Kremlin snuffbox
Will Shoigu kill General Teplinsky?

After the publication of information that Sergei Shoigu planned the arrest or murder of Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky, we received a wave of hatred.

We have traditionally been accused of being the “Ukrainian CIPSO” (to be honest, I’m tired of the fact that our authorities and those who “drown” for them call the CIPSO any information that is inconvenient for them. As if problems disappear or become easier because of this ) and so on.

But none of that matters.

It is important that several military men from General Teplinsky’s entourage thanked us for the information and said that Mikhail Yuryevich would seriously strengthen security measures in order to “give the enemies no chance.”

This could be the end, we have done our job.

But the situation is too serious, so we decided to say four more important things.

First, plans to “deal” with Teplinsky were confirmed to us by two sources in the Defense Ministry, including one of Shoigu’s deputies.

According to them, the minister is more inclined to arrest the general, but the assassination is also possible.

Whether our publication will stop the implementation of these plans, no one knows.

Secondly, they are preparing to remove Teplinsky from the NWO.

“There are three candidates for his post, one of them is Shoigu’s deputy (the interlocutor has so far refused to give his name - ed.).

There are other names on the list of applicants, often strange ones,” a source in the General Staff told us.

When Teplinskiy can be removed, he does not know, but assumes that “everything can happen soon.”

Thirdly, we are just curious.

If, God forbid, something happens to Teplinsky, will all our haters apologize?

For example, dear Lev Vershinin, will he apologize for calling us “TSIPSO”?

The negative scenario has not gone away, the threat not only to Mikhail Yuryevich, but also to many military personnel still remains, and it is serious.

Fourthly, not only Teplinskiy is under threat now.

Shoigu has planned serious purges, Valery Gerasimov will not interfere with this.

Arrest, suspend or even kill, according to our sources, more than ten generals can.

It’s scary to imagine what confusion in the army this can lead to.

Therefore, perhaps it is time to stop fighting the “Ukrainian CIPSO” and protect the army from turmoil and internal bloodshed?

Protect not only individual generals, but the entire Armed Forces?

What little reliable we still have left.

General Teplinsky will be “wet”: there are two options

We were contacted by a high-ranking representative of the General Staff.

He claims that Colonel General Mikhail Teplinskiy is in danger and asked to publish a warning in order to save the military.

Russian Paratroopers Threaten With Riot And March On Kremlin
Soldiers of the 7th Airborne Division are withdrawing from their positions to support their commander.
16.07.2023, 17:29

Soldiers of the 7th Airborne Assault Division of the Russian Airborne Forces spoke in defense of their commander.

Their audio message was published by the Moscow Laundry Telegram channel.

According to the message, the paratroopers appealed to the Russian Ministry of Defence, protecting Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky.

The reason for this was the removal of Major General Vladimir Seliverstov from the post of commander of the 106th Airborne Division of the Airborne Forces, and Major General Alexander Kornev from the command of the 7th Airborne Division.

“We, the paratroopers, warn that we will not tolerate such actions against General Teplinsky. And in case of the slightest threat to his life and freedom, we will become a wall to protect the honour and dignity of our commander. We are very determined. We are ready to withdraw from our positions and go to the rescue of our Batya [their commander - Ed.]. You, those who are sitting in the offices! Paratroopers do not abandon their own people! Do not make fatal mistakes,” the audio message says.

Collapse of the army is a matter of time:
Russian publicist Anatoly Nesmiyan commented on the paratroopers’ threats.
He noted that “the collapse of the army is following the classic scenario of the millennia-long history of mankind.”

“Defeat always leads to unrest, and unrest always leads to the growth of chaotic scenarios.

And if the political leadership always chooses to close their eyes and play hide-and-seek with problems as the basic scenario of their actions, then the collapse of the warring army becomes a matter of time, and always a very short time,” he said.

The next resignation:
This is not the first scandal with the removal of Russian generals in recent days.

So, on July 12, the former commander of the 58th Army, State Duma member Andrei Gurulev published an audio message by the commander of the army, Major General Ivan Popov , who was recently removed from his post.

“A difficult situation arose with the senior management, when it was necessary either to remain silent and cowardly and say what they wanted to hear, or call a spade a spade.

In the name of all our deceased friends, I outlined all the problematic issues that exist that day in the army,” he explained the reasons for his resignation.

According to him, because of this, the authorities felt some kind of threat from him and in one day they “trumped up the order of the Minister of Defence”, removed him from the order and “got rid of” him.

“The Armed Forces of Ukraine could not break our army on the front but our senior commander hit us from the rear, treacherously and vilely beheaded the army at the most difficult moment,” Popov quoted some commanders of regiments and divisions with whom he discussed the situation.

