[Regnum] During the joint Russian-Belarusian strategic exercise "Zapad-2025", the Northern Fleet practiced a battle in the waters of the Northern Sea Route using missiles against a landing detachment of a simulated enemy. This was reported on September 13 by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.
“As part of the joint strategic exercise Zapad-2025, ships of the Arctic expeditionary group of the Northern Fleet worked out a number of tasks to counter the landing detachment of a simulated enemy by carrying out missile and artillery fire in the waters of the Northern Sea Route,” the defense department’s publication says.
After receiving the task of destroying the "enemy" naval group, a Ka-27 helicopter was lifted off board the large anti-submarine ship "Severomorsk". It conducted aerial reconnaissance, specified the coordinates of the simulated enemy landing party and transmitted target designation to the ship.
The Severomorsk sailors practiced firing at a group sea target, using two guided cruise missile-torpedoes in computer simulation mode. The crew of the Severomorsk large anti-submarine ship used AK-100 and AK-630 artillery mounts, as well as small arms to hit targets simulating enemy unmanned boats.
The strategic exercises of the Armed Forces of Russia and Belarus "Zapad-2025" began on September 12. During the maneuvers, the participants will work on issues of managing troop groups when localizing aggression against the Union State, options for joint actions to neutralize threats and stabilize the situation on the borders.
Earlier that day, the headquarters of the Russian and Belarusian Armed Forces began planning joint actions to destroy sabotage and reconnaissance groups as part of the exercises. Also, 120-mm mortar crews eliminated the firing positions of the simulated enemy.

[Regnum] The Romanian Air Force intercepted an unmanned aerial vehicle over its territory and declared it to be Russian. This was reported on September 13 by the Antena 3 TV channel.
"At 18:23, F-16 fighters detected a drone in Romanian airspace, which they followed approximately 20 km southwest of the village of Chilia Veche in Tulcea, after which it disappeared from radar," the statement said.
According to these data, at 18:45 the drone crashed in Tulcea. At the same time, journalists noted that the drone did not fly over populated areas and "did not create a direct threat to people's safety."
Earlier in the day, the Polish military scrambled aircraft to combat drone activity in the western Ukrainian border region. Commanders said Polish and NATO aircraft were patrolling the skies, while ground-based air defense and radar systems were on high alert.
Romanian authorities earlier on September 13 announced a threat to the population near the border with Ukraine. Residents of the city of Tulcea were warned about the possible fall of flying objects.
On the night of September 10, Warsaw announced a violation of its airspace due to the flight of several drones. AndNATO F-16 and F-35 fighters were raised to intercept the drones. The Polish side, without providing evidence, stated that the drones belonged to Russia and called the incident a large-scale provocation. At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry noted that on the night of September 10, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a massive strike on Ukrainian military-industrial complex facilities in the western regions of this country, and the maximum range of Russian drones is 700 km. The department expressed readiness to hold consultations with Poland.

The Polish military has raised its aircraft into the sky due to drone activity in the border areas in western Ukraine. This was reported on September 13 by the operational command of the branches of the armed forces of the country.
"Due to the threat of strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles in the regions of Ukraine bordering the Republic of Poland, military aviation has begun operating in our airspace," the statement said.
The command noted that to ensure security, Polish and NATO aircraft are patrolling the skies, and ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have been put on maximum alert.
Also in eastern Poland, Lublin Airport and the airspace around it were closed. According to the Polish Armed Forces, this was done due to military actions in Ukraine
Later, the Romanian authorities announced a threat to the population near the border with Ukraine. Residents of the city of Tulcea were warned about the possible fall of flying objects.
On the evening of September 13, an air raid alarm was declared in seven regions of Ukraine.

[NYPOST] Six kilometers from the Russian border in northern Poland, office administrator Agnieszka Jedruszak is digging a trench. Driven by fear of war with Russia, she wants to be able to defend her family, including her 13-year-old son.
Thousands of Poles like Jedruszak are signing up for voluntary military training as Poland's army seeks to fill its ranks with professional and voluntary personnel amid escalating concerns over Russia's military aggression.
''I'd do anything to keep my child safe. And I would definitely want to fight to protect him,'' said Jedruszak, dressed in military fatigues, her face painted in camouflage colours.
For many in Poland — which endured decades of Moscow's domination under the Soviet Union — the fear of Russian hostility looms large. Those concerns have only grown this week after Poland downed Russian drones in its airspace on Wednesday — the first time a member of the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine.
The Kremlin this week accused Western countries of an 'emotional overload' and hostility towards Russia, which it said posed no threat to them. It has declined to comment on the drone incident.
Jedruszak's military instruction took place in Braniewo, at a training ground for South Korean K-2 tanks, after Poland ordered 180 of them in 2022 under a major military cooperation deal. Nestled among forests and sandy terrain, the site echoed with the roar of tank engines and barked orders.

