The results of the week. "Battle approved"
And buy your carbines. You just give money
The military department of Ukraine intends to carry out a large-scale re-equipment of its units. AK-74 and AKM, which are individual weapons APU militants must be replaced by Canadian-made assault rifles.
The carbines are Canadian, the top managers of the gas transportation campaign are Polish, the instructors are American. So they live. Shooting from Kalash is a “tin” as non-communicating. And to please overseas friends with the fact that they seem ready to go completely to NATO standards - the very thing ... You say, just give money ... And Canadians are not in a hurry, because they themselves are aware of the Ukrainian mentality - half of Canada - Glushko and Polishchuki (no offense to non-Canadian Glushko and Polishchuk) since the days of great migration.

Have to remind
The Union of Syrian Veterans Association appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to recognize them as internationalist soldiers in connection with participation in the Syrian operation 1983-1984; now the place of their service is Moscow Air Defense District.
By and large, it is again a question of how those who are involved in covert operations are perceived by the state. Official recognition after many years is quite possible, all the more so that anyone who was even the tip of the nose in the subject, and especially not in the subject, had already heard the "secret" operation. It is sad that the state itself brings the situation to the point that people have to remind about themselves, and to remind loudly - including open letters. People clearly felt forgotten that it looks, to put it mildly, not good. After all, the level of trust in the state on the part of citizens directly depends on the state’s respect for its citizens.

We decided to break in?
The decision of Moscow to send the latest combat aircraft to Syria completely refutes speculation about the allegedly opportunistic motivations of the current Russian policy in the Middle East.
We were all joking about the fact that the "Armata" must be walking along the Syrian sands. After the information about the appearance of the Su-57 in the SAR, we understand that it is possible to make a joke. You look, a month or two, and they will decide to test the weapons system not only on airplanes, but also on tanks new generation. Again, no one has canceled advertising of domestic weapons where the attention of the whole world is riveted. And for designers - an excellent opportunity to modify the equipment ideally for combat conditions.
The main thing here is the issue of security and the tested military equipment as well. And then with the events of December 31 on "Hmeimim" there are certain questions about the reliability of the "concrete fence".

The representative of the Federation Council, Alexei Pushkov, commented on the decision of Ukraine to ban the supply of D-436 aircraft engines to Russia. Recall that Ukraine imposed a ban on the supply of aircraft engines used in civil aviation. Previously, the Be-200 and An-148 aircraft were equipped with such engines, manufactured by Motor Sich Production Association.
You can, of course, repeatedly declare that Ukraine destroys its industrial enterprises, cuts the branch on which it sits. But just not for the sake of all this, and started a project called "Maidan"? All the goals of the bloody performance of the Maidan are being achieved in stages. And the main one is the economic, political and social separation from the civilization united with Russia. What will ultimately remain from the severed body - those who started this orgy, do not care about the word at all.

Volga is not everywhere in Russia, not the Yenisei everywhere
In 2018, two new nuclear units will be connected at once to the unified Russian power system: the 1 unit of the Leningrad NPP-2 under construction and the Rostov NPP unit 4. And if with the first one everything is simple and clear, the new station is being built next to the decommissioning Leningrad NPP, then in the history of the last two, Rostov blocks, there was a lot of politics, and therefore it came out very exciting.
If such a pace can be called "hurried", then for God's sake, of course. But, apparently, the concepts of haste and speed have recently been significantly devalued, if the construction of a single power unit over several years is now referred to as these terms. If so, then it turns out that nuclear power plants in the USSR were built at all with “cosmic velocities”. What for? So even grandfather Lenin talked about the "banal" electrification of the whole country. And we have it (the country), and to this day in some regions it needs a significant increase in the power generating capacity. Well, not everywhere is the Volga and Yenisei.

On Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine filed a lawsuit in arbitration court against Russia for “violations” of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
“19 February 2018 Ukraine submitted its memorandum in an arbitration court against Russia under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The memorandum proves that Russia violated the sovereign rights of Ukraine in the Black and Azov Seas and in the Kerch Strait. ”
And Ukraine is preparing a lawsuit against Russia for the "illegal" production of 7,2 billion cubic meters of gas in the Crimea on the Black Sea shelf. Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits ... Nobody in the leadership thinks about working in a country that has been restraining aggression, but not curbing its own verbal diarrhea. All they owe. All they sue. Meanwhile, according to international experts, in the last 2 of the year alone, 12% of the working-age population left Ukraine. On some people, against the background of complete indifference to the real fate of the country, a thing is contagious for others, and therefore the RUN continues.

