Russia's Cursed Carrier Is Coming Back to Sea. Maybe.

Russian state media claims the country’s only aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, will be ready for sea trials in 2022.

Russia lacks the money and shipyards to build a replacement for Kuznetsov.
Kuznetsov has suffered engine failures, fatal accidents, crashes, fires, and even embezzlement of funds to update the ship.

Russia’s only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, will reportedly emerge from its refit in 2022. That’s at least according to Russian state media, which quotes an anonymous source in the country’s shipbuilding industry.

The carrier, which has earned the reputation of a cursed ship, is in dire need of a replacement, but Russia lacks the funds and industrial capability to fully commit.

Depot explosion not Russian "act of state terrorism": Czech PM

2021-04-20 02:29:22 GMT2021-04-20 10:29:22(Beijing Time) Xinhua English

The alleged Russian involvement in a munitions depot explosion in the Czech Republic in 2014 was not an act of state terrorism, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said Monday after a government meeting.

It was an attack by Russian intelligence agents on goods belonging to a Bulgarian arms dealer, he said.

"I would mainly like to say that it was not an act of state terrorism, as we have heard," Babis said, referring to calls from the parliamentary opposition to label the attack as such.

Still, the incident was unacceptable, said Babis, adding that he wanted to declassify the document about the incident, but the investigation is still going on.

Babis said Saturday that the country was expelling 18 Russian embassy staffers for the alleged involvement of the Russian special services in the explosion.

In response, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Sunday it's expelling 20 staffers of the Czech embassy in Moscow. The ministry said Czech authorities used "unfounded and far-fetched pretexts" to continue their anti-Russian tirade in recent years and to please the United States following recent U.S. sanctions against Russia.

http://english.sina.com/world/as/2021-04-20/detail-ikmxzfmk7844403.sht
ml

Of course, none of this makes sense. After originally ruling the explosion an accident, why (and especially HOW) would the Czech government "discover" that it was sabotage? And why would Russia want to blow up arms in the Czech Republic, anyway?

Was it because the Czech Republic was in negotiations to buy Sputnik V vaccine from Russia?

Something is missing from all of this. what is it, again? Oh, yes .... evidence. When I see the evidence, I'll get to have some valid thoughts. But this is like the Navalny "poisoning": There is no evidence for the accusation.

I was going to get to this in the Biden* thread. But it's true: Aircraftcarriers are sitting ducks. They're usually accompanied by anti-submarine and anti-aircraft, anti-ship vessels, as well as fuel supplies (not for the aircraft carriers but for the carrier "group") and regular supplies (food, munitions etc).

Quote:
A carrier strike group (CSG) is a type of carrier battle group of the United States Navy.[1] It is an operational formation composed of roughly 7,500 personnel, usually an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least two destroyers or frigates,[2] and a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircraft. A carrier strike group also, on occasion, includes submarines, attached logistics ships and a supply ship. The carrier strike group commander operationally reports to the commander of the numbered fleet, who is operationally responsible for the area of waters in which the carrier strike group is operating.
U.S. Navy ships assigned to the USS George Washington Carrier Strike Group sail in formation in the Atlantic Ocean in November 2003.

Strike groups comprise a principal element of U.S. power projection capability; a single supercarrier holds enough firepower to rival the air forces of entire nations. Previously referred to as carrier battle groups (a term still used by other nations), they are often referred to by the carrier they are associated with (e.g., Enterprise Strike Group). As of March 2016 there are 10 carrier strike groups in the U.S. Navy.

That is some funny shit Polish russian Collaborator kiki. American carriers have keep the worlds oppressors in check with zero attacks carried out against them since world war two. With today’s carriers it’s a whole new ballgame. That is a fact stacked up against your biased speculations. And even if an enemy had the wherewithal to get through its defenses, a country would have to have the balls to carry that out knowing full well the consequences. Perhaps that more than anything else is what makes them invulnerable?

Romania expels Russian military attaché

BUCHAREST, April 26 (Reuters) - Romania is expelling the deputy military attaché at the Russian embassy for activities incompatible with his diplomatic status, the foreign ministry said.

Seven other former Soviet bloc countries in Central and Eastern Europe, all of them members of the European Union and the Western defense alliance NATO, have expelled Russian diplomats in recent weeks, triggering reciprocal measures by Moscow.

