the head of the pentagon confirms that the us military shot down a chinese probe . according to biden, on the website of the military department , the device is called a reconnaissance balloon, which allegedly observed strategic objects. the american media report that the search for the downed balloon is now underway. well, here is a message from literally the last minutes, with reference to the white house press pool, biden said that he had given the order to shoot down the ball, as early as february 1, as soon as possible, but the pentagon recommended waiting with this, well, from this whole story, the moment of which is being followed

america has been waiting for long days, the chinese balloon is finally shot down happened. it's in the skies over south carolina, where the umbrella was blown by the wind earlier in the day for what appears to be a simple pentagon operation by civilian authorities. i had to block a fairly large section of airspace immediately over two states. in the east of the country, three airports did not work ; planes flew over the restricted area. so on your screens you see a fighter trail not far from the balloon, and then there is a small flash according to our data , usaf aircraft can follow the balloon with modern equipment and then launch homing missiles, apparently this is what happened the white house refused to shoot down the umbrella before. since he was on us soil, the debris from the rocket could harm ordinary citizens, and therefore the us military had to wait until the balloon was in the sky over the atlantic. now there is a collection of debris, they are precious

, because, as the local press writes , the special services will have to work with them. they want to find out there, after all, a reconnaissance probe. flying over united states nuclear facilities states, this is further evidence of the helplessness of the biden administration at the federal level. remember the exit from afghanistan which dealt a blow to the reputation of our army, our commander in chief. and now china is mocking us. this ball should not have been let into our territory from the pacific coast at all. it shouldn’t be here at all . i’m worried that our authorities are not aware of what is inside this ball, or maybe there is a biological weapon. or maybe he flew straight to us, we didn’t care about this we don’t know the balloon, in a few days the chinese probe flew across the entire territory of the united states northwest to southeast, occupying an altitude of 18 km, which is much higher than the corridor for flights of civil aircraft, but beijing denies the involvement of its balloon in the championship.

this is a civil airship used for meteorological targets due to the winds and the inability to independently control the airship strongly deviated from the planned course. the chinese side regrets the inadvertent entry of the object into us airspace due to force majeure circumstances. pecky calls the espionage report outright speculation, which certainly will not lead to the normalization of bilateral relations. and it was precisely for this purpose that anthony blinken was going to fly to china, but because of the incident with the balloon of statehood, the us secretary of state postponed his visit. although he admitted that the quote could still reach the heavenly space, if the conditions allow, they will directly depend on what the investigation of the american intelligence services will show, if you are told that the ball was still intelligence, then relations between china and the united states will drop to zero, experts predict emil merzaev . a plane with russian servicemen who were released from

ukrainian captivity landed at the chkalovsky airfield near moscow, as reported by the ministry of defense, 63 fighters returned home at the airfield , and my colleague evgeny petrukhina also met. il-76 landed on board, the russian military 63 people today. frees journalists have already set up the equipment are preparing to record interviews with each in their own way a poignant conversation eugene short today, for the umpteenth time , he rereads an sms message from his daughter, daddy , i love you very much and miss you. i really need you. well, maybe emoticons. it's just that this phone doesn't accept emoticons. i had tears in ukraine, one of them was 4 months old. someone seven, at the end of december , our military exchange was told that it broke down over and over again , it happened and the day before yesterday they had already boarded the bus. yesterday they stood for two hours, again they turned around again, brought these cameras. that is

, here is such a moment, that is, they seemed to have left on a bag, dressed a little bit, and, as it were, again came to the side. russia does not want to choose. yes, and then them. well, of course, i understand that in captivity, our guys were put under tremendous psychological pressure by the ukrainian pre-trial detention center, they were broadcasting propaganda programs on the radio from morning to night for months on the radio. well, everything, everything is negative energy for six months. it is very difficult to endure ukrainian propaganda and we did not know what was really at the front, what was on our territory, like ours, relatives, those who returned today from ukrainian captivity would have to be rehabilitated, in

