Largest NATO Exercises Since Cold War: Pentagon Freaks Out Over Russian Missile Superiority
This fall, large-scale NATO military exercises will be held in Europe. According to the Commandant of the US Marine Corps, Robert Neller, it will be the largest exercise since the Cold War. About 45,000 servicemembers will participate. Meanwhile, the Pentagon says that US mission shields cannot withstand Russia's nuclear arsenal.
Vladimir Putin spoke about the new prototypes in his speech at the general assembly.
Anton Podkovenko will talk about these weapons, which have no analogues in the world at the moment.
The National Defense Operations Center monitors the latest defense procurement. The delivery, the unloading, and even the assembly of the modules are being controlled online. The monitors show the industrial shops where new samples of Russian armaments are created.
Bogdan Dikanyov, National Defense Operations Center: "In compliance with information-sharing requirements, our unit monitors the day-to-day operations of the site's deployment, all within the recommended framework of the development process of the Sarmat system".
"Sarmat is more terrifying than Satan". That's what western newspapers write about this missile as they compare it to our previous breakthrough. It is a heavy intercontinental ballistic missile with MIRV capabilities. It can also bypass the sound barrier. The industrial base for Sarmat's mass production is being assembled at the Krasnoyarsk machine factory.
Aleksandr Gavrilov, AGM of the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant: "We're in the Krasnoyarsk machine factory's main assembly shop. Here's the multi-purpose coating chamber, where robotics are used".
Sterile cleanliness and shiny metal surfaces. Russia's 21st century military industry allowed for the development of weapons that have no analogues, allowing complete parity with the US in negotiations. The US is trying to come up with a plan where they can attack, but can't be attacked. To respond to a possible attack, we started working on it right after Washington unilaterally withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
Sergey Shoygu, Russia's Defense Minister: "The Commander-in-Chief gave a positive assessment of the work on directing and strengthening the Armed Forces and improving the country's defensive capabilities. He's noted that today, Russia has a modern, compact, and hi-tech military. The President has introduced a series of the latest military breakthroughs. He said that some equipment has already been delivered to the troops. I want to emphasize that all the equipment will be manufactured within the terms of government-issued contracts".
This nuclear-power-plant-powered missile has unlimited range, and it can maneuver in a limitless number of ways as it bypasses obstacles.
The Avangard glider is able to reach supersonic speeds after re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. Underwater submarine drones.
The Kinzhal (Dagger) surface-to-air missile system, also supersonic.
Combat lasers that, according to the President, largely increase our armed forces' capabilities.
And, Sarmat.
The State Department and Europe, Germany in particular, speak of alleged violations of international agreements.
Maria Zakharova, Russia's MFA: "To our German colleagues: please specify which international agreements regarding arms control have been violated by Russia. What exactly do you mean? What proof does Berlin have and why hasn't it been submitted to Russia? The State Department has mentioned the IRNF Treaty, which bans countries from creating and deploying land-based missiles with a range of 500-5,500 km. But, the President's speech didn't even mention such weapons."
The missile shield umbrella over the US and their controlled territories — Alaska, Romania, and Poland, along with their air and naval forces which use missile shield systems—are no longer relevant. It's been proven that the Sarmat can't be stopped by any existing or potential missile shields.
Aleksandr Gavrilov: "Sarmat is a completely revolutionary system. Its production process is within the terms of the government defense procurement agreement. It's under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Defense and Roskosmos".
Russia's technological breakthrough is due to the inability of the US and its allies to agree on critical issues of international security. From our point of view, this isn't aggression, but a response to others' aggression. Now is the time for negotiations, which will allow us to discuss the new reality of a multipolar world.
