Results of the week. "King, very nice, king!"
After the announcement of the results of the presidential election (at that time preliminary), a considerable number of citizens had a question: if the level of trust in the president is more than three quarters of the number of those who came to the polling stations, how would Vladimir Putin use this incredibly high level of trust?
Preliminary data on the results of the presidential elections in Russia
Appeal of Vladimir Putin to the citizens of Russia
Elections held. Sensations did not happen. The current president received an absolute majority of votes, and with a personal record for himself: more than 76,6%. After the CEC announced the election results, Vladimir Putin turned to the Russians, including those who voted for other candidates. The key idea in the appeal: you can share according to political views, but when it comes to the development of the country, then this development cannot be achieved without consolidation. At the same time, the elected president stressed that he was ready to take responsibility.
On the First Channel, after the address of Vladimir Putin to the Russians, they decided to publish a collage in which Putin ranks with Churchill, Roosevelt and de Gaulle, and the comment “Leader of the Nation”.

And I have to go to fulfill my support for our president: it’s time to work, despite the fact that I am a pensioner. Maybe it is time for you to prove your case by deed, and not by criticizing Putin on the site?

But, there would be an opportunity — I would vote twice for Putin.
BB is the best thing that has happened to Russia in 20 years. (My personal opinion).
I have such a suspicion that if it were not for Putin, Russia would now be torn to pieces by the chorus all the posts led by the striped hegemon.
For starters?
Literally the next day after the statement by the former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, who now heads the Center for Strategic Research, about the presence of a “window of opportunity” for the new Russian government, materials appeared in the media about allegedly considering the increase in income tax.
Interesting practice recently. In the liberal media, a “zatravochka” appears, saying that this and that government official (the current, if not the former, more often “unnamed”) suggests this
If the discussion goes mainly without swearing, then the head of state seems to have a reason to support. This practice.

And what's the point? We have good repair and modern equipment in hospitals and clinics in the city, and doctors ... qualifications, to say the least, are low. Descriptive descriptions cannot give, since they studied poorly. Those who are worthy, work in off-budget institutions. And the ads are hanging in the city, where your medical institute and school - therapists are needed, etc., they are simply incomplete. I consider the increase from all personal income tax wrong, but progressive taxation is logical!

Top-secret system EW "Suslik"
The Ukrainian military discovered an “incomprehensible device” on the territory of Donbass, similar to the new part of the electronic warfare system (EW).
And why only President Putin showed footage with the latest Russian military-technical developments. After all, there is Ukraine, which itself can prepare material on the breakthrough of the Russian Federation in military-technical terms. One of these materials was recently released: a super-secret Russian experimental combat model "Gopher" (even if you don't see it, as you know, it exists), which catches Ukrainian Drones and robs them of their sight. Experts say that after the attack from the Russian complex, masquerading as a shed that was destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian drone begins an involuntary execution of the march “From the taiga to the British seas, the Red Army is the strongest of all”, infecting Ukrainian operators via radio channels.

Second walk for Nadi
During the week, the former “Putin prisoner” ended up in the dungeons of the SBU, where she managed to complain about what is worse than in Russia. Cameras, he says, have ponastavili everywhere - you can’t calmly go to the toilet.
The second season of the series “Nadia and the best moments of dry hunger strikes” begins.
The Shevchenko court, guided by what Lutsenko personally saw in Savchenko’s bag the grenades of the Azerbaijani Early Matters, decided to send the Nadia of Ukraine behind bars for two months, with an eye on the final life sentence. At the same time, the Shevchenko court apparently forgotten (well, or this is the Kremlin’s secret plan - as usual ...) that if a Ukrainian politician finds himself in a Ukrainian prison, then he may turn out to be the person with the highest political rating in the country. Let for a while, until the next Maidan, but still ...
In general, Nadia will still show herself. Or is it a “Novice” case? ..

"Black Eagle" is ready to remind myself?
The Russian tank Object 640 "Black Eagle" has long been considered a promising development, but it is still of interest to military experts.
Military experts may be interested in anything, including the Black Eagle. The main question is whether he is interested in the Ministry of Defense and, if he is suddenly interested in, whether it will allow him to meet the defense budget in the medium-term perspective. All other conversations on this topic are interesting, but so far nothing more than conversations.

