Results of the week. When “break through” “Armatu”?
Is there a meat grinder?
Today, the operational situation along the contact line, as well as the degree of total incompetence of Kiev and the West on the diplomatic front, can be categorized as having passed the point of no return to a constructive dialogue that could lead to the peace process of transferring the LDNR of the remaining territories of the former Lugansk and Donetsk regions, It is held until January 18 2018.
Forecasts, forecasts ... It is difficult to say that this is a forecast about the "meat grinder" in the Donbass - the hundredth or five hundredth. In this case, more often than not, one important aspect is not taken into account in the forecasts - and who specifically needs this “meat grinder” in the Donbas? Russia? Khe-khe ... No, no. If we talk about Kiev and Washington, they are satisfied with the sluggish conflict at the side of Russia. For Poroshenko the most that: large-scale resources do not need to be, while the majority of "cyborgs" and other "Transformers" - in the trenches and dugouts, away from Bankova, Khreshchatyk and Maidan. And Washington understands that any powerful “batch” is the final collapse of Ukraine with the ability to increase the percentage of anti-American sentiment after the “gratuitous” delivery of the American weapons. So, this abscess, generated by the “reached agreements” will continue to remain an abscess, until someone simply suffers patience. People sorry ...

Indian participation in the joint project of the 5 generation fighter with the Russian Federation is under a very large question mark. At the same time, the question mark on Indian participation is already so large that the program itself has to a greater degree become Indian in claims to Russian colleagues. And these claims are growing like a snowball.
With one hand, India is threatening a promising 5 fighter generation, with the other - shaking hands with the director of Sevmash, praising the assistance in maintaining the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya. And if you consider that in the Indian beliefs there are more than two possible hands, then the Indian “multi-vector” can hardly be surprising.

Poland: I remember, I do not remember
Finally, Kiev waited for the Polish knife in the back. Now Bandera officially - the enemies of Poland. That is the decision made by the Polish Parliament. This was another unfriendly step towards the official Kiev, and a step that went far.
Polish memory, it is unique in its kind: it keeps the crimes of Bandera, and it tries to keep silent about the cooperation of the Polish authorities with Nazi Germany, including cooperation to dismember Czechoslovakia. For the mention of cooperation with the Third Reich - "criminal", as well as for the promotion of the ideology of Ukrainian nationalists. That is, they decided to make a “cocktail”, where the Poles are white and fluffy, with the most important victims in Europe. It is surprising that in the new Polish law there was no place (for the time being ...) about the need to exalt Pan Matserevich’s ideology - about “criminal responsibility for denying Moscow’s involvement in the crash of Tu-154”. Life ... And so it would be a complete set ...

"Derivation-air defense" against the swarm and not only
Last Thursday, 25 in January, the press service of the research and production corporation Uralvagonzavod reported on a recent visit by a distinguished guest. According to the published information, in January the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation Oleg Bochkarev visited the Central Research Institute for Petrel Research Institute with a working visit. During the visit, industry experts and a high-ranking official discussed issues of production diversification and the possibility of producing civilian products.
"Lit up" on the official photo from "Uralvagonzavod" "Derivation-Air Defense", of course, not by accident. Against the background of stories about mini-UAVs, which are not always productive and definitely not economical to peel from the Armor, the good old anti-aircraft variant, and even the rate of fire to 120 shots per minute, is a good answer to the ideologists of the effectiveness of the unmanned swarm. Taking into account the fact that the “Derivation-Air Defense” can confidently “knock down” air targets moving at supersonic speeds, the range of use is certainly wider than the exclusively unmanned semi-handicraft vunderwafli type from “no one guessed”.

When “break through” “Armatu”?
The new T-90M tank will go into service with the Russian army in the coming months. This was reported in the research and production corporation "Uralvagonzavod."
And as soon as it comes to new deliveries of the T-90M tank, immediately - about the "Armata". Many are beginning to worry about the “Armata” - is that all? ”As if entering into service of one tank today completely excludes the arrival of a lot of other tanks tomorrow. In the end, T-14 "Armata" has already done an important thing - forced to talk about themselves, and above all foreign colleagues. They say who will now disassemble these Russians - at what level is the implementation of the new generation tank program? - maybe these T-14 in the underground parking lot are already visible, and they dig tunnels under the English Channel with guns ...

Solomon's Automaton Solution
The Russian Ministry of Defense has decided to adopt the new automatic machines developed by the V. Degtyaryov Plant - AEK-971, AEK-973 and the Kalashnikov Concern - AK-12 and AK-15.
There is only one comment: putting into service of two automatic rifles of the Ministry of Defense takes truly Solomon’s decision. After all, to cut off one of the projects meant to put an end to the new production of automatic small arms, and in the case of Kovrov manufacturers, it is possible that the very existence of the plant. So, for the decision - five points. In the end, the solution of economic problems against the background of the rearmament program implementation has not yet been canceled.

