World War 3: Iran sends Russia copies of U.S. stealth drones?

In August 2022, there were reports that Iran is supplying Russia with a stealth Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, also known as a ‘drone’).  This is feasible because, during the U.S. President Barack Obama regime, Iran was able to capture a U.S. stealth drone in 2011, and they successfully reverse engineered it.

Photo showing mass production of Iranian drones, copied from a captured U.S. stealth drone.

It was the current regime of U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior that made the claim that Iran was supplying Russia with the UAVs.  It should be noted that the Biden regime got its information from the Washington Post.  Russian official Dmitry Sergeyevich Peskov says the Washington Post is well known for “information stuffing”.

The Washington Post also claims that Iran sent Russia its Shahed-191 Stealth drone. Video purporting to show Iranian copies of U.S. stealth UAVs in flight:

However, the Biden regime specifically mentioned two Iranian drones; the Mohajer-6 and the Shahed-129, neither of which are considered stealth and they are not copies of the U.S. stealth UAV.

Mohajer (Migrant)-6

The Mohajer (Migrant)-6 is an evolution of a family of UAVs developed specifically by the Revolutionary Guards.  Apparently the Iranian Army has only three of them, while the Revolutionary Guards has at least 50.  It looks like a reduced scale version of the old U.S. OV-10 Bronco observation/close support aircraft.  Reportedly, Venezuela made a deal to build this drone itself.

Shahed (Witness)-129 Second Generation

There are several generations of the Shahed (Witness)-129, and the most recent version looks similar to the U.S. MQ-9 Reaper and the Israeli Hermes 900.

Shahed (Witness)-129 First Generation

The Shahed-129 prototype (and first generation Shaheds) look to be reverse engineered/direct copied from an Israeli Hermes 450 UAV that crashed and was acquired by Iran.  Iran has already exported the Hermes 450 version of their Shahed to Syria, to help fight the Western/NATO instigated Civil War.

Video from 2014, showing first generation Iranian Shahed-129 flying over Syria:

The U.S. stealth drone copy is known as the Saegheh (Thunderbolt).  The U.S. version is the RQ-170 Sentinel. Iran has already evolved their Saegheh into several versions and claims they will be operating at least 50 of them by 2025.  Iran sent Saeghehs to Syria, and Israel claims to have shot one down in 2018.  There is confusion as the Saegheh has also been referred to as the Shahed.

Saegheh (Thunderbolt) Shahed-191

The Shahed-191 is the armed version (two internal weapon bays) of the Saegheh, which can be launched from the back of Toyota pickups.

Iran claims all of its UAVs can carry weapons.

Ukraine Crisis: Slovakia suddenly retires the Fulcrum, at NATO’s behest

Towards the end of August 2022, Slovak MiG-29s made their final military flights during the Slovak International Air Fest over Malacky-Kuchyňa Air Base.  Although they had been recently upgraded with NATO standard equipment, and were expected to be in use until 2035, the Ukraine Crisis resulted in the sudden/hasty retirement of the MiG 29s.

A recent U.S./NATO sponsored air defense agreement between Czech Republic (now known by the wimpy name of Czechia), Poland and Republic of Slovakia, will have Slovak air space defended by Czechia’s Swedish made JAS-39 Gripens and Poland’s U.S. made F-16s, until Slovakia is equipped with U.S. made F-16s (in 2018 Slovakia agreed to buy 14 F-16 Block 70/72 from NATO-United States).

For more proof that the MiG 29 was to be in use for at least another decade, in November 2018 the Slovak government decided to continue operating the MiG 29 until all the expected F-16 Block 70/72s were delivered.  But now, Slovkia’s eleven recently NATO upgraded MiG-29s are just hanging around, waiting for so-called NATO guidance on their fate.

It should be realized that the Czech-o-Slovakia was an artificial country created by the British empire led victors of World War One.  During the lead-up to World War Two, Germany became the so called protectorate of the area of Czechia, while an independent Slovak State was declared.  After that war, the victorious Soviet Union forced the two back together as the Czech-o-Slovakia.

