LoooSeR Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Quote Media: Japanese defense minister protests against deployment of troops in the Kurils According to Kyodo, Tomomi Inada protested against the deployment of the Russian division on the southern Kuril Islands and the deployment of ground-to-ship missiles there. In 2016, coastal rocket complexes "Bastion" and "Bal" were deployed on the South Kuril islands of Iturup and Kunashir. In 2015, anti-aircraft missile systems Tor-M2U were put on combat duty there. Now the possibility of creating a base of the Pacific Fleet on the islands of the Great Kuril chain is being studied. In addition, in February the head of the Russian Defense Ministry said that this year it is planned to complete the formation of four new divisions, including for the protection of the Kuriles. This statement was negatively received in Tokyo, and the government of the country sent a protest to the Russian side, which noted that such a strengthening of Russia's military presence on the Kuril Islands does not correspond to Tokyo's position with respect to these territories. As the Russian side has repeatedly stated, the deployment of troops and missiles in the Kuriles is a sovereign right of the Russian Federation.

Donward Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well the apparent attacker certainly does fit a certain demographic group. Also, nice center mass shot. Glad someone in Ol' Blighty can still handle a shooting iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is rather small "terrorist" attack. More like one of those US single-idiot shootings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well there were 40 injured as well, according to the news reports that have come out. You can question the severity of some of those injuries. But it is still a pretty fucking major terrorist attack. Particularly when the Prime Minister was apparently 40 yards away at the time.

LoooSeR Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Quote According to South China Morning Post sources, five army groups (armies) can be reduced as part of the ongoing military reform in the PLA. Four armies (14th, 47th, 20th and 27th) are supposed to be disbanded, and two more armies (40th and 16th) will be united. Some of the formations of the disbanded armies can be transferred to the Marine Corps of the Navy and the Airborne Forces of the PLA Air Force.

I am surprised that nothing really serious still happened in UK taking into account how much immigrants were accepted without proper integration work. Terrorists can have a rather easy time with bomb-making and starting series of bus bombings or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguetechie Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 The South China post story is interesting... I wonder how many of those guys will wind up part of the Chinese Marines which China seems hell bent on standing up as quickly as possible. I'm very curious to see how that entire project works out. They certainly seem to have pretty solid pieces of kit as a foundation to build upon. To include their building new Zubr hovercraft. On another site I mentioned that this also could be a sign of the Chinese government feeling more secure WRT it's own citizens. A Chinese expat friend of mine really hammered home the idea that the Chinese army has for the most part been geared towards internal security more than anything else. I also wondered out loud how many of them would wind up pulling security along the new silk road or various places in Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Quote In "Jane's Defense Weekly" in the article Sean O'Connor "Spaceshot: Russia completes Iskander-M missile shelters in Kaliningrad, 54.649566 N 021.823556 E" satellite image taken on February 10, 2017 shows that at the site of the deployment of the 152nd Independent Guards Rocketry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Russia in Chernyakhovsk, Kaliningrad Region, eight new mobile shelters for the deployment of the 9K720 Iskander-M operational and tactical missile complex have been completed. This testifies to the plans of the Russian side to permanently deploy the Iskander-M missile system as part of the 152nd missile brigade in the Kaliningrad region. Quote The photo published by the magazine is made by the SPOT satellite of Airbus Defense and Space company (directly received by the French National Center for Space Research - Center National d'Etudes Spatiales - CNES). According to the magazine, construction of shelters was started at the site in October 2016, and six shelters were ready in January 2017, and two more - by early February. Each mobile shelter has a size of about 54 by 22 m. It is reported that in February and March there were works on the erection of at least five more shelters. At present, the 152nd missile brigade is equipped with the 9K79-1 "Tochka-U", and it remains one of two Russian missile brigades (along with the 448th in Kursk), which preserves these complexes. Complexes "Iskander-M" to this time were transferred to Kaliningrad only temporarily for the period of the exercises. It can be assumed that the rearmament of the 152nd missile brigade at Iskander-M missile defense will take place in 2017 or 2018, although it is possible that for political reasons it will be postponed somewhat. Nevertheless, the infrastructure for Iskander-M in Chernyakhovsk is almost ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