The Russian Aircraft Corporation "MiG" expects this year to proceed with the implementation of the order for the MiG-35 for the Russian Federation Air Force.
Sometimes it seems that the MiG-35, we are going to produce according to the results of the audience vote. Which solution will pick up more text messages will do just that. And such a fortune telling on the daisy regarding the expediency / inexpediency of the project implementation already leads to a loss of time, and may also lead to a loss of enthusiasm. And how many industrial companies have already collapsed, while they were discussing how to “correctly enter the market and not be drowned in there”.

Call by "Atlas"
The newspaper Izvestia, citing a source in the defense ministry, reports that the Defense Ministry decided to start issuing domestically produced mobile phones to officers of the RF Armed Forces who have access to secret information (documents of particular importance from the point of view of the country's military potential). We are talking about mobile devices M-663C "Atlas".
Feelings are mixed.
A secure phone for command personnel is needed. But there are questions. First, the pricing policy. There is an explanation: it seems that they are not calculated for a wide consumer, and therefore the price is for a hundred thousand. But the fact of the matter is that the manufacturer could well be engaged in releasing a wave of household civilian models - without encryption and other secrets that the average user of a mobile device does not need. And they would buy, at least for the sake of supporting domestic production. And then it would be possible, having adjusted the process, and to come to the optimal prices.
Secondly, does this mean that commanders will now precisely be banned from using other gadgets at military sites? After all, as the readers rightly noticed, what is the use of it if two mobile phones can be carried in different pockets of the uniform?

Turkey vs Syria?
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt авavushoglu threatened the Syrian army with military actions if it supports the Kurdish formations in Afrin, the Turkish television channel NTV reported. Turkey does not see problems in entering the city of Syrian government troops, if they clear the region of the Kurdish armed detachments of national self-defense (YPG). However, if they “protect the YPG from us, no one will stop Turkey and Turkish soldiers.” And this, in his words, "is valid also for Manbij and the territory east of the Euphrates."
From the Lebanese edition of Al-Masdar News, it was reported that the Turkish army was conducting a massive artillery bombardment of Afrin in order to prevent the introduction of Syrian troops into the area.
In addition, the command of the armed forces of Turkey published a document that refers to the interim results of the operation in the Afrin area. The document data was voiced by Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself. He said that in carrying out the operation “Olive Branch” from 20 in January in the Afrin region, 1,6 thousand representatives of Kurdish “terrorists” were neutralized.
Ankara, we recall, considers armed Kurdish units "terrorist". Thus, the "Sultan" is determined to resolutely and is not going to give up his plans for military resistance to the Kurds in Syrian territory.

Russia will take the side of Israel
If Iran attacks Israel, Russia will be on the side of the Jewish state, Russian Deputy Ambassador to Tel Aviv Leonid Frolov said.
The diplomat made a promise to support the Israeli side a few days after the incident with drone on the Syrian-Israeli border. “In the event of aggression against Israel, not only the United States will be on the side of Israel: Russia will also take its side. Many of our compatriots live here in Israel, and Israel is generally a friendly country, and thus we will not allow any aggression against Israel,” Frolov said in an interview with the Times of Israel.
Recall that on the night of February 10, the Israeli military reported interception of an Iranian drone that invaded the airspace of the country from the territory of the SAR. In response, Iranian facilities located in Syria were attacked. Since then, the situation has only heated ...

Five years - in three years!
Five years - in three years! The American Armata (in special quotes) will be built fifteen years earlier. Americans will go ahead of schedule.
The fact is that both the Americans and the Europeans recognized: the Russian concept of development of armored vehicles is correct. Russia was ahead of its main opponents. Russian "Armata" went into the series, indicates Yu. Podoliak, but the Americans are planning to commission their "analogue of the Russian combat platform" no earlier than ten years from now. Europeans - and that later. Yes, and this alone plans.
Meanwhile, Washington will hardly succeed in creating something in record time. On the other hand, there is one nuance: the creators will not spare the dollars for the “race for the leader”. The Pentagon requires a huge military budget for the next fiscal year.
Meanwhile, the design of a new combat platform to replace the "Leclerc" and "Leopard-2" attended to Europe. Only her plans are more modest. Now the concept of the Main Ground Combat System 2030 + (MGCS 2030 +) program is being worked out. Europeans understand that they will not receive a new tank earlier than 2030. In essence, Podolyak believes, this is a repetition of the concept of "Almaty".
However, by the year 2030, so many things can change that all forecasts are meaningless. One thing is clear: a new tank race has begun in the world.