After the unofficial Cold War unofficially ended, former Warsaw Pact member Czech-o-Slovakia split up, into the Czech Republic and Republic of Slovakia.  Slovakia took 24 MiG-29s as part of the divorce from Czechia and as part of payment of debt owed by the former Soviet Union.

In the past few years, Slovakia embarked on a program to convert its military to NATO standards, one of those actions included sending four fighter pilots to the United States to train on F-16 Falcons, in 2020.

Ukraine Crisis? NATO Poland’s new U.S. Army tank academy & more proof U.S. taxpayers controlled by foreigners!

28 August 2022  (13:04-UTC-07 Tango 06) 06 Shahrivar 1401/30 Muharram 1444/02 Wu Shen(8th month) 4720

The newly opened U.S. Army tank academy in NATO Poland is part of Poland’s agreement to purchase (? actually beg, borrow and possibly steal from U.S. taxpayers) the new M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 Battle Tank, and the M1074 Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) bridge-layer version (the M1074 actually being a NATO Italian & Israeli design).  Since the beginning of 2022, news outlets and government officials have repeated stated that the deal is all about confronting Russia in Ukraine, however, Poland’s U.S. directed military expansion officially began in October 2019!

On 25AUG2022, it was revealed that it will cost $1.148-billion just to deliver the tanks to Poland, it is part of the U.S. taxpayer funded Foreign Military Sales program!

The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency specifically states that Foreign Military Sales “May be funded by country national funds or U.S. Government funds.”

The U.S. Army does not use the M1074 JAB operationally (the first JABs were used for testing/evaluation), a version called M1110 JAB is expected to eventually go into service with U.S. forces (production delayed by government Pandemic Panic attack mandates/lockdowns).  NATO Italy’s Leonardo, through its Saint Louis, Missouri, based DRS division, has a contract with Anniston Army Depot, in Alabama, to convert old M1 Abrams tanks to the JAB configuration.  Leonardo is the same company that makes U.S. Air Force’s new Grey Wolf helicopter (it is not made by Boeing, despite industry reports!).  DRS used to be a U.S. owned company, but in 2008 was sold to Italian company Finmeccanica.  Finmeccanica changed its name to Leonardo DRS. In June 2022, Leonardo DRS merged with Israel’s RADA Electronics Industries.

NATO-U.S. Army Abrams Partnership Program promotional video, 10AUG2022, announcing the tank academy:

On 15JUL2022, Poland announced plans to buy (just where is Poland getting this money from?) 116 former U.S. Marine Corps M1A1 tanks.  (See LAST RIDE FOR 1ST, 2ND & 4TH TANK)

In July 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce-International Trade Administration revealed that NATO Poland’s military expansion began in October 2019.  The U.S. Department of Commerce admits to encouraging the government of Poland to buy equipment specifically from the United States, being funded in part with the increased use of massive debt financing.

In May 2022, U.S. Congress members, and U.S. Army officials, expressed a desire to use the new Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act to effectively give Poland the tanks, placing the cost burden on U.S. taxpayers.

The $6-billion 01APR2022 agreement will result in NATO Poland getting 250 M1A2-SEPv3 main battle tanks, 26 M88A2 Hercules recovery vehicles and 17 M1074 JABs.  Does anybody believe that Poland has $6-billion?

The United States military has been increasing its presence in NATO Poland ever since the 15AUG2020 signing of the Poland – United States Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: Kamov 27 Helix

The first look for NATO of a Ka-27, aboard Soviet destroyer Udaloy, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, September 1982.

The first Kamov 27 flew in 1973, beginning naval service by 1982, today at least a dozen countries still use it. NATO calls it the Ka-27 Helix. China and India use the export version known as Ka-28. It is primarily used as an anti-ship weapons platform, but is also used for things like transport and fire fighting. The silly-vilian (civilian) version is Ka-32.

Cold War Boats: Revell’s Spy Trawler is for reals! Or, who told the Soviets about Exercise Teamwork?

A Soviet fishing trawler alongside its ‘mother ship’, U.S. Coast Guard photo, August 1963.