Probirkin disappointed
The Sports Arbitration Court (CAS) granted the appeal of 28 to Russian athletes and partially granted the appeal to 11. We are talking about athletes who had previously been “lifelong” by the International Olympic Committee and were prevented from participating in the Olympics due to charges of alleged violation of the anti-doping code.
What is the reaction of WADA and IOC? They are said to be “preoccupied”, “puzzled” and generally they cannot eat normally. Well this is necessary, CAS questioned the report of His Anti-Doping Highness Richard McLaren (in narrow circles - Probirkin). Probirkin collected so many “facts” - he found two scratches, drank it on brotherhood, got a hole in the wall, felt a hole in the wall, and CAS, you understand, went in for the Kremlin agents. There is only one conclusion - sanctions against the CAS panel of judges with freezing of accounts in Swiss banks, immediately! .. For they encroached on the most important formula of WADA experts, which directly bind the bladders of Russian athletes to their guilt.
Probyrkin, prepare compensation! ..

"New" Ukrainian rocket. Laugh laugh
The other day, Kiev held another rocket tests. This time, the new Ukrainian cruise missile "Neptune". The opinions of the experts were divided. Kiev "experts" write that the new rocket can fly almost de Moscow, and the Russians mostly agree that everything is a bluff.
Whether the Ukrainian rocket “to Moscow” will fly is the tenth matter. The main thing is that with all the often expressed irony regarding modern Ukrainian weapons, the development of such weapons is underway. And conducted with two goals. The first is to master the means. The second is to apply them against the Donbass whenever possible. So, one can ironically as many as possible that Turchinov presented a copy-paste of missiles developed by the USSR, but irony is hardly appropriate. After all, the Ukrainian government gets an opportunity after kickbacks and cuts "for the EEB" to wring funds in the military woman, who is unlikely to be able to eventually withdraw to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

They stumbled
Despite the hopes pinned by representatives of the foreign ministries of Russia, Syria and Iran, the Syrian National Dialogue Congress from 29 to January 30 could not reach the level that would allow to form a Commission to discuss the Syrian constitution.
Meanwhile, the Turkish military stumbled during an offensive operation in the difficult mountainous terrain in the west and north of the Afrin canton, as well as in hostilities in the area east of the Afrin river. By January 27, YPG forces managed to destroy at least seven main battle tanks M60A3 / T-Sabra and Leopard-2A4 of the ground forces of Turkey.
Tactical alignment continues to play into the hands of Damascus, Moscow, and Washington, according to columnist E. Damantsev. Actively supported by volunteers, as well as small arms, anti-tank and portable anti-aircraft missile weapons, the YPG and YPJ detachments plunged the Turkish army into a protracted and exhausting confrontation that could only weaken Turkey in a few months in geostrategic terms.
Apparently, Erdogan did not suffer much losses, since the other day he announced the imminent opening of the Manbidz Front. Tied up in battles in this direction, the Turkish Armed Forces will finally lose their combat stability.

China is interested in the Arctic
The State Council of the People's Republic of China has published a White Paper on the Arctic policy of the state. China does not have its own territory in the Arctic, but Beijing considers itself to be the “interested party” in the affairs of the Arctic. The new Silk Road became “polar”. Analysts say that within the framework of the Chinese initiatives, Russia has a chance to build partnerships in the development of the Northern Sea Route.
China and Russia have another reason for what various experts now call “partnerships”. This time the partnership will develop around the Northern Sea Route. There is every reason for this project: Moscow itself set its sights on this route in order to supply the Chinese with what the bear economy is strong about: energy resources.
However, Moscow is now bad with money: oil in the world is not sufficiently expensive, or there is a hole in the budget, or Western sanctions are in the way. So, the calculation will be on Chinese investment in the development of the Arctic region. Experts confirm this point.
“A number of experts believe that this is a promising topic: joint development of the Arctic using Chinese investment resources. They have their own experience in the construction of icebreakers and special equipment. Others believe that this is a very difficult topic and should not be much integrated with the Chinese in the exploration of the Arctic. But the process is still going quietly, ”says Nikolai Kotlyarov, head of the Russian-Chinese Center for Financial Academy under the Russian government. However, China’s “bypass Russia” will not work: it’s probably only about joint development of routes, that is, on mutually beneficial terms.
What can be these conditions is not yet clear.

Interception in compliance with the rules
The US State Department issued a statement of "deep concern." "Concern" arose in connection with the interception of the American reconnaissance aircraft EP-3 Aries II, which carried out reconnaissance operations over the Black Sea. It was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 fighter over neutral waters. The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the interception was carried out in compliance with all safety standards. The American military aircraft was accompanied by a Russian fighter, which did not allow the US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft to be in Russian airspace.
And for some reason, the following fact does not surprise at all: the US State Department did not comment on the question of having forgotten an American reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea!
By the way, the Pentagon is also unhappy. Only in the case of the American defense ministries are we no longer talking about “preoccupation”, but about the “unprofessionalism” of the Russians.
The Pentagon published Su-27 flybills a few meters from the EP-3 Aries II aircraft and stated that "the Russian plane was very close," and this is "unprofessional and dangerous, since the American board hit the jet."