They do not have enough tanks
According to the results of the NATO exercise Winter Camp 2018, which ended in Estonia, the British military concluded that powerful NATO tank forces would be one of the most effective means of countering the aggressive plans allegedly possessed by Russia.
The Daily Star reports that the British military came to this conclusion after conducting the exercises in conditions as close as possible to the fighting conditions (temperature: —19 degrees Celsius, distance: 150 km from the Russian border). 200 combat vehicles, including the Challenger tanks (probably the Challenger II, because the Challenger had been removed from service in the UK), the CV9035 and Warrior infantry fighting vehicles, as well as the Pasi armored personnel carriers, participated in the exercise.
Probably, the British had such optimistic thoughts about tanks because during the “Winter Camp 2018” exercises there was practically no equipment failure due to low temperature (one of the well-known problems of the Challenger II).
However, it will be extremely difficult to reproduce the real opposition of tank armadas in Europe in the spirit of the Cold War. European members of NATO simply do not have as many armored vehicles as in the 70s of the last century. At the disposal of the same Britain today no more than four hundred far from perfect machines Challenger II.

Stand up?
Questions regarding the outcome of a likely clash between our only AUG led by the Admiral Kuznetsov TAKR and one or more AUG of the US Navy are raised with enviable regularity by our observers and military experts. The outcome of such a confrontation, for example, in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea, will depend on the inviolability of the conditional zone of restriction and prohibition of access and the A2 / AD maneuver established around the most important strategic sites of the North fleet in the Murmansk region.
In the event of the destruction of one or several American AUGs south-east of Jan Mayen Island (Norway), the Northern Fleet will protect its strategic hubs in the northern part of the Murmansk region from massive air strikes of deck aircraft of the US Navy operating from the North Atlantic. The fact is that the total depth of impact of deck multipurpose F / A-18E / F "Super Hornet" fighter jets using AGM-158B JASSM-ER tactical long-range cruise missiles can be around 1900 km (medium range + plus JASSM missile range Er).

Please do not buy from Russians
The spokesman for the US Department of State, Heather Nauert, during a briefing, said that Washington had turned to foreign partners about the need to abandon deals in the military-technical sphere with the Russian Federation. First of all, we are talking about the fact that the United States is “discouraging” third countries from purchasing weapons and military equipment from Russia. If you believe Nauert, then to date, "some countries" have already abandoned transactions in the military-technical industry in the amount of about 3 billion dollars. It was noted that this is due to the previously imposed sanctions against a number of Russian defense companies.
From the "gas war" with Russia in Europe, the United States moved to a global economic war. The United States is using sanctions against Russia as an element of unfair competition now in the arms market, where Russia holds second place.
Earlier, we recall, the Russian military industry reported on a portfolio of export orders in the amount of about 47 billion dollars. Orders are painted for several years ahead.

I'm not Obama to you! Or Obama?
Donald Trump pointed to his intransigently tough position on Russia. Like, he's not some Obama there. The hard-hitting trump was spoken by press secretary Sarah Sanders, who told the world that her boss in the White House treated Russia "much tougher" than Mr. Obama did in all eight years of government.
Trump and his team do not accept the current Russia under any sauce, and therefore arming Ukraine and filling European NATO states with arms. Western analysts explain the hard line by the fact that the “tsar” rules in Russia, and the current Russian era is even darker than the era of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee - at that time decisions were made collectively.
The West is pursuing a “hard line” against Russia because it considers unpredictable not Mr. Trump, but Putin, who likes to make decisions alone, without protocols, without extra witnesses and in special chambers. If during the Cold War, the United States and Western Europe learned to conduct diplomacy with the Russians, then under Putin this skill somehow resolved itself.
The “hard” line, from which the United States will not retreat, is explained by the fact that Western experts and politicians, including the militarist Trump, have no doubt: for the next six years, the Tsar will rule Russia again. Obviously, he will next appoint a successor - after all, this is the custom of the current kings.
With such an unpleasant Russian behavior, Washington remains only a monotonous harsh reaction. And this means that the United States and the European Union do not have an exact, appropriate strategy for contemporary Russia. This can be proved by the fact that Trump with respect to Russia as a whole is copying Obama’s policy - the policy of endless sanctions, conflict diplomacy and the armament of Europe. Scolding and calling Obama and members of his team, Trump does exactly the same thing in foreign policy.