including. work with psychologists, but of course, the main thing for them is to hear the voices of vladimir rudakov's relatives on the phone. two daughters and a son are waiting at home. yes, the long-awaited meeting is already at hand. very glad, of course, that he returned home. thanks a lot again to the guys for pulling us out of captivity. i think all the guys will support. that will appreciate their very great work done. i want, honestly, a piece of meat, and i want some kind of cake and some kind of sweet. i don’t know, probably, some of napoleon were already on the plane, when they flew to moscow, they attached st. george’s ribbons, because that they fought for their motherland as it was 80 years ago evgenia petrukhin alexander botkin artyom kuznetsov alisa osipova lead in gorlovka as a result of shelling by ukrainian militants one person died in donetsk under the rubble of a high-rise building per one dead under the rubble there may be more people two

dimensional residents wounded in just a few hours, the kiev army fired more than 20 shells and artillery at the kirovsky and petrovsky districts more about the situation evgeny davydov ukrainian artillery fired at donetsk, a whole package of hailstones - this is universitetskaya street, the very center of the city, shells hit the roof of a five-story building, well, fucked. so, be healthy everywhere fragments of broken bricks under the rubble can be people. this is artyom street and another hit. and the apartment on the upper floor is completely destroyed, as the neighbors say, from the moment of the impact there was a family of three . now the rescuers have arrived here and will sort out the rubble. the room is three rooms. it's all one apartment, and it's still going to the other side. there are three people there. this

like two brothers and a spouse, in addition to residential buildings, apparently, a 122 mm shell went deep into the ground, hit broken glass in nearby buildings. canada in donetsk does not stop the sounds of explosions throughout the city in this high-rise building a shell flew right through the window, a direct hit on the apartment on the sixth floor. it was the kitchen. here is the refrigerator stove. the blow was so strong that the partition between the kitchen and the bathroom collapsed in the apartment at the time of the shelling ; there was no one from the neighbors on the floor below; the ukrainian military used it as heavy howitzer such jet artery. here

, opposite us, then further the roof, after two houses, they saw one, yes, and here, in front of us , there is a floor in general, which is generally from the balcony. now there are no hundreds of shells, of nato caliber, they fire daily, they are fired chaotically. excuse me, i went home to the shelling of donetsk do not go unanswered . the first army corps is crushing the enemy in the avdeevka direction , the clearing of the marinka is being completed, combat aviation and artillery are working out in the fortified areas of the armed forces in the ugoldar evgeny davydov yaroslav borisov mikhail emelin andrei rudenko ole bondarenko lead the formation of zelensky from the donetsk people's republic and struck at the airborne brigades. air defense destroyed another 13 drones. alder missiles were intercepted, and haymars also had one rocket . denis alekseev collected the latest data on the course of the special operation

. and in in the severskaya area, the movement of troops in their own lost about 250 more soldiers and officers , 13 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. artillery works clearly everywhere artillery from distant positions clears the lines, reliably, covering the infantry in the areas of settlements of the kramatorsk ugol -donetsk people's republic, two warehouses, ammunition and rocket artillery weapons of the armed forces were destroyed. station counter-battery combat production, usa here for example, the tornado s complexes, after operational reconnaissance from the air, the calculations receive the coordinates of the targets; these struck at

the accumulation of military equipment, a couple of volleys of 12 shells are enough for the militants to receive significant damage. accuracy ensure guided missiles worked in counter-battery anti-battery hurricanes. so the battery of hurricanes is completely uh, the complex was destroyed and it became easier to use , simplified, and the work is now much faster, that is, the time has been reduced immediately, they left, aimed, and launched. and this howitzer calculations. in the east, other units are also covering coal fire with an intensity of 20 rounds per hour, on average, of these, they hit a cluster of militants and fly along the routes along which the allied forces are trying to replenish their supplies, equipment and weapons . . hoards of howitzers and rocket systems have all been eliminated, and in artillery there are decent losses. first, special operations of almost 4,000 field guns, plus a range of weapons and

a lot of tanks, otherwise zelensky would not have asked more and more loss of everything, in the same artyomovsk. grew up fold the american press writes. now that the next arms deliveries from europe have been approved, nato advisers are recommending that zelensky give the order to withdraw in order to gather resources for preparing an offensive, while the ukrainian army has been cut combat payments by the new kiev scandal, although the commander-in-chief, pledged, has not recommended in any way. the case did not do denisey lead two people were killed 10 injured in the explosion of a tanker truck at a gas station in mexico a strong roar was heard early in the morning after. behind him a massive fire started.

