This means that people who are in more comfortable social welfare do not live up to the established retirement age (there was recently news that one citizen from the State Duma did not live up to retirement, but voted for an increase, another state employee, the head of the regional FIU, went to another world also before my retirement)

[3vs]

And not everyone will be able to survive to retirement age, few can do this by paraphrasing Vitali Klitschko.
Although the security officials have not yet seemed to raise their retirement age.

For senior officers, 65 years old !!!

This is the retirement deadline.

This information is both interesting and useful for everyone and especially for those who serve in this department.
I congratulate all servicemen on the return of the historic and so pleasant to the ear "GRU" instead of the deaf, stupid and offensive "GU". I wish the GRU success in planning and carrying out its daily activities, and good health and long life to the servants.

[Finches]

It is unlikely that for those who serve in this department, this information became news .... And about the return of the historical name .... That's right, but you know what interests me the most - when the GRU did special reprimands I don’t remember something But this is a solid organization not only in the Moscow Region, but also in the structure of the state! Even with us, the signalmen, the generals were protesting against reforms leaving their posts .... Maybe I don’t know everything, of course! The sovereign’s service is such and in Moscow the floor is slippery ... In any case, I support your wishes!

The servants here are simple - the order is, it means it must be executed, even if you do not like it. Another thing is for what purpose this was done and why. It reminds me of the renaming of the traffic police in the traffic police and the police in the police. There are no intelligible answers and explanations, but there is only bullshit from high-ranking officials and the suspicion of the majority of the population that at the rename companies someone at the top is very well enriched.

SVR, they walk in jackets from Versachi, somewhere in the West or in the East, and they took out the pogroms from the Ukrainian messenger with orders, well, they broke someone in the teeth ...

[RoTTor]

What kind of enemy propaganda ??? - ".Capture of Tauris ...
They reacted to the popular will to return the native Russian land to Russia.
At the same time, they did not respond to a similar statement by the people of New Russia, they stopped the advance of the militias of New Russia, preventing them from returning their administrative borders and the entire coast of the Sea of ​​Azov.
Now we disentangle both with Abkhazia and Ossetia = this is how they climbed into Abu, took off their trousers and forgot why they started everything.
There would still be no more sanctions, but the case would have been surrendered, and not as it is now ...

Quote: RoTTor

To rephrase, the capture of Tauris by popular expression. If we are embarrassed by the words seizure, we will diminish the significance of our military, who acted brilliantly. And the fact that the ukrovoks did not even give a hoot is the pinnacle of military art. There are a number of problems in the Donbass, firstly, we do not know political secrets, and Putin knew something that we do not know. We also had to drastically take control of the Syrian shelf, we had to get ahead of NATO, we just got ahead of them, and only then cleansing the barmalei. The situation was extremely serious squadrons were facing each other, Putin proposed to destroy the chemical weapons and the collapsed Obama retreated with a proud head. There were no units on the border with Ukraine; now a decent grouping of the RF Armed Forces has been deployed. LDNR did not have an offensive potential and could fall into boilers themselves, and the NATO army could enter the territory of Ukraine at the request of Turchinov and others. We do not forget that Syria and Donbass are two fronts of the Great Gas War. And the Americans didn’t get the Donbass oil shale (although Biden personally already took everything for himself and Obama himself apparently had a share), they didn’t get the Syrian field either, like the pipe that would not be Arabian. There was a Turkish and SP-2 on the way. And what has been done or not done, believe me, it was necessary and nothing else.

Do you know what exactly happened there? Have you seen with your own eyes?

Have you seen? I participated in this matter directly and the person speaks business. True, those involved were subsequently punished, but nevertheless, such a mess and in gru is nonsense.

He graduated from the Stavropol Higher Military Aviation School for Air Defense Pilots and Navigators and the Military Academy of the Soviet Army (later renamed the Military Diplomatic Academy and the Military Academy of the Ministry of Defense), as well as the General Staff Academy.

He served in military intelligence since 1985.

Right now, probably no problem? Then there is a certain blat, of course. And this is wrong. It is necessary to return to the sources, and they are at the GRU - Soviet and rather tough. But then the GRU was especially successful.
As for the orphanages, then at one time they practiced, but at the level of the troops. Did not impress. They refused.

Blat is when your dad "works" as a resident, for example. Previously, employees' children were not taken at all. And if the senior midshipman served in the GRU, he also had no chance. Spetsnaz / MCI does not count.

