Germany and Poland cannot cope with the situation at the border on their own, they need the help of the European Union, writes Bild with reference to the head of the German Interior Ministry Horst Seehofer.
“ We must help the Polish government to secure the external border. In fact, it is the job of the European Commission. Now I urge them to take action ',' 'ndash; he said in a newspaper interview.
Seehofer added that Poland has so far reacted correctly to the incident and called for “publicly supporting the Poles”, since Berlin cannot criticize Warsaw for “protecting the EU external border with acceptable means. & # 39; & # 39;
Earlier, the press secretary of the minister-coordinator of Polish special services Stanislav Zharin wrote on Twitter that Belarus is preparing a large transfer of illegal migrants to a neighboring country, and published a video filmed from the Belarusian side. The pictures show & nbsp; several hundred people walking along the road & nbsp; with luggage, including women and children.
Yesterday migrants tried to break through barbed wire, in response border guards used tear gas
In the evening Belarus announced the shooting at the border Polish. About 2,000 illegal migrants have gathered in front of the border. Poland later announced the closure of the Kuznica checkpoint.
This morning we learned that the night at the border passed without incident.
The deeply modernized Ka-226T light helicopter made its first flight on the basis of the flight test complex of the National Helicopter Engineering Center “ Mil and Kamov & # 39; & # 39 ;. This was reported on the website of the Russian Helicopters holding company.
The report states that the Ka-226T helicopter has started flight tests. It is noteworthy that the aircraft received improved aerodynamic characteristics and electronic equipment. In addition, the design of its airframe and fuselage have been modified, as well as the machine's carrying system. Thus, the Ka-226T received a new main rotor column, blades, main gearbox and shock and crash resistant fuel system.
Russian helicopters; pointed out that the Ka-226T became the first Russian rotorcraft, the design documentation of which was fully digitized.
The post added that the aircraft is equipped with a coaxial rotor design. It offers good handling in thin air conditions, as well as resistance to strong crosswinds and a high rate of climb. The helicopter can land at high altitude sites, the holding company said.
Earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Russian Helicopters holding company has demonstrated legal capacity.
The next ISS orbit correction will take place on November 16, TASS reports.
Roscosmos clarified that the maneuver will be carried out using the engines of the Progress MS- 18 freight vehicles. They & nbsp; will be on at 8:40 p.m. Moscow time and run for 478 seconds.
The average altitude of the orbit of the station will increase by approximately 1.3 km and will be approximately 420.76 km above the Earth's surface .
Earlier it was reported that cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov has become the new commander of the ISS. His powers were transferred to him by European Space Agency astronaut Tom Pesce. The Russian will lead the international crew of the 66th Long-Term Expedition until they return to Earth.
There are now seven people at the station. The dispatch of the third crew aboard Crew Dragon to the ISS has been postponed to at least November 10. & nbsp;
Asteroid 4660 Nereus will approach Earth on December 11, reports NASA.
It will be at a distance of approximately 3.9 million kilometers from the planet. The size of the celestial body is 330 meters. & Nbsp;
The US Space Agency has classified the 4660 Nereus as potentially dangerous. It is clarified that the next time the asteroid approaches Earth in 2112.
Previously, it was reported that NASA will test Earth's protection against potentially asteroids dangerous. The launch is scheduled for Nov. 24 from California. The probe will reach the Didim-Dimorf double asteroid in the fall of 2022 and crash into it at a speed of 25,000 km/h. According to the results of the experiment, scientists plan to improve the way to protect against space threats.
