Is it really up to something again?

[Romn]

the best result for US aircraft carriers

[Very old]

How? Do you have any suggestions?
I too for such an END
But I live on a sinful (sinner) earth
Sobriety and again (again) Sobriety

Is it really up to something again?

why are you a purely "humanitarian" mission, especially considering the scale of our group in Mediterranean

[Day 11]

And what is there "really" - they openly talk about the need to use force "for good"

[mountain]

Forcing, the situation is moving into a new direction.

[Very old]

Valery, they have an old channel
The road is rolled

Rake forgot

[mountain]

Valentine, I meant that we are being dragged into our "mainstream" games. And the rake is still the same and the road is rolled in one direction. (((I agree with you.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

but how, if ours settled down there, amers need to surpass the blood from the nose ...

[alex-s]

Yes, a military base in Syria would not hurt us!

[Vladimirets]

Or in Norfolk.

[asar]

Yes, at least in Cuba will return! and Venezuela is also not bad!

[kostya-petrov]

and since when has the US controlled the Caspian and Black Sea ?!
The presence of the US Navy does not mean that they are the owners of these water areas !!! And let them forget about the Caspian in general, they have never been there, and never will be !!!!
The Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and other adjacent seas are the responsibility of the Russian Federation, but not the United States !!!!

[Aleksey_K]

And since then, as their tomahawks began to fly on 2.5 thousand km.

[alex80]

Well, if you consider the missile range as a zone of responsibility,
then our strategic missile forces are beyond competition and control every 10 square meters
sushi or how many East Kazakhstan is now?

[sergey32]

But let’s get to the Caspian Sea along the Volga-Don, there we will leave them in the gateway.

[Day 11]

The zone of responsibility of the United States is ALL oceans, ALL seas, ALL rivers and rivulets, ALL lakes and dams ... ALL, EVERYTHING !!! This is so obvious

[kostya-petrov]

and in our country does the USA pretend to be a world policeman ?!
The USSR never climbed into the affairs of other states, but here a complete invasion !!! For this it is necessary to punish !!!

[Day 11]

Can you prove the opposite?

[wasilyek]

For the time being, they also did not control Iraq ... Remind me the result?
Well, the Black Sea ... Well, is it really that Turkey has ceased to have its coast? And Turkey is a member of NATO, and where is NATO, there you count and it rules.
And both straits and the Bosphorus and Dardanelles of the Turks, count with NATO, count with s.
What else to explain?

Everything is not so simple, and if we have already undertaken to explain it, then it is not a sin to at least mention the "Montreux Convention" on the status of the straits.

[Day 11]

Surely you have not yet understood that they are not subject to any conventions!

[avg]

Quote: Den 11

Surely you have not yet understood that they are not subject to any conventions!

I understood something else. If they do not show resistance, then they will climb on their heads, and if they cut into the tinsel in time, the guys become quite sane. For example, in 1988, the cruiser URO “Yorktown” and the destroyer “Karon” entered our territorial waters, from where they were expelled with shame by the crews of the TFR “Bezavezhetny”) and TFR -6. Remembering this lesson, even during the conflict with Georgia in 2008, the Americans did not dare to violate the Montreux Convention. (You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgthP3NFeDk)

[Day 11]

Of course, I saw this (like any other PATRIOT). But now, another time and the forces are not the same. Of course, on earth we can give them wort, but in the air and at sea ---... without options!

[avg]

Now on earth we are losing to them. But unlike the rest of the world, behind all our humble SKR-6 is the full power of nuclear deterrence. The Americans are well aware of this, and that is why they are forced to negotiate with us.

[coleg-10]

If democracy is not enough somewhere, then we will go to you.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

They are obviously plotting something again ... The humiliation in the Syrian crisis will not be forgiven for the Saxon Saxons.

[kostya-petrov]

probably the Americans began to forget such operations as "Atrina" and "Aport" !!!!
Recently there was information that an atomic submarine of the Northern Fleet broke into the Mediterranean Sea, let's hope that not one !!!
It is desirable that project 885 "Ash" be there !!!

[Tirpitz]

Ours will soon leave the Mediterranean, as Kuzya and the company are not in a condition to be there permanently. And instead of one Amer, another comes to the Amer, and the squadron in the Middle East is assembled from all fleets and will soon disperse to its distant bases (and they are far, since Tartus is not a full-fledged base)

[kostya-petrov]

dear, do not forget about the MPLATRK projects 971 949A and the newest project 885 "Ash !!!
They have a large autonomy, enough to keep their entire AUG at bay !!! And if there are also our Varshavyanochki walking, which NATO members call the "Black Hole" there is no price at all !!!

[wasilyek]

How many of them are left?
What is their current state?
Or will we go into the future on old merits?

Drop the link where they call them that, I've been looking for it for a long time.

Quote: professor

Will not throw off. This cartoon from "black hole" was launched by Channel One and Russia Today, citing Konstantin Tabachny, cap of the Novorossiysk submarine.
“Our potential opponents call it the 'Black Hole' due to the very low noise emission and visibility of the submarine. To be undetectable is the main quality for a submarine. And this whole project really fits its purpose. ” And so on.

