Various American military aircraft, primarily Global Hawk drones, have conducted over 100 reconnaissance missions over the Black Sea this year. Some flew as close as 10km (6 miles) to the Russian border, a high-ranking regional army official announced.
The Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), as well as large US military reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 and P-8 Poseidon are engaged in frequent missions near Crimea from NATO bases in Sigonella, Italy, and Souda, Greece, Lieutenant General Viktor Sevostyanov told TASS.

While the main US surveillance routes lie alongside the Black Sea coast of the Crimean Peninsula, the commander in charge of Russia's Southern Air Force pointed out that the American aircraft fly only some 10-15km away from the border.

No airspace violations have been registered, but with US missions being conducted in the service area of the Russian military, Russian Air Force fighter jets have conducted over 100 sorties to accompany the US aircraft.

More than 70 percent of those flights were to accompany the US drones, the official added, saying that such sorties only help the Russian military practice its escort and interception skills.

“It is obvious that their [US] main task is to strategically identify any changes in the [Russian] Southern military region forces,” Sevostyanov told TASS, adding that he also doesn't exclude possibility that the US reconnaissance is “interested in the progress of the Crimea Bridge construction.”

The massive project is underway to connect the Crimean Peninsula to mainland Russia.

“This doesn’t look like anything else we’ve seen before” – skies light up in Yekaterinburg last night. A huge glowing spot in the skies. What caused it – still not clear.






The glowing is stable and monotonous, not reminding me anything else, writes Alexander.











One thing is clear – it’s of some artificial source. However locals say that they never seen something like this before.

Moscow decries 'hostility' as Trump moves toward new Russia sanctions

The Russian government on Friday accused the United States of displaying “hostility” as the Trump administration belatedly took the first steps toward imposing new sanctions to punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 presidential election.

In early August, after considerable delay and with minimal fanfare, President Trump signed into law a measure that required the new sanctions, which target individuals and firms with ties to Russian defense and intelligence agencies.

Under the law, companies that “knowingly engage in a significant transaction” with people or firms on the list could be subject to U.S. sanctions after Jan. 28.

The law gave the administration until Oct. 1 to produce a list, and the administration has been under mounting pressure from Congress to do so after it missed that deadline. Late Thursday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson authorized officials to release the list to key members of Congress.

On Friday, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, told reporters on a conference call that the new sanctions had “echoes of hostility” in them.

“These are echoes of unfriendly signs, to be precise, even hostility against our country,” Peskov said.

The exchange provided further evidence of the deteriorated state of relations between Russia and the United States. Despite initial celebrations in Russian political circles after Trump’s election, the Kremlin has been disappointed by the lack of improvement in Moscow-Washington relations.

Peskov pointed the finger at Washington for not doing its part, saying that while Russia was ready for better ties, Washington seemed “not so steady.”

“However, we will be patient and continue to be committed to a constructive approach,” he added.

The sanctions list, which has not been made public, covers more than two dozen Russian defense industry companies, including the Kalashnikov Group, the maker of the AK-47 automatic rifle.

Igor Pshenichnikov, an expert at the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, told the Russian news agency TASS that the inclusion of so many defense industry companies indicated that the U.S. was “making every possible effort to take over the global arms market.”

“It is an example of unfair and obnoxious competition," Pshenichnikov said.

Implementing the new sanctions could present complicated issues. Turkey, a NATO ally, plans to buy an anti-aircraft defense system from Russia. Saudi Arabia has been negotiating a similar purchase. Such purchases could potentially put both countries at risk of violating the new rules.

In a recent interview with CNN, Tillerson said that State and Treasury department officials were working on detailed guidance for how the new sanctions would work.

“We are being very careful,” he said, “because there are business entities that need guidance; there are important allies and partners in NATO, other parts of the world, who need specific guidance so that they do not run afoul of the sanctions act.”

“We have every intention of implementing Congress’ intent,” he added.

In a joint statement, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.), who have been among the leaders in Congress on the sanctions issue, praised the administration for taking a first step but warned that recent cutbacks at the State Department could hamper the sanctions.

The State Department needs to “dedicate robust staffing and resources to the implementation effort,” they said, noting that Tillerson has downgraded the department’s sanctions office and “a number of its staff have resigned.”

Whether the administration’s delay in moving ahead on the new sanctions stems from under staffing at the State Department, bureaucratic inertia or some deeper aversion by Trump to any steps against Moscow has been the subject of much discussion in Washington.

“I think that the Trump administration is slow when it comes to Russia,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in response to a question about the delay.

“They have a blind spot on Russia I still can’t figure out,” he added.

Vladimir Putin Personally Fires Four Ballistic Missiles in Russian Drills

• President personally fired four missiles, Kremlin says
• Russian nuclear exercises involved submarines, bombers

How Putin Became the Symbol of Russian Power

President Vladimir Putin personally fired four ballistic missiles during tests of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces, according to the Kremlin.

Putin took part in exercises involving the nuclear triad of strategic bombers, submarines and land-based missiles located in different parts of Russia, his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on a conference call Friday. The drills “aren’t connected with any international events and take place regularly,” Peskov said.

Tupolev long-range bombers fired cruise missiles, while Topol intercontinental ballistic missiles were launched from the Plesetsk spaceport in northern Russia, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said in a statement. Two other rockets were fired from nuclear submarines in the Pacific Ocean and Arctic Sea, and all targets were hit during Thursday’s exercises, it said.