Who is not fat, the criminal
Donald Trump decided it was time to increase the number of soldiers in his native army. Meanwhile, the Americans decided to ramp up their bellies. Now there is no one to go to the army: everyone is too fat.
For the next five years, the US authorities have planned an increase in the number of armed forces. Trump's plan, as always, is far from reality: there is almost no one to recruit for service. This was told by Brian Bander in the “Politico” edition.
The White House will soon realize that Trump's plans are something that does not correspond to reality in the least. Around 3 / 4 Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 years are not suitable for military service. And the first reason why a young man is not suitable for recruits is obesity. Many interfere and criminal past. In short, who is not fat is the culprit!
Specialists in the United States beat the alarm: the number of overweight young Americans is breaking records. Before that, everything is bad, that the army even proposes to lower the "standards" for recruits. But what to say: there are already proposals to take into the army young people with a criminal past!
It seems that the Pentagon does not even understand that, by recruiting young gangsters and fat men into the army, it creates future problems for its own safety. More precisely, for national security. Who can vouch for such a soldier? What will the army become if it begins to fill up the dregs of society? What will the armed forces become if their leadership distributes rifles and machine guns to criminals?

The military department of Ukraine intends to carry out a large-scale re-equipment of its units. AK-74 and AKM, which are individual weapons APU militants must be replaced by Canadian-made assault rifles.
The carbines are Canadian, the top managers of the gas transportation campaign are Polish, the instructors are American. So they live. Shooting from Kalash is a “tin” as non-communicating. And to please overseas friends with the fact that they seem ready to go completely to NATO standards - the very thing ... You say, just give money ...

In fact, 1984-35 years have already passed since 36, and the USSR has not existed since 1991, too! Probably, it would be possible for the Soviet government to meet the warriors-internationalists of the Soviet times! The title of "warrior-internationalist" in fact they deserved for the good of their country - their homeland!
The Soviet Union played a significant role in the Arab-Israeli conflict, starting with supporting the creation of Israel and in the Arab-Israeli war of 1947 — 1949, the subsequent change of position, up to the final break of diplomatic relations from the USSR after the Six-Day War (1967), and military political support for the enemies of Israel during the Cold War, starting in the second half of the 1950.
Diplomatic relations between the countries were restored only in October 1991 of the year, when the Soviet era was actually over.
It is important to bear in mind that the official Soviet ideology condemned the movement of world Zionism as a kind of bourgeois nationalism. Lenin saw in Zionism one of the manifestations of "bourgeois or petty-bourgeois nationalism, opposing proletarian internationalism and preaching class peace between the workers and capitalists of the same nationality." In the article “Mobilization of the reactionary forces and our tasks” (1903), Lenin declared that “the Zionist movement directly threatens the development of the class organization of the proletariat more than anti-Semitism, and since for us, the Social Democrats, there are no“ elected ”and“ non-elected “nations, we can’t give up on the task of fighting the“ prejudices of the Jewish masses ”.”
In particular, historically “the prejudices of the Jewish masses,” as Lenin put it, rested on the status of Jerusalem in the 1948 year, i.e. rested upon the proclamation, determination and recognition by all parties to this act of the borders of the independent state of Israel. Namely.
In November, the UN General Assembly considered 1949 a plan to turn Jerusalem into an international zone. Israel categorically rejected this plan, as if it did not take into account the demographic situation, the place of Jerusalem in the historical consciousness of the Jewish people and the desire of the Jewish majority in Jerusalem to be an integral part of the State of Israel.
Israel demanded to recognize Jerusalem as its capital. Due to the aggravation of the Israelis with the Arab world even before this - due to the aggressive policy of the Israeli Zionists in the region against the Arabs - the UN General Assembly, by a majority vote, taking into account the exacerbated situation in the region, decided to continue consideration of the internationalization plan for the city of Jerusalem.
And now we see that the state of Israel is pursuing its underbelly aggressive policy — proxy war — on BV against Arab states in alliance with Washington with an eye against Russia.

The result of this two peremogi: 1) Russia is forced to find a way out of the situation (import substitution or smuggling) 2) Ukraine is losing money and a segment of production, because few need more engines.

Meanwhile, according to international experts, in the last 2 of the year alone, 12% of the working-age population left Ukraine. On some people, against the background of complete indifference to the real fate of the country, a thing is contagious for others, and therefore the RUN continues.

