A perfect storm, like a perfect tempest, will blow everything to pieces

    The US leadership understands perfectly well why Moscow used the "Kinzhal", and what military and political consequences it leads to

    Any significant event causes a corresponding reaction. In the case of the use by the Russian Armed Forces of the hypersonic aviation missile system "Kinzhal", the reaction also followed. However, not immediately. The pause was sustained in order to collect their thoughts and respond appropriately.

    Here's what US President Joe Biden said: "This missile has the same warhead as any other, but it cannot be stopped." US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin echoed him, referring to our special military operation in Ukraine, in nearly the same spirit: "I don't think that by itself it will radically change the situation."

    Of course, hypersonic weapons alone will not change the situation in Ukraine. It changes a completely different situation.

    The top American leadership, I'd say that's putting it mildly, is slightly deceiving, trying to calm its own community, and possibly also the world one. Along with this, it, again, godlessly deceiving, calms its allies. Like saying there's nothing terrible here, everything will be fine.

    Only at the same time they themselves draw a logical line under the event: it cannot be stopped. You can not even blame Biden, who publicly stated that the missile has "the same warhead”. In which way it is the same? Grandpa, it may also be not completely the same.

    And after that, let's consider the following scenario. We will not go into details about what kind of "warhead" will be on the rocket. In any case, a few launches, no more than ten, and the US missile defence system ceases to exist. It is not even necessary to assign missile launchers as targets. It is enough to "turn off" long-range radar stations. There is nothing out of the ordinary here. The flight range of the long-range aeroballistic missile "Kinzhal" is at least 2000 kilometres. 

    If we slightly increase the number of ammunition designated for destruction, then the system that ensures the operation of the European missile defence segment in Europe will cease to exist. The king becomes naked. It's not so fine anymore.

    Further this same perfect storm follows, when each target will definitely be hit by a single ammunition. It is not difficult to notice that the situation has suddenly "changed dramatically". As the saying goes, nothing superfluous, just military savvy.

    Austin, by the way, expressed bewilderment - why does Russia use "Kinzhal" at all? He's clearly not a grandpa. Therefore, dear uncle, you probably did not study well. Prior to the conflict, the missile had passed only field tests. And now it has confirmed, as saying goes, the declared technical characteristics in a combat situation. However, all these people understand everything perfectly. In fact, they are trying to smooth out some unpleasant impression that specialists receive and transmit to them with an objective assessment of the situation.

    These are the capabilities of just one ammunition of a single name from the hypersonic "line" of its kind.

    In the arsenal of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are other weapons with the highest capabilities. These are, for example, long-range “Kalibr” cruise missiles that have already been tested in operation. In the reports of our Ministry of Defence, they are usually called high-precision long-range weapons.

    If we switch to the non-strategic level, then unmanned reconnaissance and strike systems have proven themselves admirably. It should be noted that the military air defence system works perfectly. Every day, the Ministry of Defence reports on the elimination of another "pack" of enemy drones. The planes, it seems, have already been forgotten. Our aviation has made a huge contribution to this matter. It's like that, in general terms, the perfect assault looks like.

    As the official representative of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said at a briefing, the armed forces of the Russian Federation have established control over the city of Izyum (Kharkov region).

    During the night, two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down in the air by Russian air defence systems. 60 military facilities of Ukraine were hit. Among them: two command posts, two MLRS installations, four warehouses of rocket and artillery weapons and ammunition, and 47 places of accumulation of military equipment.

    In total, since the beginning of the special military operation, 257 unmanned aerial vehicles, 202 anti-aircraft missile systems, 1,572 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 160 multiple rocket launchers, 633 field artillery and mortar guns and 1,379 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed.

    If we make an approximate estimate, such a number of destroyed equipment corresponds to approximately one air and two or three tank armies, plus: 7-8 anti-aircraft missile brigades; and 14-16 artillery brigades. Plus one more fleet.

