Donbass "response to Chamberlain"
What "felt" the APU during the beginning of the withdrawal of troops from Syria? The boiling up of the situation in the Donbass has received an interesting parallel
Ukrainians were asked to speak about the possible attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on LDNR
This strange "Donetsk" war
In general, the new (“one hundred and thirty-fifth”) truce in the Donbass traditionally began: another cannonade from the Ukrainian position. It “flies” practically along the entire contact line. According to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak, the residents of Donbass "should feel the New Year."
In this regard, we propose to change the format of the truce to the next option: directly at the contact line, sit General Poltorak under the tree with the whole family - let the New Year feel it - first ...

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are indignant at this conclusion for the simple reason that then the military observers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be removed from the territory of the DLNR! In this case, spying VSUshniki for the actions of the Armed Forces of the DLNR will be much more difficult. Yes, and faith faith VSUshnikam in their supposed peacemaking by the militia DLNR and so was not particularly!
As a result of this mutual removal of military observers from their borders, the hands on both sides will be untied for the armed not only for the APU attack on the DLNR, but also for the direct retaliatory strike on the enemy APU from the AFL DLNR.

About forecasts and spacebombers
The new Russian long-range interceptor fighter, referred to in the press as the MiG-41, will be able to fight hypersonic missiles and will be the fastest machine in the world of this class. Senator (ex-commander-in-chief of the Russian Aeronautical Science Committee) Viktor Bondarev
“The range will be in the range of 700 to 1 500 kilometers. It is planned to arm it with an air-to-air missile R-37, as well as radically new missiles. ”
Deckboard vertical takeoff. Defense plans and industry experience
When a regular officer (and even more so from the composition of the former commanders or commanders-in-chief) gives predictions on the performance characteristics of unarmed weapons, this always causes some bewilderment. If there is a statement that the promising MiG-41 will be the fastest by such a year, then for some reason I immediately recall the saying about the emir and donkey Hoji Nasreddin. This means that you can say anything, right up to this: “By 2075, the interplanetary space bomb of the third generation of the Russian space forces can effectively suppress Neptune’s magnetic field.” Why? But what if...

Despite the indicated shortcomings, I cannot but say about the tactical advantages of the SVV-quickness of the operational response to a team to take off, the possibility of a simultaneous take-off of a group of aircraft, the possibility of basing on ships of a smaller displacement (they would be more). History aviation knows when complexes with low or relatively low LTX were effectively used in battle thanks to tactics - remember the MiG-17 and F-4 battles in Vietnam.
In my opinion, if the Yak-41 type SVVP will appear with us, it is only to strengthen the grouping or to give it additional tactical flexibility. Perhaps the composition will seek a compromise between the MiG-29 and the hypothetical SVP. I don’t think that ours will put more 18-20 tons on the car.
New energy projects of Russia
From January 1, the United States is introducing another batch of anti-Russian sanctions, which, as announced by the Western press, will be primarily aimed at "Putin's friends." Created in the depths of the US Congress, the new “black lists” at the suggestion of specialists on internal “factors” of Russia aim to plant a grain of doubt that more than a significant percentage of Russians (according to sociological monitoring services) are going to vote for Vladimir Putin on March 18 of 2018.
And immediately there were numerous comrades who said that from the Russian energy projects to the average Russian was neither cold nor hot. Like, damn oligarchs will “eat up” everything.
The reasoning, in principle, is clear. The oligarch is really fat. However, the logic is still crooked. After all, if you argue this way, it turns out that all the early energy projects did not bring and do not bring a penny to the state treasury - everything is exclusively in the pocket of money bags. It is clear that to speak with slogans is fashionable and beautiful, but it is better still closer to reality ...