The drills took place amid heightened international tensions after North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test last month. Russia shares a border with North Korea. Kim Jong Un’s regime has also launched more than a dozen rockets this year, including two intercontinental ballistic missiles that he claims could reach as far as the U.S. East Coast.

Amid an escalating war of words with U.S. President Donald Trump, North Korea has also threatened to test a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean. The nuclear crisis is likely to be high on the agenda when Trump visits Asia from Nov. 3 to Nov. 14, with stops in Japan, South Korea and China.

warning that Trump’s threat to destroy North Korea if the isolated Communist state attacked the U.S. was leading to a “very dangerous dead end.” Trump ridiculed Kim as “little rocket man” in a speech to the United Nations last month, prompting North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho to say the U.S. leader had lit the “fuse of war,” according to the Tass news service.

Putin told a Kremlin gathering of military officers on Thursday that Russia held more than 2,500 military exercises so far this year, including the Zapad 2017 drills with Belarus.

Putin takes part in Russian military drills, fires missiles

MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin has taken part in major military drills of Russian nuclear forces and personally directed the test-firing of four intercontinental ballistic missiles as part of the exercises, the Kremlin said Friday.

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the drills Thursday involved all elements of the military’s nuclear triad — nuclear submarines, strategic bombers and a land-based launcher. He added that the exercises were routine and not directly linked to any international developments.

Still, the president’s direct involvement in overseeing intercontinental ballistic missile launches is an event that has been rarely reported by the Kremlin in the past.

“The commander in chief conducted the launch of four intercontinental ballistic missiles,” Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.

Peskov wouldn’t elaborate on what specific part Putin played in the war games, saying that the president took “the necessary moves in line with the standard procedure for relevant situations as the commander in chief.”

The Russian Defense Ministry said that in Thursday’s drills, a Topol ICBM fired from the Plesetsk launchpad in northwestern Russia hit a designated target on the Kura firing range on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east.

A nuclear submarine in the Barents Sea also launched an ICBM at the same Kura range, while another nuclear submarine in the Sea of Okhotsk fired two ICBM in the opposite direction, hitting targets at the Chizha firing range in the Arkhangelsk region in Russia’s northwest.

As part of the maneuvers, the Tu-160, the Tu-95 and the Tu-22 bomber launched cruise missiles at mock targets at firing ranges on Kamchatka, the Komi region in the far North and in Russia’s ex-Soviet neighbor Kazakhstan.

The maneuvers are the latest in a steady series of war games intended to strengthen the troops’ readiness amid tensions with the West.

In September, the Zapad (West) 2017 drills held jointly by Russia and Belarus have worried some NATO members, who have criticized what they have described as a lack of transparency and questioned Moscow’s intentions. Russia has rejected the criticism.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting with top brass Friday that the military will continue to strengthen its forces in western Russia in response to a NATO buildup in Poland and the Baltics.

“The military-political situation at our western frontier remain tense and is set to exacerbate,” he said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin personally launched four ballistic missiles as part of military drills, his spokesman said Friday.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin, who is the supreme commander-in-chief of Russia’s Armed Forces, took part in the military exercises Thursday, Russian news agency TASS reported.

The revelation came after the country's defense ministry said Thursday that three ballistic missiles were fired from nuclear submarines and one was launched from the northwest of the country as part of the drills.

"The supreme commander-in-chief made launches of four ballistic missiles," Peskov said Friday. He said the exercises were routine and not directly linked to any international developments, the Associated Press reported.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said Thursday that strategic bombers took off from three airbases and launched cruise missiles against ground targets at three practice ranges.

"The training assignments were accomplished in full and all the practice targets were successfully destroyed," the Defense Ministry said in a statement carried by TASS.

Putin has cultivated something of a tough-guy image — photos of the bare-chested leader horseback riding, diving and spearfishing while on vacation in Siberia went viral. Putin also has a black belt in judo, according to media reports, and has released a DVD, Let’s Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin.

The military exercises came as international pressure continued on North Korea over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis visited the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea on Friday, and said that Pyongyang was building an arsenal of nuclear weapons to “threaten others with catastrophe."

Since July, North Korea has conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, launched missiles over Japan and test-launched two intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Putin himself just test-launched a nuclear-capable missile designed to beat US defenses

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently oversaw the launch of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles and apparently pulled the trigger on four of them himself, the Associated Press reports.

The large-scale military drill exercised Russia’s land, air, and sea-based nuclear capability with test launches from submarines, supersonic bombers, and a launch pad.

“The goal of the launch was to test advanced ballistic missile warheads,” a Russian defense ministry spokesman said. And the missiles, as well as the warheads, were very advanced.


Not only does the land-based missile boast a range of over 6,000 miles, enough to hit anywhere in the US with hundreds of kilotons of explosive force, but it has been tailor-made to evade US missile defenses.


Russian media reports that the Yars ICBM tested by Russia flies in a jagged pattern to evade missile defenses. Once the missile breaks up, it carries multiple reentry vehicles and countermeasures to confuse and overwhelm missile defenses.

Russia Insider via YouTube
Even in test conditions, US missile defenses struggle to intercept ICBMs, but the US doesn’t even stock a sufficient number of interceptors to repel a Russian attack.

Russia’s ministry of defense reported that all missiles hit their targets. Russia last launched the Yars in September during a massive military drill near its border with Eastern Europe.

Watch the ICBM launch below.
