ANALIZĂ | Operațiunea „Gershkovich”. Cum a pregătit FSB recuperarea ASASINULUI rus Vadim Krasikov și cine este GENERALUL care i-a raportat direct lui Putin

De la sfârșitul Războiului Rece, Evan Gershkovich a fost primul jurnalist american arestat în Rusia sub acuzația de spionaj. A fost condamnat la 16 ani de închisoare într-o colonie cu regim de maximă siguranță, după ce a fost găsit vinovat, oficial, de strângerea de informații despre fabrica Uralvagonzavod, la „ordinele” CIA. Uralvagonzavod este unul dintre cele mai mari complexuri științifice și…

The article "T-62 Tank — Cold War Soviet MBT Returns to Combat," written by Peter Suciu and published in The Armory Life, explores the resurgence of the Soviet-era T-62 main battle tank (MBT) in combat following the 2022 escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Initially introduced in the 1960s and considered outdated, the T-62 has surprisingly been refurbished and deployed by Russia with updated optics and additional armor. Despite its vintage status, the T-62 has faced modern anti-tank weapons like the U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin, British NLAW, and Swedish AT4, making it vulnerable on the modern battlefield. The article discusses its design evolution, historical combat usage, and the implications of its return to battle alongside far superior Western MBTs like the German Leopard 2 and British Challenger 2.

The Putin Party

Randy Newman, “Putin” (2016) […] Dark Matter contained a re-recorded version of his Emmy award-winning song ‘It’s a Jungle Out There’, which was used as the theme song for the television series Monk. The album tells countless humorous tales. However, one of its most memorable cuts is the track ‘Putin’, which sees Newman sarcastically attack the Russian president.  The song pokes fun at Putin’s…

Last night, a major power substation on the grounds of the Russian Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant exploded. The plant is under the UralVagonZavod conglomerate, and serves as a key part of Russian armored vehicle production, handling T-72 platform engine manufacturing and overhaul.

The lack of modern optics limits Russia's ability to produce new tanks and restore the old ones it lost in the war with Ukraine. But the Russian armored industry lacks not only optics - the Russians have a catastrophic lack of ball bearings, which they received from the US and Europe before the introduction of sanctions - Forbes.

Among other things, Russian military operations also depend on trains as a mode of transport, which also use a lot of ball bearings. So the Russians have a choice: build more tanks or let the rail system fall apart.

"Historically, Russia imported most of its high-quality bearings from Western manufacturers. For example, in 2020, it imported ball bearings worth more than $419 million, about 55% of which were produced in Europe and North America,” CSIS analysts note.

The situation changed after Kyiv's allies strengthened sanctions against Moscow's strategic industries in February 2022. The outlook for the tank industry remains grim.

A new T-72BM3 or T-90M tank requires modern optics, and these optics usually came from France, but Paris deprived Russia of the necessary components - digital sights.

It is even more difficult for Moscow to solve the problem of ball bearings. "Uralvagonzavod" and "Omsktransmash", as before, are at a dead end due to their lack.

According to experts, the Russian military needs at least 150 new or refurbished tanks per month just to maintain its advanced strength on the battlefield.

Given the choice between building fewer tanks or freezing transport infrastructure across Russia, Moscow did the smart thing and chose the former.

As a result, "Uralvagonzavod" and "Omsktransmash" ship every month only a few dozen modern tanks, or restored, removed from preservation.

That is why, from a technical point of view, the Russians "travel in time" and restore old T-62s of the 1960s and old T-55s of the 1950s, which are in warehouses.

It’s hardly a secret that the country has been experiencing a shortage of locksmiths, welders, and turners for a very long time. And now Russia just doesn’t have enough workers to manufacture missiles and tanks for Putin’s war in Ukraine. 

Uralvagonzavod, the largest tank manufacturer in the country, failed to hire enough workers, even the unskilled, and has no choice but to use convicts to fill the gap. Hundreds of prisoners from a penal colony in the Sverdlovsk region will soon be sent to Uralvagonzavod.  

[…]

Since Putin’s plan to win a short military war in Ukraine has visibly failed, Russia is getting ready to wage a long and devastating war in Ukraine. To do so, it must adjust the economy to the new conditions and increase weapons production. Many military plants and manufacturers have been working around the clock for months now, but still cannot satisfy the growing demand without new supplies of workers. Russia’s prison population of 450,000 provides a potentially large number of unskilled workers.

Bubblegum Black mega-ish chapter notes: Chapters 9-12

Yes, that's right! If you only follow me through tumblr, you probably thought I was dead! But no, I just chose to hold off on my usual notes-post until I'd finished the ridiculously long and complicated battle between Hotel Moscow versus D-Company. So the notes will be for four fucking chapters now.

