the forest at the epicenter disappeared, and only ashes and fragments of hooves remained of the animals. it would seem that the effectiveness of nuclear weapons is obvious. in addition , the most powerful artillery preparation and aerial bombardment since the storming of berlin began at the same time, but the exercises showed a completely different result. an atomic explosion in itself does not bring automatic victory and does not solve the problem of breaking through the defense. after the explosion, the infantrymen in protective equipment. went on the offensive against the positions of the imaginary enemy, it was impossible to throw a bomb at the forward positions, it was possible to hit their own, the tanks received critical damage only within a radius of 300 m from the epicenter. at the forward positions, the effect of the explosion was blurred, the minefields did not burn in the radiation, they had to be blown up, while, if you believe the declassified report on the results of the exercises, the radio and rap worked after the nuclear explosion. the nuclear strike itself did not

completely solve the issue of the enemy's reserves. naturally, a scenario was worked out with the use of tactical nuclear weapons in defense. the blues threw a dummy bomb. conclusions were made, including on these results. to at the time of the tutsk exercises, five similar exercises had already been conducted in the united states under the code name "dezertrok". in total , eight military exercises were conducted at the nevada proving ground in the 1950s with... thousands of american soldiers were regularly exposed to radiation in conditions close to combat. in their positions, they operated without protection in standard desert uniforms. statistics were entered for each participant in the experiment: what bomb they were exposed to when, what illness they had, how much this indicator was above the average for their age group. worldwide fame

received footage of us infantry posing under a nuclear mushroom cloud, in popular culture, it was made famous by a short video instruction from indiana jones on how to escape an atomic explosion in a refrigerator. in fact, this is not such a big exaggeration. the tests were announced in advance, in the fifties in the usa there even emerged such a phenomenon as nuclear tourism. by the scheduled date , people were arriving in las vegas, about 100 km from the test site, to watch the grand spectacle, now if we look at the attempt of the americans to put pressure on north vietnam, it was carried out in a non-nuclear mode, but in the same logic, controlled escalation, flexible response, let's slowly increase the degree of impact of bomber aviation on the object in the north of vietnam, and hano and haiphong will leave the technical option to bomb them as a reserve. case of intimidation, nothing

worked, as they drove weapons and ammunition along the hu chi minh trail, as the northerners fed the yeodkong guerrilla movement in the south, so they continued to do this, and thanks to their exceptionally high pain threshold for bombings were insensitive, that's why most likely the then founding fathers of the idea of ​​a limited nuclear war for good purposes of course, but... were not mistaken, because those on whom, in fact, the decision in that situation depended, in the sixties, later in the seventies, eighties, i mean the headquarters of the strategic air command, here are the professional military, who compiled the target lists, which every year edited the so- called single and the greated operational plan, this is actually the main staff draft of the nuclear war plan.

potential, here the only well -developed options at the level of theory and practice was a full nuclear hall always up to and including the eighty-ninth year, it was sometimes broken down into chords, but in fact in the headquarters of the highest american headquarters in all these flexible answers in fact they did not play, it was an element of such rhetorical processing of the masses, that is, it was strategic rhetoric, it was a document, a political-strategic document, announced ... the public, but in the top headquarters there had a completely different accounting, of course, well, although everything has changed, but as it turns out, it is sometimes useful to remember what was before, thank you very much, thank you, our guest was alexey krivopalov, when discussing the confrontation between russia and the west, the image of great britain inevitably arises, it has become entrenched in our culture, and now the main permission to shoot at russia is expected not only from washington. but also from london. about

the origins of rivalry after advertising. james baker promised gorbachev that the borders nato will not be expanded, there was such an agreement, and the last straw was the cia-supported coup in ukraine in 2014. and as for the special military operation, it is connected with the protection of the russian-speaking population in

lugansk, donbass, and crimea. thank you for inviting me to this program. for me , this is a chance to feel peace of mind, knowing that i am contributing to peace on earth and goodness. in those old days, when there were no gadgets, people used magic, but beat yourself over the head, you have a nickname, where it is necessary, that's what they call me, because i am not taking there, where you are a fool. he who has a flint in his pocket does not need a pen, uh, uh, what started, flint, i can not live without traveling, soon.

when they told me that in the center of moscow we are going to assemble a spacecraft and prepare them for launch, for me it sounded like something unusual. in bureau 1440 it is possible to do a full cycle of development of tests of spacecraft, we should depend minimally on the outside world, and we had to develop all the devices and all the software ourselves, this is a magnetic field, in the center - this is a model of a satellite, that is, what is there

thinks that i am a satellite, i am flying in space, we are increasing the number of satellites that we can launch rockets due to the fact that with their engines the satellites then fly to the desired orbit. i want there to be no place where there is no internet, so that you can sail along the white sea, send cool photos to your family about how wonderful it is here, how great, the future is definitely absolute hybridity, absolute mobility, we need technologies that will seal that very absolute mobility, there is a popular expression, the englishwoman is shitting, some trace it back to... but the idea of ​​the eternal conflict between russia and britain is rooted in the consciousness. london is now kiev's most decisive ally under any cabinet. when did this start? not so long ago, less than

