Earlier this week the German Stern asked a tongue-in-cheek question which I want to try to answer.
Was will Moskau mit so vielen Panzern?
I don’t know German, but this looks to me like they want to know why Moscow needs so many tanks.
Putin lässt 3000 Panzer aus dem Depot modernisieren
Wladimir Putin hat bereits 2500 T-14 Armata Kampfpanzer bestellt, nun lässt er noch einmal 3000 T-80 komplett modernisieren. Fragt sich nur: Was will Moskau mit so vielen Panzern?
Putin ordered to modernize 3000 tanks stored in the tank depots.
Vladimir Putin has already ordered production of 2500 T-14 Armata main battle tank, now he can get 3000 T-80 by completely modernizing them. Question: What does Moscow do with so many tanks?
Russia’s Ministry of Defense had ordered 2500 T-14 Armada tanks, and now president Putin has ordered to modernize the 3000 T-80. Right now there are 550 T-80s tanks in use, about 3000 tanks are being stored. T-80 uses a gas engine, not the diesel engines like newer T-90 and T-14. That’s why T-80 perform better in extremely cold and hot temperatures. The fire power of the modernized T-80 will be very close to the fire power of T-90 tanks.
And each tank Aramata will be equipped with a Pterodactyl drone . The drone is designed to follow the tank everywhere by being connected to the tank by a cable. It’s made from the last generation of composite materials. Time of operation is practically unlimited.
The German magazine asks why Russia needs that many tanks. I think it’s a rhetorical question. Russia can never have too many tanks, just like a woman can never have too many pearl necklaces.
Here is an opinion of one of the Russian commentators:
“… if Germans insist on the detailed answer. Russia needs 6000 more tanks because…
” 1. Genocide of Russians in Ukraine organized by Europe and America
- Explosion of a Russian passenger plane over Sinai
- NATO tanks on the Russian borders
- NATO bases around Russia
- Occupation of the Baltic, Poland and Romania by the US, UK and Germany
- Economic and financial sanctions against Russia
- As an answer to the Russopbobic propaganda which is much larger that the Goebbels propaganda before the German and fascist European countries invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22nd, 1941
- Because of the multipronged hybrid war against Russia by almost 50 western countries
- For many more crimes committed by Western nations against the Russian nation, including the illegal dissolution of the USSR, pillaging of Russia and fifteen years of terror on the Caucasus.
That is why if the US and EU members will make one move, first they will be turned into a radioactive glass covered wilderness, and then Russian tanks will go over it reaching London and leveling the Westminster and the Buckingham palace to the ground and then they will do the same to Washington. Not because Russians are bad, mean, or evil, but because enough is enough.”
In essence, the sanctions have shown that Russia doesn’t need Europe at all. Europe with its internal problems, with its zombie monarchies, and endless demands for colonial rule, with its 500 year plan of expansion into Russia’s territory and forcefully converting Russia people into half-slaves. The fate of Ukrainians in Poland now is a bright illustration of the age of new slavery in Europe. The West now tries to stall the development of the Eurasian science and technology markets. Europeans have to settle down and realize that they are just one of the guys, and not a shiny city on a hill surrounded by the sea of Russian, Chinese and Indian savages.
The West is currently unable to continue the centuries long rampage of the rest of the world and that’s why now it has resorted to the sabotages and stalling of every attempt to improve the lives of people in the world outside of the West.
How do they do it?
- US, UK and France blocked Russia’s initiative “to extend the UN SC anti-terrorist sanction regime to the groups Ahrar al-Sham and Jaysh al-Islam acting in Syria”
- Moscow hopes that no practical moves will follow after the EU Parliament’s resolution to counter propaganda of third countries, otherwise counter measures will be taken.
Here is an excellent analysis of the role of Russia Today (RT) for the world with some very revealing info graphics. In just one week RT TV gets 1,823, 000,000 viewers and the RT TV Tube channel gets 4 billion viewers. It’s more than all the leading European and American news channels combined.
