The Key ...

 ... for this rather thoughtful video:

Are these:

1. Serially produced (6 hulls), apart from single project 661 (NATO's--Papa), project 705 SSNs of the Soviet Navy:

Fully titanium hull which made them the largest titanium made objects on the planet. It also made them due to slick hydrodynamics and bismuth reactor second fastest (after already mentioned single Papa sub) submarines in history. They have been also the most automated subs in history--with crew consisting primarily of 27 officers and a few NCOs. As you may have guessed it--technologies which went into such hulls, from purest of metallurgy to welding titanium elements in the vacuum chambers (some of them huge)--this was and still is the cutting edge technology which only Russia possesses. 

2. This:

A reborn, brand new TU-160M2 strategic bomber which consists of a huge number of titanium parts, including the most crucial--central load-bearing boom which is titanium and requires a state-of-the-art electronic-ray welding. As you may have guessed it--West's "experts" thought that it was impossible to restart the production--as always, they were wrong.

   

These are just but a few examples (not to mention titanium elements, including blades, of Russian PD-8, PD-14 and PD-35 jet engines) of Russia holding a premier position in a full spectrum of titanium expertise. Yes, it is so unglamorous, as you have guessed it, compared to "hi-tech" (/sarcasm) Teslas or Louis Vuitton overpriced junk for cultural riff-raff. But that is the REAL world and if you ask me, I can only speculate (wink, wink) on a dramatic role of titanium (together with advanced composites) playing role in Russia's missilery ranging from ICBMs to hypersonic systems. So, enjoy a thoughtful video. 

A Hint...

 ... which is not really a hint but an order))

Russia could place restrictions on the supply of certain strategically important raw materials to the global market, President Vladimir Putin stated on Wednesday. He said exports of nuclear fuel, metals, and minerals could all be affected. The move would be a response to Western attempts to block Russia’s access to certain foreign-made goods, Putin said. ... At a government meeting on Wednesday, Putin said that despite Western restrictions, Russia continues to supply some types of goods to the world market “in large quantities” and in some cases buyers are happily stockpiling Russian products. At a government meeting on Wednesday, Putin said that despite Western restrictions, Russia continues to supply some types of goods to the world market “in large quantities” and in some cases buyers are happily stockpiling Russian products. “Russia is a leader in terms of reserves of a number of strategic types of raw materials... Yet we are limited in the supply of a number of goods – maybe we should also think about certain restrictions,” the president said. He suggested that the proposed restrictions could include the country’s exports of uranium, titanium, and nickel, as well as “certain other goods.”“There is no need to do anything to harm ourselves… I am not saying that we need to do this tomorrow. But, in general, if this will not harm us, we could think about certain restrictions on supplies to foreign markets,” Putin suggested, noting that the significance of the potential move would be difficult to underestimate given the “importance of Russian raw materials.”

Obviously, two can play the game. And once these two words--titanium and nickel--have been uttered, some people at Boeing and Airbus had a bit of an anxiety attack. As per uranium--oh boy, some interesting dynamics may develop on this market, if you know I mean. So, it looks like Russia decided to shake "foundation" of the West some more.

How To Put It In Simpler Terms...

... regarding this thing: 

The US-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems, known as ATACMS, will allow Ukrainian forces to target Russia’s Crimean Peninsula “more effectively,” the New York Times has reported, citing senior Pentagon officials. Washington secretly sent Kiev an unspecified number of longer-range ATACMS missiles last month, US officials confirmed earlier this week, after several outlets claimed that Kiev has already begun using the new weapon against Russian targets far behind the frontlines.

Ah yes, the water is wet, the fire is hot, and Biden Administration lives vicariously through Kiev regime. Russia gives the number of new delivery of ATACMS to be around 100 and most of those will be used in a desperate attempt to damage the Crimean Bridge. This is as far as Pentagon's military competencies extend, but what you are going to do? Simple: more of 404 will be taken by Russia for creation of a buffer (or cordon sanitaire), as Peskov quoted Putin today (in Russian). So, that means a complete removal of 404 cannon fodder from the left bank of Dnepr and, possibly, some territories on the right one. Which ones? It is for the General Staff to decide. Maybe 404 can ask Pentagon to provide those oil rigs with missiles and float them on Dnepr to deter Russian Army? Great operational thinking it will be. I am sure this plan will stun Kremlin and General Staff. 

To demonstrate, however, how "principled" combined West is:

MONTREAL/OTTAWA, April 23 (Reuters) - Canada has granted Airbus a waiver to allow it to use Russian titanium in its manufacturing after becoming the first Western government to ban supplies of the strategic metal in its latest package of measures triggered by the war in Ukraine. The move gives Airbus flexibility in its Canadian plants and is expected to allay concerns that its core operations could be hit by effectively banning the import to Canada of its European-built jets that rely most heavily on lightweight titanium.

You see, those people still live in la-la-land in which they do not recognize that in Russia they are looked at as lowlifes (not Airbus, the governments) and Russia merely sticks to contract obligations across the whole spectrum of industries, from oil, gas to titanium and other goodies, such as uranium, among many others. Combined West simply cannot declare war on Russia. No, not just for military reasons--only graduates of Top Gun: Maverick school of advanced military studies believe in the US military might--for economic ones, because that would make any contracts null and void and the "transition" from Russian energy to primarily agrarian and touristy societies in EU is not completed yet. The US tries to avoid such fate. Of course even the US is being forced to live on what it earns, but that will come slightly (very slightly) later. This activity by Russia is merely upholding her renomee as a reliable partner in any endeavor. 

 

Speaking of which, Evgeny Super and Nataliya Kirillova speak (sadly only in Russian) with people from one of the Russian companies which produces fully all components for controls of CNC machine centers. 

Remarkably, as it turned out, Russia produces all necessary hardware for both CNC and other multi-axis manipulators (aka "robots"). Russia is now in pursuit of her own fully independent software which will be on par with the best Western analogues. It is all about cooperation, because Russian firms in general have most of those constituent parts already available. Well, remember who Russia's PM Mikhail Mishustin is--he has a graduate degree in design of machining complexes. This is what "Titanium" firm makes:

The brains of machining centers (up to 6-axis). Well, it is not the first time for Russia to go it alone, and she usually succeeds.

Now to a very serious situation: two lowlifes who wore the uniform of Russian Army, evidently committed atrocity by executing seven people in three of the villages in Kherson region. The shells at the places of execution matched shells which those two used, they already admitted the guilt. They have been arraigned and transferred to Military Police, the investigation is ongoing and we may know more details as times passes. Remarkably, one of them has been... imprisoned twice before: once for manufacturing and distribution of drugs and second time... for murder. Do I sense a putrid stink of Wagner? (in Russian). Now comes the second issue--this all is a belch of a liberal Criminal Code pushed through by West's agents of influence, including moratorium on death sentence, in 1990s and of the practice of organized crime group aka Wagner recruiting criminals from prisons: Prigozhin loved his own kind. But let's wait for more details. These two murderers should face a firing squad, or be hanged in one of the villages they committed this crime.
