Foreign Policy (USA): Biden should punish Saudi Arabia for supporting Russia

Saudi Arabia plays an important role in the oil markets, but it chose Russia over the United States, writes FP. The authors of the article advise Biden to rethink the relationship with her and no longer beg the Saudis to pump more oil. The Saudis need to show how risky it is for them to lose their "only stable partner" in the field of security.

Valentin Vatsev: The USA is a belligerent party (Duma, Bulgaria)

According to the official doctrine of NATO, it is not at war in Ukraine, but de facto the United States is at war with Russia through its proxy force - Ukraine, writes Duma. In the West, they don't even hide it – private military companies transfer manpower, finance and arm the Armed Forces. The United States is not interested in a direct conflict with Russia, they are waging an indirect war, the author of the article believes.

The best Western weapons in the battles in Ukraine are failing. According to experts, almost all the latest guided weapons systems, as well as Turkish drones, have shown low efficiency.

Military expert Andrey Frolov - on the likelihood of Turkey transferring Russian S-400 anti-aircraft systems to Kiev

In recent days, the American media have been actively promoting the idea that Turkey's transfer of the S-400 air defense system to Ukraine could solve several issues for Ankara at once: strengthen positions in NATO and relations with the United States, remove the irritant in relations with Washington and again gain access to Lockheed Martin F-35A fighters. How possible is this scenario?

Russian society, the population of Ukraine and the tactics of information warfare

March 24, 2022 is a month since the beginning of a special military operation and the entry of our troops into Ukraine. It is going according to plan: the tasks set for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, as President Vladimir Putin said, will be fulfilled. What are the preliminary results of the special operation today from the military-political and military-scientific points of view? The specific figures in this regard are known to specialists, so some generalizations can be made.

The special operation hit the external aviation relations of Ukraine

At the international arms exhibition World Defense Show 2022, which took place from March 6 to 9 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), the Ukrainian export company "Spetstechnoexport" (part of the state concern "Ukroboronprom") presented at its stand a short catalog of military products offered for export of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, as well as technical services that defense companies can provide to their foreign customers.

Lawmakers are trying to assess the impact of the Ukrainian crisis on America's security

How to counter the US and NATO's bet on a proxy conflict

In the XXI century, hybrid military conflicts have become one of the most common forms of interstate confrontation. And the hybrid war turns from a kind of confrontation between individual states and their coalitions into a global hybrid war (MGW).

On the problem of Hindu terrorism in India

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, research in the field of terrorism focused mainly on Islamist movements. But when considering this problem in the context of India, there is a significant leap towards far-right extremism. Despite their massive scale, violent attacks carried out by Hindu extremists often remain without coverage or do not receive due attention, although they pose a significant threat to regional security.

Chinese air defense has surpassed American and is catching up with Russian

All PLA military equipment is built on the Soviet foundation. At the beginning of its existence, China received a huge amount of Soviet weapons of all classes. And she quickly moved on to its own production - first under Soviet licenses, and then without them.

Can Kiev get an atomic bomb

In the context of the special operation in Ukraine, on the one hand, there were long-standing and current regrets about the absence of nuclear weapons in the country. On the other hand, there are publications about the work already carried out with external support in a number of institutes and centers of Ukraine to prepare for the creation of nuclear weapons.

European allies are pushing the US to war

President Biden said that if Russia attacks a NATO country, the United States will intervene, even if it leads to World War III. Since the Russian Federation has never threatened any of the NATO members, we are talking about a provocation being prepared by Poland or the Baltic limitrophs.

Joseph Biden asked for help from Xi Jinping in the fight against Russia

The two-hour teleconference talks between the US President and the Chinese President touched upon key strategic security issues, including special military operations of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. The statement of this fact is perhaps the only common point in the coverage of the March 18 event by the Anglo-Saxon and Chinese mass media. Everything that is written by them then goes in opposite directions.

Russia and Ukraine are increasingly using new types of weapons

MiG-31K interceptor fighters for the first time carried out the practical application of aeroballistic hypersonic missiles "Dagger" on real targets. The Ministry of Defense reports the destruction of a well-protected, buried ammunition storage and a fuel and lubricants warehouse. Both objects are located on the territory of Western Ukraine.

A large underground warehouse of missiles and aviation ammunition of Ukrainian troops in the village of Delyatin, Ivano-Frankivsk region, was attacked.

The hypersonic "Dagger" hit not only a specific target, but most likely also (morally) the NATO command. The fact is that conventional ammunition destroyed not just a warehouse, but one of the central storage bases for nuclear weapons, known as "Object 711". It was built in 1955 and strengthened so that in those years it could withstand the impact of an atomic bomb.

The future of the Su-57 program remains extremely vague, writes Military Watch Magazine. But, given the number of potential customers whose incomes and military expenditures are heavily dependent on oil, there is a significant probability that with high oil prices, interest in the aircraft will grow.
