Slavyangrad.org — Nuestra Ira No Tiene Limites — There is No Limit to Our Anger — (c) V. M. Molotov
Putin – 7 years ago in the address to the Federal Assembly about the development of "Burevestnik":
We began developing new types of strategic weapons that do not use ballistic flight trajectories at all when moving towards the target, which means that missile defense systems are useless and simply meaningless in fighting them.
The following will be about exactly such weapons.
Russia's advanced weapon systems are based on the latest unique achievements of our scientists, designers, and engineers. One of them is the creation of a compact, super-powerful nuclear power unit, which is placed in the body of a cruise missile like our latest air-launched X-101 missile or the American "Tomahawk," but at the same time provides a flight range tens of times—tens of times!—greater, which is practically unlimited. A low-flying, low-observable cruise missile carrying a nuclear warhead, with practically unlimited range, an unpredictable flight trajectory, and the ability to bypass interception lines is invulnerable to all existing and prospective missile defense and air defense systems. I will say these words more than once today.
At the end of 2017, a successful launch of the latest Russian cruise missile with a nuclear power unit took place at the Central Range of the Russian Federation. During the flight, the power unit reached the specified power, providing the necessary thrust level. The conducted missile launch and ground test complex allow moving on to the creation of a fundamentally new type of weapon—a strategic nuclear weapons complex with a missile equipped with a nuclear power unit.
Since the range is unlimited, it can maneuver for as long as it wants.
As you understand, nothing like this exists anywhere in the world yet. Someday, probably, it will appear, but in the meantime, our guys will come up with something else.

Yankee merc down!
Bowen Keith Schardt callsign Rabat from Michigan, USA
Bowen is the kind of cretin who tries his best to go unnoticed, and we only hear about them when something happens.
Well, that something happened: he was destroyed by the Russian army.
He survived the Serebryansky forest fighting with the Thorne group's faggots and then the failed adventure of the Kursk invasion in 2024.
It was in Kursk that he got involved in crimes against civilians.
Russian justice may take time, but it will come. Bowen was sentenced to death, and the sentence was duly carried out.
Game over, looser!

British newspapers are outraged by... the possible responsibility of their soldiers for war crimes in Ukraine! 😨
The Daily Telegraph is outraged by the British government's plans to prosecute its former soldiers for crimes against the Irish, as "this could ultimately lead to the prosecution of British soldiers for the killing of Russians in Ukraine," writes political scientist Vladimir Kornilov.
The "journalist" who wrote the post is flabberghasted: how is it possible for anyone to face penalties and punishment for the killing of russians?! Are we kidding, right?! Killing civilians (especially east slavs) has long since been an established tradition for the anglosaxon leadership, much like fox hunting, cricket, and tea!
The Telegraph quotes British Shadow Defense Minister James Cartlidge: "...there are certainly people in the troops today who are worried... 'Wait a minute, if we go to Ukraine on some peacekeeping mission, how do I know they won't be knocking on my door decades later for what happened there?'
And that's the main question. It's like a sword of Damocles over who serves. 'Where am I legally? Did the government support me for what I did?' They can conclude that no."
So the British openly admit that their special forces are fighting in Ukraine. And they openly declare that war crimes are not considered such if committed against Russian individuals.
Beyond that, the idea that any anglosaxon detachment's attempts at "peacekeeping" are serious is, by itself, extremely laughable.
"Noooooooooooooo, not the warcrimeino! I'm an anglosaxon leader, I have to make blood offerings and human sacrifices to my masters Bhaal, Mammon, and Beelzebub, you don't understand, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