The Russian Aircraft Corporation "MiG" expects this year to proceed with the implementation of the order for the MiG-35 for the Russian Federation Air Force.
Sometimes it seems that the MiG-35, we are going to produce according to the results of the audience vote. Which solution will pick up more text messages will do just that. And such a fortune telling on the daisy regarding the expediency / inexpediency of the project implementation already leads to a loss of time, and may also lead to a loss of enthusiasm. And how many industrial companies have already collapsed, while they were discussing how to “correctly enter the market and not be drowned in there”.

This is not a combat aircraft, this is a dove of peace, a flight pilot for entertainment ....
A combat aircraft is a means of delivering weapons (bombs, missiles ......).
The fact that it is double and “brand” must be preserved - this is understandable. But the flight range is increased by 500-600 km. - This means that the combat radius to increase by 170 -200 km compared to the MIG 29 - this is critically small? .
Maybe this is a mistake? Probably not! No wonder in all open sources there is no information about the combat radius of the MiG-35 .... and this tale about the tank instead of the second pilot ...
And now see the data from different open sources about the MiG-35:
- empty weight - 11000 kg;
- curb weight 17500 kg;
- normal take-off weight 17500 kg;
- combat radius with normal take-off weight 1000 km;
- fuel weight in internal tanks - 5350 kg ...
So normal take-off weight is even almost without missiles, it turns out that curb weight and normal weight is the same? It does not happen, gentlemen cheats ....
Such a dove of peace or a too “clean” fighter even we don’t need ... It’s impossible to use it as a percussion or shipboard ...

It is necessary to do a heavy drone drone on the basis of the MiG-35 and release in mass circulation. Instead of pilots with a cabin - fuel tanks to increase the speed / range.

If you remove the pilot, there is so much free there that the plane is reduced radically, no tanks will be needed instead of a cockpit. It will be excessive.
Call by "Atlas"
The newspaper Izvestia, citing a source in the defense ministry, reports that the Defense Ministry decided to start issuing domestically produced mobile phones to officers of the RF Armed Forces who have access to secret information (documents of particular importance from the point of view of the country's military potential). We are talking about mobile devices M-663C "Atlas".
Feelings are mixed.
A secure phone for command personnel is needed. But there are questions. First, the pricing policy. There is an explanation: it seems that they are not calculated for a wide consumer, and therefore the price is for a hundred thousand. But the fact of the matter is that the manufacturer could well be engaged in releasing a wave of household civilian models - without encryption and other secrets that the average user of a mobile device does not need. And they would buy, at least for the sake of supporting domestic production. And then it would be possible, having adjusted the process, and to come to the optimal prices.
Secondly, does this mean that commanders will now precisely be banned from using other gadgets at military sites? After all, as the readers rightly noticed, what is the use of it if two mobile phones can be carried in different pockets of the uniform?

Turkey vs Syria?
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt авavushoglu threatened the Syrian army with military actions if it supports the Kurdish formations in Afrin, the Turkish television channel NTV reported. Turkey does not see problems in entering the city of Syrian government troops, if they clear the region of the Kurdish armed detachments of national self-defense (YPG). However, if they “protect the YPG from us, no one will stop Turkey and Turkish soldiers.” And this, in his words, "is valid also for Manbij and the territory east of the Euphrates."
From the Lebanese edition of Al-Masdar News, it was reported that the Turkish army was conducting a massive artillery bombardment of Afrin in order to prevent the introduction of Syrian troops into the area.

In addition, the command of the armed forces of Turkey published a document that refers to the interim results of the operation in the Afrin area. The document data was voiced by Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself. He said that in carrying out the operation “Olive Branch” from 20 in January in the Afrin region, 1,6 thousand representatives of Kurdish “terrorists” were neutralized.
Ankara, we recall, considers armed Kurdish units "terrorist". Thus, the "Sultan" is determined to resolutely and is not going to give up his plans for military resistance to the Kurds in Syrian territory.