Majumdar prophesies nuclear war
Well-known analyst Dave Majumdar writes about the possible advantage of the North Atlantic alliance in the war and the “Doomsday” offensive in the popular magazine National Interest. A war with Russia will lead to a nuclear catastrophe that will kill billions of people.
A counter-attack by the NATO forces of the Russian forces would be a bloody response and would lead to the highest risk of an escalation of the conflict, the analyst believes. However, just such a scenario is “one of the probable results of the Russian invasion,” a specialist is sad.
On the other hand, according to the US Congress, Moscow is gradually destroying its non-strategic nuclear arsenal. The reduction has been going on since the end of the Cold War. In today's Russia, however, there are up to 4.000 tactical nuclear units. However, other experts suggest that Russia has only 2.000 tactical units of nuclear weapons. But these data are hardly accurate. A relatively recent analysis by the Royal United Service Institute of Igor Sutyagin (Great Britain) showed that Russia has no more than 1.040 units. non-strategic nuclear weapons. Of these, from 128 to 210 warheads are in service with the Russian ground forces. In Russian navy there are about 330 tactical units of nuclear weapons, the Russian Air Force - 334 units The air defense forces of the Russian Federation have another 68 to 166 tactical nuclear weapons mounted on various ground-to-air missiles. Finally, according to a report presented by the Federation of American Scientists, Russia generally has no deployed non-strategic nuclear weapons. All tactical units are "in the central storage", and "several thousand decommissioned non-strategic warheads are awaiting dismantle."
On that "study" of Majumdar ends. His idea is clear: Americans and NATO should not be so afraid of the Russian nuclear response and "escalation" - the Russians may not have time to give a tactical nuclear response. They are all gathering dust in warehouses or outdated and waiting for disassembly.
On the other hand, analyst Majumdar hints at the “billions” of future victims of the new war. Obviously, behind these words lies the analyst's opinion about the possible use of Russian strategic nuclear weapons, and not tactical ones. It is logical: since the Russians are not ready to fight with tactical "units", strategic ones will be used. But what about: there is a danger to the "existence of the state."
The specialist sees salvation for the West in one thing: in the power of NATO. The alliance must certainly have “advantages” over the Russians. Apparently, this is the main message of the whole article. The more NATO has the military strength and technical advantages, the less chances Mr. Putin has for the occupation of the Baltic countries.
But why does the Kremlin need the Baltic countries? Not a single Western expert not only answers this question, but, in fact, does not even put it. The only answer that foreign analysts and politicians give is this: Putin wants to restore Russia's former greatness and extend the borders of the Fatherland to the former borders of the USSR. However, this is only a parody of the answer.

Shooting cannons at rockets is profitable
The US Army is looking for an inexpensive replacement for interceptor missiles. According to breakingdefense.com, the Pentagon’s Strategic Opportunity Office is working to create an artillery missile defense system. According to the head of the artillery anti-missile system development program, Vincent Sabio, the “art-air defense” testing will take place this year. The US military believes that artillery as an air defense will be significantly cheaper than traditional rocket systems.
There are specifics.
One solution to this problem could be the adaptation of existing 155 mm caliber artillery systems (M777 and M198 howitzers, M109 ACS, and also shipboard artillery systems) under the HVP (Hyper Velocity Projectile) projectile. The named ammunition was originally designed for railguns, but after the cessation of funding for their development, the military is looking for a new application for the projectile. After some adaptation (including an increase in barrel length), existing gun mounts will be able to shoot at air targets with adjustable HVP ammunition.
There is a big savings, which Uncle Sam constantly thinks about. The fact is that the cost of one shot of HVP ammunition will be only 85000 dollars. Expensive? Compare: the Patriot interceptor missile costs the US budget about 3 million dollars!
Therefore, the concept can find practical application.

Saw, Shura, saw!
According to the observer Y. Podolyaki, the new promising US missile defense system (see the previous episode of “The Results of the Week”) is a “nonsense and a huge budget drank”.
What is expensive for gunners is cheap for anti-missile defense. In his idea, Sabio, vital objects in the United States and on the battlefield will be guarded by American gunners, who will shoot down ballistic missiles with ultra-high-speed and precise shells better than any Patriot. At the same time, the estimated cost per target will be “total” 22 shells. “I just want to say to Vincent: stop, remember the laws of physics! - writes Yu Podolyaka. - What is a super-high projectile? What are xnumx miles per hour? We are not on Privoz. The M5600 “Palladin”, even with a new barrel, is not an electromagnetic gun, it is an ordinary ACS that will push a projectile at a maximum speed of 109-1 km per second. And it will be at ground level. Already at 1,2-10 km altitude, the residual velocity of the projectile, which means that its freedom of maneuver will be very weak, and therefore the probability of hitting will be low. But that's not all. In order for the few seconds that the ballistic warhead of the ballistic missile flies on the final part of the trajectory, to launch 15 projectiles, you need an 22 barrel, since their rate of fire does not allow even an 22 shot to be made during this time. Total we have a division ... Yes, I almost forgot. We need several more sets of radar, each of which is at a minimum costing up to 2 million dollars (oh, how the palms of happy American generals are burning!) .. ”
In addition, 550 MW of electricity will be needed, which means that a nuclear power unit, a separate substation and a very complex distribution system will be installed nearby, which, if necessary, will disconnect neighboring cities from power consumption and ensure the area’s missile defense.
However, the tests are only outlined ...

