the front is gradually approaching, rolling back to the west from donetsk. we work often, expenses big, the gun is accurate, so we can afford to hit right there with an accuracy of meters. the calculation is in the shelter, the team for now... a whole forest of young birches has grown here for camouflage purposes, this is what it looks like if you look at it from above, but if you look at where these barrels are growing from, these are artillery shells, when the leaves dry up, changing these barrels costs nothing, third shot, third shot, third shot, yes, victory will be ours, and this is already a self-propelled gun in duty mode, also tirelessly striking targets, shooting must be opened within... a few minutes, the main task of the crew of this self-propelled gun gvozdika is to support the actions of the attack aircraft, when the shooting is most intense, the barrel can, as they say, heat up to red, only studying mathematics, higher applied, yes, i have a family of bankers, i had to, at an unscheduled target i

opened fire in two in 3 minutes, already at the duty target in 10 seconds, well, of course, the main suppliers of what is called content are the uav unit, they film their own work and enemy equipment they are striking. also a video recording, it can be anything, either a dugout, a building, a firing point, a vehicle, an armored vehicle, anything, that is, it all depends on what task comes to me, there are shots where the enemy simply soars into the sky, there are shots of dugouts rising, well, that is , i can’t say that my work is monotonous, and night is not an obstacle to work, in the most literal sense, here an enemy car hidden in the trees immediately gives itself away in the thermal imager, its heated glowing body. any, well, projectile can be assembled in their own way. uh, the same system can be assembled, well, in completely different ways. it won't affect the efficiency. this tank crew just came out of the battle camouflaged their t-80. there were moments where

you couldn't see, zero visibility at all. they broke through, tried, drove through. the task was accomplished. the task was accomplished when the equipment in front suffers. it has to be bypassed, that's when the mechanic says, that's it, he says, i'm going blind, that is, i can see everything from the turret, that is, i'm leading the mechanic, and the main thing is that they returned, that is, all our interlocutors - that is military personnel. the fifth brigade named after the first head of the dpr alexander zakharchenko, this is the former people's militia, the former first army corps, and now the 51st army. most of these are those who stood up to defend their native land back in 2014, and many were still schoolchildren then, not at all expecting a military career. i studied to be a cook, a pastry chef, sometimes i cook, sometimes for myself, sometimes for someone, here for a birthday, a cake for a birthday can be decorated. according to the decree of the president, now the fifty-first army is a guards army. all guardsmen can be congratulated on this not only high, but also binding status.

grigory vdovin, dmitry vishkevich, gennady korneev and andrey rudenko, news from the dpr. israel's actions against lebanon may lead to destabilization of the military situation in the middle east , our permanent representative to the un, vasily nebendia, commented on the new type of escalation on the border of the two states. the diplomat condemned a series of explosions of pagers and radios in lebanon and emphasized that russia from the very beginning. lebanon and its citizens, which represents a gross violation of its sovereignty and are a serious challenge to international law. we consider what happened as another act of hybrid warfare against lebanon, which has affected thousands of innocent people. meanwhile, the israel defense forces said it had attacked three dozen hezbollah launchers and facilities in southern lebanon. the raid was carried out during a televised address by

the movement's secretary general, who promised israel a response to attacks by blowing up communication devices and called the explosions of pagers and radios an act of terrorism and genocide leading to a declaration of war. the victims of the explosions were 32 people, about 300 were injured. chronicle of the pager attack of the infusion in the material of denis davidov. these patients are immediately visible, bandaged hands. and the police and the army in armored cars on the approaches to the clinics. but most of the wounded have nothing to do with the movement, random

victims, about whom no one thought, sending the signal to detonate. this is a crime, is n't it, is there any other description, the one who has done more than a criminal, is a monster. iran offered help. in the islamic those who need urgent treatment from qualified ophthalmologists fly to the republic. entire medical flights have been organized. they are traveling in the opposite direction. iranian doctors to help their lebanese colleagues. the hospitals are overloaded, at the entrance we meet relatives of the victims. my nephew is there, the pager on his belt exploded. the doctors say that he was lucky and the injury is not very serious, he will recover, but how many innocent people suffered and died. lebanon must answer, we must give an answer. he saw the terrorist attack with his own eyes. at the funeral of his nephew, several people in the crowd , radios exploded at the same time. several men died. we were keeping young guys, into whose house an israeli plane launched a missile, they died after they went to donate blood

to those who suffered from the explosion in the pagers, israeli intelligence tracked them down, they died, and then at their funerals , radios started exploding, it's terrible. the whole country and the whole middle east were watching what the response would be. a few hours ago, the leader of hazbala, hassan nasrollah, made an appeal. we regard these unprecedented actions by israel as a transition of all.

