Results of the week. “That's right, and flies away!”
At the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, a presentation of a new medium-haul passenger aircraft MS-21-300 took place. President of the Irkut Corporation:

“Yes, what new is it, how medium-range is it, and how Russian is it? .. It's a repainted Boeing, a cardboard dope, a hologram ...” With about this promise, Ukrainian hamsters went into battle, which, as you know about aviation they know everything, because heredity ... after all, none other than the ancient ukry, as, probably, the National Academy of Sciences in Kiev raves, the first in stories Planets Earth have built a runway for OZELEDEC-1 airplanes of a horse-drawn type. And this immediately after the digging of the Black Sea and the domestication of pterodactyles ...
But seriously - the Russian aviation industry, as the youth says, Respect! Technologically lagging behind, you say? .. Hheh ...
Now the main thing - to finish the job and MS-21 - in the series!

True, the “Sukhoi Civil Aircraft” continue to show a net loss every year ... It's not entirely clear how they do it with a fairly massive production of SSJ.
And "Iskander" leave with you
If we compare the publications of the foreign press of today with the publications of at least 3 a year ago, then the difference is obvious. The major foreign media and the media trying to be in their trend lower and much lower, vied with materials and reports that the Russian army is an inflated colossus with feet of clay, that the Russian defense industry is breathing its last and finally drowned in bribery, and the military Russian machinery is rusting trash, the exploitation of which is a risk to life in the first and only place for those who exploit it. Some passages of a similar nature were replaced by others, the din in the Western media stood as in a real stable, but suddenly ... silence ... and obvious bewilderment.
Rosoboronexport’s contract portfolio has reached 48 billion dollars. This is about 6 times the start of 2000-x. Can not say that the Russian weapons queues are lining up - often with partners we have to have heated debates in search of consensus - but the growth in export volumes is growing even without “long lines”.
One of the topics of the week: why is Russia, which has so successfully “advertised” its weapons in Syria, refused to sell certain types of them abroad? For example, from the sale of OTRK Iskander. Well, firstly, there are international agreements banning the sale of certain weapons, and Russia, unlike many, has become used to international agreements. Secondly, the sale of Iskander by one will inevitably cause the need to “seek consensus” with others. It would be possible, of course, to sell right-to-left, if only export volumes would grow, but is it necessary to stop taking geopolitics into account?

Gas from "aHressor"
During the week an event occurred, which neither Mr. Poroshenko, nor the officials in charge of the Ministry of Energy and coal "Square", nor the other Ukrainian rulers in a strange way reported to their compatriots. We are talking about the letter, which recently received in the Russian "Gazprom". The head of the company, Aleksey Miller, told media representatives that Gazprom received a “envelope” from NAK Naftogaz, which contained words of interest in continuing to purchase gas from Russia.
The head of the Russian Ministry of Energy, Alexander Novak, apparently also reading the letter that came to Miller, even called the gas price 177 dollars for 1 thousand cubic meters for the second quarter of 2016. According to Novak, this price is lower than the market. But not for that “Naftogaz” wrote the letter in order to pay for gas also ... XTO does a Hressor pay? - they decided in the Ukrainian NAK, and announced that 177 dollars is, they say, a robbery in broad daylight, a blow to sovereignty and all that ... This is loud. And on the quiet - they asked for an additional discount ... Only hush-to-the-s ... No one! Gazprom is thinking ...
In the meantime, Gazprom thinks, somewhere in individual cities and towns in the Pskov, Tyumen, Arkhangelsk and other regions of Russia, a peasant spits in his palm, takes up an ax and methodically harvests firewood.
Prices below market ... National commons ...

While the hand is holding the wheel, while the eyes see the ground
In the Pushkin district of the Moscow region crashed the plane of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the pilot was killed, the main versions were piloting error and engine failure. The aircraft was part of the aerobatic fleet of the Russian Knights aerobatic team.
Pilot Sergey Eremenko, whose plane crashed today in the Moscow region, did everything to divert the car from residential buildings. But there was not enough time for the ejection. These are the preliminary findings of investigators working at the crash site.
“Heavens in Heaven”: in memory of the commander of the “Russian Knights” link, Sergei Eremenko
This week and the previous one for military aviation all over the world turned out to be tragic. And, what attracts attention, in most cases of catastrophe we are talking about aerobatic teams: American, Swiss, Russian. To believe or not to believe in the existence of higher powers is everyone’s business, but events with crashed airplanes give reason to think about the fact that the sky is one for all, and that from the tragedy of an opponent to the tragedy of its own, sometimes just one step, one moment. Eternal memory to the dead pilots, regardless of what the Air Force, trying to please people with their highest professionalism, they represented.

