Opener As part of the Russian Defence Ministry Board in Moscow, Russian defence minister Shoigu said on 21 April that “the frigates will be the main combat ships of the Navy.” The Russian navy commander, Adm Vladimir Korolev, in an interview with “Krasnaya Zvezda” outlined the scale of the presence of the Russian fleet on the world’s oceans.

Part 1 – News Update on North Korea – naval activity Naturally any significant deployment of the US Navy in the region gets the attention of the Chinese & Russian navies, especially in the intelligence gathering field. No exception here and it is likely to be the Russian Navy SSV-208 Kurily. Although you might only have heard about it this week, frankly it isn’t a new event, but the
The Pentagon’s more aggressive military approach Here is a short timeline of the Pentagon taking the presidential commander-in-chief power from Trump. The ultimatums came on March 1. On March 1, 2017 the Atlantic’s article “Trump and the Generals” announced that Trump’s military leaders “increasingly sound like they’re working for a different president altogether.” They complained about the lack of funding, even after Trump pledged to give them additional $54 billion

The West is currently playing a game of brinkmanship with Russia over Syria, based on the “fast and loose” principle it seems. The US Navy – eastern Mediterranean “We prepositioned forces (the 2 US Navy ships) so that if there was an order received we could have that quick response.” US senior defense official.

While we all struggle with the deep state, and very few governments openly express their opposition to the US crazies in the UN, things are working the way they should: The 5th East Forum of the EU and the EEU 5th East Forum of the EU and the Eurasian Economic Union in Berlin adopted a Memorandum of creation an economic area ( a pathway) from Lisbon to Vladivostok and beyond.
Another Naval Brief- an update, only because it seems that at times, when a Brief gets published, something spectacular happens shortly afterwards. US destroyers “USS Ross” (DDG 71) & “USS Porter”, (DDG 78) were the US Navy warships that launched Tomahawk strikes at the Shayrat airbase in the Homs region of Syria. Yet, more than half did not reach their targets. In a nutshell, $88.5m worth of

Once upon a time, a few Russian guys built a super all terrain vehicle and dubbed it Sherp. Sherp is an ATV with superb off-road performance, with no one else even coming close. Happy and excited about building such a cool thing, Russian guys invited the Western experts to share a joy of this engineering marvel.

On the last day of March my true love came to me and asked for the Russian (Polish) speaking extras to act as the “villagers” being invaded by the US military. What notably absent here is the demand for some Ukrainian or Belorussian speaking actors, even though they might get the migrant workers from Ukraine mostly.
