“On Sept 23, 2024, NORAD aircraft flew a safe and disciplined intercept of Russian Military Aircraft in the Alaska ADIZ. The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all – not what you’d see in a professional air force.” – Gen. Gregory Guillot

know it looks reckless, but it looks cool too
Yeah I agree, the last time something like this happened, Russia blamed them for it. I'll look for a response from Russia.

SpaceX delivers cosmonaut to orbit (VIDEO)
Russia’s Aleksandr Gorbunov has arrived at the International Space Station aboard Elon Musk’s Crew Dragon spacecraft
Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov has embarked on a five-month mission, arriving at the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Elon Musk’s Crew Dragon spacecraft.He is the fifth Russian to fly aboard a SpaceX ferry ship.
The Crew-9 mission, the ninth operational commercial crew mission for NASA, was launched by a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Saturday. TheCrew Dragon spacecraft, which also carried US astronaut Nick Hague, reached its intended orbitand docked autonomously to the ISSon Sunday afternoon. NASA streamed live footage of the docking online.
Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, commented on the docking with a brief post on X: “Dragon has reached @Space_Station.”
Gorbunov, from Russia’s state space agency (Roscosmos), is on his first mission and will serve as a flight engineer.
Gorbunov and Hague will stay aboard the orbiting laboratory for five months. They have joined the space station’s Expedition 72 crew of Roscosmos cosmonauts Aleksandr Grebenkin, Aleksey Ovchinin, and Ivan Vagner, as well as NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Don Pettit, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams.
Gorbunov and Haguewill return to Earth in February along with Wilmore and Williams, who have been stuck on the ISS since June. The two arrived for a weeklong test mission aboard a Boeing Starliner aircraft. However, the Starliner suffered technical issues and flew home empty in early September.
Crew-8 members Barratt, Dominick, Epps, and Grebenkin will depart the space station aboard the Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft in early October.
Roscosmos and NASA have a cross-flight program that is valid until at least 2025. The program, launched in 2022 and extended the following year, involves sending one American astronaut to the ISS as part of the crew of a Russian spacecraft, and one Russian cosmonaut as part of an American crew.
According to Roscosmos, Gorbunov is the 25th Russian cosmonaut to fly on an American ship, and the fifth to fly on a Crew Dragon.

The comments under the article are funny, sounds exactly like anons:
Nkam: Biden must be sent to space to learn how to hug a Russian.
46BiolabsNice suit. Like an old low budget sci-fi. Quite fitting for the "made in a Hollywood basement" quote.
Rabelais: When is Musk going to Mars ? CAPRICORN ONE….. All Hollywood studios are booked for the event…Who will shoot the Mars landing directly from Hollywood ?
Gustavo Mendoza: Orbit is as far as we can go, everything else is a fairytale and a farce.
D_Banner: Gustavo Mendoza, The moon is in orbit ;) Does that count ?
Did that pilot say:Holy FuckHow can they not be aware of aircraft nearby, don't they have a monitoring system?
or last year or so a multi billion jet lost or crashed because the pilots were assholes, no report and what happened. Do you guys remember that. Bidan immediately destroyed the military, because Trump was proud of it, but they also intentionally lowering standards so 60%+ are overnight with some of chronic problem.

Congress orders probe into ‘intentional’ construction flaws in Navy vessels
A shipbuilder’s report earlier discovered “faulty welding” on several US submarines and aircraft carriers
US lawmakers have ordered a probe intoreports of substandard welding “knowingly made” on submarines and aircraft carriers, both under construction and in-service within the US Navy. In a statement released on Friday, the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) charged the Pentagon with investigating the matter and coming up with a plan for “how to protect” Navy vessels against further “tampering.”
The HASC’s move follows last week’s report byNewport News Shipbuilding, which said it discovered faulty welds on components of several in-service Navy vessels. The company is one of two nuclear shipyards in the US that construct Ford-class aircraft carriers, sections of Virginia-class attack submarines, and Columbia-class nuclear ballistic missile submarines.
According to USNI news,the shipyard also said it found that the flaws “may have been made intentionally,” and submitted its report to the Navy, the Department of Justice, and Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), the company that owns it and the country’s largest military shipbuilder.

