Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
On the morning of July 12, six Tu-22М3 long-range bombers, which took off from home airfields in the Russian Federation, delivered a concentrated blow of high-explosive fragmentation ammunition at the facilities of the IG terrorist group in the region east of Palmyra, Es-Suhn and Arak.

All airplanes returned safely and landed at their airfields. To ensure safety of flights, representatives of the international coalition were notified in advance about the time of strikes and flight corridors.

        good commemoration for our guys, helicopter pilots! soldier

        Or maybe it's time not only to remember that? Maybe it's time to ask? When a Greek pilot shot down a Turkish plane over its territory, Turkey demanded the extradition of this pilot in order to try him. And whatever letters of apology the Greeks wrote, the Turks did not remove this requirement to extradite the Greek pilot.
        Maybe it's time for us not to remember or respond with bombing strikes, but to demand the extradition of the Turkish pilot in order to judge him? Maybe it's time to pull the rope that leads to the people and organizations that the stingers put to ISIS, after which a helicopter with our pilots was shot down and "clean up" this abomination without looking back at Europe and Washington?
        Or is the blood of a Russian soldier worthless? How long will hostile actions towards our soldiers, and indeed the Russian people in general, remain unpunished without a target?
        Maybe it's time to finally do something with Ukraine? A fascist regime has been nurtured by our side, which clearly and understandably declares that Russia is an ENEMY! So maybe it's time to start calling things by their proper names and start acting accordingly?
        The entire territory of the former USSR is a TERRITORY OF RUSSIAN INTERESTS, and this is a fact. So maybe it's time to state this directly without indistinct mumbling and scrabbling?
        If our plane was shot down, then there should be no talk of any thaw in relations with Turkey. The only conversation that should be held is the requirements for the issuance of a Turkish pilot.
        As for Ukraine, I think it's time to put things in order in this circus, hard and fast. It is impossible to imagine that an anti-American regime will sit in Mexico and mattresses will be quietly put up with it. So Ukraine for us is the same territory of our interests as Mexico is for the United States.
        Observing what is happening, lately I have been jarred by the term “defense doctrine.” Maybe it's time not only to defend, but also to show fangs and claws? And if aggression is manifested in relation to our military, citizens or Russians in the post-Soviet space, Russia is obliged to respond, up to the use of force.
        Honestly tired of the fact that in the Baltics, Russians are not considered people and their rights are trampled upon. The attitude of many governments and politicians in the post-Soviet space towards the Russians has reached. This war with Donbass has reached. Isn't it time to start reacting to all this harshly and clearly?
        With our silence and indistinctness, we have reached the point that NATO is at our borders, and such regimes as the Polish, Baltic, Turkish, etc. boldly wipe their feet about us, pouring mud on us in front of the whole world, and we are showing tolerance.
        They are not children! If some mongrel starts barking in our direction, do not try to stroke her, so that she wagged her tail or not notice, but is it time to pull out the fangs of this misunderstanding?
        Maybe the time of talking and searching for understanding has passed, where it will never be if you are weak? Maybe it's time to start somewhere and give in the face, somewhere to take your own, somewhere to return what you gave in the 90s?

          Andrei! In almost everything in your comments I agree, however, the point is that the Tu-22M3 covered quite significant targets in Syria from the territory of the Russian Federation ...

              It seems to me that I need to end up with the warnings of the "coalition", because after the warnings, as a rule, the main bastards at the last moment, "quite by accident" manage to escape.

              And it is necessary to work on this territory by all available means, including land-based specialized units. I am sure that all "agreements with partners" only harm our line of conduct in Syria, and it is unnecessary to bow to them, and Bashar finally needs to remember about the sovereignty of his country and remind the coalition that no one invited them to sovereign territory. And with the help of Russia, declare not only a no-fly zone over Syria, but also declare any (!) Armed formations other than the Syrian Army (subordinate to the legitimate government) outlawed, with their subsequent destruction. And hammer, hammer, hammer. This is the only way to achieve victory. Just for a moment, imagine the negotiations with Hitler in 41, 42, 43, 44 and even in 45 ... We already have a lot of shortcomings following the results of the Great Patriotic War, for example, Bandera.