Turkey throws dust in the eyes of the Americans: it is much more profitable for the Kurds to be ruled by Syria. Then they will not be able to speak out against Turkey. Thus, the Turks seem to show the United States that they are not at war with the Kurds. Now, if Afrin is taken by the Syrians, the Turks will be able to redirect their troops to another place. So little by little and all Kurds will flow under Assad's wing! On whom will the United States rely in Syria? Here such, I think, a polynomodovochka!
Alex-a832
I support your opinion. From the very beginning, it more and more resembles a performance for the USA and the Kurds. If Russia conducts a performance from a soufflera booth, everything will go smoothly, they will not mate. And if not, then the performance can come out with a natural mordobitiem.
Safevi
And what, Turkey should calmly watch how the Kurds can get away from fair retribution? If Assad was engaged in what is not known, when the Kurds built entire underground cities using reinforced concrete (Turkish troops find them every day) it is clearly not one year, when the Kurds ousted Assad's troops, when the Kurds supported the PKK separatists who sow death and destruction in Turkish cities, Be prepared for the fact that instead of you someone else will restore order. The Turks do not yet use all their firepower. So, they are already 4-5 days under Jinderes, but do not spend any bombing. But if the Assadians come to the aid of the Kurds, then this will already mean an all-out war, in which Assad is clearly not shining. I do not think that Russia will support Assad in such a matter.
Russia will take the side of Israel
If Iran attacks Israel, Russia will be on the side of the Jewish state, Russian Deputy Ambassador to Tel Aviv Leonid Frolov said.
The diplomat made a promise to support the Israeli side a few days after the incident with drone on the Syrian-Israeli border. “In the event of aggression against Israel, not only the United States will be on the side of Israel: Russia will also take its side. Many of our compatriots live here in Israel, and Israel is generally a friendly country, and thus we will not allow any aggression against Israel,” Frolov said in an interview with the Times of Israel.
Recall that on the night of February 10, the Israeli military reported interception of an Iranian drone that invaded the airspace of the country from the territory of the SAR. In response, Iranian facilities located in Syria were attacked. Since then, the situation has only heated ...

Five years - in three years!
Five years - in three years! The American Armata (in special quotes) will be built fifteen years earlier. Americans will go ahead of schedule.
The fact is that both the Americans and the Europeans recognized: the Russian concept of development of armored vehicles is correct. Russia was ahead of its main opponents. Russian "Armata" went into the series, indicates Yu. Podoliak, but the Americans are planning to commission their "analogue of the Russian combat platform" no earlier than ten years from now. Europeans - and that later. Yes, and this alone plans.
Meanwhile, Washington will hardly succeed in creating something in record time. On the other hand, there is one nuance: the creators will not spare the dollars for the “race for the leader”. The Pentagon requires a huge military budget for the next fiscal year.
Meanwhile, the design of a new combat platform to replace the "Leclerc" and "Leopard-2" attended to Europe. Only her plans are more modest. Now the concept of the Main Ground Combat System 2030 + (MGCS 2030 +) program is being worked out. Europeans understand that they will not receive a new tank earlier than 2030. In essence, Podolyak believes, this is a repetition of the concept of "Almaty".
However, by the year 2030, so many things can change that all forecasts are meaningless. One thing is clear: a new tank race has begun in the world.
Comments from our readers:

It does not work for the Americans to create a new armored platform in the coming years 15. Tank building in the United States in decline, enough to recall the plant in Detroit. In general, I doubt that they will succeed in creating something worthwhile even in 15 years. Do not be surprised if the placement of such an order will be transferred by the Americans into the hands of German tank builders, and, possibly, in cooperation with the Israelis.

Indeed, the only tank factory held until recently, owned by Cadillac Gage, is closed, the competence has been lost. It remains only to draw specialists from other countries with their equipment.

Ukrainians can be attracted, they still have specialists and equipment, and most importantly, traditions and achievements ... They adapt, Americanize and will work.
They do not have enough tanks
According to the results of the NATO exercise Winter Camp 2018, which ended in Estonia, the British military concluded that powerful NATO tank forces would be one of the most effective means of countering the aggressive plans allegedly possessed by Russia.
The Daily Star reports that the British military came to this conclusion after conducting the exercises in conditions as close as possible to the fighting conditions (temperature: —19 degrees Celsius, distance: 150 km from the Russian border). 200 combat vehicles, including the Challenger tanks (probably the Challenger II, because the Challenger had been removed from service in the UK), the CV9035 and Warrior infantry fighting vehicles, as well as the Pasi armored personnel carriers, participated in the exercise.
Probably, the British had such optimistic thoughts about tanks because during the “Winter Camp 2018” exercises there was practically no equipment failure due to low temperature (one of the well-known problems of the Challenger II).
However, it will be extremely difficult to reproduce the real opposition of tank armadas in Europe in the spirit of the Cold War. European members of NATO simply do not have as many armored vehicles as in the 70s of the last century. At the disposal of the same Britain today no more than four hundred far from perfect machines Challenger II.

