Results of the week. Russia, conquer America!
On Saturday last week, an attempt was made on the life of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas. The incident occurred during a parade dedicated to the next date of the formation of the National Guard. According to the Minister of Communications and Information of the country, they tried to attack the President DronesHowever, the attempt was unsuccessful: seven servicemen were injured, N. Maduro was not injured.
"Velvet" is replaced by "flannel"
It seems that the color revolution in Venezuela external and internal forces fail. And some have decided to resort to the forceful elimination of an opponent - the legitimately elected President Maduro. However, this attempt failed.
Responsibility for the assassination attempt was claimed by one of the Venezuelan opposition groups, the Flannel Soldiers. In a statement "flannel" in "Twitter" says that the head of state was supposed to kill with the help of two unmanned aerial vehicles C4, which were loaded with explosives.

Only the Dutch are able to extract it, and it is possible to process it only at plants in Texas, and nowhere else.
Revolutionary Chavez Dutch expelled, and everything stopped. Maduro continues the revolution until half the population dies out (or he himself is slapped).
Bridgehead from scratch
From the first days of June 2018, an extraordinary situation is observed in the desert regions of the eastern part of Essaouida province and the western part of the Damascus governorate. Unexpectedly, a rather impressive tactical “boiler” of the IG (ISIS, prohibited in the Russian Federation) with a length of 31 km and a width of 9,7 km was formed in the region.
Remarkably, this bridgehead appeared in the deep rear of the Syrian government troops almost from scratch, while the IS “sleeping cauldron”, located in the desert of Homs and Deir ez-Zor, is ten times larger in those regions since clearing the bed of the Euphrates and breaking through the “corridor” between Abu Kemal and Deir-ez-Zor 5 December 2017 of the year.
What can be done? As analyst E. Damantsev notes, the strategic reconnaissance aircraft Tu-214Р are designed precisely for this kind of tasks. The radars of the MRK-411 complex are able to detect groups of pickups of militants at a distance of 150 — 200 km, after which the T-214Р’s operator terminals are given either direct targeting to crews of Su-34 airborne, or coordinates of targets sent to the operational headquarters of the VKS command for coordination, after what is the decision about the means for the destruction of data purposes. However, the reason for the absence in the Syrian theater of operations Tu-214Р is unknown. The last time the second aircraft Tu-214Р with a tail number RF-64514 was seen over Syria in the summer of 2016, after which the flights stopped ...

Who determines the fate of the Middle East?
Events in the south of Syria in recent weeks show the limits of Israel’s military and political abilities. In fact, Syrian government troops returned to the border of southern Syria after a five-year absence there, and this changed the strategic alignment in the region. As long as neither Iran nor Israel are fully prepared for a mutual war, and Damascus agrees a priori with both Moscow and Tehran, the position of the Russian Foreign Ministry and our president personally will be decisive in the fate of the Middle East, the observer is convinced.

A scandal broke out in the Israeli army. Is it because of racism?
Without a well-coordinated military engagement with the Russian military grouping in Syria, the Israel Defense Forces cannot provide an adequate level of security for the northern regions of their state.

To aircraft carriers will pick up the submarine
Looking at the current status of the update fleet new surface ships, as well as missile weapon systems, it can be noted that the surface component of the Russian Navy has an extremely serious drawback in performing combat operations in the far sea zone, where there is the possibility of support from the sea aviation much less significant in view of the fact that the numerically superior US Navy has the ability to create over the ocean expanses a large number of anti-aircraft exclusion zones and restrict access and the A2 / AD maneuver, analyst E. Damantsev believes.
If we talk about the possibility of a retaliatory strike by our only AUG and several naval strike groups on the US AUG, then only the modern underwater component in the form of low-noise multipurpose nuclear submarines 885M Yasen-M (planned a series of six submarines), pr 949AM "Antey" (submarines will receive universal launchers on 72 missiles "Onyx"), as well as the project 971 "Pike-B". They will definitely be able to get close to enemy aircraft carriers to the effective Onyx fire range, and possibly torpedo armament.

