Judgment Days

That this is a bluff or reality - a weapon demonstrated during the president’s speech on March 1

Without a doubt, the current Putin message to the Federal Assembly is an important watershed in domestic foreign and domestic policy. Almost half of the performance of the main head of the country was occupied by the story about the latest weapons systems, which Russia acquired secret from the enemies of our Fatherland. And who, as the Commander -in -Chief promised, will inevitably be collapsed on the head of the aggressor. At the same time, Moscow is now leading military conflicts, they are purely local in nature. The use of nuclear weapons in them is not yet visible. Meanwhile, it was Vladimir Putin who was talking about strategic weapons.

Star Wars and "Judgment Day"

First of all, the president spoke about the heavy, 200-ton rocket "Sarmat", which, according to him, is already experiencing a military department with might and main. This rocket, according to the president, is so powerful that it has no range restrictions at all. It can carry more than a dozen combat blocks and fly up to the target both through the North Pole (which is a “traditional” route for Russian missiles) and through the South.

Previously, pessimistic news about Sarmatian came from the military department. The tests scheduled for 2016 were transferred all the time. In the end, the tests were supposed to pass at the end of 2017. It should have been throwing trials, when only the ability of the powder charge is tested to “push” the full -fledged layout of the missile from a mine of meters by 30–40 meters. From these tests to a full -fledged “product” - a distance of a huge size, work usually takes several years. If the shots illustrating Putin’s words are not a fake, then it should be noted: the message to the Federal Assembly is able to work like miracles like the Bible. If we keep in mind that Moscow and Washington should exchange information about launches, then the Americans would hardly miss the launch of the Sarmatians. Therefore, sooner or later, leaks will appear in the American press about how Putin's statements are true.

Russian leaders have been talking about magic warheads representing hypersonic planning blocks (now called Vanguard) since 2004. One problem: conceptually they were developed during the USSR time to counteract the Reagan Star Wars. Then the American military intended to destroy combat blocks in the atmosphere from the space: either at the start of the rocket, or when approaching the target (which “planning” opposed). However, the current American concept of about involves interception at the average stage of flight, in airless space. That is, the extraordinary properties of these Russian warheads are not needed to overcome the current American Pro.

In addition, Russia has another hypersonic weapon, which has already been put on experimental and combat duty in the Southern District. This is a “dagger” missile with a range of more than 2 thousand kilometers. The Commander-in-Chief of the VKS Sergey Surovikin immediately clarified that the rocket is launched from the MiG-31, which does not even go into the enemy air defense zone.

And also, according to Putin, the tests of unmanned underwater devices were completed, equipped again with unprecedented atomic power plants, which are hundreds of times higher than those installed on existing submarines. And these underwater drones capable of carrying super -powerful nuclear ammunition are designed to destroy both aircraft carriers and infrastructure on the coast of a “potential enemy”. A few years ago, from one of the meetings of the head of state with the military, information on the development of the “Status 6” project leaked ”. In the frames demonstrated by several federal television channels at once, the drawing of this very underwater drone appeared. Then the experts came to the general opinion that we are talking about a certain "weapon of the Day of Judgment." The underwater apparatus should be launched at the time of a nuclear blow to Russia and is intended to destroy the western and eastern coast of the United States. Which very clearly demonstrated (and demonstrates) the way of thinking of Vladimir Putin and his subordinates.

We are talking about a certain "Judgment Day". The underwater apparatus should be launched at the time of a nuclear blow to Russia and is intended to destroy the western and eastern coast of the United States. Which very clearly demonstrated (and demonstrates) the way of thinking of Vladimir Putin and his subordinates

In addition, military lasers have already entered service. True, it is not entirely clear from the demonstrated personnel that these lasers will destroy. Maybe air goals, or maybe these Putin hyperboloids will cut the advancing enemy tanks alive.

The struggle for peace until complete destruction

The largest mystery remains the creation of a cruise missile with a nuclear power plant, which again allows it to fly to any distance, change the route, and use the terrain. If so, then this means that Russia has carried out a fantastic technical breakthrough, supplying the aircraft with a nuclear power plant. And then it is completely incomprehensible why, in the first part of his speech, Putin beat the alarm regarding the danger of the country's technical lag. With such achievements - we are definitely ahead of the planet.

The question of what is the truth described by the president, and that bluff remains open. In the end, everyone remembers how the head of our state with the same pride as today, demonstrated to Oliver Stone the shooting of an American attack on the Taliban in Afghanistan, which the craftsmen from the Ministry of Defense issued the destruction of terrorists in Syria.

Military experts have long to understand what Putin said. However, the words are said, and evaluating the Russian military potential, the United States and their allies in NATO will now proceed from the worst. The fact that Moscow really has new types of weapons. The answer can only be the development of new weapons (it is not necessary at all that Putin spoke about) and the mass production of the already created. If we keep in mind the possibilities of the US military industry and their Western European allies, as well as the size of the American military budget, it is obvious that Russia is drawn into the destructive nuclear weapons race. On the promises that sounded in the first part of the message to increase the living stands, you can put a fat cross.

It is clear that the Kremlin could not but calculate these consequences. The version that Vladimir Putin for no reason decided to explain to unreasonable Americans, to which their exit from the contract to limit the missile defense, which occurred 16 years ago, did not withstand criticism. The missile defense system created by the United States is not able to violate the strategic balance, that is, to intercept the missiles that the Kremlin can launch in a response impact. As for the 30 interceptors deployed in Alaska and California (17 more anti -rhinet will be deployed soon to parry the North Korean threat), then, according to experts, it will take from 3 to 5 anti -tanks to destroy one warhead. Russia has 1550 of them. That before the interceptors of the Ijis system, which are now deployed in Europe, their speed is significantly lower than the speed of Russian ICBMs, they simply cannot be caught up. After the Americans left the software agreement, he signed two agreements on reducing strategic offensive weapons, which certainly could not be done if the United States planned to violate strategic balance.

This is an attempt by force, using threats to get out of international isolation. Just according to the old Soviet joke: “There will be no war. There will be such a struggle for peace that there will be no stone on the stone "

The shock Putin phrase “Nobody essentially wanted to talk with us, no one listened to us. Listen now ” - not about how the Americans ignored the Russian position on the pro. This is an attempt by force, using threats to get out of international isolation. Just according to the old Soviet joke: “There will be no war. There will be such a struggle for peace that there will be no stone on the stone. ”

Obviously, having turned the message into a demonstration of science fiction weapons, Putin pursued, first of all, election goals. Well, to whom will it occur to me to remember the shameful defeat of Russian mercenaries in Syria? I must say that the Kremlin PR managers creatively approached the experience of Comrade Kim Jong -un, who achieved excellent results, demonstrating videos with North Korean missiles aimed at the United States. True, they say that the specialists recruited according to the blat and now: they used the animation of the ten -year -old Channel One about the separation of the combat warhead of the previous generation. Yes, and the listeners are still jumping up without North Korean enthusiasm. Well, the matter is profitable. Ahead - at least six years.
