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.

Russia plans to deploy one of its best air defense systems, the S-400 Triumf to Crimea in August. The regiment that will protect the skies over the Black Sea peninsula from NATO’s “air hooligans,” as Crimea’s Vice Premier Ruslan Balbek put it, will be stationed in the port town of Feodosia.

The S-400 complex will become a welcome addition to Crimea’s multilayered air defense structure that contains among over things the S-300 (NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble) long range surface-to-air missile system.

The S-400 will serve as a major deterrent for “air hooligans from NATO’s air force,” Balbek told RIA Novosti. “The sheer fact that the most advanced air defense missile system will be installed on [the peninsula] will keep all NATO air forces based in the Black Sea on the edge of their seats.”

Balbek also mentioned that sending enemy aircraft to violate Crimean airspace would be essentially a suicide mission. “Without doubt, NATO has brave pilots, but there are no suicide pilots among them.”

So foreign ministers from the 28 NATO member-nations met in Brussels for a two-day summit, while mighty military power Montenegro was inducted as a new member.

Global Robocop NATO predictably discussed Afghanistan (a war NATO ignominiously lost); Iraq (a war the Pentagon ignominiously lost); Libya (a nation NATO turned into a failed state devastated by militia hell); Syria (a nation NATO, via Turkey, would love to invade, and is already a militia hell).

Comparisons of the current NATO buildup to pre-WWII buildups, or to NATO when opposed to the Warsaw Pact, are amateurish. The THAAD and Patriot missiles are worthless – according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) themselves; that’s why they tried to improve them with Iron Dome.

Meanwhile, those new NATO army “battalions” are inconsequential. The basic thrust behind the Pentagon’s moves under neocon Ash Carter continues to be to draw Russia ever further into Syria and Ukraine (as if Moscow actually was involved in, or wanted, a Ukrainian quagmire); trap Russia in proxy wars; and economically bleed Russia to death while crippling the bulk of oil and natural gas income to the Russian state.

Russia does not want – and does not need – war. Yet the “Russian aggression” narrative never stops. Thus it’s always enlightening to come back to this RAND corporation study, which examined what would happen if a war actually took place. RAND reached an “unambiguous” conclusion after a series of war games in 2015-2015; Russia could overrun NATO in a mere 60 hours – if not less – if it ever amounted to a hot war on European soil.

The Rand Corporation is essentially a CIA outpost – thus a propaganda machine. Yet it’s not propaganda to state the Baltic States and Ukraine would completely fall in less than three days before the Russian Army. However, the suggestion that additional NATO air power and heavily armored combat divisions would make a material difference is bogus.

Russia’s Anti-Missile Shield [the new generation of strategic anti-ballistic systems…to bring back the U.S. to the negotiating table]

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.

With the Syrian Army advancing across the front, Saudi Arabia has announced its willingness to escalate the conflict by supplying portable surface-to-air missiles to terrorists fighting against Syrian forces and, presumably, the Russian forces assisting them.

But is it a genuine threat, or just part of Riyadh’s campaign of information warfare?

In the long term, Russian military expert Viktor Murakhovski suggests, Saudi SAM deliveries “will not significantly influence the course and outcome of the ongoing fighting in Syria.”

Would they force Syrian and Russian aircraft to adjust their tactics? Definitely.

Could they lead to losses for Syrian aircraft? Possibly.

Could they result in Russia assisting the Syrian Air Force by providing it with modern SAM countermeasures? Certainly.

Would they affect the outcome of the war? Definitely not… … …

Russia has deployed missile defense systems to Syria to protect its military forces and equipment stationed in the Arab country, the head of the Russian air force says.

Referring to the potential threats against Russian military forces and equipment in Syria, Colonel General Viktor Bondarev said fighter jets could be hijacked in countries neighboring Syria and used to attack the Russian forces.

“We have taken into account all possible threats. We have sent not only fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, and helicopters, but also missile defense systems because any sort of force majeure situation may occur,” Bondarev said in an interview with Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya.

“For example, the stealing of a warplane in a neighboring country with Syria or having to return fire. We need to be prepared for that,” he said.

When the aircraft was passing along the Turkish border, the onboard equipment set off an alarm indicating the plane was being targeted by some kind of air defense system,” Bondarev told the Russian daily.

“The pilot had to take a split-second decision to perform an anti-missile maneuver. Well, [the plane] went a little bit into Turkish airspace. We acknowledged it frankly,” he added.