The most ridiculous thing the author had was about the fighting of AUG on AUG ... Already this is the Russian Navy does not shine the next 4-5 years: Kuzma in repair and modernization. Yes, and even the Soviet doctrine did not provide for such a fuss. For the American AUG, there was always an outfit of nuclear submarines and naval missile-carrying aircraft. Yes, and our fleet will operate in the foreseeable future, based on the shore, based on the base (the same Hmeymim and future in Africa). And to cover his actions will not be the ancient Su-33, but quite the brutal Su-35 and Su-30, which the F-18 as a jackal to a wolfhound. And how many of them can be in one raid? Not in shock, but as a cover?
Here is my fellow countryman from Chelyabinsk over the past few years, quite skillfully described how many AUGs can launch one AUG at maximum range (the speed of the start-up catapult and the waiting time in the previous zone ... and if you also launch tankers ...), refer to his publications, and let you.
And Russia will have its aircraft carriers in twenty years, and then we will talk about possible lists. In the next five years, only corvettes and frigates will lay down - this is a good, flexible tool for tasks in the near and far sea zone. And yes, we will rejoice at the MRC, which is at least a small beast, but the tooth does not exist. We will also rejoice at the new and modernized NPS, DPL, naval aviation and the atomic missile cruiser, which is already on the way.
And with the AUG, one “Pot” with full volley will be able to rip if “Onyxes”, especially if at least a couple of them will be in a special version.
Cynic
States needed a planetary scale DUBINA, he got it. Russia is why?
By the way, AUG can be neutralized in a less expensive way. It was not just a saying that the military was preparing for the old wars ...
During the Second World War and after the AUG reigned, who said that in the next world it will happen again? For now, everything goes to the fact that AUG is just a GOAL.
He did not write to the newspaper
The Russian Defense Ministry expressed disappointment with the American side, unable to maintain confidentiality by agreement of both parties, the Russian military said in a statement, and also confirmed that the head of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, sent a letter through a confidential channel to his American counterpart Joseph Dunford.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: Disappointed with the inability of the United States to "keep its mouth shut"
Surprising thing: it turned out that V. Gerasimov wrote a letter to some of the New York Times. For the widest public. In the spirit of complete freedom of speech. No doubt Edward Snowden would welcome such an initiative.
In essence, the publicity of the document showed one thing: the Americans almost never think about Russian policy anywhere. And it does not matter what results Russia has achieved. Syria is one example of the newest storieswhere the US continues to pursue its interests, and the Russian forces are something of a hindrance. Mr Assad is far from a happy future, and the people in Washington will do everything to darken the future. There is already rehearsing a new "wow". That is why Americans are not interested in any cooperation in Syria.

The Kremlin decided to fight the sea
Navy Day spawned in the West such an amount of hooting that you wonder. It’s as if an atomic aircraft carrier with a gravitapa descended from our stocks. They hooked on Putin’s speech at the festival, namely, this phrase: “In the 2018, the Russian fleet will receive a total of 26 new ships.”
“In absolute numbers, the Russian navy is growing faster than the American and Chinese,” say Western experts. And they conclude: “Putin is preparing for a war at sea, but this war may turn out to be completely different from what the United States expects.”
Once in the Kremlin called a certain number, the war is inevitable. Once Putin said about the ships, it means that this war will take place at sea. On water or under water. Logic experts will not refuse!
And these experts, who voiced their opinions through The Daily Beast, examined our fleet through a magnifying glass and made another conclusion: the Russian fleet is best suited for aggressive policies near the borders of Russia!
What is it, a fat hint at the features of national geography?
Apparently, the Russians will go to war with polar bears, seals of the Sea of Okhotsk ... Oh, yes, with the Japanese fleet, from which other citizens of the Land of the Rising Sun eagerly look at the "northern territories"! However, there is Ukraine with its piracy burden. But after all, both in Kiev and in Washington, they had no doubt that forty thousand Russians had invaded the Ukrainian steppes for a long time and overland and were standing in a stealth camp near Kiev. Why some kind of sea war?
One thing is clear: Americans can sleep peacefully. The Russian fleet in question, America is not terrible.

Underwater without crew
According to various sources, at present the Russian defense industry is creating several projects of special underwater equipment designed to solve various combat missions. These developments naturally attract the attention of foreign experts and lead to the emergence of analytical materials. Their authors are trying to collect available information and make possible predictions. A few days ago, the well-known researcher Kh.M. published his vision of the Russian project with the code Cephalopod. Sutton. A new article has appeared on Sutton's Covert Shores website with the headline “Russian 'Cephalopod' Armed Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) program”: “The Russian development program for the armed autonomous crewless submarine Cephalopod.” It contains the currently available data on the most interesting Russian project.
According to known data, part of Cephalopod's research work was to be completed by the summer of 2018. If so, then in the coming years, the industry will be engaged in the construction and testing of prototypes. Based on their results, a decision will be made on the future fate of the project. Upon receiving positive customer feedback, serial, unmanned submarines will be able to enter the troops by the middle of the next decade. Perhaps then the public will learn much more about Cefalopoda. No details yet.

