not to mention a thirty-millimeter cannon will be fatal for a sea drone, so its operators can only rely on stealth, but modern russian radars can detect such drones at a distance of about 6 km, therefore, even at maximum speed, mamai will most likely be detected as much as 3 minutes before his attacks were shot in advance. so far we have seen that they are often discovered in advance and seem to be destroyed quite noticeably. so of course, how are the weapons victories, but this is to put it mildly, everything is very exaggerated, yes, they do not occupy, are not the main danger for the black sea fleet there or objects in the crimea, here this victory is rather connected with the fact that they were at least able to organize the assembly of at least something - then, because in terms of the military-industrial complex they have, let’s say, very little success. now to

a curious example of ukrainian delight in everything western. the american company wistingause, as it became known, plans to build a new reactor at the khmelnytsky npp. and then the emotions of the fake-throwers really started go off scale, they fantasize either about energy independence or about the transition of the independent energy system to a fundamentally new level. moreover, they boast without hesitation that there is nothing comparable to this project even in europe, but in reality, behind the pretentious headlines, there are a lot of problems hidden. this means essentially. construction of a new station, it is worth noting that in the usa itself, as far as i know, this construction has not happened for a long time, their own nuclear energy is in a rather deplorable and worn-out state, in general, even if ukraine would like to somehow get rid of the terrible dependence on russia there and acquire something alternative, then still... the choice in favor of the americans should

have been made last, but probably this is not an economic, not a technical choice, this is a choice, as it were, imposed on ukraine, because they depend very much on them. by the way, this particular ip reactor is usually mentioned in the context of various emergencies and technical malfunctions. one of its weak points is the material of the hermetic shell, it is susceptible to corrosion, and as a result , hypothetical radioactive gases can escape into the environment, but there are many. other shortcomings. when tested in 2009 , the main circulation pump failed within a month on the ap100, which were manufactured with a guarantee of 60 years of continuous operation. later, in the eleventh, it also began to overheat, in the thirteenth , fragments of the impeller fell off the pump. after 2 years, the americans announced that the damage had been repaired, but soon cracks were discovered in the turbine blades. eventually such a reactor at the vogl nuclear power plant in the state of georgia was completed only... 6 years ago, and

the final estimate was 34 billion dollars, estimated at 14 billion. and yet, the director of the ukrainian energy atom , peter kotin, has the conscience to advertise artysia as the safest technology in the world. the west is very jealous that russian nuclear technologies are actively developing, that we are moving around the world, and that we are finding new partners in different regions, on different continents and... so they, of course, want to interject their own spokes in this wheel, yes, that is, they want to say that we too, look, we in america also have our own technologies, in this case, the ukrainian media act as a kind of speaker, that is , this is ordinary competition, an ordinary attempt to discredit competitor, present him in a black light, and paint his technologies as the most advanced and modern, finally, an interesting example of western russophobia. from the tabloid bilt came out

a text claiming a sensational investigation into how russia allegedly is flooding the european union with migrants, somewhat specifically for this purpose, moscow has registered a dummy airline attention in turkey, so that planes take large groups of middle eastern and north african refugees, then deliver them from istanbul to belarus, from where illegal immigrants will penetrate into poland, amazing conspiracy theory, but conspiracy theory lovers will have to be disappointed , from which it all came, is engaged in transferring people to turkish resorts, this is an absolute tourist beach destination, and the germans, well, bilt they picked up this story in order to turn it on the turkish airline was launched, it is a topic that is beneficial to them, that is, to twist here a sore subject for the burgers themselves, illegal migrants, to win back the russian card, in the end the turks did not tolerate this and... the forces to ban the healthy it makes sense, no matter how

many ridiculous fakes are produced, which we will definitely continue to expose in the stop fake program on the russia-24 tv channel. well, let's return to the situation with the wounded, delivered today from belgorod to moscow by a special flight of the ministry of emergency situations 25 people were brought to the capital, including six children. the plane landed at zhukovsky airport, where three ambulance helicopters from the moscow aviation center were already waiting for it and... they, accompanied by traffic police vehicles, took the victims to the capital's hospitals. according to doctors, all the victims survived the flight well. they were accompanied by doctors from the spas center detachment, psychologists and specialists from the ministry of health. special teams of the ministry of emergency situations carried out medical evacuation of the wounded from the city of

