this is a type of bed fighting that has been largely unheard of in recent decades, and is now being revived, reminding us of the first world war, much like the importance of artillery in modern conflicts, it is a combat that can be less dynamic, during which defensive positions need to be strengthened. the most effective option today is still to have trenches that are quick to dig and very efficient. teaching stalwart defender, deploy throughout the transatlantic region as demonstrations of force and...

soldiers from 31 countries, allies and sweden, 20 thousand from the british armed forces. the british army deploys 16,000 troops, including tanks, artillery, helicopters, parachutes, helicopter forces, army and navy and army special operations forces. the royal navy is sending 2,000 sailors, eight submarine warships, a uk carrier strike group, and f-35 jets.

in the east of the european continent, the exercise scenario was planned long ago, after attacks by a nearby enemy on one of the nato members, the north atlantic alliance applies the fifth article: retaliatory measures. the invasion of ukraine 2 years ago changed everything. war in europe is no longer a distant hypothetical threat. right now, as we face a most dangerous and completely unpredictable global security situation, the staunch defender is sending a clear message: nato is ready, modernized and necessary. we.

at kendrew barracks, home of the brigade, desert and rats, 7th light mechanized the british army brigade has set off, we have just left the a1 with members of the 2nd battalion of the royal english regiment, this is a naval company, they are practicing a road maneuver on the fox.

all this, of course, is happening against the backdrop of the war in ukraine, i assume that this is not a coincidence. of course it's not a coincidence. it all starts in february, which is the second anniversary of vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. so nato is saying that if the alliance is going to stop a war, the only way to do it is prepare for it. this is what they do. they are showing the russians that they are ready to fight them now. there is definitely a feeling that nato wants to demonstrate to the russians and...

behind me is the american bradley ifv, the us military is conducting joint military exercises with the finnish armed forces for the first time, their goal is to show the readiness of nato forces in the face of the russian threat. russia

can really blame itself for finland's application to nato. we saw that russia can no longer be trusted and we are no longer we cannot manage our relationship with her on our own.

will supply quantities of them. plus, macron promised high-precision aasm hammer bombs , 50 per month, from france. the day before , a new batch of scalp cruise missiles arrived from france. this photo of a su-24m bomber in a reinforced concrete shelter appeared in ukrainian public pages. presumably the photo was taken on the territory of the stariye konstantinov airbase. a french rocket has already been attached to the plane. on it are inscriptions to hell with the racists with friendly greetings from paris. for reference: french scalps were repeatedly used for attacks on crimea, that is, all the lamentations of american and european politicians that they can no longer send military aid to ukraine due to the cessation of funding are nothing more than a smokescreen.

the west continues to supply kiev with weapons and money, as before. the pentagon has successfully tested a new long-range precision bomb for ukraine that is expected to hit the battlefield as early as wednesday, according to two u.s. officials and two other people familiar with the progress. negotiations, ukraine will receive its first batch of ground-launched small diameter bombs, an entirely new long-range weapon created by boeing that not even the united states has in its arsenal, according to four people, all granted anonymity to discuss the topic ahead of the official announcement. the new bomb, capable of... covering a distance of about 145 km, is expected to have significant potential for ukraine, one us official said. this gives them deeper striking capabilities, which they did not have and complement their long-range arsenal, the us official said. the increased range

will add new capabilities to kiev's arsenal at a time when fighting at the front has stalled and ukraine is looking for new ways to strike russian forces and infrastructure behind the front lines. discuss any supplies, but as i said, we continue to work closely with ukraine, with our industry partners, to ensure that ukraine receives and is ready to take advantage of the opportunities, that we provide to them, and as quickly as possible. the americans actually promised

to provide the ukrainians with this combat system last year, but only now the ukrainian armed forces should receive it, and this is a very effective weapon; the ukrainian armed forces already have the necessary systems to launch such bombs. thanks to glsdb combat systems , ukraine expects to significantly strengthen itself in the war against russia. according to experts, these american bombs can be used for both offense and defense. wherein in one salvo, thanks to the gps guidance system , you can hit six targets at once. according to the manufacturer, glsdb bombs can also be used against enemy armored vehicles. moreover, this missile system can easily bypass radio generators.