Eugene, my respect! I am generally touched by such military "analysts" as the British (something from the category of "British scientists have proved") and especially such "military experts" as a former gynecologist, and now a proctologist, ugh, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen. This is really the apogee of German military thought. All these Mansteins, Guderians, Goths, Rommeli and others turned upside down in a coffin, so that there they turned over, they rotate there with the speed of a windmill, seeing what the descendants of the Third Reich turned into.
However, the article is still bravura, in the place of the author I would not be so optimistic about the same Germany, the story, she, you know, the thing is so clever, it repeats often. If we recall the state of the Reichswehr in the Weimar Republic, then it was no better than in the modern Bundeswehr, however with the advent of Hitler to power, the situation has changed radically. Germany in a very short time has created such a military machine, which is equal to the 41 year, the world did not exist. And I would not exclude the appearance of the Fuhrer 2.0 in Germany in the light of recent events. Merkel, with her migrant policy, brought Germany to the pen, the Germans were more and more discontented, and the far-right could well take advantage of this. And where is the guarantee that among them there is no new Fuhrer? Considering the industrial potential of Germany and the fact that in the event of an attack on Russia, the Americans would not put sticks in the wheels of the Germans, I would not be so optimistic. This is on the one hand.
On the other hand, the British military analysts, as I already wrote, are not much smarter than their fellow "British scientists." What the hell is Prokhorovka 2.0? Given that NATO will have overwhelming air superiority, well, at least quantitatively, the likelihood of launching a nuclear strike in response to an attack on our country increases multiply. No, I do not say that ours will wave a nuclear baton right and left, but in the event of an obvious defeat in a non-nuclear conflict, we simply have nothing else to do. We will not be left alive, which means we will have nothing to lose. So in the place of their "analysts" I would attend to one single question: is it worth it to attack Russia at all?

Varyag 0711, you are completely behind the advanced military thought of Western Europe! It is with the help of such soft power (just imagine what unique capabilities the former gynecologist-proctologist has!) The West will crush the morale of Ivan the Terrible! You see how much the Defense Ministry in NATO is occupied by "menacing lionesses"! And the broad attraction to the service of the ladies - is that just for you? No, our fighters have not had to face such a formidable opponent yet! There will be no time to shoot, since under each bush both the table and the house will be ready for them. And a terrible battle under Prokhorovka is even possible, if all this soft power is not too lazy to descend on us. Yes, and our fighters, I think, will not mind at all. The main thing is to agree where and when the meeting will take place!
Stand up?
Questions regarding the outcome of a likely clash between our only AUG led by the Admiral Kuznetsov TAKR and one or more AUG of the US Navy are raised with enviable regularity by our observers and military experts. The outcome of such a confrontation, for example, in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea, will depend on the inviolability of the conditional zone of restriction and prohibition of access and the A2 / AD maneuver established around the most important strategic sites of the North fleet in the Murmansk region.
In the event of the destruction of one or several American AUGs south-east of Jan Mayen Island (Norway), the Northern Fleet will protect its strategic hubs in the northern part of the Murmansk region from massive air strikes of deck aircraft of the US Navy operating from the North Atlantic. The fact is that the total depth of impact of deck multipurpose F / A-18E / F "Super Hornet" fighter jets using AGM-158B JASSM-ER tactical long-range cruise missiles can be around 1900 km (medium range + plus JASSM missile range Er).

The conclusion from the article is this: we do not need a surface fleet; in the event of an AUG attack, the VKS and the submarine component of the Navy will do everything ...

In general, you first need to give a firm answer to what latitude the American AUG can operate. This is not "Kuzya" for you.
Monarchist
Remember this proverb: Uncle in Kiev, and in the garden of elder? So is the author: he speaks about the Murmansk zone and for some reason mentions the Black Sea Fleet, but he is in no way tied to the Federation Council. Perhaps the author proposes to relocate the Black Sea Fleet to cover the A2 / AD zone? Where does the author get the information that our “Kuzi” has “Granites”? The site flashed infa that "Granite" already have "Kuzi" no.
Please do not buy from Russians
The spokesman for the US Department of State, Heather Nauert, during a briefing, said that Washington had turned to foreign partners about the need to abandon deals in the military-technical sphere with the Russian Federation. First of all, we are talking about the fact that the United States is “discouraging” third countries from purchasing weapons and military equipment from Russia. If you believe Nauert, then to date, "some countries" have already abandoned transactions in the military-technical industry in the amount of about 3 billion dollars. It was noted that this is due to the previously imposed sanctions against a number of Russian defense companies.
From the "gas war" with Russia in Europe, the United States moved to a global economic war. The United States is using sanctions against Russia as an element of unfair competition now in the arms market, where Russia holds second place.
Earlier, we recall, the Russian military industry reported on a portfolio of export orders in the amount of about 47 billion dollars. Orders are painted for several years ahead.

