The UAF got a rocket complex similar to Javelin

Crimea - Ukraine News in brief. Tuesday 29 August. [Ukrainian sources] DIZ5FYWW4AUFb3V

The light portable rocket complex "Corsair" of Ukrainian development was adopted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and has similar characteristics to the American Javelin

This is reported by the press center of the Ukroboronprom.

The Design Bureau "Luch", which developed the missile complex, has already manufactured and supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine over 50 missiles to Korsar, along with a designated number of launchers.

"Corsair" allows you to fire at a distance of 2.5 km, as in the American FGM-148 Javelin. The rocket is guided by a laser beam. In this case, the guidance is carried out at a low energy level of radiation, in order to conceal the channel of control of the weapon.

One of the main features of this complex is the dimensions, which allow it to carry and carry fire from the shoulder, without the use of additional devices.



-Recall, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexander Turchinov, in 2016, said that Ukraine could produce an analogue of Javelin rocket systems.

In Russia, they reacted to Ukraine's readiness to officially declare it an aggressor country: "An absolutely wild statement"

The head of the commission of the Public Chamber (OP) of Russia on the development of public diplomacy, humanitarian cooperation and the preservation of traditional values, Elena Sutormina called "completely wild" the desire of the authorities of Ukraine to officially declare the Russian Federation an "aggressor country".

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to " RIA Novosti."

"A completely wild statement, and so accusations towards Russia are flowing by the river, but this is, of course, the transition of all reasonable borders." If at a legislative level, "I'm afraid, first of all, the situation in Ukraine itself may worsen," Sutormina said.

She wondered how the population of Ukraine, "who has many relatives, friends and relatives in Russia", will react to this, and how people will react to the fact that "for the money's sake, the authorities are, in fact, ready to start a war with their own citizens."

"It is also clear that there is no question of any long-term development of the country at all: many investors will want to invest and build economic systems in a state where the regime is struggling with its own population." I think that the answer lies on the surface. Once again prove that modern Kiev is only interested in a momentary profit, "the public figure is convinced.

Recall that the bill on the reintegration of Donbas by 99.9% is ready for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to be introduced into the Ukrainian parliament . In the new law for the first time at the legislative level will be introduced the concept of Russia, the aggressor.

Belarusian Defense Ministry details Zapad 2017 exercise scenario

According to the source, modern approaches to using military force were taken into account to put together the scenario of the exercise. The scenario draws upon the experience of armed conflicts of the last few years, tactical exercises, forms and ways of using military units as deemed fit by the Belarusian and Russian armies. In view of the events unfolding in the Middle East the core of the scenario stems from a similar crisis situation, which grows into a conflict involving illegal armed groups and international separatist and terrorist organizations with outside support.

According to the scenario, the opposing forces are located within the actual borders of Belarus. The situation deteriorated because of the intentions to destabilize the state of affairs in Belarus and worsen relations in the Union State of Belarus and Russia.

As part of the scenario Belarus is intent on preventing an armed conflict and the destabilization of the regional situation while Russia provides political support, financial, military technology aid, and military assistance to Belarus in accordance with the effective legal base. The exercise is designed to prepare and deploy military forces with a view to ensuring the military security of the Union State of Belarus and Russia..................

Russian manufacturer of tanks "Uralvagonzavod" because of sanctions could not get imported equipment, even through an intermediary

Crimea - Ukraine News in brief. Tuesday 29 August. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

The Czech company refused to supply components for the production of machines required by Uralvagonzavod (UVZ), in connection with economic sanctions.

As transfers Цзензор.НЕТ , referring to the Russian edition of "Vedomosti", this was stated by an official of the Russian antimonopoly committee for the Sverdlovsk region Dmitry Shalabodov.

It is about supplying the Czech Gearspect Group with a complex of gear processing equipment worth 292 million rubles. For the JSC "Plant number 9" (the production of artillery guns, Yekaterinburg, is part of the UVZ) through OOO Prom-Oil (Perm).

Having won an open auction in June this year, Gearspect entered into a preliminary agreement of intent with Prom-Oil, guaranteeing the delivery of equipment. But on July 24, the Czech company refused to sign a contract, "referring to the tightening of economic sanctions against Russian enterprises and the failure to submit a counter-guarantee from the Czech bank in connection with this."

Shalabodov explained that the Czech enterprise refused the delivery, having learned about its scheme: the Perm company bought parts from it for machine tools from it, and later participated in bidding for the delivery of products to Uralvagonzavod.

"A letter was received from the Czech company for a Perm enterprise, saying:" We have to admit that we will not be able to fulfill our preliminary agreement because economic sanctions were imposed and our government did not recommend carrying out the delivery procedures under this contract," - said Shalabodov.

According to him, from participating in the contract of the bank guarantee (490 mln.), "last minute" refused Raiffeisenbank and other bank "Prom-Oil" in the term could not be found.

Shalabodov noted that "The plant number 9 "notified with .. verdlovskoe OFAS about what happened and did not insist on the inclusion of "Prom-Oila" in the register of unfair suppliers "We agree, this force majeure situation", - said the official

UVZ is under European sanctions since autumn 2014. European companies are prohibited from providing financing directly or indirectly to the sanctions companies.

In early August, Europe imposed sanctions against Russian companies and officials involved in the supply of Siemens turbines to the occupied Crimea. The turbines were sold to Siemens for use on the territory of Russia, the EU's decision says: the transfer of turbines to the occupied Crimea was a violation of the terms of the contract.

Companies that fall under the sanctions, were parties to the agreements: a company - the buyer turbines and is responsible for the transportation (of "Tekhnopromexport"), the owner of the turbines (JSC "Tekhnopromexport") and a company specializing in the management and control systems in power plants (ZAO "Interavtomatika" , JV "Technopromexport" and Siemens).

The aggression of Russia made Ukraine more nationalistic, united and pro-Western - Volcker

Special representative of the US State Department Kurt Volker believes that the Russian aggression in Ukraine led to the unification of Ukrainian society.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to UNIAN.

According to the diplomat, when introducing troops, Russia hoped that it would be able to keep Ukraine in its orbit as part of the Russian sphere of influence and identity.

"But in reality their invasion and occupation created a more nationalistic, more united and more pro-Western Ukraine, which in fact did not really benefit Russia's interests, in fact, it probably hurt them" Volcker said.

He believes that it is possible that Russia will worsen the situation and that "this could turn into another frozen conflict."

"I do not think anybody wants this, in my opinion, we must work to prevent and resolve this conflict, so that Ukraine regains its territory and that the security of all citizens of Ukraine is guaranteed," Volcker added.