belgorod. the work was attended by medical teams from the centros detachment of the ministry of emergency situations of russia, psychologists and the center for emergency psychological assistance, as well as representatives of doctors and nursing staff. there were 25 wounded on board, 15 of them were on artificial ventilation of the lungs , all non-negative dynamics were transported, everyone’s condition was of moderate and severe severity without deterioration, well, now to the messages that are coming at these minutes with the mark lightning , governor vyacheslav glotkov announced the shelling of the armed forces of ukraine village of krasnaya, shibekinsky urban district, an elderly man died and a woman was also injured. we are watching closely we will continue to look at this topic for more information as we receive it. come back on our air. well, next is the final release of the meteorological program. the heavenly office kept the intrigue until the very end. so what kind of weather should we expect for the new year? rain and thaw or frost and snowfall. we'll talk about this in the next 20

minutes, and here are some other topics we'll touch on. cold, damp, feelings of complete hopelessness. the weather will help the susushniks to meet. in a special atmosphere. by the way, why are ukrainian trenches so different from ours? hegemon felt the bottom. the americans announced the appropriation of a million square kilometers of shelf in the arctic. where do such appetites come from and how legitimate are the territorial claims of the united states? and neuros got to the weather forecasts. can artificial intelligence revolutionize meteorology? you are watching the main meteorological program, i am vadim zavodchenkov, hello! forecasts for the new year changed until the very last days of december, and the weather fever turned into storms, blizzards and freezing rain in different regions country, only fueled the main intrigue,

what kind of weather will surprise russians in the first days of the new year 2024, we will definitely tell you now the most... brightest cataclysms of the outgoing december. at the end of december, russia was gripped by weather fever. throughout the second half of the week , cyclones dominated the european part of the country, which made the weather extremely changeable. the southern regions of the country were at the epicenter of the disaster. these shots were filmed in dagestan. a strong storm arose here and tore the roofs off houses. and in total more than 100,000 were left without electricity consumers. and the wires fell, and this is the orenburg region, a blizzard was raging in the south of the urals, in orenburg itself, in just 12 hours , almost a quarter of the monthly norm of moisture fell at the local weather station, sometimes, by the way, the precipitation turned into rain, because the temperature rose to +1°. the most difficult situation

was on regional highways; the movement of freight transport had to be limited on the roads to ufa and saratov. in those areas of the southern urals where the snowstorms stopped, a winter rainbow and sunshine were observed on friday, while the temperature began to drop at the same rate. residents of the sverdlovsk region and perm region encountered an optical effect that usually appears in frosty weather, where in the morning the air in some places cooled down to -24-26, in omsk from zaotepel on the eve of the new year, skating rinks, slides and ice towns were closed. roadway and used for this purpose. cashmen had to remove melt water from equipment, which, as a rule, is used only in the warm season. only the south of european russia remained an oasis of relatively calm and warm weather. in crimea, kuban and other southern regions before new year's eve, flowers bloomed

and green leaves appeared on the trees. such unusual weather conditions were provoked by a powerful flow of atlantic heat, breaking through. as a result, in most regions of russia , the end of the outgoing year turned out to be warmer than the climate, and the most significant anomalies were recorded in the traditional... cold regions in the urals and siberia. here, the thermometer rose 10-15° above normal, and in some places records of maximum temperature were even recorded. atlantic conveyor smog stop only the blocking anticyclone at the borders of eastern siberia. by the way, it was he who caused the frenzy of forecasts. in the canon of the new year, this block should have been broken through, moreover. that this will happen in the southern part, where not so cold,

and therefore heavy, air is concentrated, but something happened that supercomputers could not calculate, the energy impulse of the cyclones was enough to push the ochak into the arctic, enclosing the yakut cold in its area, and hence the fragment the icy anticyclone began to make its way to the west, trying to freeze russian plain. on this night the temperature here is extremely contrasting. in the epicenter of stuzha, north-northeast of european russia, in some places the thermometers are below -30-35. in the northwest, thanks to the proximity to the baltic sea, frosts are noticeably weaker, down to -10-15. in the center, the night temperature is -1-6, in the thaw zone only the lower reaches, volga, don, southern regions and the black earth region. during the subsequent new year holidays, weather contrasts will continue; almost the entire northern half

of the russian plain will be covered by an anticyclone, so here, mostly without precipitation , abnormal frosts will strike, but the southern part of the region will be protected by cyclones, bringing with them clouds, precipitation and warmer air masses, having gained a foothold in the south of russia, the atlantic warmth will try to make its way to the north of the country by the end of the holidays, for example, in central russia in the coming days the frosts will only get worse, after january 2 in moscow in the morning the thermometers will show -20-23, at noon only -15-18 only on the eve of christmas, the sky will be covered with fields of snow clouds powerful warming, in the afternoon of january 7 to -2. cyclones raged all week in the northern military district zone , the weather, let’s say, was downright severe

