For Those Who Still Don't Get It.

Terrorism (three waves of UAVs at defenseless vocational college with kids inside) and increased number of NATO's hospital planes in Rzeszow (after especially serious strikes on Dnepropetrovsk) are directly related. This is what NATO does. So, for all these "vengeance strikes" specialists--here is how decisions are made in Russia. 

MOSCOW, May 22 — RIA Novosti. Vladimir Putin discussed with members of the Russian Security Council the strike by Ukrainian militants on the Starobilsk Pedagogical College in the LPR. "Today we have a question related to work in the field of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I would like to start with what I have already talked about today at a meeting with graduates of the first stream of the Time of Heroes - with the terrorist attack of the Kiev junta in the Lugansk People's Republic," he said. The President asked the participants of the meeting to give their assessments or proposals on this topic. Earlier today, Putin instructed the Ministry of Defense to prepare proposals for a response to the attack, and the Foreign Ministry to tell the international community about the crime by Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It really becomes nauseating reading the same thing over and over again on discussion  boards: Russia must ..., Russia should ... etc. Yes, Russia's Security Council is composed of idiots who don't know what to do and yes, they are about to give up/s. Get a grip--terrorism against Russia and Russian civilians will continue--this is what the combined West is. Once long-range threat will be removed--and it will be--sleeper cells, blowing of schools, government offices et al. sabotage of railway will continue. This is for SK, FSB, MVD and other structures to handle. They are really good at it--it is just that you do not see and hear much about their work and an enormous number of terrorist acts they prevented. 

In related news, in Kharkov Oblast the mandatory mobilization of women has started. Deadly PR actions are designed for brainwashed hoi polloi to concentrate on that, not on the fact that they are running out of cannon fodder. Per Europe--this is who they are, Fourth Reich. It will be destroyed. How? Leave it to professionals who know dozens of orders of magnitude more than any of us does. I repeat again for those with comprehension issues--Russia IS prepared for the war with NATO, not with 404. Those who perpetrate these acts like attack on children, be them American, British, German, Polish, CIA, MI6, BND or whatever--they will be hunted down either as individuals or as units and they will be killed. Simple as ... 

They Are Very Good Students ...

 ... of their American masters. They attacked dormitory of the vocational college in Starobelsk (LNR) housing 85 students. 35 children are wounded--different degrees. Some are still under rubble. 

That's NATO's "way of war". 

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ...

 ... won Gagarin Cup. Vladimir Putin already congratulated the Club. As you can see yourself hungry destitute Yaroslavites celebrate. 

All emaciated from hunger and sanctions. I am sure some herpes from BBC will report uprising in Yaroslavl. 

Yeah, It Is Not Just About ...

 ... governance (with Israel owning institutes of power in the US). 

Nope, it is about more than that--it is about erasing American identity and it proceeds apace. Americans must become Israelites or cease to exist as a historical community of primarily (not exclusively) European offspring. 

While Russian Economy Collapses;))

Russia continues her commercial airline assault. Here is from Kazan two days ago. For now just mockup, which means it is already in works for real. 

Enter Tupolev-454. Yes, it is Andrei Tupolev's portrait on the tail. Alaska Airlines smiled). A bit of hype (nothing goes without hype nowadays) by stating that this is "a response to B-787 and A-350". The key is, of course, PD-26 jet engine. This motor will give this aircraft the range of up to 15,000 km. 

As you might expect the final decision, made in September last year,  by Vladimir Putin on accelerated completion of PD-26 (it uses "hot" core from PD-35) gave birth, mostly by all kinds of the so called "experts", to all kinds of BS which has nothing to do with constant acceleration of work on all types of Russian commercial aircraft. Now fully certified and in serial production PD-14 will have PD-8 added soon, with PD-8 finishing certification (all documents and data have been submitted for expertise) and PD-26 next for tests on actual airframe. Mind you--all of it, including FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) is fully Russian-built. Well, you may find a capacitor or two made in China there. 

So, it is official now Tupolev design bureau is officially IN for this interesting not so much race between Yakovlev (MC-21), Sukhoi SJ-100, Ilyushin (IL-114) but, let's call it a competition, which begins to look very much as good ol' Soviet days with each of the design bureaus given their own segment where they have to deliver. They all are now under the aegis of the UAC--United Aircraft Corporation, which in itself is a part of a technological monster of Rostec.   

Meanwhile, many continue to marvel at this aircraft)

Again, as Andrei Tupolev stated--only beautiful aircraft fly well (c). Tu-454 looks good, very good. 

Everything Is Driven ...

 ... by PR by people with zero understanding of the tactical-technical and operational realities of modern warfare. So, they lament and come up with BS. 

Australia’s controversial decision to transfer 49 retired M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) to Ukraine remains a source of contention among Western allies. That’s because the performance of those older Australian tanks has highlighted the weaknesses of MBTs in modern combat more generally, and, specifically, has shown that the vaunted Abrams MBT might not be the king of battle any longer.

Two points:

1. MBT is "weakened" in NATO (US) only whose staff structures do not understand that 404 poured Niagara of military BS into their ears, which tells you about a very low intellectual level of those staffers who missed the whole point that if anything else MBTs resurrected themselves as a critical element of modern battlefield and Russian tanks can take punishment no NATO tank can. But then again--NATO was building its fighting doctrine based on fairy tales from defeated Wehrmacht generals. I already elaborated on this matter here. 

2. Abrams IS vaunted, much talked up. It is not a good tank(c) per Colonel Macgregor who commanded a regiment of those. There is very little military (combat) value in blowing away backward monkey model (basic ballistic computer and basic optics) Iraqi T-72As and totally another meeting something like T-72B3 let alone T-90V Proryv which are fully netcentric systems with excellent optronic suite, comms and most importantly great gun and ability to launch ATGMs through it. 

So, it all comes down to PR and carefully constructed US military mythology which has very little if anything to do with the reality--only with this: 

Michael Bay has been tapped to direct a movie centered around Operation Epic Fury at Universal Pictures, the studio confirmed Wednesday. The untitled film tells the true story of a massive rescue effort to save two pilots downed during the April 2026 attacks in Iran. The film adapts a book from Mitchell Zuckoff coming in 2027 from Harper Collins.

Well, you get my drift, right? 

Nima and Me...

 ... live in 45 minutes.
