запланированных, то есть выполнение плана – аж целых 40%. И словосочетание «аж целых» здесь, увы, вполне уместно безо всякой иронии. Тех же МАПЛ «Ясень» и «Ясень-М» сперва собирались строить 10, потом — 8, потом – 7, но реально в составе флота на сегодня – один «Северодвинск», и дай бог, чтобы до конца 2020 г. морякам передали еще и «Казань». Меньше 30%. По фрегатам – из 6 проекта 11356 «адмиральской» серии для Черного моря и 8 проекта 22350 для прочих флотов в строю имеем трех «адмиралов», головного «Горшкова» и есть еще надежда на «Адмирала флота Касатонова». Итого – около 36%. Корветы? Из 35 планировавшихся к постройке в строй встали 5, и. возможно, до конца 2020 г. доделают «Ретивого» с «Гремящим» — итого 7 или 20%. Надо отметить, что сегодня у нас корветов проекта 20380 в строю не 5, а 6, но головной «Стерегущий» был сдан флоту в 2008 г и в ГПВ 2011-2020 гг., естественно, не входил.

Десантные корабли? Ну, четыре французских мушкетера — УДК проекта «Мистраль» до отечественного ВМФ так и не добрались (правда, автор не уверен, что стоит расстраиваться по этому поводу). Из 6 планировавшихся к передаче флоту «Иванов Гренов» в строй войдут только 2, при условии, что «Петр Моргунов» все же успеет в 2020 г.

Venemaa relvajõud alustasid ootamatult Lääne ja Lõuna sõjaväeringkonna üksuste lahinguvalmiduse kontrolli.

Lisaks kontrollitakse ka keskalluvuses olevate üksuste, õhudessantvägede ning Vaikse ookeani ja Põhja-Jäämere laevastiku merejalaväe üksuste valmisolekut. Lahinguvalmiduse harjutus käivitati kõrgema ülemjuhataja (president Vladimir Putini - toim.) otsuse alusel, teatas Vene kaitseminister Sergei Šoigu reedel.

"Antud üritus on planeeritud eesmärgiga hinnata relvajõudude võimekust kindlustada Vene Föderatsiooni sõjaline julgeolek riigi edelaosas, kus püsib tõsine terrorismioht ja valmistumaks strateegiliseks õppuseks Kavkaz - 2020," ütles Šoigu reedel kaitseministeeriumi juhtkonna koosolekul.

Kaitseministri sõnul testitakse kontrolli käigus vägede lahinguvalmidust 56 taktikalise õppuse korraldamisega. Selleks kasutatakse 35 polügooni ja harjutusväljakut, 17 merepolügooni Mustas ja Kaspia meres. Kokku haarab äkk-õppus 149 755 inimest 26 820 ühikut sõjatehnikat, 414 lennuvahendit, 106 sõjalaeva, rääkis Šoigu.

Kaitseminister käskis harjutustega kontrollida vägede lahinguvalmiduse ja positsioonidele asetamise suutlikkust enne õppust Kavkaz - 2020.

Šoigu sõnul käskis ta õppuste igas etapis järgida rangelt ohutustehnika nõudeid, hoida relvi ja laskemoona ning hoiduda riigi omandile ja looduskeskkonnale kahju tekitamast. "Kontrollmeetmete käigus on vaja rakendada kõiki meetmeid isikkoosseisu tervise hoidmiseks," lisas minister.

OSINT geeks, if you're tracking the Great Russian Readiness Exercise keep an eye on extra gear loaded vehicle topsides. It's only a few days ex and already couple units seem to have topped up heavily.

For the first time, the Burevestnik Central Research Institute, part of Uralvagonzavod defense manufacturer within the state hi-tech corporation Rostec, has released a photo of the newest Russian 152mm Malva wheeled self-propelled howitzer.

The previously secret development is shown publicly for the first time. This is a new Russian artillery system that based on the BAZ-6010 8×8 chassis.

The 2S43 ‘Malva’ is designated to destroy a potential enemy’s command posts, communications centers, artillery and mortar batteries, armor, including tanks, anti-tank weapons, air and ballistic missile defense systems and manpower.

The Malva is armed with a 152mm gun with a rate of fire of over 8 rounds per minute, which is higher than the speed of other artillery systems. This rate of fire is ensured by the special design of the gun-loading mechanism. The howitzer’s weapon suite also includes a remotely-controlled station.

The new artillery system lighter, more mobile and easier to be transported by aircraft, which expands the range of its missions and the promptness of their fulfillment.

6000+ VDV troops begun 4 d heavy metal exercise in Ryazan area.

Units are Ivanovo 98th, Tula 106th Ulyanovsk 31st + additional forces from Moscow region. 30+ Il-76 planes, helicopters and even couple Su-34s involved.

Interestingly, also forced water crossing with pontoons.

Two latest universal amphibious assault ships were laid down for the first time at the Zaliv Shipyard in Kerch on Monday.

The ceremony was attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin who attached the keel-laying plaque to the Project’s first ship.

"Today three leading Russian shipyards are simultaneously laying down six new ocean-going ships. Here, in Kerch, these are two universal amphibious assault ships. At the Severnaya Shipyard in St. Petersburg, these are two frigates and at the Sevmash Shipyard in Severodvinsk, these are two nuclear-powered underwater cruisers," the president said.

Also the best photo I've seen so far of the Magnolia 120mm self-propelled gun on a DT-30 chassis designed for the Arctic. The Magnolia is part of the Nabrosok program that includes the Drok 82mm mortar (Typhoon-VDV chassis) and the Flox 120mm mortar on an armored Ural-4320

Plenty of exers going on in Russia's Central Military District. They all have one thing in common: they are practising for a second phase to follow up a large-scale offensive operation by Western Military District and/or Southern Military District. VDV has already done the biz.

Russia will move the latest weapons and additional troops to the western borders in response to U.S. plans to deploy troops to Poland and the Baltic states, reported Interfax, citing the Inspector of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Vladimir Bogatyrev.

United States Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced on Wednesday that U.S. troops could be deployed in countries bordering Russia. Part of the 12,000-strong contingent, which is being withdrawn from Germany, can be relocated to Polish and Baltic bases.