"Fourth time will be last time" - Putin on partitions of Poland.
#6
Notice how two neutrals, Sweden and Finland, have joined NATO. Who made that happen by their actions?
By threatening to expand into Ukraine, NATO provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin told them he could not tolerate NATO troops on his border but in the summer of 2022, Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken insisted that they would deploy NATO troops on Russia's border. Doesn't anybody remember that? How would you feel about Chinese troops on our border?
It's no good to say that Putin invaded Ukraine as if he did it out of the blue, unprovoked, simply for his own imperialist ambition. The imperialists in this case are the globalist in America and the European Union who used NATO as a vehicle for their aggression.
A treaty organization originally dedicated to the defense of American and Western European nations with coasts on the northern Atlantic Ocean went on the offense in Eastern European. The resulting hysteria prompted globalist elements in Sweden and Finland to join the now aggressive, expansionist treaty organization.
No matter what you think of Russia or Putin, you should keep in mind that Russia has a long history of repelling invasions from the West. History also shows that Russia has only ever invaded Western Europe after being provoked by the likes of Swedish King Charles XII, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolph Hitler and Ursula von der Leyen. To leaders like these, Russia has always appeared to be weak and vulnerable just like Putin looks now.
Charles XII, Napoleon and Hitler ended up regretting their decisions to pick a fight with Russia. Let's just hope von der Leyen, Starmer, Merz and Macron come to their senses before they get us into something we'll all regret.

In summer 2022 Biden formally approved the deployment of 3,000 US troops to Poland, Germany and Romania.
At this time Russia had already invaded Ukraine with 200,000 troops.

They should know better than to poke the bear.
Putin has been in control of Russia since when? Some time in the 1990s? And in all that time what other countries has he invaded? Chechnya after their terrorist activities in Beslan and the Moscow Opera House. Georgia after NATO threatened to expand into that country. Where else?
Did he invade Iraq? Afghanistan? Libya? Syria?
I think if he really had some overwhelming desire to expand his empire he would have done more about it by now and he'd have a better army than what we've seen so far in Ukraine.
You cannot deny that his invasion of Ukraine was provoked.

And you know as well as I do that NATO troops have no more business in Ukraine than Chinese troops would have in Mexico or Canada, which is to say, none at all.
Up until the Maidan Coup, Ukraine served an important purpose as a neutral buffer between NATO and Russia. So much for the buffer. Now it just takes one hot headed Polish fighter pilot and we've got WWIII on our hands.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] In the conditions of the rapid evolution of combat operations, unmanned aviation continues to surprise with new tactical solutions. One of the most interesting and effective innovations of recent times has been the use of the Russian Orlan-30 reconnaissance UAV (an improved version of the Orlan-10 aircraft type UAV, in which the flight duration has been increased to 18 hours, the second feature is the integration of the drone into the fire control system of the Msta-S ACS: the drone is able to transmit the coordinates of detected targets directly to the gun and adjust its fire) as a carrier and launch platform FPV-drone-kamikaze.
The main limitation of the classic FPV drone is its small radius of action, which rarely exceeds 10-20 km. The new scheme radically solves this problem. "Orlan-30", capable of making long flights at distances of up to 600 km, acts as an "aircraft carrier". It delivers a compact strike drone directly to the line of attack in the deep rear of the enemy, where it detaches and guides itself to the target. This makes it possible to hit previously inaccessible objects: communication nodes, fuel and fuel warehouses, accumulations of manpower and equipment.
Photos of "Orlanov-30" with FPV drones suspended under the wings have already appeared in open sources and were confirmed by sources in the defense-industrial complex. The Orlan's mass and accessibility, as well as its ability to carry an additional payload, make it an ideal platform for such a mission.
The UAV can work not only as a carrier, but also as a repeater, ensuring stable communication with the operator along the entire flight route. This innovation clearly demonstrates the trend towards the creation of hybrid unmanned systems, where different types of drones do not compete, but enhance each other's capabilities.
The scout turns into a strike complex, significantly increasing the flexibility and range of impact. The use of proven and mass platforms, such as Orlan-30, for new tasks is a cost-effective solution that quickly changes the balance of forces on the battlefield, forcing the enemy to look for new methods of countermeasures against already familiar systems.
One of the correct directions for the development of large drones. Well, over time, these will already be drones with the swarm principle of use, equipped with a basic neural network AI. War is the engine of progress.