First Alaskan Front. Sounds! ..
Serious innovations await Kamchatka and Chukotka next year. A decision was made to create a new covering army in the person of the Air Force and Air Defense. The army will be created on the basis of existing units and units of the Eastern Military District and the Pacific fleet.
In fact, the statements on the creation of armies seem to be primarily aimed at ensuring that our beloved partners experience what is called an arms race. In this case, the Ministry of Defense is recommended to frequently come up with statements by officials about the formation of not only new armies (including shock), but also entire fronts. Fifth Ukrainian, First Alaskan. And this is not to mention the Second Washington hacker front of the "Order of the Red Banner of Labor" ... You see, the US military budget will bring from 700 billion to 7 trillion with all the consequences. So keep it up! ..

The route of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, which is currently being built on the section from Russia to Turkey along the Black Sea, will be changed: the pipeline from Turkey will go not to Greece, but to Bulgaria and further to Romania, Hungary, Austria.
Who is well done? Bulgarians are great! .. Well, it’s necessary to have such a strategic thinking (or even a thinking) to abandon the direct gas pipeline from Russia and now approve a gas pipeline from Russia through Turkey. Well it is known, the Bulgarians with the Turks - brothers forever. Here it smacks of the order for Bulgarian elites "For services to Turkey" I degree.

A look at rearmament
There is no complete information on what will be included in the new GPN 2018-2025, there are only experts' thoughts and interviews with the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Korolev, who said: “Also within the framework of the state armament program fleet of new and modernized ships of the far sea and ocean zones. The most massive ship in this segment will be a modernized frigate project 22350M, equipped with high-precision weapons».
Of course, we would very much like our country's economy to allow us to triple the real incomes of Russians, to multiply the number of production facilities under construction without closing the existing ones. Against this background, create military (surface and submarine) ships annually on 300. Plus on 500 planes are certainly the fifth generation. From such positions, a glimpse into the future will really be sad. However, if realistic, then it is more important to maintain at least the pace of rearmament that already exists. As practice shows, a point update without “Uryayayaya! We'll catch up and overtake everyone! ”In the military plan is often much more effective.

Is there no ocean fleet in Russia? But Russia is not the global hegemon of the Capmir as the USA and not a socialist country with the first economy of the world as the PRC, so based on what production, personnel and financial capabilities should it have an ocean fleet? And what is he to her?
It is clear that it is better to be healthy and rich and I also want Russia to have 20 nuclear aircraft carriers and bases in Canada, but now this, alas, is not realistic.
For the fleet in the current conditions there are only two tasks - to ensure the deployment of the SSBN and the protection of its coastline and its territorial waters. Everything. And as a nice option, the ability to attack the "Gauges" from the coastal zone. Proceeding from this, ships are being built - and so far, unfortunately, even for solving these limited tasks at very low rates.
To solve other problems, we need a different policy and a different economy.

Yamal Peninsula. A significant event happened here - the ceremonial loading of liquefied gas from a new gas plant built by Novatek with the participation of Total, CNPC and the Silk Road Fund. The right to “press the button” was granted to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Thus, the first phase of the famous project "Yamal LNG" can actually be considered neglected.
The decision of the Stockholm arbitration on the Russian-Ukrainian gas dispute. And who won?
And Petr Poroshenko, after the Stockholm arbitration announced the decision, said Ukraine had a comprehensive victory on the "gas" front. At the same time, Pyotr Alekseevich did not say where 2 billion "greens" would be found in the near future to pay off the debt to Gazprom, which Ukraine was awarded ... Nor did he say how after the decision in Stockholm to be with the statements "Ukraine does not buy Russian gas"...
But yes, victory ...

To steer "Armata"? ..
Speaking at the military college and referring to the results of inspections in military districts in 2017, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu as a whole positively assessed the results. However, once again the minister noted that the slow development of modern military equipment by military service personnel is a phenomenon that, unfortunately, has not gone anywhere.
It is clear that the USE is only the tip of the iceberg, the most recognizable post-reform detail of the modern educational system, so to speak. However, the problem, of course, is not only (and even not so much) specifically in the Unified State Exam, as it is in the system being built, where the certificate and diploma (as papers) are initially rated higher than the knowledge and skills of graduates. Although what other knowledge, skills and abilities? .. Now this is all called a clever word "competence", and therefore we are competent, by definition, all graduates. But because “Armata”, in the understanding of education officials, will definitely “go” - the results are growing and growing on paper ...

