Russia will withdraw from the Open Skies treaty

Russia will withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty after Europe refuses to give guarantees that the information received will not reach the United States. In the opinion of Russian experts, further participation of Russia in DON does not make sense.

Russia will leave the Open Skies Treaty after the United States, as Europe refused to comply with guarantees of keeping secret information obtained during flights over Russia and not transmitting it to the United States. If it continues to participate in the Open Skies, Washington will somehow receive information about the Russian defense, and Moscow will not be able to receive relevant information about the United States.



It is simply unrealistic to somehow detach the Americans from this information. No guarantees, despite the fact that there is a special clause in the agreement that information is shared only with members of the agreement, does not work ... it's all in favor of the poor

- said the former head of the international treaty department of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Yevgeny Buzhinsky.

According to the Russian media, the decision to withdraw from the Don has already been made and will be announced in the near future. Russian President Vladimir Putin preliminarily consulted with all competent structures, after which he agreed with the decision.

US President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the open skies treaty in May 2020, saying that "the treaty is outdated." On May 22, 2020, the head of the US State Department, Mike Pompeo, announced that the United States would leave the treaty in six months, i.e. November 22. In late November last year, White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien announced that the United States was no longer a party to the Open Skies Treaty.

According to information received by Moscow, the United States, having withdrawn from the treaty, forced the allies to sign an agreement on the transfer of data received by these countries during flights over Russia.

                It is regrettable, but you are practically right! Slowly but surely, the basic foundations of the preservation of the world are crumbling. The US withdrawal from the ABM Treaty, RDSM, the incomprehensible situation with START 3, now also the Open Skies Treaty. I'd like to believe that this All will not lead to a Global War.
                To comply with this treaty of Russia - did not make the slightest sense, the Europeans with a joyful squeal, in any case, would "merge" all the data in the United States (unlike them, which is a Global player). What can I say ... The guarantee of our security - Complete order in the Strategic Missile Forces, Stocks and considerable TNW and the latest developments related to this. Guarantee of complete destruction of all living things in the event of aggression directed against Russia. Sadness, here's a Violent War - well, I definitely don't want to!

                  The Don Treaty is one of the confidence-building measures on strategic offensive arms.
                  If there is no START-3, then there is no DON.
                  But we will wait until the end of February.
                  What if Biden regains consciousness and "rewinds the stuffing" according to START-3?
                  Then an option may appear for the United States to return to the Don. hi

                    For the Cold War, it is just important to demonstrate your strength to the enemy.

                    It doesn't matter anymore, the words of the US public dolls are no longer believed. And this is already obvious to everyone.
                    And they are not the same.
                    And they will no longer be who they were yesterday.
                    This is already a crimson sunset.
                    And you need to think about the post-American-centric world. The world is becoming very unstable and you need to prepare for any development of the situation.
                    And not only with the USA.
                    One predator is replaced by another.
                    And this is much less predictable.
                    It will be better for everyone if Trump emerges victorious from all this mess in the United States.
                    The United States will then no longer be the only superpower, but will be a good balancer against China.
                    They need each other.

                      I made a forwarding: what, everything will calm down soon?
                      The answer was - by no means, everything is just beginning.
                      I don't think Trump will do much there.
                      Yet he is many years old. But he woke America up. New leaders will emerge.
                      And then it's even difficult to imagine what will happen.

                        Yes, shots from the USA are painfully familiar. Either Ukraine in 2014, or Moscow in 1993, but the fact that America woke up is good.
                        Worse, the bloody mess is kindled by the democrats. Mailings are flying on the Internet with calls for "war to the last to the democrats", "all power is antifa", "land to the farmers", "peace to the peoples", "every woman has a man", and every man a rifle ...
                        And it seems that behind this is not only transnational banking and China, but also England, which longs for the "restoration of the British Empire from the British Commonwealth" ... In general, the mess is still the same, and it will be cooked in the United States.
                        And everyone will get the spray.

                  “The United Kingdom is disappointed with Russia's decision to initiate the procedures necessary to withdraw from the Open Skies Treaty after prolonged non-compliance with [its terms]. The Treaty makes a valuable contribution to European security by increasing the transparency of military activities and fostering trust between countries. The United Kingdom calls on Russia to reconsider this decision, to return to full compliance with the treaty and to interact constructively with its other participants, "a ministry representative told TASS.