Prior to that, it was reported that NASA missed the asteroid SG 2021 approaching Earth. Its size is comparable to the Statue of Liberty. & Nbsp;
For three years, 80 km of riverbeds have been cleared in Russia and more than 8.5 thousand hectares of land plans 39; water tanks have been restored. This is the result of the work of the federal project “ Preservation of unique water bodies ''. national 'Ecology' project. Thanks to this, the ecological living conditions of 9 million Russians have improved. & Nbsp;
Strategic resource & nbsp;
Large-scale restoration of rivers, reservoirs, lakes and ponds started in 2019. They are cleared of vegetation, debris and accumulated silt that impedes the flow of water and self -purification. To date, work is already fully completed on the Voronezh River in the Lipetsk region, the Seim River in the Kursk region, the Upa River in the Tula region, the Temernik River in the Rostov region and the Unzha River in the Vladimir region. This year water bodies are cleaned in Crimea, Bashkortostan, Mordovia, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Bryansk, Vladimir, Volgograd, Voronezh and many other regions. In total, the federal project “ Preservation of unique water bodies '' 51 regions of Russia are involved. & nbsp;
“ Water & mdash; strategic resource of our state, & mdash; noted the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation Alexander Kozlov … & mdash; Despite the fact that the largest rivers flow through the territory of Russia, a number of regions are already facing a water shortage. Aquatic ecosystems are very vulnerable, and for decades their purity, which means that people's quality of life, the state of the environment, have not been given due attention. . Implementation of the national project & bdquo; Ecology & ldquo; launched large-scale changes in this area, and, most importantly, there are already practical results. & # 39; & # 39;
Here is an example of & mdash; in St. Petersburg this year, they completed the cleaning of the bed of the Smolenka River. It has not been cleaned for 15 years, which is why the depth has decreased and the flow has decreased. In two years, the 3.5 km section of the river from the Nalichny Bridge to the source was cleared of bottom sediment and flooded objects: barrels, cans and even a motorcycle. Divers participated in the clean-up. Smolenka has its source in the Malaya Neva, flows between Vasilievsky Island and Dekabristov Island and empties into the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland. During its long history, the river has changed its name several times: Myakusha, Chernaya, Glukhaya. It only became Smolenka in the 20th century as the Smolensk Cemetery, next to which it is located.
Tourist place
The federal project includes water bodies that meet at least one of the criteria: they are located in the territory registered in the register of objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia; provide water for consumption and household needs of the population; valuable species of fish, plants and animals live there; the reservoirs are located within the boundaries of the settlements and are used by the population for recreation. & nbsp;
“ Often the rivers that enter the project do not even reach 100 km in length. But it is important to understand that it is they who feed the largest bodies of water, affect the degree of their water content and the hydrographic network of the country as a whole, & mdash; noted deputy head of Rosvodresursov Natalia Sologub . & mdash; The decision on the water plan to be restored is taken by the regional authorities. They are guided by the condition of the river or reservoir, as well as the demand of the people. & # 39; & # 39; & Nbsp;
In the Nizhny Novgorod region thanks to the national project “ Ecology & # 39; & # 39; cleared three rivers at once: Satis, Tyosha and Vichkinza. All of them pass through the territory of the Arzamas-Diveevo-Sarov pilgrimage and tourism hub. Another name for these places is & mdash; The Land of Seraphim is a land with unique architectural monuments and Orthodox shrines. Therefore, the ecological effect will be felt not only by 300,000 local residents, but also by a large number of tourists and pilgrims who visit the Land of Seraphim.
The Satis River is 89 km long, of which 14.5 km cross the territory of the closed city of Sarov. The water area of the river has been cleared of debris, silt deposits, sediment and fallen trees have been removed from the bottom. Its tributary, the Vichkinza River, was similarly purified. It passes through the village of Diveyevo & mdash; the crossroads of pilgrimage routes and an important administrative, economic and cultural center of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The Tesha River, the right tributary of the Oka, in the Arazmas region is heavily overgrown with plants. As a result, the speed of the current decreased, water exchange slowed, and areas near the coast were flooded. The federal plan will solve these problems. At the mentioned site, driftwood, vegetation detritus and debris will be removed. & Nbsp;
3,000 felled trees and over 18,000 cubic meters of gravel and sandy rocks will be removed from the riverbeds that flow within the boundaries of Yalta Urban District and Bakhchisarai Region … The safety of local residents depends on the carrying capacity of rivers. In mountainous areas, flooding processes develop instantly. Blockages pose a threat to human settlements, so it is important to free the chains as quickly as possible from all that is unnecessary. & Nbsp;
Work on the national project “ Ecology & # 39; & # 39; go to the largest reservoirs in the country: Bratsk, Sayano-Shushensky, Ust-Ilimsk, Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Zeysk, Krasnodar, Volgograd, etc. Their water bodies are cleared of wood waste and debris. It is expected that this work will be completed within five years.