Also, for the record, I'm probably going to stop just posting these on tumblr, and start mirroring them to SpaceBattles or Sufficient Velocity. I mean, how many people have a tumblr account that will let them read all the way through? Not many, I imagine. Well, let's get into it.

CHAPTER 9

The OCs: So! New characters, hm? I don't think they'll be playing a major role in the fic for the most part, but once I figured that Balalaika would have experience operating a powersuit - not because of any particular reason beyond the assumption that they existed during the Kazakh conflict, and then that she needed a way to stand alongside the Sabers in mecha-fighting - then I thought it would be fun to have other suit operators that were Balalaika's comrades-in-arms and thus people the Sabers could fight alongside too. It helped me, in turn, figure out how to humanize Hotel Moscow just a bit, having these specific people with specific talents.

KB-43 Oktyabr: The predecessor to the ADP's K-suits, the Model 43 'Walking Armor' was drafted as a mechanized system in between World War 3 - when light power armor was used for individual infantry protection and lugging heavy equipment - and the Kazakh conflict. UralVagonZavod, the developers, were flush with Chinese money and talent, the alliance between China and Russia supposedly ironclad - the only problem was that Russians hated UVZ for their top-attack vulnerable tanks, the ones that were not so impressive in the Ukraine war and were even less impressive during the botched attacks on Finland and Poland. Building the first powersuits, then, was a last-ditch attempt to not have Russia's legendary tank-building house liquidated and folded into other parts of the Rostec state defense conglomerate. It worked. KB-suits might require more maintenance than other powersuits, might lack the versatility or strength of more modern K-suits, but they're a bit like AK rifles in that regard. They're just fucking everywhere. Also, they're literally just the Russian Arms Boris ACPA from Cyberpunk 2020:

KB-65 Nasyschat: 'Saturate' in Russian, appropriate for its light artillery capabilities. This is the Russian Arms Bombardier ACPA from Cyberpunk 2020. Note that in both armor's cases I've severely reduced the amount of weapons they carry. This can either be read as a concession to Hotel Moscow not having the logistical might of the old Russian army, or just acknowledging that the amount of weapons an ACPA can carry is fucking goofy. Most ACPA could squish even 2077 Adam Smasher with ease. It's wild.

GSh-30-V: The 30mm cannon the Boris uses in CP2020, but built by the KBP boys as a rifle (hence the V) patterned off old Gryazev-Shipunov autocannons. I'm sure that this realistically does not make sense. Eh.

KPV: 14.5mm machine gun. Note my joy in turning old Russian guns into powersuit weapons. Ha ha ha. hoo hoo hoo. hee hee hee.

Semi-auto incendiary-flechette shotgun: This, in retrospect, makes no sense. The ammo doesn't make sense and neither does the use of shotguns to take down armor. Well, what the hell. Once again, I blame Cyberpunk 2020's humongazoid 'borg / ACPA weapons, specifically the United Arms CLAW, a 4-gauge mag-fed autoshotgun. If anything I've toned that fucking monstrosity down a bit by making it semi-auto. Kinda like the KS-23, another Russian goofy-gun, now that I think about it.

Instrument Vzloma: Breaching instrument. Which is hardly an appropriate term for a man-sized axe wielded by a giant powersuit, but what the hell.

Balalaika's speech, getting inside Balalaika's head in general: I actually don't want to say much here; the speech, and her internal monologue, should speak for themselves.

Tou Chi The Blaster: Real Black Lagoon character, for those of you who don't know the manga / anime. Kinda one of a million loser gunmen with big attitudes and bigger addiction problems in Roanapur.

More Regrets: Considering how big the missiles are in IRL anti-ship missile boats, I think my image of almost a missile turret for the 2069 Black Lagoon is a smidge off. Obviously the boat's much bigger than an Elco, but its ordnance is much bigger too, right? Yeah. Well, what the hell. Sci-fi tech.

Rock's guns: The shotgun in question is an SASM-18, a futuristic retread of the mag-fed semi-auto SPAS-15, using a motorized cocking system to replace the pump-action switch for specialty rounds so one need only pull the trigger. Oh, and eight shells instead of six. As for the Type-37... I have plans for a detailed look at what's basically Rock's 'hero gun' going forward, even if said gun is somewhat impractical. But I kind of want to put them in an actual chapter instead of dumping them to the side here. So let's put a pin in that for now.

