Russian and Ukrainian troops confronted off in a tense stand-off at a key naval chokepoint off the disputed Crimea peninsula on Sunday, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of blocking the passage of three of its warships and after capturing them.
By that point Ukrainian armed forces have been positioned on a full alert amid state of affairs within the Kerch Strait and the assault on Ukrainian warships.
“Following the choice of the Nationwide Safety and Defence Council of Ukraine in regards to the implementation of the martial legislation, Chief of Common Employees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has ordered to put the AFU models on full alert,” mentioned in a press release of Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
The Nationwide Safety and Protection Council (NSDC ) of Ukraine underneath the chairmanship of President Petro Poroshenko permitted the choice to supply the President of Ukraine the introduction of a martial legislation for a interval of 60 days. The NSDC considers it essential to introduce a particular authorized regime in Ukraine to be able to create situations for repelling armed aggression and making certain nationwide safety, eliminating threats to independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

США отрабатывают нанесение ядерных ударов по России
Dictatorship USA – Run By A Plundering and Murderous Ruling Class  — 2019 (268)
Сразу три ядерных бомбардировщика B-52H ВВС США замечены у границ России
REGNUM 25.03.2019
Бомбардировщики отрабатывают нанесение ядерных ударов по территории России.
У границ Российской Федерации на Северо-Западе были замечены сразу три стратегических бомбардировщика Boeing B-52H Stratofortress ВВС США. Об этом сегодня, 25 марта, сообщает мониторинговый ресурс Plane Radar.
Утром 25 марта два B-52H поднялись в воздух с авиабазы «Файрфорд» в Великобритании, облетели Калининградскую область, зашли в воздушное пространство стран Прибалтики и приблизились к сухопутным границам Ленинградской области. Затем самолеты вернулись на аэродромы базирования. Бомбардировщики летели на высоте около 3 тыс. метров.
Примерно в это же время, ещё один B-52H вылетел с британской авиабазы «Милденхорн» и подлетел к Калининградской области для отработки ядерного удара по Балтийску — базе Балтийского флота Российской Федерации в Калининградской области. При этом данный B-52H сопровождали самолет радиоэлектронной разведки ВВС США Boeing RC-135V Rivet Joint.
За последнюю неделю американские B-52H, переброшенные в Великобританию, уже несколько раз отрабатывали нанесение ядерных ударов по Калининградской области и Санкт-Петербургу.

Lockheed L-100-30 cargo aircraft linked to the Central Intelligence Agency appears to have landed in Venezuela's capital Caracas amid an increasingly severe political and economic crisis that threatens to bring down the regime of President Nicolas Maduro. The aircraft's arrival follows U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's decision to withdraw all remaining American diplomatic personnel from the country, raising concerns that the United States may be preparing for a military intervention on behalf of Juan Guaido, the President of the country’s National Assembly, who has challenged Maduro's authority. Individuals online using flight tracking software first noticed the L-100-30, a civilian variant of the C-130 Hercules, which carries the U.S. civil registration code N3867X, heading out into the Caribbean Sea around 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Two and half hours later, the plane began descending toward Caracas. The aircraft had left Venezuela by around 1:20 PM. MADURO DONS TANKER HELMET AND RIDES AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE IN CHEESY SHOW OF STRENGTH By Joseph Trevithick Posted in THE WAR ZONE RUSSIAN MERCENARIES REPORTEDLY DESCEND ON VENEZUELA TO HELP PROTECT MADURO'S REGIME By Joseph Trevithick Posted in THE WAR ZONE IF THE U.S. HAS TO PULL ITS DIPLOMATS OUT OF VENEZUELA, HERE'S HOW THEY WOULD DO IT By Joseph Trevithick Posted in THE WAR ZONE SHADOWY CIA-LINKED SPY PLANE MAY BE SCOURING THE SEA FOR NORTH KOREAN SANCTION BUSTING By Joseph Trevithick Posted in THE WAR ZONE THIS GHOST OF A HELICOPTER LIKELY HAD A SECRET ROLE IN REAGAN’S ‘TEAR DOWN THIS WALL’ SPEECH By Joseph Trevithick Posted in THE WAR ZONE N3867X's registration is tied to an entity called T3D&H LLC, based Wilmington, Delaware, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). T3D&H is widely understood to be a front for Florida-headquartered Tepper Aviation, which has long-standing ties to the CIA. In 1989, media reports said that Tepper had become involved in the Agency's efforts to support rebels in Angola, commonly referred to by their group's Portuguese acronym UNITA, as well as taking part in transporting cargo linked to the Iran-Contra scandal. That same year, another one of the company's L-100s, N9205T, crashed in Angola, killing Bud Petty, the firm's owner at the time, as well as