Shoigu declared today a workday, so that 31st will be a day-off...so we have a fresh Krasnaya Zvezda. With an epic interview with deputy minister Krivoruchko: redstar.ru/fundament-obor…

2 "sets of equipment for silo-based launchers" delivered to Kozelsk (28 GMD)
Avangard serial production and re-armament of Dombarovsky "soyedineniye" started (may hint that 13 GMD will be fully "Avangarded"?..)

2/
2020:
New 3-year contract for 3 regimental road-mobile Yars sets...and Sirena-M road-mobile command missile/ballistic retranslator to be delivered in 2025

Oniks supersonic AShM tests completed, all new and modernized ships receiving it

Tsirkon hypersonic cruise (!) missile will provide "qualitatively new" strike capability against adversary aircraft and amphibious assault units.

Fun fact: eventually the interview was heavily redacted. More on this later.

Brace yourselves, @mod_russia Final Board Meeting ("Итоговая коллегия") today.

Highly likely that crashed Su-57 was indeed a first serial aircraft, and could have been one of the major deliverable to brag about. Hope it will be discussed anyway.
Putin: 82% modern equipment in the nuclear triad.

Another "Anniversary Interview" by SRF commander Karakayev:

redstar.ru/yadernyj-shhit…

Stay tuned for a thread.

#RVSN60 #stratdela #hyperhype

1/
Lots of stuff said elsewhere over last few weeks, or even earlier.
5 ICBM launches in 2019 (3xPL, 2xKY),6 planned for 2020 (5xPL, 1x??).
KY test range modernization completed in 2019: new set of measuring and comms equipment, real-time information for Central Command Post.

2/
#NewSTART mentioned A LOT:
- ceilings as the only numbers that can be disclosed on SRF (~60% of delivery vehicles and warheads).
- ~70% of 18 annual inspections by the US are on SRF objects
- expressed hope that "common sense" will prevail with regard to US stance on extension

SRF Commander Karakayev wrote a piece for "Military Thought" journal about, well, "Strategic Rocket Forces of the Modern Russia": vm.ric.mil.ru/Stati/item/229…

Some takeaways in a THREAD:
- 3 armies, 12 divisions (4 silo+8 mobile, incl. Yurya)
- ~5000 people on duty at peacetime, 1/3 on battle posts
- about 400 ICBMs total (again!)
- ~95% of missiles ready to launch daily
- RU reacted to US withdrawal from ABMT and enhancing MD capabilites...

2/
...by continuously modernizing battle payloads and developing new, more refined, missile systems
- "almost all" ICBMs in service have MD penetration aids
- Avangard missile system development complete, gliding winged vehicle is a fundamentally new payload type

Day 98: “About three days ago I got a fever. They moved me alone to the flu cell. There is no one to take care of you there.”

Separated from his sister and her child earlier, he was then separated from his twin as well when he got sick.

Day 99: “When they separated us from my sister, we lost contact with my family. My sister had a paper with my parents’ address and phone number on it, and she also had that information memorized. I don’t know my parents’ number.”

Also, please remember. We all know this is a show, but still get mad a lot. I get frustrated as well. But it is a show. There is only one outcome. We win. There may be some small flexibility to how we get there, but things are planned down to levels that leave no roo, for any
possibility of loss. No this will not be a completely perfect world in every way, but this is the anointed time. The other side declared the start of the Era of Peace on Inauguration day, 2017. They had parties as well. This is the transition period. No chance of loss. 100%
chance of drama and many people getting mad. It is a show. It will be a show. Some people are pretty hard to wake up. Just raise your voices and help the work in whatever way you are able, and we will get there together.

Mayor of Lancaster says an @LASDHQ #deputy was shot by a #SNIPER.

The rookie deputy was walking in the sheriff’s station parking lot when he was shot by someone in a nearby mental health facility. That building overlooks the sheriff’s station parking lot bit.ly/31XPpdw
The suspect is reportedly somewhere inside the mental health facility.

The LA County Sheriff’s deputy is in the hospital, but is expected to recover. His bullet proof vest reportedly deflected the bullet. I’m told he is a young, rookie deputy.
A @LASDHQ Captain tells us the injured deputy is just 21-years-old. He is a patrol trainee who has been with the department for a year. He is in good spirits, and is going to be OK.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
