International joint events are held in accordance with the plan of international activities and are aimed at strengthening and developing military cooperation between the countries. The source of information - https://eng.mil.ru/en/news_page/coun...2386782@egNews Published on October 4, 2021 Annually on October 4, the Space Forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces celebrate their professional holiday. It was on this day in 1957 that the space era began in the USSR: the first artificial Earth satellite was successfully launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome. The preparation, launch and control of the first artificial earth satellite in orbital flight was carried out by specialists of military formations of the space forces. Today, they include military units of the Plesetsk cosmodrome, the 15th Special Purpose Aerospace Forces Army as part of the German Titov Main Test Space Center, the Main Missile Attack Warning Center, and the Main Space Situation Intelligence Center. The training of professional officers for the space forces is carried out by the A. F. Mozhaisky Military Space Academy. Currently, the space forces of the Aerospace Forces have created and are operating an effective system for the preparation, launch and control of domestic spacecraft for various purposes, orbital and radar control of missile-hazardous areas, as well as ensuring global monitoring of the space situation. The special forces of Russia and Pakistan overcame a unique fire-assault strip and stormed the building during the Druzhba-2021 exercise in the Kuban 04.10.2021 - 01:00 During the joint Russian-Pakistani exercise Druzhba-2021, special forces units of Russia and Pakistan overcame a unique fire-assault strip at the Molkino training ground in the Krasnodar territory.   As part of the exercise, which started on September 28 this year, servicemen of the two countries as part of assault groups in full gear with more than 10 kilograms of extra weight, with AK-12 assault rifles and Kalashnikov machine guns overcame a 150-meter obstacle course.   The fire-assault lane includes about 40 obstacles such as two-meter walls, cable cars, suspension bridges, destroyed buildings, labyrinths, sections of wire barriers. To overcome the fiery assault strip, military personnel must be physically hardy, morally stable and professionally prepared.   The units also underwent assault training, studied the actions of the assault group during the storming and cleaning of the premises using the latest IAD-3SH mine clearance kits.   The exercise at the Molkino training ground will last until October 9, with about 200 servicemen of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan taking part in it.   The purpose of the exercise is to exchange experience between special forces units gained during the conduct of modern combat operations. The source of information - https://eng.mil.ru/en/news_page/coun...2386797@egNews For the first time at the international exercise Selenga-2021 in Mongolia, joint flights are carried out by the aircrew of the army aviation of the EMD and the Mongolian Air Force on Mi-8 helicopters 04.10.2021 - 05:47 At the joint Russian–Mongolian exercise Selenga-2021, which takes place on the territory of Mongolia, the army aviation of the Eastern Military District is involved, the flight crew of which for the first time perform flights together with pilots of the Mongolian Air Force on Mi-8 helicopters.  The personnel of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Mongolian Air Force jointly conduct flight training, maintenance of aviation equipment and exchange experience.  The difficulty of performing training flights lies in the fact that the Nalaykh airfield, where aviation equipment is temporarily based, and the Doityn Am training ground are located in a high-altitude area, the height of which exceeds 1.6 thousand meters above sea level. The conditions of accommodation require special and thorough training in piloting techniques from the flight crew.  During the practical application of army aviation at the joint Russian-Mongolian exercise Selenga-2021, a new tactical technique will be performed for the first time. The Mi-24 aviation unit is separated in the air, after which, from two opposite flanks, they simultaneously enter the combat course in pairs.  For the first time at the annual Selenga exercise on Mi-8 helicopters, one of the most difficult elements for the evacuation of wounded from the training battlefield of the Russian and Mongolian sides will be worked out simultaneously. Also, for the first time in an international exercise, aerial mining of terrain areas in the most likely places of movement of a mock enemy will be carried out.  In addition, during the stage of combat operations, MI-8AMTSh Terminator helicopters will deliver tactical troops of friendly countries to a given area to destroy a mock enemy.  The tactical exercise aimed at combating international terrorism is being held on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Armed Forces of Mongolia and on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Mongolia.