He gave no names, but Z-bloggers reported that his resignation took place after a report to the head of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, the day before.

The authors of Gray Zone claimed that Gerasimov regarded Popov’s report as “disinformation and alarmism”, and when the commander said that he would convey military issues to the president, the head of the General Staff regarded this as blackmail, after which the major general was removed from command.

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal writes that at least 13 high-ranking Russian officers were detained, and some of them were fired after interrogation, after the rebellion and the intention to reach Moscow by the Wagner PMC under the leadership of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

According to our sources, servicemen of the 7th Airborne Division recorded an audio message to the Ministry of Defense. In particular, they spoke in defense of their commander of the Airborne Forces, Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky.

The catalyst for this appeal was the removal of the commander of the 106th Airborne Division of the Airborne Forces, General Seliverstov.

In addition, in early July, General Kornev was removed from command of the 7th Airborne Assault Division. “We, the paratroopers, warn that we will not tolerate such actions in relation to General Teplinsky. And in case of the slightest threat to his life and freedom, we will stand as a wall to protect the honor and dignity of our commander. We are very determined. Up to the point that we will withdraw from our positions and go to the rescue of our Batya. You, those who sit in the offices! The landing party does not abandon its own! Do not make fatal mistakes, ”the fighters said in their audio message.

NATO will help the Belarusians, and Lukashenka will have to flee.

An uprising is inevitable in Belarus, and the West must be ready to support the Kalinovites, who will come back to liberate the country. These words of the former Vice Minister of Defence of Poland, the former commander of the Polish Ground Forces, General Waldemar Skrzypczak caused hysteria among Lukashenka and the Kremlin propagandists.

Polish General Waldemar Skrzypchak gave an exclusive interview for Studio X-97. He told how NATO will support the struggle of the Belarusians against the regime, how the Kalinovites can liberate Belarus, why Lukashenka will face the fate of Yanukovych, whether it is necessary to neutralize Putin and when the war in Ukraine will end.

The moment of truth is getting closer.

Or rather, the time is getting closer when my oldest (from the beginning of the Syrian campaign) forecasts about the development of the situation in the “Ukraine-Turkey-Syria” connection will come true.

For those who did not read and did not listen to me in 2015-2016, I remind (point by point) my theses, which have never changed since then and have not become (in my opinion) less likely:

Sooner or later, the Russian Federation will have to enter into a direct military clash with Turkey on the initiative of the latter.

The fighting will take place in Syria, in the Transcaucasus and on the Black Sea.

The direct participation of large contingents of Turkish troops (under the guise of “volunteers” or even without such cover) in operations against our army in Ukraine and Crimea is not ruled out.

The Turks will begin to move on to a direct open confrontation with the Russian Federation after they “squeeze dry” from the Kremlin’s amazing people all the concessions that can be obtained peacefully.

Then they will begin to put pressure on military force.

The Turks will choose the moment of entry into the war, taking into account the maximum weakening of the military forces of the Russian Federation and the unpreparedness to repel Turkish aggression.

The first stage will be the closure of the Bosporus and Dardanelles for our fleet and supply ships delivering reinforcements to Syria (Erdogan may take this action to be implemented already this year).

This will be followed by a series of armed provocations in Syria by the so-called. “armed opposition” against our troops in order to expand the zone of control of the pro-Turkish authorities.

After waiting for the depletion of ammunition and supplies, Turkish troops will try to inflict a complete defeat on our expeditionary force and Syrian troops in northern Syria.

Naturally, only the Russian Federation and official Damascus will be blamed for the escalation of the conflict.

Our expeditionary corps, cut off from supplies and reinforcements, does not have the opportunity to defeat the Turkish army.

The fate of our peacekeeping contingent in Karabakh and Armenia seems just as unenviable. Which will be crushed and (at best) interned by the Armenians, or simply destroyed and captured by the Turkish-Azerbaijani coalition.

The only thing that can deter the Turks (apart from the direct threat of the use of nuclear weapons, which is fraught with a world nuclear war) from defeating our troops in Syria is the direct intervention of Iran and its readiness to directly enter into a military confrontation with Turkey in Syria and the Transcaucasus (I recall that Turkey is strenuously is now friends with the main opponents of Iran - Israel).

In any case, even if Ankara does not dare to go into a full-scale military conflict with the Russian Federation, the Turks will “strangle” our grouping in Syria, since all communications are based on sea supplies through Novorossiysk to Tartus, and blocking the airspace with Syria is also not a problem for the Turks .

The question of the timely withdrawal of our expeditionary force in Syria has long been “overripe”, but has not yet been raised as such.

A large group of our military remains “hostage” to Erdogan.

