US Radars Cover Almost All Russian Territory - Russian MoD | Русская весна

“The stationary radar systems of the US missile and nuclear warning system cover all possible trajectories of Russian ballistic missiles in the direction of the United States,” Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir, first deputy chief of the General Staff’s Main Operational Department, said.

According to him, the zone of control pof the US stations covers almost entire Russia.

The global missile defense system being created by the United States is posing a strategic threat to both Russia and China, he emphasized.

“The US missile defense system already has a potential to intercept Chinese and Russian ballistic missiles and poses a threat to strategic nuclear forces of Russia and China, and these capabilities will only grow.”

The Russian Defense Ministry said that the US missile defense capabilities threaten almost all low orbit space stations.

According to Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir, US missile defense systems also threaten space exploration activities by other countries, including Russia and China.

“Almost all low orbit stations located in the area of missile defense systems’ damage volume are under the threat of destruction. Given the global nature of the antimissile missile ships, space activities of any state, including Russia and China, are under threat,” he said.

The free use of the outer space by any country is endangered by the growing global missile defense system of the United States, the Russian military official added.

The firepower of the United States’ missile defense system threatens Russia’s deterrence posture, he said.

“Such a number of missile defense assets poses a serious threat to the Russian deterrence potential, especially taking into account the ongoing work on the modernization of missile defense systems,” Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir said.

Poznikhir estimated at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva that the number of US missile defense interceptors is expected to exceed 1,000 by 2022, potentially exceeding the number of warheads deployed on Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles in the future.

Russia constantly informs the US of its concerns over the deployment an anti-ballistic missile systems, but does not receive an answer, Poznikhir said.

“Russian representatives have repeatedly drew the attention of the American side at various levels to the danger posed by the global missile defense system for the strategic balance of forces in the world. Arguments are not perceived, obvious facts are ignored.”

The US missile defense system is disproportionate to the threats from North Korea and Iran, he added.

“Under the pretext of countering the North Korean and Iranian missile threats, the US is deploying a strategic system designed to destroy Russian and Chinese ballistic missiles, which violates the balance of deterrence forces.”

He said that Russia is forces to take adequate measures in response to the US missile defense systems’ deployment. Russia is forced to take adequate response measures aimed at preventing violations of the existing balance of forces in the field of strategic weapons and minimizing the possible damage to the security of the state as a result of the further buildup of US missile defenses. But the world will not be safer from this.”

Russian operation in Syria reveals the real sponsors of terrorism to the world

Russian operation in Syria started less than a week ago, but the first results are in. Losses of terrorists number in the thousands, infrastructure is destroyed, and in addition, Russia has shown the entire world who are the sponsors of global terrorism, say the experts to Накануне.RU.

The military operation of Russian troops in Syria against ISIL militants started less than a week ago, however, even in that short time happened a number of landmark events. First of all, we are talking about a joint statement by the seven countries – France, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UK and the USA, that they are concerned about the strengthening of Russia in the region. A number of countries, primarily the USA, has made some pretty aggressive statements about the Russian mission in Syria.

“It is early to make conclusions, but the emphasis is clear. Here’s the point: in fact, all the statements of the USA have confirmed that ISIL is a nonstructural subdivision of that country. This terrorist army was created in order to bypassing resistance forces (particularly nuclear forces) to conduct operations in different places of the globe. As soon as the Russian air force began to inflict serious blows, Americans threw a tantrum first, because ISIL militants appealed for help. When we intervened, U.S. actions have shown who provides the “cover” and who needs this terrorist cancer. The whole world saw the face of global sponsors of terror and saw that a coalition led by the United States – is a sham on the backdrop of the world stage,” commented to Накануне.RU military expert, Colonel Alexander Zhilin.

He noted that up to this point, ISIL’s advance in Iraq and Syria was due largely to the fact that no one put up resistance to the fighters , and they had at their disposal the American space, intelligence, and military-technical exploration. Even the official missions of the anti-ISIL coalition resembled a simulation, striking insignificant targets, or the desert. Amid last week’s events efforts of the American pilots in the fight against terrorism look laughable, when the raids took out two ISIL excavators.

A separate reason for the aggressive reaction from the U.S. was the unexpectedly high technical level of the Russian units.

“I’ll give you one example. More than 50 aircraft were transported to Syria. More than 2 thousand people transported via transport aircraft. And not one of the vaunted NATO radars in Turkey, Bulgaria and other countries could record it. Today, the Americans don’t see our guys working. We have developed such a system of technical cover that the Pentagon is just going crazy – we can see them, but they can not see us. It is clear that all their plans had failed,” – explains the expert.

Meanwhile, the pilots strictly follow the order of President Putin, who, while in New York, proposed to divide the Middle East sky into sectors of control. The incident with the Israeli pilots who were pushed out of their zone by the Russian pilots, demonstrated this is unambiguously.

“We showed seriousness of intentions, meanwhile, there is no perfidy, we alerted everyone, including Netanyahu, Americans, etc. It seems to me that our “partners” think that Russia will wind snot on a fist. No, that time is over. The level of the work of our crews is just a total shock for the Americans. 500-kg bomb, released from a height of 5 thousand meters flies into a window of a bunker. It’s inconceivable. I’d say we put up a good show for everyone, when the crews are working like clockwork”, – said Zhilin.

Another result of the first week of bombings of militants – the world has been convincingly shown that Russia has high-tech precision weapons, moreover, is able to professionally use it.

As for the losses of militants, as a result of Russian air strikes, even the “conservative” figures for such a short time are very impressive. Zhilin cited figures of the Israeli and American intelligence, citing his own sources. According to these data, during the first five days of the operation more than 2,173 fighters were liquidated. Against the background of repeated statements by Barack Obama about the “inefficiency” of the Russian military-space forces, these figures may be understated.

According to political analyst, Professor Igor Panarin, by October 5, the number of killed, wounded, missing and deserted is 9,389 people. The expert explains this avalanche  by the number of deserters – about half of the total numbers, “deserters fleeing to Iraq, Turkey, Jordan”.

“The fact that they run in all directions showed one more thing – they are not fighters for Islam. They are the usual smelly mercenaries who are fighting for money. People will die for faith, but for those who are fighting for money, it makes no sense to die,” – says Zhilin.

Among the destroyed infrastructure Panarin named 13 command control posts, 10 ammunition depos, five training camps, five fuel depots, five communication nodes, disguised terrorist base, the center of special training of militants, a field ammunition depot, four mini-factories on manufacture of armaments. In addition, a number of armored vehicles and weapons systems  were destroyed– 19 T-55 tanks, 19 BMP, 18 armored personnel carriers, four MLRS, three artillery guns and 16 vehicles.

And another important point that should be emphasized. Western propaganda linked the first raid with the death of children and civilians.

“Russia is the only country in the world whose soldiers are held responsible for military action while abroad. Means of objective control, installed on the aircraft monitor the actions of the crews, including striking of targets. Our country is committed to it in principle, while all the other countries, and NATO and the US in particular, give its military a free hand and do not punish even for “dismemberment”. These scoundrels have no business to blame us for anything regarding the military”, – said Alexander Zhilin.