Most dramatically, Prague ordered out 18 Russian diplomats on April 17 after finding that Russian intelligence operatives were likely to have caused a blast at a Czech ammunition depot in 2014 that killed two people - an allegation Moscow denied.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/what-s-behind-russia-and-ukraine-
s-latest-tensions/vi-BB1g6nS1?ocid=msedgntp

The agreement talked about in the video works against Putin. Why, because it provided the Ukrainians time to build a real army backed by the west. One Putin knows can fight back and inflict large casualties if Russia should attack now. With Biden as President more arms will flow toward Ukraine making Putins’ Ukrainian situation untenable. This is a long term problem. The Ukrainians determination to recover their land will not dissipate. Putin has the watch but the Ukrainians have the time.

Putins’ agreement with the Russian people is, while I am stealing from you, you too will see better times. I will also give you global victories that you can take pride in. That is all coming to an end. The global victories are no more and the Russian people have experienced zero gains personally. Henceforth Putins’ creating an alliance, and trying to hide under Chinas’ protection.

The prosecutors said they can reasonably assume links between the explosions in Bulgaria, the attempted poisoning of Bulgarian arms trader Emilian Gebrev and the 2014 munitions depot explosion in the Czech Republic.

Oh, you mean like attacking, invading, and destroying other nations on specious grounds; applying unilateral sanctions; interfering in other nations' internal affairs and overthrowing legitimately-elected governments?

THAT'S RICH, coming from Blinken!

Notice that Blinken doesn't refer to "international law". Nope! What he refers to is the "rules" based order, which means that the USA gets to set the rules.

Well, no matter. All Blinken can do is huff and puff and name-call (like some people here) and maybe run a few black ops here and there, but the USA's hegemony is at an end bc the USA can't support its unlimited thirst for control with unlimited resources.

US Navy seizes huge weapons cache in Arabian Sea

The US Navy says it seized a huge cache of illicit Russian and Chinese weapons from a stateless vessel sailing in international waters of the northern Arabian Sea.

The US Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain, said on Sunday the guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey intercepted the boat and discovered the cargo during a routine boarding in a two-day operation on May 6-7.

“The cache of weapons included dozens of advanced Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles, thousands of Chinese Type 56 assault rifles, and hundreds of PKM machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenades launchers,” it said in a statement.

Suspicion is growing within the intelligence community and on Capitol Hill that Russia is conducting vicious attacks against Americans. Namely, as the Washington Examiner reported, intelligence is looking at focused radio frequency attacks ("microwave attacks") against the nervous systems of U.S. government personnel serving in foreign policy or national security roles.

President Joe Biden and his newly appointed national security team have pledged to make the issue a top priority.

NATO exercises sweep Europe amid Russian escalation, rising tensions between Moscow and US

Moving past the fallen guards, an American voice - among the mix of men speaking accented English -- shouted at two others in a car: "Get out! Hurry up, hurry up."

The team of US Navy SEALs, along with Romanian and Spanish Special Forces, quickly and quietly worked their way through the warehouse, firing on enemy fighters and, when possible, taking them prisoner.

When the operation was done, the assaulting team -- whose ammunition had consisted of plastic projectiles and paint rounds -- was told by an instructor they had passed the course and to get back in position to run it again.

Exclusive access
The SEALs, from Virginia Beach, are in Romania this month as part of a contingent of American special forces taking part in the "Trojan Footprint" military exercises across five Eastern European countries that involve 600 NATO and non-NATO forces, including troops from Ukraine and Georgia, which have both been invaded by Russia in recent years. The training is taking place alongside this month's much larger Defender-Europe 21 NATO joint exercises, which have some 28,000 forces participating from 26 different countries.

Both sets of military training exercises, while long-planned, follow a series of aggressive Russian military moves across Europe.

CNN was given exclusive access to see the American special forces - the SEALs and US Army's Green Berets - exercise in Romania and North Macedonia over several days. In central Romania, the Green Berets fast roped and rappelled down from helicopters alongside Ukrainian and Romanian soldiers before blasting and shooting their way into a makeshift house.

In North Macedonia, American special air tactics airmen taught local troops how to call in targets for an AC-130 plane that was firing on a distant ridgeline, the Macedonians carefully annunciating the coordinates in halting English.

One salvo, called in by an American officer, was significantly off target, appearing to be the result of a misunderstanding between the ground and air forces: A potentially deadly mistake that spoke to why live fire training is so vital.

The annual exercises were canceled last year during the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and while they are over a year in the making, it is lost on no one that they coincide with a dramatic escalation of tension between Russia and the West.

"We have to be strong and supportive of our allies when there is a threat," said David Muniz, the most senior US diplomat in Romania who serves as the embassy's chargé d'affaires. "When we are strong, when we are united, it has a real chilling effect, shall we say, on the kinds of things that can happen."
