II Geopolitical and historical notes
Looking at it from there (the United Kingdom) it appears ‘so’,
but here in the U.S., is a very different politic. Think back to
the Cold War and when behind the public scenes of threat and
counter-threat, Kennedy was holding a confidential with
Krushchev and did create a mood of laissez-faire into which the
Cuban Missile Crisis, the war in Vietnam was desired to become
peace. Alan Dulles, Lyndon B Johnson, J Edgar Hoover, Clint
Murchison and the rest of the super-power elites (the world's
richest people) much inclusive of the industrial military
magnates were well aware of what they regarded as double dealing
on Kennedy's behalf. Recall the Guilty of Treason leaflets
distributed on the eve of Kennedy's state visit to Texas and
that they were all there in person the night before the
assassination, at Murchison’ house in Texas. What it achieved
for Kennedy was a cementing into a future course of events that
have not and will not change. It's impossible to work against it
and any leader is well aware. Whether you like Trump or not, if
he is their ‘boy’ he will become President and continue in that
role. The current standoff with Moscow has no comparative
official resolve as per Kennedy, much the reverse and all of the
motions in play, the rhetoric comes from 'them', because it has
to. Trump will continue this and what Moscow and those on their
'side' whether in the moral right or wrong the expected way they
will respond will only serve to work in their favor. If it comes
to the brink, they will be making more money than ever, their
machine and its propaganda force fed what all are conditioned to
hear, constitutive of the collective American psyche.
In brief : Arms of Russia and Turkey
The most dangerous weapons systems Russia and Turkey, which
should make us reflect.
Syria was a major source of tension between Turkey and Russia
even before the Turkish F-16s shot down on November 24 Russian
Su-24 on the border with Syria. From the beginning of the civil
war in Syria in 2011, Russia and Iran support the regime of
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and Turkey, along with Saudi
Arabia, Qatar and the United States provides assistance to the
rebels fighting against Assad.
When the forces of Assad in June 2012 shot down in the skies
over the Mediterranean Turkish reconnaissance aircraft RF-4,
Ankara has introduced new rules of engagement and the use of
weapons against Damascus, which are of questionable validity.
Over the past three and a half years, Turkey was hit by a dozen
Syrian planes, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles for
alleged violation of its airspace.
The latest incident was the culmination of this tug of war, and
Turkey in an effort to help its customers in Syria.
After arriving in September 2015 on the Mediterranean coast of
Syria, the Russian aviation contingent, one of its aircraft
briefly violated Turkish airspace; Syrian MiG-29 switched to
automatic tracking, which turned out to be the Turkish F-16s in
Turkey, and the Turks on October 16 was shot down on its
territory, the Russian, they believe drone.
Despite these incidents, the Russian air force had to show the
Turks that their support forces are not welcome. For Turkey, the
increased pressure on operating in Syria Russian aircraft was
the ability to calm the combatants under its wing rebel groups
and target them to further the fight against Assad.
Since Turkey is a NATO member and has more access to space
combat in Syria, while Russia has enormous military superiority,
a large-scale war between the two parties is unlikely.
Nevertheless, small clashes related to the incident on November
24 is still possible - especially in view of the fact that the
Russian General Staff has taken a more aggressive stance against
the Turks. But Turkey has a formidable military capabilities
that can make life difficult for Russia.
The publication brought together five of the most dangerous
weapons systems Russia and Turkey, which should give pause
before someone decides to go from the bottom to the escalating
tensions.
Turkey
Multirole fighter F-16 and advanced guided missile of class
"air-to-air" medium-range AIM-120
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
As part of the Turkish Air Force nearly 250 F-16 aircraft, with
30 of them in the modification of Block 50+. Block 50+ is the
latest version of the F-16 is a proven multi-role fighter in the
battle of the fourth generation. Turkey produces (for US
licenses) and use since the mid-1980s various options for the F16, in connection with which it gained the BBC considerable
skills and experience to the Fighting Falcon fly in all kinds of
scenarios.