"Boomerang" went
The new generation armored personnel carrier based on the unified wheeled armored platform "Boomerang" will be radically different from the current vehicles of this type.
If you went to the test, it is already a plus. If these tests pass and turn out to be in the series, then it is generally wonderful, especially since sometime this should happen. The main thing is to run the equipment in such a way that, as a result, it serves not according to the principle “modified by a file to a red date”, but taking into account all the basic requirements, including the requirements from those who will directly use it.

2. Is there an electric station BM? There is. Familiar and this in the West.
3. Are there any ARMs? Yes, workstations are available.
4. The same as circular video surveillance systems.
5. Is there a power quick-change block? Yes, the Germans were among the first to practice this, to combine the engine with the box and related systems into a single module.
6. Is the ramp there? Yes, there is.
7. It is ridiculous to talk about communications and topographic interfaces. And there is packet data, and GPS, and much more. In the West, cars are now generally considered not as separate combat units, but as part of a common system (inclusion in a single information and control field)
8. KAZ and other active protection systems are there? There is, and KAZ, and KOEP, and SDR.
9. Protection against explosion - also available. Moreover, as I have already mentioned, in the field of MRAP we not only were not the first, but also do not occupy leading positions.
What is left? What other features? Everything?

The difficult process of de-distillation
Groisman:
“$ 2,5 billion Gazprom owes Ukraine by the decision of the Stockholm arbitration, and almost six billion more by the suit of the antimonopoly committee of Ukraine. They do not want to do this, but where will they go ... ”
Ukraine has arrested all the assets of Gazprom on its territory
The Ukrainian government has one program. It is called "Credit". If they do not give loans, then they are looking for opportunities to privatize what is badly lying. Against the background of arrests of “aggressive” assets, they continue to knock on pots on the heads of their citizens, so that they suddenly do not realize the main thing: rob them. Although with the rating of the same Groysman at the level of 4-5%, it is quite clear that the vast majority of Ukrainians took off the saucepans and were trying to defend the hydration from the blows of revolutionaries. Another question is, how long will such decastrilization by Ukrainians themselves continue?

Currently, the defense ministry and the defense industry are implementing several modernization projects for armored vehicles in service. Among other things, repairs and upgrades are the tanks of the main models. In the near future, ground forces will be able to receive regular upgraded tanks, rebuilt in accordance with one of the newest projects. To enhance armored formations, it is proposed to use improved T-80BVM type combat vehicles.
The problem is that the marines can be equipped with the most modern "armor", but only there is a problem. Delivered to the site by the use of marines mentioned tanks on what will? In this case, any reason for hats and caps sentiment is completely absent due to the fact that the maritime transport component, which could serve as a base for transporting and landing heavy armored vehicles, is by no means in a leading position.

Smart people understand that the main resource and the way to achieve excellence is not the perfection of technology, but the perfection of the methods and methods of its application. Simply put, the effectiveness of the application is rather the right organization, a week of good equipment. In this regard, the main question is: “Can I better change the training program for motorized riflemen and tankmen, using the military regulations of Uncle Vasya’s troops and black berets as a basis, rather than trying to get a mixture of hedgehog, already forming some tank battalions in the airborne troops and the MP?

Bang Syria: New American Plan
The Russian General Staff said that there are signs that the United States is preparing to strike at Syria. “We note the presence of signs of preparation for possible strikes,” said Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoy, Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, last Saturday. “In the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, shock groups of sea carriers of cruise missiles were created,” the general added.
The United States claims to "Khushamsky pocket" and to the south of Syria, says columnist E. Damantsov. In his opinion, the aggressive rhetoric against Russia associated with poisoning in Salisbury, aims to present Moscow as a chemical weapons operator violating the UN convention, and to accuse the Russian side of indulging in the use of chemical weapons weapons Syrian Arab Army in Eastern Gute. The Pentagon is simply acquiring an argument in favor of conducting a military operation against the Syrian army, in which it is supported by the defense departments of both Great Britain and France.
A new clash at the Euphrates made A-50U act. US claims to "Hushamsky pocket" and the south of Syria
Ankara warned in the language of "Point" and "Gradov"
It is obvious that the West, headed by the United States, decided to present Russia with a number of military and diplomatic tests, which should result in undermining the image of the state in the global information space, shifting from former positions in the international geopolitical arena, as well as depriving people of influence on one or another military theater. action.