Open hunting season
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia warns: for citizens of the Russian Federation there is a great danger of being taken hostage by representatives of the special services of foreign countries. We are talking about numerous facts when the Russians became victims of the arbitrariness of the special services of a number of countries, ultimately under the hood of the United States of America.
The Russian Foreign Ministry notes that the ministry is making every effort to relieve tensions with relations with US partners, but Washington is moving in the direction of continuing confrontation. It is noted that for the Russians, representing at least some interest for the American special services, there is a real hunt almost all over the world. Special recommendations apply to those who may well have real problems with the American Themis.
The eerie warning from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation did not appear on an empty place. The number of cases of "hunting" for the citizens of Russia has already reached four dozen. In particular, the case of the Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was captured in 2010 in Liberia and exported to the USA, is widely known.
Note, this is not the first such warning of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The previous warning was published in February last year. Mead advised Russians do not visit 111 countries, including the EU states, Thailand, Israel.

America didn't like them
The “Kremlin report,” presented by the US Treasury Department, included a number of Russian officials and oligarchs associated with President Putin.
The black list opens the government: the names of Medvedev, Shuvalov, Lavrov and others are listed. As for the “oligarchs,” the following gentlemen should be prepared for punishment: R. Abramovich, O. Deripaska, V. Potanin, A. Usmanov, A. Vekselberg, V Alekperov, K. Shamalov and others.
According to the US Treasury Secretary, S. Mnuchin, the publication of the list means that the listed persons will be subject to sanctions. Interpret the report otherwise not worth it, he sneered. “This [report] should not be interpreted in any way as if we do not apply sanctions to anyone from this report,” he explained.
It seems that in the near future the team of the American Minister Mnuchin will arrange for someone from the "Kremlin list" a demonstrative whipping. The scapegoats have already been appointed. And Mr. Trump would hardly object to this. Literally after the list was shown to congressmen, Mr. President of the United States broke out in an appeal to Congress, in which he called Russia a rival challenging America.
In the first annual message to the congress “On the situation of the country,” Donald Trump made policy statements of principle, which are essentially the foundation of his current program. He spoke out against reducing the US military budget, said it was necessary to modernize nuclear arsenals, and spoke of the threat to the interests of the United States coming from Russia and the PRC.
Russia Trump described negatively negatively. Besides the fact that this state "challenges" the United States, it is also a rival for the American economy and an opponent of American values. Of course, the United States is facing such challenges. "The power that has no equal" Mr. President declared the right means of "defense" from opponents. The nuclear arsenal should also be made “so powerful” so that it can contain any inclinations of the “aggressors”.
In short, the answer to Russian is prepared in the spirit of Reagan.

Instead of resolving the issue with the Donbas in the interests of Russia - a) recognize the DPR and LPR in April 2014, b) create a land corridor to the Crimea (liberation of Mariupol in 2014), c) finish ukrofashistov in Debaltsevsky and other boilers (autumn 2014), power Russia a) signed the Minsk Agreement, b) got involved in the Syrian swamp, thereby, giving all the trump cards at the mercy of Kiev (Poroshenko’s negotiable partner) and hoping for US mercy.
It did not work either one or the other.
And now the authorities will have to either fight with Kiev or immediately surrender, which is easier to do now, finally betray the Donbass when the Kremlin lists appeared.
As they say, the most effective policy is a policy of principle. In the Donbas, principledness should have been to protect the Russians by recognizing and then reuniting with the LDNR. Although much has already been missed, but not all, this can be done now, just when the Kremlin lists appeared.
But everything was limited to endless talk shows on all TV channels, on which Russian clowns repeatedly won brilliant victories on clowns from Ukraine. Both those and others are the lackeys paid by Moscow, keeping to the line of blabling up the tragedy of Donbass residents.
Why lose something to those involved in these lists, it would seem, they untied their hands? But, apparently, there is something to lose, there is something for which they will trade Donbass until the last ...

Hindus are not just complex, but daunting "partners." In addition, we have our own interests in this region, they have their own. They do not like our rapprochement with China, and even more so with Pakistan. In addition, they want to get not just a ready-made aircraft, but first of all technologies, and this is what we need now. So, concluding a contract with the Indians, we should think not seventh seven, but seventy-seven, before putting our signature on the contract. And then we are chasing these contracts, but in the end there is no money, but claims are above the roof.

Except with Russia, the Hindus have no one to create an 5 generation aircraft. With China, a full span, from the mattress only screwdriver assembly and no more. So they show off, as always, and continue the joint project.

We have a big trump card in this business ... China is arming itself and creating its own fighters (albeit not very good ones yet). He builds a lot and works on his school aircraft. And the Indians at the same time stagnant in the project Sparky Su-57. That is the time in this matter on our side.
I am convinced that the entire assembly process to transfer this aircraft to the territory of India is not reasonable. In this case, because the Indians want to get all the documentation on this machine, which completely puts an end to the secrecy of this project, which our designers have so adhered to all this time.
The mattresses did not sell the Raptor, based on the fact that they did not want to give their new technologies to their opponents or allies. Why should we deal differently with Su-57?

