“Hellish Sanctions”: Russia Strikes Back – Free Press
Russia harnesses for a long time, but quickly gallops. It’s time for the West to learn this proverb, another decision is coming to send weapons to Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry has warned several times that it will liquidate convoys with NATO and tougher economic pressure.
And now, finally, it began to translate the “proposal for good” into reality.
Russia has deprived pathogens of microwave weapons
Foreign Secretary Sergei Lavrov As early as March 18, it was officially announced that the columns transported to Ukraine with heavy use are a legitimate target for Russian strikes. The NATO leadership did not heed unambiguous threats.
And after Lavrov’s statement, the Russian army suffered more than twenty missile and bomb attacks on NATO echelons on the territory of Ukraine, calculated by Free Press based on statistics from the Ministry of Defense.
In addition to military strikes, Russia is challenging and challenging. On April 3, Roskosmos will arrive with unfriendly countries of Russia, which will be accepted for Ukraine. This means, in particular, that the American Atlas V rocket has lost its engines – it is equipped with the Russian RD-180, the alarming edition of Reuters.
Atlas V rockets represent the American company United Launch Alliance, which was established by Lockheed Martin and Boeing. With rockets for satellite communications, not only for private companies (such as Amazon), but also for NASA and the US Department of Defense, writes Reuters.
A total of 24 Atlas V launches with military satellites were made. In 2020, a rocket launched an experimental Boeing X-37 aircraft into orbit, which was equipped with equipment for absorbing energy in microwaves.
The US Department of Defense said such experiments are necessary for the investigation. In fact, we are talking about actual research on microwave weapons that can be detected at a distance from the construction of a communications and surveillance system. It is obvious that the Americans were collecting such industrial metals against Russia. And Russia, having stopped deliveries of rocket engines, made it impossible to get new weapons ahead of time.
Poland and Bulgaria have already paid for Russophobia
Russia is inflicting a preventive strike on the West not only in the rocket and space industry.
On April 26, an embargo was introduced on the supply of Russian pipeline gas to Poland and Bulgaria. They were found by the gas companies Bulgargaz and PGNiG refused to pay for Russian gas in rubles, as required by Moscow.
Bulgaria and Poland are almost completely tracking Russian gas elections, which expire at the end of 2022. Both countries do not consume gas: in Poland, for example, underground gas storages are delayed by 75%, but within a few months, of course, they will be completely empty. In addition, Poland announced that the construction of the 900-kilometer Baltic pipeline to Norway will be completed in the near future, which will someday come in about the country’s need for gas.
Bulgargaz, on the other hand, presumptuously announced that it intends to receive alternative gas supplies from 12 traders currently operating in the market both in Bulgaria and in making a profit, SeeNews reports.
Other European countries, fearing a repeat of the unenviable fate of Poland and Bulgaria, prefer to pay Russia for gas in rubles. Even the European Commission admitted that the two-stage payment procedure (with conversion between rubles through an account with Gazprombank) does not contradict the sanctions regime.
Germany faces a dilemma: if there are howitzers, there will be no industry
In stock, Russia still has several more pressure sensors for the western part – this, for example, is the limit of the danger of titanium, neon, palladium.
Russia accounts for a quarter of the European shares of titanium owned by the state corporation VSMPO-Avisma. Titanium alloys have a high strength to weight ratio. They are commonly used in structures such as aircraft hulls and frames.
High-temperature titanium alloys are used to make blades, discs and other engine parts, writes Simple Flying. There is simply no alternative to Russian titanium: it comes to 300 enterprises in 50 countries around the world, Simple Flying writes.
Russian titanium buys all the major aircraft corporations on the planet, such as Airbus, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Embraer, Pratt & Whitney, Safran and many others. At present, Russia can also reveal a crushing blow to unfriendly countries, ban the export of rare earth metals – palladium, nickel, copper, chromium, cadmium. It is possible that nickel steel is used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. Palladium, on the other hand, is vital to automakers as it is a key ingredient in the production of catalytic converters.
One of the largest representatives of Russian metals is Germany, writing the German media. The Bundestag must keep this critical dependency in mind when deciding whether to send howitzers to the Ukrainian military.
Russian exporters, of course, suffer from the direction of the embargo, but they are quickly entering new markets in Asia. But for the German industry to find a supplier is almost impossible.