            Corruption is enemy number one today, and it is true. I said that corrupt officials should not only be imprisoned and confiscated all the loot, but also from their immediate entourage, if they do not prove the legitimacy of their income. And imprisoned far and long. To this day, it hurts me that Serdyukov escaped justice, like Vasilyeva. At the same time, adding up all the money that these figures steal, I'm sure you can build a fleet no weaker than Mattress's.

            These are long-term tasks, but I'm talking about today. It's time to tie up to huddle to your borders muttering evil. Then there is nowhere to retreat. And if the same Poroshenko declares that Russia is an enemy, what other words should there be from him in order for us to understand that it is time to clean up this garish lad with all his gop company, and to restore order by the border of the state that has grown to our side.

              Good evening. I read your philippic (no humor) and the question arose, why is this not done?
              Here I live in the Russian Federation, my son graduated from a Russian university and works here. And if the opposite? I would live here, my own business or sinecure ..... And there is a house in Italy, Germany or the States. Serious account in a solid. Children graduated from universities in the United States. Wealthy old age in the West. What else does a man need? And Russia?
              And who cares about planes, Pinocchio, Armata? AND?
              I didn't really like the USSR. But! Our topmen and civil servants did not have movable and immovable property over the hill and therefore they had nothing to lose. Like all the people. Under the Soviets, a Zhigul was owned. Even 6 acres were not owned.
              I'm not talking about the times of the IVS. Therefore, we won the Second World War. Although there were traitors and pests. But there was a small percentage of them. You know, there was such a novel - "Cast a cold gaze" So I advise you to do it.

                We won the war not because there were no real estate or accounts abroad ... but because we have such a genome. I gave these figures ...over the past 1000 years, Russia has fought for 650 years.And as you can see, it did not disappear, but even grew by territories.

                So why is Russia tolerating that? Because we are weak or because there is no will? So forgive, but where do we retreat further, do not tell me? You yourself are not tired of wiping yourself off and saying, be patient, maybe it will cost?

                  It is pleasant to communicate with a well-read person. "Cast a cold eye" was like that. Written by a woman, American or Canadian. "Foreign Literature" magazine. I read to them then. The name just stuck in my memory.
                  You know, about the apartment break-in. As a trustworthy person, I have small arms. Smooth and grooved. And while living in the country, I took care of my safety. Well, like armed and very dangerous. But after reading our good laws, I learned that I DON'T HAVE the RIGHT in the event of an attack on me in a house (not an apartment because there are floors and double steel doors) to use a firearm. Those. if goons (2 - 3 people) without weapons climb through the window to me, I cannot use a firearm, only on fists. Judicial practice and its application do not allow me to use a weapon in the event of a break-in.
                  I have been to the States many times. Visited gun shops. And this is what surprised me. Hall, weapons on the lodgements. You can take it, look, turn it around. Me like
                  grew up surprised. Imagine, you can grab him and run away with him. I twisted my head trying to see the cameras. Didn't see. Probably disguised. I don't want to be unfounded, it's just that their business card is not at hand. But that was HOUSTON.
                  We, in the store, will give you a weapon if you have a license.
                  A lot of people have weapons in the States. The fact that shoots inappropriately is a very small percentage. Thousandths.
                  About to endure. I'll be honest. I don't want a war. You know, we have a GDP (one). The rest are slaves. His father fought in my opinion on Nevsky Pyatachka. My grandfather Sokolov Sergei Kuzmich - an NKVD officer commanded the marines there. I hate it when the NKVD Hayat. The NKVD divisions detained the Germans at the beginning of the war until the arrival of the regular units. As connections, they fought to death. Well this is a digression. Requiem for the soldiers of the NKVD.
                  So, VVP knows firsthand what war and blockade are. And he is trying to peacefully resolve the situation and not lose face. It's my opinion.
                  You know the Russian mentality, like that, right in the eye. We are very hot. The same Anglo-Saxons are different. Militant, but masters of intrigue. We need to learn from them.
                  I remember a general who deceived the enemy. He was told it was a hoax. He replied, not a deception, but a MILITARY TICE. In my opinion, this is suitable for GDP.

