Interpol Issues Arrest Warrant for Russian IS Killer 'Jihadi Vlad'

user posted image

QUOTE
Interpol has issued an international arrest warrant for the Russian Islamic State militant shown beheading his countryman in a video released by the terror group early in December, Russian media reported Friday. A high-priority “Red Notice,” calling for his location and detention “with a view to extradition or similar lawful action,” has been published on the organization's official website.

The killer — who has been identified as Anatoly “Tolik” Zemlyanka, a native of the west Siberian city of Noyabrsk, and dubbed “Jihadi Vlad” or “Jihadi Tolik” by some news outlets — has now been charged in absentia with “involvement with an illegal armed group” at the request of Russian authorities, the Interfax news agency wrote quoting an unidentified source.

Footage showing the execution by Zemlyanka of the Chechen Mogamed Khasiyev, whom the Islamic State identified as a Russian spy, made headlines on Dec. 2, with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov confirming that the victim came from the Caucasian republic amid reports that his involvement with secret services was “doubtful.”

TUSCOR LLOYDS TRANSPORTS REFUELING TANKER

user posted image

UK freight forwarder and shipping agent Tuscor Lloyds has delivered an out-of-gauge tactical refueling tanker from Stafford in the north of England to Penang, Malaysia.

The military vehicle was shipped to the Malaysian Armed Forces and required a special license to be carried. The cargo weighed a total of 23 tons and to transport it the project team at Tuscor Lloyds had to split the tank and truck into separate sections.

Each part of the cargo was then loaded onto individual 40-foot flat rack containers, which were driven, escorted by members of the British Armed Forces, to the port of Felixstowe.

Once at the port, the cargo was loaded aboard a ship using a heavy-lift crane, ready for the 38-day trip to the port of Pennag.

The transportation and loading process was fully managed and supervised by Tuscor Lloyd’s project team, led by Martyn Blackburn. The tactical refueling tanker will be used in military operations to supply fuel in battlefield scenarios.

“Logistics for the military sector can be difficult, but thanks to the experienced project cargo handlers at Tuscor Lloyds and the military/port side personnel assisting throughout, the tactical refueling tanker arrived in Malaysia within the scheduled time and budget for the shipment,” a spokesperson for Tuscor Lloyds said.

This Is Northrop Grumman's Idea Of A Sixth-Generation Fighter, But Is It Feasible?

user posted image

QUOTE
Even as the Pentagon is struggling to figure out a way to afford and field its fifth-generation fighter of choice, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Navy and the U.S. Air Force—along with industry—are looking at what comes next. This sixth-generation fighter initiative is loosely known as the “F-X program” for the USAF and the “FA-XX” for the Navy.

The F-X program looks to to finally replace the F-15 Eagle, as well as the F-22 Raptor, and the FA-XX program aims to replace the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. This new aircraft will be as much about reusable weaponry (lasers) as it is about expendable weaponry. Development of solid-state airborne laser capability is already well underway in the white world, and has most likely experienced other application gains in the black world.
QUOTE
For a sixth-generation fighter like the ones depicted by Northrop Grumman, top-end speed and maneuverability may be sacrificed to some degree—at least, if the crank-kite flying wing design is used—in order achieve many other enhanced capabilities at an affordable cost. For instance, packing a laser system and long-range into a 9G tailless, supersonic fighter design may not only be prohibitively expensive, but also wasteful. By giving up maneuverability and high top-speed performance for enhanced stealth and greater fuel and weapons capacity, while relying on lasers instead of maneuverability for self defense, little is lost while much is gained.

Israeli Military to Install Missile Interceptors on Warships Protecting

user posted image

QUOTE
The Israel Defense Forces is planning to install Iron Dome missile defense batteries on board its advanced warships to protect the country's gas drilling platforms.

The installation of the interceptors is an interim solution that would remain in place until new ships meant to protect the rigs arrive from Germany in 2019. The ships were acquired in a deal estimated at 430 million euros.