    In addition to combat figures for hitting enemy targets, the Ministry of Defence provided new data on the activities of American biological laboratories in Ukraine. There is more and more information about the development of biological weapons components. There is also data on the testing of unregistered medicines on Ukrainian servicemen. As it seems, in the future, the topic of biological laboratories will continue to attract close attention.  

    There are also not very ideal results. The advance of the joint forces of the Russian army, navy, DPR and LPR troops, leading to the final defeat of the enemy brigade groups, is limited by concern for the civilian population. Well, our soldier can't shoot at civilians and destroy social objects! We cannot do it, and the enemy uses this circumstance. Wherever possible, it creates "human shields". The very definition already sounds cynical. Such actions themselves become the height of cynicism.

    Recently, the "best" motivator of neo-Nazis and racists around the world, Frenchman Bernard-Henri Levy, was spotted in Odessa. Apparently, the Ukrainian regime understands that anti-Bandera sentiments are strong there. Indeed, how can one forget the atrocities of bandits, especially the burning of 42 people in the House of Trade Unions on May 2, 2014. Apparently Levy was called in to reinforce the bottleneck. The Odessa Regional Military Administration actively helps him. Its leader Maksim Marchenko is the former leader of the “Aidar” gang. By his Decree No. 101 of March 16, 2022 "On the organisation of Defence", he ordered, among other things, "not to allow the exit of civilians through humanitarian corridors”. That's the reality.

    And again, the idea has recently slipped that the militants can occupy the Odessa catacombs and hold a long defence there. If we turn again to the topic of a perfect storm, we can say this: "Banderists, you risk running into ammunition of a volumetric explosion and/or thermobaric ammunition. The Russian Defence Ministry has already called on you to think seven times first, and then do something. You are once again being urged to think."

    So far, there are no ways that can reverse the situation with the humanitarian situation. The same Anglo-Saxons are actively playing on the side of the Kiev cannibalistic regime. They block our initiatives at the international level.

    On the night of March 23-24, the UN Security Council did not adopt Russia's draft resolution on Ukraine calling for a cease-fire to evacuate civilians. Russia and China voted for the resolution. The other members of the Security Council abstained. Abstained! How so? They abstained to increase the suffering of the population? It turns out, that yes. There is no other answer.

    Naturally, our Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenziya, criticised Western countries for "politicising the process" and expressed regret that the UN Security Council refuses to pay attention to resolving humanitarian issues.

    Yes, now the West is leading against us, as it seems to them, a perfect storm. Everything was mixed up here - politics, economics and military assistance to the nationalist-fascist Kiev regime.

    Before the next emergency NATO summit in Brussels, which was held yesterday, March 24, its "head" Jens Stoltenberg announced the expected decisions:

    - the alliance's defence will be strengthened, especially at the borders of Russia. New "battle groups" will be deployed in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia;

    - armament costs will be increased;

    - Support for Ukraine will continue. The Ukrainian regime will receive anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, drones, fuel and ammunition, and financial assistance. Additional assistance will be provided to protect against biological, chemical, nuclear and cyber threats. The alliance's training of Ukrainian servicemen, activated in 2014, will continue;

    - The bloc will not send its military personnel to Ukraine and create a no-fly zone over Ukraine in order to avoid a direct armed conflict with Russia.

    In his speech, Stoltenberg paid special attention to the issue of the use of chemical weapons. He piled up stories that have long been identified as unreliable about the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, about the "poisoning" of the Skripals and Navalny. The question arises - when and where will the next provocation of the next "White Helmets" be committed in order to blame Russia or its allies for what happened?

    Western leaders should sober up. Their vicious and stubborn position is not so stable. Russia, for example, has not yet turned on its economic capabilities at full capacity.

    At the economic level, a decision has been made to sell gas to unfriendly countries for rubles. It can happen that soon the dollar will cost thirty rubles. Don't be scared of cents. And the price of resources in the same currency will be set not by the mythical "market", but by our government. That's when the price will indeed become fair.