                      Look - North Korea. A dozen years ago, had a cardboard rocket with YBG? You can believe it, you can not.
                      The staffs were whining, they turned to the UN. Where are the actions? Where is the STORM IN A GLASS OF WATER? N I CH E G O! What are Korea and the United States?
                      They were afraid. They were afraid that the regime would launch this rocket with the roof down.
                      They live very well and are afraid of war. Why, after nuclear war, millions and billions in bunkers? You won't go to Germany and pat Merkel on the bottom, you won't meet Pedro Shokoladny.
                      If they have a panic with refugees outside of the war, then what about the explosion in the center of Europe of a single nuclear-powered missile launched from Iskander?
                      There is no cellular connection, ATMs do not work. There is no light, water in apartments and houses. Hundreds of sick and wounded. Transport does not work. You can list further.
                      The Western authorities are well aware of this. And most likely they will not fight. Now there is a war of nerves.
                      I have a cat. He's a fighter. Constantly fights with village cats. Here they stand opposite each other and scream in a heart-rending voice. Someone's nerves can not stand it, runs away. So now we have.
                      But seriously, we are simply being dragged into the arms race; spending on the army is growing, like a vacuum cleaner it pulls in millions of young people to serve, not work, etc., etc.
                      Then our propaganda escalates. You know, I live at the Finnish border. Those. I can watch their TV. However, after the Finns introduced sanctions against us, I stopped watching them.
                      But recently it turned on again. So there is peace and quiet. They talk about construction, nature, etc. There is no military rhetoric.
                      Look at ukrov. What should they attack the Crimea? They say that their territory. They do not regret their people, how many young people were put in the cauldrons. But do not climb!
                      Westerners are very pragmatic. The States, after the accession of the Baltic States to Russia, did not recognize this fact. And they waited 70 years. And we got it.
                      Who prevented us in the 90s from not recognizing the belonging of Crimea to Ukraine? No one.
                      The ruling stratum of the Russian Federation boasted like a merchant, boasted of Mercedes, mistresses, villas. He did not deal with the country. It's a little better now.

                And what forgive us to do, order? Wait and gain strength? Or maybe they will continue to retreat somewhere beyond the Urals or to the Taiga to gain strength?
                Or are you waiting for the moment when NATO missile defense launchers will be visible from the windows of your house?
                We will wait for 2008, when these stoned ones climb into the Crimea, Rostov, etc., they will not lose weight ... and the mattresses will bring a couple of AUG to our shores at this time.
                And then what will you do?
                The adversary does not give us time, squeezing the ring more and more. And if you do not understand this, then you are blind and naive.

          Yes, I just want to clarify - do we have the resources to conduct a full-scale and long-term war? How much ammunition do we have in reserve, what is the resource in the engine hours of the equipment? When the operation in Syria began, the military-industrial complex began to work in 3 shifts. On one front.

            With whom? With Turkey? And who is going to fight her on a full scale then? It was not for nothing that I mentioned the Iskanders. But the Macedonians are also capable of hitting missiles with small nuclear warheads. At the same time, they still cannot intercept a missile. And the Turks all know this.

              This is the truth.

              Emotionally I agree with the most dashing proposals to punish enemies and neutralize threats.
              But there is truth also among those who express the idea that we do not have too much strength.
              And I agree with that.

              Pyrrhic victory does not suit us.
              In civilizational terms, this will set aside the camp and the people, in comparison with those who look calmly from the outside (for example, China).
              Victory at any cost, this is when there is no other way.

              For this reason, I agree in almost everything with the actions of V.V. Putin in foreign policy. Here are just domestic politics - strange and mysterious.

              As for military retaliation, it is already in the fact that now everyone knows that if something happens, Tu-22M3 or white swans will fly in ... and no assurances from the American authorities that Russia is neutralized, isolated, torn apart, ... won't help.

              I am sure that the media do not know everything, and the official bodies do not report everything.
              I see one thing, our armed forces spend on combat training wisely and profitably.

              In general, I would like to return to the 1970s and organize an alternative version of the development of the USSR.
              And then peaceful Soviet combines and tractors would be harvesting corn in the fields of Ohayshchina.

          either with regards to Ukraine, then I think it's time to put things in order in this circus, tough and fast. It is impossible to imagine that an anti-American regime will sit in Mexico and mattresses will be quietly put up with it. So Ukraine for us is the same territory of our interests as Mexico is for the United States.