- Defense Ministry: US Department of State calls for hindering Russia’s struggle against IS. The US Department of State argues that other countries should refrain from providing support for Russian tankers that deliver fuel to the Russian aerospace group in Syria, Mark Toner said earlier
Russia’s defense Ministry states that the US’ calls for other countries to prevent RUAF fuel tankers from making port calls is the sabotage of Russia’s efforts to defeat terrorism in Syria. By now Russia has accomplish what all the Western coalition members couldn’t: after one year more then 2000 settlements have been returned to peaceful life with all the necessary government services functioning and providing people with necessary support. 80 terror armed band formations have been eradicated. Hundreds of thousands Syrians have returned to their homes and started rebuilding their lives, said spokesman for the MOD General Konashenkov. But the Obama administration is calling the other country to prevent Russian fuel tankers from having free passage is a clear prove that the fight with terrorists has never been on the US agenda.
- Despite the Western countries’ efforts to support terrorism in the Middle East and in Africa, the Russian president’s special representative for the Middle East and Africa Mikhail Bogdanov and African Union’s Commissioner for Peace and Security Smail Chergui marked on Thursday a need to boost joint efforts in the fight against terrorism and extremism,
The Western sanctions, as we all know, are boosting Russia’s internal industry and agricultural production. The numbers are not out yet, but if I am not mistaken, president Putin mentioned that growth might be 2.7% for 2016.
2016 is turning out to be a record for the Russian economy in many ways. Just to name a few, exports of made-in-Russia laundry machines reached almost one million units from January to September, which is 2.2 times higher than the previous year and being sold to Poland, Romania, Italy, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belorussia.
- Roscosmos reports about successful testing of the functional enrichment of GLONAS modules.
- High-precision ephemeris and time information of the GLONASS system and other GNSS (global navigation satellite systems)provided by ITS EVI ( СВО ЭВИ), intended for the civilian consumers of high-accuracy navigation in online and a posteriori (given the accumulated data over a period of time) when carrying out geodetic, cartographic works, fundamental scientific studies and other works requiring high precision ephemeris and timing information of GNSS. At the moment the error location in the state geocentric coordinate system using data from ITS EVIE is 0.3 m, the posterior mode is 0.05 m.
- In Samara technological university students are building a 3-D printer that will print stone objects… on Moon. the process will be completely automated and will allow to make building blocks for the Russian settlements there.
- Russian scientists developed silicon mini disks of digital information storage each disk is 1 terabytes memory, but it can be increased to 100 terabytes. These disks can last for hundreds of years.
- St. Petersburg center of Emergency medicine successfully tested it’s new non-cellular bio implant that allow to rebuild burned patient’s skin. It’s being grown from the patient personal cells.
An amazing project KOSMOS 360 or Space 360 on RT
1957 – First Sputnik satellite goes into space. 1961 – First man lifts off into space. 1971 – First space station is built. There have been many achievements in the decades of space exploration. In 2016 RT, in partnership with Russia’s space agency Roscosmos and S.P Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation “Energia”, brings the cosmic experience to the next level – with the first-ever 360 content from space.
The first ever panoramic view of earth from the international space station
This is an absolutely new for humanity way to explore outer space by the means of a panoramic video. It means that people are able to see what the astronauts are seeing in real time.
Needless to say that the project is being completely ignored by the Western media.
Another unique comparative interactive map project developed by the Russian designer firm called Art Lebedev
This tool is capable to completely change the way you view the world.
Compare, for example, the territory of Ukraine and Russia.
This week Russian science received its most unexpected recognition in Russian politics.
President Putin has offered professor Dmitry Medvedev to fully dedicate himself to the science.
During the televised meeting with the president of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yevgeny Fortov, president Putin turned to him and questioned the academy’s election of senior government officials as its members.
“Some of our colleagues from the Presidential Administration, from the Ministry of Education, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from the Defense Ministry, from the Federal Security Service FSB, and some other departments, took part in the elections to the RAN (Russia’s Academy of Science) and were elected themselves.
“I have a question to you and other representatives of the Academy of Science. Why did you do this? Are they such great scientists that the Academy of Sciences cannot get by without them? And my second question: what should I do now?”
