Nope, MAPNA is currently delivering f class turbines under license from Siemens. The first of 20 planned f class turbines was delivered to the Dokouheh Power Plant in Khuzestan Province on Saturday, December 21, 2019.

The Siemens license is current and ongoing according to MAPNAS website. With new sanctions against Iran from NATO allies due to it's support of Russia in it's war against Ukraine, there is a strong possibility that Siemens will be forced to once again suspend their licensing deal with MAPNA.

Long range anti-radiation missile perhaps? I read somewhere that they might be experimenting by adding the seeker and warhead from the AARGM-ER to the JASSM-ER.

I suspect that there are a lot of recycled chips being sold as new to the Russians. There is an entire industry in China that strips down used phones and appliances for various parts.

China dumps dud chips on Russia, Moscow media moans What? Sanctions-busting sellers aren't interested in your complaints? That's a shame The failure rate of semiconductors shipped from China to Russia has increased by 1,900 percent in recent months, according to Russian national business daily...

And there's more to come before the end of the year.

The mRNA technology created and patented by the Pharma companies has potential applications that extend well beyond the covid vaccines. None of them will hand over that technology and jeopardise their future market positions to a potential rival, Pharma companies are strategically focused not...

Maybe they need to install some of these:

I'm going to put that one in my signature, an absolute gem.

Discounted by $35 below the spot rate was the figure I saw, which means at the moment a price of around $55 Us per barrel. I knew Russia was flaring off natural gas, but I didn't know it could be done with oil too. I'm curious about this now, think I'll do some reading on it.

Isn't Russia selling oil to China and India at a net loss with something like $35 per barrel discounting? The Russians are only selling it to China and India because they don't have any spare storage capacity and can't just turn of the pipelines.

They are introducing a few mutant characters in the next 12 months so we may see a couple of the other x-men as well, but there hasn't been an official announcement on the MCU X-men film yet. I think they will throw the $$$$ to keep Jackman wolverine around, but he may well appear as an Avenger...

Fascinating. Solovyov seems to be suggesting that sombody has intentionally undermined the mobilization by altering the conscription criteria, Simonyan seems to be leaning more towards bureaucratic incompetence. Probably a combination of the two.

That's got to be the new ceramic based RAM referenced here: No doubt there will be other cutting edge technologies incorporated, such as RDE (rotating detonation engines) at some point. I also wonder if they are considering a tanker variant for operating in contested airspaces.

How long do you think it will take for these newly mobilized troops to take the field? And how do you think will they be deployed, in newly formed units or reinforcing depleted units?

Do you think they will use the new ceramic based RAM? The guy who runs the sandbox youtube channel had been talking about it a bit lately, but mainly in reference to NGAD.

Especially after Russia suspended US inspections of its nuclear arsenal. Russia halts U.S. inspections of its nuclear aresenal

All very true, but there is something that puts the Russians in a category of their own when it comes to brutality. And their barbaric phase is more of a persistant state. Over its 69 years in power, the Soviet/Russian regime murdered more of its own citizens than any other in history. Low end...

This doesn't surprise me at all. Many people don't believe me when I say that Russians are the most brutal and inhumane group of people to ever walk the face of the Earth. I know its a generalization to say that, and I have had some good Russian friends that I worked with, but the kind of...

Yeah, if left unchecked they wouldn't have stopped at invading Ukraine. It's obvious they would have kept on using the 'denazifying' line to invade and occupy other former Soviet bloc nations, and then keep going into Western Europe using the same flimsy rationale.