In the morning I got up very early -
Anxious was the soul.
And for some reason it became clear
What is not alive you already.
Turned on the radio, said:
"The plane crashed again ..."
Eyes filled with tears.
My favorite pilot died.
You, like a bird, tore into the sky
And, going to the last flight,
You, as usual smiled
Bottomless beauty of heaven.
You so wanted to stay in the sky,
But not for a while, forever.
Well then now at least
Your dream has come true.
And outside the window the birds were silent,
And voices habitual hum.
You promised me to return ...
Now, it turns out, deceived.
I look in the sky with reproach:
"Are you happy, my dear pilot ?!"
And above the empty airfield
Someone's plane takes off ...

Continental Armada
In Brussels, a note was signed on the accession of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to the Technical Agreement between Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic regarding cooperation within the framework of the European Union Battle Tactical Group, formed by the Visegrad Four countries.
Strange, why is it “one of the most powerful armies on the continent” to combine their efforts with some kind of Polish and Slovak military? If the Ukrainian military group daily “liquidated” half a dozen “Russian generals” (and this is just before lunch, during smoke breaks) in the Donbass, then there is only one option to sign an agreement with the Visegrad Four ... - Must be to share best practices in deterring “ occupiers and aggressors ”... Probably, now in the armies of the Visegrad Four countries there will appear their“ avatars ”and units well trained to light fires on the target field of the tank range. Experience as well ...

Is there such a party?
The 6 June analytical center of Yuri Levada on its official website presented the results of a survey of Russians aged 18 years on the subject of political sympathies regarding political parties. The survey may well be considered relevant due to the fact that 2016 is a year of parliamentary elections, and only about 100 days remain until the citizens' will.
The results of the survey on our portal for 100 before the elections to the “State Duma” are as follows:
Communist Party - 35%
United Russia - 9,4%,
LDPR - 9,1%
“Motherland” - 5,2%,
Fair Russia - less than 4%.
“Candidate” “Against all” got almost 16% of votes.
And the surprise - about 2,2% of readers of the Military Review vote for Parnassus. And you still say: "the site of kremlebotov, quilted jackets and active Colorado" ...

In the Baltic region, NATO "with the Allies" conducts a series of successive military maneuvers of varying intensity and size of personnel involved in them: "Baltops", "Anaconda", "Sword Strike", etc.
On the one hand, it is possible to calmly look at all these NATO perturbations, believing that “they will not get further anyway,” but after the statement of one of the Lithuanian MEPs, the kulaks are itching ... What is it about? And that, according to the MEP from a small but proud Lithuania, the sovereignty of this very Lithuania is threatened, you see, the fact of the existence of the Kaliningrad region. But if for a moment ... the same deputy would have heard from the bureaucratic corps of Kaliningrad that the security of the Kaliningrad region is threatened by the fact of Lithuania’s existence - what note would the Lithuanian leader take? ..
By the way, the Kremlin declared that it would not leave NATO activity on the Baltic without an answer.

Media wars
Does it happen at least one day when people are not told how barbarous, uncivilized, aggressive and harmful this country is Russia? The answer is no, it does not happen.
They write separate publications in the West, of course, beautifully. And this publication thanks for the very possibility of publishing a point of view, which in the West, to put it mildly, is not popular. That's just on this background is not encouraging news about the continuing pressure from the "partners" on the Russian media. Thus, the Russia Today TV channel, which began broadcasting in Argentina in the autumn of 2014, will be transferred to a paid package by the country's new authorities. For obvious reasons, it will significantly reduce its South American audience. Probably, for the pro-American president Mauricio Macri Moveton, when the Russian TV channel actually recognizes Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands (Falklands) ...

"Red" level of danger
In Aktobe of Kazakhstan (formerly Aktyubinsk) 5, June, militants staged a series of terrorist attacks. The city was declared a "red" level of terrorist danger.
Militants committed a number of crimes: a seller and a security guard were killed in a Pallas gun shop, and then three policemen were injured. There was an attack on another store, "Panther", where militants shot a visitor, and another one wounded. In the ensuing exchange of fire with a police outfit, three gangsters were eliminated. One law enforcement officers detained.
Having captured and hijacked a shuttle bus, radical terrorists attacked the military unit of the National Guard, where they killed three soldiers and wounded six. The servicemen resisted: one terrorist was killed on the spot, another was wounded, defused and detained.
From the meager reports of the Kazakh Ministry of Internal Affairs it is clear that at the moment not all the criminals are detained: some managed to escape. In press provides information about six criminals who managed to escape after the June 5 attacks.