Tricky, of course. The fact that in relation to Banderovites was accepted is welcome, but the fact that they firmly want to stop a reminder of their crimes looks despicable, especially against the background of Russia's constant accusations of occupying Poland, shooting down Polish officers and further down the list. But another, to be honest, it was difficult to expect from Poland.
"Derivation-air defense" against the swarm and not only
Last Thursday, 25 in January, the press service of the research and production corporation Uralvagonzavod reported on a recent visit by a distinguished guest. According to the published information, in January the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation Oleg Bochkarev visited the Central Research Institute for Petrel Research Institute with a working visit. During the visit, industry experts and a high-ranking official discussed issues of production diversification and the possibility of producing civilian products.
"Lit up" on the official photo from "Uralvagonzavod" "Derivation-Air Defense", of course, not by accident. Against the background of stories about mini-UAVs, which are not always productive and definitely not economical to peel from the Armor, the good old anti-aircraft variant, and even the rate of fire to 120 shots per minute, is a good answer to the ideologists of the effectiveness of the unmanned swarm. Taking into account the fact that the “Derivation-Air Defense” can confidently “knock down” air targets moving at supersonic speeds, the range of use is certainly wider than the exclusively unmanned semi-handicraft vunderwafli type from “no one guessed”.

Absolutely natural result. aviation weapons of destruction are becoming more long-range. As a result, we have to increase the range of the work of army air defense systems. Which makes complexes increasingly bulky. Compare the sizes of the Tunguska and the Shell. Therefore, the idea of combining itself has become obsolete.
UAVs, precision-guided munitions ammunition. In the future - artillery shells, mines and RS (controlled RS).
There are not many targets for this kind of purely artillery complexes on the modern battlefield, but very many. Here, for example, the notorious "Javelin". What prevents this low-speed missile from being shot down while trying to hit a target from above? She for this almost 200 meters up.

When “break through” “Armatu”?
The new T-90M tank will go into service with the Russian army in the coming months. This was reported in the research and production corporation "Uralvagonzavod."
And as soon as it comes to new deliveries of the T-90M tank, immediately - about the "Armata". Many are beginning to worry about the “Armata” - is that all? ”As if entering into service of one tank today completely excludes the arrival of a lot of other tanks tomorrow. In the end, T-14 "Armata" has already done an important thing - forced to talk about themselves, and above all foreign colleagues. They say who will now disassemble these Russians - at what level is the implementation of the new generation tank program? - maybe these T-14 in the underground parking lot are already visible, and they dig tunnels under the English Channel with guns ...

Armata armata, and T-90 still serve! Always believed that perhaps the best in the world T-90 early to write off. If we compare, we must compare by price, which means: what is more efficient than two T-90 or one Armata?

When it comes to Almaty, it is still on the test, they will eliminate “growth mistakes” as with all new equipment, and the T-90 and T-72 are the basis of our tank fleet now.

Armata is the concept of our main tank, which only undergoes "thorough file processing." It would be possible to swear if it were launched so quickly in the series. Would get an analog F-35 - expensive and damp. And now we are really preparing for war, since the West already pours saliva from our canines, can start at any moment, therefore it is important for Russia to have a lot of proven machines with a developed repair base, at a reasonable price, and not a raw concept at a frantic price small a series of. And the fact that Armata is being advertised is that the Yankes and other NATO members are bred for the arms race, and it’s true to show that the defense industry has the latest developments is also correct.
Solomon's Automaton Solution
The Russian Ministry of Defense has decided to adopt the new automatic machines developed by the V. Degtyaryov Plant - AEK-971, AEK-973 and the Kalashnikov Concern - AK-12 and AK-15.
There is only one comment: putting into service of two automatic rifles of the Ministry of Defense takes truly Solomon’s decision. After all, to cut off one of the projects meant to put an end to the new production of automatic small arms, and in the case of Kovrov manufacturers, it is possible that the very existence of the plant. So, for the decision - five points. In the end, the solution of economic problems against the background of the rearmament program implementation has not yet been canceled.

Probirkin disappointed
The Sports Arbitration Court (CAS) granted the appeal of 28 to Russian athletes and partially granted the appeal to 11. We are talking about athletes who had previously been “lifelong” by the International Olympic Committee and were prevented from participating in the Olympics due to charges of alleged violation of the anti-doping code.
What is the reaction of WADA and IOC? They are said to be “preoccupied”, “puzzled” and generally they cannot eat normally. Well this is necessary, CAS questioned the report of His Anti-Doping Highness Richard McLaren (in narrow circles - Probirkin). Probirkin collected so many “facts” - he found two scratches, drank it on brotherhood, got a hole in the wall, felt a hole in the wall, and CAS, you understand, went in for the Kremlin agents. There is only one conclusion - sanctions against the CAS panel of judges with freezing of accounts in Swiss banks, immediately! .. For they encroached on the most important formula of WADA experts, which directly bind the bladders of Russian athletes to their guilt.

