29 Posted on   September 30, 2014   by   tim Stepanov Slava has travelled to the factory that assembles SU-130 warplanes and has taken some very, very artistic photos of the process, plus he has a story with the photos, and we are telling it all here now inside this post. I really advise you to read it all the way through as the pics are awesome and lots of small details of the production lines of these planes are revealed. It must have been top secret just a while ago but for some reason it is pretty public now. So let's see it: Posted on   September 30, 2014   by   tim First, a few words on the plane. The SU-30 is a two seater jet that is assembled in Irkutsk city. The factory is called IAZ - Irkutsk Aircraft Zavod (Factory) and it has produced over 7,000 warplanes since its start.

In three years, Russia will have the world’s first floating nuclear power plant, capable of providing energy and heat to hard-to-get areas as well as drinking water to arid regions. The unique vessel should be operational by 2016, the general director of Russia’s biggest shipbuilders, the Baltic Plant, Aleksandr Voznesensky told reporters at the 6th International Naval Show in St. Petersburg. The Akademik Lomonosov is to become the spearhead of a series of floating nuclear power plants, which Russia plans to put into mass-production. The floating power-generating unit, aimed at providing energy to large industrial enterprises, port cities and offshore gas and oil-extracting platforms, was designed on the basis of nuclear reactors which are equipped on the icebreakers ships. The technology has proved itself for over 50 years of successful operation in extreme Arctic conditions. The floating power plant is a vessel with a displacement of 21,500 tons and a crew of 69 pe...

Indrani Bagchi Monday June 22, 2009 A week ago, a visit by Pervez Musharraf, former Pakistan president, to Russia alerted Indian authorities.The visit was facilitated by a private businessman, but India realized quite soon that Musharraf wasdoing some facilitation of his own, preparing the way for the visit of Pakistan army chief, Ashfaque Kayani today. Musharraf, who remains very much a part of Pakistan's military establishment reportedly had a very "productive" meeting with Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin. The upshot of that meeting seems to be that Russia is willing to take another look at a defence relationship with Pakistan. Kayani went off on a short visit to Russia today, where he is to meet defence and foreign ministers and the army chief. The key question is, can this be the turning point in Russia's defence relationship with Pakistan? If Russia starts selling arms to Pakistan, it will actually be a hugeturnaround – in all these decades, Russia is pro...

MOSCOW: The Kyrgyz government is planning to close a strategically important U.S. military base that Washington uses as a route for troops and supplies heading into Afghanistan, Russian media reported Tuesday. Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev said at a news conference in Moscow that “all due procedures” were being initiated to close Manas Air Base, the Russian news agency RIA-Novosti reported. The announcement was made after news reports of a multimillion-dollar aid package from Russia to Kyrgyzstan. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell on Tuesday called Manas “a hugely important air base.” “It provides us with launching point to provide supplies in Afghanistan. We very much appreciate [Kyrgyz] support in using that base and we hope to continue,” he said at his daily news briefing. Gen. David Petraeus, who oversees U.S. operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, including Afghanistan, was in Kyrgyzstan last month, partly to lobby the government to allow the United States to keep usi...

NEW DELHI: The Indian Army's endeavour to induct the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile as "a precision-strike weapon" took a hit on Tuesday, with the missile failing to achieve laid-down parameters in a test. This comes at a time when the Pakistan Army is galloping ahead in inducting its nuclear-capable Babur land-attack cruise missile (LACM) - developed with China's help to have a strike range of over 500 km - in large numbers into its arsenal. Initially, the BrahMos LACM test from the Pokhran field firing range at 10.23am on Tuesday was touted as "successful" by defence ministry officials. But later in the day, this newspaper learnt that it had been quite unsuccessful. Top defence officials were, however, still reluctant to dub the test, which was witnessed by Army chief General Deepak Kapoor, as "a complete failure". "BrahMos is a unique missile, which has been tested flawlessly almost 20 times till now. On Tuesday, we were test-firing it ...

CIA, RAW and Mossad cooperation in various pastures under the prevailing security environment might be termed as the world’s most dangerous collaboration of future history. Their relationships are taking the humanity into hell due to their malicious activities against their own and other’s nations. The earth peace deteriorated speedily just after the collapse of Russia because India Israel & US started promoting and supportingstate terrorism through their intelligence agencies (CIA, RAW & Mossad) to gain their strategic objectives on any cost . Without hesitating one can claim that all on going earth crises are the reflection of their illegal interference, false reporting and target orientated actions against opposing local forces orcountries. Iraq crises, Middle East Issue, Kashmir problem, Afghan matter, Dalai Lama movement against China, rebels problem of Sri Lanka, water issues of South Asia, communal clashes of India, South Korean and Iranian nuclear issues, China - Hong...