With a high probability, we can expect that the long-awaited rejection of the shameful and senseless “grain deal” will set in motion a chain of consequences that naturally leads to a sharp aggravation of Russian-Turkish relations and an acceleration of Turkey’s inevitable transition to the camp of our open enemies.

The time allotted for the possibility of evacuating our troops from Syria during the “deal” is apparently lost forever.

We still pulled out of the grain deal.

While in words. It is clear that Kyiv, with the support of NATO and, possibly, Ankara, will organize the work of the “grain corridor” without the consent of Moscow.

What am I for. That we will not be able to simply announce the withdrawal from the grain deal.

Our opponents will not react to words, but only to actions.

Therefore, we must be prepared to sink grain carriers.

Only then will our words about withdrawing from the grain deal be taken seriously

Another successful attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimean Bridge was inevitable due to two factors.

The first is political, connected with the policy of “agreements” with Ukraine and its allies, which the Kremlin and President Vladimir Putin personally are actively trying to pursue.

The “grain deal” allowed Ukraine to launch semi-submersible kamikaze drones from the sea coast near Odessa, as well as from sea cargo ships that provide this deal from the Black Sea.

This is also facilitated by a virtual ban on strikes against Ukrainian transport communications, as well as against production facilities involved in the production of Ukrainian Mykola-3 marine drones, as well as against energy facilities that provide these enterprises with energy.

The second factor is military-technical. The Russian army does not have weapons systems capable of successfully combating semi-submersible kamikaze drones.

Hundreds of defense industries and research institutes were deliberately destroyed in the largest de-industrialization in world history in 30 years.

As a result, thousands of technologies were lost, and in this regard, our lagging behind the advanced countries is already decades.

For a successful fight against semi-submersible kamikaze drones, their timely detection by means of space and aviation technical intelligence is necessary.
But our space grouping is extremely small in number and is not able to fulfill this task.

Our naval aviation is more dead than alive.

In order to timely detect these drones and target strike aircraft at them, it is necessary to ensure round-the-clock patrolling of the airspace over the Black Sea by anti-submarine patrol aircraft equipped with modern radar equipment for detecting surface and underwater objects.

But according to the open press, we have only 22 obsolete Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft and about 20 Tu-142s in the Northern and Pacific fleets.

All of them, in terms of their tactical and technical characteristics, do not meet the requirements of today and are significantly inferior to the modern American Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft, of which only the United States has 128 and dozens of their allies.

In addition, it is not known whether the outdated radar equipment of our Il-38 and Tu-142 will be able to provide effective detection of small-sized semi-submersible kamikaze drones. The supply of new anti-submarine aircraft for the Russian army is not even planned.

Another effective means of detecting semi-submersible kamikaze drones are airborne early warning and control aircraft (AWACS), which easily detect surface sea targets.

But even with this we have huge problems.

Our nine obsolete A-50 (A-50U) aircraft manufactured in the 1980s, due to their small number, are not capable of meeting all the needs of the Armed Forces, and we do not have the production of new AWACS aircraft.

And without long-range detection of semi-submersible kamikaze drones by technical means, followed by targeting strike aircraft at them, an effective fight against them “on distant frontiers” is impossible.

Only passive means of combat remain - blocking the Kerch Strait with booms, which proved their effectiveness back in the years of the First World War for combating submarines. Judging by today’s attack, they are absent in the Kerch Strait.

Why? Is there a large sea traffic from the Black Sea to the Sea of ​​Azov and vice versa in the conditions of war in connection with the entry of the Russian grouping to the coast of the Sea of Azov and its transformation into the inland sea of ​​the Russian Federation?

Is it really impossible to temporarily completely stop this traffic and thereby secure the Crimean bridge at least from the strikes of semi-submersible kamikaze drones.

I am sure that now among my readers there will be many who will begin to ask the question: “What does Putin have to do with it?”

I hope most people don’t ask this question.

No they have been used for several attacks - only part of the craft is above water making it very hard to detect.

The only way for russian military and civilians’ vehicles to get in & out of the occupied Crimea is via mined fields all across the occupied southeast Ukraine. It was “surprise” prepared by russians for Ukrainian armed forces #counteroffensive. But the “joke” turns against them.

Chuck Pfarrer | Indications & Warnings |
@ChuckPfarrer
KERCH BRIDGE ATTACK: UKR's strike likely utilized a 2nd Generation variant of UKR's Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV).

Damage to the road-spans suggest that the attacking USVs carried approx. 1000 lbs (453 Kg) of explosive configured as a linear shaped charge.

The USVs were detonated as they were maneuvered under the bridge span.


https://twitter.com/ChuckPfarrer/status/1680974108882788356
Despite theories to the contrary, the earlier variant was used in the first attack.