                  If this were finally the case, then the issue of guarantees from other participants in the "Open Skies" to Russia on the non-transfer of data on Russia to the United States would simply not be on the agenda.
                  This means that in the data of the US satellite constellation regarding Russia on the US withdrawal from the "Open Sky", there is still some information but not enough.

This is, you have to be so "alternatively gifted" in order to think like that ... Vaughn, one of those who, too, "gave a promise" not to expand NATO to the East, sits in Germany, and the other, who was "promised" not to bomb For Yugoslavia (represented by the Serbs) we have set up a "house-palace of memory" and there is another "one" who believes in the "promises", he is still in good health, to whom NATO members, too, promised a "peaceful" solution to the issue in Libya ....

      Russian President Vladimir Putin preliminarily consulted with all competent structures, after which he agreed with the decision

      We consulted for a long time. It was necessary to cover this "hole over Russia" a long time ago, when the United States began to put a spoke in the wheels on our flights over the United States. And even more correct, we did not have to sign this agreement initially. This treaty was a "burp" of the 90s, when all the doors in Russia were opened for the United States. Including in the Kremlin.

        Well, there are options (comrades do not read without humor!):
        1. Obama, after the fiasco of communication with Putin, moved his head and learned to speak with grains of sand. And they all over the planet know everything - a whole neural network;
        2. We urgently need to siphon the topic of toilets. They are everywhere, in every home. At every facility.
        Maybe where the imported ones are, with bookmarks. And what - from drain to drain, the membrane sways and charges the power source. A transmitter in a special range transmits secret information through the sewer;

        It seems to me that mattresses do not sleep well, because they know too much, but not what they would like, and not as much as they would like.

            What's wrong with YOUR electronic component? I will not give examples, and make references to the authorities in electronics, with whom I am familiar, I can say that not everything is bad with the electronics industry in Russia. Yes, we have not seen domestic consumer electronics for a long time, but you must agree that competing with China in the production of mobile phones, TVs, Computers and other things is a waste of time. Although there are domestic mobile phones and televisions. I’ll say right away to your supposed skepticism: The Americans, who "are 50 years ahead of us in technology," buy chips for their electronic components in China and Malaysia, and the Chinese also make shells for them. Forgotten already? And here on VO they wrote about it. The electronics industry provides most of the military's needs.
            About GLONASS. GLONASS works on the entire surface of the Earth. The number of satellites in orbit is complete. On sale you can see household navigators that work in two systems - GPS and GLONASS.
            About launches per year. I repeat once again, now for you personally: ROSCOSMOS is not a commercial organization. It meets Russia's needs for space launches. And it makes no sense to run the garbage that Musk launches. Customer - Russia, pays - Russia, takes care - Russia. And I consider the dispute on this topic useless.

          Generally speaking, the primary tasks for us have always been tracking the US strategic nuclear forces, not what is in Europe. And when flying such planes, everything that does not need to be shown was removed or not included. Not a great loss for us in all respects. But the Americans will come to their senses over time, and again they will whine, let's negotiate.

      after Europe refuses to give guarantees
      So even if guarantees were given, these guarantees would be worth half a day on a market day. I believe that the decision to withdraw from the treaty is correct and in general it is high time to put the interests of your country above the interests of the countries of a potential enemy. NATO was more interested in this treaty, so the Europeans asked us not to withdraw from the treaty.

      after Europe's refusal to give guarantees that the information received will not reach the United States


      it would be strange if the European countries that are part of the NATO military bloc in which the main and the creators of this bloc are the United States gave such guarantees on paper. The West, which is headed by the United States, is quite consistent and from giving any guarantees if these guarantees are not The situation with the development of missile defense areas in Europe is a vivid example of this, when they said in words "this is not against you, but against Iran," but at the same time they flatly refused to reflect this in the form of guarantees on paper.

      in May 2020, US President Donald Trump announced that "the treaty is outdated."


      which in translation means that this treaty does not correspond to the current concept of national interests of the United States. They will break all treaties in the hope of achieving military domination in which Russia will not be able to retaliate with a military retaliatory strike against them.
      When they realize that their hope will not come true, new agreements on mutual military limitation will be concluded.
      In the meantime, it is clear that with each withdrawal from the existing treaty, the United States is throwing logs into the fire of the arms race.

      According to information received by Moscow, the United States, having withdrawn from the treaty, forced the allies to sign an agreement on the transfer of data received by these countries during flights over Russia.


      a kind of curtsy of flattery in the direction of Europe. Saying Moscow believes that Europe still has independence and resists the United States. Silly flattery to those who on all military and political issues "vote in line" on a call from Washington.