And all this subject to the normal training in the part and the corresponding candidate. If you do not know, then in many parts of our country, no normal training is conducted in HF, I have heard from the guys who have served that the hair stood on end.
This is under the condition that the fighter has a fitness category of A, and not as it often happens, the ulcer or scoliosis, which the military commissar overlooked. We know how they see that 10% can go from a call to a write-off in the first months.
And now, I want to remind you, the army is underfinanced. There are feedbacks indicating specific HF, where a new call cannot be put on a uniform, it simply does not exist. And so the recruits of the month 3, without doing anything, go to the "office", which was issued by the military. What are you going to teach in such conditions? On what? Solarium, ammunition, allowance, ATGM and so on. worth the money. A lot of money. And today we only have the financial allowance officially underfinanced by 51% !!!! What two years of service and professionals can there be when today the army is unable to give uniforms to soldiers and boots that do not fall apart ?!

Suddenly: "Bastions"!
During the fighting in Syria, the Russian army successfully tested various models of precision weapons. Among them was the anti-ship complex "Bastion". The use of "bastions" in Syria was a surprise for American experts.
But the experts could not be surprised! It was the “Bastion” radar that “highlighted” the now infamous American destroyer “Donald Cook” during the events in the Crimea in 2014. As a result, the American command hastily recalled its ship from the Russian shores.

No panic, gentlemen!
American analysts, who are not at all inclined to panic, believe that in the coming weeks the Russians will strike bombs on American troops in Syria. Moscow’s harsh tactics are aimed at driving Americans out of the region. The Russians themselves want to merge with the local feudal lords, they do not need competitors in this. Other analysts point out that Putin understands the nature of modern military challenges much better than Mr. Trump and congressmen.
If you believe the American edition of the Washington Examiner, which does not take on alarmists, the Russians will bomb the US land forces in Syria around New Year’s Eve. Will bring to the unlucky Yankee a sort of fire gift from Santa Claus. The White House will not respond to the Russian strike: Trump will close his eyes on Putin’s Middle Eastern tricks.
It is hard to believe in such a scenario. That is not to be believed at all. If only because the Russians in Syria are fighting with terrorists, and not with the Americans. Probably not all American experts have heard of this. In addition, part of the Russian troops from Syria is displayed. By order of Putin. That Putin himself, who allegedly himself gives orders to the commanders of the Air Force in Syria.
As for the effective actions of the Russian army in Syria, which are also written by American analysts, our military skills really showed. At the highest level. There is no objection here!

"Patriot" blundered, we want C-400
The details of the statement of Saudi Arabia about the allegedly intercepted Hussite ballistic missile launched on Tuesday from Yemen appeared. Military journalist Babak Tahwai says that the missiles of the US Patriot missile defense system, which are in service with Saudi Arabia, could not hit the Hussite missile.
According to him, the entire Saudi air defense forces fired five MIM-104C missiles from the Patriot PAC-2 missile defense system on the Burkan 2-H ballistic missile. None of the antimissiles intercepted the Hussite warhead, but the ballistic missile did not reach the target.
By the way, the media in Saudi Arabia is not the first to report on the allegedly intercepted Hussite rocket, which in fact did not reach the target. So, in early November, a ballistic missile was also launched from the territory of Yemen in the direction of Riyadh, which was allegedly intercepted by Saudi air defense forces. Hussites, in turn, stated that they were able to hit the target with a rocket.
Later, the media reported that the Saudi air defense forces most likely could not intercept the missile, but it also did not reach the target.
In this regard, Saudi Arabia’s interest in purchasing C-400 complexes from Moscow is understandable.

