we're talking about what will be discharged into the sea in the pacific ocean, which is opposite of where, you know, korea is basing in the 1st place. the people in india have been love seen read over the humble tomato prices have skyrocketed by a whopping 500 percent following a recent crowd failure in some regions, prices of hit almost 2 and a half dollars per kilo, surpassing the cost of petrol by some distance. heavy rains in storing temperatures in the country have hit output badly along with some farmers also reporting prop light. we heard from locals to say the price hikes hitting them deep in their pockets, and even rotten tomatoes are on affordable. now that delightful run, a small food stole is becoming tough for me. do this installation. these price hikes are here in my pocket. so i like to bounce. those were easy to purchase, but now the price is sized. so it's the affordable to buying them. this inflation

is preventing us from cooking, with some offices that home to monitor them on that uh, tomatoes have become very expensive. regular people are not buying them so on sold tomatoes. now shops are all going to about how this tomatoes here are, right? we are a lot more over the tomato shortages, are feeling a crime wave in the country. several farmers in southern indian states reported multiple sets our entire tomato crops while vendors and cities have been forced to hire security to protect the precious perishables. even fast food restaurants, such as mcdonalds, have stopped serving tomatoes on burgers, in many parts of the country, the shortages having gone unnoticed online either with a whole host of means sprouting up. the

economic political analysts, dr. silver will come on to tab believes, unlike other spikes in food prices. business leaders can't be held accountable for this one. i don't think so. any one has to be blamed spa this, and so definitely a plea, not the ruling party or the ruling governments because lots of arrest happens in relation to this. ty, it off the thing up there to match the prices cuttin, play those because of ons. there's another rain, rain form and honest, there's another drought default that's the production areas we have. there is a large, strong pump for the actual production. these got the effected in reston popped up india as well as in southern fall pumping down because up on so it's another rains

as well as on since another drought before that and as a result of the heart of his gun discharge. so if we have to blame on, if we really have to take the flight value, this of course mother nature and no one else that's such that's are up for now. but coming up post manila chan takes a deep dive into modern missiles, including hypersonic projectiles, with a renown military analyst, and what a weapons expert. next, on modus operandi, thanks for joining in the the, the hello,

i'm manila chan. you are tuned into modus operandi as the conflict in ukraine continues and the debate about supplying arms to the care for shame, rages on. we'll take a look at what sorts of weapons the collective west is contending with. while the us boast itself as the supreme military in the world and the main supplier of arms to ukraine, does this arsenal actually stack up? in terms of modern capabilities? we'll talk to a retired russian naval engineer who breaks down exactly what these modern missiles can do. all right, let's get into the m o. the you may have heard the stories about the ghost of t f or the midst of snake island early on in the ukraine conflict. by now, you probably know they were fake news. there was never

a ukrainian top gun fighter pilot who took down dozens of russian jets. the soldiers on snake island never cursed out the russian military before being blown up. in fact, they were actually captured safely and then arrested. the story of martyrdom never happened. the more recent stories, however, are ones that defy the laws of physics, their tails of text versus tech, missile capabilities and advanced arsenals. since you create a is not a manufacturer of these products simply the end user. today's fairytales are that of russian military technology versus those from the u. s. u k, france and germany. and to be perfectly honest, i am certainly no arms expert, much less have the science background to explain how, how these things work. so we will bring in a man who is an expert with the proper technological training in their development . andre martina is

a retired russian navy engineer. he's got advanced degrees in engineering such weapons nowadays. andre is a writer and analyst his latest book called losing military supremacy, the myopia of american strategic planning. and you can see more of his musings on his blog at smooth the x 12 dot blog spot dot com. andre, thank you so much for joining us today. so 1st i gotta ask you, for these people paying close attention to the news on the conflict and ukraine, we're hearing many different types of missiles are being used. can you give us a brief, no pun intended, crash course on the differences between some of these missile systems such as, you know, cruise missiles, glide bombs, the ballistic missiles, and especially the new hypersonic missile systems. um, lets start from the m tier list. i know the type of phonics it because there is a lot of confusion involved this a situation,

especially in the west or hypersonic. nice. so is the missile, which weiss or for the aircraft, which flys with the speed above mach 5. that means a 5 speeds of the sound, but here is the problem and this has to be in the problem for many years now, since a russia announced the deployment of the operational high performing the weapons. for example, bodies took nice out for inter continental bodies. took me file is the messiah, which weiss, with many more speeds of sound, for example, mock $27.00. and this by the finish and makes us supersonic except for one thing. those new 5, like in the body sickness, as even if they fly by the suppress projector, they still fly evolve. they have a source atmosphere. in this case, it's kind of moved to point if they help us so many speeds are found because they flight barcode the after jump, the reaction it in the open space. the space as when know approximately the size of