"New" Ukrainian rocket. Laugh laugh
The other day, Kiev held another rocket tests. This time, the new Ukrainian cruise missile "Neptune". The opinions of the experts were divided. Kiev "experts" write that the new rocket can fly almost de Moscow, and the Russians mostly agree that everything is a bluff.
Whether the Ukrainian rocket “to Moscow” will fly is the tenth matter. The main thing is that with all the often expressed irony regarding modern Ukrainian weapons, the development of such weapons is underway. And conducted with two goals. The first is to master the means. The second is to apply them against the Donbass whenever possible. So, one can ironically as many as possible that Turchinov presented a copy-paste of missiles developed by the USSR, but irony is hardly appropriate. After all, the Ukrainian government gets an opportunity after kickbacks and cuts "for the EEB" to wring funds in the military woman, who is unlikely to be able to eventually withdraw to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

They stumbled
Despite the hopes pinned by representatives of the foreign ministries of Russia, Syria and Iran, the Syrian National Dialogue Congress from 29 to January 30 could not reach the level that would allow to form a Commission to discuss the Syrian constitution.
Meanwhile, the Turkish military stumbled during an offensive operation in the difficult mountainous terrain in the west and north of the Afrin canton, as well as in hostilities in the area east of the Afrin river. By January 27, YPG forces managed to destroy at least seven main battle tanks M60A3 / T-Sabra and Leopard-2A4 of the ground forces of Turkey.

Tactical alignment continues to play into the hands of Damascus, Moscow, and Washington, according to columnist E. Damantsev. Actively supported by volunteers, as well as small arms, anti-tank and portable anti-aircraft missile weapons, the YPG and YPJ detachments plunged the Turkish army into a protracted and exhausting confrontation that could only weaken Turkey in a few months in geostrategic terms.
Apparently, Erdogan did not suffer much losses, since the other day he announced the imminent opening of the Manbidz Front. Tied up in battles in this direction, the Turkish Armed Forces will finally lose their combat stability.

China is interested in the Arctic
The State Council of the People's Republic of China has published a White Paper on the Arctic policy of the state. China does not have its own territory in the Arctic, but Beijing considers itself to be the “interested party” in the affairs of the Arctic. The new Silk Road became “polar”. Analysts say that within the framework of the Chinese initiatives, Russia has a chance to build partnerships in the development of the Northern Sea Route.
China and Russia have another reason for what various experts now call “partnerships”. This time the partnership will develop around the Northern Sea Route. There is every reason for this project: Moscow itself set its sights on this route in order to supply the Chinese with what the bear economy is strong about: energy resources.
However, Moscow is now bad with money: oil in the world is not sufficiently expensive, or there is a hole in the budget, or Western sanctions are in the way. So, the calculation will be on Chinese investment in the development of the Arctic region. Experts confirm this point.
“A number of experts believe that this is a promising topic: joint development of the Arctic using Chinese investment resources. They have their own experience in the construction of icebreakers and special equipment. Others believe that this is a very difficult topic and should not be much integrated with the Chinese in the exploration of the Arctic. But the process is still going quietly, ”says Nikolai Kotlyarov, head of the Russian-Chinese Center for Financial Academy under the Russian government. However, China’s “bypass Russia” will not work: it’s probably only about joint development of routes, that is, on mutually beneficial terms.
What can be these conditions is not yet clear.

To what was said in the article, it should be added that the passage through the Suez Canal costs money, and not small - from 8 to 12 dollars per ton of displacement of the vessel, that is, for example, the passage of a vessel with a displacement of 30000 tons costs 360000 dollars. In addition, there are queues to pass through the Suez Canal, since the throughput is low, and this also increases the time. But icebreaker assistance costs money, although icebreakers are practically unnecessary with Arc7 ice-class tankers.

Nobody can exploit the Northern Sea Route without Russia. At all. Therefore - this is a good idea, and very useful for our North. Let them swim. Railways from the Urals to the coast will also greatly reduce the transport “shoulder”. Another thing - do not forget about the benefits.
Interception in compliance with the rules
The US State Department issued a statement of "deep concern." "Concern" arose in connection with the interception of the American reconnaissance aircraft EP-3 Aries II, which carried out reconnaissance operations over the Black Sea. It was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 fighter over neutral waters. The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the interception was carried out in compliance with all safety standards. The American military aircraft was accompanied by a Russian fighter, which did not allow the US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft to be in Russian airspace.
US Department of State - Russia: Stop intercepting our military aircraft!..

"Russian was very close." New videos of Russian EP-27 by Russian Su-3

And for some reason, the following fact does not surprise at all: the US State Department did not comment on the question of having forgotten an American reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea!
By the way, the Pentagon is also unhappy. Only in the case of the American defense ministries are we no longer talking about “preoccupation”, but about the “unprofessionalism” of the Russians.
The Pentagon published Su-27 flybills a few meters from the EP-3 Aries II aircraft and stated that "the Russian plane was very close," and this is "unprofessional and dangerous, since the American board hit the jet."

