In what Indian sources described as a major success for the IAF, the Sudarshan S-400 air defense system "shot down" 80% of the "attacking" fighter aircraft while forcing the rest to retreat. High-ranking defense sources told India Today that the recent military exercise demonstrated significant air defense capabilities of the IAF, once again justifying the acquisition of SAM systems from Russia.

Experts say that this could be because various US companies refuse to cooperate and share data. As for the US inferiority to Russian hypersonic weapons, it's now measured in decades, a fact that not even Western experts deny. Still, the mainstream propaganda machine regularly talks about the US military's plans to "dominate hypersonic weapons" with missiles such as the "Dark Eagle", even though the Pentagon is yet to conduct a verifiable successful launch.

Military sources report that the Su-57M is now being used deep behind enemy lines in Ukraine, although it was previously expected to be ready no earlier than 2025. However, with the recent reshuffling in the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD), as well as a massive increase in defense spending and the mobilization of the Kremlin's world-class military industry, it's very possible that the program has been sped up significantly and that the new variant is already being used in combat operations.

These US-made jets are heavily outclassed by Russia's top-notch fighters, in virtually every category, so employing them in a purely conventional military role simply doesn't make sense, as they won't make any difference. Another somewhat less gloomy possibility is that the political West could try to use these nuclear-capable F-16s as a bargaining chip in a potential new "peace summit" that Russia could be invited to. As NATO and the Neo-Nazi junta are becoming increasingly desperate, anything can be expected.

🧿 Drago Bosnic is back to Talk about the not so weekly news roundup, from a different undisclosed location.

In this Talk we learn how NATO has started to lament waking the [Russian] Bear; what the Serbian Orthodox Church has to say to RioTinto; how the Indian Armed Forces proved the effectiveness of Russian Air defense - and that The Pentagon seconds the motion; and SU57s doing deep strike missions in 404.

Also in this episode : No nazis in Ukraine; German-led EU wants war with Russia; Birds aren't real - Chinese bird drone; Maduro speaks; what do the Russian nuclear exercises mean?; Russian propaganda [military recruitment] video.

🧿 Never forget the ethnic cleansing of Serbs from 'Srpska Krajina' in Croatia, which happend under the name 'Operation Storm' (Oluja) and the supervision of NATO.

This is what was planned for the Russians in the Donbass before the SMO.

@WorkingBrother 😎

The political West is trying to shift attention away from this doom and gloom scenario by insisting that the F-16s will "change things", but this notion makes sense only if the Neo-Nazi junta gets nuclear weapons along with them. However, in that case, NATO itself would pay the ultimate price, a promise that the Kremlin has been perfectly clear about on multiple occasions.

If you thought the 500 km range was scary, try doubling it. Namely, recent reports indicate that a new variant of the "Iskander" missile system will now boast a 1000 km range. Both Russian and Ukrainian military sources designate the new missile as the "Iskander-1000". This also includes upgrades to its guidance systems, propulsion, warhead, etc.

https://infobrics.org/post/41876/

This serves as a test of what exactly Moscow would do. If it retaliates against Kishinev, the Kremlin would be forced to fight another war, although this could discourage NATO from basing the Kiev regime's F-16s in Poland and Romania. On the other hand, if Russia decides not to target Moldovan airbases housing the US-made jets, this could encourage the political West to use Romania and Poland for the same purpose.

Foreigners stand to gain very little (if anything), but can lose everything by fighting a military superpower that can easily eliminate them from afar. The best thing they can do is simply stay away, while those who have been naive enough to come and fight for the Neo-Nazi junta should pray that an "Iskander", "Kinzhal" or "Zircon" haven't been fired at their position.

I've had the honor of taking part in an online meeting and Q&A with Pepe Escobar, a colossus of geopolitics and a globally acclaimed journalist (a real one, not the mainstream propaganda machine kind). I don't think there's much need for more introduction to a person of his caliber. One and only, Pepe Escobar.

And last but not least, I want to thank XF (https://t.me/NewResistance), as well as Pat and his wonderful Thailand-based group who hosted Pepe. This would've been virtually impossible without you.

🧿 Brought up in chat, early days of the 'Breakup of Yugoslavia' - as it is called - I like to think of it as my childhood training in discerning propaganda.

Major-General Lewis MacKenzie (born April 30, 1940) is a retired Canadian general and writer. MacKenzie is most famous for establishing and commanding Sector Sarajevo as part of the United Nations Protection Force or UNPROFOR in Yugoslavia in 1992.
Evidence given at The Hague war crimes tribunal casts serious doubt on the figure of "up to" 8,000 Bosnian Muslims massacred. That figure includes "up to" 5,000 who have been classified as missing. More than 2,000 bodies have been recovered in and around Srebrenica, and they include victims of the three years of intense fighting in the area. The math just doesn't support the scale of 8,000 killed.

NATO wants to trigger Moscow to react in the most violent way possible. The constant usage of legal gray areas to target Russian troops and civilians is extremely frustrating, although the Kremlin has managed to keep its cool for the most part. For now, at least, as Russian patience, although unrivaled, has its limits. This is precisely why Moscow keeps warning against further escalation, but to no avail. The political West is determined to cause the complete destruction of the entire world with its certifiably insane actions and policies.

As one of the premier multipolar leaders, China is particularly disliked in the US-led power pole. Its unprecedented economic might and influence are seen as "dangerous", as it cannot be exploited (or at least controlled) by the political West.

Here's the entire meeting with Pepe Escobar. Enjoy!

There has been a copious amount of malevolent glee among high-ranking politicians in the United States, European Union and other pathologically Russophobic countries. All of them are quite happy to see that Russia is supposedly "losing". Which begs the obvious question – is it really "losing"?

http://infobrics.org/post/41932/

The most disturbing development is how Germany and its Bundeswehr have embraced their Nazi past right at the time when Berlin is getting ready to be the spearhead of the new EU/NATO-led crawling invasion of Russia, including by allowing previously banned medium and intermediate-range missiles on German soil, once again bringing Europe (and the world) to the edge of an abyss.

The sole reason the highly unpopular Kishida stayed in power for three years is the lack of remotely serious challengers, both within the opposition and his LDP.

Could anyone please remind us how did this go the last time?

🧿 Drago Bosnic is back to Talk about the last week's news.

In this Talk we learn how the Russian offensive in the Donbass goes unnoticed as the media focuses on Kursk; how Russia upgraded the Iskander, by adding fuel; French troops are dying in Ukraine; why NATO and 404 are scared of China working with Russia.

Also in this episode : Drago breaks down being a part of a panel with Pepe Escobar - and the revelations of an attempt on Putin's life in St. Petersburg not long ago; WW3 avoided despite western maniacal provocations; is Russia really losing in Kursk, NATO (Poland) practices strikes on Kaliningrad, 'failure of Akhmat forces' - distilling pure British propaganda designed to sow interethnic tension in RF AF.