American-made missile AIM-120, which the Turks November 24 shot
down a Russian Su-24 is lethal weapons the F-16. With the launch
range of almost 50 kilometers, AIM-120 makes the F-16 into a
serious threat to the well-trained and equipped with the Russian
Air Force.
The system of ground-based jamming KORAL
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
The mobile station ground-based jamming KORAL - the newest
addition to the Turkish arsenal of EW. Established Turkish state
kooporatsiey Aselsan, the system of electronic protection /
active jamming suppression and is designed for jamming enemy
radar modern.
It analyzes the signals numerous purposes in a wide range of
frequencies and automatically generates a response algorithm due
to its high frequency digital memory. With an effective range of
about 150 kilometers, KORAL, according to available information,
can suppress or mislead any radar system of land, sea and airbased.
This new system reduces the enemy's awareness about the
environment and can therefore disorient Russian, to strengthen
the combat situation and uncertainty blind them weapons systems
that can pose a threat to the Turkish army.
Gür Class Submarines
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
As part of the Turkish Navy has four class submarine Gür, who
are among the best diesel-electric submarines in the world. The
basis for their design was the export version of the German Type
209 submarines, model T2 / 1400 the company HDW.
Gür class submarines are armed with anti-ship missiles Harpoon
(UGM-84), as well as heavy torpedo Tigerfish British
manufacturing and production DM2A4 Germany. Turkish subs are
also equipped with the most modern systems of detection and
targeting, so they are silent and deadly hunters pose a serious
threat to the Russian group of surface ships in the eastern
Mediterranean.
Given the drawbacks of funds ASW Russian naval task force in
Syria submarine Gür give the Turkish side of the enormous
leverage.
Corvettes invisible class Ada
Turkish corvette Class Ada - another naval platform, represents
a mortal danger for the Russian group of surface ships and
support vessels operating in the Mediterranean.
Designed and built in Turkey, these corvettes equipped with
eight missiles Harpoon Block II, 76-millimeter cannons OtoMelara
Super Rapid and other weapons.
Since the ship used stealth technology "stealth", he reduced
acoustic signature, the effective reflecting surface and reduced
thermal telltale signs.
These ships are equipped with radar stealth increased, allowing
them to sneak up on Russian surface ships and inflict on them a
fatal blow.
The naval commando unit SAT
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
SAT (underwater assault groups) - the elite of the Turkish armed
forces. Division SAT can operate in any conditions. They can
penetrate behind enemy from the air, by land and by sea,
striking on important goals.
They can carry out acts of sabotage and to attack the port
facilities and ships at anchor. These groups are fighting
swimmers special forces and rapid response.
During a limited conflict fighters SAT able to conduct an
effective covert operations against the Syrian coastal
infrastructure and Russian ships operating in the Mediterranean.
Russia
Multipurpose tactical fighter-bomber Su-34 and guided missiles
"Air-air" medium-range R-27 / RVV-AE
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
Since 2008, multifunctional fighter-bombers Su-34 (NATO Fullback Defender) began to come into service in place of the
older models of bombers Tu-22M and Su-24.
The Su-34 is equipped with a modern fire control system, radar
with a phased antenna array and a powerful system of radioelectronic means of suppression.
Compared with the Turkish F-16s of the Su-34 can carry more
shells and fuel, which ensures a greater range. At present,
Russia has in service more than 80 frontline bombers Su-34,
about 15 of which are based in Syria.
After the incident, which occurred on November 24 it is expected
that in mid-air confrontation with the Turkish F-16s of the Su-
34 will participate more often. These modern aircraft, adding to
the arsenal of the Russian air force, better able to protect
themselves and are highly maneuverable. Thanks to all these
characteristics, the Su-34 are "hard nut" for Turkish F-16s.