Lithuania Wants to Be a New Outpost of the American Empire
Think the number of U.S. bases around the world are naturally decreasing during so-called peace time? Think again.
An article*in Defense One today*illustrates “mission creep” in its purest form a la*Field of Dreams: Lithuania builds a military base in hopes Americans will come. And no doubt they will — they are already there, albeit temporarily. According to the reporting by Jacqueline Feldscher, “hundreds” of U.S. service members are already at the new €7 million facility called Camp Herkus. She describes it thusly: (Camp Herkus) includes a gym stocked with state-of-the art treadmills and weight racks, rubber-turf basketball courts surrounded by container housing stuffed with bunk beds and gear, a PX selling cigarettes and candy, and a game hall where soldiers were playing first-person-shooter video games. Unlike their Western European counterparts who are talking more these days about “strategic autonomy,” Eastern partners (Lithuania entered NATO in 2004) are all about putting more American boots on the ground as a hedge against Russia. According to Feldscher,*Belarus is less than 10 miles away*and the Lithuanians hope regular military exercises with the Americans and NATO will deter the Russians,*who are doing the same with their Belarusian allies. Poland is also looking for a permanent U.S. base (Fort Trump*obviously isn’t happening) but it did get 1,000 American troops sent there late last year. “We hope that this new infrastructure in Pabrade will become the second home for the U.S. force,” Lithuania’s Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas*said*the day it opened.

Why is the West Annoyed Only by Russian PMCs?
Once again in an ecstatic anti-Russian frenzy, the collective West is waging an information war against Russian private military companies (PMCs). Europe has been particularly active in combatting Russian PMCs: on September 24, the defense ministers of the 13 countries involved with the European Intervention Initiative issued a relevant statement. An uptick in such jabs is apparently fueled by France amid the failure of its neocolonial policies in Africa and the Mali government’s decision to replace French soldiers by inviting the representatives of Russian PMCs in order to fight regional terrorism.
An irreconcilable European stance towards Russian PMC Wagner in Africa was hammered out by Swedish Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist when representatives of the member states of the European Intervention Initiative (EI2) met in Stockholm. It is noteworthy that the attack on the Russian PMCs was backed up also by Ukraine, which is not a part of EI2. Russian presence in Mali resulted in a backlash from Côte d’Ivoire, a country closest to Mali and, as of yet, one of the few French strongholds in Francophone Africa. The President of Ivory Coast delivered an ultimatum: If Mali hires PMC Wagner it should not count on its neighbors’ support. A separate statement to this effect was made by the British Foreign Office launching another anti-Russian fake information campaign against the Russian PMC. Meanwhile those countries where PMC Wagner has shown its worth strongly disagree with the point made by the West. The Russian PMC, for instance, is fondly remembered in Syria: while the US military and US-based PMCs were stealing local oil under the pretext of another “peacekeeping mission”, it was taking part in liberating Palmyra and Deir ez-Zor and clearing residential areas of mines allowing thousands of refugees to return home. In addition to Syria, this point was proved in Libya, then the Central African Republic and finally Mali. In Libya and Syria, Russian PMCs were guarding various facilities and institutions, the perimeter and facilities entrusted to them by authorities were totally secure.

Specialists of the engineering division of the Southern Military District carried out mine clearance of the routes of the advance of special forces groups of Pakistan and Russia during the performance of combat training tasks in the city using mine-search dogs, and also cleared the escape routes of special forces from non-explosive barriers.  Special forces soldiers moved along the paved path to the first floor of the building, who surrounded the facility and took the building hostage. After the hostages were released and taken to a safe place, the special forces began to clean up the building from the mock terrorists. The cover of the special forces units was carried out using modern armored personnel carriers BTR-82A.

