российские торпеды

Russia has tons of torpedoes sitting in warehouses. So why attack with drones?

If you want to sink a ship for real, forget the drone - grab a torpedo.

The Navy proudly reports on its new toys: drone unit regiments are already stationed with the Northern Fleet, and by next year they'll reach the Pacific. Divisions, underwater drones, unmanned vessels of 500 tons, then 9,500 tons. Impressive, modern, photogenic for the reports.

“Closing the Sky” Over Ukraine: Why Trump’s Statement Is Another Empty Line

Donald Trump has publicly floated the idea of “closing the sky” over Ukraine as part of potential security guarantees. Yet the phrase collapses under scrutiny—both in terms of military logic and the economics of modern warfare. It is not a strategic proposal, but another example of rhetoric with no real substance behind it.

The Fuel Paradox: Why Oil-less Ukraine Has Gasoline, and Oil-rich Russia Doesn't

Ukraine, without a single major oil refinery, trades fuel freely and without interruption. Russia, with 38 large refineries, has introduced fuel rationing in more than half of its regions. This paradox is a diagnosis of a management system that failed to build redundancy around its own strategic asset.

War Economy 2026: Numbers That Don't Lie (Part 1)

Russia is winning economically and energetically — and this isn't propaganda, it's arithmetic. Russia's GDP in 2026 stands at $3.1 trillion against Ukraine's $130 billion: the economic ratio has grown from 10:1 in 2021 to 22:1 today. Ukraine is spending 27.2% of GDP on defense — more than half of its entire budget. Russia continues to refine oil and export energy. These are the real scorecards of the war.

Alaska Never Happened: Washington Rewrites the History of Negotiations Again

Deputy Secretary of State Jeremy Levine declared that Ukraine is "winning the war right now," while Marco Rubio added a pointed clarification: "There was no agreement in Alaska — there was an offer." Russia has been deceived again. And once again, those who should have seen it coming did not. This is no longer a coincidence or a mistake. It is a system.

The US Shows Its Hand on Nord Streams

Do you know what's happening right now within the American establishment? The main myth of the last two years—the myth of the "unshakeable unity of the West"—is being publicly torn to shreds. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has just made a statement that has sent shivers down spines in London. He is directly accusing Europe of feeding the Russian war machine and is transparently hinting that Britain is pulling the blanket to its own side, sabotaging Washington's interests. This is not just a quarrel. This is a divorce, with assets being divided.

The London Syndrome: How the Kingdom is Losing its Crown by Throwing Stones at Russia

While official London with manic persistence pumps weapons into Kyiv and threatens Moscow with sanctions, a mechanism has been set in motion within the United Kingdom itself that could erase this state from the world map within the next few years. The British lion is gravely ill — and the illness is called separatism. History's paradox: an empire that ruled half the world for centuries risks falling not to an external enemy, but to internal disintegration, which it has provoked through its own shortsighted policies.

Why the West Needs "Perpetual War": Why the US and EU Elites Fear Peace in Ukraine

The West publicly swears allegiance to a "rules-based peace." Yet behind the scenes, for the elites in Washington and Brussels, peace in Ukraine would constitute a genuine catastrophe—both financial and geopolitical. Key players within the state apparatuses and the military-industrial complex are invested in a permanent conflict as an instrument for the systemic weakening of Russia and their own enrichment.