However, Su-34 is even more deadly enemy, when you consider that
he is armed with guided missiles of medium-range R-27 (NATO AA10 Alamo) and RVV-AE (NATO AA-12 Adder) class "air-to-air ".
Of particular concern of the Turkish side in terms of air combat
can cause the missile RVV-AE, the range of which is 100
kilometers away - in comparison with Turkish medium-range
missiles (made in USA) AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air with a range of
about 50 kilometers .
Ground complex electronic warfare Krasuha-4
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
Krasuha-4 is the latest system of electronic warfare (EW), in
service with the Russian army.
Features of this multi-functional broadband platforms allow to
suppress ground-based radar, airborne radar systems (especially
systems with long-range radio detection and guidance AWACS) and
low-orbit satellites.
According to some reports, the complex EW Krasuha-4 is able to
cause serious damage to the electronic systems of the enemy.
Russian troops in Syria, according to some assumptions, has at
its disposal a set Krasuha-4, the range of which is known, is
300 kilometers, so it has an advantage over the Turkish ground
system jamming KORAL.
Complex Krasuha-4 is able to "blind" system AWACS, which are
equipped with Turkish airplanes Peace Eagle, and greatly hinder
the Turkish Air Force to obtain information from the air on the
situation in the eastern Mediterranean and Syria, as well as
prevent them from coordinating ups alarm their fighters and to
intercept Russian aircraft.
Missile cruiser Project 1164 Atlant
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
Missile cruiser Project 1164 Atlant (NATO - Slava class) - is a
highly efficient platform for surface combat operations and air
defense.
Cruisers Project Atlas are floating fortresses - they are
equipped with 16 cruise missiles P-500 Basalt, anti-aircraft
missile system C-300PMU-2 Favorit with ammunition of 64 longrange missiles, two installations Osa-M short-range missiles of
class "surface off-air, "three-coordinate radar detection and
tracking, as well as the-horizon radar.
After the death of the Russian Su-24, the head of this class
cruiser - Moscow - has taken up duty in the coastal part of the
Syrian port of Latakia, which poses a serious threat to the
future of Turkey's air operations in the eastern Mediterranean.
However, with the cruiser Atlanta project has its problems. For
example, the threat to Turkey may be only a cruiser Moscow,
since such ships of this project - Marshal Ustinov, and Varyag including as part of respectively the Baltic and Pacific fleets.
But more importantly, these cruisers do not have enough
effective means of antisubmarine warfare (ASW) able to repel the
attacks of the Turkish submarines as silent and deadly class
submarine Gür. As for the escort ships of the Russian Navy in
1135 Project Puffin (NATO - Krivak I, II), accompanying cruiser
Moscow on alert to ensure that the PLO (as the text - approx.
Trans.), their capabilities is highly controversial.
Special Forces
Russia and Turkey. Powerful weapon possible war
Special Forces - is the generic term for Russian special forces.
These units are well-trained operatives can perform a wide range
of military operations, in particular, to conduct
reconnaissance, subversion, to carry out sabotage, guerrilla
warfare and authorized to carry out the murder.
Its operational skills and courage commandos demonstrated
recently, represented as a "little green men" during the sudden
invasion of the Crimea in February 2014 and in the ensuing
military operations in eastern Ukraine, so Russia became clear
winner.
The Russian elite special forces units currently in Turkey may
be the most clear and present danger.
Against the background of how the south-east of Turkey
intensified struggle of Ankara with the paramilitary rebel
organization Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and while the
country is still arriving refugees from Syria, it is not
excluded that the highly trained Russian special forces to
infiltrate into Turkey And he built there riots and the
destruction.
Forces and means of psychological warfare and cyber
During each of the recent international crisis, involving
Russia, Moscow's opponents were subjected to a various and
massive cyber-attacks.
In 2007, during a crisis in relations with Estonia in the North
Ossetia during the war with Georgia in 2008, and the occupation
of the Crimea and the war in the east of Ukraine in 2014-2015
Russia demonstrated its significant competitive advantage - both
in qualitative and in quantitatively.
