The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has stated that it is considering the return of Russian military bases to Cuba and Vietnam.

Judging by everything, this information slipped through the cracks into the public space by accident, as most officials now prefer to either remain silent or answer evasively in the face of reporters’ questions.

However, Tsargrad has managed to clarify just what countries Russia could return to in the near future.

This task is first and foremost one that faces our military departments and is not a question of merely increasing the number of our troops abroad but also, for example, providing for long-range aircraft flights, guaranteeing logistical support to the navy, and establishing effective intelligence gathering.

With this goal in mind, for example, fueling points are planned to be organized at the equator. But all in good time.

Les États-Unis ne veulent pas mettre fin à la guerre contre la Syrie ni régler l’affaire à la table de négociation.

Ils veulent voir leurs exigences satisfaites à 100%, à savoir la chute du gouvernement syrien, la dissolution de l’État syrien et la mise en place d’une administration américaine par procuration, en Syrie.

Lorsque le cessez-le-feu a été instauré en Syrie, fin février, Obama n’a pas respecté son engagement de séparer les « rebelles modérés », soutenus par les États-Unis, d’Al-Qaïda. En avril, les rebelles soutenus par les Américains, les talibans comme Ahrar al Sham, et Al-Qaïda se sont réunis pour attaquer le gouvernement syrien au sud d’Alep. Les forces par procuration des Etats-Unis ont violé le cessez-le-feu.

Deux résolutions de l’ONU stipulent qu’Al-Qaïda en Syrie doit être combattu quoiqu’il en coûte. Mais les États-Unis ont, au moins par deux fois, demandé à la Russie de ne pas bombarder Al-Qaïda. Ils prétendent à tort qu’il ne leur est pas possible de séparer leurs «modérés» d’Al-Qaïda et qu’une attaque contre Al-Qaïda toucherait également leurs amis «modérés».

Près de quatre mois ont passé et Kerry continue de dire que les Etats-Unis ont besoin de plus de temps pour séparer leurs forces par procuration d’Al-Qaïda.

Le porte-parole du Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov a confirmé l’attaque de vendredi et a dit aux journalistes qu’il était difficile de distinguer les différents groupes rebelles depuis le ciel.
Traduction: « Si vous n’êtes pas capables de séparer vos forces de celles d’Al-Qaïda, ni de différencier leurs zones d’action, ni de désigner les zones tenues exclusivement par les « modérés », nous n’en sommes pas capables non plus.

The U.S. is unwilling to stop the war on Syria and to settle the case at the negotiation table. It wants a 100% of its demands fulfilled, the dissolution of the Syrian government and state and the inauguration of a U.S. proxy administration in Syria.

The bucket was full and Kerry’s latest request for another three month pause of attacking al-Qaeda was the drop that let it overflow.

Russia now responded by hitting the U.S. where it did not expect to be hit:

Russian warplanes hit Pentagon-backed Syrian fighters with a barrage of airstrikes earlier this week, disregarding several warnings from U.S. commanders in what American military officials called the most provocative act since Moscow’s air campaign in Syria began last year.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov appeared to confirm the attack Friday, telling reporters it was difficult to distinguish different rebel groups from the air. ~ Translation: “If you can not separate your forces from al-Qaeda and differentiate and designate exclusively “moderate” zones we can not do so either”.

The strikes hit a base near the Jordanian border, far from areas where the Russians were previously active, and targeted U.S.-backed forces battling the Islamic State militants. …These latest strikes occurred on the other side of the country from the usual Russian operations, around Tanf, a town near where the borders of Jordan, Iraq, and Syria meet. …The Russian strike hit a small rebel base for staging forces and equipment in a desolate, unpopulated area near the border. About 180 rebels were there as part of the Pentagon’s program to train and equip fighters against Islamic State.
When the first strikes hit, the rebels called a U.S. command center in Qatar, where the Pentagon orchestrates the daily air war against Islamic State.
U.S. jets came and the Russian jets went away. The U.S. jets left to refuel, the Russian jets came back and hit again. Allegedly two U.S. proxy fighters were killed and 18 were wounded.

Earlier today another such attack hit the same target.

This was no accident but a well planned operation and the Russian spokesperson’s response makes the intend clear…

The United States seems to want al-Nusra Front terrorist group to remain in some form in Syria and use it to achieve own goals, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged the US earlier this month to convince those rebel groups which they support in Syria to leave areas where al-Nusra Front militants are present.

Earlier, Washington asked Moscow to direct its airstrikes solely at al-Nusra Front and refrain from targeting so-called “moderate” rebels, working with al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria.

“The Americans are now saying that they are unable to remove the ‘good’ opposition members from the positions held by al-Nusra Front, and that they will need another two-three months. I am under the impression that there is a game here and they may want to keep al-Nusra Front in some form and later use it to overthrow the [Assad] regime,” Lavrov said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Interestingly, both Moscow and Washington view al-Nusra Front as a terrorist organization.

