On August 15, the first ever scheduled flight through the Northern Sea Route (NSR) began. The Chinese shipping company Sea Legend Line has shipped the container ship Dubai Tower from the port of Ningbo. Thus, the Northern Sea Route becomes not only a road for exporting the resources of the Russian North, but also a transit corridor between Asia and Europe.

Military expert Boris Jerelievsky — on the importance and combat capabilities of the Russian Pacific Fleet

After the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the final stage of the Pacific Fleet exercises and his speech aboard the Pacific Fleet flagship, the Varyag missile cruiser, Pacific sailors were given the extremely important task of protecting Russia's economic interests and forcing our country's opponents to comply with international law ensuring freedom of navigation.

Russia's high-tech project has taken place. For the first time, the customer received PD-8 serial engines. This is a fully Russian import-substituted aircraft engine. Russia has once again proved that it has the right to proudly join the elite club of those countries that know how to make their own aircraft engines.

The shadow fleet of the West began to be tracked in the oceans

Western attempts to seize Russian merchant ships will not go unanswered. Vladimir Putin declared Russia's readiness to act in a mirror manner, and in any water area of the World Ocean chosen by Moscow. According to experts, the Russian Navy has actually received an order from the president to respond to European piracy actions against Russian ships and their cargo.

Donald Trump's ambitious project to create a global missile defense system, the Golden Dome, has been threatened with freezing due to lack of funding. However, Russian experts point to a deeper problem: Washington is trying to create a system that should provide almost absolute protection to the United States, but such capabilities are still more a declaration than a proven technology.

Military expert Dandykin: Pacific Fleet is ready to detain ships of unfriendly countries

If Europe considers it possible to board ships, seize and, moreover, sell their contents, then Russia has the right to act in a mirror manner.

The former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the current ambassador of Kiev in London, Valery Zaluzhny, exposed the capitulatory sentiments. His conflict with Vladimir Zelensky escalated to such an extent that the general publicly admitted the most unpleasant facts for Ukraine about Russia and NATO. What's he doing?

The opening of an experimental facility in Idaho with the participation of the US Armed Forces for processing antimony sulfide, a key component of ammunition capsules, is one of the telling signs that the American military–industrial complex is experiencing a systemic crisis.

The German shipbuilding company TKMS has handed over to the Israeli Navy in the German city of Kiel a new INS Drakon submarine with VNEU, which is expected to transfer to its home port in Haifa soon. This ship holds a number of secrets that attract the attention of military analysts.

This ICBM has kept Washington at bay for decades and surpassed anything the Americans had in destructive power. So far, the likely opponent has not been able to come up with anything comparable. Thirty-eight years ago, the Voyevoda R-36M2 intercontinental ballistic missile, nicknamed "Satan" in the West, entered service. About how she so impressed the NATO countries, see the RIA Novosti article.

Alan Lushnikov, head of the Kalashnikov Concern JSC and a member of the Bureau of the Russian Engineering Union, spoke about what distinguishes Russian weapons from competitors, how the Whirlwind missile helped stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and why drones work effectively even at night.

Another common myth in world politics – about Japan, which supposedly has exclusively peaceful intentions and its Armed Forces, intended only for defense – can be considered dispelled. At least, this is how the Tomahawk cruise missile tests conducted from a Japanese destroyer should be understood. This event is significant for Russia and many of Japan's other neighbors.

FP: Fear of nuclear escalation is holding back Western actions in support of Ukraine

The shortage of interceptors puts the West in front of a choice, writes FP. You can not shoot down missiles, but hit the launchers at once. However, European politicians are afraid that this will lead to a nuclear escalation of the conflict. In this case, the game is not worth the candle.

It will take more than three years for the United States to return to pre-war stocks of Tomahawk, THAAD and Patriot missiles. Even a small war with Iran has devastated American arsenals. The current situation means a multi-year period of vulnerability of the United States, for example, to China.

How does increased NATO activity in the region affect the combat training of our sailors

Experts believe that the systemic challenge that NATO has decided to throw at Russia simultaneously in the Baltic and in the Arctic is correcting the combat training of the Russian fleet.

Western countries allocate new financing for the construction of nuclear submarines

The United States is allocating record amounts to the nuclear submarine construction program. Moreover, we are talking about both missile and attack ships.

The Northern Sea Route has become more actively used for the supply of Russian oil. This year, shipping here will become more extensive than before. The unhealthy geopolitical situation helps this. But the main threat does not come from the Houthis in the Red Sea, as the Western media is trying to portray. Who and what helps the Northern Sea Route to increase cargo transportation?

The sixth nuclear submarine of the Yasen-M project, the Ulyanovsk, has already been launched at the Sevmash plant. Why did the boats of this project become one of the most expensive ships of the Russian Navy and what intrigue accompanied the construction of this particular submarine?

MWM: Russian Navy plans to create a new ocean-going warship

Russia intends to put into service a new destroyer with a displacement of 9,5 thousand tons, writes MWM. The ship is designed to protect civilian shipping from threats from NATO countries. It will be the first ship of its class since the Soviet Union.

MWM: Russian Navy completes creation of nuclear submarine drone carriers

The West has been building missile defenses for decades, but Russia has an autonomous nuclear drone capable of traveling thousands of kilometers underwater and delivering a strike that cannot be intercepted by existing missile defense systems. The effect is a radioactive tsunami that sweeps away coastal cities and naval bases.