In Poland, on November 6, thousands of demonstrations against the ban on abortions under the slogan 'Not one more' ' took place. The reason for the speeches was the death of a pregnant woman who was refused an abortion. A week ago, Polish media published the story of a 30-year-old woman who was hospitalized in her 22nd week of pregnancy when her waters broke. Before that, the fetus was diagnosed with deformities. The woman died of septic shock. Her family and lawyer believe doctors waited too long to terminate the pregnancy. The case is being investigated by local supervisory authorities. On October 22, 2020, the Constitutional Court ruled to ban abortions in Poland due to 39; fetal pathology that does not threaten the life and health of the mother. The verdict sparked a massive wave of protests across the country demanding the resignation of the government and the departure of the ruling Law and Justice party in Poland. Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
The Russian air defense system has learned how to shoot down hypersonic missiles. Tests of the new S-300V4 anti-aircraft missile systems with new ammunition, designed to destroy ballistic missiles and hypersonic warheads, took place at the Kapustin Yar missile range in the Astrakhan region . Experimental exercises were carried out in conditions close to those of combat and were considered to be successful.
During the S-300V4 air defense systems test run at the Kapustin Yar test site, 40 clustered and single targets were destroyed at altitudes up to 35 kilometers. The target range was 3 to 50 kilometers. It is reported that the conditions under which the shooting was carried out were as close as possible to the actual combat situation. Unmanned aerial vehicles interfered with the operation of the air defense system, creating electronic interference. & Nbsp;
According to the results of the launches, specialists came to the conclusion that the complex is capable of ensuring the destruction of tactical short and medium-range missiles, as well as long-range hypersonic missile units. This quality has become possible thanks to the new ammunition, which itself is capable of accelerating to hypersonic speeds and can hit targets at distances of up to 400 kilometers. Improved ammunition will be guaranteed to take down all air ballistic targets. For example, very maneuverable warheads mounted on missiles, capable of altering the flight path on approach to the object of attack, making it difficult to defeat them.
The S-300V4 is considered a revolutionary defense system against any type of air attack. This air defense system can protect troops and important objects from any type of air attack. The complex has proven itself particularly well in combating missiles on downward trajectories. The capabilities of this air defense system cover an area 2-3 times larger against air strikes than the classic “three hundred” can. Thanks to this, the area of destruction of air targets is larger. The new systems are guaranteed to intercept medium-range missile warheads. As part of the air defense system, there are also special narrow-orientation radars and launchers capable of striking ballistic missiles.
The first S-300V4 entered the troops in 2014. The air defense missile system includes a command post, radar stations for various purposes, self-propelled launchers and launchers, as well as anti-aircraft guided missiles of several types.
The improved S-300V4 system received fully digital equipment capable of simultaneously tracking 24 aerodynamic targets, including stealth objects, or 16 ballistic missiles. The appearance of modified missiles required a minor upgrade of the S-300V4 system itself. At the same time, it is noteworthy that the S-300V4 still has great potential for modernization. & Nbsp;
The S-300V4 are in service in all military districts. The first brigade was formed in the Krasnodar Territory in 2014. In the Central Military District, the S-300V4 took up combat duties in the Samara region and in the Moscow region. They were also deployed in the Kaliningrad region. Last year, S-300V4 air defense systems entered service on the islands of the Kuril Ridge. In October 2016, the S-300V4 Systems Division was deployed to Syria and took up combat duties to protect Khmeimim Airfield and Tartus Navy Logistics Center.
The court sentenced the engineer of the Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex (TANTK) Vladislav Shulga, charged with massive poisoning at thallium from company employees, at age eight in a general diet colony.