And in view of Moscow's ability to conduct psychological warfare
- to manipulate the media to incite the local population and
demoralize the enemy - it would be prudent if Turkey drew
attention to the strength and resources available to Russia.

30/11/2015
A new report by the Ministry of Defence, circulating in the
Kremlin, says President Putin this morning ordered the 58th
Army, with headquarters in the North Caucasus Military District,
immediately deploy "choice" regiments and brigades electronic
warfare, air defense systems, multiple launch rocket systems
fire, anti-tank, infantry and artillery troops on the TurkishArmenian border, which in total includes about 7,000 Russian
military.
According to the report, the legal component of the
authorization for this massive deployment of combat associated
with the joint agreement of the Russian-Armenian air defense
system that President Putin ordered signed on 11 November which
will be finally signed this week by Prime Minister Medvedev.
With Armenia, now becoming an important part of the united air
defense system of Russia, the Russian Armed Forces will be able
to withstand the threats from Turkey.
It is also important to note that these forces will be
protected, as well as their colleagues working in Syria, the S400 Triumph (NATO: SA-21 Growler) and EW system Krasuha-4, which
will give them almost complete control over 85 percent Turkey.

By ‘covering’ Turkey
politically, NATO took full
responsibility for the downing
of Russian Su-24 – envoy

Benoit Doppagne / BELGA / AFP
By refusing to render an opinion on Turkey’s “intentional”
downing of Russia’s bomber over Syria, and instead providing
Ankara with political backing, NATO’s leadership has taken
responsibility for the incident, Russia’s NATO envoy, Aleksandr
Grushko, said.
Grushko gave his comments to reporters on Monday after it
emerged that he had met with NATO’s Deputy Secretary-General
Alexander Vershbow to discuss the November 24 incident when a
Russian Su-24 bomber was shot down by a Turkish F-16 while
striking terrorist positions in Syria.
“Yes, indeed I had talks with Deputy Secretary-General A.
Vershbow over the Su-24 incident…. I laid out the Russian
assessment of the incident and cited a series of military and
political factors which indicate of the intentional nature of
the attack on the Russian plane in the Syrian airspace,”
Grushko, Russia’s Permanent Representative at NATO, said.
However, Vershbow would not give any assessment of Turkey’s
aggressive action, according to the Russian diplomat, and only
called for restraint and direct contact between Moscow and
Ankara concerning the issue.
“NATO prefers not to go into detail on what the reason was for
Turkey’s decision to launch a missile to down a plane which was
flying in Syrian airspace and which posed no threat to Turkey,”
Grushko pointed out.
The Russian envoy to NATO stressed that Turkey’s decision to
down a non-hostile plane in the border region goes against the
alliance’s rules of engagement.
“In the case of the November 24 incident, even if we take for
granted the absolutely ungrounded version of violation of
Turkey’s airspace, these NATO’s practices were not observed,
since, according to Ankara, the pilots did not even know the
identity of the violator plane,” he stressed.

ADDENDUM IV
"[President] Putin, [Prime Minister] Medvedev and other Russian officials know Turkey is
complicit with Washington in recruiting, arming, funding, training and directing ISIS
elements along with other terrorists on its territory, aiding their free movement crossborder into Syria and Iraq and back,"
"Erdogan's recent reckless act, with virtually certain US support, destroys chances for
East-West cooperation against terrorism — at the same time, upping the stakes for direct
confrontation. The Doomsday Clock inched closer to midnight,"
ADDENDUM V
Turkish President dreams of the Ottoman Empire, and idiocy had dictated his recent
actions to authorize the destruction of the Russian bombers. The fact that this was done
intentionally and with his knowledge - should not cause doubt. However, this move - stupid,
beckons very unpleasant consequences, and it will remain with Russia, also unlikely to have
earned at least any serious support from NATO partners.