Invest in oil production to stop!
Some countries, which until recently had the most important positions on the world oil and gas market, are increasingly thinking about reducing the dependence of their economies on the export of these types of raw materials. The other day, the sovereign pension fund of Norway announced a desire to stop investment in the oil and gas sector in the future. Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the fund, sent a proposal to the Government of Norway.
The fact that it is time to tie with the "oil addiction", today they say in the countries of the Persian Gulf. UAE authorities have prudently invested and are investing today the proceeds from oil sales in the development of the tourism industry, with the result that tourism has become a source of tremendous revenue for the state. Oil resources will end, and sandy beaches, luxury hotels and even a ski resort in the hot desert will remain.
The plans to get off the "oil needle" and declare the authorities of Saudi Arabia. Of course, the situation here is more complicated than in the UAE, considering both the large population and the large territory. But Saudi Arabia is increasingly seeking to invest in the development of other areas of the economy.
The activities of prosperous exporters of oil and gas could be an example for Russia, strongly dependent on the export of mineral raw materials. Looking at countries that have managed to effectively diversify their economies and are making plans for the future, Moscow could also think about reducing the dependence of the economy on the export of natural resources. They are not infinite! And price fluctuations on the world oil market immediately affect the federal budget and the ruble exchange rate, and at the same time, the thickness of citizens' wallets.

Johnson, drive to the DPRK!
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson made a curious statement. Remembered the Peloponessian War 431 — 404. BC. I compared Russia with ancient Sparta, and my country and the USA with Athens.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Mr. Johnson said: “I read the story of the Peloponessian War, Thucydides. It was obvious to me that Athens and their democracy, openness, culture and civilization are analogous to the USA and the West. Russia seemed to me closed, unfriendly and anti-democratic, like Sparta ”.
A lot more was spoken by the minister, but among Russian politicians it was this analogy that caused quite fair irony. According to the deputy chairman of the State Duma’s international affairs committee, Alexei Chepa, the head of the British Foreign Ministry "knows both past and modern history quite badly." The deputy also noted that it was not worth making such comparisons on the eve of his visit to Moscow.
This, we note, is absolutely true. Otherwise, it turns out that you are going to Moscow to quarrel. However, there is simply no place to quarrel further.
By the way, if Russia is “closed”, how do foreign characters like Johnson get there? And do not try Johnson to go to North Korea?

I really like this comparison - us with Sparta.
First, in the Peloponessian alliance, Sparta and allies won (Corinth, Thebes).
And secondly, the democrats and the tolerant “rainbow” with the yellow-blakit ones who joined it - these are precisely those from the Athenian union.
In this case, we will not focus on the "fighting brotherhood" of the Theban army, because the same practice was practiced in the Athenian army. And even as if more trenchant.
Although they were all worth each other. In addition to the Spartans.
It is interesting to me why Boria did not compare Nazi Germany with Sparta, for the same fascists eugenics was much more seriously put. Oh, I completely forgot: the Netherlands is now keen on the same, special coffins for euthanasia have been invented.
Yes, inattentively he read the Peloponessian War. According to the comics, probably.
And do not call us Russian?
Serbian President Alexander Vucic, visiting Russia, made a statement regarding the issues of dialogue with Kosovo. Recall that both Belgrade and Moscow do not recognize the independence of the province of Kosovo, considering it an integral part of Serbia. At the same time, the western "partners" of Serbia are persistently pushing the idea that Belgrade needs to recognize Kosovo sovereignty, which will allegedly open the way for the Serbs to the European Union.
During the meeting with the chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko, Vucic said that Russia could take part in future negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina as a mediator: “We have certain agreements if there are conflicts. For reconciliation, the format of the mediators will be expanded between the Serbs and Albanians, between Belgrade and Pristina. I asked if Russia could also become a mediator, and President Putin agreed. ”
According to Vucic, Serbia will ask Russia to engage in dialogue as a mediator if Kosovo Albanians insist that the United States of America should become participants in the negotiation process.
Earlier, we recall, Vuchich met with Vladimir Putin, as well as with Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. It was about deepening cooperation on security and trade issues. According to the President of Serbia, the Russian-Serbian trade in 2016 amounted to 2,3 billion dollars, and now there is a tendency to increase. Serbs are also interested in participating in the Turkish Stream, which will lead the gas to the south of Europe. So, the idea to call the Russians was not born from the bay-knob ...