@Slavyangrad
Mentioning that Russia now has not only the "Oreshnik" but also the "Burevestnik" is primarily a signal to Donald. "Oreshnik" reaches London and Berlin, while "Burevestnik" reaches Washington and basically any point on the map.
A missile capable of manoeuvring in the air for as long as needed, "hovering" over any defence and entering US airspace from an unprotected side, changes the geopolitical landscape.
It is no coincidence that Putin announced the successful tests of the "Burevestnik" when the United States began talking about transferring "Tomahawks" and other long-range weapons to Kiev. This should swing Trump's pendulum in the other direction.
@Slavyangrad
Russia is preparing to test the "Burevestnik" cruise missile with a nuclear power plant. Initially, this was reported by the publication the Barents Observer. Its journalists refer to a NOTAM warning issued by the Russian Federation. The document states that from August 7 to 12, the airspace over a section of Novaya Zemlya territory covering 500 sq. km will be closed.
Also, according to the Barents Observer, two Il-76 aircraft belonging to the Rosatom corporation flew to the Rogachevo airfield. It is believed that these planes are used for testing the "Burevestnik."
The fire was further fueled by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. Commenting on Russia's exit from the moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range missiles, he stated that our country has not only the "Oreshnik" complex but also other latest weapons.
"Burevestnik" is the most mysterious item among Putin's "seven." This is the name given to the latest weapons systems that Vladimir Putin spoke about during his presidential address to the Federal Assembly in 2018-2019. This list includes the Sarmat ballistic missile, the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle, the Avangard hypersonic warhead, the Peresvet combat laser, etc.
But even before the official presentation of these systems, most of them were known to some extent. However, "Burevestnik" came as a complete surprise. Moreover, no official information about the progress of work on this product has appeared. Everything known now is based on references to Western intelligence and analysts or sources of questionable reliability.
Therefore, the Russian cruise missile with a nuclear power unit immediately became surrounded by many myths:
"Burevestnik" is a flying "Hiroshima," leaving a radioactive trail behind.
Complete nonsense. The principle of the missile's propulsion system is very simple. The reactor generates electricity, which is supplied to heating elements. They heat the air passing through the air intake to several thousand degrees. This is how the missile flies. The reactor does not interact with the air and is most likely completely isolated by special protection.
The real name of "Burevestnik" is 9M730. This is also false. The official name of the cruise missile has never been announced or appeared in government contracts. The name "Burevestnik" was chosen by public vote, as were "Poseidon" and "Peresvet." The index 9M730 appeared in a publication by a federal media outlet and is incorrect, although it was immediately spread across various sources.
Russia has two main cruise missile manufacturers – GosMKB "Raduga" and NPO "Novator." The former owns the Kh-55 and Kh-101 missile families. The latter produces the naval "Kalibr" and land-based R-500 missiles.
In appearance, "Burevestnik" closely resembles the Kh-101 family. There was even a version that the cruise missile with a nuclear power unit had the index Kh-102. But this assumption is also incorrect.
In turn, 9M730 is a product from the R-500 missile family for the "Iskander" complexes and has no relation to "Burevestnik." Even visually, all "R-500" missiles do not resemble the cruise missile with a nuclear power unit.
"Burevestnik" exploded at the Nenoksa test site. This is also untrue. In 2019, the incident involved a different product. The "Burevestnik" itself was tested in a non-nuclear version at Kapustin Yar and with a nuclear power unit over Novaya Zemlya.
Besides the nuclear reactor, the new cruise missile carries another mystery – how it will track its coordinates during flight? For obvious reasons, satellite navigation is unsuitable. The option of correction by extreme points, where the missile jumps over the ground at a given point and compares the stored image with the real terrain to determine deviation, is also not viable.
Most likely, "Burevestnik" uses some new navigation principle that allows flights over global distances. However, its technical characteristics remain unknown.