A Russian fighter jet was forced to enter Turkish airspace in early October while performing an evasive maneuver against a surface-to-air missile system, the commander of Russia’s Air Force said.

“Our fighter jet was on a combat mission in Northern Syria in very dense cloud conditions. When the aircraft was passing along the Turkish border, the onboard equipment set off an alarm indicating the plane was being targeted by some kind of air defense system,” Commander-in-Chief Viktor Bondarev told Komsomolskaya Pravda daily.

Aleksandr Grushko, Russia’s envoy to the Western military alliance, said:
“The impression is that the incident in Turkish airspace was used in order to include NATO as an organization into the information campaign unleashed in the West, which perverts and distorts the purposes of the operation conducted by the Russian air forces in Syria”.

For the first time since their arrival in Syria, the Russian Air Force launched a series of airstrikes above the Aleppo Governorate’s eastern countryside, targeting the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s (ISIS) positions along the Deir Hafer-Aleppo Highway while the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) attacks the terrorist group on the ground.

On Thursday morning (22/9/2015), the Syrian Arab Army – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) – conducted a powerful assault on ISIS’ positions at ‘Ayn Sabl, resulting in their capture of the southwestern perimeter of this town that is located to the east of Tal Rayman and Al-Salihiyah.

Assisting the Syrian Armed Forces from above was none other than the Russian Air Force, as they reportedly struck ISIS’ positions in east Aleppo

The Syrian conflict started in March 2011 in the southern agro-center of Der’ah. It is now late September in 2015, 4 and 1/2 years later and the war has gone from a series of demonstrations mixed with cunningly deployed snipers, whose task it was to kill civilians while blaming it on the Assad government, to a full-fledged foreign-backed war designed to overthrow the legally elected government of Dr. Assad and supplant it with a backward (read: malleable) Wahhabist regime of obeisant monkeys and cockroaches.

That is the Neo-Con/Zionist plan hatched in the Western capitals of the so-called First World. It has been a disaster no less agonizing than Bush’s mutton-headed decision to invade Saddam’s Iraq.

The Ba’ath is a secretive organization and political party whose roots can be traced to the Post-WWI ideologies of scientific socialism, the war against oppression and the need to survive the machinations of the unreconstructed colonialist regimes in France and England.

At the heart of any history is geography. The truism that most people often cannot understand because they simply don’t know geography. When I listen to many politicians, political scientists, especially from the liberal camp, I inevitably begin to question their geography knowledge at least within the school course. When they start to swing a bugbear of democracy, trying to violently spread it everywhere, I want to get a closer look at the map of the Earth before uttering democratic mantras.

Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed that Russia has provided and will continue to provide military and technical assistance to Syria in order to fight terrorism which is an absolute priority now, calling on other countries to do the same.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday that turning a blind eye to the capabilities of the Syrian army in combating terrorism equals risking the region’s security for the sake of achieving Geo-political plans.

Moscow will continue supplying weapons to Syria in accordance with the international law, Speaker of the Russian State Duma, Sergey Naryshkin has said.

Russia’s Permanent Envoy to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin considered on Tuesday that the US-led international coalition’s rejection to cooperate with the Syrian government and working through an authorization by Security Council creates obstacles in front of combating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist organization.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that there is no ban on exporting weapons to Syria and Moscow’s cooperation with Damascus is continuous, adding “the only aim to offer military aid to Syria is combating terrorism”.

Russia supplies Syrian government forces with firearms, grenade launchers and armored personnel carriers as the country is struggling with radical DAESH (ISIS/ISIL) militants, said military-technical sources.

“Nevertheless, there is not any ban on exporting weapons to Syria,” she added.

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia provides “considerable” support to Syria in terms of equipment, training and weaponry.

Russian specialists were sent to Syria to teach local armed forces to operate Russian weapons.

You can tell the West is miffed. And you can tell Vlad is tiffed. The grifter-Zionist-neo-con terrorists are waffling between opposing the Iranian nuclear agreement and trying (still) to topple the legitimate government of the Syrian Arab Republic. While all the hurly-burly is on display, stern-faced Republican apparatchiks vowing to stymy Obama’s planned rapprochement with Iran, the Russian, Iranians and Syrians continue to move forward with the plan that will dismember what is left of the West’s Frankenstein monster – the selfsame monster the West alleges it is fighting.

