Rusland's Expansie

Een hoop intimidatie en wapengekletter voordat men straks, in de winter, de gaskraan dicht draait en ons zal laten voelen wie degene is die een belangrijke troef in handen heeft, hopelijk wordt het een zachte winter..........

Laat ze het maar doen, het kost de Russen heel veel inkomsten en het opent hier de oogjes (p.s. NL heeft voldoende gas voor zich zelf)

Heftig! Waarschijnlijk wordt er wat anders bedoeld.

mag ik hopen anders hebben we zomaar een midzomernacht op  Kamtsjatka. (in oktober)

Rusland test nieuwe interballistische raket

De Russische marine heeft woensdag met succes een nieuw type interballistische raket getest. Dat heeft het Russische ministerie van defensie laten weten. Aan de succesvolle test van de Boelava-raket ging een lange en moeizame ontwikkeling vooraf.

Het projectiel werd afgevuurd van de nucleaire onderzeeër Joeri Dolgoroeki, die zich op het moment van de proef onder water bevond. De duikboot ligt in de Barentszzee. De kernkoppen van de raket raakten de beoogde doelwitten in Kamtsjatka, in het verre oosten van Rusland.

Veel eerdere tests met prototypes van de Boelava gingen de afgelopen tien jaar mis. Hierdoor ontstonden twijfels of de Russische marine wel in staat was zo'n ambitieus militair project succesvol af te ronden. Dat is nu alsnog gelukt.

NATO worried by an "unusual level of Russian air activity over European airspace": 19 warplanes intercepted today

Oct 29 2014

By David Cenciotti

Russian air activity across Europe is surging: three more formations intercepted today.

As reported yesterday, on Oct. 28, the German Air Force Eurofighter jets on QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) to provide NATO Baltic Air Policing were scrambled to intercept 2x MiG-31 Foxhound, 2x Su-34 Fullback, 1x Su-27 Flanker and 2x Su-24 Fencer jets over the Baltic Sea.

The following day, Oct. 29, three large packages of Russian planes skirting NATO "airspace" were detected and monitored by aircraft on QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) in both northern Europe and Turkey.

"These sizable Russian flights represent an unusual level of air activity over European airspace," said NATO in an official statement.

At approximately 3:00 a.m. CET NATO radars detected and tracked eight Russian aircraft flying in formation over the North Sea, in international airspace.

The Royal Norwegian Air Force scrambled its F-16s in QRA that intercepted and identified the Russian aircraft as four Tu-95 Bear H strategic bombers and four Il-78 tanker aircraft.

In what can be seen as a "show of force", two of the Russian strategic bombers flew parallel to the Norwegian coast, heading to the south-west and were intercepted by Eurofighter Typhoon jets scrambled by the Royal Air Force (whereas the remaining 6 Russian Air Force planes returned towards Russia).

West of Portugal the two Bears were intercepted by F-16s from the Portuguese Air Force.

According to NATO, "The bomber and tanker aircraft from Russia did not file flight plans or maintain radio contact with civilian air traffic control authorities and they were not using on-board transponders. This poses a potential risk to civil aviation as civilian air traffic control cannot detect these aircraft or ensure there is no interference with civilian air traffic."

Later on the same day, whilst the Tu-95 returned towards Russia, NATO radars detected and tracked four Russian aircraft flying over the Black Sea in international air space: 2 Tu-95 Bear-H bombers and 2 Su-27 Flanker fighter jets.

Turkish Air Force F-16s were scrambled and intercepted the Russian aircraft in international airspace.

During the afternoon of Oct. 29 October, NATO radars detected and tracked 7 Russian planes over the Baltics (needless to say, in international airspace): 2x MiG-31 Foxhound, 2x Su-34 Fullback, 1x Su-27 Flanker and 2x Su-24 Fencer jets (these were probably the very same aircraft intercepted on Oct. 28).

Portuguese F-16 Fighters assigned to the Baltic Air Policing Mission were scrambled from Šiauliai, Lithuania. It's unclear whether they reached the package or not; anyway, the Russian Air Force planes returned to Russia's airspace.

De NAVO blijft angstvallig stil rondom de Russische militaire opbouw in de arctische regio.

het gaat veelal om plekken die tot Rusland behoren...wordt ook weer nodige door VS geinvesteerd in Alaska..ook Canada heeft duidelijk grotere focus op Noordpool gebied.

[Zander]

Helaas is de politiek veel te veel gericht op interne problematiek. Want we hebben nog last van de naweeën van een economische crisis en als men in Den Haag/Brussel ergens bang voor is dan is het wel de portemonnee. Dit maakt politici, met name Europese politici, blind voor de grote boze buitenwereld.