another American, two West Germans, a British national, and multiple UNITA members. The aircraft was reportedly also carrying a shipment of weapons at the time. More recently, media reports have linked Tepper to the U.S. government's extraordinary rendition program. FAA records show that T3D&H only officially took ownership of N3867X specifically in 2006, after acquiring it from South Africa's Safair. What the plane, which presently flies in an overall light gray scheme with virtually no markings, was doing in Venezuela is unclear. At the time of writing, the Central Intelligence Agency has not yet responded to our queries about the flight. One possibility is that the aircraft could have been supporting the departure of American personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas. "The U.S. will withdraw all remaining personnel from @usembassyve this week," U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Tweeted out late on Mar. 11, 2019. "This decision reflects the deteriorating situation in #Venezuela as well as the conclusion that the presence of U.S. diplomatic staff at the embassy has become a constraint on U.S. policy." At 1:30 PM on Mar. 14, 2019, as N3867X headed away from Venezuela, Pompeo Tweeted out again that all American diplomatic staff had left the country. There had also been an indication that the U.S. government had hired a Boeing 737 belonging to Kalitta Charters for this purpose. This same plane, with the US registration code N331CK, had retrieved U.S. diplomatic personnel from Moscow in 2018 in the aftermath of the Russian attempt to assassinate former intelligence officer Sergei Skripal in the United Kingdom with a nerve agent. The CIA has historically operated from within American diplomatic sites or from facilities relatively close by. Regardless, the Agency could be withdrawing its own staff, or a portion thereof, to coincide with the State Department's decision. At present, State remains the lead agency responsible for determining the risks to all U.S. government personnel and other nationals in Venezuela, something you can read about in more depth here. The other possibility is that the CIA could be bringing in additional personnel, equipment, and supplies to bolster its own presence in the country. A combination of poorly maintained infrastructure and sanctions led to a major nation-wide blackout that resulted in looting, a further erosion of basic services in the country, and numerous deaths. Any American facilities in the country would have their own backup power supplies, but would need fuel to power those generators. The CIA could also have determined there was a need for additional security at any sites it is still operating, especially with the departure of State's personnel. Still, it would be hard for the Agency to continue its activities at all without diplomatic cover. This, combined with the exact timing of the Tepper Aviation flight, much more strongly suggests that the plane's presence was related to withdrawing CIA personnel and assets, not inserting them. But whatever N3867X was doing in Venezuela, it trip is certain to turn heads both in that country and elsewhere. On Feb. 7, 2019, Venezuelan authorities claimed they had seized a shipment of weapons and other equipment that had come into the city of Valencia, situated less than 100 miles west of Caracas, on a Boeing 767, with the U.S. civil registration code N881YV, from Miami. There is no hard evidence that the guns and other items were actually on this aircraft. North Carolina-headquartered 21 Air, which owns the plane, as well as GPS-Air, the company that chartered the aircraft, both subsequently denied being aware of any such cargo on board, oddly phrased statements that have only prompted more speculation about the incident. It's worth noting that 21 Air's chairman, as well as its director of quality control, have ties to a separate firm known as Gemini Air Cargo, according to a report from McClatchy. Like Tepper Aviation, advocacy groups have linked Gemini to the CIA and the U.S. government's extraordinary rendition program. What's even more curious is that records from online flight trackers show that N881YV only began making regular flights to Valencia in January 2019 and that these activities stopped, at least according to publicly available information, immediately after the purported discovery of the weapons shipment the next month. GPS-Air was the only company chartering the plane to fly to Venezula in this period, according to statements that 21 Air gave to McClatchy. Even more bizarre, 21 Air's second aircraft, another Boeing 767 with the registration N999YV, appeared on the Dutch island of Curaçao, where the U.S. military also has a forward operating location, on Feb. 21, 2019, reportedly taking on humanitarian aid bound for Venezuela. But there's no record in multiple flight tracking databases that this plane was ever there, according to Canada-based independent plane and ship watcher Steffan Watkins, who