On rakku!
With the support of Russian aviation, the Syrian army recently crossed the Rakka province border. Recall, the capital of the province, the city of Raqqa, is considered the "capital" of the jihadist "Islamic State". Experts believe that Raqqa may be able to be freed from the militants in the coming months.
In the struggle of the Syrian forces against the “Islamic State”, a probable turning point is brewing. Obvious active support by the Russian air forces of the Assad army. And it may well be that this support will be increased in the near future.
Two anti-terrorist coalitions (the American and the Russian-Syrian) for the first time in one way or another coordinate efforts to counter the militants of the IG.
The probable summer victory over the terrorists in the province of Raqqa and the capture of the city of the same name would mark the beginning of the end of the self-styled “caliphate”.

I think that if the Americans capture Raqqu earlier, they will not allow government troops to go there.

Nothing good
In Venezuela, more than 1,3 million signatures were recognized as valid in support of the application for a referendum on the early termination of the authority of Nicolas Maduro. This was stated by the executive secretary of the opposition Bloc of democratic unity. He also noted that the opposition has “six times more signatures than necessary.”
Venezuelan citizen Enri José Machuca Navarro, an expert in international relations and the oil business, spoke about the future of Venezuela in the journal "Forbes".
The expert does not want to predict the future of Venezuela, because it does not undertake to "guess what the exact price of oil will be by the end of the year." One thing is clear: the confrontation between key political players will continue. The quality of life of the population will depend on the ability of the state to work with big business, for which it is necessary to accelerate plans to diversify the economy. It is likely that the government will have to cut budget expenditures or find external borrowing. The latter is quite realistic for the republic, because this country has a reputation as a good borrower. "It remains to be hoped that Venezuela will learn a lesson from the current situation: you cannot live on oil revenues only," Navarro sums up.
We’ll add to the Russian government that it would also be nice to learn the lessons and stop glancing at bars of charts with the price of "black gold" running around the dollar, and think about the diversification of the economy, self-sufficiency and intellectual resources. It is not good for such an intelligent and resource-rich country to turn into a flea market in selling Chinese consumer goods.

Well, the fact that the leaders of the country did not bother with organizing the processing of their own oil on their own territory is, of course, sad and short-sighted, nothing good can be said here.
sports news
The film, shown by ARD TV (Germany), says that Vitaly Mutko (the Minister of Sport of Russia) could have been involved in hiding the positive result of the doping sample from a certain Krasnodar footballer in 2014. Documents proving this are available from a German journalist H. Zeppelt. Commenting on this message, Mutko on the air of Kommersant FM radio gave advice: “Make a competent translation!”
The television and radio company wrote about the broadcast. "BBC".
The film is really a correspondence of two Russians, discussing the detection of doping in the sample of one player of FC Krasnodar in 2014. The correspondents agree to apply for instructions to a person designated “VL”. Journalists say that these are the initials of Vitaly Leontyevich Mutko, and also report that none of the players of Krasnodar was disqualified. It is alleged that Mutko could know about the use of doping by athletes both at the level of the Premier League football and at the Olympic Games, and could help to hide information.
In addition, in the film, notes “BBC”, the former head of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov appears. According to him, doping was detected in samples of Russian athletes who participated in several Olympiads, including in London. According to Rodchenkov, the witnesses were paid for silence: the deal could be arranged by Natalya Zhelanova, Mutko's assistant.
Mentioned in the film is the death of Nikita Kamaev, the former executive director of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency. According to the film, shortly before his death, Kamaev contacted Werner Möller, a Danish journalist, and gave him information about doping supplies - and not only to athletes from Russia, but also from other countries.
Finally, it is also argued that coach Leonid Chögin, who was disqualified in May 2016, still works with Russian athletes. How is this proved? The authors of the film provide a video recording of the training of Russian athletes involved in athletic walking. Record made in Adler. At one of the shots in the car accompanying the athletes, a person’s face is dimly visible. The authors believe that this is Chegin.