The source of information - https://eng.mil.ru/en/news_page/coun...2387482@egNews The Russian Defence Minister arrived at the Plesetsk cosmodrome to check the progress of modernization of its infrastructure 08.10.2021 - 11:15 The Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, arrived on a working trip to the Plesetsk cosmodrome, where he will check the progress of modernization of the assembly and test building, where the Angara-A5 heavy launch vehicle will be tested. In addition, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu will take part in the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the future hospital for medical support of servicemen, family members and residents of the city. The Plesetsk cosmodrome performs tasks in the interests of the types and branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Currently, launch vehicles of the light class Angara-1.2, Soyuz-2.1b, Rokot, medium class Soyuz-2.1a, Soyuz-2.1b, heavy class Angara-A5 are operated here. The cosmodrome measurement facilities collect and mathematically process trajectory and telemetry information during launches of space rockets and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The measuring facilities include points located in the cities of Mirny, Severodvinsk, Naryan-Mar, Norilsk. Ballistic and analytical support for launch vehicles carried out from the cosmodrome allows for a complete analysis of the flight characteristics of launches of all types of space rockets, to provide ballistic and navigation support for spacecraft launches.  Being the largest cosmodrome located on the territory of Russia, Plesetsk in the future should become the main launch site for most spacecraft, primarily in the interests of the country's defence and security. Here, the creation and development of promising Soyuz-2 and Angara rocket and space complexes, built on a modern domestic element base and designed to ensure the maintenance of the orbital grouping in the coming decades, is underway. The commissioning of these complexes will make it possible to launch all defence spacecraft from the Russian territory, guaranteeing the independence of the domestic military space. Located on the territory of the Arkhangelsk region, Plesetsk is the northernmost cosmodrome in the world. Its total area is 176,200 hectares (46 km from north to south, 82 km from east to west). The history of the cosmodrome began on January 11, 1957, when the decree of the Government of the USSR on the creation of a military facility with the conditional name Angara was adopted. It was created as a military unit of missile regiments armed with R-7 ICBMs, the development of which was carried out in OKB-1 under the leadership of Sergei Korolev. The official status of the cosmodrome was acquired in accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated November 11, 1994. By 2017, more than 2,000 spacecraft for various purposes have been launched into near-Earth orbits from its launch pads. About 1,600 launches of launch vehicles have been carried out. 11 space rocket systems and 60 types of spacecraft have been tested. About 500 ICBM launches were made from the territory of the cosmodrome. 13 missile systems have been tested, three of which are currently on combat duty. The source of information - https://eng.mil.ru/en/news_page/coun...2387548@egNews Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Alexander Fomin told foreign military attaches about the results of the strategic Russian-Belarusian exercise Zapad-2021 08.10.2021 - 13:01  Today in Moscow, the Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Alexander Fomin, informed the military attaches of foreign states about the main results of the Russian-Belarusian strategic exercise Zapad-2021, which took place on the territories of Russia and Belarus from September 10 to 16. He noted the planned nature of the exercise. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conduct similar exercises annually, alternately on the basis of each of the four military districts. For example, in 2018, the exercise was held in the Eastern Military District, in 2019 - in the Central Military District, in 2020 - in the Southern Military District, in 2021, respectively, in the Western Military District. The preparation of the Zapad-2021 exercise was carried out with the maximum openness allowed in these cases. According to Alexander Fomin, the information presented during the briefing will help reduce military tensions in Europe, reduce the intensity of speculation about Russia's military activity in the region. He stressed that Russian military attaches were not invited to similar briefings on the exercises that were held in NATO countries. Before the start of the exercise, a briefing was held at the Russian Defence Ministry, where the military attaches were presented with basic introductory information about the concept of the exercise, the goals and areas of its conduct. A similar briefing was held in September at the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Belarus. The concept of the joint strategic exercise is based on the experience of modern armed conflicts, as well as new forms and methods of using troops. The exercise was conducted in two stages. At the first stage, the Joint