To Fight Who?

 With what? 

Just Yesterday ...

 ... Garland and I discussed it. Here is today's issue of the Red Star.

This is the revolution. 

The New Economics of Precision-Guided Weapons

The importance of such unmanned systems is not only determined by range. For modern warfare, the cost of one high-precision defeat plays an increasingly important role. The ability to use a more massive and relatively inexpensive means where a classic aviation missile was previously required is changing the economics of using high-precision weapons. Along with range and accuracy, serial production, the availability of various carriers and the possibility of mass use are important characteristics.

In other words, not only the qualities of an individual munition are becoming important, but also the number of high-precision effects that industry and aviation are able to provide for the same amount of resources as before. That is, there is a clear trend towards reducing the cost of guided weapons without a significant decrease in their effectiveness.

"Rostec State Corporation today produces a whole set of high-precision guided weapons for the front. These are the Iskander operational-tactical missile systems, the Tornado-S and Sarma MLRS with guided rockets, the Krasnopol guided artillery shells, a wide range of loitering ammunition, including various models of Kub drones of the Kalashnikov Concern. The new jet UAVs will significantly complement this portfolio, providing long-range high-precision destruction of targets at a lower cost than traditional missiles. In the near future, these drones should become a standard tool for front-line aviation along with well-proven bombs with UMPK," Rostec summed up.

Again, when I say that the US lost the arms race I mean it not only technologically, which is the case. In terms of quantities and especially in terms of stand-off weaponry the US doesn't even register anymore as serious power with its anemic production (even if the surge succeeds) of the only two serious stand off weapons in its arsenal--BGM 109 Tomahawk and AGM-158 JASSM. Their combined production is a tiny fraction of a new types of weapons such as Geranium-4, 5 and Banderol and Dan'. New optronic (machine vision) channels on all those weapons and likely appearance of active radar homing on them turn those into a deadly shoot-and-forget stand-off weaponry produced in thousands per month (as in 30 days)--US simply has no industrial capacity to match no matter what. Per Europe--nobody is going to fight it conventionally if those cretins will decide to attack (with what?)--they will cease to exist in under 45 minutes. 

To Those Who ...

 ... still follow West fanboys' and "veterans" propaganda. About tanks, which were supposed to become obsolete "because of drones"(c) and about what's the deal with T-14 Armata. Well, apart from taking part in SMO, Armata continues to evolve (in Russian).

And new modification will have improved anti-drone defense and other gizmos including the use of new munitions, not least ATGMs capable to shoot down helicopters and, naturally, drones. 

Garland and I ...

 ... live in 40 minutes. 

Guys With French Language ...

... can you please confirm (I understood only "blackout") what is being told to French population? 

I just want to make sure that this is correct. 

Macron has instructed prefects to prepare for a possible attack [by Russia] and for a potential widespread power outage at the city, department, or regional level.

- Imagine a scenario where traffic lights no longer work, schools are plunged into darkness, the metro, trains, and elevators come to a complete standstill, there is no mobile phone service, and the internet is down. Hospitals immediately switch to diesel generators – and all that remains is to hope that they will, of course, function. This is like a disaster scenario. The government must identify critical infrastructure and the most vulnerable facilities. In other words, we are talking about facilities essential for daily life: power plants, water supply systems, railway networks, airports, as well as French factories and defense industry enterprises that produce weapons and military equipment. In particular, this includes enterprises that are involved in supporting Ukraine.

I am sure France will resist "Russian aggression" like  ... two weeks? 

In Response To Jerry Springer ...

 ... video of BiBi and DJT. Please, somebody, I am lazy, translate this to English))) "Valera was fucking washed away"(c) 

Lowbrow you say? Hell, yes!

A Very Interesting ...

 ... statement from FSB (in Russian). Some interesting points. 

Here are those points: 

- British intelligence services have always used certain categories of Russian citizens as a tool for political pressure in the hybrid war against Russia. After the start of the special military operation, Britain intensified its efforts to consolidate the so-called Russian opposition abroad.

- The FSB has called Russian citizens who have left the country and are willing to speak out on the side of Kyiv "Vlasovites 2.0." However, such activities are impossible without the coordination of intelligence services. Behind the facade of "self-organization" lies a controlled political project (one remembers the joy over "self-organization" during the recent elections of a single-voiced extremist).

- The goal is London's attempt to create the illusion that an alternative is emerging within the Russian emigration, capable of replacing the authorities in the Russian Federation.

"Individuals who have decided to link their fate with London and who desire Russia's defeat are known to counterintelligence by name. Their fate is predetermined. We will not allow a repeat of Khrushchev's mistakes with the amnesty for Bandera supporters," the FSB stated.

Some strong wording. Especially in the last sentence. Per Britain, UK, in the wake of her departure from the global stage as a powerful state, has convinced herself that somehow she is great at international intrigue and intel operations. Whatever it takes to alleviate the pain from sun setting down on London, plus, of course, wide-spreading degeneracy from inbreeding among its ruling class. So, they try. No good at war but very good at self-promotion.
