I would like you to meet Polina Kovaleva. Polina is a 26-year-old glamorous Russian girl from London. She lives in a huge apartment in Kensington and loves to party, her instagram feed looks like a non-stop holiday. That’s not unheard of, but there is one small detail…

Polina is the stepdaughter of Russia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov. Yes, THAT Lavrov. He is one of Putin's closest allies, his loyal talking head full of hot air and now also a war criminal.

Putin’s cronies often have two families at the same time. Putin himself, while being married to Ludmila Putina, had a second family with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva. Minister of Defence Shoigu had two wives and two sets of children simultaneously. And Lavrov is no different.

Lavrov has had the ‘official’ wife for the past 50 years. No one has heard of her or seen them together in public in ages, though. As opposed to this lady, Svetlana Polyakova. She is the actual wife, they have been together since the early 2000s.

Unlike Lavrov's official wife, that woman is loaded. She bought an apartment in Moscow worth $6-8m. In the picture below you can see Svetlana’s car collection. Not bad for an unemployed lady.

Svetlana also accompanies Lavrov on every official foreign affairs trip. Sometimes she even takes her 78 y.o. mother and her niece. The whole family are listed as members of the diplomatic mission. We found out that Polyakova has used the MFA plane more than 60 times.

Our glamorous Londoner Polina is her daughter from a previous marriage. Here are the pictures that Polina took at her mom’s house in Moscow. There are portraits of Lavrov on the table, very cute. On the third shot you can see Lavrov himself in the flesh.

Polina’s mom and Lavrov have been together for around two decades now. Polina’s biological dad isn’t super rich. She doesn’t have an oligarch husband. But at the age of 21, she bought this apartment in London on Kensington High Street for £4.4m.

She paid cash. No mortgage. £4.4m. Can anyone explain how this is possible? Her only source of money is her unemployed mother who happens to be Lavrov’s informal wife. This is the textbook example of unexplained wealth. The property can be legally seized right now.

Lavrov gave numerous speeches about the evil anglo-saxon world and the awful liberal western countries who want to destroy Russia and Ukraine. So why on Earth does his step-daughter live in the centre of London? Why not in Crimea or Donbass, why doesn’t she move there?

Polina and her mom must get sanctioned. Polina has to pack her Louis Vuitton suitcases, say goodbye to her British life and leave the UK. Should she not be able to explain where she got the £4.4m from, her property must be arrested under the Unexplained Wealth Order procedure.

Here is the list of the Lavrov family members who should never be allowed to set foot on the UK soil ever again:
Polina Kovaleva 04.06.1995
Svetlana Polyakova 28.11.1970
Tamara Polyakova 01.05.1948
Valeria Polyakova 09.08.2003
Sergey Lavrov 21.03.1950

With the tip of a hunting knife, a senior Ukrainian security official removed 18 screws and lifted off the lid of a small black metal box. Inside were four sliding panels packed with scores of computer chips.

This was the electronic brain of an unexploded Russian 9M727 cruise missile — one of the devastating weapons Russia has used to strike Ukraine since it invaded the country on Feb. 24. Russian troops have fired more than 3,650 missiles and guided rockets in the first five months of the war, according to Ukrainian authorities, destroying military targets as well as apartment buildings, shopping centers, and killing hundreds of civilians. On July 14, three cruise missiles struck the city of Vinnytsia, killing 27 people, including a four-year-old girl, Ukrainian authorities say. Russia says it only fires at military targets.

The black metal box, as well as other Russian weaponry shown to Reuters, were collected on the battlefield by Ukraine’s military. They contain Russian electronics bearing Cyrillic markings, sometimes handwritten.

But many of the most important electronic components inside are microcontrollers, programmable chips and signal processors stamped with the names of American chip-makers, including Texas Instruments Inc; Altera, owned by Intel Corp; Xilinx, owned by Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD); and Maxim Integrated Products Inc, acquired last year by Analog Devices Inc. Chips made by Cypress Semiconductor, now owned by Germany’s Infineon AG, were also visible.






“It’s quite simple,” said the senior Ukrainian official, who requested anonymity for security reasons. “Without those U.S. chips, Russian missiles and most Russian weapons would not work.”

The Western components in the Russian weapons were examined as part of an investigation by Reuters in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a London-based defense think tank, and iStories, a Russia-focused investigative news site.

While some of the more sophisticated Western chips in the Russian weapons have been subject to special export licensing requirements for years, the investigation found that many of the armaments also contain run-of-the-mill computer chips and other components found in consumer products. These are easily obtainable and in many cases aren’t subject to export restrictions.

After the invasion, the United States and other countries banned high-tech exports to Russia to try to cripple its defense industry and tech companies announced that they had halted all exports to Russia. Yet the reporting team found that the flow of Western brand-name computer parts to Russia hasn’t stopped, with thousands of shipments since the invasion of Ukraine. The shippers were mainly unauthorized suppliers, but they also included some manufacturers.