The Taganrog City Court has found Shulga guilty of three articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, including willfully inflicting grievous bodily harm, TASS reports.
According to the investigation, in 2017, in revenge after a traffic conflict with several senior employees, Shulga poured thallium on highly toxic poisons, in a cooler with water & # 39; nbsp; to business. Thallium salts were found in the blood of 28 of the 37 employees who consulted doctors.
A thallium-containing chemical was found in a bottle taken from the factory and on a chemical scale taken from Shulga's apartment.
The engineer first admitted his guilt, then recanted. His mother claimed that her son confessed under pressure.
The Rostov regional prosecutor's office confirmed the indictment in the poisoning case mass thallium in May of last year. The prosecution required eight years in prison for Shulga in court.
The court in Kemerovo has recovered 75,000 rubles from the Ministry of Situations of & # Emergency of the Russian Federation in favor of relatives of those killed in the fire in & nbsp; Winter Cherry, reports RIA Novosti. & nbsp;
The deadline for eight defendants in the first case was announced on October 29; on November 8, the court continued with the announcement of the operative part of the verdict. Previously, the court also ruled that the employer should pay 1 million rubles & nbsp; close & nbsp; parents & nbsp; for each of the 60 victims. & Nbsp;
Recall that the fire at the Kemerovo shopping center “ Winter Cherry '' took place on March 25, 2018. As a result of the incident, 60 people died, including children.
The official representative of RF IC & nbsp; Svetlana Petrenko said earlier that during the preliminary investigation into the case, the events of the day the tragedy occurred were instantly restored. It was found that the leadership of the Regional Ministry of Emergency Situations did not carry out inspections to ensure compliance with fire safety requirements and the operation of an object with a presence massive number of people.
The US military “ accidentally '' showed the appearance of a new generation fighter in a video from the military-industrial company Northrop Grumman. This was reported by The Drive. AiF.ru determined what type of aircraft it was and whether the one depicted in the video could be trusted.
On November 1, Northrop Grumman Corporation released a video with a hangar with planes, some of which really exist, and some & mdash; just concepts. Among the latter & mdash; a large discreet plane without vertical stabilizer, adapted to the description of the fighter of the NGAD program.
The video itself is 15 seconds long. During the action, the elevator brings the girl down to the hangar, the doors open and then close. As a result, the plane can be seen within moments. Based on what we have seen, it can be noted that the new aircraft is very large, inconspicuous and without a vertical tail.
According to The Drive, this is similar to the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program platform. The program involves the creation of a family of systems, including unmanned aerial vehicles and manned long-range vehicles, included in tactical weapons. The fighter shown in the video meets the requirements of this program. The outline of the plane suggests that it is hard to find (and, apparently, easy to lose).
By the way, it can be both unmanned and controlled, according to the article's authors. & Nbsp; It also bears a slight resemblance to the Model 401 airplane developed by Scaled Composites, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman. In particular, the sharp white nose resembles one of the new Northrop Grumman Slave and Unmanned Combat Vehicle (UCAV) concepts available. One version of this device is based on the “Model 401” and the other is “its 'derivative'.
However, the plane looks like a painted plane. By the way, the quality of the video itself is very low, which is rather odd for such a large company. Internet commentators sarcastically point out that in this way the company is hiding the wrong design and the very concept of the airplane. There is a version which is the new F/A-XX. It's backed up by the fact that it has a two-wheeled front landing gear, which no Air Force fighter has, according to the Air Force. # 39; one of the users.
By the way, there are also planes in the video. On the far left is an unmanned combat aircraft with a flying wing, very similar to future X-47B glider demonstrators. & Nbsp;
There is also a B-2 Spirit, far in the background, the B-21 Raider or the RQ-180 seem to take off. At the rear right we have the EA-18G Growler, the E-2D Hawkeye, (the latest version of the early warning and control aircraft), and finally the MQ-4C Triton, a derivative of the Q-4 Global Hawk for maritime surveillance.
The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the company just has fun teasing users with such videos. & nbsp;