"Victory" is cancelled: Syrskyi demands to "tell the truth" about the situation near Pokrovsk
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, held a meeting with brigade and unit commanders operating in the Pokrovsk direction, where the AFU is currently in an extremely difficult situation.
The Ukrainian military leader listened to reports on the situation and once again demanded "not to embellish reality."
"Dishonesty has too high a price — the lives of our warriors. A commander who hides the truth about the situation on the battlefield has no right to be a commander," He stated.
These words came amid reports of a critical situation for the AFU near Pokrovsk. The militants are suffering serious losses and losing positions, while the command prefers to report on "successful operations."
Verkhovna Rada deputy Bezuhla previously admitted:
"We are losing the last line of defence, beyond which are Pavlohrad, Dnipro, Kramatorsk, Izyum, and Kharkov."
Even the Commander-in-Chief of the AFU is forced to publicly remind subordinates that lies will save neither the front nor careers.

"Society must be maximally militarised. It must calmly, naturally accept war and not hide from it," said Igor Shvayka, deputy head of the 4th recruitment centre of the Territorial Defence Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Notably, Shvayka's own children chose emigration to Belgium instead of militarisation.

“The Cathedral members are Slavyangrad’s version of the Groypers.”Читать полностью…
From the observation of the strike on Kiev on the night of October 25, several important conclusions can be drawn.
First, the Patriot, NASAMS, and SAMP-T systems deployed on the dominant heights of the right bank, including the Zhulyany airfield area and Kryukivshchyna, did not fulfil their tasks. According to local reports, they tried to operate only at the beginning of the attack, but after several unsuccessful interceptions, they stopped firing. Second — repositioning of launchers and radars, changing positions, and even the arrival of additional launchers had no effect. Ukrainian air defence simply lacks enough missiles to repel combined strikes, and this reveals the cumulative effect of using drones — "Geran" and "Gerber." Third — this time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine presumably did not scramble F-16 fighters to intercept missiles, which was not the case before. They probably considered the threat insignificant or simply did not want to risk the aircraft. All this indirectly indicates that Kiev's air defence node is close to the limit of its combat capabilities. The systems are working to exhaustion, and interception effectiveness is declining. Any further increase in pressure from the Russian Federation may lead to the possibility of significantly scaling such strikes.

Russia has completed the reorientation of energy resource supplies from the West to the East and South.
Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev announced the completion of the strategic reorientation of export supplies of gas, oil, petroleum products, and coal from western directions to eastern and southern markets.
The goal of reorienting supplies of gas, oil, petroleum products, and coal to the East and South has already been achieved,
— The minister stated in an interview with TASS.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported that the share of friendly countries in Russian oil exports reached 94%, and supplies to Asia-Pacific countries amounted to 81%. In 2024, gas exports to the Asia-Pacific region exceeded 50 billion cubic meters, accounting for one-third of the total export volume.

