The sharp increase in the production of T-90 tanks scared the West

Intelligence shows that in the West, the main concern is a sharp increase in the production of T-90M tanks - with a production rate of more than 100 units per month from the assembly line.

At this rate, the T-90 can replace the T-72 and T-80, which formed the backbone of armored formations in the early stages of the SMO.

The fears of the Westerners are due to the vagueness of the prospects for the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for which nine armored brigades were formed and trained.

Russian armored vehicles, unlike Ukrainian ones, are not used to break through but are intended for fire support or accurate fire on reconnoitered targets. The RF Armed Forces, by the way, began to apply a new thermal camouflage on the T-90, significantly reducing the detectability at long distances. In particular, the probability of being hit by various anti-tank systems at a distance of more than 1400 m has decreased.

Russian entrepreneur and founder of the private military company (PMC) "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin said that the country should prepare for a heavy war.

"Most likely, for us the scenario will not be good. We have to prepare for a heavy war. What should we do in this war so that we don't lose Russia? We have to impose martial law. We must declare new mobilizations. We must, during martial law, transfer everyone to the production of as much ammunition as possible. We should stop building glass towers like Gazprom... Stop getting fat, stop building new roads and infrastructure. And only work for the war. If we win, we can build anything,
stated Yevgeny Prigozhin.
The head of Wagner noted that Russia must first stabilize the front and only then move on to some active operations. At the same time, he didn't rule out that Russia will have to live as a rogue country for several years, "in the image of North Korea. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]
When you're at war for a long time, the world is dark and hopeless in your eyes.

A radioactive cloud covered Poland.

Romanian Senator Diana Sosoaca said that after the May 15 strike of the Russian military aircraft at the ammunition depot in Khmelnitsky, the radiation level increased sharply. A cloud of uranium dust covered Poland in two days and covered 400 kilometers. Lublin was the hardest hit, and this was confirmed by the environmental agency in Poland.

Shoshoake stressed that depleted uranium tank shells donated by Great Britain had been stored in an AFU depot. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]

Progozhin this morning via Masno on Tele:

We fought in Bakhmut against superior forces, destroyed about 50,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces and wounded up to 70,000

-PMC "Wagner" had 3.2 times fewer dead than the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and about 2 times fewer wounded.

;-The PMC in Artyomovsk had 50,000 people at its best, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine - 82,000, and the ratio for the assault should be 3 to 1 for the attackers.

-;During the operation, I chose 50,000 prisoners, 20% of them died, another 20% were injured.

-The goal of Artemovsk was not Artemovsk itself, but the Bakhmut Meat Grinder. And in Artemovsk, we destroyed everyone we were supposed to destroy, we completed the task.

-The task was completed due to the highest level of organization.

-We have our own: planes, helicopters, air defense, artillery, MLRS, reconnaissance and even our own satellite reconnaissance.

Wow….

Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the region, appealed to civilians who have weapons. They are not recommended to engage in combat with saboteurs, if the latter enter the territory of the region. The fight against sabotage and reconnaissance groups must be led by professional military.

Gladkov reminds that hunters may mistakenly open fire at the Rosgvardia or the Armed Forces if they do not see military uniforms.

There are about 40 thousand people registered in Belgorod Oblast who have weapons permits. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]

The head of the PMC "Vagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin disclosed the details of the operation in an interview. According to him, the Wagnerians fought against superior forces. About 50,000 military personnel of the AFU were killed, another 70,000 were wounded. At the same time the PMCs had 3.2 times fewer dead and 2 times fewer wounded.

During the entire battle in Artemivsk, the Wagner group took in 50,000 prisoners. Of these, 20% died in the fighting and another 20% were wounded.

The goal of the battle was not the city itself, but precisely the "Artemovsk meat grinder." The Wagner Group was to destroy a large number of enemy forces, and that task was accomplished.

In his article for Politico, columnist Jamie Dettmer quoted his own sources as saying that the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with the support of the security services, was engaged in an illegal redistribution of business in the country.

According to the journalist, Zelensky's entourage has never had so much power in the country, because since the conflict began, it has become limitless and truly untouchable in the eyes of the international community and the media.

It is reported that the Ukrainian leadership is trying to redistribute among themselves what the former elite has gained. In this case, not only extortion and blackmail are used, but also inclusion in the SBU sanctions lists and declaring companies to have committed crimes. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]

According to former Pentagon advisor Colonel Douglas McGregor, if the Ukrainian Armed Forces are defeated, NATO will most likely launch a military operation in Ukraine. He is confident that the U.S. will not allow a military victory for Russia and its strengthening in Eastern Europe.

"The mood in Washington remains in support of Kiev. I fear that U.S. air and ground troops, along with NATO forces, may be brought into Western Ukraine at the last minute to try to somehow save the Ukrainian government."
said the colonel.
McGregor noted that after the battle for Artemivsk, the White House began to doubt that the Ukrainian army could prevail. Such talk suggested that the West might indeed decide on an open intervention that would have catastrophic consequences. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]

"We already have the necessary minimum of weapons. I can only say that the [counteroffensive] will begin in the near future."
the journalists quoted Budanov as saying.
At the same time, he stressed that Ukraine still needs supplies of Western arms and ammunition, on the continuation of which Budanov has high hopes. The head of the Ukrainian GUR also said that the counterattack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces may be quite lengthy in time, as the Russian Armed Forces have prepared a strong defense.