the elevation of 100 kilometers from the appraisal, the earth and but watching more than a hyper sonic nice ahl's are i've been nice as which why with them earth atmosphere, if sitting the speed of song by flies and the more by to rossi is the only country which causes access and the voice and actually use this thread. devastating effect on the full spectrum of the, of high performance nissans. for example, one of those measles is that the control, the cell which is known as iron bodies, stiffness, it is missed which flies in cost, right? but at least it's red. yeah. that means the bark or would slide pretty much as a new body stiffness out. it also flies on the bob board, fly being powered by each engine, then the engine shots, off and on the file. as you know, basic physics tells us, be useful. why?

well as a ballistic missile, ballistic project that you're not going out of there. so in advance that they can maneuver throughout all of which storage you have to rate, including especially to their products from the founder and they fly with the loss of just a few show. you can try velocities between ma, from 9 am them. now we're beginning to have their feedback that actually it's down fly within my the kid. they both are not interest at the bulk but in shot despite the fact that it's still being maneuverable. definitely come back to all of which flight on the if own power a call l y 3 m 20th through zillow on your file, which most all of the more than the russian ships carry this as a full blown cruise. and you saw this a smoke bodies stick off of outside, but least of all iron. nobody's thickness. i like a job, which is the one from the aircraft. daphne silex 3 m 20. com. it's uh,

genuine impact shipping and the length of basketball is miss out because it flies all over its flight path on that is a ball work using strategy at which going some good powers it. and while it keeps the thought of, it still operates on that it's own power, the velocity of, of the circle. and that usually is around from a mock 9 to also a mock them. and the new version of the older one which is coming up would probably be in excess of mach 13. and that's the type of quite per sonic weapons we are talking about. and there are in the last, so just be facets of those hypersonic nice sizes, of course. strategic uh, type of funny uh, gliding blogs, gold, one guard 2 regiments of this. i haven't gotten the file blocks driven by there. one is there a russian who used to be desperately just miss our system, gary

a regular body still cox accounts like me or multiple independent 3 of the vehicles now those celiac new style, so that america carriers of their own garden blocks which have their speeds in access of march 27th and they fly by basically gliding at over there are a or at most here. and there are also many wearable a 3 types of those new fast. they are comfortable both from that are and this are carpet fun. it can be sounds very slow, but it's a glass of cruise missiles. you can see one of them is which is of course americans may be gm, one all 9 lam, a tactical landed back in the south on the hawk. russians kept the variety. oh, those nice houses, they are sops on you like 3 and 14, which is great. most caliber while a russia is also the point. hi supersonic, which is why the dispute of are kind of funny,

can decides about still high supersonic speeds. and these are mazda 2 point, twice the marseilles, such as p 800 on x. and this all goes nice house and they vary in the range and they actually it by religion and are in terms of the targets that select that for. so i think so that's pretty much, it was 40. yeah. we for going back to body sickness as a classic ballistic missile. so which one of the things that 1951st avenue south, which on the fall or flight due to deliver those are what it's called the a boss. basically, it's the same, so to speak, where you have the number of them years, a multiple in the front of 3 and 3 basic costs which are thrown into space and them fly their accelerate, and then fly with scholastic body sickness science. without mind, you worry. and that's what used to be basically a domain, say all that,

and you called at the gardens both and saw me if you any i'm and the roster and united states nova base, everything change in this respect. and now we have seen russia most recently, use glide bombs to devastating effect in the past few months. why are these weapons so affective and why can't, who crane or in fact, their western benefactors really develop a plan to respond to these types of bombs? well, um, saturday, typically ukraine have some type of there are different systems for example, delayed or worse of which they have 19 eighties. uh uh, for example of the es $300.00 and they have some poor m won a short range or the process of they separately to, to south intercept at least some of those bombs. but russia was pretty successful in suppressing a air defense old there. what that was left up with an armed forces of your brain,

