Dmitry Medvedev tours a Russian arms plant

Russia is producing weapons at a record pace, and Ukraine’s partners are trying to increase support for Kyiv.
Over the past year, Russia has learned to develop new weapons and ammunition faster than at any time in its modern history, including during the Cold War, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said.
According to him, the Russian Federation managed to quicken weapon production thanks to huge supplies of machine tools, microelectronics and optics, mainly from China.
The Secretary of State emphasised that aid to Russia from China creates two problems at once: it allows the Russian Federation to continue its war against Ukraine and contributes to restoring the Russian defence and industrial base.
Blinken was recently in China to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and told him to desist in supporting Russia’s military production. Beijing has been careful not to transfer any military supplies, but has provided large amounts of other equipment and dual-use components that have significantly increased Russia’s militarised industrial production.
Russia continues to have access to missile, drone components. Military aid for Ukraine is limited, while Russia continues to have access to “critical components needed to produce missiles and drones,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his evening address on April 14.
Chinese supplies and the 5% of GDP Russia is spending on the defence sector is showing up in Russia’s macroeconomic results and giving the economy a military Keynesianism boost. Year-on-year growth in industrial output in February was 8.5% and GDP growth hit 7.7%, according to Russia’s State Statistics Service.
This sharp acceleration (in January, GDP growth was 4.6%) is partly explained by the additional working day of the leap year. “Fundamentally, though, growth is being driven by military spending, which feeds the manufacturing sector and causes abnormal consumer activity,” Renaissance Capital said in a note.
Russia is already producing more arms and military equipment than it needs for its war against Ukraine, and is filling its weapons warehouses, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said, as reported by the German television channel n-tv on April 25.
The Minister of defence of the Russian Federation Serhiy Shoigu said that in 2024, the first samples of the new generation S-500 anti-aircraft missile system in two versions will be delivered to the Russian army, as a drone war between Russia and Ukraine escalates. The S-500 will replace the state of the art S-400 surface to air missiles, Russia’s best air defence technology.
“This year the troops will receive the first samples of the new generation S-500 anti-aircraft missile system in two versions: long-range anti-aircraft missile systems and anti-missile defence systems, S-400, S-300B4 anti-aircraft missile systems, Buk-M3, Tor-M2U, radar stations of the new generation,” Shoigu said. “In order to maintain the pace of the offensive in Ukraine … the quantity and quality of weapons supplies must increase.”
Blinken said he believes that Russia will use this weapon against European countries when it is “done with Ukraine.”
Meanwhile, Latvia has agreed to transfer another package of military aid to Ukraine, which should improve air defence and intelligence capabilities. In particular, Ukraine’s military will receive NBS anti-aircraft installations, tactical unmanned surveillance systems, among other equipment.
The EU still lags behind the US in terms of military aid to Ukraine, study shows. Data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), as reported by European Pravda.
The EU and its member states have allocated a total of €42bn in military aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the war until the end of February 2024, while the US has provided €43.1bn.
In recent months, Europe has almost caught up with the US and is now “on a par in terms of military aid,” explained Christoph Trebesch, head of IfW’s Ukraine Support Tracker. However, Europe has not been able to fill the large gap left by the United States, especially in terms of ammunition.
The European defence sector has been very slow in increasing production capacity. Accordingly, Ukraine received about €6bn in additional EU support in January and February 2024, while an aid package totalling over $60bn was blocked in Congress.
The US is also running up a brick wall when it comes to providing Ukraine with more materiel. Whether it’s artillery shells or Patriot missiles, the US simply doesn’t have the resources to produce and provide even half of what Ukraine says it needs to become on par with Russia in the war, according to US Republican Senator J. D. Vance’s commentary entitled “The Math on Ukraine Doesn’t Add Up,” published recently in The New York Times (NYT).
“Ukraine’s manpower situation is even worse” than the situation with its munitions, according to Vance. Vance then argues that these disparities must inform any future US policy toward the conflict, “from further congressional aid to the diplomatic course set by the president.”
“The Biden administration has no viable plan for the Ukrainians to win this war. The sooner Americans confront this truth, the sooner we can fix this mess and broker for peace,” Vance concludes.