Reuters provided to AMD, Analog Devices, Infineon, Intel and Texas Instruments data from Russian customs records on shipments of their products to Russia that arrived after the invasion.

Three of the manufacturers – AMD, Analog Devices and Infineon – said they had launched internal investigations after Reuters provided the customs data showing thousands of recent shipments of their products to Russia by third-party sellers. Infineon and Texas Instruments said products that they had shipped were already in transit at the time of the invasion. Intel said goods it shipped were internal company deliveries before it ceased its Russian operations in early April.

Asked about their chips’ use in Russian weapons systems, the companies said they comply with export controls and trade sanctions. Infineon said it was “deeply concerned should our products be used for purposes for which they were not designed.” Intel said it “does not support or tolerate our products being used to violate human rights.”

Russia’s reliance on Western electronics for its weapon systems has been known for years. Moscow has a long history of acquiring smuggled military-grade parts from the United States, including costly specialized chips for satellites that can withstand radiation in space. On the day of the invasion, the White House announced that the United States and its allies were imposing “Russia-wide restrictions on semiconductors, telecommunication, encryption security, lasers, sensors, navigation, avionics and maritime technologies” that it said would “cut off Russia’s access to cutting edge technology.” Many non-military tech products, however, remain exempt.

Russia characterizes the conflict as a special military operation meant to disarm Ukraine. Moscow has cast the sanctions as a hostile act and has denied targeting civilians.

A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Commerce, which administers export restrictions, said, “The powerful export controls put in place by the U.S. and 37 allies and partners are severely impacting Russia’s access to items and technologies it needs to sustain its military aggression, including semiconductors. As time goes on and their stockpiles continue to diminish, our controls will bite even harder.”

“We will remain vigilant and engaged with our allies and partners in enforcing our controls,” he said.

Microwave-oven chips

The onboard computer system inside the cruise missile’s black metal box shows that Russia doesn’t just rely on state-of-the-art technology for its precision weaponry. For example, stamps on two of the Texas Instruments chips – which process digital signals – showed they were manufactured more than 30 years ago.

“For the most part, it’s the same chips that you find in your car or your microwave,” said a Ukrainian weapons expert with access to recovered Russian military gear.

Gehan Amaratunga, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Cambridge, reviewed a list of more than 600 Western components compiled by RUSI and Reuters that were found in Russian weapons and military systems recovered in Ukraine. “They are mostly standard products which are dated and can be found in many industrial electronic systems,” he said. “As such, they are not specialist military specification products.”

Still, he added, “it is the reality that all standard integrated circuits can be used for both civilian and military purposes.”

Despite what the West has described as an unprecedented series of strict sanctions against Russia, many commodity electronic components still aren’t subject to export controls. And even if they are, there’s a global galaxy of suppliers and traders in East Asia and other countries that are willing to ship them and are often beyond the control of Western manufacturers.

A review by Reuters of Russian customs records identified more than 15,000 shipments of Western electronic components that reached Russia after its Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine through the end of May. The manufacturers included AMD, Analog Devices, Infineon, Intel and Texas Instruments.

The parts included microprocessors, programmable chips, storage devices and other items, according to the Russian customs data.

Russia itself has made no secret of its desire to continue the flow of imported Western tech products. In June, President Vladimir Putin signed a law to permit Russian companies to import electrical goods and their components without the patent owners’ permission.

...

Russia has become adept at converting consumer-grade chips for military use. For example, Western weapons manufacturers often rely on special military-grade versions of chips to ensure they can withstand very high temperatures. Since such chips are subject to export controls and harder to procure, Russian weapons companies have found alternatives, according to one of three Ukrainian weapons experts interviewed by Reuters.

Δεν θα το πιστέψετε αλλά η Μαρία ζήτησε αυτοσυγκράτηση:

«Παρατηρούμε με βαθιά ανησυχία την εξέλιξη των γεγονότων» τόνισε η Μ. Ζαχάροβα
Η Μόσχα εξέφρασε σήμερα «βαθιά ανησυχία» για την ανταλλαγή πυρών μεταξύ του ισραηλινού στρατού και της παλαιστινιακής Ισλαμικής Τζιχάντ στη Λωρίδα της Γάζας, καλώντας και τα δύο μέρη να επιδείξουν αυτοσυγκράτηση.....

Το αρματικό δυναμικό της Ρωσίας (σύντομο ανέκδοτο) δεν έχει παίξει τον παραμικρό ρόλο, πέρα του στόχου εξάσκησης για τους Ουκρανούς.
Το ίδιο και η αεροπορία και το ναυτικό αλλά και τα λιγοστά όπλα ακριβείας που έχουν.
Απλά αυτά όσον αφορά τους ρώσους δεν υφίστανται σε σύγχρονο πεδίο μάχης, υπάρχουν παρά μόνο για τα χάπατα στις παρελάσεις.