the cars around burned down to the ground. the number of victims was destroyed, the number of victims could still grow, the local authorities said and promised to provide all possible assistance to the families, according to official data, the reasons for the state of emergency were the human factor. colina paula told the ria novosti news agency the deputy minister of foreign affairs of russia, according to sergei ryabkov, the image of paula with a test tube has become a household name, this is the conviction of the american elite of impunity. history with supposedly proof that cancer is a weapon of mass destruction took place exactly 20 years ago about manipulations that continue to this day, anton dekin. there was no anthrax in colin paul's test tube, of course, but the powder of everyone scared everyone what the us secretary of state wanted by claiming that iraq allegedly released millions of lethal doses of biological weapons the entire 76-minute report at the un security council was built on a puddle worth every statement that i

do obtained from trusted sources. these are not value judgments. we provide you facts and conclusions based on sound intelligence paul's manipulation techniques and cia's beautiful presentation did not help to deceive experienced diplomats at the time security council refused to authorize the invasion of iraq but washington used to ignore international norms, the united states and allies attacked cancer without permission on march 20, 2003 , the islamic republic according to various estimates lost about a million people killed by weapons of mass destruction. in iraq, of course, they did not find it. powell later told the cia he was deceived i was over, than embarrassed. i was offended by congress president donald trumpswald condolizara used the same information, but it was me who made the presentation, so it was all blamed on me, but such is show business. yeah, he claimed that he was hurt by such a dirty

spot in his biography. however, the secretary of state could not help but know about the results of the special commission. the un created it to clarify all the circumstances in iraq, the chief inspector concluded. baghdad does not possess weapons of mass destruction, his testimony in 1998. called out a scandal in congress, the united states was most raged then by a senator. joe biden. the argument was that once the ritter is paid less than the us politicians, then it is they who should decide whether to fight or not, they decide. should the country go to war? solution that's why they get paid a lot of bucks, they get millions, and you silenced no reader. efti has a polyplood business and washington has excellent prey, so before the invasion , the country was exhausted with harsh sanctions. they caused a humanitarian catastrophe, hundreds of thousands of children died, but in the states they said that they did not

see this as a problem children died more than in hiroshima was it worth it i think it was a very difficult choice but the price paid is worth dragging cancer into a military conflict to impose harsh sanctions and then attack such a scheme, the united states is constantly using economic sanctions. then there is the demonization of the regime. this is also certainly such a well-known, uh, technique that the americans used in iraq and syria and libya and other regions and now use the ukrainian conflict, then a terrorist organization arose in the chaos of iraq. c igil, banned in the civilized world, by the way, the americans used it to destroy syria and send troops of their next coalition there. only russian intervention

destroyed the terrorists. and the americans themselves are not pumping oil from syria or iraq, the former british prime minister tony blair later changed for using a fake as an excuse for the invasion, but made it clear that the west was pleased with the result. actually, this is the basis of pak with the american world order, to which washington only agrees notes experts what they issue as a rule. this is actually a complete absence of rules in this situation, america, in principle , sends a month to the whole world. although i am deeply convinced that this is already an overdue thought, but they send and say, we now have no rules of the rule - this is what america does and so that this does not change, the states do not spare anyone now they are finishing off the european economy and trying to limit russia in everything and china , washington does not need competitors, but they dream of the free market. only idiots can get big money they like to talk about monopolies

on wall street, nothing personal, only business anton dadykin matvey popov has not arrived to lead the tank yet, and the media of the kiev regime are already celebrating some kind of triumph according to ukrainian propagandists. western armored vehicles will provide the apu, a radical change in hostilities, and this will happen almost in the near future. and what will we actually figure out right now in the stop fake program in russia 24. so let's start with the vaunted american abrams, which washington promises to supply to kiev in the amount of 31 units, citing yellow block resources. this is nothing but a capable iron fist. almost overnight to crush the russian army, and as a key feature they indicate the widely advertised uranium armor, they say, thanks to it the car becomes a little more invulnerable. true, it was precisely with the coating that the publication of the politician did not immediately set out that ukraine would receive tanks without it