Well, if BLINKEN and the other pathological Fakers want every other Controlled Nation to ‘step up to the plate’ in terms of military support, all HE has to do is shut up and officially declare War against Russia.
He will die before doing that, and he and all his kind will die before they stop engineering the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands of others.
Have been asked to share this – in fact, the Christian Victims of Communism far outnumbered six million even before WW2, and not one single one of the perpetrators has been brought to justice – although the Communists WERE Britain’s Wartime Ally, once the Hitler-Stalin Pact was discarded .
Have been asked to share this – all of us here who are not passive psychopaths and are not responsible for a single human death are complete justified in ‘challenging the narrative’ HOWEVER WE WISH –
‘HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL LONDONISTAN YESTERDAY
Candlelight vigil held for National Holocaust London Commemoration
Holocaust survivors have gathered in central London to light candles and remember the victims of genocide on Holocaust Memorial Day.
a group of nearly 30 survivors and their families stood on the steps of Piccadilly Circus holding flickering candles to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Jewish Holocaust.
The day is also used to remember the millions killed in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
No mention is made of the genocides in Palestine Lebanon Syria Iraq and Libya
The group looked up at the landmark junction’s giant billboard, where portraits of them and fellow survivors were displayed.National landmarks lit up in purple, including the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, the Natural History Museum and Cardiff Castle.A candle was also burning in the window of the Prime Minister’s residence 10 Downing Street.
No mention of the British dead from w w 2 the National Archives gives the figure of 47,760,000, this does not cover those who later died from war injuries.
It is against the law in the UK to racially discriminate, Brish casualties were ignored.
Laura Marks, chair of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, spoke of the suffering of the 6 milion jews
neglecting the fact that that being in the German camps, would make people over 100 years old
Chris Spivey the london tattooist has put numbers on the arms of jews in the 40s and 50s, this makes a mockery of the whole thing.
During a special ceremony in Westminster to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle urged people to call out intolerance and work together to build a “happier future”.“We are calling out hatred, racism, intolerance, because we believe that we shouldn’t forget six million lives that were persecuted and ended up in the gas ovens
Labour spokesman Murbad Singh said Jews to ally criticism of the Palesltinian genocide were again playing the holocaust card’
When all else fails:
🇺🇲Make The Cavalry Great Again! Bring back Custer!!🇺🇲
Putin has apparently ordered tactical nuke drills to be carried out near the UKrainian border. The use of TNs is a bit more complicated than a full launch.
Targeting, and the weather play a big roll in where and when they are used.
Dmitry Peskov has said ‘we’re in a new, higher phase of escalation’. This after more Nazi threats from the usual sect suspects who don’t believe Russia has the balls to use nukes.
If Putin doesn’t do it, then someone else will.
The Nazis game is simple, winner takes it all, or there will be nothing left. Putin has a similar position. ‘If Russia can’t be a free active member of the global community, then there won’t be a world without Russia’.
Given this probably fake story about Israel sending just one F35 to nuke Iran, the Iranians must be assembling nuke components to the point they can be finally put together in very short order.
jews have over played the holocaust card too many times now
its like the government and stephen lawrence
and the we ned the migrants for the jobs card
we are sick of card playing
get real
Yep, just more machinery being produced by the Commies to waste more white men with. And notice all the commies & idiots on here supporting it. Welcome to Whiteocide.
Look at the photo..the Yid Medvedev is inspecting the tank to make sure the Commie Red Star is on it…’this will liquidate at least a dozen white men’, you can just imagine these Zid-Commie ghouls like Medvedev & Putin thinking
Mosley:
We need fascism to return to Britain. My mother was a member of the BUF. She told me they prayed each day for Hitler to invade & free Oswald so he could rule Britain and remove the Jews from England .Do you know if the Admin of this site is a Putintard too?

Not that I’m particularly convinced by any of this.. but it is amusing..
according to this screed…apparently the West having financialised to further line it’s geriatric EL-itists pockets, outsourced widget production to wang chang dog eaters, and now finds itself in a bit of bother and a bit low on widgets… and the places and imbeciles to create them.. having outsourced widget production to mutt munchers in the wang chang red empire..which is supremely ironic and a good yarn…
..of course the chinks supply both sides…. in fact they actually supply weapons to the Ukraine..not CNC machines… and like the turks are actually building factories over there…
That’s what I call multipolar…or is that bi-polar, like the imbeciles that believe this guff..
Of course some bright spark will probably quip ..’give a man a fish and he will eat for a day..give a man a net and teach him to fish, he will eat every day’..
which by the way is a chinese proverb..according to the chinky chowing yenta that popularised it… and no doubt was discovered in some stale dysentery laced fortune cookie in some Noo Yoyk oriental diner… along with the rest of what passes for yankee foreign policy… and Russkie gangster fuck ups…