That's right: an attack that caused the death of foreign citizens. Perfect by the Russian Air Force over NEUTRAL waters. And you call for "work harder." It's like knocking them right on takeoff? Bomb airfields based? Formally, they did not break anything.

It is necessary to meet ON THE RISE, and not when the fact of approximation has already happened. The Britas meet us from afar, with honor, and we have completely lost “respect” for the Americans. This indicates neglect, not the danger of this flight, or the ineffectiveness of the DRLO facilities. I don’t need to represent this, I have представля represented ’5 for years on the border of the USA and the USSR. The less we pay attention to them, the more they become impudent. The air defense forces were not talking "neutral waters", but "100-kilometer neutral zone".
Majumdar prophesies nuclear war
Well-known analyst Dave Majumdar writes about the possible advantage of the North Atlantic alliance in the war and the “Doomsday” offensive in the popular magazine National Interest. A war with Russia will lead to a nuclear catastrophe that will kill billions of people.
A counter-attack by the NATO forces of the Russian forces would be a bloody response and would lead to the highest risk of an escalation of the conflict, the analyst believes. However, just such a scenario is “one of the probable results of the Russian invasion,” a specialist is sad.
On the other hand, according to the US Congress, Moscow is gradually destroying its non-strategic nuclear arsenal. The reduction has been going on since the end of the Cold War. In today's Russia, however, there are up to 4.000 tactical nuclear units. However, other experts suggest that Russia has only 2.000 tactical units of nuclear weapons. But these data are hardly accurate. A relatively recent analysis by the Royal United Service Institute of Igor Sutyagin (Great Britain) showed that Russia has no more than 1.040 units. non-strategic nuclear weapons. Of these, from 128 to 210 warheads are in service with the Russian ground forces. In Russian navy there are about 330 tactical units of nuclear weapons, the Russian Air Force - 334 units The air defense forces of the Russian Federation have another 68 to 166 tactical nuclear weapons mounted on various ground-to-air missiles. Finally, according to a report presented by the Federation of American Scientists, Russia generally has no deployed non-strategic nuclear weapons. All tactical units are "in the central storage", and "several thousand decommissioned non-strategic warheads are awaiting dismantle."
On that "study" of Majumdar ends. His idea is clear: Americans and NATO should not be so afraid of the Russian nuclear response and "escalation" - the Russians may not have time to give a tactical nuclear response. They are all gathering dust in warehouses or outdated and waiting for disassembly.
On the other hand, analyst Majumdar hints at the “billions” of future victims of the new war. Obviously, behind these words lies the analyst's opinion about the possible use of Russian strategic nuclear weapons, and not tactical ones. It is logical: since the Russians are not ready to fight with tactical "units", strategic ones will be used. But what about: there is a danger to the "existence of the state."
The specialist sees salvation for the West in one thing: in the power of NATO. The alliance must certainly have “advantages” over the Russians. Apparently, this is the main message of the whole article. The more NATO has the military strength and technical advantages, the less chances Mr. Putin has for the occupation of the Baltic countries.
But why does the Kremlin need the Baltic countries? Not a single Western expert not only answers this question, but, in fact, does not even put it. The only answer that foreign analysts and politicians give is this: Putin wants to restore Russia's former greatness and extend the borders of the Fatherland to the former borders of the USSR. However, this is only a parody of the answer.

As soon as I read up to the name "analyst" (Dave Majumdar), I got sick of reading further. And after this phrase: “A counter-attack by the Russian NATO forces would be a bloody response and would lead to the highest risk of escalation of the conflict,” the analyst believes. However, just such a scenario is “one of the probable results of the Russian invasion,” the expert believes, “I finally believed in the“ prophetic gift ”of this divine analyte.
Russia is really asleep and sees how to unleash a nuclear war for the sake of these Baltic countries with reduced social responsibility. Well, what else can you say about the gift of foresight by Dave Majumdar? To say that such "analysts" in the USSR were kept in special-purpose studies, it means to say nothing. With the same success, and I can act as an international analyst, I even think I will succeed much better.

Shooting cannons at rockets is profitable
The US Army is looking for an inexpensive replacement for interceptor missiles. According to breakingdefense.com, the Pentagon’s Strategic Opportunity Office is working to create an artillery missile defense system. According to the head of the artillery anti-missile system development program, Vincent Sabio, the “art-air defense” testing will take place this year. The US military believes that artillery as an air defense will be significantly cheaper than traditional rocket systems.
The Americans decided to fire missiles from cannons
Artillery missile defense: a new proposal of American specialists
Artillery missile defense: a new proposal of American specialists
There are specifics.
One solution to this problem could be the adaptation of existing 155 mm caliber artillery systems (M777 and M198 howitzers, M109 ACS, and also shipboard artillery systems) under the HVP (Hyper Velocity Projectile) projectile. The named ammunition was originally designed for railguns, but after the cessation of funding for their development, the military is looking for a new application for the projectile. After some adaptation (including an increase in barrel length), existing gun mounts will be able to shoot at air targets with adjustable HVP ammunition.
There is a big savings, which Uncle Sam constantly thinks about. The fact is that the cost of one shot of HVP ammunition will be only 85000 dollars. Expensive? Compare: the Patriot interceptor missile costs the US budget about 3 million dollars!
Therefore, the concept can find practical application.