the situation and to the region and so is in the shan from a full-scale war. how synchronously, 2 days in a row there were thousands of explosions, the world's leading publications, high-ranking officers are investigating. intelligence told the new york times journalists how explosives appeared in pagers, a large article about a modern trojan horse. according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation , at least two front companies were created to hide the real identities people who made pagers, israeli intelligence officers. wag took on ordinary customers, for whom it made

a number of ordinary pagers, but the only customer that really mattered was hezbollah, and its pagers. were far from ordinary, made separately, they contained batteries filled with explosives. journalists found the wag office in budapest, an inconspicuous house where neighbors rarely saw one person picking up mail. at another address in paris, the company did not have a production facility, but gendarmerie barracks. the japanese media is currently conducting their own investigation. the radio stations that exploded the day before were manufactured there. my colleague sergei mingazhev has more details about this from tokyo. samples of the products are on display at the headquarters of the japanese company icom in osaka, including the model that exploded in the hands of hezbollah members. this is the battery, it is charged and then attached to the device in this way. according to the company, this model of radio was discontinued in 2013, and the last

batches were sent abroad, including to neighboring countries. east, were delivered in the fall. how was this done? the device itself is filled with very dense electronics, there is no free space at all. if explosives were used, then most likely they were forged to look like our battery. the published press release reports numerous cases of counterfeiting of their products shortly before the cessation of production. at the same time, the lack of a holographic seal on the footage from the explosion sites does not allow us to say whether the devices that were blown up were genuine or not. the management of the japanese company promises to follow the information for a more thorough investigation, giving the truth to understand that it is unlikely to help establish the true circumstances of the incident. all radios were manufactured in japan without intermediaries, at a single plant in wakayama prefecture, supplies were carried out in strict accordance with the security protocol of the japanese ministry of trade, and sales took place through official distributors. supplies

to hezbollah of gadgets stuffed with explosives. this is not a one-off action, the israeli intelligence services have been preparing for several years, creating chains front companies that supplied dangerous devices. we are dealing with an enemy that disregards all international norms, showing no mercy to anyone, can this continue, where is the opinion of the world community, can this be accepted by the international community, where is the united nations, the un was created with a fundamental duty to promote peace, but where is the world before...

what is remembered about this day in history, we will tell you right now. hello. on september 20, 1378 , the roman catholic church was shaken by

an event that was called the western or papal schism. the main thing is not to confuse it with the great schism 200 years earlier, when the church split into catholic and orthodox. now the struggle for the throne of the pontiff has unfolded. quite recently, the so-called avegnon captivity of the popes ended, when they were subordinate. the first pope to return to rome was a frenchman, pope gregory xi. when he died, the people demanded an italian pope. the conclave elected urban vi, originally from naples, but he began a reform that infringed on the interests of the cardinals, especially the french. he was excommunicated and replaced by clement vi, who returned to france in avignon and became the first antipope. he was followed by the second antipope, benedict. the rivalry between the roman avignon popes was attempted to be settled at ecumenical councils, but this only led to an increase in the number of pontiffs. at the same time, there were as many as four popes. the final split, which caused considerable

damage to the reputation of the catholic church, was overcome only 100 years later in the middle of the 15th century. on september 20, 1918, at the height of the civil war in russia, 26 baku commissars were killed. in soviet times, this tragic event was presented as a feat of fighters for a just cause who died at the hands of the white guards and english imperialists, this is what happened: after the revolution, power in baku passed into the hands of the city council of people's commissars, but due to defeats at the front, the council had to cede leadership function of the government of the central caspian, which relied on the british. the people's commissars from baku decided to flee to astrakhan, but their ship was caught and returned. they did not have time to condemn. turkish-azerbaijani troops approached baku, in sumotokh the commissars fled again. they arrived in krasnovodsk. and there they were arrested by the anti-bolshevik transcaspian provisional government. the prisoners were taken to ashgabat, but on the way the train was stopped and they were shot.

however, in reality only some of them were commissars and bolshevik activists, the rest are journalists, soldiers and sailors. sergei yesenin wrote about the twenty-six baku commissars in balad, monuments were erected to them, films were made about them, and today historians strive to separate truth from fiction and objectively assess the events of those years. 90 years ago, on september 20, 1934, soviet polar explorers did what... what was previously considered impossible, they passed the northern sea route from east to west without accidents in one navigation. that day, their ship fyodor litki returned to the harbor of murmansk. there had been more than one attempt before. passage alexander sibiryakov lost a mushroom shaft with a propeller completed the journey under homemade sails in tow. chelyuskin was crushed by ice. litki was not an icebreaker, but an ice cutter. it did not push through the ice, but cut it with a stem, which was considered an outdated

method. but, the expedition members, led by vladimir viz, chose vladivostok as a starting point in order to pass the most difficult part of the route in the summer, coped and also freed the ships of other soviet polar explorers from ice captivity, removed and swept away an english steamer. they constantly conducted scientific research, measured temperature and salinity surface layer of the sea, observed the tide and ebb currents, and mapped the ice. based on the results of this colossal, complex work , a solid work was published, scientific. taty expeditions nalitki. september 20, 1988 margaret thatcher, the legendary iron lady, the first female prime minister of great britain, attacked supporters of a united europe. she spoke in the belgian city of bruges. emotionally and harshly. the story is as follows. in seventy-third, the british joined the european economic community, but the expediency of political integration caused great doubts in them, especially in

thatcher. having taken. part of europe and committed to european values ​​and traditions, but pointed out the danger of centralization of power to the detriment of national sovereignty, customs and traditions of each country. her words flew around the world, we did not move our borders back for that and...