In this context, distancing itself from al-Qaeda’s offshoot should have been a non-issue for what Russian officials often have referred to as “patriotic” opposition.

Why are they not severing ties will al-Qaeda then?

“Why is no one asking why … moderates would want to associate themselves with al-Qaeda in the first place? Why do they seek to integrate into al-Qaeda command structures? How are they not to be considered ducks when they walk like ducks and quack like ducks?” …

There is no place on earth where these killers can hide: all will be found.
The prisoners have not been executed and are in good health: they are now collaborating with the Syrian intelligence, providing very useful information to track down their accomplices and their hideouts, as well as those who provided them with weapons and logistical coverage.

The Russian Air Force tracked and targeted a long column of terrorists crossing Turkish border to join their comrades in Northern and Northwestern battlefields in Syria.

The terrorists, that were mainly Turkmen, were caught by the Russian Air Force’s reconnaissance planes attempting to enter the Lattakia province from one of the Turkish border-crossings near Yayladagi.

Upon the entry of Jeish al-Turkmen and al-Nusra Front into Syria, the Russian air fleet struck their convoy of vehicles in the Furniluk Forests, ending in the rebel fighters scattering around the border in order to evade the powerful aerial assault.

When the Russian warplanes backed off, the Syrian Air Force launched their own airstrikes over the Furniluk Forests, keeping up the pressure on the trapped rebel fighters.

Meantime, the Syrian Army, the Syrian Resistance, the National Defense Forces (NDF) and the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) carried out a ground assault on the final villages located before the Turkish border-crossing into the city of Yayladagi.

March 4 saw the 55th anniversary of the first successful anti-ballistic missile intercept performed by a Soviet defensive system, the Sistema A, which used the V-1000 anti-missile equipped with a conventional blast-fragmentation warhead, to destroy the warhead launched by an R-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile.

Russian defense industry has not been sitting still in the face of NATO ABM expansion. Long-range air defense systems like the S-300, S-400, and the upcoming S-500 have considerable ability to destroy ballistic threats, though none of them have been tested against the extremely fast ICBM re-entry vehicles which are far harder to defeat than short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles.

Moreover, Russia is working on the successor to A-135, the A-235 which will likewise use multiple types of missiles to provide an ability to destroy incoming warheads at long ranges and at extremely high altitudes bordering on orbital.

Whether or not such deployments ever take place largely depends on the future course of Russia-NATO relations. The only reason the ABM Treaty was ever signed and ratified was USSR’s demonstrated ability to deploy effective ABM systems.

US withdrawal from that treaty was driven by its leaders’ arrogant assumption that the US could launch a new nuclear arms race with no country able to counter it.

Once Russia demonstrates its ability to field the next-generation of strategic anti-ballistic systems, we may the world’s great powers once again return to the negotiating table.

If the Russian Aerospace Forces’ performance took NATO by surprise, it is because earlier Russian operations did not suggest that level of ability. Russian aviation took serious losses in the 2008 conflict with Georgia: 7 aircraft shot down including a Tu-22M bomber, 4 damaged, or one loss per each 17 combat missions. There was practically no new aircraft procurement since 1994. Russian aircrews flew far fewer hours than their NATO counterparts.

But the Georgia conflict served as a wake-up call and led to reforms which proved both crucial and successful.

Russian airpower was reduced in numbers, and reorganized into 8 air bases, each supporting several air groups based on individual airfields, which allowed individual pilots to get more flying time….

…By 2020, the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) are expected to have at their disposal about 1500 mostly modern combat aircraft, including 130 heavy bombers such as the Tu-160, Tu-95MS, and Tu-22M, over 800 fighters, and over 500 tactical bombers and attack aircraft.

These reforms led to the Russian VKS demonstrating a number of capabilities which seemed beyond its reach only seven years earlier… … …

We wish to re-publish and submit to you all this very interesting series of reports (from 11 February to 4 March 2016) and analyzes on the valuable work carried out, behind the scenes, by skilled Russian military advisers.
Their technical and professional experience and military assistance have identified serious deficiencies and incorrect techniques habits by the Syrian Army in the use and maintenance of the armaments.
Because it is from a proper use, storage and maintenance of the weapons, vehicles and ammunition that often depend the fate of the battles.
By correcting the faults and updating the Syrian military operators it was possible to give them better skills and confidence in operations on more fronts and against an enemy well armed with the most sophisticated weaponry, coming from the Western powers…via Ottoman-Gulf regimes…
Once again thanks: to the Russian Armed Forces and their military advisers.

[by SouthFront] ~ When asked about Russian operations in Syria, most people would immediately mention the Russian fighter-bombers, attack aircraft, combat helicopters, and cruise missile volleys.
Few would mention the quiet work behind the scenes that was performed by a large group of highly dedicated professionals who helped transform the Syrian military that was on the brink of defeat, into a force that could once again begin liberating Syria’s territory.
Without denying the importance of the air campaign, the air strikes alone would not have turned the tide of the war.