Cool! Howitzer on drone! Russia is lagging behind :)

If you have already decided to use a projectile for missile defense, it is better to create not a kinetic projectile, but a carotid projectile. With a caliber in 6 inches, the affected area will be large enough, especially if you shoot the entire battery at a single target. True, this is only possible with object defense. On the move or from a ship to create such a density of fire, to put it mildly, is unrealistic.
Alex-a832
Well, yes, very cheap ... One shot of a howitzer as an anti-aircraft gun - almost 100 kilobax. They just blitzkrieg and count. Otherwise, not a single budget, even an American one, in a long war will pull such “economical” weapons.
Saw, Shura, saw!
According to the observer Y. Podolyaki, the new promising US missile defense system (see the previous episode of “The Results of the Week”) is a “nonsense and a huge budget drank”.
What is expensive for gunners is cheap for anti-missile defense. In his idea, Sabio, vital objects in the United States and on the battlefield will be guarded by American gunners, who will shoot down ballistic missiles with ultra-high-speed and precise shells better than any Patriot. At the same time, the estimated cost per target will be “total” 22 shells. “I just want to say to Vincent: stop, remember the laws of physics! - writes Yu Podolyaka. - What is a super-high projectile? What are xnumx miles per hour? We are not on Privoz. The M5600 “Palladin”, even with a new barrel, is not an electromagnetic gun, it is an ordinary ACS that will push a projectile at a maximum speed of 109-1 km per second. And it will be at ground level. Already at 1,2-10 km altitude, the residual velocity of the projectile, which means that its freedom of maneuver will be very weak, and therefore the probability of hitting will be low. But that's not all. In order for the few seconds that the ballistic warhead of the ballistic missile flies on the final part of the trajectory, to launch 15 projectiles, you need an 22 barrel, since their rate of fire does not allow even an 22 shot to be made during this time. Total we have a division ... Yes, I almost forgot. We need several more sets of radar, each of which is at a minimum costing up to 2 million dollars (oh, how the palms of happy American generals are burning!) .. ”
In addition, 550 MW of electricity will be needed, which means that a nuclear power unit, a separate substation and a very complex distribution system will be installed nearby, which, if necessary, will disconnect neighboring cities from power consumption and ensure the area’s missile defense.
However, the tests are only outlined ...

Open hunting season
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia warns: for citizens of the Russian Federation there is a great danger of being taken hostage by representatives of the special services of foreign countries. We are talking about numerous facts when the Russians became victims of the arbitrariness of the special services of a number of countries, ultimately under the hood of the United States of America.
The Russian Foreign Ministry notes that the ministry is making every effort to relieve tensions with relations with US partners, but Washington is moving in the direction of continuing confrontation. It is noted that for the Russians, representing at least some interest for the American special services, there is a real hunt almost all over the world. Special recommendations apply to those who may well have real problems with the American Themis.
The eerie warning from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation did not appear on an empty place. The number of cases of "hunting" for the citizens of Russia has already reached four dozen. In particular, the case of the Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was captured in 2010 in Liberia and exported to the USA, is widely known.
Note, this is not the first such warning of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The previous warning was published in February last year. Mead advised Russians do not visit 111 countries, including the EU states, Thailand, Israel.

America didn't like them
The “Kremlin report,” presented by the US Treasury Department, included a number of Russian officials and oligarchs associated with President Putin.
The black list opens the government: the names of Medvedev, Shuvalov, Lavrov and others are listed. As for the “oligarchs,” the following gentlemen should be prepared for punishment: R. Abramovich, O. Deripaska, V. Potanin, A. Usmanov, A. Vekselberg, V Alekperov, K. Shamalov and others.
According to the US Treasury Secretary, S. Mnuchin, the publication of the list means that the listed persons will be subject to sanctions. Interpret the report otherwise not worth it, he sneered. “This [report] should not be interpreted in any way as if we do not apply sanctions to anyone from this report,” he explained.
It seems that in the near future the team of the American Minister Mnuchin will arrange for someone from the "Kremlin list" a demonstrative whipping. The scapegoats have already been appointed. And Mr. Trump would hardly object to this. Literally after the list was shown to congressmen, Mr. President of the United States broke out in an appeal to Congress, in which he called Russia a rival challenging America.
In the first annual message to the congress “On the situation of the country,” Donald Trump made policy statements of principle, which are essentially the foundation of his current program. He spoke out against reducing the US military budget, said it was necessary to modernize nuclear arsenals, and spoke of the threat to the interests of the United States coming from Russia and the PRC.
Russia Trump described negatively negatively. Besides the fact that this state "challenges" the United States, it is also a rival for the American economy and an opponent of American values. Of course, the United States is facing such challenges. "The power that has no equal" Mr. President declared the right means of "defense" from opponents. The nuclear arsenal should also be made “so powerful” so that it can contain any inclinations of the “aggressors”.
In short, the answer to Russian is prepared in the spirit of Reagan.