In the situation of the downed Russian aircraft Su-24 was carried out the planned ambush
of the Turks who knew perfectly well the plane they had seen dozens of times and the effect
of such aircraft in the area. They knew perfectly well that the plane was returning to base
after the mission. Knowing armed aircraft, and its inability to fight in the air, Turkish
aircraft struck from behind. Such operations are NOT carried out by accident. This is not
an unidentified flying object. They were waiting, and did what they did. It is clear that
without the permission of Erdogan such an operation could not be scheduled. This a
purposeful act of the Turkish authorities,
This is done for reasons of fact that the Ottoman Empire, in the understanding of Erdogan,
still exists and it should be restored.
The territory of Northern Syria it considers its sphere of influence and management.
Erdogan - clearly a few days ago said "We can not protect our Turkmens". Therefore one
of the goals - to determine that the Turkmen opposition, the Islamic militias fellow
Turkmens that were created and armed by Turkey, they have to attack Russian forces.
Erdogan tried to establish a "clear sky" over their Turkmens. It is almost an exact
translation of his words. Second, he tried to strengthen position in negotiations on the
future of Syria, and tried to defend about 10 military factions of the Muslim Brothers,
which today is a discussion - whether they are legitimate or not,
Erdogan wants to restore the Ottoman Empire to the level of influence which it once was,
however, characterized by unbalanced and ill-considered actions have.
What will then be? Russia rightly does not want to get involved in open military conflict
with Turkey. Its main task - to achieve a successful resolution of the goals set before the
start of operations in Syria. And nothing will stop Russia and knock Vladimir Putin from
this path, which would not have been a provocation. This is - the main thing.
The Defense Minister Shoigu said Russia's S-400, (most advanced in the world) and
following the statements of command videoconferencing RF, neither Turkish aircraft will
cross the border of Syria, unless they want to be shot down. And not only the Turkish
aircraft, but also the Turkish jeep, Turkish border guards, or anyone. Every military Turk
crossing the border to Syria by land, sea or air, thus he signs his own death warrant.
All Turkish aircraft suddenly stopped flying! It turns out that all Turkish planes as soon as
they run up on the runway - they are on Russian locators. Next will be even worse.
Second, yesterday there was a Russian bombing of the Turkmens, who most likely killed
the pilot, they will be no more.
And thus Erdogan undermined any possibility of recognition of the "opposition" as
legitimate. It has already become illegitimate after his actions.
In addition, the Syrian Kurds, out of the reach of the Turkish army, now. Russia is likely to
give them a full cover, and will provide them with any military assistance via Assad in the
confrontation with Turkey.
With regard to international commerce, Turkey is also in a rather difficult situation,
because all the contacts, including economic, with the Russian Federation, will be frozen
solid, except those that are signed, and Turkey will be obliged to comply with them or pay a
penalty.
In addition, Merkel said that it is a conflict between Turkey and Russia, but we do worry.
Everyone else also made it clear that to settle the conflict themselves. Turkey has made
nonsense, and now the Turks are trying to make excuses, Typical and too late. > Olga

26/11/2015. The Russian aerospace force carried out several massive strikes near the Turkish-Syrian
border. As a result, unprecedented in its strength and duration in the area Bayyrbukdzhak and other
Syrian areas adjacent to the Turkish border, were destroyed several convoys of crude oil moving
towards Turkey, as well as units of the Turkish army, on the Syrian territory and without a UN
mandate, which provided protection for now nonexistent transported oil.
The loss of Turkish military forces of the regular army, acting on the LIH side can be more than 500
personnel, all vehicles destroyed. The infrastructure in the border area with Turkey, which is actively
used by militants LIH and Turkish military units that provide support to them, and that before the
incident with the Russian aircraft was subjected to air strikes was almost completely destroyed.