In 1964, NATO navies conducted Exercise Teamwork.  This is interesting because non-military interweb sites (like the wiki-web-sites) claim NATO’s biennial (every other year) Exercise Teamwork didn’t begin until 1982!   The proof that Exercise Teamwork actually started in 1964 comes from the declassification of a once secret NATO document.  That document was a letter of concern regarding how the Soviet Union found out about the wargame, and sent several ‘spy’ fishing trawlers to shadow the NATO navies.

The NATO letter blames it on the main stream U.S. news media, specifically Time magazine, for publishing statements made during a U.S. trial of a spy. But then, there was a journalist working for Time, who was onboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CVA-62) during the wargames, who claimed that somebody in NATO tipped-off the Soviets!

Apparently, NATO’s first Exercise Teamwork, off the coast of NATO Norway, was a diversion from an established NATO wargame called FALLEX (Fall [as in Autumn] Exercise).   A once secret NATO letter discussing FALLEX 62 suggested making changes for the upcoming FALLEX 64.  Apparently, FALLEX 64 became Exercise Teamwork 64, possibly because of what was publicized about the trial of a spy in the United States.

U.S. Navy film, dated 1964 and titled Exercise Teamwork, showing ‘Russian Spy Fishing Trawler’. The smoke stack on this ship is  different than the Revell kit’s stack:

But 1969 is the year the U.S. Navy really took an interest in all the Soviet fishing trawlers hanging around NATO navies, and even off the coast of the United States.

USN film, February 1969, showing Soviet ‘spy’ fishing trawlers operating off the coast of the U.S. state of Virginia, at least three different ships according to the USN info:

On 09APR1969, the USN spied on Soviet Mediterranean fleet operations, near the Rock of Gibraltar, and interestingly among all those big Soviet warships was a lone Soviet fishing trawler (you can see it as the camera pans from warship to warship), I edited for just the trawler scenes:

A May 1969 USN film documenting what was believed to be various Soviet surveillance ships, showing a similar ‘spy trawler’, with a different stack, location not indicated:

Now you know where the tech term phishing originated, Cold War era spy fishing boats, fishing for your country’s military info.

In 1970, model kit company Revell issued its Russian Spy Fishing Trawler Volga. Revell’s spy ship kit seems to combine attributes of all the trawlers seen in the USN films.

Is this the trawler the Revell kit is based on? Image taken from USN film dated February 1969.

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The prototype of the Soviet Tu-16 was the Tu-88, which first flew in Spring 1952, production of the Tu-16 began in December 1952. China still produces its own version.

Silent Soviet films, from 1957, showing-off their new Tupolev 16:

On 25MAY1968, the U.S. Navy (USN) carrier group led by USS Essex CVS-9 was ‘badgered’ by several Soviet aircraft, including variants of the Tu-16, while sailing through the Norwegian Sea.  It ended badly for one hot-shot Badger.

The USN claimed one of the hot-shot Badgers crashed while sea skimming, and USN Sea Kings were dispatched to rescue the Soviet Tu-16 crew.  The silent, and faded, film shows a Tu-16 buzzing USS Essex, then on the horizon can barely be seen the smoke plume of the crashed Badger, other Tu-16s continue to overfly CVS-9:

Unfortunately the Badger crew did not survive, what was recovered by the USN was handed over to a Soviet Kotlin class destroyer with the hull number of 311, which had pulled along side the USS Essex:

After taking on the bodies of the Badger crew, hull number 311 gives a salute with its main guns, and sails away:

How many times has U.S. led NATO sworn that it is not expanding towards Russia? The first ever permanent U.S. military base in NATO Poland now has an official name: Camp Kościuszko.

On 29JUN2022, U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior announced that a once temporary (used for rotational troop deployments) U.S. base in Poland would become permanent (meaning there will be a permanent U.S. military presence), making it the nearest U.S. base, in Europe, to Russia.

On 30JUL2022, a ceremony was held in Poland, announcing a name for the new U.S. base, named after Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish-Lithuanian military officer who joined the American Revolution against the British Empire in June 1776.  After the war that created  the United States, General Kościuszko returned to Poland in August 1784.

