Good news from Russia

[gixajo]

But wait, this war and everything else related is supposed to devastate us as a country (same words for two years) and show we cannot exist without Western World. All the things I list directly influence on life of the country, its prosperity, infrastructure, logistics, comfort of everyday life, which people like you pretend not to be different from 1993 here.

Oh, you can exist without western world, and we can also without you, but both in a different way.

Better or worse, we'll see.

And of course, all of this if we should give relevance to what you post. This type of triumphalist news was a constant feature of the official Soviet press throughout the existence of the Soviet state.

You had to keep faith in the state, you know? The obligation of the press was not to inform, it was to educate.

- In 2 years, Russia has doubled the share of trade with the BRICS countries, while 85% of settlements with them already take place in national currencies.

- Russia and Belarus signed a memorandum on deepening strategic cooperation in the field of nuclear energy and related high technologies. The document provides for the implementation of joint projects in the field of nuclear medicine, digitalization, additive technologies, elimination of accumulated environmental harm and radioactive waste management.

- Employees of the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "LETI" presented a new way to conduct more accurate experiments with advanced conductor materials. Scientists have developed a "liquid probe" based on molten gallium and indium. The device uses very thin needles to squeeze metal droplets onto the surface. After that, liquid probes connected to the system read the electrical characteristics of the film with high accuracy and transmit it to a computer.

- The Tver Military Academy has patented a way to hit enemy helicopters protected by an on-board defense system. The effectiveness of the air-to-air missile homing is increased due to the curved flight path, in which the protective system does not have time to recognize the fired missile.*

- OK-Engineering has opened a new workshop in the Orenburg region for the production of import-substituting metal components for meat processing equipment. The company began production of separator drums, screw housings of syringe machines, clip supports, forming tools of packaging equipment. The company wants to import up to a third of the components for meat processing equipment. Investments in the project amounted to 161 million rubles.

- In 2024, 625 million rubles will be allocated from the budget of Yakutia for a program of subsidizing air tickets for residents registered in the Arctic regions of the republic. In 2023, 34.9 thousand passengers were transported under the privilege (the amount of subsidies amounted to 605 million rubles).

- The laboratory of EFKO's smart farm will begin analyzing feed and milk using the method of rapid analysis of "wet chemistry" on its own calibration equipment. Smart Farm conducts more than 130 types of feed and milk analyses for livestock farms and dairy enterprises from all over the country. The analysis by the method of "wet chemistry" is complex and lengthy, but very informative, allowing you to determine the content of moisture, dry matter, crude protein and fat, protein that does not dissolve in the rumen and dozens of other indicators.

- Hertz, a resident of the Kuzbass Technopark, has developed an induction loop that turns a hearing aid or cochlear implant into a Bluetooth headset. The device will allow hard of hearing people to communicate on the phone and hear sound from electronic devices well.

US economic supremacy is tenuous. One serious economic shock could lead to a depression and a sovereign debt crisis.
Unless World War 3 starts, the US will inevitably be withdrawing from the world and cutting military spending eventually.

The global economy is approaching the point of no return courtesy of mounting government debt, believes JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, and it will lead to a massive falling out of markets and federal institutions.

Currently the American national debt stands at $34.14 trillion

He added: "If you look at that 100% debt to GDP by [2035] I think it's going to be 130% and it's a hockey stick. That hockey stick doesn't start yet but when it starts markets around the world... there will be a rebellion."

Dimon's "hockey stick" scenario could occur as the American government faces higher charges to service increasing levels of debt, potentially in an economy which many are predicting will enter a slow or no-growth era.

This isn't just bad news for the Home of the Brave—America's ability to pay its debts is a concern for the nations around the world which own a $7.6 trillion chunk of the funds. The nations most exposed are Japan, which owned $1.1 trillion as of November 2023, China ($782 billion), the U.K. ($716 billion), Luxembourg ($371 billion) and Canada ($321 billion).

Charging head-first into a global fist fight with domestic and international markets is the "worst possible way to do it" Dimon added, saying: "It is a cliff. We see the cliff. It's about 10 years out."

Ryan chimed in that the debt spiral is the "most predictable crisis we've ever had," with Dimon agreeing.

On Dimon's point, Republican politician Ryan later added he believes "in five years we're going to be paying more in interest than we will be the Pentagon."



The US dollar is still the world's primary reserve currency, but this is gradually changing.
There is a gradual move away from the US dollar.

Oh, you can exist without western world, and we can also without you

Again, I don't give a damn about morale side of the story, it does not mean I need some isolation from your realm, I enjoy Western music (and I listen to it more than Russian), I watch European and US sports competitions and so on, you mix everything in one pot. There should be not goal to isolate someone from someone else, but not to make some kind of idol of anything between us, if it's useful, may it exist, just like right now the war torn Ukraine allows transit of Russian natural resources through own territory to EU, then with these money Ukrainian soldiers get killed. Numerous European and American exports to Russia, including vital to our military sector never stopped. And I like it, it's the way it should be in the World of grown up people, a degree of antagonism between bigger powers is already too high, there should be no ideological hate, but "get out of my lawn, sir" attitude and pragmatism. I would never like Russia to get into American lawn even if USA was weak. This World should be controlled by 1st and 2nd tier powers for some kind of balance.