Όλη την δουλειά την κάνει το πυροβολικό τους, το οποίο αποτελείται κυρίως απο απαρχαιωμένα συστήματα αλλά σε τεράστιους αριθμούς, τα οποία βομβαρδίζουν τυφλά και απλά ισοπεδώνουν κτήρια, δάση, λόγκους, βουνά, ραχούλες. Πρόκειται κυριολεκτικά για ορκς.
Ο μόνος λόγος που το καταφέρνουν ακόμη κι αυτό, είναι η αδύναμη -ακόμη- ουκρανική αεροπορία και αντιπυροβολικό. Διαφορετικά θα ήταν κυνήγι γαλοπούλας.

Θερμικό σκόπευτρο σοβιετικού άρματος T-72 (το 'αρμα που χρησιμοποιούν κατά βάση οι Ρώσοι σήμερα)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales_Group

Έχω υπηρετήσει τθ που βέβαια δεν είχαν τοτε θερμικό σκοπευτήριο κλπ.... Θέλω μια διευκρίνιση αυτά τα όργανα είναι έτσι μέσα στον πύργο στην θέση του σκοπευτή η τα έχουν βγάλει και απλά τα φωτογράφησαν, έξω από τον πύργο;

Αν ισχύει το πρώτο πρόκειται για τραγική υπόθεση.

Το Τ72 βγήκε το 1969 έχουν παραχθεί 25.000 και εξακολουθούν να το παράγουν ακόμα και το Τ90 μια μικρή παραλλαγή του Τ72 είναι.

[Προέλλην]

Αυτό το σκόπευτρο/θερμική διόπτρα βρίσκεται μέσα στο πύργο, το έχει ο χειριστής του πυροβόλου.

Είναι το Catherine FC της γαλλικής Thales. Έτσι φαίνεται το εξωτερικό του μέρος, πάνω στον πύργο:



Σε κάποια άρματα έχουν το Catherine FC της Thales φτιαγμένο στο ρωσικό της εργοστάσιο:



σε άλλα έχουν μια μαϊμού κόπια που την καλούν "Sosna-U".

Mιλάμε για μη σύγχρονα συστήματα και γενικότερα τα T-72 είναι σαπάκια. Έχουν στα νεκροταφεία καμιά 6.000-7.000, απο αυτά έχουν αναβαθμίσει με τέτοια παλαιότερης γενιάς δυτικά ηλεκτρονικά μερικές εκατοντάδες, συγκεκριμένα:

550 T-72B3M : έχει διόπτρα και για τον αρχηγό πληρώματος, καθώς και νεότερης γενιάς ενεργητική θωράκιση
850 T-72B3 : ενσωματώνει βασικές δυτικές δυνατότητες π.χ. την θερμική διόπτρα για τον πυροβολητή, καλύτερο κινητήρα και λίγο παραπάνω θωράκιση
630 T-72B : μοντέλο του 1984, το παλιό του 69 απλά με λίγο καλύτερη θωράκιση
417 Τ-90 : T-72 λίγο καλύτερο απο το T-72B3M
480 Τ-80 : πιο βαρύ άρμα που δεν μπορούν να συντηρήσουν σε μεγάλους αριθμούς (3,000 μη αναβαθμισμένα σάπια σε εφεδρεία)
T-14 Armata απλά δεν υπάρχουν, πρόκεται για scum. Αυτή η χώρα δεν μπορεί να παράξει σύγχρονο άρμα.

Aυτά προ Ουκρανίας, γιατί εκεί έχουν ήδη χάσει μερικές εκατοντάδες απο αυτά.

Όλες οι εκδόσεις του T-72 δεν μπορούν να αντισταθούν απέναντι σε σύγχρονα αλλά και σε όχι τόσο σύγχρονα αντιαρματικά πυρά. Ουσιαστικά πρόκειται για φέρετρα σε ερπύστριες.
Το αποκορύφωμα είναι το λάθος εξ αρχής design, με τα βλήματα να αποθηκεύονται κάτω και περιμετρικά του πύργου, με αποτέλεσμα μετά το πλήγμα να εκτινάσετai ο πύργος δεκάδες μέτρα ψηλά

Απέναντι σε δυτικά άρματα δεν έχουν την παραμικρή ελπίδα. Γενικά, η όλη φάση είναι ότι έχουν ένα pool σοβιετικά άρματα 50ετίας και το μόνο που μπορούν να κάνουν είναι κάποιες αναβαθμίσεις με δυτική τεχνολογία.