According to a senior officer, the navy's Sa'ar 5 ships are currently equipped with Barak 1 missiles. The new ships, dubbed Sa'ar 6, will be equipped with the more advanced Barak 8 interceptors. In the meantime, the defense establishment wants to arm the ships with interceptors like those of the Iron Dome that could better protect Israel's gas drilling platforms from potential missile barrages.

RUSSIA TO SUPPORT KURDS WITH MONEY AND EQUIPMENT

user posted image

It’s widely known that Turkey supports a diverse range of the extremist movements in Russia and in Central Asia. Especially roughly, that strategy was used during both Chechen wars when servicemen of the Turkish special services coordinated and supported the terrorists in the Russian North Caucasus.

After the Su-24 incident in Syria, Turkey intensified contacts with extremists in Russia and its neighbouring states.

SouthFront: Analysis & Intelligence has information that, in turn, Russia has started to support the Kurdish national movement in Turkey.

The situation in Turkey remains critical. Political and national dissidents amid the deep economical crisis tear the country apart. Moreover,  Ankara’s actions against the Kurds which are 30% of the Turkish population have already escalated the situation to an open military conflict inside the country.

If the tendency remains, the partition of Turkey could become possible in the nearest future. The Russian support of the Kurdish movements in Turkey and the Kurdish enclaves in Syria and Iraq which border with Turkey are a strong argument for this possibility.

This has been anticipated. Erdogan will face a formidable Kurdish force. One that's been trained and armed by the American and now receive extra boost by the Russian. Anyone wonder why Turkey sent their troops to northern Iraq and mati mati doesn't want to pull back despite being warned by the Iraqi? The Syrian saga has provided the Kurd the best ever chance to fight for their own land since WWII. They are being armed and trained in an unprecedented scale by the major global players.

Russian destroyer fires warning shots at Turkish fishing boat on collision course in Aegean

user posted image

QUOTE
Russian destroyer had to open warning fire as a Turkish fishing vessel sailed on a collision course towards them and didn’t respond to calls from the warship, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
The incident happened in the northern part of the Aegean Sea some 12 nautical miles from the Greek island of Lemnos, the ministry said.

The crew of the Kashin-class guided missile destroyer Smetlivy spotted the Turkish fishing trawler some 1,000 meters from the Russian warship early on Sunday morning, the ministry said. The ship was sailing towards the destroyer and ignored calls for radio contact and other attempts to communicate.

Turkey decries sighting of Russian ‘soldier with manpad’ on ship passing Istanbul
When the Turkish vessel approached to about 600 meters, the Smetlivy opened small arms fire at a spot in front of the trawler, taking care to avoid any risk of hitting the Turkish ship itself, the report said.

The ministry said the Turkish fishing ship changed course after that and kept about 540 meters from the Smetlivy, but didn’t contact the Russian warship.

You have a good point on this volatile situation because Putin's astro forces doesn't seem to be much bombing the kurds that opposes Assad. Instead, concentrating more on the "Moderate terrorists FSA, Al Nusra & their affiliates". It seems, Putin's real objective is to secure the borders of Turkey & Jordan so that ISIS will be cut off from their logistical support. Finally, the kurds with the help of Putin will end the scurge of ISIS. Of course, Turkey will never let this scenario pan out.

The Best is Yet to Come: Russian Tanks to Become ‘Invisible’, Grenade-Proof

user posted image

The Mantle, developed by the Institute of Steel, which is part of the Tractor Factories Concern, consists of a screen with dynamic protection elements, which is placed 50 millimeters to 1,500 millimeters ahead of the protected object, Novosti VPK defense website reported.

When hit by an antitank grenade the screen’s low-density surface prevents it from blowing up with its discreet protective elements destroying the grenade fuse’s electrical circuit.

Simultaneously, the Mantle partially destroys the grenade’s cumulative element. As a result, when hitting the tank’s main armor, the grenade either fails to explode or its armor-piercing ability is significantly undermined.

As to the Mantle’s stealth capability, it makes tanks and infantry fighting vehicles six times less visible to enemy radar and three times less detectible in the infrared spectrum.