Lena meditating: I know I've said this before someplace, but I'll say it again: It's strange that 2032 Linna's prowess as a melee expert supposedly comes from her aerobics and dance training, and not just plain ol' martial arts. (and then 2040 Linna has no talents either way, but that's beside the point). I still think it'd be nifty if Lena had martial arts training, was still a vain materialistic yuppie but also good at keeping her body in tip-top shape through various techniques. Fuck, now I'm remembering a bit I read of Shawn Hagen's BGC Shadowrun crossover where she just got muscle grafts. How tasteless. And, again, yes, the Sabers are superheroes, of course they're going to rescue people soldiers would write off as dead.

Duhmin, and Roanapur's history: I like this bit of writing. But it explains itself, really. I rewrote the opening of this scene like three times, by the way.

CHAPTER 10

Marya Zaleska: One of Hotel Moscow's big cargo ships (presumably able to carry some weapons at some point) in canon.

Swimmer Rounds: Are apparently a real thing! I think if you look for the most recent Nammo ammunition catalogue you can find them somewhere in there. Wild shit.

Icewolf: So, here's some lore about how hacking works in this cyberpunk-y universe! The old internet was bricked by cyberweapons, not by Bartmoss, and now crude memetic organisms, evolving from those old pieces of software like microbes, are bred, learned from, weaponized for various purposes. In an age where computers are explicitly brain-structured (ie neuromorphic), it makes sense to go for biological metaphors, I think. Like... like Hacker Pokemon? Is that too trite?

Tardigrade: No, there is no prior fic where this type of Boomer showed up, but I really enjoy the idea of the Sabers having had enough adventures that a lot of things that show up in this fic don't necessarily surprise them all that much. Anyway, incoming miniboss encounter!

The Boomer / Powersuit: The thing Balalaika fights here is heavily inspired by the D.D. Mass Production Type, a scribble found in the B-Club and then in the BGC RPG EX book:

Weirdly enough, according to both the B-Club and the RPG, this was a never-seen design for a Battlemover, but I swear I've seen it in an establishing shot of GENOM Tower's entrance in OVA 6. I don't understand what's going on - is it the same thing? I want to believe it is.

47C Kappa Boomers: Not much to say about these. They're there.

CHAPTER 11

Oh boy oh boy oh boy: Rock finally killed someone himself! What fun! What excitement! I suppose it has to happen in every longer Black Lagoon fic. And I suppose Rock never gets to feel very good about it. And I suppose... what else? I think Revy's reaction was about right here. I really ought to chill on Depression!Rock for a bit, but that'll wait until the next arc.

KA-77: Basically the Russian version of the Bell V-280, the tiltrotor replacement for military helicopters, kitted out with gunship weapons. Fun fact: Tiltrotors don't actually have a worse safety record than helicopters. For a near-future sci-fi setting, they're a much more sensible new VTOL than vectored-thrust vehicles like the Harrier jumpjet or the AVs from Cyberpunk the franchise. Then again, BGC has those really cool-looking enclosed-fan 'aerodynes' the ADP use all the time, so that's an entirely different form of VTOL I didn't use...

Junayd Lakhani: The man himself! He's kind of a preening weenie! That's kind of the point! Also, yes, I resorted to an MGSV-style Fulton recovery system almost as a joke that became a real thing. I do not regret this.

CHAPTER 12

Honestly, I think I've got enough here. Things work out, they explain themselves, and I don't feel like writing extremely long notes for these chapters anymore. Let's just vibe, for now.

Russia accelerates manufacture of Su-57 Felon fighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 19/07/2023 - 16:00in Military

Russia plans to increase deliveries of fifth-generation fighters to its armed forces, said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

“It is planned to increase deliveries of fifth-generation fighters,” the head of the Russian government told a coordination council to meet the needs of the Russian armed forces on Tuesday.

He said that one of the board's priorities is to ensure that the state's purchase order is being implemented on time.

"For example, at the end of next month, aircraft manufacturers delivered another batch of new Su-35S aircraft to the ministry of defense. More aircraft are already being manufactured,” he added.

In addition, the prime minister added that Uralvagonzavod had already delivered its scheduled batch of T-90M Proryv and T-72BZM tanks.

"The company gained a considerable boost last year, more than tripling its production in the reported period. The armored vehicles they manufacture are particularly necessary to fulfill the tasks of the special military operation," he said.

The Su-57 (Felon by NATO classification) is a multifunctional fifth-generation Russian fighter designed to destroy all types of air, ground and surface targets. The aircraft has a supersonic cruising speed, intra-fuselage weapons, radio absorption equipment (a "stealth" technology), as well as the newest equipment on board. The intellectualization of the Su-57 systems allows them to assume part of the functions of the pilots, including piloting and preparation for the use of weapons.
