"Peaceful" Ground Troops And ...

 ... projecting. Why helicopters now are part of the front-line air defense in SMO--because they are very effective. Iran's Mi-28s. Bortnikov about UK. 

Air Defense Drone Yolka ...

 ... in action over Belgorod. Destroying one of the 404 drones. 

Yolka (Елка) in Russian is a pine tree. The time between development and tests of the new weapon systems and their introduction to the units has been compressed tremendously. This is one of the demonstrations with Yolka. 

About Starlink.

In SMO. A reminder. In order for you to enter the radio-communications room either on the ship or say command post of battalion level, you have to have Top Secret and even Special Significance clearance to even enter there. 

This, of course, is unknown to most YouTube "military experts", who never have been around any serious C2 structures and whose technical and command horizon is, at best, that of a grunt. That is why they didn't understand that C4 is an extremely complex elaborate system of communications networks NONE of which has anything to do with Starlink. Here is one such element, among very many others, of satcomms of Russian military, but do not try to explain it to a crowd of military shysters who never "graduated" beyond the visuals of R-187 Azart (excellent radio for lower tactical level--squad, platoon) without even knowing its full potential. 

In terms of higher tactical-operational level comms these info-shysters have no clue, including a variety of systems, from satellites' based to an elaborate system of retranslators, including based on drones, to a system of comms based on such satellite constellation as Kupol of SPRN capable of controlling Russia's nuclear forces. Not to mention communication networks for strategic missile submarines on patrol. That is why these creeps couldn't wrap their brains around the fact that Russian military is NOT dependent on any Starlink. 

For Those Who ...

 ... "buried" tanks after watching too many videos with drones. Here is a work by Russian tank platoon (T-80 and T-72B3). 

ROK (Recon-Fire Complex) at work: 404 armored column tries to "attack", it is detected (naturally), identified and targeting is provided, tank platoon (3 tanks usually, + 1 could be a platoon CO tank) rolls out. First hit at the leading vehicle, stopping of the column, after that just regular combat work. All while correcting fire from different vantage points by UAVs. Keep in mind what tank IS? It is essentially a self-propelled gun with better protection than usual ... self-propelled guns. To demonstrate--recently one of the Russian T-90Ms sustained ... 43 (forty three!!) strikes by 404 drones, it stopped ONLY after rolling over anti-tank mine. Later it was evacuated by BREM. 

Now to this: 

The Western media has abandoned the principles of fair journalism when covering the Ukraine conflict, Russia said during an informal meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday. Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Anna Evstigneeva said foreign reporters created “a positive and even romanticized image” of the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev, a series of events that Moscow says laid the groundwork for the current conflict.

They didn't abandon anything--they never had those principles in the first place. Western legacy media are a collection of war criminals, war mongers, a cover up for pedophiles and other Satanists among "elites". That's who they are, top-bottom. Today it is up to alternative media to expose what has been done to modern West and who rules it. Here is an example. 

An open Zionist who serves Israel under the guise of the US "ambassador" pretends that he is a diplomat--he is not. He is a brainwashed by the heresy of Scofield so called Bible fanatic and Tucker exposed him. 

Now, I am very busy today, so it is an Open Thread of sorts. Go at it. 

Interesting Report ...

... on IL-114. First batch will be delivered to customers in Summer of this year. 

Sorry for audio interference. English auto dubbing is available. 

Typical Medvedev.

LOL)) Now imagine this guy becoming the President of Russia. 

His chances are very high, not to mention the fact that he knows the job well, he used to be the President himself and he is a second man in hierarchy in Moscow. The only thing which we have to expect is the endorsement by Putin before the next election cycle. 

Speaking of which--announcement: for people who continue to bring here all kinds of fantasies by Helmer. I will start banning people, Helmer sells a complete BS about Russia's military-political power of whose MO he knows nothing but whatever rumors he collects hanging around some people of note. There are no "Peskovites" in Kremlin--Peskov is nobody but a talking head who says whatever is told him to be said. He has no political clout, no real power and could be replaced the moment he stops saying and doing things which are in line with a strategy of military-political top (Военно-Политическое Руководство) of Russia. For those who still don't get the message--here is the list of people in Russia's Security Council from Kremlin. You may notice that Sergei Ivanov is not there anymore, yes--he was removed. But that is where political and strategic decision-making power of Russia is concentrated. 

Ah, Not Again.

 Not this kindergarten by DJT. 

WASHINGTON—President Trump is weighing an initial limited military strike on Iran to force it to meet his demands for a nuclear deal, a first step that would be designed to pressure Tehran into an agreement but fall short of a full-scale attack that could inspire a major retaliation.

He either tries to BS his way into "sudden strike" or, indeed, somebody told him that "major retaliation" by Iran may mean major casualties for the US and Israel. And WHAT nuclear deal when, in accordance to DJT himself, he "destroyed" Iranian nuclear program? Right? Right?