“What was the second question?” asked Fortov.
“What should I do now?” repeated Putin.
A startled Fortov chewed on his tongue, and started mumbling that all those officials had permission from their bosses to run for the academy.
“That’s not what I am asking. Are they such great scientists that they have to be academicians?”
When Fortov began explaining the officials had met the academy’s criteria for election, Putin interrupted him by saying: “You are not answering my question. But, I will do it for you. They are all great scientists…Yes?”
“They deserve to be elected.. [as the members of the Academy of Science]” said Fortov.
“It means that they all are great scientists,” said Putin.
“Well… that’s what it appeared to be,” said Fortov.
“Then I won’t torture you with my second question. I think that I have to give them am opportunity to dedicate themselves to science, because judging by everything their scientific activity is much more important than carrying out some kind of routine administrative task within the executive branch.”
Talking to journalists after the meeting Putin said: “It’s the element of discipline, or lack thereof. I would like to see the discipline among the government officials to be at the highest level.”
“This applies to all without exception,” Putin said, answering a question, whether this thesis will be extended on the governors.
You might ask what the prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has to do with all this.
Historical and medical facts about D. Medvedev
On October 2012, he has become a professor of the Dagestan Academy of medical science. In his acceptance speech he promised to teach scientist in Dagestan how to handle government subsidized projects.
We will see shortly if there is any momentum to this RAN meeting.
Thank you for your time
Yours truly
Scott

EP Resolution Against Russian Media ‘Beginning of the End of the EU’
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201611251047813647-resolution-end-eu/
“They do not want Russian position to be heard and do not want an opposite opinion to exist…. If the European Union is afraid of a different opinion, it is the beginning of the end of this system,” Dmitrovic said.”
It basically comes down to the fact that the Jewish owned/run media, the zio-gay media, can not survive in an open environment where their hasbara is subject to factual analysis and where real news gathering services exist. Their immediate strategy is to block access to real news, while they expand into the alt news spectrum to take that over and therefore control info access there, too.
Its all about information control, and this is where zionazis must maintain dominance to keep their empire in power.
Exactly!
Could not have said it better. Zionist controlled narrative falling apart and the public seeing the Emperor has no cloths.
Now to fight to stop their trying to limit alternate media and control it.
Well, the Zionazis are so terminally ill and deranged by now that, quite soon, all their corporate media garbage will consist of one single slogan only: “A thousand-fold BOOOO for Russia”. And, yes, I honestly do believe that this testifies to quite an appropriate assessment of the intellectual, moral, and, ultimately, sheer cerebral strength on the part of the media consumers.
” if Germans insist on the detailed answer. Russia needs 6000 more tanks because…”
-Because of the 20 million civilian Russian exterminated by the germans 60 years ago when the germans sensed weakness in Russia during the time.
26.6 Million .
Nonsense. V.V. Putin already gave his answer. Assymetrical warfare. Also known as Broiled NATO.
Don’t forget Zio-Bolshevik extermination of Russian Christians. Germany was forced into war by Zios who are still pulling the strings.
Hitler and Nazi Germany = Typical braindead Westerners practising European values. Sadly, Stalin and the USSR that he led wouldn’t have it.
” Europeans have to settle down and realize that they are just one of the guys, and not a shiny city on a hill surrounded by the sea of Russian, Chinese and Indian savages.”
-Russians are Europeans. And Chinese considers everyone savages, they name their country “The middle kingdom” after all, or to use modern terms “center of the universe”. no sinocentrism there huh? :)
We have a great student of George W. Bush here. W said if you repeat your nonsense enough times, people might believe it.
Shouldn’t you be a little more creative at least? Because last time you said exact same,just a few days ago on Pepe’s thread, people disagreed with you you, and I had reply to you as well.

“Excerpts From Pentagon’s Plan: ‘Prevent the Re-Emergence of a New Rival’
…
Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.
…
the U.S. must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests. Second, in the non-defense areas, we must account sufficiently for the interests of the advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order. Finally, we must maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role. An effective reconstitution capability is important here, since it implies that a potential rival could not hope to quickly or easily gain a predominant military position in the world.