          A mailing list comes to the mail from Mr. Guilbeau, people ask he answers. The famous character himself developed the SHEL course (school of effective leaders) is not cheap, but it is interesting to read. So here a question came to him about Ukraine.
          ** The Kremlin pays in various forms to the Kiev junta about $ 30 billion a year (subsidies, free fuel supplies, additional capitalization of banks, etc.) for it to portray the “Edyna Ukryna”, so much needed by the Kremlin **,. . and what is the further plan. I like the fact that the Kremlin wanted to show its people how bad life is after the Maidan. Then what for this subsidy, etc. thank.

          Victor

          The Kremlin's plan is simple: to do everything that the owners from Washington and Brussels order, but at the same time to avoid dividing the country and confiscating property in conditions when the crisis phenomena between the owners (issuers of money for which the Kremlin kids work) make them look for, at whose expense to solve growing contradictions. Therefore, the only goal of the Kremlin's policy on second-hand use is to strictly fulfill the directives of the European owners on the uninterrupted supply of gas. If, under the previous regime of Ukraine, the Kremlin paid tribute to the Ukronazis at 5-10 billion dollars annually through various schemes, then after the arrival of the Kiev junta and surrender to its blackmail, it pays tribute under various schemes on average $ 30 billion per year (free deliveries energy, transit fees, security fees, additional capitalization of the branches of Russian banks and second-hand enterprises, etc.). There is no alternative to this, since the junta does not agree to provide transit of Russian gas for less money due to the scarcity of the used economy.

          At the same time, gas supplies to the EU are carried out by the Russian Federation below the cost price, that is, at a loss to the country. Gazprom has long been a technical bankrupt, and keeps afloat only thanks to soft loans, tax breaks and direct subsidies from the population of the Russian Federation. At the same time, in order to release the necessary volumes of gas due to a drop in production, the domestic chemical industry was left without raw materials and destroyed, the products of which were sold at a profit for the country.

          The further plan remains the same: to pay tribute to the owners and at the same time their Kiev sixes at any cost, in the hope of avoiding confiscation of their capital in their banks.

          The above has long been a commonplace of all Russian analysts. Another thing is that no one fully understands the conditions under which this policy is being implemented. We will talk about these difficult conditions at a seminar on September 24-25 in Moscow

        It will be enough when ISIS surrenders unconditionally, and the ringleaders are taken to Nuremberg, condemned there, and hanged. A trip to Nuremberg can be replaced by a trip to any other place, and even completely canceled. In principle, the court can also, although not desirable, be canceled. But hanging can not be canceled in any way, and even a thread like a stake cannot be replaced with something. According to Islamic beliefs, the soul comes out of the throat with the last breath, and if the throat is pinched, then you have to leave from the opposite side. After that, the soul, soiled with a certain substance, does not dare to appear before Allah and goes straight to these horned and tailed hurias.

After that, the soul, soiled with a certain substance, does not dare to appear before Allah and goes straight to these horned and tailed hurias.

          Do not decide for God or Allah where to send this abomination. What these pseudo believers say about the throat, substance, etc. is only their faith and opinion. And there is God's judgment, in which all these opinions and postulates are worthless.

        It’s interesting to me that it was known that the shaitans were clustered in that area. Until MI-25 was shot down, no attacks were made, only then strategic aviation was sent; it was impossible before, if they were there, as in the Moscow market? Something doesn’t like this sluggish phase, if we have already declared war on terrorists, they should be soaked under every snag and in every outhouse, and not then deal with retaliation.

          So, not only there are a handful. But before, everything was pulled by the weakened group of Hmemim + helicopters.

          And on Khmemim there is a queue of applications, if anything, because they are needed everywhere, in Aleppo, Latakia, in Homs (there are still battles for deposits), in Hama and near Palmyra.

          Because of this, in many respects, babakhs of all stripes feel like they were in 2014. They ride in columns on the roads during the day, they crowd calmly before attacks and, in general, do not deny themselves anything. That is, the current activity of the Air Force + Air Force of the SAR forces is approximately equal to the Air Force of the SAR in 2014.