Bear attack
Failure befell the Finnish soldiers in the first stage of joint exercises with NATO. A brown bear crept into the territory of the military base, causing a real panic among the soldiers and officers.
The animal wandered into the dining room, where a snack lunch, prepared for military personnel. The press service of the Finnish brigade reports that the soldiers, trying to avoid danger, jumped into the trucks on the site. It was decided to shoot the bear.
According to poorly verified information, rumors are circulating among the Finnish soldiers about the Russians' trial attack. Not for nothing was the Finnish not a squirrel, but a bear came out to them. After killing the unfortunate animal, the soldiers became disillusioned: it was not an agent of the Kremlin in camouflage.

Found a fragment
The prosecutor's office of the Netherlands publishes another version of the report on the crash of "Boeing-777" in the Donbass. Immediately, it is worth paying attention to the fact that, as a kind of prologue, the Dutch prosecutors and representatives of the investigation publish a statement of the following nature: “The final conclusions on issues related to the crash of the Boeing will be made this fall”.
Among the regular ornate formulations of the special commission there is a statement that the representatives of this commission found the largest fragment of the Buk anti-aircraft missile at the site of the crash. The speech, as reported in the report, is about the back of the rocket, which (quote) "could have been released by chance." The submission says that the Dutch experts are going to contact the Russian manufacturers of this kind of anti-aircraft missile systems to obtain accurate information about the classification of a fragment of ammunition.
The following is interesting: in spite of the protracted analysis, the Dutch experts have so far not released any clear and concrete research results. There is no answer to the main question: if that was the Buka rocket, then where did it start from? Let's wait for the fall of this year. Probably, after consultations of the Dutch with Russian experts about the "classification of the fragment," the truth will finally get into the Western media.

Big ships - a big torpedo
The number of aircraft carriers at the same time on duty, the United States brought up to six. This has not been noted since 2012. But the US Navy is not going to stop what has been achieved: it is planned to connect one more to the six aircraft carriers: "George Bush". However, experts do not think that the Americans decided to seriously threaten the Russians or the Chinese.
Hardly Commander Obama has planned to attack Putin in the Sea of Okhotsk. The actions of the American Navy are fully linked to the election campaign in the United States. At the expense of the theses about the “Russian threat” B.H. Obama, who sent the ships to the “planned combat training programs”, hopes to raise the low rating of the native Democratic Party at least a little and clear the way for his alleged counterpart - Hillary Clinton. It's all about Trump: the other day this potential Republican candidate saidthat his rival “made a lot of serious mistakes”, and called the policy of Barack Obama “a disaster”.

I briefly wrote that all this is quite serious, and besides, the Americans have worked out the tactics and strategy of using aircraft carrier groups in the conflicts of the Persian Gulf and operations against Yugoslavia! For the countries of the so-called third world, this is 100% killer, but we don’t need to relax either: unfortunately, our fleet is far from being Soviet, and at least there are effective anti-ship missile systems "Granit" and "Vulkan" that appeared " Caliber ", but, nevertheless, you need to understand that the modern aircraft carrier - the tub is extremely tenacious! It can be flooded only with a direct hit of a tactical nuclear charge, but the calculation shows that, let's say, the detonation of a nuclear charge with a power of up to 50 kilotons near does not guarantee its drowning. At the same time, he will still be able to perform a number of functions, while remaining the head of the group!
And still it is necessary to understand and answer the question: why does NATO strengthen the ground grouping of its troops along our land borders and surround our sea coast along its entire perimeter with its attack groups? What for?
Wedmak
Indeed, all these aircraft carrier groups are designed for shock functions against the coast. With one exception: they will never approach the coast, knowing that there are coastal missile systems. And this 1000 km, as you called, “autopsy”, about anything. Only “Tomahawks” hammer, the combat radius of F / A-18 is just 700-800 km. Not much, when they are waiting for MiGs and SAMs on the shore.
Michael, Rein and NATO
Former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul made a bold statement. According to him (uttered in fraternal Estonia), the United States should “curb” Russia, otherwise it forced NATO to “repel the threat”.
But there was a much bolder statement. It is published in the international online edition of The Huffington Post. Publicist Riley Woggemen explained that the threat was “imaginary,” and NATO was a bunch of racketeers.
NATO is an unhealthy cluster of visionaries who paint imaginary threats and create images of enemies, and then forcing the "allies" to buy weapons at the very end. American “racketeers” who do business in war are creating a “bloodstained scam” on a global scale.

Russia has a scanty population for such a huge territory, and this annoys everyone. And the small sticking countries, they, like the sixes, held out with those who were stronger. USSR, the Russian Empire were superpowers, there were some allies. Russia became sick - and everyone turned away from it. If we live with our own government as if on different planets, then with residents of other countries - even further.