including those restaurant supplied weapons such as like, nice arms. they just got enough in percent, those live in bonds. and now obviously they are much free or are in terms of operating and watching those blogging dams, bloss, most of them are beyond the range of what's left of their uh, premium air defense. so in this frontier 4 case, yeah, there, there's very little they can do, you know, they might get like you're shooting one or 2 maybe, but they will be able to sustain any kind old there are. you want me to getting off . i'm going to strikes against those bumps, they will what it's called in military science, lee car, the leak are being the project our me saw which been afraid to the air defense, a russian scouts manual, those leak or a snow of days precisely the costs, the ukraine air defense was part of the successfully, i would say 9090 percent of was suppressed. and i later or, you know,

they can all of those operations what, what's happening now recently ukrainian forces claim to have taken down a russian tinge all missile, which is part of russia's next gen h. s. m arsenal. they say they took it down with the us patriot air defense system 1st. can that be true? and is there any sort of anti missile system that can take down and it's just um, at present or, or is there anything being developed to counter them? and if so, what sort of capabilities would those things need? did you create a new implants? a company called the office of western media immediately started to spread this absolutely all morning. no air defense complex copying austin, all of annual nature or concrete equity in the united states can pick and shout out that uh us, we're not talking about the one pack $1.00 pay through the back one, which is it was

a joke. it was the small performers on the far as golf. floor box on the latest or some of the page or on the back. 3 employees name made me file, which is m i m one. 04 f i believe it's uh, speed is uh, 4.2 my 4.2. if i super sonya black north hypersonic me so which will not simply sustain the jewels which it needs to intercept you on the getting charles why of mark there? it's one thing, secondly, there are all due to, to this, me solve that. so i'll just be apart from the range which is beyond the reach is 20 kilometers. give us all flies actually at the height or 30 kilometers. and then if that's, it's well, it stops get vertically down. so united states doesn't have any technology. we just capable intercept something like in job or for that matter, slower and less of the mass is from there. the bodies took me file. so this of

course was or cakes and you start peach was before the graphs with the actually the concrete bought the boat, the top young lady that is getting shot, it was debunked already by many military professionals and all the rest of the united states. i'm up, you've been talking about europe and is nowhere near to produce anything which can actually need to gauge the sol, walk on the phone. it can be as files, it'd be there in shaw or 0. call left alone strategic hypersonic blocks such as they're all on god. this is completely out of the question. and uh, in terms of air defense, united states, actually these back behind the rush or not in years is in generation. yeah. so the problems here is obviously the, primarily a media circus. yeah. and uh,

obviously the jump are they trying to push now there is nothing which can stop it unless there and decide of itself. you know, it just breaks down and then that doesn't reach anywhere. but ukraine didn't should, in your thing. in fact is you're frank, i'm not sure most of in you find the new styles or girls rifle launches there. and here comes the other thing in order for you to intercept something like a hypertonic weapon. i actually presented some basic operational, impractical a calculations in my 2nd book. there are no other ocean in military affairs and you have a very bizarre chance which is rather slow basically. uh it be uh, not significant at all. uh, you should probably have very many styles which creates some kind of a scream down say i really, you might somehow get it, but no, you cannot shut that down,

drop us for it. and there is another thing that how you want to develop the firing solution against the targets, which most like you may not even see you too, is flying in. there are couple blogs my got home and which is my new word and both. uh, well, actually, every single russian miss out is when your ring on its final terminal approach and some of them are new or violent. and so you're, there is no way they can. and i suspected that was fake news that the patriot system couldn't take down the control. i'm glad you cleared that up for us now. hypothetically, how would israel's iron don't fair up in that match up? for simple reason, i don't don't, is basically designed for an intercept in, in actually quite substantial wholesale quantity is all there all come off and has, well, with this corporate to shot records, both are slower bodies stick. uh,

you know, uh tablets. they accelerate tools sometimes my one point to i believe, but most and most of them are even stopped sony. so and their idea because they are very easy to track and develop firing social for something that's when you already can see clearly on your radar or any other means of detection and tracking. so yeah, in terms of the more than the warfare on the battlefield, it gives them more than all strikes the fonts, especially if wine would defy supersonic speeds, it's absolutely useless, right, coming up next unintended consequences. a multi decades old warning comes to fruition. joe biden ignores american advice from the past. we'll discuss it when we return with andre montana. sit tight, the m o will be right back. the

the, the the the the

the, the welcome back to the m. o. i am manila chance. so it's not a new idea in us foreign policy circles that america should avoid any clustering that could push then the soviet union into alignment with china. though the ussr is no more the union between russia and china seems to be unfolding before our very eyes. the andre marty and off is back with us. so andre many critics of us foreign policy say the west and unintended consequence in their actions in supporting ukraine and pastoring and tie. one have now drawn russia and china into this new alliance and military block that could counter us position as