It should be noted that the line of the Turkish-Syrian border is controlled by the militants, from
24/11/2015 oil transport has increased by many times, that is until a column or several units of trucks
enjoyed Russian missile and bomb strikes on them - applied immediately.
If President Erdogan wanted his trick to reduce the intensity of Russia's actions in these areas, he has
achieved the opposite effect - no surprise the "gold mine" of Erdogan, ha,r har, as cheap LIH - ISIS oil
ends. But that's not all - to spoil relations with Russia, Turkey runs the risk of incurring huge
multibillion-dollar losses in the economy, as the country is much more dependent on Russia than vice
versa, and the tourism business in Turkey without Russian tourists will be doomed to die. (C-I) Olga

Russian MPs have submitted a bill on holding to account those denying Armenian genocide - courtesy
of the Turks. The opposition Just Russia Party has submitted a bill to parliament on holding to account
ANYONE who DENIES that the 1915 KILLINGS of Armenians by Ottoman Turkish forces was a
“genocide,” - “We have just submitted a bill on responsibility for failure to acknowledge the fact of a
genocide of Armenians by Turkey,” the party’s leader, Sergey Mironov said on his Twitter account.
The statement came a day after the Turkish Air Force shot down a Russian jet over Syria. Recall : In
1915, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre Armenians living
in the Ottoman Empire. Though reports vary, most sources agree that there were about 2 million
Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time of the massacre. By the early 1920s, when the
massacres and deportations finally ended, some 1.5 million of Turkey’s Armenians were dead, with
many more forcibly removed from the country. Today, most historians call this event a genocide – a
premeditated and systematic campaign to exterminate an entire people perpetrated by scum
Russia declared the Turkish military response. The statement of the General Staff of the
incident with the Su-24 Russia will respond to the destruction of Turkey bomber Su-24 is
not only the "closing of the Turkish Tourism and Trade - The Russian Defense Ministry
has announced an unprecedented military response to the aggression of Ankara.
Russia will respond to the destruction of Turkey bomber Su-24 is not only the "closing of
the Turkish Tourism and Trade - The Russian Defense Ministry has announced an
unprecedented military response to the aggression of Ankara.
For example, the missile cruiser "Moskva" will destroy all targets representing even a
potential threat to Russian videoconferencing, and all departures bombers and attack
aircraft will be covered by the Russian fighters.
Earlier, Russian President has already announced that Russia will not leave without an
answer, "stab in the back from the IG accomplices."
Military Ministry of Russia has already announced that it would stop contacts with Turkey
on the military side - recalling that after the destruction of the Su-24 Turkey had not
responded to an emergency request on the "red line."
Also, the Defense Ministry said - now all departures bombers and attack aircraft of the
Russian Federation will cover videoconferencing fighters. And when you consider that
among the group of combat aircraft deployed in Syria, the Su-34, known as the world's
military aviasoobschestvom "King of heaven" - they will be able to hit any military aircraft
Turkey or NATO, providing electronic suppression of their on-board systems and groundbased air defense systems.
"Any attempt on the part of the Turkish aircraft to contact or establish visual contact with
our crew by means of objective control is not fixed" - it sounds in a statement the Ministry
of Defence. "Rocket hit the plane Su-24M took place over the territory of Syria. Place the
crash is on Syrian territory, four kilometers from the border," - dryly informed the
military, adding "As accurate data objective control our plane border with Turkey do not
intersect. This is confirmed Data Syrian air defense. "
Not only that, according to radar reconnaissance airfield Hmeymim "noted a violation of
the airspace of Syria attacking the Turkish Air Force aircraft." Earlier, Turkey dozens of
times every day to violate the airspace of Greece - but after the destruction of the Su-24
"no violation has occurred," but Turkey immediately appealed to NATO for help "save,
we shot down Russian aircraft."
The military also hinted that "the General Staff are currently being worked out additional
measures to ensure the security of the Russian air base." Experts believe that this is at least
the deployment within the base air defense system S-400 "Triumph", able to lead and hit
any target, from aircraft and cruise missiles to the IDB at a great distance.