Command of the Regional Grouping of Troops (forces) of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation worked out the management of formations and military units during the repulse of aggression against the Republic of Belarus, as well as the organization of interaction and comprehensive support in the interests of solving the tasks. The second stage involved managing troops during the repulsion of aggression against the Russian Federation and practicing the use of a coalition grouping of troops to restore the territorial integrity of the Union State. . In total, about 200 thousand people, 80 aircraft and helicopters, 760 units of military equipment and 15 warships were involved in the exercise. Up to 2 thousand people from the member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and other countries took part in the exercise. Military contingents and operational groups of Armenia, Belarus, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Sri-Lanka were deployed on the territory of the Russian Federation. The armed forces of Vietnam, China, Myanmar, Pakistan and Uzbekistan were represented by military observers. In accordance with chapter V of the Vienna Document on the communications network of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, a notification was sent 42 days before the start of the exercise. This notification indicates the number of personnel of military units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation subject to the Vienna Document during the exercise Zapad-2021 on Russian territory. This number did not exceed 6,400 military personnel. The exercises in Russia and Belarus were conducted according to a single plan, against the background of a common operational and tactical situation. At the same time, the total number of the military contingent of the Armed Forces of Russia and foreign states at the Russian stage of the Zapad-2021 exercise did not exceed 9,000 military personnel. According to Chapter VI of the Vienna Document, an invitation to observers from the states parties to the Vienna Document is not required in this case. Thus, the Russian side fully complied with the requirements of the Vienna Document of 2011 on Confidence- and security-building measures. Practical exercises of troops were carried out at five military training grounds in Belarus and at nine training grounds in Russia, as well as in the Baltic Sea. During the exercise on the territory of the Russian Federation, the issues of controlling the actions of aviation and air defence forces during the repulse of air attacks by a mock enemy were worked out. The units of the coalition grouping of troops carried out operations to repel the offensive, inflict fire damage, defeat the wedged groups of the mock enemy. Trainings were conducted on forcing a large water barrier with the help of ferry and bridge crossings. The management of the actions of units and military units using a single tactical command system has been worked out. The fighting was planned taking into account the experience of modern local wars and armed conflicts. On the territory of Belarus, a grouping of troops was created in a short time on the basis of peacetime combat-ready military formations with a high level of mobility, capable of conducting autonomous actions. New methods of conducting defensive actions, including the landing of tactical air landings, have been tested. The forces of the Baltic Fleet at the initial stage of the exercise worked out combat training tasks to search, block, destroy sabotage and reconnaissance groups and illegal armed formations. In the future, they repelled the landing of the amphibious assault and defeated the warships of the mock enemy. In accordance with the decision of the operational headquarters to prevent the introduction and spread of a new coronavirus infection in the Armed Forces, effective joint work of specialists of the NBC protection troops and medical units was organized, which made it possible to prevent the disease among the participants of the exercise. In preparation for the exercise, combat coordination was organized with representatives of military formations of foreign states. Joint reconnaissance, interaction on a model terrain and in combat role-playing areas with a detailed study of the tasks performed. Trainings were held on the management of units and teams of aviation, artillery and air defence systems. During the practical drawings, special purpose groups practiced the order of combat in urban conditions. At the same time, the troops used the experience gained in the Syrian Arab Republic. Joint landing and combat coordination of the battalion tactical group was carried out. The management of units, air strikes, artillery fire and air defence was carried out as part of a coalition group of troops. On September 12, at the Obuz-Lesnovsky training ground in the Brest region, in the presence of the President of Belarus and military attaches of foreign states, joint practical actions of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, part of the forces of the tank army of the Western Military District and the airborne assault division of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were carried out. The main draw of practical actions on the