a military super power. we already see this alliance, as evidenced by the c s t o, the collective security treaty organization, with russia and china. obviously, anchoring that group. how do you see the russia, china partnership shaping up in the years to come? should the collective west be concerned? when you fall on the spam, the united states is not a land silver power. it cannot stand in the commercial war in europe against the russia. for example, they know this most people in front are gone. cool. i'm not funny to go gregory. or they know there are a combination of the military follow flashing, trying to search only one, putting the new york on spry man or the core on us foreign policy today, they still consider china to be the 5. it's number one. they felt that they wrote disposal for us are really for asked of the to do one and a half years involved. but now they need to deal with trying to,

trying to equal moment to the doors, the united states. we looked at on the hall, our trying are, is not as uh, established power as a rushing terms of what image also made it to. and here's where the united states drive to a leverage. one, the less advantage is across united states because excellent. maybe it for all of it's for up of problems and for all of it's nearing up so lessons. but when you put it together with their excellent, yes, maybe submarine for us, which is monitored by the chinese one. you will see immediately why russia they are try know, i'm trying to, especially this is a rasa is where you, pardon me, the 3 a lot different. so russia may pro, i am already east providing china with the required knowledge and operational expertise. we're trying to might news in case the united space on strong volley for world war 3. because if i'm only if you are union or alliance, which for the, the fact the largest on looks like the are russians and chinese moines in that

direction to increase at all. now, conversely, on the us and nato, how them ukraine, the us cannot seem to meet the demand. is russia really going to be in that same position as the u. s. o collation strategic miscalculations which actually denotes and it's a sign of the death of there is a base or a grilled order. approximate economy is the fact that the united states and i wrote 3 books on there never had a clue about the size of rocks on the call. maybe. it wasn't mixed up with on stage of the rush up right uses number of new styles. more than the whole world combine. yeah, they don't understand how often the calling me on the works and they don't understand how russian military industrial complex operates. and russia opera uses the united states in every single apartment. united states actually may combine in every single category of their uh, unit 3,

material. be them new size to be themselves. be them. thanks be them. what have you . you can take a look at the speed with which russia are original, weights and updates. is nuclear submarine force us right now, and how many sheets of rush approaches as bill from now? yup. is astonishing. and there you go. so it's a little cold. so obviously as usual, and now they expected to, you know, basically tumble or you know, crumbled within a month or 2. they evidently, people that don't understand what the real economy is. they cannot now any final thoughts or perhaps predictions on how the course of this conflict and ukraine is going to play out over the next. i don't know, let's say this year. i paid for it. as of this me, he'd been cassandra, a personal course. i cannot know, possibly i don't have enough information, only people who have information about all their army, the 3 political thought in russia journal style from the books places you'd be able

to get near or around them. but i would say that we are seeing that and all on sources of your grand, actually a rush. i use finality as i speak 3rd iteration. oh, there are a ukrainian army and um, and if you want to see what is going on, i will, uh, you know, ask people to go back to december 2021 in the russian circle, ultimate, all, everything there is already a state are very clearly what the roster, one store chip and it's a little bit it will be that you the rolling nature of baptism or the 1997 borders . yeah. would you be problems now? very possible. very probable scenario. this integration was made as such. and uh, when you look at these steps, i would say russia, it, you, more than that, you will next step step and it will continue onto

a rush approach to build the land bridge between on your phone or reach on and across new street. and the people who bear left off your brain, if anything in russia will be dictating crappy deletion condition. so that's pretty much it. that's what i'm expecting. the andre montana. thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. now. make sure you check out andre stuff at smooth the x 12 the number 12 dot blog spot dot com and check out his newest book called losing military supremacy. thank you so much, andre. oh, thank you. all right, that's going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chance. thank you for 2. and again, we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the

goes without saying nature was a very aggressive military alliance. who would have thought that in the core of its belief system was believing in uniforms. the bike administration's decision to set a cluster bombs. ukraine demonstrates this. the, the, the kremlin reveals that president, met with the wagner groups commanders, including for goes in a few days after the attempted. you need to discuss their faith with the washington decision to send widely bad cluster bombs. 6, you have not only anger's a hostile countries, including russia, china, and somebody else,

but also america's close nato allies. china is a strong, friendly shoulder for russia to rely on got some message from the russian parliament, care woman, after thoughts with president she g.