The Mantle is installed and uninstalled in a matter of just a few minutes and requires no additional training.

IMO Putin wants to court the Kurds away from the US and use them to annoy Turkey too, as Kurdistan is what Turkey absolutely does not want. In the long term a Russia-friendly Kurdistan can together with Syria block NATO's access to the Mid East region, maybe even topple Turkey's government.

That will leave NATO with even less influence in the Mid East if they allow it to happen, or suck them into a proxy war against Kurdistan and Syria. All according to plan wink.gif

Even by toppling Endrogan will not change the new Turkish government of any idea of "Kurdistan" plus the Iranian & iraqis Government will go against it. However, the israelis might consider "Kurdistan" a good idea because it will create a huge wedge between the Arabs,Turks & Iranians.

Christian female fighters take on IS in Syria

user posted image

QUOTE
The fierce-looking 36-year-old in fatigues from the Syriac Christian minority in the northeast believes she is making the future safe for her children.

"I miss Limar and Gabriella and worry that they must be hungry, thirsty and cold. But I try to tell them I'm fighting to protect their future," she told AFP.

Babylonia belongs to a small, recently created battalion of Syriac Christian women in Hasakeh province who are fighting IS.

They are following in the footsteps of Syria's other main female force battling the militants - the women of the YPJ, the female counterpart to the Kurdish People's Protection Units or YPG.

So far the new force is small, with around 50 graduates so far from its training camp in the town of al-Qahtaniyeh, also known as Kabre Hyore in Syriac, and Tirbespi in Kurdish.

But the "Female Protection Forces of the Land Between the Two Rivers" - the area between the Tigris and Euphrates waterways historically inhabited by Syriacs -- is teeming with women eager to prove their worth against IS.

Hezbollah, Syrian Army Encircle Al-Zorba and Khan Touman in Southern Aleppo

user posted image

In matter of two months, the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah – in coordination with their Iraqi and Iranian allies – have captured several hilltops, villages and towns in the Aleppo Governorate’s southern countryside, while also building a large buffer-zone around the provincial capital’s southern flank.

With the capture of 5 villages near Jabal Arba’een, the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah have secured the contested area surrounding the villages of Tal Dadeen, Kafr ‘Abid, and Hamidah; this has forced the Islamist rebels from Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group), Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, and Liwaa Suqour Al-Sham to retreat south towards safer quarters.

Later in the day, the real assault in southern Aleppo began: Hezbollah – backed by the 4th Division’s brand new T-90 tanks – launched a massive assault on the strategic towns of Al-Zorba and Khan Touman, killing several enemy combatants from Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Jabhat Al-Nusra before they would advance to the northern flank.

As a result of this latest push, Hezbollah and the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division are now situated at two different flanks (eastern and northern flanks), marking the advent of their besiegement of Khan Touman and Al-Zorba.

The Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah are currently approaching zero hour for Al-Zorba and Khan Touman; if these towns are captured by the aforementioned pro-government forces, they will have effectively cutoff the main supply route from Idlib to Aleppo for the Islamist rebels.

Frankly, no. Especially Sepatu Timur brand (the very shoes Malaysian military/LE issue to all its personnel).

If you want a comfortable heavy duty shoes, try going for summer hiking boots. They don't provide similar ankle support like military boots (not that you'd need them for casual use anyway), but these boots is tough as nail. For MYR100/200, you might as well as going for Weinbrenner boots (you can find those in any Bata store). They're surprisingly durable actually. I've used those for casual hiking and spelunking.

The Kurds wants to hold on to their territory. As long as they can have their piece of cake in the Kurdish region undisturbed, they don't shit care about what Assad does with others. In short they are not really interested in marching to Damascus. They know full well whoever replaces Assad regime, be it Al-Qaeda or ISIS, they will be in trouble. So it is better to secure their defacto control of the region now.

US is using the Kurds to check the Turks. Whatever happen, Erdogan will have a big headache. Turkey's been going a little too "independent" in its foreign policy from US since Erdogan took power.