Is the degree decreasing?
The extremely high degree of confrontational rhetoric in relations between Russia and the United States does not at all indicate the fatal proximity of a direct military clash between two nuclear superpowers, according to J. Selivanov. Indeed, at present neither in the Mediterranean Sea, nor on the approaches to it there is a single carrier-based strike group of the US Navy. Moreover, as of 14 in March 2018, in the World Ocean, according to Stratfor, there are only two AUGs, led by the aircraft carriers Karl Vinson and Theodore Roosevelt. Of these, only one, “Roosevelt,” is deployed in the Gulf region, from where his planes can in principle reach Damascus. Unless, of course, the Russian C-400 allows them to do it ...
As for the current surge of extreme confrontational rhetoric in relations between the West and the Russian Federation, it should be understood as an attempt by certain Western circles to organize massive psychological pressure on Russia. And if we consider that the elections in the Russian Federation are already behind, then in the near future we can expect some reduction in the intensity of verbal confrontation due to the loss of its relevance. In particular, this is indicated by the beginning of a decline in activity in another component of the West’s comprehensive plan to increase pre-election pressure on Russia - in the case of Skripal poisoning.
All this, of course, does not mean the abolition of the confrontation between Russia and the West. But at the same time, it may indicate a systematic folding by the western side of the next special operation timed to coincide with the presidential elections in Russia.

So you can not relax in any case and, hoping for the best, we must continue to prepare for the worst.
To save the sobriety of mind!
The Russian authorities responded to the statement of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the poisoning of Skripale in Salisbury. Recall, Ms. Merkel, during her conversation with the Polish government’s chairman Mateusz Moravecki in Warsaw, agreed to the point that she said that Russia needed to provide “evidence of non-participation in the poisoning” of the spy and his daughter.
A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, noted that the German Federal Chancellor seems to have forgotten about the existence of a fundamental legal norm - the presumption of innocence. “Let's somehow preserve the sobriety of mind and still, first of all, expect evidence from the UK that the statements made from London at the highest and highest level have at least something real,” he said. “The basic understanding of law, probably, speaks first of all about this necessity.”
Kremlin’s response to Merkel’s demands on the Russian Federation to prove non-involvement in Skripale poisoning
Regarding the Russian reaction to the London expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats, the Russian Foreign Ministry earlier reported on taking retaliatory measures. Persona non grata are announced and sent out of the country within a week of 23 diplomatic staff of the British Embassy in Moscow. In addition, due to the unresolved status of the British Council in the Russian Federation, the activity of the latter is terminated. The consent of the Russian Federation to the opening and operation of the British Consulate General in St. Petersburg is also being recalled.
By the way, the British did not disclose any evidence in the Skrypal case. No, it is clear evidence! And sobriety of mind in addition is not enough.

All this is a staging of London with the aim of provocation against Russia! And also to divert the British from the monetary problems of Britain due to its withdrawal from the EU, as well as from the problems with the dominance of the white indigenous population of Britain from migrants from the SA.
It is noteworthy that Skrypal’s daughter was in dire need of money in the Russian Federation in connection with the improvement of housing conditions: the purchase of a new apartment in terms of millions of rubles. So she came to her father in Britain to make money on her father's ties with MI-6.
Thus, by agreement with the Violinists themselves, MI-6 turned this provocative operation allegedly with their poisoning by “Novice” in Britain against the Russian Federation.
In doing so, Theresa May and Boris Johnson are direct accomplices of this conspiracy.

Before you understand who has poisoned you, you need to think about a simple thing: WHO WAS what poisoned.
Something tells me that this is not the last poisoning of Soviet gas 70-s production, we have 40 for years as not produced.
"Avengers" short-range
The US Department of Defense sent the first batch of self-propelled short-range anti-aircraft missile systems Avenger AN / TWQ-1 (Avenger) to Europe, Warspot reports, quoting armyrecognition.com.
Recall, the Avenger AN / TWQ-1 air defense systems were developed as early as 1980's and represent the HMMWV army SUV in the pick-up version, in the back of which is located a turntable with a mounted anti-aircraft missile system consisting of two launchers, totaling eight FIM-92 Stinger missiles. To modernize the complexes in 2017, the US Army successfully tested a new version of Stinger MANPADS with a contactless fuse.
The European command of the American army EUCOM requested 72 "Avenger". The first batch in the number of 36 machines has already gone to Europe, and the second completes the re-entry and modernization.

Maximum / average speed: 750 / 700 m / s (2,2 / 2,06 M).
Helicopters will be able to shoot down, attack aircraft "gaping" or descending below 4000 meters.