, and that, there are quite definite reasons , they send the equipment that they are ready to lose. that is, they understand that their there they will get there. they may end up in the hands of the russians. this is the worst thing that can happen for a russian engineer to sit down. there i dismantled the filling and looked, what it consists of how they make their armor. there is one more point why this armor is secret, and not removed. they know that these tanks may simply not reach the battlefield. they understand that there are no serious people there, that all the timeless puppets for whom the main thing is to seize, as much money as possible comes out right, especially strong armor, someone simply lied, as well as lied about the timing deliveries were recently written to wait, they say, it will not take long, however, according to time magazine, in reality, it is at least a few months, and the washington post newspaper, citing an informant and in the us leadership, admits that the path of the abrams to the ukrainian front could take years , but svidomo journalists are so important

to clarify and try not to notice everything, and information operations on tanks are a kind of check of red lines. yes. that is, how moscow will react, how, and what kind of world will we undertake. well, the most direct, that there are information operations in order to remove again in the future, and our reflections and, of course, this is a test, so to speak, for strength. e western partners are so ready to keep up with their masters, however, even if you imagine the american tanks get to the front line of donbass from day to day , the main one of them will not become less uncomfortable questions. as far as the abrams, in principle, are suitable for the current conflict, the cars weigh as much as 62 tons and look quite impressive, but, firstly, without the same armor from united uranus, e, the protection of the forehead of the tower will only keep hitting, outdated shells with armor penetration from 350 to 470 mm. despite the fact that even russian lead ammunition, which was put into

service over 30 years ago, penetrates more than 500 mm, the second misfortune of abrams is a gas turbine engine with a capacity of 1,500 horsepower. it accelerates the tank up to 40 km/h on rough terrain. that's just a huge fuel consumption of almost 400 liters. at 100 km or 230 per hour. yes, and with weapons, not everything is going smoothly , the american does not know how to launch controlled missiles, and the effective range of fire, its guns does not exceed 4 km, therefore, our t-90s, equipped with reflex missiles with a radius. you , 5 km away, obviously have a clear advantage in good practice, they showed in practice, here are the same rebels in the middle east. yes , columns of equipment that fall into an ambush are destroyed even from portable infantry weapons. yes, there from rpgs from anti-tank missile systems basses, the rebels destroyed the most modern equipment, so here, as it were, well, their

magic technologies are not, and cannot be yet one problem runs the risk of becoming a human factor, zelensky’s couch troops happily picked up the us white house’s statement that crew training would begin in a matter of weeks and came to the conclusion that the nazis with such help could achieve the so-called liberation of the territory in a period of two to four months , but it seems that they did not take into account or did not want to take into account the time that the process of the higher mentioned training will take, judging by information from open sources, the minimum preparation. directly tankers, in case with abrams it takes about six months, and an in-depth maintenance specialist and even more here, of course, accelerated courses cannot be ruled out. but will they be of sufficient quality and are the states interested in forests that they are such, this is the most profitable business. take them away somewhere to your base, and then send them back, and after all, huge budgets are allocated for this, because no one wants to die.

but to cook ukrainians who will go to die is always, please. there is one more moment which somehow remains outside the brackets, and washington ties europe to itself. that is, they are forced to send even germany , which carries it. here is this historical cross of the historical curse for the murder of russian jews for the second world war, even they send their leopards. but why do they write off their air defense systems there, write off their tanks, so that later they can buy all this from the united states outside of science fiction , fake guns managed to turn the news about german leopards the very ones that the president begged for so long and persistently deposits, they motivate our warriors. fight for their own value, because i show that the whole world is with you, i have tanks here, take everything. i have 100 tanks. well , take everything, i have one tank. yes, i give it to you.

as a result, he got his way, and not only from germany, but also from third countries with similar equipment, and then loud headlines were not long in coming propaganda pathetically calls the leopard a deadly beast with an allegedly impressive set of advantages over russian tanks and great potential to literally destroy rustling. in short, in the face of an attempt to arrange a new cult around another imported handout, the cult of western weapons is a cult in the interval that it is. some kind of weapon that will provide, uh, the turning point of the war and the opportunity to win. naturally , this is very typical for ukraine, because for them, as it were, europeans, there are americans. these are people who are superior in intelligence in development in the state in everything. they are like compared to them, but more. well, lower. well, and accordingly, everything that comes out of there. it will be, of course, uh over technologies beyond weapons, while the real