Also, the Defense Ministry said that now the missile cruiser "Moskva", equipped with air
defense system "Fort", will take part in the coastal region of Latakia. "We warn that all
goals that represent a potential threat for us will be destroyed."
The network has the video of American fighters, as well as Turkomans - the inhabitants of border
areas of Syria, who sympathize with LIH and "Dzhebhat en Nusra" - positioned as a Russian pilot, was
shot down - Su-24. The authenticity is checked. Russian Foreign Intelligence Service
Historical notes
Victories of the Russian army over Turkey
November 24 Turkish military shot down a Russian Su-24 bombers.
Two pilots were killed allegedly RF videoconferencing. Relations
between Russia and Turkey for hundreds of years were at least
strained, which resulted in 11 wars conducted. Despite the
different results of these wars for Russia, it is in
confrontation with the Ottoman Empire, the Russian army the whip
one of its most high-profile victories. Recall five RussianTurkish battles.
Chesma battle
Naval Battle Chesmene became part of the Russian-Turkish war,
which lasted from 1768 to 1774 years. At the time of start of
the campaign, Russia had no outlet to the Black Sea, which
became one of the reasons for the war.
In July, 1770 in the Mediterranean Sea with the Baltic Sea have
been sent several squadrons under the command of Count Orlov.
Finding the Turkish fleet anchored in the bay of Cesme, the
Russian fleet, which consisted of 9 battleships against the 15
enemy, July 6 attacked the Turkish fleet.
As a result, they destroyed 15 ships of the line and six
frigates of the Navy of Turkey. Another five galleys and one
battleship, Russia received a trophy.
A contemporary of the events, a famous writer and military
zroniker A.Ya.Glotov described the outcome of the Battle of
Chesma Bay, "all things there is Russia. Victorious their flag
waving in the run-up to Constantinople. Those small successes of
the Russian fleet did not have examples in history."
This corresponded to the truth. Russia was able to control the
Dardanelles, which paralyzed much power in Istanbul. The very
same war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Kuchuk
Kainarji, under which Russia withdrew the first land in the
Crimea and Azov. And most importantly - Russia received the
right to have a military fleet in the Black Sea.
Sturm Ishmael
After the
return of
through the
war. Home
fortresses,
nomination of Russian unrealistic conditions (the
the Crimea, the right to inspect all ships passing
straits, and others.) Turkey in August 1787 declared
happened to Russia successfully: made a number of
including Ochakov, and won at Ramnicu. By December,
Russian troops came to Ishmael.
The fortress, which was considered impregnable, was defended by
a garrison of 35 thousand people. Later, recalling the details
of the operation, led by storm Alexander Suvorov admitted that
"to storm this fortress could be solved only once in a
lifetime", which was quite understandable: the fortress was
surrounded by a 7-meter shaft, which in some places reached a
height of 8 meters and moat 12 meters. On the walls were set up
to 200 shells to conduct defense.
Defenders fighting spirit peculiar reinforced Sultan Selim III,
who promised in his decree to execute every survivor of the
Turkish soldier in the event that the fortress will fall. The
assault, which began on December 22 ended two days later, when
the resistance of the Turks was broken. Preparing for the
assault took only a week. As a result, killing more than 26
thousand people. It is estimated that of the garrison was saved
only one man, who was able to log to cross the Danube.
During the capture of Ishmael, among Suvorov, participated, and
other such well-known military commanders of his time, Mikhail
Kutuzov (at that time the rank of major general, was the
commandant of the fortress after the capture), and Major-General
de Ribas (supervised the construction of Odessa, the famous
street Deribasovskaya is named after him), who led the assault
force during the assault. A year after the capture of the
fortress Turkey signed the Treaty of Jassy, which recognized the
right of Russia to the Crimea, Kuban and Georgia.