200 years ago, in the second third of the 19th century, from the thirties, especially the forties , little by little. such a pair of rivals is formed in the large asian space, rivals in the construction of the empire, the russian empire the british empire, acute fears from great britain will be expressed in publicistic terms, for example , urquhart, a very famous character in eastern affairs, eastern politics, in particular, he will be, and this will then pass to marx, this is a funny moment in my opinion, urquhart will even insist in the fight against the policy of the british cabinet to suspect palmerston of being a russian spy, marx will sound this including in the fifties, in russia, perhaps, in the forties

the attitude will be much calmer, rather due to the fact that britain will not be very to come into focus here, it will be very peripheral, it is noteworthy that in the twenties in the forties. in relation to russia or the russian empire, here is a subtle point in relation to whom exactly, but nevertheless, vienna will speak out, austria will speak out, moreover, it will even come to the point, this is such a completely forgotten plot, but it will come to the point that some, including semi-official, official persons will suspect, guess the austrian hand, for example, in the decembrist uprising. a turning point for the perception of england as the main opponent the crimean war became, but not immediately.

the crimean war will lead to the realization that the russian empire has practically no opportunity to inflict any significant sensitive blow on britain. britain is able to choose the place of action, the place of the blow, the russian empire can wait for a blow from britain. anywhere, from kronstadt, or revel or riga, ending with kamchatka, and to keep forces in this entire space, being ready for an english attack, there is no way, and to seriously hurt something british interests are unclear how. but this feeling of powerlessness spurs on the one hand a whole series of projects, resistance, on the other hand, this readiness to see the english hand anywhere. actually, all

this will unfold in the sixties, seventies , in what we know as the big game, primarily in the space of central asia, and where there will be great rivalry, including in the advancement and one of the aspects of russian expansion into central asia, is the idea of ​​the possibility of delivering a sensitive blow to england, reaching india. moreover, the important event here is the fifty-seventh year, the sepoy rebellion, stronger, let the bodies of the condemned scatter in the wind, why is he not tied, he is a prince, do not be afraid, i will not run away, a gun, have you changed your mind?

revenge on the russians for the death of his family during the suppression of the polish uprising, but the publisher asked not to politicize this side, and he became mute. prince sepoy dakar, a fighter against british colonialism. such are the french echoes: russophobia, with anglophobia, the big game was very special type of confrontation. the parties in their rivalry are not bound by the restrictions that bind them in the european space. accordingly, there are a lot of agents on both sides, which is significant , who are officially neither military nor diplomatic agents of either the russian empire or the british empire, hence the mass

of such characters who do not have official status, like merchant travelers - english, penetrating into central asia, hence a whole series of similar russian characters, operating somewhere... in the kashmir region, this ambiguity and turbidity will really strongly contribute to the image of the english trace, which can be found in the most unexpected things, and just a literal formulation, here is almost an englishwoman shitting, and sometimes literally, naturally not in official papers, but for example in such semi-official reports related, for example, to turkestan, at the turn of the seventies, eighties, the speech will be quite serious, here in a very similar already not diplomatic vocabulary, and in its

britain will also have serious grounds to imagine this omnipresent russian interference. the hero of the spy novel by ready ard kipling, kim, is an irish youth who grew up as an orphan in india, where he confronts malicious russian agents, who are depicted with undisguised hostility, greedy and cruel. including the threat of a military clash with great britain, when britain introduces its fleet into the sea of ​​marmara,

the straits are passed with the permission of the ottoman empire, when it is almost a question of... a military clash literally on the shores basfora, right after this the russian mit will go to make an offer to the afghan emir, moment, make an offer to declare him caliph instead of the ottoman sultan, and yes, the talk will be about the fact that we need our own caliph, just great britain will react quickly here, the emir will be forced to flee from the british troops, who will directly enter afghanistan, the second afghan war will begin and with all the twists and turns, but this speaks about the degree of the clash, including attempts to form such a an alternative center of islam, including the idea, of course, connected with the recent annexation of central asia with the russian