En zeg nou zelf het is toch allemaal koek en ei in deze mooie wereld!!!!!!

-ISIS vs de rest van de wereld
-Rusland vs Oekraïne en het westen
-Taliban vs Afghanistan/Pakistan
-Israel vs zo'n beetje het hele M-O
-China vs al haar buurlanden

Maar gelukkig is dit alles een ver van onze bed show  :crazy:

De NAVO blijft angstvallig stil rondom de Russische militaire opbouw in de arctische regio.

Niet alleen de NAVO, ook de EU laat niets van zich horen en als we het over de noordpool hebben dan hebben we het over een uitermate belangrijke strategische regio in de nabije toekomst en dan ook nog eens onze voortuin.

Als we niet uitkijken staan we straks voor een voldongen feit.

Russia to get 'full radar coverage of the Arctic' by end of year to counter 'unwanted guests'

By The Siberian Times reporter29 October 2014

Revamped airfields on target in key Siberian locations as military is boosted in energy-rich region.

Full radar coverage of the  Arctic will be in place by the end of 2014, said Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

'We will complete our radar field this year, and in 2015 will be practically ready to meet unwanted quests both from the east and from the north,' he said at a meeting of his ministry's Public Council.

Russia will complete tern radar stations and 13 airfields in the Arctic to safeguard the nation's military security, said Lt. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev.

'We are planning to build 13 airfields, an air-ground firing range, as well as ten radar and vectoring posts,' he said.

Shoigu stressed work was underway on restoring military airfields on the Novosibirsk Islands and Franz Josef Land.

Reconstruction of airports at Tiksi, Naryan-Mar, Alykel, Vorkuta, Anadyr and Rogachevo is also underway, giving the military a hugely enhanced capability across the Arctic.

'The total value of useful minerals in Russia's Arctic region is more than $30,000 billion dollars,' reported RIA Novosti citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry.

'Gradually, the centre of gravity of Russia's oil and gas extraction will drift toward the Arctic sea shelf.'

The report continued: 'In recent years, Russia has been engaged in an active development of its northern territories, including extraction of hydrocarbon resources and also development of the Northern Sea Route, which is increasingly becoming an alternative to traditional routes from Europe to Asia.

'A range of measures has been taken to defend Russian interests in the Arctic, including of a military nature, taking into account the growing attention of NATO member states to the region.'

In April, President Vladimir Putin announced the creation in the Russian part of the Arctic of a unified system of surface ship and new-generation submarine bases.

Putin said Russia also had to increase the dependability of the protection of Russia's borders in the Arctic, including by strengthening its marine border forces group. Shoigu previously said that by 2014 Russia's forces would be deployed across the Arctic zone, from the northwest regions of the country to the Far East.

German Typhoons have intercepted 7 Russian Air Force combat planes over the Baltic Sea today

Oct 28 2014 / By David Cenciotti

NATO Baltic Air Policing mission is quite busy these days....

According to the Latvian military, on Oct. 28, the German Air Force Eurofighter jets on QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) at Šiauliai, Lithuania, to provide NATO Baltic Air Policing were scrambled to intercept seven Russian Air Force planes flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea.

The German interceptors identified the Russian planes as a large package, made of attack planes and escort, which included 2x MiG-31 Foxhound, 2x Su-34 Fullback, 1x Su-27 Flanker and 2x Su-24 Fencer jets.

Regardless to whether the Russian aircraft were involved in one of the frequent training missions in the Baltics or were commuting to/from the Russian airfield in Kaliningrad oblast, the package on Oct 28 represents one of the largest "formations" intercepted by NATO fighter planes during the last couple of years.

Usually, close encounters involve Russian, Swedish or U.S. spyplanes intercepted before (or after) violating sovereign airspaces. Sometimes, scrambles are required to greet Moscow's Tu-22 or Tu-95 bombers on long-range training patrols or strike packages involved in (alleged) simulated air strikes on one of North Europe's states (usually, Sweden).

Anyway, Russian Air Force missions in the Baltic area have surged, to such an extent NATO presence has quadrupled in the last year: from one nation providing four aircraft in QRA at one base in Lithuania, to four nations (currently Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Canada) at two airbases (the second being Amari, in Estonia).

..... nauwelijks samenwerking .....

Wat wordt hiermee bedoeld?

wat niet is zal vast komen...als we tenminste onze eigen strategische veiligheidsbelangen serieus (gaan) nemen..en die niet laten beheren door 1 van onze belangrijkste (economische) concurrenten. Vrienden prima!, maar eigen veiligheid regelen.

Wel heel veel onzekerheden vindt je ook niet? (waarmee ik ook vind we autonoom MOETEN zijn/worden)

"zal vast" en "als"  Misschien maken we het in ons leven nog mee...