Neither to myself, nor to people
Bulgaria has temporarily suspended a deal worth 81,3 million leva (more than 49 million dollars) with the Russian MiG aircraft manufacturing corporation. The subject of the transaction is the repair of jet fighters in communication. The suspension is related to a complaint filed by the Ukrainian state-owned company Ukrinmash, said Bulgarian Defense Minister Krasimir Karakachanov on Wednesday.
Bulgaria considers RSK MiG as the only company capable of performing the necessary work and did not invite other companies to participate in the transaction.
“The Ukrainian company filed a complaint with the Commission for Protection of Competition in order to challenge the procedure in which the Ministry of Defense was preparing for negotiations and was going to sign an agreement,” the Reuters news agency quoted Karakachanov as saying.
Recall, earlier it was reported that the Bulgarian authorities asked the Russian Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation MiG to overhaul and service fifteen MiG-29 fighter jets.
Another application of Karakachanov was received, connected with the alleged clarification of the reasons for Kiev’s actions.
“We have yet to figure out what the reasons for this action are: some political or economic motives of those who do not like the ministry’s decision not to seek intermediaries, unlike previous deals on repairing MiG. This has yet to be clarified, and I hope that the competent authorities will do their work. But in practice this brings us back to 3 a month ago, ”Karakachanova quotes. "Apostrophe". According to the Bulgarian Minister of Defense, Ukrinmash has neither a license nor the ability to repair the MiG-29.
Neither myself nor the people - this is how one can characterize the actions of the Ukrainian complainants!

According to knowledgeable American sources, the Russians plan to increase the number of low-powered nuclear weapons by the year around 2026, which are suitable for use in local conflicts. Experts' conclusion: for the sake of war, Moscow is expanding its arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons.
Mr Joe Biden, who previously worked as a vice president, called on all Americans to go into battle with Putin. The time has come, he believes, to protect native America from "Putin and his buddies"!
Apparently, on New Year's Day, the indignant American people, led by Mr. Biden, will go to repel the Russian threat ... sorry, to fight the "buddies of Putin."

Joe Biden calls to battle. American people will rise to battle with Putin
And a little more military and other terrible New Year forecasts.
The site "Bloomberg" released a new "Pessimist's Guide" ("The Pessimist's Guide"). Black cards contain a list of terrible events that are supposed to happen in the foreseeable future. The period of the gloomy forecast is 2018-2028. "Pessimistic guide" could be given the following name: "Japan with nuclear missiles, and the Russians with Nabiullina in the Kremlin."
Among the main topics of futurists: Tokyo will get nuclear missiles; Facebook, and with it, Twitter will be buried under a barrage of fake information; Russia will rule Nabiullina; the banking system will collapse under the powerful pressure of bitcoins; oil will cost only ten bucks a barrel. But the most important thing for America: Mr. Trump in the United States will be elected for a second term!
Under such scenarios, one really does not have to believe in the stability of the political situation in the world. But Russia, of course, will survive. Contrary to all pessimistic forecasts.

The agreement of the authorities of Ukraine with Shell and Chevron on the lease of this field for 50 years and more has not been canceled. But to realize it prevents the very existence of the population LDNR in the south-east of Ukraine.

Now we read their writings correctly: Trump will speak in 2018 with a new strategy for the development of nuclear weapons, denying Obama’s previous policy to curb the development of nuclear forces. In reply on this Russia, maybe, will be forced to move away from strict compliance with the provisions of the START-2010 treaty and previous START treaties.
This will continue planned replacement of strategic missiles in the amount of 400 pcs. For the period 2012-2022, i.e. the withdrawal of the "Governors" and "Topol" and their replacement by "Sarmat" and "Yars" while maintaining the number of warheads on them.
So with a clever movement of the hand and tongue, you can elegantly dump from a sick head on a healthy one by securing money for Niagara to increase spending on nuclear weapons.
