Perhaps the Hegemon’s NATO could use this defence against Russian tanks by employing the local mafia?

Russian precision strikes are widely inaccurate… Keep it up..

7 IS members carried out a suicide attack on Camp Tariq East of Fallujah. These 3 look very young. Not old enough to grow any facial hair.. Why would kids even volunteer for such jobs? no ipads???

Russia restricted civilian flights below 53,000 ft on Ukraine border on 07/17/2014
The Russian Federation advisory issued on 16 July 2014 and coming into effect the following day meant in effect that it was saying the airspace it controlled was unsafe for any airliner, since 53,000 feet is at least 10,000 feet higher than the maximum sustainable cruise altitude of all passenger jets in service world wide.
MH17: Malaysia refused to cooperate fully with investigation
As earlier reported, fragments of shaped metal unique to the warheads most currently used in the BUK ground to air missile system were found in the bodies of the three pilots who were in the cockpit.
The report also discloses that no such fragments were found in the bodies of any other MH17 victims.

US ‘instantaneous missile launch detection’ from Aviation Week.
“In less than 10 sec., every point on the face of the Earth is imaged by the U.S. Air Force’s newest infrared (IR) missile warning satellite system.
The message from the operators of the new Space-Based Infrared System (Sbirs) at the 460th Space Wing at Buckley AFB, Colorado, is that missile or space launches cannot happen anywhere on Earth—or over it—without their knowing. With Sbirs, they can detect a launch faster than ever, more accurately identify the missile type, more precisely calculate its burnout velocity and trajectory (state vector) and more exactly determine an impact point.”
“Designed with short- and mid-wave IR detectors, Sbirs can theoretically “see” any IR event—such as a forest fire, bomb explosion or plane crash. The sensors are “tuned” to look for specific events, such as the hot plumes of ICBMs, but are also constantly collecting background data from other heat events, data kept by the Pentagon. In the event of a natural disaster or bombing….”

I wonder if that sophisticated I/R satellite system can detect the megawatts per square meter ‘heat bloom’ from me as I moon them?
Surely a mass mooning is called for in order to fully test this system?
Just don’t use a match when you do it – you might panic them into defcon 4.

Imagine! (Eh Peter Antonensen?)
The guns of these older Russian tanks can easily penetrate the armour of any pindo or (g)ato armour. The upgrades better the vehicle’s detection, targeting acquisition abilities and their defense against infantry weapons. Makes sense to utilize what one has, upgrade existing, while simultaneously going ahead with replacement production. The Russians are more or less following this philosophy with their air assets, as well.
You nailed it vot tak.
The Russians are using the same approach to their air assets. They’ve directed their efforts towards hi-tech version of the Su-30 (via the Su-30MKI to Su-30SM path), the same modernizing is being done to the Su-35 (this year – coincidentally- the Indians signed an agreement to modernize Su-35 along with Russia to the same level of modularity, expandability of capabilities and modernization as two countries had done with the Su-30SM/MKI). The Su-35 modernization and deployment will be used as a stop-gap measure due to reduction in the 5th-Gen PAK-FA/FGFA roll-out (both countries simultaneously reduced their 5-gen PAK-FA/FGFA orders). It makes sense economically and operationally. Also look at the multiplier effect the new smart systems they implemented into very old airframes like the Su-24/25 etc.
With respect to the tanks, the same thing seems to have happened: The Russian army adopted the T-90S which was the design that the Indian Army had specified, they re-designated it the T-90A for the Russian Army. India and Russia collaborated on the latest T-90MS (referred to as the T-90SM in the Southfront Video) which contains a tough welded turret, advances in cyrogenic cooling systems to accommodate thermal imaging systems (many other electronic and targeting systems advanced) and more advanced Russian Explosive Reactive Armour (Kaktus-6, instead of the older Kontakt-5 system). Since India has already supplied their own research towards these improvements and effectively paid for the re-tooling of the production line and for the re-design, it makes sense for the Russia military to piggy-back off these developments and inducting the T-90SM (aka T-90-AM) into the Russian Army.
In terms of economies of scale: The Indians possess approx 1000 T-90s and are building up to a force of approx 2000+ advanced version T-90 by 2020, the economies of scale favor the Russian military taking advantage of the savings this offers until the constraints imposed on Russia by depressed global oil prices and global recession clears-off. The maximum number of T-90s the Russian military will possess will be about 500 tanks, the Indians already have twice as many and will have 4 times as many (~2000) in 4 years (roughly half of their 4500 tank force). It is a very sensible decision by the Russian military to take this path.
I have heard from contacts in the India military that they have offered to sell or trade-in excess T-90s frames (or complete tanks) produced in India back to Russia if the Russian need or shortage is acute. Another program being considered is to ship back to Russia equivalent numbers of Indian T-90s for each new Arjun MBT Mark-II (or it’s successor) regiment that enters service post 2020.
Note: just as with the 5-Gen PAK-FA/FGFA, work continues to proceed on the Armata T-14.
Having a 60+ tons tank on Russian territories is a bad idea. it is one of the reasons that even Armata T-14 is only 48-49 tons. So we should not underestimate even Russian older tanks, once they have a modern projectiles and deployed tactically with accordance of their function, the Challenger or M1 Abrams will be force to fight on Russian terms, that means a bloody hardship, and we would see a lot of western tanks abandoned.
Upgrading older machines rather than full on Amata production because of the price of oil…
US rhetoric seems to have moved from hot war to cold war. Financial war and covert proxy wars. Blocking gas line projects and “legal” warfare.
With its control of most of the world financial system through the petrodollar, the US will also keep control of its vassals and other countries that might otherwise align with Russia. Russia cannot destroy dominance of the dollar alone. How committed is China to destroying dominance of the petrodollar?
It changes nothing for Russia. They are start buying Armata, because it’s price is now similar to T-90. It not means T-90 is not a good tank. It is all about money.
It will take some years for testing Armata, so they are aiming at the cheapest solution – upgrading t-72s to B3.
T-72 B3 inferior to Leopard 2A6 ? I don’t think so. Germans have admited recently that ammunition of their tanks cannot penetrate armour of the t-80 and t-90. T-72 b3 have the same armour as T-90. They have only 330 tanks.
Leopards bought by other NATO countries have even weaker, older ammuntion. This ammunition was tested for example in Poland. Test showed that German export ammunition sold to other NATO countries can’t penetrate T-72 monkey models with basic ERA.
Remember that Russia could easily counter NATO tanks with thier cheap and effective anti tank rockets. Russia is able to destroy tanks from very long distance. They can use special anti-tank missiles for Grads – now Tornado G – which have range of 40 km, they can use similar anti-tank ammunition in mortars, etc.

NATO’s military industrial complex can’t produce tanks of the next generation or even new tanks . Russia still have advantage.