[Sleeping]

And recently, everything here has faded that in Ukraine a former tanker now heads the Ukrainian Navy

[StudentVK]

You're not right! Read the article carefully, otherwise you heard a ring and don’t know where it is. A pretzel from Ukraine. After graduating from military school that I graduated ????? And in addition to your information, Navy officers often led intelligence in different countries of the world (for example, in the UK, a doshikhpor becomes a naval officer, even in Nazi Germany, Admiral Canaris, in the United States more than once Navy officers became heads of intelligence.)

[rruvim]

Canaris practically ruined intelligence. As a result, he had to "attribute" him to the putsch against Furrer. Or do you disagree (about the failure of intelligence and the delivery of passwords)?

[StudentVK]

You and I disrespectfully speak of an adversary about Nazi Germany, which is tantamount to saying that the German Wehrmacht was weak and insignificant since they lost the Red Army’s war and how did they sausage Europe? France for how much did they take? What about Poland? And returning to Admiral Canaris, you read a chronicle of Soviet counterintelligence and in general watched documentaries regarding the SUPER SUCCESSFUL work of German intelligence behind enemy lines, first in Europe and then with us. The Brandenburg battalion is what we have been told more than once, and this is one of the most successful examples of work in the initial period of the intelligence war led by Canaris. And most importantly, returning to our questions, our Kostyukov received additional education besides his basic education (military-diplomatic academy: considered an ophthalmic blacksmith for GRU officers) and look at how they say things, including not what color the uniform is.

[rruvim]

I absolutely agree with you. But Canaris lost in the information. As a scout for sure. He did not understand what the Allied forces were against Rommel (by the way, this was the paramount task of the SD), he did not dissuade Goering from crazy attacks on England, he did not cover Dönitz boats (they received incorrect coordinates). In the end, he ended up in the party ... But it’s clear in which (though, how Rommel lied to him). And the war was in full swing!

I agree that its add. education considers his appointment to this Office. And there is no chronicle of Soviet counterintelligence. There is a lot of rubbish. Sorry, innocent citizens ... There are Archives, but not complete. For example: there is an archive on Rokossovsky that he is a Polish spy, and there is an archive on Pavlova that he had three women. Nobody will let them be published ... And there were a lot of them on ordinary people. Some were burnt, some were "buried" ...

I mean the same ! If I received further education at the naval academy, one could understand somehow, but in a dumb way ?????

[rruvim]

After Korobov "prokokal" several operations (including Skripals), the appointment of Kostyukov to the post of head of the GRU is quite understandable. His "operations" in Syria were "flawless", except for HimAtaka in Aleppo. Over time, they will remind ...

[Andrey VOV]

Aleppo and creaked ... and where does the GRU ????

[rruvim]

And that two "clowns" were not listed as officers of the GRU? A provocation in Aleppo, with edited footage from "White Helmets" could receive and publish in RT an hour before BBC and CNN, with other comments.

[RoTTor]

Have you tried to include your head?
I.V. Korobova was promoted to the rank of Colonel General, and was awarded the Star of the Hero of Russia - and all recently.

Korobov, as the chief GRU-k, was responsible for "a lot". He was full of health. Doctors-killers from all sorts of Kremlin hospitals, around, were fussing like flies, and then - only for prevention.. So I was healthy. And then a sudden death at the age of 62 years. Not funny....

We all do not understand, because we don’t know why he is better / worse than other deputies of the past boss. Can we know that?

Glad for the Navy-worthy man !!!

First of all, it’s necessary to get rid of the GRU from the GRU and recruit from orphanages ...

Judge from your own experience? With a friend, the son entered the VDA with his father in the rank of senior midshipman. Awesome blat? First of all, they take him there for personal and officer qualities, maybe he does it and helps with foreign business trips, but not to the same extent as state. employees ....

Blat is when your dad "works" as a resident, for example. Previously, employees' children were not taken at all. And if the senior midshipman served in the GRU, he also had no chance. Spetsnaz / MCI does not count.

Father served as the senior midshipman all his life on the ships of the BF ....

I.V. Korobova was promoted to the rank of Colonel General, and was awarded the Star of the Hero of Russia - and all recently.

I do not beg for his merits much. Moreover, he was given all of the above rewards by you the day before his sudden death. One thing I can’t understand is why the GRU did not know about the February 24 attack in the Palmyra region, and the current appointed director of the GRU then managed to carry out the operation (return of Palmyra) on March 1 without the participation of the GRU.

In other times, the GRU did not conduct military operations - there is a GOU for this. Continuous haze.
