... Pokrovsk has been liberated--now it is Krasnoarmeisk--and now the tedious job of mopping up starts.
If that hasn't been enough, reports are--85% of Volchansk are under the control of the Russian Army. I remind you again--this is Logistic Function. Or as they say on the street--first slowly and then all at once.
... "insertion" of GUR "spetsnaz" near Pokrovsk. I kid you not, I mean it--it is in the news. Then Russians did their own "insertion" of a huge steel dildo up the asses of those 404 "special forces". As you might expect, it ended up the same way as yesterday's one. But now we have a video from there.
Yeah, NATO "training" shows. Some rumors circulate now that actual number of surrounded VSU in Krasnoarmeisk alone is around 9,000. At least some of them started to surrender--the rest will be killed. Meanwhile Azov Nazis refused butcher Syrsky's order on relieving those sods in Krasnoarmeisk. Sure, they know that Russians don't take Azov terrorists POWs.
Warning: for fans of theory "China can do no wrong"--stop reading here. We, meanwhile, will continue--these are orders for existing aircraft, which are fully Russian. Savelyev's rank speaks for itself. And here is the news. Second (fully Russian) MC-21 joined certification flights and here is the key:
Rostec expects that deliveries of the MS-21 to airlines will begin in 2026. To increase the production of the Tu-214, production capacity is being modernized and increased, as well as certification of modern Russian systems, which will be equipped with new serial machines, continues. The first deliveries of Russian Tu-214s are expected in 2025.
So, here it is.
This is one of the newest Tu-214s.
Now, I wanted to warn you all, that there is a shitload of all kinds of UTube channels (like Altitude Addicts) which are nothing more than propaganda outlets likely run by 404 and which compile videos from Russian web and report all kinds of BS about "problems" in otherwise absolutely normal process of modernization of facilities and certification of Russian aircraft. Beware, those sell BS to you.
One of the examples. Air Marshal Anil Chopra writes a good piece about India and Russia agreeing to establish JV for building SSJs for India's market.
Expect now (not in comments--the BS started to be spewed there immediately, no surprise here) all kinds of "work" by very many "experts" trying to misrepresent everything about this strategic move, which immediately hits Bombardier upper tier (known now as Airbus-220 series) line and Embraer E-Jets. This is huge. Of course, all kinds of sabotage efforts starts now. But here is a trick--SSJ is FULLY Russian-made, from avionics, to APU, to PD-8 engines, to systems and neither USSR nor Russia ever sabotaged its long relations with India, while A-220 or Embraer are NOT really fully Canadian or Brazilian aircraft--both of them are a mix of European and American technologies and we all know what it means to trust these guys.
Expect a huge butthurt, like from this loser with financial background who cannot resign himself to the reality of him knowing nothing about warfare, technology and strategy. He is coping, hard and his butthurt oozes through his writing.
Yes, Russians also "stole" hypersonic technology from the US. But here is what this cretin doesn't know. He doesn't know three Ks, KKK--and NO, it is not what you think it is, but ask any Russian military-engineering professional what KKK (Three Ks) stand for and he will respond as did Mikhail Kovalchuk, the President of the famed Kurchatov Institute.
Three days ago, Kovalchuk, speaking to students showed them a famous photo of three Russian geniuses, KKK--Korolev, Kurchatov and Keldysh--from their 1958 meeting where these three giants agreed that nuclear energy MUST become the backbone of Soviet/Russian development for space. That's how Burevestnik was born. Somebody has to tell this Stephen Bryen to cope harder and look at US' "magnificent" developments in missilery--you know, like supersonic and hypersonic weapons. But yes, Russians stole everything from the US. Didn't you know, Americans were supposed to be first in space, damn Russkies--they always steal the best ideas.
In conclusion, the set of pens issued to mark the occasion of Khabarovsk submarine being launched, while not necessarily accurate, provides nonetheless some reference.
And that tells us that (upper, white pen) that Khabarovsk's design looks awfully like that of pr. 955A Borei-class SSBN, which makes it much larger than was stated initially and now the information about it states that it can carry 12+ Poseidons. I am sure, Russians also stole this idea, if you know what I mean)) Have a nice rest of your weekend.
Special forces, snipers, Chuck Norris and other SEALs and SAS. Plus "near-peer" delusion, difficult to explain that US military is not even "near-peer" anymore and if not for nukes wouldn't be considered a real continental war force.
