Terrorism, mines and propaganda

21
It is no secret that armed formations that are not able to confront the enemy in open battle almost always turn to guerrilla tactics. And international terrorism is one of the best examples of this. Within Russia, it has the following form: a significant improvement in the situation in the North Caucasus in the last 8-10 years has led to the fact that open clashes between federal forces and terrorists have become quite rare incidents. At the same time, a lot of responsibility fell on the shoulders of explosives, because it is explosive devices that are the favorite means of terrorists around the world. We will not focus on the causes of such “love”, but simply note the fact that in the current conditions the struggle against unsuited miners, including warning the laying of explosive devices, is one of the main directions in the fight against terrorism.

Usually, the work of special services, aimed at the elimination of potential terrorist attacks, does not enjoy wide publicity and the public has to be content with only dry statistics. In early April-month at RIA News A press conference was held with the participation of the leadership of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee. In its course, several facts from the current situation in the field of improvised explosive devices used by terrorists were told. First of all, it is worth noting that the threat of terrorist attacks, although it has become noticeably smaller, still remains serious, primarily due to the fact that the failure of the special services will cause injuries and even death of innocent people. Therefore, the employees of the FSB, the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defense have to work hard. The overall results of this work over the past year look very successful. Thus, more than ten relatively large workshops that manufactured improvised explosive devices were identified and eliminated. In total, more than five hundred explosive devices and about 400 tons of various explosives were seized and destroyed. Considering how many victims and destructions could cause all this amount of hellish machines, one can imagine how useful the work of the special services turned out to be for the country.

However, it is not so easy for investigators, operatives, and explosives engineers to work. This is especially true of the latter. Advisor to the Chairman of the NAC A. Przhezdomsky complained at a press conference that the bandits recently began using a new type of explosive device. In appearance, it is a small metal ball. Inside it are charge, fuse and a small electrical circuit. Such "surprises" are installed most often on cars with the help of magnets. Due to the shape and size to detect such an explosive device is quite difficult. In addition, even with successful detection, people's lives continue to be endangered. Several specimens of a spherical mine got into the hands of FSB experts and it turned out to be a very, very unpleasant feature of it. The fact is that it reacts to any movements, vibrations, etc. In other words, the cocked mine explodes when the driver of the car starts the engine, starts moving, or simply opens the door. Of course, when disposing of such a handicraft explosive device, remarkable accuracy is required.

Novelties of this kind do not surprise workers of the special services. Any new construction of a self-made mine, put on stream, eventually gets to the experts-explosives and they carefully study it. According to the results of the study, the weak points of the mine are being investigated and recommendations for its neutralization are being developed. Needless to say, in response to this, terrorists have to invent and master new constructions. The circle closes and almost real arms race turns out, even if only one side is arming. And this is a global trend.

Exactly the same global trend is the attempts of terrorists (and far from always unsuccessful) to recruit still civilians into their ranks with the help of propaganda. Often, the most simple, but more intelligible slogans are used, in particular of a religious nature. Thanks to these actions, terrorists manage not only to increase their numbers, but even to prepare ready for all suicide bombers. Thus, in addition to identifying and eliminating explosive devices already planted, as well as searching for workshops for their production, the work of the special services should also be aimed at preventing the replenishment of terrorist formations. According Przhezdomsky, in this direction are active work.

I am glad that the forces of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee are aimed at several areas at once. This is probably why in the six years of its existence, members of the NAC intelligence services found and eliminated more than 1300 gangster bases, caches and workshops, and the amount of explosive devices and explosives seized is thousands and hundreds tons, respectively. Hopefully, in the future, successful work of the NAC will continue, and news reports will finally disappear from reports of terrorist attacks and only news will appear about their prevention.

    1. For what reason do miners appear?
    2. What do we all from the description of the type of SVU? Tell this to relatives of the dead and crippled
    3. The work of the special services is not visible at all, they do not consider it necessary to count towards taxpayers
    4. The result will be successful only when the terrorist war STOPS! but today it is only growing! What "successes" are we talking about?
    5. "The tendency is the attempts of terrorists (and by no means always unsuccessful) to recruit peaceful citizens into their ranks with the help of propaganda." - this is a phrase for which class is it written? lol In Russia, the war on terror has been going on for 18 !!! years. And there is no end in sight. What "attempts to recruit" is written here?

      What is this article about?