ated regimes will still exist in 2020 – the key uncertainty here being the Kremlin. If so, we will need to retain a capability to meet their deliberate challenges to our vision of the world. This will require hard military power, but also an increased focus on asymmetrical forms of destruction, notably in the cybersphere. This is of major concern to the East-

Silly. ‘Der Stern’ is run by the same people who commissioned those propaganda documents.
But, it´s not ThanksGiving in the US?
Why are you not having dinner then, Scott?
Hi, Anon
Interesting enough, a couple of hours ago a black guy working holiday for a food market asked me the same question. I told him exactly what I am going to tell you. My spouse had died tragically, and I feel silly cooking a Thanksgiving dinner just for myself.
Oh, I guess you are joking, although you should not joke with that issues….
Anyway, why not cooking for oneself?
I recall when working far from home in my twenties, and not being able to come back home on Christmas, giving myself an homage, I just prepared all those things all like to eat at these days…
Take care of yourself man, besides, take into account that you have much to thank this year, since The Donald won…do not tell me that you have not buy at least a lobster, or whatever could be you eat at this holiday?
Scott is not joking.
Auslander
Oh, so sorry, in that case, my condolences, I had no idea.
Sympathies about your Lady, Scott.
Several years ago I adopted an elderly cat whose people were not able to have him in their new place, (pindo landlords are a subhuman species of themselves). The old guy turned out to have irritable bowel syndrome. Nothing helped him till I cooked a turkey for the TG holiday and gave him some. His IBS was much better after. So for a couple of years till he passed away I cooked a small turkey once a week. He, and the rest of the cats would get theirs and I would indulge in those post thanksgiving dinner turkey sandwiches, which was always the best part of the affair, anyways.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Five Soviet Movies That Shook the World

Thank you Scott for a great SITREP.
All the wonderful scientific breakthroughs and the space station panoramic views are all the things we should all be celebrating. Very sad that the West has sunk so low that they can’t even enjoy these wonderful advancements and achievements.
It was interesting that VVP the other day stated he wanted to attract the best scientists to Russia….I think we will see massive growth and development in Russia.
Love the featured image :)
Very nice article and update Scott – thanks.
Can I ask a question that puzzles. I spent half my working life in Science [Aus]. Some things are pretty well uniform.
How come PM Medvedev, who I understand has a Ph.D. in Constitutional Law [sounds familiar !!] has been elected to an Academy of Medical Science, and how is he going to teach scientists how to handle their scientific projects?
I must be missing some facts here.
Isabella
the humor of the situation has not escaped anyone, including our much beloved president.
The truth is that the members of the Academy of science are elected for life and they receive large monthly payments, for life.
The idea is that scientists should dedicate themselves to their research. That’s why they are being paid by the government.
There are limited number of the memberships available, about 800, I think. The government officials abusing their power forcing themselves into the science community, and talking the places from the real scientists. That’s how they aid the foreign governments efforts to destroy the Russian science.
Don’t be fooled by Putin’s calm demure. Next we will see many apparatchiks going down. Fingers crossed, Medvedev will be one of them.
The look on VVP’s face when he got those obtuse answers from the gentleman who should know the correct answer was priceless. Whilst Dr. Medvedev’s head may not roll I would be willing to guaranty quite a few other heads will fall in the basket.
I very much appreciate this typical sense of humor from Putin, which makes his opponents or “partners” to feel an icy wind on their back running down to their feet, provoking a strange tremor and stomach cramps.
These undeserved life stipends seem to me to be the worse form of moral degradation. How can these people – the RAN head, the prime minister and these others – get away with taking money that should go to real scientists and giving it to “honorary scientists”? There is of course everywhere a tradition of having honorary academicians, but these must have contributed something to the field in question.
Thanks for that Scott – it is an invaluable highlight as to why what these featherbedding traitors are doing what they are, and why it’s so reprehensible.