Calm down ... And look at everything more and more ... Russia (the Central Bank, whose 80% profit comes directly to the budget) invests money in US government bonds and makes money on this !!! So, 106 billion in US government bonds now bring about 2,3-2,4% per annum, that is, the US pays 2,5 billion dollars in one coupon to Russia annually, which is enough, for example, for X-NUMX T-1000 tanks a YEAR !!!
In addition, an increase in investments in US bonds (as well as in other countries) occurs automatically, as the gold reserves of Russia are constantly replenished, with one gold on 200 tons per year, and investments in bonds of foreign countries (but not all but only reliable EU countries) increase proportionally. , USA) ...
In general, we need reserves in dollars simply because, for example, we buy the same equipment for our enterprises, including the military industrial complex, for currency !!!

I'm not Obama to you! Or Obama?
Donald Trump pointed to his intransigently tough position on Russia. Like, he's not some Obama there. The hard-hitting trump was spoken by press secretary Sarah Sanders, who told the world that her boss in the White House treated Russia "much tougher" than Mr. Obama did in all eight years of government.
Trump and his team do not accept the current Russia under any sauce, and therefore arming Ukraine and filling European NATO states with arms. Western analysts explain the hard line by the fact that the “tsar” rules in Russia, and the current Russian era is even darker than the era of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee - at that time decisions were made collectively.
The West is pursuing a “hard line” against Russia because it considers unpredictable not Mr. Trump, but Putin, who likes to make decisions alone, without protocols, without extra witnesses and in special chambers. If during the Cold War, the United States and Western Europe learned to conduct diplomacy with the Russians, then under Putin this skill somehow resolved itself.
The “hard” line, from which the United States will not retreat, is explained by the fact that Western experts and politicians, including the militarist Trump, have no doubt: for the next six years, the Tsar will rule Russia again. Obviously, he will next appoint a successor - after all, this is the custom of the current kings.
With such an unpleasant Russian behavior, Washington remains only a monotonous harsh reaction. And this means that the United States and the European Union do not have an exact, appropriate strategy for contemporary Russia. This can be proved by the fact that Trump with respect to Russia as a whole is copying Obama’s policy - the policy of endless sanctions, conflict diplomacy and the armament of Europe. Scolding and calling Obama and members of his team, Trump does exactly the same thing in foreign policy.

Some kind of mess in the head of the bourgeoisie. If the country is a parliamentary republic, then decisions are made collectively, and the prime minister expresses them, especially in the case of a coalition of different parties. If there is a presidential form of government, then the decisions are made by the president individually, as he is supposed to. And how these decisions are prepared, with whom they are discussed - it is already the tenth matter.

Yes, Russia and Putin seem to have got the Anglo-Saxons. In 90, not every American could tell where Russia is. Now they can’t live without a day.
Who is not fat, the criminal
Donald Trump decided it was time to increase the number of soldiers in his native army. Meanwhile, the Americans decided to ramp up their bellies. Now there is no one to go to the army: everyone is too fat.
For the next five years, the US authorities have planned an increase in the number of armed forces. Trump's plan, as always, is far from reality: there is almost no one to recruit for service. This was told by Brian Bander in the “Politico” edition.
The White House will soon realize that Trump's plans are something that does not correspond to reality in the least. Around 3 / 4 Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 years are not suitable for military service. And the first reason why a young man is not suitable for recruits is obesity. Many interfere and criminal past. In short, who is not fat is the culprit!
Specialists in the United States beat the alarm: the number of overweight young Americans is breaking records. Before that, everything is bad, that the army even proposes to lower the "standards" for recruits. But what to say: there are already proposals to take into the army young people with a criminal past!
It seems that the Pentagon does not even understand that, by recruiting young gangsters and fat men into the army, it creates future problems for its own safety. More precisely, for national security. Who can vouch for such a soldier? What will the army become if it begins to fill up the dregs of society? What will the armed forces become if their leadership distributes rifles and machine guns to criminals?
