Orenburg region, Russia is being re-equipped with the "Avangard" strategic missile system with a hypersonic glide unit.

On December 13, 2001, US President George W. Bush announced the US unilateral withdrawal from the Treaty, after which, according to the provisions of the treaty, it remained in force for another 6 months, until June 12, 2002.

The Treaty on the Limitation of Anti- Ballistic Missile Systems (ABM) was signed on May 26, 1972 by the USA and the USSR till the US withdraw from it in June 12, 2002.


It forced Russia to develop hypersonic weapons. Vladimir Putin: “We had to create this [hypersonic] weapon in response to the US deployment of a strategic missile defense system, which in the future would be able to practically neutralize, nullify our entire nuclear potential.”

Here it is: "strategic weapons systems of a completely different type, which will fly at hypersonic speed and will be able to change the trajectory both in height and in direction."

🇺🇦🔌💡People in Odessa protesting about the electricity blackoutfor 4 days by blocking road.

"There may not be light and heat for more than one day, but for a week or two" – Lviv Mayor Sadovoy.

Residents of one of the neighborhoods of Odessa came out to protest against the power outage: according to them, it has been missing from the houses for the fourth day. People accuse the authorities of inaction and unwillingness to solve the issue of resuming power supply.

What is happening is a clear example of a systematic fire impact on the Ukrainian energy system. The country will not be in a total "blackout", but the failure of transformer equipment and other similar facilities destroy the unified structure.

The network is gradually breaking up into separate "islands" that are not connected to each other, when areas in the southern part of the country can be powered by nuclear power plants in western Ukraine. With each new massive raid, it becomes more difficult to do this.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky was a rather interesting Russian politician, who entered the political scene in 1992 and remained very active up until he passed away in April of 2022. He was known for being very outspoken, passionate, and for behaving oddly at times: once he threw a glass of orange juice at his debate opponent on live TV.

Zhirinovsky often spoke of things that people laughed at. His crazy ideas seemed to be so far out there that he was viewed by many as a clown. However, a lot of his seemingly insane statements are no longer laughable, as they have been coming true. See for yourself.

Can you spot Petro Poroshenko? He's there, listening.

Military Hospital named after N.Burdenko develops and introduces new 3D-implant-modeling method to fully recover critically injured patients' limbs

Here's some Med Man wisdom.

How can you judge a man's character?

You judge a man's character by the way he treats someone who can't benefit him in any way

If he treats that person well, then he's probably an O.K person

If he treats that person shit, he's probably a shit guy.

Iran will help Russia build drones for Ukraine war, Western officials say
Moscow and Tehran are said to agree on a plan to assemble Iranian-designed weapons on Russian soil
By Joby Warrick, Souad Mekhennet and Ellen Nakashima for the Washington Post

Moscow has quietly reached an agreement with Tehran to begin manufacturing hundreds of unmanned weaponized aircraft on Russian soil, according to new intelligence seen by U.S. and other Western security agencies.

Russian and Iranian officials finalized the deal during a meeting in Iran in early November, and the two countries are moving rapidly to transfer designs and key components that could allow production to begin within months, three officials familiar with the matter said in interviews.

The agreement, if fully realized, would represent a further deepening of a Russian-Iranian alliance that already has provided crucial support for Moscow’s faltering military campaign in Ukraine, the officials said. By acquiring its own assembly line, Russia could dramatically increase its stockpile of relatively inexpensive but highly destructive weapons systems that, in recent weeks, have changed the character of the nine-month-old Ukrainian conflict.

Russia has deployed more than 400 Iranian-made attack drones against Ukraine since August, intelligence officials say, with many of the aircraft used in strikes against power plants. ...

For Moscow, the agreement could fill a critical need for precision-guided munitions, which are in short supply after nine months of fighting. The arrangement also offers substantial economic and political benefits for Iran, the officials say. While Tehran has sought to portray itself as neutral in the Ukraine conflict, the appearance of Iranian-made drones over Ukrainian cities has triggered threats of new economic sanctions from Europe. Iran’s leaders may believe that they can avert new sanctions if the drones are physically assembled in Russia, the officials said.

Details of the Iran-Russia deal were finalized in the early November meeting, which involved a team of Russian defense-industry negotiators who travelled to Tehran to work out the logistics, according to security officials from two countries that monitored the events. The officials agreed to discuss the matter on the condition that their identities and nationalities not be revealed, citing the need to protect sensitive and ongoing intelligence-collection efforts.

A separate delegation headed by Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev travelled to Tehran on Nov. 9, to discuss, among other topics, economic sanctions and other “Western interference” in their governments’ affairs, according to state-run Russian and Iranian news media.

One of the officials briefed on the secret agreement described an aggressive effort by both countries to facilitate production of Iranian-designed drones inside Russia.

“It is proceeding quickly from decision-making to implementation,” the official said. “It is moving fast and it has lot of steam.”