stuttgart, hamburg, frankfurt am main and cologne. hundreds of tractors, a pile of manure, burning tires, protests caused by discontent among farmers, low prices, rising production costs due to anti-russian sanctions, and cheap imports from ukraine. they give the authorities and neighbors a light. french farmers today came even closer to the capital, intensified. cadou of paris, peasants set up a field camp on the a6 highway or the highway

of the sun, as the french call it. macrons to the defense of paris, macron connected light armored vehicles to the defense of paris. bmps, look, lined up at the entrance to one of the largest international agricultural markets, rungis, to prevent the protesters from gaining a foothold there. and this is when the fire of revolution begins to burn or macron’s rating burns out. against such a background. the imf has visited the entire western world. it turns out that sanctions against moscow is closed again. the russian economy is growing, europe and the usa are falling. torn to shreds, according to one of the american presidents, this year it will develop faster than the united states. according to imf forecasts, russia will be one of the three fastest growing economies in the world after india and china with an indicator of 2.6% in 24. previously, the imf gave russia no more than a percent, and president putin just announced that in the field

of aircraft engine building, 90% of the components are already completely our localized product. aircraft engines, such as for the ms-21, russia has not produced it for the last 30 years, but now it is producing it, that is , some good sanctions have been introduced, everything has started to work everywhere. we have already done a lot, a lot has been done, but for example, in the field of aviation engines, 90% is already a completely localized product, 90%, but here we are, thank you for the applause, this is applause for those who do this, this is an outstanding achievement , here is the engine we made. pd-14 for russian- made ms-21 aircraft and for others for a number

others were not allowed in for 30 years , they started in the soviet union, finished everything in the eighties, the finish, now they did it, and on a new basis, modern, powerful, good, efficient , reliable, better than certain models on the world market. western economists explain what is happening by saying that the russians managed to rebuild. its economy in the shortest possible time, increasing military spending, accelerating the military-industrial complex, construction, manufacturing industries and it. russia compensated for trade with the eu that was lost due to sanctions with trade turnover with india and china. for europe, the coming twenty-fourth year promises to be one of the most difficult. things are worse in germany against the backdrop of the ongoing recession and industrial collapse. the maximum height that germans can count on will not exceed one and a half. prime minister mishustin reported that over the past year

more than 110 million square meters of housing were commissioned in russia. apparently, russia, if you follow the logic of western politicians, decided to first build more, so that later there would be something to fall apart, in the west they simply did not guess. being almost 2 years under western sanctions, the russian economy is growing, average income has increased, and the unemployment rate is at a record low . now we can say that in 2023 the russian economy behaved better than expected. government spending on the military-industrial complex will continue to be a key factor in economic growth in 2024. industrial production increased largely due to orders from the ministry of defense. the geopolitical situation forced russia to accelerate domestic production by reducing

competition for russian manufacturers , inspiring them to put into practice the idea of ​​technological sovereignty. the russian economy will grow much faster this year than previously expected as president vladimir putin's military spending will fuel broader economic growth, the imf says. gdp is forecast to grow 2.6% this year, more than double the rate the imf predicted back in october and slightly slower than the 3% growth forecast for 2023. these numbers will raise new questions about. supported by government spending on this can be explained by a strong stimulus,

the russian military economy, he said. we are being strangled and crushed from all sides, but we have become larger in size. the economy as a whole, first in europe, we overtook germany to take fifth place in the world, number one in europe. when we look at data from the us and the eurozone, in both cases inflation is driven by a jump in energy and commodity prices, but much more so in the eurozone. the eurozone was essentially in a much stronger shock directly exposed.

'there's maybe about 100 different choices of cheese literally and lots of choices of breads, right in front of me are shelves with bakery products, a huge selection, right in front of me is the most affordable sliced ​​loaf, at the best price 20 rubles per loaf, that's 25 cen, that's what something nice for 40 rubles, the choice

is very large, more than that. i have to say that i haven't heard of many brands here, so obviously when the russian companies left, they were replaced by russian brands, as well as other international brands, as we can see, sanctions had no more than zero effect.

western companies either continue to do business in russia or the russians have come up with an alternative. after 700 days , sanctions against russia appear to have become a physical failure. epic fail, this is already a meme, the internet, yes, about what the west is doing in relation to russia, how it manifests itself. let's move to donbass, yan dmitrievich gagin, in direct communication with us, adviser to the head of the donetsk people's republic, yan dmitrievich, hello, i made another statement today. putin, but it concerns just the means defeat, the president spoke about drones, let's listen, you mentioned, you mentioned an unmanned aerial vehicle.

