Q&A by lieutenant colonel Oleg Shalandin part 2 of 2

Question 3: Every day NATO spy planes fly into the Desert [Barents] and Black Seas to spy on Russia's border? Why doesn't the Air Force monitor the Barents sea and Black 24x7

Answer.
The fighter aviation of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is in constant readiness to repel violations of the state border. NATO reconnaissance aircraft did not violate the border of the Russian Federation, they conduct their surveillance in neutral waters, there is no reason to shoot them down.

Question 4: Following Russia's withdrawal from the CTBTO, an arms control treaty, is the Russian military developing more nuclear warheads?

Answer.
Do you mean the Strategic Nuclear Deterrence Treaty? The Russian army does not develop nuclear weapons; they are developed and produced by the Defense Industrial Complex of the Russian Federation. The Russian Army has enough nuclear weapons to support combat operations of any scale and intensity.

Question 5: Which side will Russia take in the event of the Armenian-Ajerbzhan conflict?

Answer.
Russia is interested in a peaceful resolution of this conflict as a source of tension in the South Caucasus region. Russia proceeds from its national interests and always takes the side of the arbiter, which is why it sent its peacekeeping mission to this region.

Question 6: Why doesn't Russia deploy nuclear missiles to deter the US and NATO?

Answer.
Russia has Strategic Nuclear Forces, which include air and naval forces, as well as Strategic Missile Forces. With modern delivery systems at the disposal of the Russian army, it makes no sense to place nuclear missiles close to the border.

Question 7: Why doesn't the Russian Air Force build concentrated bunkers for strategic aircraft such as Tu 160, Tu 195, etc.

Answer.
The Tu-160 and Tu-95 aircraft spend relatively brief period at the airfield, as mostly these are patrolling our country's borders, so building such storage facilities, in my opinion, makes no practical sense.

Question 8: IF countries like Finland and Sweden impose a sea and air blockade, will NATO countries be able to confiscate Russian cargo ships? If this happens, what will be the reaction?

Answer.
This will be a casus belli [reason to start the war]

Question 9: What is the actual airspace and sea space from the boundary that defines airspace or sea space.

Answer.
The boundaries relating to the airspace of the state are regulated by the Air Code of the Russian Federation and coincide with the state border of the Russian Federation.
Exclusive economic zone (economic zone) is an area of the high seas located outside and adjacent to the territorial sea. According to Art. 57 of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the width of the exclusive economic zone should not exceed 200 nautical miles, measured from the baselines from which the width of the territorial sea is measured.

Question 10: Is Russia going to station 1 million soldiers in each military district?

Answer.
President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the staffing level of the Armed Forces; it will increase to 2,209,130 people, including 1,320,000 military personnel. Thus, there will not be 1 million soldiers in each district. The Russian Federation ensures its security not at the expense of the personnel of the Armed Forces, but through better and more advanced weapons.

The report is finished.

Opinion by Lt.Col. Oleg Shalandin:

I was asked to comment on the Foreign Policy article “The Shortest Path to Victory in Ukraine Is Through Crimea.” You can read the article here
The general tone of the article suggests that the collective West is not abandoning attempts to continue the conflict, which is mistakenly considered to be a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. No, this is a conflict on a global scale, localized in a very specific territory. And they [the collective West] do not intend to give up the armed struggle, although they are looking for a way out of the impasse of the discrepancy between their desires and their own capabilities.

With the tenacity of a maniac, they talk about the blockade of Crimea. Why do they need Crimea?
The Crimean peninsula is of strategic importance for our defense. Whoever owns Crimea controls the Black Sea. NATO was going to establish a military base in Crimea in 2012-2013 for the same purpose, and the testing of legitimate grounds, even if it would mean they have to include Ukraine in the alliance, began even earlier.

How will this ensure the security of the Ukraine? In no way. Ukraine abandoned its own security, becoming a representative of NATO interests in the post-Soviet space. With of without Crimea - this does not change absolutely a thing in the geopolitical approaches of the West, including their views on the use of Ukraine as an outsource of war.

But I am pleased by the fact that in the West there are voices saying that negotiations are necessary. True, these voices are speaking aloud not from the good will of a desire to end the conflict, but for in need of a break. The West’s confusion between what is desired and reality is very indicative. This means that we are doing everything correctly, that the SMO was calculated correctly, and the approaches to its implementation were correct.

According to my feelings from communicating with foreigners, they have a very favorable attitude towards Russia. True, no one is going to listen to them. But it would be necessary. One of the comments: a prerequisite for joining NATO is to be an idiot.

I believe in the victory of Russian weapons!
The whole world is Russia, and only Kosovo is Serbia!

Q&A by lieutenant colonel Oleg Shalandin part 1 of 2

I have one friend, whose questions are as innumerable, as stars in the Universe. I had the lucky opportunity to pass these questions to Lt.Col. Oleg Shalandin, who was kind enough to provide the answers. Some of the questions may sound a bit naive, but if something like that is asked, than there is a reason for that. Sometimes all of us need a recap.

Here comes Q&A:

Question 1: Can Russia launch a comprehensive nuclear first strike?

Answer.
The use of nuclear weapons by the Russian Federation is determined by the Presidential Decree “On the Fundamentals of State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence.” Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Decree state:
State policy in the field of nuclear deterrence is defensive in nature, aimed at maintaining the potential of nuclear forces at a level sufficient to ensure nuclear deterrence, and guarantees the protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state, deterring a potential enemy from aggression against the Russian Federation and (or) its allies, and in the event of a military conflict - preventing the escalation of hostilities and their cessation on terms acceptable to the Russian Federation and (or) its allies.
The Russian Federation views nuclear weapons solely as a means of deterrence, the use of which is an extreme and forced measure and makes all necessary efforts to reduce the nuclear threat and prevent the aggravation of interstate relations that could provoke military conflicts, including nuclear ones.
One of the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons is aggression against the Russian Federation using conventional weapons, when the very existence of the state is threatened.
Thus, Russia will not launch a comprehensive nuclear strike first, only in response to aggression against it.

Question 2. Why does Russia need an aircraft carrier group?

Answer.
The Russian Navy does not have an aircraft carrier group. We have one ship capable of carrying aircraft (aircraft) for the entire fleet - the Project 1143.5 heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (TAKR) "Admiral Kuznetsov" of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy. However, Kuznetsov does not have launch catapults, which makes it impossible for heavy aircraft to take off, such as carrier-based AWACS aircraft (Russia does not have such aircraft), as well as a small number of carrier-based aircraft - only 26 Su-33. And all this limits the capabilities of combat formation. This ship is designed to support the actions of troops in coastal areas, support the actions of amphibious assault and provide air defense to the naval group. Does the Russian Navy need an aircraft carrier group? This is a matter of discussing views on the conduct of armed warfare at sea.

It’s time to revisit a topic which many found objectionable back when I addressed it in August 2022: How did the West get it so wrong on Russia?

The answer I offered then remains valid today: incompetence shaped by Russophobia.
