang participate in qualifying competitions and pass doping tests confirming the integrity of athletes. However, in the West, Zhukov’s opinion is not interested.
It remains to wait for the decision of the IOC Executive Committee (December 5 — 7 will be known) about the participation (non-participation) of Russia in the upcoming Olympiad.
As for WADA, they have repeatedly stated that they are not going to influence anyone in the IOC and will take a decision of the committee, whatever that may be. Such statements, whatever they are based on, seem dubious, because the IOC cannot ignore such a loud international scandal, in which the press throws a coal every day. Passions are very high. Therefore, it is likely that the IOC will “allow” Russian athletes to go to the winter games in the so-called neutral status, that is, not under the flag of the Motherland. This will mean the reluctance of officials from international sports, as they say, "to punish athletes."
Well, of course, the West only wants to punish the Russian Olympic Committee. This is the same as with the sanctions: the West wants to punish Putin and his entourage, but not the Russian people. But for some reason the last suffers ...

But in the West, of course, they are well aware of it, so after 2014 of the year (when the conflict with the West entered the acute stage) they seemed to pull the string on themselves, showed that you can play the game together. Using the weak work of Russia in sports institutions (except for the drift of money), they began to consistently beat precisely on sports, trying to weaken the Kremlin’s “propaganda” as much as possible. But, for example, such actions against a much more principled enemy for the West (DPRK) are simply meaningless, since for them the sport of higher achievements is of little importance.
So, we should expect further actions in this direction: most likely, a Jesuit decision on the winter Olympics will be made - to allow athletes, but under a neutral flag. World Cup will not take away, but different provocations will be necessary.

The solution of "epochal importance"
The International War Crimes Tribunal in the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) sentenced Ratko Mladic to a man who felt bad in a courtroom but who, having gathered his last strength, said: “This is all a lie, this is a NATO court!” , the sentence is read in his absence. The verdict is harsh: life imprisonment.
The imposition of the sentence had already been arranged in advance by such an entourage that it was difficult to hope for the slightest objectivity. “Any sentence, except for life imprisonment, will be an insult to the memory of the victims, both living and dead, and the humiliation of justice,” stated the ICTY prosecutor Alan Teager. Another prosecutor, Serge Brammertz, said that the verdict would be "a decision of epochal importance."
The observer Elena Gromova reminds that at the beginning of November, the defense of General Mladic requested to postpone the sentencing and let the doctors examine the defendant. It would seem that this is a reasonable request, and the elementary principles of humanism require it to be fulfilled ... However, the European Tribunal ... forbade doctors to access Mladic! With the wording that this (visiting doctors) is bad for his health!
Auschwitz-worthy statement! Perhaps the Hague judgment even surpassed the Nazi concentration camps in this matter and in this formulation.

How the super owner saved in front of KJB
What is the United States against Russia? What is Trump vs. Putin? Almost nothing. It’s easy to explain: no super owner can stand up to a KGB man. The KGB always wins, the KGB always wins, even if with the help of lies. Some Western media think so.
The lauded American bargaining art that has met with KJB is inferior to KJB. The KGB always wins, according to John McLaughlin, whose article was published in the journal "Politico".
The expert made such a conclusion “from a strange episode” of a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump believes Putin and in fact admits that Moscow “did not interfere” in the American elections in 2016.
John McLaughlin stubbornly sees the dominance of the “Russian KGB” and the “lie” of Moscow, about which America knows from somewhere that it is a lie. How does he know, Mr. McLaughlin does not speak. Perhaps he, like the unforgettable Jen Psaki, needs to “look in the office.”

And this question is primarily interested in? Professional politicians - never. The specificity of their upbringing is such that in principle they are not able to raise some topics. Since the slightest hint, a shadow, a sound that intelligence was somehow interested, and you can say goodbye to a political career. This Castro could not be eliminated. And in their own country, the guys who are forbidden to work in it are practically omnipotent.
But Trump is from another party. His "pay off" is not easy. Not Castro, but not Obama any. It would seem that such a question is contrived. Is it true? Why are the States in such a dead end now? As one great person said, every problem has a name and a surname. Yeah. The names and surnames of those who led their country to a dead end, it will be easy to find. Yes, in general it is simple - they scream heartily, what a bad Trump.
The horror of the present time is a financial auditor. And the analysis of the activities of the last years 15 ... Yes, yes. It's all about Putin. Who else?

Russian flying saucer in the sky over Oregon
The “incident” with an unidentified flying object happened in the sky over Oregon (USA) as early as October 25, but it became known about it only a few days ago.
Pilots of civilian flights reported an unidentified white object flying at almost 700 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 10 kilometers, approaching planes at 20 kilometers. The American F-15 that were alerted could not intercept the object.
Internet users tried to explain what happened.
“This is a Russian invasion. This is what Americans with brainwashed thinkers, ”writes one Brainwashington.
“How did they let this device go?” Was he moving too fast or was the F-15 so slow? It is strange that the Ministry of Internal Security was not interested in this, ”notes Uranium1.
“If I mention UFOs now, I’ll look like crazy. But note that this object made a sharp turn to the north, moving at great speed, with which civilian aircraft do not fly. We are trying to pass some kind of sign. But do not expect the government to talk about it, ”writes ThomasT.
Earlier, we recall the representatives of the US Air Force and the Federal Civil Administration aviation confirmed the appearance of an unidentified "aircraft" in the sky.
Strangely, we note that Internet users have not called on the government to fight the Russians, whose plates move freely in the American sky, showing the tail of “so slow” F-15.
As for the “mark” that was filed from the plate, then this is Comrade Putin scattered leaflets over Oregon. There was only one word in the text: “Surrender!”

Or maybe give up?
The United States has military means to counter the capabilities of the Russian army in the proposed European theater of operations. However, the United States and NATO do not have enough forces for "frontal confrontation" with Moscow. The most experienced American experts in such issues, including generals with a large number of stars on shoulder straps, say this.
NATO anxiety due to Russia is growing every day. The latest NATO tension is connected precisely with the modernization of Russian nuclear weapons. The Alliance believes that such a thing can not be left unanswered, because the violation of parity may well lead to bad political consequences. It is time to act! But how?
Other NATO states have no doubt that Russia behaves in the style of the Cold War. So it was forty years ago, when the P-14 missiles were replaced with RSD-10. It was then that I had to place American Persings in Europe as a response to the Russians. Now and now, other observers write, you should “do something”. True, what exactly to do in NATO do not know. It is believed that today's Europe does not have an air defense shield that would be able to stop the upgraded Russian missiles.
Maybe give up?