has been researching these flights in depth and keeping close tabs on the general situation. In fact, he's found that there's no record of this plane flying anywhere recently. Of course, none of this is hard evidence of CIA-linked activities aimed at unseating Maduro or otherwise helping Gauido officially assume power in Venezuela. Even before the opposition leader declared himself Interim President and received formal recognition from the United States and numerous countries in South America, Maduro had routinely accused the U.S. government, and the CIA specifically, without offering any proof, of seeking to undermine and overthrow his regime. Maduro notably blamed the United States, as well as Colombia, for an assassination attempt involving a pair of explosive laden drones in August 2018. He also said that "high-tech" capabilities that "only the U.S. government has in the world," a likely reference to reported American cyber warfare tools, were responsible for bringing down the country's electricity grid. The United States has categorically denied being involved in either the assassination attempt or the blackout. Since the crisis of leadership between Maduro and Guaido erupted in January 2019, there has also been no shortage of curious aviation activities in Venezuela and elsewhere in the region, as countries conduct shuttle diplomacy and private companies and other interests look to secure their assets and personnel. There have been numerous reports that Maduro has been trying to sell off large amounts of gold from the country's national reserves to keep bank rolling his regime amid increasing international pressure, or just simply for his own personal enrichment. But the activities of 21 Air's 767s, and now the appearance of the Tepper Aviation L-100-30, do come amid mounting concerns that the United States is moving closer to launching an armed intervention into Venezuela. Though it was not clear initially that this was the case, it has become obvious that, since February 2019, U.S. Air Force RC-135V/W Rivet Joint spy planes have been monitoring at least some portion of Venezuela while flying orbits off the northeastern coast of the country with increasing regularity. At least one U.S. Navy EP-3E Aries II has flown in the same area. The RC-135V/Ws and EP-3Es are both capable signals intelligence platforms capable of detecting and geo-locating various "emitters," such as radios and radars, and intercepting those transmissions. This allows the aircraft to collect and analyze communications chatter, as well as help build a so-called "electronic order of battle" of enemy air defenses based on the position of radars and other assets. You can read more about the capabilities of these planes in depth here and here. Pompeo's comment that the continued presence of American diplomatic personnel was a "constraint" on American policy could indicate that keeping the U.S. Embassy open was seen as adding unnecessary risks to potential military operations. Venezuela security forces might have sought to seize the Embassy compound and take Americans hostages to stymie any intervention. The State Department has now said that it will hold Maduro and security forces loyal to him personally responsible for the safety of any American citizens still in the country. GOOGLE EARTH A satellite image of the US Embassy compound in Caracas. In January 2019, National Security Advisor John Bolton had stoked similar fears about an impending military operation when reporters noticed him carrying a pad of paper with the note "5,000 troops to Colombia." It remains unclear what this note was referring to at all. U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to appoint Elliott Abrams as U.S. Special Representative for Venezuela has only prompted more speculation. As Assistant Secretary of State, Abrams was directly involved in controversial American activities in Latin America during the 1980s and was also convicted of crimes relating to the Iran-Contra Scandal. President George H.W. Bush later pardoned him. On Mar. 12, 2019, Abrams told reporters that "all options" remained on the table for how the U.S. government might proceed in regards to the crisis in Venezuela. At the same time, the extent of clear U.S. military activities related to the crisis in Venezuela has been intelligence gathering and the use of Air Force transport planes to deliver humanitarian aid to staging sites in neighboring Colombia. There has been no clear evidence any major American troop build up linked to an actual military intervention. USAF US military personnel unload humanitarian aid from an Air Force C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft in Cucuta, Colombia in February 2019. It remains to be seen whether N3867X's sudden appearance in the country, or the departure of the remaining State Department personnel, is any indicator that American policy might be shifting in a new direction. We will definitely be keeping an eye out for any new developments.