Also, I went to the Presidents own site, in which in a Q & A session with journalists he emphasised he had written to these people in Oct [i.e. before the “elections” cough cough] to request they not run for a place at the Academy. They obviously ignored it. This makes this a very serious issue, one of lack of internal discipline and of not only ignoring their Head of State but effectively making a rude “get lost” sign to him.
This signifies considerable dereliction of duty on their part, insubordination and virtual treachery to the Nation since it deprives the Academy of the services of real scientists but more, could lead to instilling in the public at large a lack of confidence in their leader if he fails to act. A fear that the corrupt can do as they please and get away with it, which is exactly what they saw in 1990s’. IN such a case I suspect Putin really has no option but to act to relieve them of their Ministerial posts on grounds of “loss of confidence” if no other, “Russia having no further use for their services”
I do hope we see some action on this.
Thanks for bringing it to light; I have spread it abroad to others in the AltMed fight for Russia – I hope you don’t mind.
Good news Scott,
They have all been dismissed from their governmental posts:
http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/11/the-rule-of-law-putin-dismisses-senior.html
Sadly, as you say they have kept their RAN positions. I think the next step would be to look into RAN’s constitution……
Can you provide a source for that? Medvedev’s biography doesnt say anything concerning that.
‘1984’: EU Resolution on Russian Media First Step Toward ‘Total Censorship’
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201611241047807594-eu-resolution-russian-media/
“I write for Sputnik and cooperate with different Russian television broadcasters. So what will they do to me now?” Giulietto Chiesa, an Italian journalist and Director of PandoraTV.it, asks rhetorically.
“To put it bluntly: the aim of the resolution, whatever arguments are cited, is to impose censorship against all media — both Russian and non-Russian — which express opinions different from those postulated by Western leaders,” Chiesa writes in his op-ed for Sputnik Italia.
Jugoslav Cosic of N1 news channel, CNN International’s local broadcast partner and affiliate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia, echoes Chiesa.
“This greatly worries me, as we had a very negative experience of group stigmatizing here in Serbia, when NATO bombed the building of RTS channel in 1999, justifying that as ‘the struggle against the Milosevic propaganda machine.’ The airstrikes killed 16 of our colleagues,” the journalist emphasized.”
Could somebody specify which EU countries have voted and how (yes, abstained, no) on this resolution ?
I wonder when the EU sanctions are no more the EU will wake up to the fact they still can’t deliver their goods to Russia as before the sanctions.!! They don’t need them anymore.
For me it is no mystery why the EU + USA parasites desperatly want war = the fastest way to get rid of the prove of their follyness. The little people be damned.
This article reminds me about a sentence in a letter from a soldier storming Berlin.
The Russians are kaput!
Enough is enough my friend. You are not alone.
Cheers from Brazil
A non cellular bio implant grown from the patients own cells? Unfortunately I don’t read
Russian, but I did once work in tissue culture. Any one able to provide more details?
Maybe just with infusing the tissue with good ole extract of Calendula officinalis (flores ) ? Has worked for me in my practise of 35+ years a charm with lacerations, cuts, even severe burns . I conjointly give Arnica Montana Q 30 orally, or Arsenicum album Q30 in burns …
Thanks Bessarab, idea of marigold taken in; implant suggests that something is produced
in vitro from cultured cells taken from the patient. One problem would seem to be time, can
one culture the cells and produce the implant faster than the body can heal itself?
Difficult to know what has been achieved without reading original paper.
“Europeans have to settle down and realize that they are just one of the guys, and not a shiny city on a hill surrounded by the sea of Russian, Chinese and Indian savages.”
The Euro-trash actually may find out that, sadly enough, aforesaid savages are not too impressed either, especially now that the EU teeters on the brink of collapse, and the Zionazi elites couldn’t possibly care less about the social rot and decomposition across the West due to their own neoliberal misrule. Über-Europeans such as the Psheks, Ukros, and Balts look more vile, ass-backwards, and deluded with each passing day. The contempt and ridicule on the part of Soros can readily be imagined, and I can barely contain my own malicious glee.
Great SITREP – thanks a lot Scott!