capture of bukhara, with the status of khiva, among other things, here. with all this context, but it is precisely the crisis of the eighty-fifth year that will serve to ensure that - in the russian consciousness the englishwoman gairit will recede into the background, it is precisely the clash of the eighty-fifth year that will ultimately lead to the settlement of border relations in central asia , an agreement on peace will be concluded in 1986, an agreement on afghanistan, moreover... the idea of ​​buffer states will be discussed in different ways since the forties, since nesselrod, well , just when the two empires find themselves literally on the brink of war, this will activate - the search for agreements, then a chain of agreements will begin throughout asia, and by 1907

the decisive agreement will follow, the agreement: on persia, which will open the way to a cordial agreement and the fact that russia and great britain will become allies during the first world war. it turned out right according to today's recipe: escalation for the sake of de-escalation, there and back. the british intervention in the early soviet period will fit very well into this entire system of image representations. and the image, well, starting simply with a conspiracy of ambassadors, starting with lockhart, where, in general, everything, everything that had been accumulated over the previous half-century, if not more, will fit well, plus the fact that here there will be no need to stretch the owl too far, since

indeed at that time, including in great britain, not only at a private level, only... behind closed doors, but also officially, the talk will be about forming a broad coalition, both direct diplomatic and covert opposition to the already soviet russia. the plot would be one-sided if it were not noted that the two countries had completely different periods, the above-described mutual, to put it mildly, mistrust, did not prevent them from being on the same side at critical moments. the first russian tsar to visit britain was peter ii. this happened during the great embassy to europe. peter met twice with king william ii, who gave the tsar twenty-gun yacht. sixty english specialists left london to work in russia,

and the first permanent russian ambassador, andrei matveyev, arrived in london in may 1707. in 804, russia entered into an alliance with austria and joined the third anti-napoleonic coalition, which also included england and sweden. the campaign ended with defeat at austerlitz in 1805, and a year later a new war began. this time, russia was allied with england, prussia, saxony and sweden, but napoleon again celebrated his victory and concluded a profitable agreement with alexander telesidian peace. russia and france signed a secret treaty on a defensive offensive alliance, and pledged to conduct joint military actions against any european power, but in 1812. a month after napoleon's invasion of russia, alexander i ends the continental blockade of great britain and concludes a peace treaty with it. russia's trade relations with england

were restored, the english government pledged to assist russia in the war with france. in 1894, almost 40 years later, after the crimean war, the imperial houses russia and great britain became related. queen victoria's granddaughter, princess... this was facilitated by the relationship between nicholas and king george v of great britain. their resemblance is visible to the naked eye. their mothers were sisters and daughters of the king of denmark. both often spent the summer in their mothers' homeland and were sincere friends. george's grandmother, queen victoria, did not like this very much, but the marriage... of nicholas with her granddaughter contributed to reconciliation. twelve years later, in 1907 , an anglo-russian agreement was concluded in st. petersburg, which marked the beginning

of the military-political alliance, the entente. until the first world in 1913, the british empire was russia's second largest trading partner after germany. it accounted for more than 17% of russian exports and 12% of russian imports. from 1941 to 1945, both countries were allies in the anti-hitler coalition. during the war, british convoys delivered weapons and food to the ussr, but on march 5, 1946, winson churchill, no longer prime minister, gave a famous speech in fultan. the cold war began, which ended only in the mid-eighties, when margaret thatcher decided that gorbachev could be dealt with. yes, the ussr in october 1994, queen elizabeth ii made her first and only visit to russia. ursula vonderlaen

introduced the new european commission. previously, politicians and commentators in the old world elegantly moved the napiersky across the table. the european union is economics and law, no war, no geopolitics. people's review, goodbye, the situation is difficult, the shelling continues, the shelling

is chaotic, knocked out, corner bedroom, i'm watching tv, boom, i think, yoho mother, well, we can say the conditions are close to combat, because there is shelling every day. we are simply restoring what was destroyed, and such large-scale work, replacement, we do not do this now, routine is routine, but it is impossible to get used to it.

mom, why do we need these letters? for a fairy tale. in

the ninth kingdom, three-tenth state.

the russian emergencies ministry warns, protect your home, install a fire alarm. safety begins with you, the russian emergencies ministry. it is easy to get confused in the facts when you only see part of the overall picture, the pursuit of views changes entire locations, easily.

over the past 24 hours, the ukrainian armed forces lost more than 370 of their fighters in the kursk region. in total , since the beginning of their military adventure in this direction, the enemy has already lost fifteen. more than thousand servicemen, also lost 124 tanks, 56 infantry fighting vehicles, 93 armored personnel carriers, 780 armored combat vehicles, as well as twenty-eight mlrs launchers, including seven hymars and six mlrs, made in the usa. leaving their positions, the terrorists abandon nato weapons, which becomes the trophies of our fighters. the situation in the border area in a report by stanislav nazarov.