It should come as no surprise, then, that so many RJs were on the air near Russia on Monday and Tuesday. The Kremlin in recent months has organized 100,000 soldiers and 1,200 tanks near Ukraine, a broad mobilization that observers fear will be a sign of an approaching war.
Russia and Ukraine have been in conflict since early 2014, when Russia illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine and, in the weeks that followed, sent troops to support anti-government separatists in the Donbass region of Ukraine.
But this conflict froze along the trenches in the Donbass region. If Russia starts a new invasion, a partially hidden war can become a much bloodier open war.
Tumblr media
U.S. and allied surveillance planes have emerged in eastern and southern Europe in recent weeks, while NATO leaders are increasingly alarmed by the prospect of a new war at the alliance's border.
In early December, the French Air Force sent Mirage fighters holding electronic intelligence pods across the Black Sea around Crimea. At the same time, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army, respectively, sent RC-135V/Ws and Artemis ground surveillance aircraft.
The Artemis twin-engine prototype carries a suspended radar that can locate vehicles on the ground. Pair an RC-135V/W with an Artemis and you will have a very comprehensive image of an enemy army. Artemis aircraft counts vehicles. RJ characterizes its communications.
Tumblr media
However, there is no way the two Artemis Army planes can keep up with the USAF RJ fleet. The U.S. Air Force operates eight RC-135V and nine RC-135W Rivet Joints virtually identical to Offutt Air Base in Nebraska. RJs take turns deploying to the United Kingdom, Crete, Qatar and Japan, among other countries, for surveillance flights near Russia, Iran, China and North Korea.
The 55th Wing in Offutt has 17 RJs, but on any day several of the old structures of the 1960s are in Texas for updates. Maybe a dozen RC-135V/Ws are available for operations. A quarter of them are disabled for routine maintenance, if the 2019 readiness data still applies.
Tumblr media
That is, the U.S. Air Force may be able to gather 10 RJs at a time. Which doesn't mean that all 10 can fly every day. The surveillance planes based on the Boeing 707 are old and complex; they do not fly every day.
Tumblr media
That's why it's so remarkable that, on Monday and Tuesday, seven RJs were on the air on the same day. RJs usually fly with their transponders turned on, which means that anyone with access to flight tracking software can observe their freaks out in real time.
An RC-135V/W was off the coast of California, probably for training. One was flying near Venezuela. Another was going around the South China Sea to watch over Chinese forces. A quarter was over the Korean demilitarized zone.
Tumblr media
Three of the RJs were collecting information about the Russians - one near the Russian Baltic enclave, Kaliningrad. Two on the Black Sea, near the Russia-Ukraine border.
This is very SIGINT, or Signal Intelligence. Add the Royal Air Force (RAF) RC-135W, which was also over the Black Sea at the same time, and NATO's surveillance effort is even more impressive. The RAF has three RJs.
The United States and its allies are clearly concerned about the increase in Russian troops near Ukraine - and are watching closely. Although Americans can share with their NATO allies much of the intelligence that RJs gather, at the moment they cannot share the same information with Ukrainians.
Tumblr media
That could change. President Joe Biden's government signaled that it can start providing information about the battlefield for Ukraine. It is one of several options that the White House is evaluating when trying to prevent a Russian invasion without directly involving American troops in the defense of Ukraine.