, rains turning into sleet, impassable mud, a piercing icy wind, all this, of course, could not but affect the morale of the already demoralized armed forces officers, especially considering , what inhuman conditions reign in the ukrainian positions, and what kind of gifts in quotes, of course, is the heavenly office preparing for the enemy for... a year, let’s ask military meteorologist yevgeny teshkovets. evgeniy, what are your forecasts? vadim, ukrvoyaki certainly ca n’t count on a festive atmosphere. the weather in the nwo zone was difficult for almost the entire month of december. the ukrainian trenches quickly sank into the mud along with their inhabitants. frontline hospitals are overcrowded. in addition to wounds, the dry-haired people received hypothermia and frostbite en masse. hiding from russian artillery and drones, ukrainian soldiers tell their own stories.

stopped any operations using armored vehicles, vehicles stuck in the mud, an easy target for artillery, for example... on the other hand, when they stood in the donbass frosts, the earth turned into some kind of concrete and to dig trenches you had to pick up not a shovel, but an ax, chopping the earth, although if there are vacancies, you can come, in comparison with ukrainian trenches, a russian trench looks like a real work of art , here and... the systems are equipped, there are wooden floors on the floor, there is even a russian bathhouse, everything

is neat and thought out, why can’t ukrainian militants do the same at home. they probably don't see the point in this. the commanders of the ukrainian armed forces understand perfectly well that ukrainian soldiers they live on the front line for 3-4 days, so they can sit in the mud for a while. and then, why equip trenches if tomorrow they will be under the control of the russian army, and the money allocated for their arrangement can in the end... be put into one’s pocket, judging by forecasts, ukrainian fighters will have to flounder in trench mud for the first time days of january, already on the second day the north atlantic cyclone attacks the north atlantic cyclone, speed. rains will add another 5 liters of water per square meter without that waterlogged black soil, well and on january 3 , another unfavorable weather factor will be added to the intense precipitation - wind, gusts of which will reach 10-15 m per second; such weather conditions impose restrictions on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. it must be said that

for vysu this weather is to some extent even favorable, you can always blame it on your own. on other topics, the americans decided to grab a huge piece of the continental shelf in the arctic, no less than 1 million square kilometers of seabed than the united states we will explain in our material what motivated such a hasty expansion of the borders of the shelf and how such machinations are consistent with international law. unprecedented scale, the united states announced the expansion of the continental shelf in the pacific and atlantic oceans , the bering sea, the gulf of mexico in the arctic. in total, this territory covers an area of ​​about a million square kilometers, that is, the size of two states of california. the us state department emphasized that the continental shelf is a continuation of the country’s land territory and is not

causes territorial disputes with russia, but washington plans to carry out a settlement to resolve possible issues. treaties with canada, japan and the bahamas. the united states simply comes and says, you know, this is now ours, because we want it that way, that is, in this regard, they act as such a legal nihilist in international relations, and demonstratively ignore the interests of even their closest neighbor canada. according to the established procedure, before declaring any territory as part of the continental shelf, the state is obliged to provide scientific evidence. the americans claim that they collected data. 20 years, but they cannot share them with the commission, since they have not ratified the convention on the law of the sea, in fact, the states are asked to take their word for it. others, including those in our own country, may complain that state boundaries are being expanded without consideration by the un commission on the limits of the continental shelf. but since our maritime borders with russia and canada are fairly well coordinated, u.s. claims

for the expansion of the shelf are convincing until someone with rights and reputation challenges them. the first attempts to delimit the shelf were made 65 years ago after the adoption of the geneva convention. then they agreed to limit the shelf to areas of the bottom no deeper than 200 m. after the advent of technologies that made it possible to extract natural resources from great depths, they decided to adjust the criteria. now the boundaries of the shelf or exclusive economic zone extend up to 200 miles from the coast of the country or further, if proven connection of areas of the bottom with the main part of the continent. these restrictions were fixed. the un convention on the law of the sea in 1982, it was ratified by russia and the european union and another hundred and fifty states, but the united states did not sign it. years of exploration of the arctic, studying underwater soil, analyzing movements of the earth's crust, and even developing a geodynamic model that describes the evolution of the lithosphere over the past 60 million years. all this titanic work

accompanied russia’s submission of an application to define and expand the boundaries of the shelf. good. superiority or strategic advantages to ensure strategic potential for the united states in these territories for decades to come, according to bloomberg, in the declared areas of the continental ... a huge amount of important resources for industry, in addition to large oil and gas reserves, the volumes of which have yet to be clarified, are located there on the order of 50 different minerals, including rare and extremely popular lithium in microelectronics used in energy and manufacturing telur cars, and this is not counting sixteen rare earth elements, however , there is one thing,