          For example, a escort of blacks from the collapsed Anbar (Iraq) came out (although part of the Iraqis gouged, but in Syria there was no one to take it).

              So long ago. They, initially, did not go far from the city and conducted a mobile defense. And, after stopping the offensive on Tabka, the black part of the forces threw on the release of Manbij and advanced quite strongly. Part of the forces, however, was thrown to Palmyra and there the Syrian army immediately backed away (they surrendered the forward positions, then 11 blocks and positions on the heights + Elevator, now the Elevator has been recaptured / there are battles in it, depending on the source of the news).

              For example, Anna's report from the helicopter crash site, where the militia tells (that day the blacks knocked out the army, some surrounded them, from a height and rolled out 3 tanks - the turntables were working on them, as a result, the skyscraper was returned, 1 black tank was knocked out - it stands on neutral strip).

        There are no results yet.

        Well, and most importantly, from the place of action (the Elevator of Palmyra and the surrounding skyscrapers) for a good 50 km there is no one except the Blacks and the Syrian Army (government).

        By the way, the version with TOU from MO is not so incredible. Black released a ribat report, where BMPs are being harnessed with TOU. Prior to that, they had a single TOC, mostly transmitted higher in the hierarchy (and settled somewhere in Raqqa). Maybe these TOUs are from that broken convoy of the New Syrian Army, or maybe from somewhere else.

    Let's get specific. What steps exactly to take?

    Do you want specifics on Syria? Don't you know her? Banning the flights of any warplanes of countries that do not have permission from the UN and the Syrian government. Second, make it clear to the Turks that if they rock the boat towards the Syrian border, there will be a forceful response. Third, it is necessary to end all this bleating about a truce. the military began to work, no need to interfere with them. Let them calmly finish their job and not stop the advance of the advancing troops with incomprehensible and harmful truces. It was after the truce that ISIS had stingers from somewhere.
    To intensify strikes both qualitatively and quantitatively against terrorists. To increase the contingent of troops in Armenia, to the point of placing Iskander and multiple launch rocket systems on the border of Armenia with Turkey.
    Increase the number of the aerospace forces in Syria by using two more airfields, which were discussed not so long ago.
    Further, it is clear and precise to demand lists of names of all the leaders of the terrorists in Syria and beyond its borders from the United States, who are in charge of ISIS, with reference to the location of these geeks, clearly identifying for the whole world de facto, whose brainchild is ISIS.

    Sorry that it's late, but it's time for you to start thinking.
    1. How many died in the Chechen first and second, during the 08.08.08, similar to the NATO in Iarak, Afghanistan. Your proposed option for the Russian Federation to drag the conflict will only lead to the fact that a bunch of Russians will die for no X ....
    2. Conquered won further what will you take into the Russian Federation? It’s not ISIS that it’s not like another infection, Arabs are like that.
    3. When you write "Uralozungi" remember. There are hundreds and thousands of children left without fathers in your plans. And the fathers are not dumbbells sleeping at the bus stop, but the defenders of the Motherland.

        Turkey already had nuclear weapons, and in the USSR they produced not only needles but tractors and much more. The bowels of the earth belonged to the people! And then Khrushchev freaked out with nuclear weapons in Cuba!
        Today's sanctions against the Russian Federation are a childish prank! If the nut is tightened, and even more steeply than Iran, then in comparison with the DPRK we will bend on our sofas looking at the military secret in a couple of years.
        And on the topic.
        From a military point of view, this sortie with 2 Tu-22M3 detachments on a radius, using BM from medium, high altitudes, even according to the KBP, has a great price (meaning), except for reducing the resource, and does not have skills in SVZh (we look VKO at estimate 5). Don't talk about Hephaestus.
        Tu-22m3 is now a piece unit, and is planned on maps, in FGP, BR (packages) as carriers of CD with nuclear warheads, with the exception of the sea (because the MRA is no longer there).

          Now on the topic ... to be honest, it looks stupid. Not only are we driving the "long-range" to bomb it is not clear what, and we also inform the party that directly finances ISIS about our plans.