Syrian officers are demonstrating greater skill in mounting ferocious attacks against the terrorist, British-supported rodents in both the north and south. Make no mistake about this, Syrian soldiers can feel the improvement in tactics, and, especially, the sea-change in the military arsenal of the country; even though many might be wondering why Syria has not deployed its massive missile arsenal. Yet, with thermobaric bombs, FROGs, Katyushas, and a whole host of newly arrived weapons systems, the field of battle is changing radically. It’s only the spectacle of seeing the United States supporting Alqaeda against its own creation, ISIS, that makes all this particularly entertaining.

Tehran ~ Advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Velayati stressed Iran’s support to Syrian people and leadership in the face of the conspiracy hatched against it.

Syria is suffering instability for more than four years due to the interference of the governments of some regional and western countries in its internal affairs, He said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday it is the responsibility of the Western countries that have sparked conflicts in the Middle East and other regions to bear the burden of the refugees issue now facing them.

“Justice demands that the countries which sparked conflicts bear the greatest responsibility with regard to providing humanitarian aid,” Lavrov was quoted as saying during a meeting with Vice President of the European Commission Kristalina Georgieva.

The Information Minister said that there is no independent Saudi diplomacy or any foreign Saudi policy that expresses Saudi’s Arab, Islamic or Gulf position, but rather a reflection of the western policies, pointing out that the Russian-Saudi meetings are part of the Russian efforts to overcome the state of war in Syria towards solutions in order for launching a political track.

On the Russian Military aid to Syria, al-Zoubi said that the Syrian-Russian relations, including the military side, are traditional, clarifying that there are no Russian forces or any Russian military land, marine, air action on the Syrian territories.

On the issue of the Syrian displaced and migration to Europe or other countries, the Minister said that this issue is one of the most prominent social and humanitarian repercussions of terrorism-backed by known Arab, regional and western states – that is striking Syria.

“They (Terrorism supporters) send us bloodthirsty, savage terrorists from their communities and attract creative minds and skillful manpower from our country,”

al-Zoubi said, stressing that this issue is not accidental, but rather it is an integrated project whose headline is evacuating communities from their manpower and transfer it to the European community with low wages.

“In turn, they send killers to these countries to be later hit by international military alliances as to destroy them and devastate their infrastructure.”

Moscow ~ Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov affirmed to U.S. State Secretary John Kerry that it has never been kept secret that Russia supplies Syria with military equipment in support of its efforts in combating terrorism.

This came in Lavrov’s response to Kerry’s inquiry about Russia’s assistance to the Syrian government.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Kerry sought clarification about the Russian aid to the Syrian government in support of the latter for fighting terrorism during his latest phone call with his Russian counterpart on Saturday.

Lavrov stressed that Russia always provides such assistance to Syria and has done this before, adding that the Russian side has never before kept it secret that it provides Syria with military equipment to help in combating terrorism, according to Zakharova..

China and Russia are looking to give Iran’s armed forces a boost with fighter jets and defense systems as part of their strategy against the United States, Taiwan based wantchinatimes reported Wednesday, quoting China’s Sina Military Network.

With the US encouraging its allies to gang up on China in the West Pacific and NATO pushing on Russia in the Black Sea and the Barents Sea, the report said, Beijing and Moscow are striking back by investing their efforts in the Middle East and in particular, Iran-a country that continues to be a tricky issue for Washington.

As part of this strategy, China is said to be aiming to provide Iran with a new fleet of advanced fighter jets, while Russia is considering selling Iran a new missile defense system, the network said.

The US will provide special operation forces, aircraft and weapons for NATO’s rapid reaction force based in Europe, said Defense Secretary Ash Carter. Washington’s new contribution could result in the increase of US forces in Europe.

Washington will contribute intelligence and surveillance capabilities, special operations forces, logistics, transport aircraft and a range of weapons, Carter announced on Monday in Muenster, Germany after meeting with defense ministers from Germany, Norway and the Netherlands.

NATO’s rapid response Spearhead Force in Europe might reach 40,000 troops, a tenfold growth from the initial 4,000-strong force deployed last year, the military alliance’s chief said. Most of these troops will be stationed near Russian borders.

If NATO threatens Russia’s territories Moscow will respond to the threat accordingly, said President Vladimir Putin. This comes after he announced Russia’s strategic forces will be getting over 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles in 2015.