“Let me remind you that three types of 155-mm artillery are already working successfully on the front lines: M777 howitzers, FH70 howitzers and CAESAR SPHs. It was simply impossible to imagine this back in March. But today it is already a reality which materialized due to great teamwork led by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.”-Ministry of  Defence of Ukraine propaganda, 28MAY2022, proven by Austrian military academy analysts to be a failure

More proof that United States President Joseph R. Biden Junior has still not delivered on his promise of rocket artillery, like the MLRS and HIMARS, and that artillery gun systems, like the old M109 and newer M777, cannot out distance the Russian systems. In an earlier article it was pointed out that the M777 towed guns were delivered without the equipment that will allow it to fire longer range ammo.

Only NATO Germany’s PanzerHaubite (PzH) 2000, and NATO France’s CAESAR (CAmion Equipé d’un Système d’ARtillerie), are the only artillery systems delivered to Ukraine, so far, that can outrange the Russian systems.  However, the numbers of PzH 2000 and CAESARs promised are just a piddly fraction of what Ukraine needs, and have yet to be delivered.

Video posted 22JUN2022, showing Russian ‘V’ (?, maybe Z) forces using an old-skool Cold War era towed rocket launcher against Ukrainian forces in Ugledar area:

Some NATO countries are sending more artillery systems, but they are the old Soviet era systems, like the 2S1 and 2S3, which do not give Ukraine a tactical advantage.

Music video, posted 09JUN2022, of Cold War era BM-27 220mm Uragan rocket launcher being used by Russian ‘Z’ forces against Ukraine:

Russian ground forces are so not worried about the U.S./NATO artillery ‘support’, that they themselves are using outdated artillery systems against Ukraine. This video was posted on 23JUN2022, showing Russians using Cold War era 152mm towed guns and BM-21 rocket launchers:

Another major problem for the U.S./NATO is that many of the delivered weapon systems (like the Javelin) were captured by Russian forces and are now being used by them against Ukraine!

The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian Federal-army) Theresian Military Academy critiques the U.S./NATO weapon systems being sent to Ukraine, pointing out that the amount are far below what Ukraine actually needs, and Ukrainians are not being properly trained on these weapons, resulting in “no significant effect on the battlefield” for Ukraine:

Austria is not a member of NATO but does take part in NATO’s Partnership for Peace operations.

Why is a P-M of a British Empire member nation inspecting a U.S. military base in Colorado?

“Samuel, notify your men; the British are coming.”-General Oliver Prescott, 19APR1775

“We’re seeing a time where the world is shifting rapidly, whether it’s new threats or new technology, and it’s important to work closely together.”-Justin Pierre James Trudeau, Prime Minister of NATO Canada, 07JUN2022

Canada is a founding member of NATO, and Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations (aka British empire, most Commonwealth of Nations members use an image of the British monarch on their currency). On 07JUN2022, the arrogant (proven by his handling of the anti-mandates Freedom Convoys) Prime Minister of NATO Canada, Justin Pierre James Trudeau, arrived on Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado.

He was in town to inspect the headquarters of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (aka NorAD, Nor=North, A=American or Aerospace[?], D=Defense, and for some reason they leave off the C.  Formerly known as North American Air Defense Command.)  NorAD is a joint operation between Canada and the United States.  Since 1958, NorAD’s purpose is to defend against enemy airborne attacks, mainly from Soviet Union, then so-called terrorists flying airliners, and now Russia.

NorAD’s headquarters, in the U.S. state of Colorado, is also known as Cheyenne Mountain. The last time a Canadian PM visited Cheyenne Mountain was in 1977, and guess who it was, Justin Pierre James Trudeau’s father Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau (aka Pierre Trudeau)!

In May 2022, Canadian officials said they will increase taxpayer spending not only on NorAD, but on NATO as well.

In April 2022, Canadian officials said they are willing to spend CA$1-billion (US$780-million) of their taxpayer’s money to help build NorAD’s new over-the-horizon, Russia facing, radar system in the Arctic region.

U.S. control of NorAD is handled through U.S. Northern Command (USNorthCom).