of course, we still need to saturate our front line with drones of various types, various models, as the situation is now, as experts write, and such an expert community, we have a certain parity in drones with the ukrainian side, what do you say, yan dmitrovich? yes, hello, if we talk about drones, then in fact they are cheap and cheerful, as the president said, i ’ll just show you what it looks like. products used for reconnaissance, fire adjustment, and so on. the fact is that, if we compare them with artillery shells, which are now competing with, strictly speaking, unmanned

aircraft, then, for example, a nato-style 155mm shell costs about 8.0 euros alone, but such a drone costs, can cost 100,000 rubles, sometimes cheaper , so the difference is huge, the tasks they perform are, of course, quite serious, and, well... the same drones are in service with our enemy, very often products from the same manufacturer in the same countries, but we must pay tribute to the fact that our manufacturers, in fact , got their bearings and we were ready for this, for example, the same lancets, let’s say the guaranteed position of targets, this is the apparatus , the aircraft, these are the same halls, the same stc companies, that is, in fact, we have enough of our own products. which produced specialized ones specifically for the ministry of defense, and well, let’s say, now it’s important to saturate, of course , the entire line of defense with unmanned aerial vehicles, because they

carry out tasks to destroy targets, because, for example, the camika drone is the same fpv, it carries a cumulative charge that can destroy an armored target, but in fact this is complete competition with artillery, the only thing is that they will not be able to completely displace artillery, of course, because if there is no connection, i will deploy it. it’s quite difficult for the artillery to work at this moment, so we can talk about the emergence of a new type of weapons and , well, perhaps the birth of troops, or something, one might say so, i think that doctrines are already being written in charter, the use of drones will soon be included, because it is clear that this is an integral part of modern warfare, weapons that help achieve goals, what about achieving goals? how are we doing at the front, the president today touched upon one of the avdeevsky sections, saying that this is one of the most important sections, where we still have progress, where it is difficult, where it is easier? uh, well

, in fact, it’s already been several months since we switched to active operations, since we switched to offensive actions, practically along the entire front line, especially the donetsk sector of the front is active, including this ugledar direction, this is marenka, the same marinka that everyone was discussing recently, and now this further direction to kurakhovo is already an active direction - this is still the artyomovsky direction and, of course , the same avdeevka, about which many now they’re talking, the avdeevka operation itself is quite difficult and complex, because the enemy was preparing, the enemy was preparing for several years for this siege, for this assault, and naturally the operation can be compared, probably with the assault. or an assault on artyomovsk, because well, the enemy was really preparing , quite serious forces were concentrated there, in fact, the main object on which it was

assigned was a coke-chemical plant, which had to be first processed by artillery and aviation, in order to then go forward, i think that the avdeevsk operation will really be included in textbooks along with the mariupol and solidarsk and artyomovsk, now there is actually serious progress there, if... to kiev, when you have already completed your work there bickering? well, in fact, big problems and disagreements in

ukraine’s internal politics do not add stability.

i think that - well, it is possible up to an armed uprising, up to a conflict turning into violent actions. jaana dmitrievich, what a talented artist zelensky is, a talented artist, livanov, dal, mironov, yankovsky, how can you compare mr. zelensky with these values, i know exactly the story, when he got a job as an artist in russia,

he was not hired. this was back in pre-war times, but he went back, offended , it was probably necessary to hire him or something then , but it didn’t work out, thank you very much, yan dmitrievich gagin, in direct communication with us, adviser to the head of the donetsk people’s republic, we return to the meeting of the president with trusted representatives, another very important statement about our heroes, i will now remember about veterans, this is a group of veterans who are now fighting at the front.

russia is largely defeated, its military machine has worn out its teeth, secondly, it is about to attack us, and all of them

simultaneously. and if we are not well prepared, it will conquer everyone. why is this happening? because they are asked questions. question number one. dear friends, this has been going on for 2 years. where did you get us? we see that we have a recession in the economy, production is closing. you don't give subsidies to your own farmers. why is all this being done? you haven't achieved anything, have you? let's have peace talks? no, he says, no peace negotiations. how did you achieve nothing? yes, we broke the russian's back. beast, then the second question is, why then are you offering all this? arm yourself additionally, carry out maneuvers, it still costs money, but because russia can attack us after it deals with ukraine. well, you know, orwell even had a special definition for this in his immortal novel 1984. yes.