The issue subsequently drew attention from Congress, with the HASC expressing concern as itinvolves vessels “critical” to national security.
“It is deeply concerning to learn that faulty welds may have been knowingly made to US Navy submarines and aircraft carriers… We must ensure that these vessels are protected against any bad actors seeking to put US national security or our service members at risk,” the committee said in its statement.
HII, which is currently inspecting Newport News’ findings, latersaid it discovered that “some welders knowingly circumvented certain welding procedures,” but claimed that they found “no indication of malicious intent.”(That’s bullshit, it’s malicious intent to endanger the crew and ship. They're saying well he didn't mean to do it, it wasn't by accident assholes.)
The Navy acknowledged that it was aware of the problem in a statement on Thursday, saying it was conducting “a thorough evaluation to determine the scope” of the ships affected. A Pentagon source later told USNI News that the number of in-serviceVirginia-class subs that have faulty welding is in the “low single digits,” but it may take some time to determine how many other vessels, both in-service and under construction, have the problem.
It is not clear when the initial faulty work was discovered, nor what penalties await the welders and the shipyard following the probe.
Newport News Shipbuilding hasalready faced investigations over welding procedures twice, in 2007 and 2009. One of the probes triggered an inspection that lasted nearly a decade, according to media reports.

Putin launches regular conscription drive
Those drafted will not be involved in the Ukraine operation, according to the Russian military
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree launching the country’s annual autumn conscription drive.Some 133,000 military-age men are set to be enlisted between October 1 and December 31.
The terms of conscription service in Russia remain unchanged, with new draftees set to serve for a period of 12 months, deputy head of the Russian military’s main enlistment directorate, Vice Admiral Vladimir Tsymlansky told a media briefing on Monday. Service is mandatory in Russia for men aged between 18 and 30.
Roughly a third of the draftees will be sent to military educational facilities and training units, entering active duty only after obtaining a military occupational specialty, the official stated.The draftees will not be sent to participate in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Tsymlansky noted.
“I would like to emphasize that conscripted military personnel will not be called upon to participate in the tasks of the special military operation in the new regions,” Tsymlansky stated, referring to the formerly Ukrainian Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions.
Recruits will be informed through conventional paper enlistment notices delivered in person or through the mail, Tsymlansky noted. Last year, Russia conceived a system of digital enlistment notices that will be distributed through the government’s digital platform Gosuslugi.
The new system will undergo limited testing this year, with notices distributed through such means only in three regions, the head of the State Duma’s defense committee, Andrey Kartapolov, said last week.
While the system is expected to go fully online in 2025, some of its elements are already operational. For instance, draftees will now be able to lodge complaints and challenge decisions of enlistment offices through Gosuslugi.

Putin just announced Russia’s own Monroe Doctrine 1/2
The President has cleared up any ambiguity about how Moscow will respond to any new threats in its backyard
On September 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced updates to the Foundations of State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Area of Nuclear Deterrence. The revised document implies that under certain conditions, Moscow may consider a proxy war against itself as justification for using nuclear weapons.
Salami tactics
Traditional nuclear deterrence doctrines date back to the Cold War and were developed with major world powers and military alliances in mind. The underlying assumption is that large states are unlikely to attack a nuclear power, since they risk facing a massive retaliatory strike.
However, the conflict in Ukraine has created a new and unprecedented reality: The West is waging war against Russia through a proxy state that shows little regard for its own self-preservation. At least under the grip of its current leadership.
Kiev actively attacks Russia’s historic territories. Incidents that have happened “for the first time since World War Two” are regularly reported in the news: e.g., a regional center being shelled in Russia, military facilities attacked in Volga Region or in the Kuban, or German-made tanks crossing into Kursk Region.
There have also been rumors of attacks on sites of Russia’s strategic nuclear forces. Such aggression is officially recognized as triggers for a nuclear response. Whether or not these rumors are true, thisbehavior is perfectly in line with the logic of Kiev and its Western sponsors. The goal is to use isolated drone strikes conducted by a proxy force to undermine Russia’s nuclear doctrine – or, speaking in IT terms, to hack it by means of a ‘zero-day exploit’.
After all, would Putin really start a nuclear war over one drone crashing near a strategic bomber base? What about two drones? Or ten? Or perhaps a couple of drones combined with a Western-made cruise missile?
This exemplifies classic ‘salami slicing tactics’: gradually pressuring the opponent, forcing them to change their strategic position without providing sufficient grounds for the opponent to deploy their primary (in Russia’s case – nuclear) forces.
Staying behind the lines
The only real red line between Russia and the West – and specifically, between Moscow and Washington – is something that would force one side to dramatically escalate the conflict.
Both the Kremlin and the White House are currently adhering to the so-called limited war strategy. Why? Because Russia can’t afford to shoot itself in the head because of Ukraine, and in a similar way, the West doesn’t want to blow itself up because of Russia. Any dramatic escalation could result in such an outcome, making the situation unpredictable even without the use of nuclear weapons.
Neither Russia nor the US desires an escalation in the conflict. Rather, both are aiming to keep it within its current boundaries. It’s like in the fable about the snake and the turtle: if one side makes a sudden move, the other is forced to respond, which could lead to dire consequences. For Russia, an escalation means mobilizing all resources, a situation that is fraught with peril for the nation. For the West, escalation means directly intervening, with no guarantee of success and a high risk of heavy losses or even a nuclear exchange.
For now, Russia has imposed a war of attrition on its adversary. Clearly, the Kremlin believes that this strategy has a better chance of working out
The US seems to understand this and wants to disrupt the Kremlin’s plan by increasing the costs but keeping everything within its present boundaries. This is why it resorts to so-called salami tactics.