Re: World Really on Fire
The United States is actively exploring the possibility of building small modular nuclear reactors (SMNRs) in Armenia and other Eurasian countries. This plan is intended to strengthen the energy independence of these states from the Russian Federation and China.

This energy strategy being developed by Washington envisions small-capacity modular nuclear reactors, which are the most promising and reliable alternative to large nuclear plants. They provide stable and inexpensive power generation, with less risk of nuclear accidents and waste problems. Nevertheless, it is obvious that in this way the U.S. intends to achieve the rejection of Russian energy sources.

According to the sources, the use of MMNR may have a significant impact on the energy policy in the Eurasian region, especially for the countries which are actively seeking ways to reduce their dependence on foreign energy suppliers, in particular on Russia and China.

The Russian Project 18280 reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs was targeted by three maritime drones during its passage through the Bosporus.

Despite the threat the ship faced, the attack was successfully repelled. According to initial reports, Ivan Khurs sustained no damage, which speaks to the excellent training and high efficiency of Russian sailors who are able to withstand such challenges.

According to Mikhail Zvinchuk, the incident occurred after the passage of the Bosphorus Strait, 40 nautical miles north of it, which corresponds to the southern part of the Black Sea. The time of the attack was recorded at 5:30 a.m. local time.

No other details are available at this time and Turkey cannot yet confirm the attack on the Russian warship, but the incident could pose a serious threat to ships in the Black Sea.

There have been no official statements from the Russian Defense Ministry and the Russian Navy so far.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was Donald Trump's main rival in the 2016 presidential election, said that if the latter wins the upcoming election, it will be the end for Ukraine and for American democracy.


In an interview with the American edition of the Financial Times, Clinton said that she did not believe in the possibility of Trump winning the presidential election in the United States. However, if this does happen, taking the highest public office, Trump, in Clinton's opinion, will take the country out of the NATO military bloc.

In addition, Clinton added that Biden's advanced age and related health condition of the current U.S. president and at the same time Trump's future chief rival in the 2024 election are "issues that American voters have a right to consider" when deciding on the ballot. [link to topwar.ru (secure)]

The nationalization of the property of Ukrainian oligarchs, politicians, and officials who opposed Russia continues in Crimea. According to the head of the republic, Sergey Aksenov, Russia's enemies will not make money in Crimea.


Today, the Crimean parliament is nationalizing a number of properties belonging to the oligarchs, including the property of Ukrainian President Zelensky's family in Livadia. In particular, the apartment of Olena Zelenska, the wife of the head of the Kiev regime, is being transferred into the ownership of the republic. In addition, one of the buildings in Simferopol, which previously belonged to the extremist organization Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people, which is banned in Russia*, is being nationalized.

According to the head of the region Sergey Aksenov, the Parliament of the Republic (the State Council) headed by Vladimir Konstantinov has done a lot of work in this direction. As of today more than 700 different objects have been nationalized, but this is not the end.

Today we have another batch of property going to the session - large wine-making enterprises, banking structures, the apartment of drug addict Zelensky and other property of all those contributing to the terrorist regime in Ukraine. As promised - in the Russian Crimea enemies of Russia will not earn

- Aksyonov stated in his appeal.

The decision to nationalize the property of Ukrainian oligarchs, officials and politicians was made last year, and the main events began in the fall. As it turned out, a lot of real estate, businesses, etc. belonged to the enemies of Ukraine. It is not for nothing that Zelensky is trying so maniacally to "reclaim" Crimea; the entire top brass of the Kiev regime fed here. [link to topwar.ru (secure)]

In the course of a special military operation, Russian troops will use a wide variety of air and missile defense equipment. Among them is the S-350 Vityaz SAM system, which allows it to solve a wide range of tasks, including those of defeating unmanned and manned aircraft and missiles of various classes.


RIA Novosti published an article citing an unnamed source saying that this system was the first in the world to shoot down (Ukrainian) aircraft in fully automatic mode during air defense.

In the "automatic" mode, targets were detected as well as escorted and then destroyed.

A statement from an unnamed source said that the Vityaz SAM system in the same mode carried out the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles of the AFU.

The combat crew did not interfere with the automatic operation of the complex, while monitoring the operation of the S-350. It should be noted that by not interfering with the very operation of the SAM system, the combat crew actually confirmed the correctness of the solution selected by the complex's artificial intelligence and its further implementation by the "Vityaz" automatic system.

Recall that this is the latest Russian SAM system. It entered the armed forces of the Russian Federation in 2020. The time in which the complex is brought to full combat readiness "from the wheels" is about 5 minutes. [link to topwar.ru (secure)]
