It Is Important. R.I.P. Charlie.

When this news are reported all over the world it shows. TASS reports (in Russian), and everyone else. He was a nice guy of Rolling Stones. I never was INTO The Rolling Stones, but Soviet mignon (meaning 4 songs, not LP) in 1970 (yes, ninety seventy) captivated me as it did everyone else who were leaving a childhood. Excellent jazz drummer and great artist in his own right, in the times when talent mattered, he will be remembered as one of the greatest of generation which made UK cool as it did a great modern music. Globally.

Those whose heart didn't react to this sadness--go fuck yourself.  Because it is a proper day to Paint It Black. 

And don't tell me that if you were in band you didn't try to copy this intro.  I don't even want to go into the Full Metal Jacket by Stanley Kubrick and Vietnam.

Here's the News(c).

Apart from a very sad news of Charlie Watts of Rolling Stones passing away-RIP Charlie-the day started with some "bang". 

1. Borisov confirmed that construction of SSGNs of project 885M Yasen will continue beyond the number which is under current contract (in Russian): 9 subs in the first batch, 4 of them already completed or nearing completion and 5 being under construction. Per my humble opinion--a very wise decision since Yasens' performance and modernization potential are impressive. 

2. Official contract for 3M22 Zircon is signed, immediately following the signing of contract for Kinzhals (in Russian), and that is everything one needs to know about the development of Zircon--it works. 

3. First batch of serial T-14 Armata MBT has been delivered to the army and deliveries will continue in 2022. Evidently they finished polishing the system. 

4. The rest... Will see in coming days. 

Meanwhile Russia, China, Vietnam, many others do real Olympics--tank biathlon. NATO and the US have been invited many times to take part--declined. 

Some say this is the most Russian thing ever. Well, Russians love tanks, no doubt about it. It is definitely fun for participants and spectators type of sport. I will try to learn more about this robot which is the sentinel for check points Robo-C (in Russian) later. I would hate to end up in situations like these:

You knew, didn't you, that this clip was coming, right? LOL. Damn, Ronnie Cox was always such a proverbial villain in all movies.