On May 19, Azov and Novocherkassk Large Amphibious Assault ships left Novorossiysk for the Mediterranean. To fill in the gaps in the report, these ships aren’t there to help their crews get a tan or even to “show the flag”, but to deliver vitally needed supplies to the Syrian military which would not have held out this long without them.

Inside source: Putin will not abandon Syria or Ukraine ~ Once again, probably for a hundredth time we hear that Putin will betray someone. They said, he will betray Novorossia, but this has not happened, then the same tune was heard about Syria.

It’s time to once and for all clarify whether he will or will not betray them and if the Americans will start bombing Syria. So far we have said that bombing Assad is impossible, now, we’re ready to say more and reveal the cards of what we believe will happen in Syria.

The West claiming that it is satisfied with Iran’s terms and commitment to the nuclear deal, has pushed it forward for formal signing in upcoming months. Predictably, while this satisfaction should in theory lead to the lifting of sanctions, the West has made no gesture of good will to do so yet.

Russia for its part has begun lifting sanctions. This includes an oil-for-goods deal it has established with Iran, as well as delivery of several S300 anti-air missile systems. The missiles in particular, left undelivered for 5 years, may significantly complicate any attempts by the West to betray Iran in the signing and honoring of the current nuclear deal. With the procurement and effective deployment of S300 missile systems, Iran will find itself behind a “missile wall” that will drastically raise the stakes for an already potentially risky act of military aggression against Tehran by either Israel, the US, or both – or Saudi Arabia who has recently begun unilaterally bombing its neighbor Yemen.

It is quite obvious that Russia cannot substitute the West, and in particular European countries, with someone else. It is impossible for historical and cultural reasons, the abundance of industrial relations, geographical proximity and so on.

Moscow can however substantially weaken such dependency through the strengthening of political, military, financial and economic relations with other countries which are friendlier and less susceptible to pressure from Washington. Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) holds a special place amongst countries friendly to the Russian government, and strategic dialogue is being actively developed with it.

It should be mentioned that the visit to Moscow at the end of January 2015 by the special representative, the foreign policy adviser of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Akbar Velayati, was highly valuable to the development of Russian-Iranian relations.

Cooperation on regional security is not of lesser interest, especially in view of prolongation and intensification of crises in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen. Positions of Moscow and Tehran coincide on the majority of aspects. They are particularly interested in the restriction of American, Saudi Arabian and to some extent Turkish activities.

This allows to raise the matter of Moscow and Tehran creating new security systems in the Near and Middle East, Central Asia and South Caucasus. The distinguishing factor is that the said systems of regional security will be founded on a non-bloc basis and consideration of the interests involved in this process states.

Drills for me but not for thee: NATO launches war games near Russian border

Thousands of US troops and hundreds of tanks have poured into Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the past two months as part of an operation dubbed “Atlantic Resolve.” In February, 140 NATO vehicles and 1400 troops swept through Narva, a mere 300 meters from the Russian border.

“As you connect countries, there is almost a line of US troops,” Defense News quoted Col. Michael Foster of the 173rd Airborne Brigade on March 2 as saying. US forces have previously held joint war games with Baltic nations, with names such as “Saber Strike,” “Spring Storm” and “Flaming Sword.”

Russia announced a massive surprise military drill earlier this week, putting forces all over the country on high alert and conducting exercises in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, the Arctic and the Far East. The ongoing snap check of the military involves about 76,000 troops, over 10,000 vehicles, 65 warships, 16 support vessels, 15 submarines, 200 warplanes and helicopters.

Czech anti-war activists have launched the ‘Tanks? No thanks!’ campaign to protest the procession of US Army hardware through the Eastern European country. They say it has been turned into a “provocative victory parade” near the Russian border.

A fleet of heavy transport aircraft will reportedly be capable of moving a strategic unit of 400 Armata tanks, with ammunition, to anywhere in the world. And probably at hypersonic speed, enabling Russia to mount a global military response.

According to a new design specification from the Military-Industrial Commission in Moscow, a transport aircraft, dubbed PAK TA, will fly at supersonic speeds (up to 2,000 km/h) and will boast an impressively high payload of up to 200 tons. It will also have a range of at least 7,000 kilometers.

A fleet of several dozen PAK TA air freighters will be able to lift 400 Armata heavy tanks, or 900 light armored vehicles, such as Sprut-SD airborne amphibious self-propelled tank destroyers.

This means delivering a task force the size of the former NATO and the US troops in Iraq, in a matter of hours to any continent.