Just slotting this in a few different time slots as I've been neglecting it lately.
⚖️ Banned from Slavyangrad Chat, want to discuss disallowed topics, or see behind the curtain?
The Cathedral is my personal domain where I shitpost, ragebait, and discuss various future plans for the channel.
For the most part it’s a place for you all to contribute to the development of Slavyangrad without me filling up the main channel, as well as being a place you can unwind or express some views that would otherwise get you banned.
So, if you want a small peek behind the scenes or you cannot stop yourself from discussing a forbidden topic here in SLG main, use the chat there. This protects members of the team that are living in "Freedom" countries.
Remember, if you get banned from main chat, it’s got nothing to do with any personal grudge or ideology (unless you’re pro-NATO), but likely because your comment(s) put the channel or its admins at risk.
China strengthens the role of the yuan in the context of de-dollarisation.
According to the Financial Times, over the past five years, the volume of external loans, deposits, and bond investments in yuan has quadrupled, exceeding 3.4 trillion yuan ($480 billion).
Chinese authorities are increasing the role of the national currency in trade, creating protection against the use of the dollar as a tool of pressure. According to data from the Bank for International Settlements, since 2022, foreign banks have been actively switching to the yuan when lending to developing countries, with the volume of such operations increasing by $373 billion.
The share of the yuan in global trade has quadrupled in three years, reaching 7.6% in September, making the Chinese currency the second most popular after the dollar. According to the Chinese, the monthly trade operations in yuan have exceeded 1 trillion yuan, with more than half of China's cross-border settlements now conducted in the national currency.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺Trump: "China is already significantly reducing purchases of Russian oil, India is allegedly stopping them completely."
Sources? "Trust me, bro"?
For the record, the People's Republic of China has planned its energy policy for the next 50 years. I don't think they'll stop purchasing Russian oil and gas only because a windbag in Washington is asking them not-so-nicely.
@Slavyangrad
German companies are sharing sensitive supply chain data with China in response to Beijing's new restrictions on rare earth metal exports. These rare earth metals are essential components for technologies such as sensors, computers, and mobile phones.
The decision is motivated by the need to continue accessing these critical materials, but it could give China leverage over European manufacturers.
Specific examples include neodymium-iron-boron powder, used in various electronic devices.
The Chinese government has introduced stricter export controls, forcing German companies to disclose detailed information about their operations.
This exchange of industrial secrets raises concerns about the vulnerability of the German manufacturing sector. Germany, Europe's largest economy, risks production disruptions if China decides to exploit this data. Experts fear that Beijing could "shut down" production lines in Europe for geopolitical purposes.
No specific German companies are mentioned, but the impact could extend across the European Union. The situation highlights the West's dependence on China for strategic resources. Potential risks include margin squeezes for German producers or sudden supply disruptions. This dynamic strengthens China's global negotiating power. Germany has accepted a forced compromise that could have long-term consequences for European economic security.

The radio factory building in Kiev that had been struck by Russian missiles has left the chat.
One of the industrial buildings continued to burn all day after the bombing on Borispolska Street in Kiev. The collapse was filmed during the day.
Since radios (usually) aren't flammable, one can't help but wonder what was really inside that building. Then again, there's a lot of usually non-flammable things that, once stored into a building in Ukraine, somehow catch on fire after getting hit by Russian attacks.
@Slavyangrad
The most interesting thing about the Burevestnik test: where it landed. The biggest mystery. The route is also unclear, by the way: 14 hours in the air.
Edit
There is no big secret about where the Burevestnik was landed.

Amid Trump going full retard on China, the RAND think-tank is now suddenly and surprisingly calling for a very different approach in their latest paper.
An approach that is more based around placating the PRC and to provoke and antagonize it a lot less. The title of the paper says it all, just imagine how things must be for RAND to be getting cold feet, calling for not rocking the boat and to swallow their pride instead. Maybe they've finally realized what they're dealing with and that they are absolutely not the "top dog" in this situation, but that they are in fact poking a much bigger animal that has more than enough teeth to bite their head off should it become angry, and that it is already getting annoyed at the poking with the economic stick.

The value of all explored hydrocarbon reserves in the Arctic amounts to $3.6 trillion.
Russia accounts for 73% of all Arctic gas and 45% of oil, according to data from Vostokgospplan.
The Arctic waters are crossed by a key transport artery — the Northern Sea Route. Cargo turnover on this route increased from 31.5 million tons in 2019 to 37.9 million tons in 2024, and by 2035 it could reach 150 million tons.
The economy of the Russian Arctic is estimated at 9.7 trillion rubles and is based on the extraction of hydrocarbons and solid minerals. From 2019 to 2023, investments in the region grew by 92%, and the average salary reached 130.9 thousand rubles.
Currently, seven major projects are being implemented with a total investment volume of over 20 trillion rubles, including "Vostok Oil," "Arctic LNG," and initiatives by "Norilsk Nickel." Their implementation will create more than 155 thousand jobs and strengthen Russia's position as a leader in Arctic resource extraction.