[Day 11]

Take off your rose-colored glasses! Stop living with old memories! Remind me of the Kursk death? It was a show

[skiff-xnumx]

It showed what if not a secret. And showed by whom and to whom

[Roman 1977]

And what to forget about him ...
MPLATRK project 885 "Ash" - accepted into EXPERIMENTAL OPERATION and will be accepted into the combat composition of the Navy not earlier than the second half of this year due to incomplete tests of hydroacoustics, navigation, electro-mechanical part, missile complex "Caliber", as well as work to reduce noise from the purpose of bringing it to the parameters established in the TTZ. And this is after 20 (twenty) years of construction (founded in 1993)

"the completion of the submarine tests, the signing of the acceptance certificate and the ascent of the Andreevsky flag at Severodvinsk are expected not earlier than September-October," however, "if the need arises," these terms may be shifted to November-December. "Everything depends on the successful solution of all assigned tasks, unnecessary haste to the detriment of quality
unacceptable "

http://bastion-karpenko.narod.ru/Severodvinsk_2011_01.html

http://www.newsru.com/russia/30dec2013/sevdvinsk.html

MPLATRK project 885 "Severodvinsk"
In the same experimental operation, however, under Andreevsky
The diesel-electric submarine "Saint Petersburg" of project 17.10.2013 "Lada" has been flagged (first in the Baltic Fleet, and since 22.04.2010 - in the Northern Fleet) for a very long time (almost four years - since 677).

Arrival of Project 677 "Saint Petersburg" DARL to the Northern Fleet
If this goes on, our Navy will turn into a large testing ground, where substandard products of the USC (OPK) will be endlessly brought to mind, which, like Severodvinsk,

"not ready for combat missions."

So, it’s very early to open Shappan and rejoice ...

[skiff-xnumx]

Well, that 885 and 677 projects are test benches and to consider these ships to be the main ones is simply blasphemy. The second building of the project should be considered as the head one. Moreover, the second building of the 885 project is already completely different. And about the time of construction, it’s like this: during construction, the project was changed five times and built on a penny per year

NATO members call the "Black Hole"

"Foxtrot".

Dear, do you think that writing 949A has 2 screws and is quite noisy, how many ash trees are in operation? In the vast expanses of the ocean you can compete with NATO, and in the Mediterranean, with the complete dominance of anti-submarine and coastal aviation, I would not have counted on apl strongly.

[skiff-xnumx]

And how interesting you are at the 636 building you will chase aug. You at least look at the speed.

[wasilyek]

Yes, they all remember. Well, what, and they know how to analyze and conclusions about the future.
The problem is that there is no TOE Country for a long time and there is no TOGO Fleet for a long time that they were able to plan and carry out such operations.
current army commanders can’t only lick their asses so that their assets are not frozen somewhere.

[Commander]

The fact that the Americans conceived something bad is a fact! You can shake muscles at home, and such an armada went into the sea for a reason.

[piocor03]

At the latest US Navy aircraft carrier, George W. Bush often refused latches, during the first military campaign in the Persian Gulf (May 2011), all 2 toilets failed on the aircraft carrier 423 times. In total, similar incidents occur on the aircraft carrier 25 times a week, more than 10000 man-hours were spent. Failures of the vacuum drain system are a major problem for an aircraft carrier.
Well ....

[wasilyek]

Well kapets ... direct failure of the toilets is the main reason for undermining the combat effectiveness of the entire AUG. :-)))

[Leshka]

something is brewing either they will climb into Syria or Ukraine

[kostya-petrov]

Most likely they will not be allowed into the Black Sea !!! aircraft carriers are forbidden to appear there !!!
Yes, and the Black Sea Fleet most likely will not let them near either !!!

[wasilyek]

The Black Sea Fleet somehow ends up making ends meet.
So far, he can only scare Georgia.

[Bort radist]

Geneva 2 failed. Kerry blames Bashar al-Assad and Russia. AUG went to the second round. From the point of view of the United States, the most suitable time is the Olympic Games.

[09061982]

Not so long ago, the article was about the fact that AUG detection is a serious problem ... And that they are detected when each AUG exit is widely covered by all media ..

[Orakyl]

Psychic attack started! Time is coming "H". We urgently need to distribute "Yakhonta" along the route and explain which button you cannot press!

Excellent knowledge of the subject - thrilled put plus

Any "democratic" operation is always preceded by a noisy PR and diplomatic campaign with demonization of the "guilty" and calls for the rallying of the entire world community in the face of .... As well as drawing "red" lines. Now this is not observed. Probably the usual demonstration of the flag. did not forget who is the master of the sea. Unfortunately, our group does not look very good against the background of the American AUG.

Hello Olga! What are we ringing here that the type of tenge has collapsed there. Is it true?

[ia-ai00]

And you, Denis, Hello!
Well ... and at once by 20%, but why waste time on trifles? In 2009, the dollar jumped by 50%, from 75 tenge to 150 per $, so why be surprised? Then Mr. Nazarbayev said: “They say that there will be additional devaluation. These rumors are being let out by the owners of exchange offices and those who were against the devaluation.”
The head of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, KElimbetov, in October, December and January 2014, assured that "everything is calm in Baghdad," and here you are - "sign it."
Today, February 17, KElimbetov again announced: - "National Bank will "interest" Kazakhstanis to keep money in tenge", again a distant" sight ", as I understand it, again" noodles "on the ears. But ordinary workers, basically really kept their pennies in tenge. Will they believe now?
After all, people have lost not only 20% of what was in the "bins", they also lost in the form binding PENSION savings, which are 10% each month from the salary. At such a pace, after 5 ... 10 years, people will remain from these pension accumulations.