What about "Varshavyanok". If they had a nuclear reactor, they would have to put up a huge and heavy defense, which will further increase the dimensions of the boat, and will have to design everything all over again! In addition, the Montreux Convention prohibits the passage of ships with nuclear PP through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. And thus, the Black Sea Fleet would be left without a submarine !!!
Therefore, before giving such "comments", it is better to think first !!!
Forward to the past!
In recent years, it has been repeatedly reported about the imminent resurgence of the domestic direction of the WIG. It was argued that in the coming years there may appear several new types of such equipment, designed to solve various problems. Together with other samples, a new combat ekranoplan may appear, armed with missiles of one type or another. It is supposed to be used to protect the maritime borders of the country, including in remote areas. On the existence of the next domestic project of an airplane has become known 30 July. The vice-premier Yury Borisov, responsible for the military-industrial complex, told the press about him. According to Yu. Borisov, the project has a working designation “Orlan”.
What is this? Another breakthrough in the past?
Recall, a few decades ago, in the USSR, a combat ekranoplan was created with rocket armament. The sample was called "Lun". It may well be that the "newest" project "Orlan" will be to some extent similar to its predecessor. The main differences will be associated only with the use of modern technology. For example, it is possible that a different arrangement of units and the use of smaller missiles can reduce the size and take-off weight of the machine.

Ekranoplans have only a small advantage in lifting force in a very narrow range of flight conditions, while losing in all other respects to ordinary aircraft.

Whether the project, or fake
The ambiguous story began on the morning of August 8, when the RBC Internet publication published data on the existence of another promising project. According to an unnamed publication source in the Ministry of Defense, the research and production corporation Uralvagonzavod is currently developing a new heavy-duty assault robotic complex. Development work assigned the code "Sturm".
On the same day, Alexey Khlopotov, a specialist in the field of armored vehicles, known as Gur Khan, answered promising messages from RBC. In his blog, he criticized the publication of the Sturm development work in harsh terms, and also urged journalists to stop "feeding the people with fakes."
Experts came to objective and fair conclusions, which, however, are not particularly optimistic. R & D "Storm" and other studies have shown a very limited potential of robotic complexes created on the basis of modern technologies and the available element base. The further development of the Sturm ideas does not make sense, at least now or in the coming years. Promising R & D has not become a promising OCD, and industry and science have taken up the study of other issues ...

Hunting with eyes closed
Fighting fifth-generation F-22 and F-35 fighters in the sky is like hunting with closed eyes, writes The National Interest magazine. And if the F-22 and without stealth technology surpasses any Russian fighter, then the F-35, even losing in speed, defeats the enemy thanks to its radar, the material says. The author himself visited a training battle in which the unobtrusive F-22 and F-35, on the one hand, and F-15 and training aircraft T-38A Talon, depicting MiG-29 fighters, on the other, came together. Having flown deeply and having conquered the sky, the “pilot” admitted that a radar with an active phased array gives a big advantage to the pilot.
By the way, the journalist “flew” as “Vodka-3”. What a call sign means, hardly anyone needs to explain. However, it is not known for certain what the three mean: the number of drunk stacks or bottles drunk. In any case, it is clear why the “pilot” closed his eyes.
If in the US, journalists conduct training tests of airplanes, then schoolchildren, winners of gaming competitions, will soon join the ranks of the American warriors ...

Fell and rolled
The US sanctions offensive on Russia continues on all fronts. In this case, the Washington administration does not pay attention to any related difficulties and financial losses. Of course, Russia will continue to assert its sovereign right to economic and political independence. Of course, only to the extent that her own economy and finances allow her!
The state economy is tied, as before, primarily for the export of oil and gas. And Russian finances have long been firmly embedded in the global financial system, despite the “wooden” currency that is shaking and reeling with any crisis, with any sanctions, and with falling oil prices. On Friday for the dollar at the auction they gave more 67 rubles, what happened for the first time in the last 24 of the month. The last time the ruble fell against the dollar in 2016 year, and also in August. This is not surprising: August has long become a “traditional” month for crises and defaults. 17 August, by the way, will hit exactly 20 years on 1998's default of the year.

Russia, conquer America!
6 August US Senator Rand Paul met with the head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Konstantin Kosachev and said that the US is very interested in working with Russia, especially with the legislative bodies with whom they want to establish closer relations.
How good it sounds! Just like in Gorbachev times.
The proposed “cooperation” with the United States would in reality become Russia's selfless and disinterested work solely for the benefit of the United States. With the rejection of their own national interests. As in the days of Gorbachev. Recall that even the Americans did not believe Gorbachev in perestroika: they thought he had started something tricky. But no, real publicity, real democratization, true friendship of nations ...
However, commanders under the stars and stripes do not want to and cannot be friends and cooperate. Their path is to command, command, coerce, punish recalcitrant, obstinate, and, most importantly, independent.
With soft words, Russia is seeking an act of public self-humiliation and absolute submission. As soon as the Russians once again repent, Uncle Sam will show willingness to "cooperate." Perhaps a plan for the discussion in the US Congress on the abolition of 1 / 100 sanctions in the 2024 year.

Well, the Americans are standing and waving handles, well, Duma members got up and patted - simple politeness.
Rather, I wonder how they all together did it in sync: a clear manifestation of the herd instinct. Just like at the CPSU congresses. Nothing, damn it, does not change.