it is not easy to extract offshore resources, but one day it will become technologically possible and economically profitable, the americans are already... trying to stake out the rights to the tidbits of the arctic. of the ten main scientific breakthroughs in 2023, two are related to weather and climate. the list of scientific achievements was published by saince magazine in december. research confirming weakening took an honorable second place in the top. ocean. in the surface layer , well-warmed water spreads from the equator to the pole, where this flow, cooling, descends

to a depth and returns back to low latitudes. let me give you a striking example: part of it is the gulf stream, and the important role of this mechanism in the planet’s climate immediately becomes clear. the current system provides a quarter of the total heat received by the northern hemisphere. on the other hand, sea water is the most important absorber of carbon dioxide, capturing about 700 million tons of carbon. and now scientists have found that due to the melting of sea ice and desalination of the ocean, the overturning mechanism is disrupted, so that in the coming years the circulation system may change irreversibly. and another scientific breakthrough according to version. related to artificial intelligence, neural networks have managed to predict the weather, more precisely the most advanced hydrodynamic models, can machine learning

change weather forecasting forever? let's ask pavel toropov. pavel, is a neural network revolution coming in meteorology? vadim, two the strongest scientific publications on the topic of artificial intelligence, which came out in 2023, truly turned out to be revolutionary. what is the essence of the breakthrough? nowadays, to compile a high-quality weather forecast, supercomputers are needed; in order to correctly calculate how atmospheric processes will develop, colossal computing power is required, because a huge number of parameters are loaded into the forecast model, and satellites play an important role in modern weather forecasts; without them, the quality of the forecast would drop by half , rolling back half a century. the main problem of weather forecasting is the limit of predictability of atmospheric processes. this is still in the middle of the past. century was indicated by the outstanding geophysicist, mathematician and meteorologist edward lorrens. a physically based weather forecast cannot be made for more than 2-3 weeks. and this is a very complex

computational task that requires supercomputer technology. only developed, rich countries can afford such things. to improve the accuracy of forecasts , so-called ensemble calculations are needed, then there is a whole family of prognostic procedures, which is extremely expensive. this is where the revolutionary idea of ​​using an artificial one arose. but it turns out to be more effective. experts used the results of calculations of the european center for medium-range weather forecasts model for 50 years around the globe

. this is a huge amount of data and subjected it to unprecedented statistical analysis. it turned out that with such a gigantic volume of information, a new computer program can, figuratively speaking, be taught to make a weather forecast based on what is already available. information. moreover, the forecast turned out to be even a little better than that. models from the results of which narosset studied , however, despite the revolutionary nature of the development, classical numerical weather forecast models will still remain in the arsenal of meteorologists and climatologists, and will undoubtedly be needed; it would be a delusion to believe that now we can discard all weather forecast models that were considered are now considered online every day, but discarding them and replacing them immediately with artificial intelligence is an illusion, if you read:

the emergence of supercomputers in the middle of the last century gave a powerful impetus to the development of meteorology, but today we are apparently experiencing a neural network revolution in meteorology. and at the end of the issue, our traditional section: the space weather forecast, which we are preparing together with our colleagues from the institute of space research, how the sun surprised astrophysicists in the coming year and will our star reach the maximum of the cycle in the coming year? results of solar activity for 2023 12 flashes of the highest score, that is, on

average. one per month, 360 weaker m-class flares. a year earlier , there were half as many such events. statistics objectively confirm the increase in solar activity. as for magnetic storms, which many are interested in, there were 40 days with magnetic storms this year, that is, approximately, well, about one storm every 7-10 days. we had the largest storms, as i already said, in march and april, that is, these were the largest storms of this year. and this cycle at the moment, that is, there have been no larger events since then. throughout the year, the sun gave out rather contradictory signals. the year began very stormy, already in february the largest flare in many years occurred, and in march-april there were large magnetic storms. and there was a feeling that the sun was almost at its peak, but from the beginning of may the activity began to fade and in the summer it went almost to zero. at the same time, the number of sunspots increased, some of them reaching

enormous sizes. to the point that they were peak values ​​of the previous cycle are broken. however, these records did not lead to an increase in outbreaks; by the end of the summer, almost all of the spots had completely collapsed. the second burst of activity began in september and lasted for almost a month. and again the sun, having exhausted its energy, went into hibernation, although not for such a long time. we met the end of the year with a new increase in solar activity. the largest outbreak in recent years has occurred. two or three magnetic storms occurred every week, although usually before...

the situation will change only in the second half january. that's all, enjoy the weather, whatever it may be. goodbye.

we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story.

we continue our news review. ukrainian troops once again shelled the belgorod region. governor vyacheslav glodkov announced this. according to him, the village of krasnoye, oshbekinsky urban district, was under fire. one person died, a pensioner who was in...