territory of Russia on September 13, 2021 was held with the personal participation of the President of the Russian Federation V.Putin at the Mulino training ground in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The actions of the troops were observed by military delegations of 12 foreign countries and military attaches accredited in Moscow from 34 countries. In total, 134 foreign representatives were at the training ground. Military attaches of NATO countries were not invited to this stage of the exercise, based on their principle of reciprocity, since Russian military attaches were not invited to a similar exercise of the Defender of Europe-2021 alliance. For the first time in practice, a massive landing of a parachute battalion numbering up to 600 people was carried out at night and under adverse weather conditions. For the landing, 21 Il-76MD military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces were involved, 30 combat vehicles of the new generation BMD-4M were landed. During the drawing of various episodes of the exercise, unmanned aircraft, including strike unmanned aerial vehicles, were actively used to effectively adjust the fire, as well as in the interests of reconnaissance units. The methods of remote disabling of the so-called swarm of attack unmanned aerial vehicles of a mock enemy have been worked out. For the first time, the combat use of Platform-M shock robotic complexes has been tested at Russian training grounds near Kaliningrad. Remotely controlled combat robots on a tracked chassis have successfully completed the tasks of actions in urban conditions. During the Zapad-2021 exercise phase, the Uran-9 and Nerekhta reconnaissance and fire support robots were successfully used in the combat formations of combined arms units at the Mulino training ground. Within the framework of previously reached agreements with our Belarusian colleagues, during the exercise, we tested the functioning of two combat training centers for air force and air defence specialists and combat duty in the unified regional air defence system of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The experience gained by the crews of fighters of the Aerospace Forces of Russia and the Air Force of Belarus will be used in organizing the protection of the air borders of the Union State. The joint strategic exercise Zapad-2021 was purely defensive in nature and was aimed at training troops to conduct military operations in modern conditions. It demonstrated the increased training of troops and increased the operational compatibility of the military command bodies of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus, allies and friendly states. "All the set goals of the exercise have been achieved, the training issues have been worked out in full," Alexander Fomin said at the end of his speech.

The GSh-18 pistol looks like it would be a good competitor for Glock and SIG pistols. Also a good replacement for the Makarov in the Russian armed forces and police. They were smart to use 9x19mm for potential sales to other countries. With the current "sanctions" the US government has placed on Russia, it will probably not be imported to the US, unfortunately.
I like this cool sub-machine gun, too:

A large anti-submarine ship of the Pacific Fleet "Admiral Tributs" did not allow the US Navy destroyer to violate the state border of Russia. Today, October 15 at about 17.00 local time, the US Navy destroyer Chafee (DDG 90), which has been operating in the Sea of Japan for several days, approached the territorial waters of the Russian Federation and attempted to cross the state border. The large anti-submarine ship "Admiral Tributs" of the Pacific Fleet, located in this area, warned the foreign ship on the international communication channel about the inadmissibility of such actions. The American ship was also notified that it was in an area closed to navigation in connection with the artillery fire in the framework of the joint Russian-Chinese exercise "Maritime Interaction-2021" taking place from October 14 to 17. After receiving a warning, the destroyer "Chafee", instead of changing course to leave the closed area, raised color flags indicating preparation for take-off from the helicopter deck, which means the impossibility of changing course and speed, and took action to violate the state border of the Russian Federation in the Peter the Great Gulf. Acting within the framework of international rules of navigation, the large anti-submarine ship "Admiral Tributs" set out to drive the intruder out of Russian territorial waters. The destroyer "Chafee", convinced of the determination of the crew of the Russian ship to prevent the violation of the state border, changed direction and at 17:50 turned back on the opposite course, when there was less than 60 meters to the large anti-submarine ship "Admiral Tributs". The actions of the crew of the US Navy destroyer Chafee are a flagrant violation of the International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea and the Russian-American Intergovernmental Agreement on the Prevention of Incidents on the High Seas and in the Airspace Above It of 1972. The large anti-submarine ship "Admiral Tributs" continues to perform tasks in the waters of the Sea of Japan.