      1. Well, and for what reason for many decades IRA “miners” appeared in Great Britain, ETA “miners” in Spain and France? Why do such "miners" continue to appear in India, Turkey, Israel, etc. etc.? And for what reason are the attacks against the United States? Why were American “peacekeepers” blown up in Beirut on October 23, 1983, killing 241 and injuring over 160? Why there was an explosion in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 (168 people died, including 19 children under the age of 6 years, 688 people were injured; 324 buildings in a radius of 16 quarters were destroyed and damaged, 86 cars were completely destroyed; total damage from the explosion 652 million dollars). Why on September 11, 2001 in the USA, terrorists killed 2998 people. and another 6300 people. were injured and crippled? Can you intelligently name the motivation for terrorists?
      2. The truth does not understand why the article refers to IEDs? Do you think that the North Caucasian militants are all Kulibins in the mine explosive business? And the fact that someone tells them how to improve IEDs, did not occur to you?
      3. The work of special services is completely obvious. But you, and others like you, prefer not to notice her. So it’s more convenient to sprinkle the drafts on the Internet. Examples of work are given even in this article. Here is their source: “Over the past year alone, more than ten large laboratories for the manufacture of homemade bombs were destroyed. Over 500 IEDs and more than 400 tons of explosives were seized over the past year. People make this explosive quite professionally, ”said Przhezdomsky.
      http://ria.ru/defense_safety/20120405/618766596-print.html
      Or one more thing: “Last year, law enforcement agencies conducted 85 counter-terrorism and 12 thousand military operations in the North Caucasus, during which 343 bandits were neutralized and 618 were detained. Revealed about 500 caches and gang bases. 50 people are inclined to exit the forest, ”said Sintsov.
      http://www.itar-tass.com/c1/384112_print.html
      4. Are you ready to prove with facts and figures that the war is "growing"? For example, can you name the number of terrorist attacks and their victims in 2011, compared with 2010? Or did you just decide to panick?
      5. Unfortunately, it is not possible to quickly destroy terrorism. Yes, we’ve been at war with him for 18 years. But Great Britain fought with the IRA throughout the 10th century. For decades, ETA could not be destroyed either in Spain or in France. For many decades, they have been fighting terrorist groups in Israel, Turkey, India and other countries. The United States, for more than XNUMX years, has been fighting terrorism (according to their version) in Afghanistan, without any noticeable success. And after them, the so-called leaving Iraq, where did the bombings stop? Rather, they have increased.

      And when Grozny was rebuilt - a spot of light appeared over the mountains over the Caucasus - like over Moscow. And the ghouls had a question, why am I in a cave with a gun, when you can be in the formidable in a skyscraper in the office.

      and the FSB is truly omnipotent. I admire their work with admiration.

      For some time I was lucky to work with the "heavy" ones from Alpha. Well, there were a couple of types from Pennant.

      What is not a man is an example to follow.

    And because of the %% screaming that the Center is giving too much money to the Caucasus and Chechnya

    Work stops. Since the time of the Chechen one, there has not been a single large-scale act of mine clearance of territories.

    It takes billions. Can you imagine how much the stench will be if you now make a request to the Center from the Chechen parliament?

    So I hope the FSB will begin to work actively not only on the Yary and Fierce Bearded Devils, but also on the sweet and tender ghouls with the swamp)

    I read the article, read the comments. And he knows what to say. And so the problems in the country above the roof are also this terrorism, his mother's foot. IMHO, our problem is that not one but more than 120 nationalities live in the country, who live mainly on lands as they consider to be exclusively owned by them. Plus they were allowed to create their own republics, almost independent states within the Russian Federation, and put their own presidents. Well, the next step is obvious - we want to be independent, and not be called presidents, but sultans and padishahs. Here is the fault of Stalin, who left the system of union republics (there were 15 in total). That would not be the USSR and Khrushchev could not give her the Crimea. And in general it would be unknown if the USSR would have collapsed or not. After all, the state would be a single, and not consisting of 15 parts, the largest of which was the RSFSR. And now it turns out that Russia is included in the framework of the former RSFSR and used to be one piece, but now they have created new states (republics with their presidents) inside, and here you have new prospects for further fragmentation of the former single piece of land of the RSFSR.

    Well, as for the article, it is very short for its title. There are immediately three topics on which you can write three different articles - about terrorism separately, about mines separately, about propaganda separately. Moreover, each such topic claims at least a doctoral dissertation in scale.

      GDP made financial intelligence. She was a long time ago, but he breathed a new level of quality into her. if interested, check out the wiki

      And the closest interaction of this service with the GRU and the FSB.
      And a very sufficient number of dok.films in Chechnya - where special forces are looking for specific caravans.
      Many people work in this area. Many top-class professionals. So all that you see is the result of the most productive work. Than you could think.

      And the fact that there are many problems in the country coming from outside, so this indicates the status of the country itself. The fact that the country is actively promoting its position on the world stage is also indicative of the status of the country. It does not matter the USSR, Russia or Russia. Names changed often .... and the essence of foreign policy over the past 100 years has not changed much. (although I think you can safely write a figure of greater importance, before the truth there was no USA, but there were England and so on)

      This also indicates the productivity of politics as such. There were different periods in our country with Taba - but Taba and I are now texting here, you and I have work. house. heat. gas, water. cars (probably) it also says a lot about when there is such an active confrontation of several powers.

      And by the way about America, if they tell me now that they live well there too. I will say so. I don’t have any debts. I owe no money to anyone. Credits. And percent. But I have all the benefits that I wrote about above. =]

      How many are there? or in Europe, where in some countries there are no batteries in houses and hot water (well, or buy a bolera) but as a fact. And recently I came across photo reports with comments from the barracks in England.

      Are there many people who have no debts?) Eternal or not quite)