One morning you will wake up and there will be no Ukraine mentioned like once Covid disappeared literally in one night. And you will accept it, like nothing happened before. And your leaders will start to do something together with Russia what they would never accept one year ago or now. And it will be still Putin or someone even worse in a measure of "dictatorship". And everyone will be happy.

Maybe you are right, but maybe also you should prepare yourself in the case you are wrong.

- 195 of our soldiers and officers returned today from captivity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a result of an exchange.

- The submarine Kronshtadt became a combat unit of the Baltic Fleet. The main weapon of the boat are "Calibers". In 2024, Russian shipbuilders will transfer 12 surface ships and four submarines to the Navy.

- Specialists of NPO TSNIITMASH have patented a method for obtaining a wear-resistant coating of the surfaces of steel parts based on a single-phase quasi-crystalline alloy of the Al-Cu-Fe system. The use of this hardening method will reduce the cost of repair and replacement of equipment, as well as increase its overall efficiency and productivity.

- Yaroslavl Motor Plant announced the adaptation of its YaMZ-7511 engine for use in the American-made New Holland TJ 450 tractor. The tractor with the new engine has successfully passed field tests. To replace the original engine, two technical tasks had to be solved: the power of the YaMZ-7511 was increased to 420 hp, the YaMZ-7511 was switched from mechanical to electronic control by installing an electronic speed controller. Remotorization will solve the problem of shortage and high cost of spare parts needed for repair and maintenance of equipment. Domestic engines are also being adapted for New Holland TJ 480 and 500 tractors.

- Military equipment is being tested in Yakutia. During the ten–day trip, three prototypes of military equipment – a KamAZ truck, a pre-production prototype of the Ural Arctic Bus and a medical module Typhoon based on KAMAZ - will be tested in Arctic frosts on the way from Yakutsk to the village of Tomtor Oymyakonsky ulus. The march will allow us to determine in practice how the new equipment behaves in conditions of extreme cold, and whether it will be possible to operate it in the future in the Arctic.

- In the first half of 2024, Russian Railways plans to receive 10 Finist electric trains, which have become a completely domestic replacement for Swallows. Currently, Russian Railways has already transferred 12 trains. Two more import–substituted trains will arrive in March, four more in April and May. Electric trains are almost entirely made up of domestic components.

- Rosatom scientists are developing a technology for the production of the valuable isotope nitrogen-15. Nitrogen-15 is a component for high-density uranium-plutonium nitride fuel (SNOOP fuel). Such fuel will be used in fast neutron reactors, including the innovative fourth-generation reactor plant BREST-OD-300 (the Breakthrough project), which is being built at the Siberian Chemical Plant.

- Scientists of the KubGAU Aquaculture Innovation and Technology Center have developed Russia's first encapsulated medicinal fish food. The new development will create a generation of stress- and infection-resistant fish. It will also help solve the problem of bacterial diseases that cause the death of fish in fish farms.

- Specialists of the Tallamho Design Bureau have developed an optical automatic guidance system for moving targets, which will be used to create combat robotic platforms based on turrets. The system catches glare, then the turret is aligned to the detected target and fire is automatically opened.

- The Sber School 21 campus has opened in Yaroslavl. The area of the built campus is 2500 sq. m. The school trains specialists in 14 engineering specialties and will expand this list. This year, 9 more schools will be opened in other regions.

- At the Blagodatny quarry, the Polyus company has launched an automatic sink for heavy-duty dump trucks. Working in automatic mode allows you to save time, labor, and helps to detect damage to the body in a timely manner.

- Rosatom is developing a project for the construction of a deep-water terminal of the seaport in the Kharaulakh Bay in the village of Naiba (Yakutia). The port project can be included in the federal program for the integrated development of the NSR. Naiba is part of a single agglomeration with Tiksi, which is one of the 16 main settlements of the Arctic zone.

- Production of import-substituted installations for oil production has been launched in Tyumen. Specialists of the Russian division of Schlumberger have developed a completely domestic technology. The cost of the project for three years amounted to about 400 million rubles. It is planned to produce up to four installations per year.

- The first RITM-200 reactor plant was installed on the nuclear icebreaker Chukotka. The installation weighs 147.5 tons. The thermal power of the reactor is 175 megawatts. There will be two such installations on the ship in total.

- Rosatom has completed testing of an ice reconnaissance complex based on UAVs. The third stage of the tests took place in the waters of the navigable approach channel in the Ob Bay of the Kara Sea, the device was launched from the nuclear icebreaker Yamal. During the flight, radar images were formed, video recording was conducted in the optical and infrared range. The tests were conducted in difficult weather conditions:*the wind speed is 15-17 m/s (with gusts up to 19 m/s), the air temperature is 25 °C. All systems worked normally.*The system of fully automated landing on the deck of an icebreaker has been successfully tested.

- Over the past five years, drones have been able to identify and eliminate more than 6.5 thousand illegal landfills in the Sakhalin Region. Unmanned aircraft systems have helped to significantly increase the survey area and ensure control over the elimination of illegal waste accumulation points.