On you, dear, that we do not need! USA in its repertoire: recycling was successful.
Will Washington give Moscow a laser response?
In the United States, they planned to begin testing this summer of an aviation-based combat laser system. It is reported that the F-15 fighters will be primarily equipped with a combat laser system. It is known that the contract for the creation of combat lasers for US Air Force aircraft was signed with Lockheed Martin last year. The name of the program implemented by the company: “Demonstration sample of a high-energy laser for defense” (SHiELD).
It is curious that military experts in the United States express doubts: is it necessary for the Air Force to use a combat laser? After all, it is possible to destroy drones with available weapons.
In addition, doubts are expressed that in flight the F-15 laser beam can achieve a high level of focus, which is necessary for the destruction of the air target.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke during a message to the Federal Assembly about the creation of a ground-based combat laser in Russia.

That's really what we can not blame our overseas "probable friends", so it is that they do not draw conclusions and do not work for the future. If we had such a system on our "Rook", we might not have had to say goodbye to another hero.
I never treat their developments with disdain: even if the project does not fire, then at least the technological base will be accumulated, and they will gain invaluable experience. At what price, it’s not my purse (this is about Zumvolt and Ford), they have a machine. For me, so let them retract, let them swallow on the tonsils.
“Malicious influence” of Russians will be pumped through the “Nord Stream 2”
The Washington Examiner reports that a group of senators from both parties in the United States demanded that the Trump administration block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. A message from parliamentarians to Finance Minister Stephen Mnuchin and Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan states the following: “We are concerned that the development of the project for the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline continues. We oppose the Nord Stream 2 and insist that the administration (President Donald Trump) use all the means at its disposal to prevent the construction of this pipeline. ”
What reason did the American senators (and not the German, for example, politicians, whom the project directly concern), propose to protest against the Nord Stream 2?
It turns out that the senators are convinced that in the case of the implementation of the project “the American allies and partners in Europe will be under even more malicious influence from Russia”.
Obviously, the “malicious influence” of the Russians will pump directly through the pipes of the “Nord Stream 2”, and at the output the Germans and Austrians will be saturated with “influence” from head to toe.
As a result of Russian gas propaganda, Europe will turn its back on America.

India does not need airplanes
Recently, an Indian military article published in the Indian media stating that India has no sense in concluding a contract with the United States for the purchase of F-35 fighter jets for the reason that India has no ammunition or service system for these aircraft (for example, air tankers). It was also noted that the software of all systems of this aircraft after the implementation of the F-35 in India will still be under American control.
Now in the Hindustan Times, an article has been published by Rahula Singh, who claims that the Indian Air Force is "not suitable" and the joint development of the fifth generation fighter (FGFA) with Russia. This is a joint work of the Russian company Sukhoi with Indian colleagues from Hindustan Aeronautics. This job pretty much slips.
Recall, today the amount of the Russian-Indian contract under the FGFA program has decreased to 4 billion dollars. If in New Delhi they seriously believe that this is an incredibly large amount of money to create the newest aircraft (5 generation), then I would like to clarify: are they aware of how much the F-35 program costs the United States and their “partners”? The amount there is an order of magnitude greater than that which appears in the Russian-Indian project.
All these Indian daisies on the daisy about whether they need a joint project with Russia or not, and whether they need F-35, are similar to India’s typical bargaining system. New Delhi has one goal: for one and a half rupees of investment, to get the newest fighter, “having no analogues in the world,” and with full transfer of production technologies.

Free package for 49 millions
Providing Ukraine with a US package of gratuitous military assistance worth more than 49 million has sparked controversy about a further change in the tactical situation in the Donbas theater of operations. In the hands of the “Square” regime, notes E. Damantsev, not a batch of outdated TOW-2A ATGM, but thirty-six ATGM of the 3 generation “Javelin” and 210 of the anti-tank guided missiles FGM-148 to them.
Some people like to underestimate the tactical and technical characteristics and advantages of the “Javelin” complex on the battlefield, or even to declare the complete absence of any positive tactical effect from the use of “Darts” in the specified theater of operations. In practice, everything will be completely different, says the same Damantsy.
The fact is that even the 4 or 5 launchers of the Javelin anti-tank complex and a couple of dozen FGM-148 missiles are able to give Ukrainian military units a serious tactical advantage in the operational direction, whose terrain is replete with a large number of folds, nearby lowlands and elevations, and forest plantings.