2/2
Some experts believe that the ban on long-range missile strikes deep into Russian territory is the only real agreement that exists between Putin and [US President Joe] Biden. It’s not that such strikes would significantly change things, but this serves as a benchmark, a point of reference that is more or less understandable to both sides.
If you try to destroy us by means of a proxy force, we will destroy both the proxy and you
However, changes are about to happen in the White House. If the aforementioned agreements indeed exist, the Kremlin cannot be certain that the next administration will adhere to them. This is why Russia needed to send a clear signal to the West (and to the whole world) about the current situation and how Russia will respond to various actions taken by the West.
Firstly, Moscow will not consider using nuclear weapons as long as it maintains the military initiative. Thusthe likelihood of using nuclear weapons depends on its military success: if victory isn’t possible by conventional means, a nuclear strike becomes an option.
Secondly, because of this, Russia’s primary opponent (the US) cannot wage war against Russia directly and cannot arm the proxy state to such an extent as would change the course of the conflict. Therefore, the US must stay on the sidelines, watching as its proxy gradually loses the war. In this regard, nuclear deterrence is currently effective against the US and the West, at least until the administration in Washington changes. Putin’s new doctrine serves as a message and a warning to Biden’s successor.
Thirdly, the proxy state (Ukraine) is trying to find Russia’s weak spots and inflict a painful blow. As the situation on the front worsens for the Ukrainian forces, they may resort to more desperate measures, such as launching attacks on strategic missile deployment sites. These actions could potentially be effective. Will this provoke a nuclear response from Russia? Almost certainly not. The Kremlin is not considering a nuclear attack on Ukraine.
Why not? Because Ukraine does not pose a significant enough threat to justify starting a nuclear war. Russia can handle Ukraine through conventional means of warfare. And even though some incidents may be quite painful, they don’t change this reality.
Overall, Putin’s doctrine can be summarized as follows:
Fight weaker opponents with conventional forcesand use nuclear deterrence to prevent major powers from intervening in ways that could turn these weaker opponents into serious threats.
Or, put simply: Russia will ensure its security as it sees fit, using the nuclear shield to deter anyone who might try to interfere.
• Meanwhile, Ukraine serves as a vivid example of the fate that will befall any nation that wages war against Russia: it will be devastated, its industry and infrastructure will be destroyed, and it will suffer a demographic and economic collapse; as for the West, it will offer empty words of support, but in practice will push its proxy into the abyss.
• One of the outcomes of Russia’s military operation should be a growing awareness among neighboring countries that looking for a fight with Moscow is a bad idea, and that NATO won’t be able to protect them.
• Furthermore, the West must recognize that by inciting Russia’s neighbors to wage war against it, it risks prompting a nuclear war.
That is an approach James Monroe would certainly have approved of.