capabilities of leopards, as well as other western supplies , are strikingly different from their images in the media of disinformation . the mass of the defense of the machine is 55 t, the main gun is a 120-mm smoothbore gun, a diesel engine with a power of less than one and a half thousand horsepower, combat use in syria, it seemed that the frontal parts of these tanks, vulnerable to not the most modern anti-tank missiles. they are easy were put out of action by the bassoon and competition complexes developed in the seventies. and from the sides. they pierce here with 30 mm shells. caliber, the second version of the leopard - two a6 one of the latest modifications. she has a long, 6.3 m gun. against five three, two a4 turret armor. she also significantly strengthened the tape with one and a half meters of cast steel; at the same time , the mass, 2a6, grew to almost 62 tons.

experts warn heaviness can play with leopards. as a cruel joke from abrams, and not just stuck in viscous mud, which the ukrainian fields are covered in spring and autumn, therefore, the predator is burning not so terrible and beautiful. with a precise hit , weak points are evidence, there are numerous shots from social networks filmed in the middle east but on the air in ukrainian. of course, their tv will not be shown now, the whole world is looking closely, not just at politics, not just at, but how this conflict is developing, first of all, at the weapons system. only military equipment will show itself in real conditions and it will be a huge plus or minus, but for future sales so that even if the equipment does not reach the front, it is necessary to create a certain informational background of the marketing plan, that is, it is necessary, and to present the west in beautiful colors. that she won them, in a word , the opponent’s argument in favor of leopards is lame in fact , prefers, for example, strange flash mobs with

celebrities dressed in spotted print, moreover , they were not embarrassed in leopard skin. even taras shevchenko is here, probably the time to make a diagnosis. although articles with a claim look no better on analytics, the authors of which insist that any german tank is better than any russian, but immediately contradicts themselves, recognizing that without additional armor they put a leopard very vulnerable to banal anti-tank systems. hence the weather at the front won't do most germans. they still perform. so the internal ones are against sending leopards and equipment, because they have fear and, according to opinion polls , 70% of people there understand that war can come to

the territory of germany, no matter what leopard-level qualities, but they understand that all this can come to them and experts appear there who begin to tell the greatness of german tanks that they cannot be defeated, impossible to destroy. in addition, the ukrainian media , unlike them, did not bother to simulate a battle with the participation of leopards, but it would be worth it . after all, this is how you can clearly see that the chances of success are not too great. since , during a hypothetical meeting of ten german tanks in an open field with ten t-90m , they will definitely win, the latter will have time, burn more than half of the enemy’s vehicles with a safe distance even before they reach the firing line acceptable to them. and this is by no means an unfounded statement, but pure mathematics based on a comparison of the range of aimed fire, as well as the rate of fire that they plan to provide. it is not clear yet how many tanks of the technology of the mid-eighties that were calculated for ukraine. mm, first of all, that

the war was planned. that's during the cold war. yes, that is, it is very strong armored along the front, there are, accordingly, weakened sides at the back. that is, it's like his problem is theirs. the application showed very big problems was lost in a very short time. uh, more than ten tanks, and it was in battles with posts, that is, they destroyed with the same rpgs there weren’t even any tank battles. and finally, something about the british challengers, or rather challengers, 2 according to the eyes of the head of the ministry of defense of the united kingdom. ben wallace should be available by the summer. that is, not fast. but the propagandists insist that the expectations will pay off with a vengeance, they say tanks are a nightmare for russians, and in general they have no equal among modern analogues. however, it is impossible not to answer the nuances to which the witnesses of the virtual dill. they close their eyes. one of

them is a modest number of these very challengers. only 14 pieces of the british. they just sneered at the ukrainians when they promise them challengers, when they set up their guards for zelensky, when they take zelensky’s main people there under their control, that is, they fully proclaim their rights to ukraine and they completely take all this into their own hands , into their reins of government, and instead of sending their equipment there. instead of quickly moving their troops there, they send 14 challengers and also, let's say, not the best there. the quality of the power of the english tank is also, frankly, not indisputable, or rather, fraught with costs, it is not unknown, infa the browser's garbage heap draws attention to its so-called super armor and a unique gun. although the shoes of the element are more likely to create a whole series of zelensky's militants inconvenience, firstly, the machine, superheavy to the original weight of sixty-four tons. they added additional armor sets and the total mass thus increased to 75.