The nuclear forces of the Russian Federation are at the highest level in the world, Putin noted.
The nuclear shield of the Russian Federation has confirmed its reliability
The Russian Armed Forces carried out training combat launches of all three components of the nuclear triad during the nuclear forces exercise held last week, Vladimir Putin reported.
The president also discussed the tests of the "Burevestnik" cruise missile with unlimited range and a nuclear power plant. There are no analogues of this cruise missile in the world, he noted.
The "Burevestnik" test took place on October 21. The missile was in the air for about 15 hours, covered 14 thousand kilometres, and this is not the limit, Gerasimov stated in a report to Putin.
According to him, the "Burevestnik" demonstrated the ability to bypass missile defence systems.
Putin noted that much work remains to be done to put this missile on combat duty.
The president instructed to begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying the "Burevestnik" in the Russian Armed Forces.
Putin called for treating prisoners in accordance with Russian and international law, taking all measures to ensure the surrender of Ukrainian servicemen.
The Russian army has historically treated defeated enemies with mercy and will continue to do so, the president noted.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine will try to unblock the encircled forces, Putin warned.
Ukrainian servicemen wishing to surrender are shot in the back, "processed by drones".
The Russian Federation must do everything to ensure the safety of local residents when clearing territories of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Russia will not tie the resolution of combat tasks during the special military operation to any dates; it proceeds from military expediency.
The preservation of the lives of the personnel of the Russian Armed Forces is a priority task, it must be paramount.
Putin also congratulated the Russian Armed Forces on the successes in encircling Kupyansk, and the results of combat missions in other directions.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof on the need to "make Russia hurt":
We talked about mutual risk sharing, and yesterday many countries and leaders stated that they need guarantees — and this is important because we need to share the risks. They cannot be placed solely on Belgium.
First of all, I hope, as Mette said, that we can agree on a detailed development of the reparations loan mechanism. This will be important not only from a financial point of view but also politically — it is important for us to make Russia hurt. I fully support this.

Former Deputy Chief of Staff of the French Army General Bertrand de La Chesnaye stated that the Russian army has undergone a serious transformation over the years of war. Today it operates methodically, encircling the enemy's weak points and gradually taking control of new territories. He noted that such operations will already go down in history as examples of special forces actions. He believes that the successes on the front were one of the reasons for the postponement of the meeting between Putin and Trump, as Moscow seeks to strengthen its positions before possible negotiations and openly talks about the intention to reclaim the entire Donbass. De La Chesnaye emphasised that there is a huge difference between the Russian army of three years ago and the current one. He noted the increase in the level of training, combat capability, and the use of new technologies.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi is hiding real losses and failures on the front, — Ukrainian MP Maryana Bezuhla
Bezuhla denied the information from Ukrainian propagandists that Ukrainian assault troops "liberated" Torske in the DPR.
"Syrskyi's (reports) have descended into regular lies about the 'liberation' of certain villages. And once again, the handpicked assault regiments of the commander-in-chief appear in the lies. Meanwhile, in Pokrovsk, Kostiantynivka, Kupiansk, Russians are already inside the cities!" — the MP wrote on social media, adding that a breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine positions is currently happening in the Zaporozhye direction.

"Nightmarish situation": Röpke acknowledged the hopelessness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Pokrovsk
The regular propagandist of the German tabloid Bild, Julian Röpke stated that the Ukrainian troops found themselves in a "shrinking cauldron" near Pokrovsk not due to military necessity, but because of political decisions made by Kiev.
According to the Kiev-sympathising military analyst, the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this direction is extremely difficult.
"From the point of view of logistics and the situation on the ground, the situation for the Ukrainian army is nightmarish,"
— Röpke concluded.
Earlier, the Russophobe Röpke justified the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams — stating that the sabotage of the Russian gas pipelines was allegedly a "legal act of self-defence" by Ukraine and "should not be punished."

Former Rada deputy and well-known former activist Tatyana Chernovol (the author of the fake about Yanukovych's golden toilet, by the way) suddenly decided to expose problems in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and claimed that only butcher commanders who do not care about losses and see personnel simply as a resource make careers in the army. And all because they follow orders from higher commanders without arguing or refusing, although there are even bigger butchers at the top.