Battle of Sinop
A disaster for the Russian Crimean War began with the triumph of
the Russian fleet over the Turks in Sinop Bay. November 23, 1853
Russian ships under the command of Admiral Nakhimov came to the
Bay of Sinop on the Black Sea. The aim was to prevent the exit
of the bay of the Turkish fleet for further landing near
Sukhumi. Of course the battle took place on 30 November and
lasted less than four hours. During this time, all the ships
were destroyed by the Turkish squadron, about three thousand
people were killed and wounded, and taken prisoner by Vice
Admiral Osman Pasha. In fact, other than ships, was destroyed
entire Turkish naval base. On the Russian side, there were 37
fatalities. None of the Russian ship was not sunk.
Nakhimov in the order at the end of the battle wrote: "The Lord
commanders of ships and frigates for the cold-blooded and
accurate resolution of its vessels under this disposition during
heavy enemy fire as well and unwavering their bravery
continuation of the case, turn with gratitude to the officers
for the unflinching and accurate execution of its debt, thanks
to a team who fought like lions. "
Battle of Sheinovo
12 April 1877 Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire. The
goal - to help disseminate widely the Balkans liberation
movement of the Slavic peoples.
By the summer of 1877 the Russian army captured the Shipka Pass
(divides the territory of modern Bulgaria in the northern and
southern parts), which had a strategic position to further
advance deep into the Ottoman Empire. Hold the position was left
a detachment of only five thousand soldiers, while the Turks in
the hope to recapture the pass rapidly increasing force. As a
result, Russian soldiers had heroically to repel the attacks of
30-thousand Turkish army. The climax of the fighting were the
events of 9-14 August, when Russian soldiers reflected the
incessant (13 hours) the Turks attack, but gave no knock
themselves from the heights.
The defeat at Sheinovo was decisive in the war. For the Russian
army has opened an unprotected line and the Turks the way to
Adrianople and Istanbul. Promotion of the Russian army only
prevented the signing of the San Stefano peace treaty, under
which Serbia, Montenegro and Romania gained independence and was
the creation of a new principality - Bulgaria.
Russian losses amounted to little more than five thousand
people. The Turks fled, about 23 thousand Ottomans were
captured.
Sarykamysh battle
Caucasian direction of the First World War in Russia was not the
main, however, the Ottoman Empire under the leadership of German
military experts long been preparing for an offensive campaign
against Russia. In October 1914 the Turkish fleet bombarded
Odessa and Sevastopol, forcing Russia to move into action. In
November, the first Russian connections crossed the border with
the Ottoman Empire.
On the border with Russia moved eccentric Enver Pasha, one of
the leaders of the empire, which, ignoring the recommendations
of the German consultants, decided on their own to defeat the
army of the Caucasus. The first two weeks of the war took shape
in Russia badly - forces were forced to retreat to the border.
By December, the city turned out to be focused Sarykamysh the
largest detachment of the Russian forces, where, on the one
hand, it was possible to strike at Kars, and on the other - to
be able to organize a counter-attack down to Tiflis and
disorganize the whole Russian Caucasus group.
In the first days of defense of the city took over the Brigade
militia and about 100 young officers. The fate of the 18 Russian
battalions in the Caucasus was in their hands, and Tbilisi was
seized by panic - the evacuation of the population. By midDecember to the Russian Sarykamysh tightened parts (mainly the
Kuban Cossacks), but the forces were still unequal.
As a result, by December 25, the Turks managed to train and go
to the rear of the defenders. But then the station was retaken
by the forces of the Cossacks-Plast, whose silent attack Turks
plunged into shock. The turning point came on December 31 when
the 3rd Turkish army was dealt a decisive blow from which they
never recovered, and in early January undertaken successful
kontranstuplenie. "Caucasian Russian army commits there every
day amazing feats" - said French Ambassador to Russia Maurice
Palaeologus, meaning Sarykamysh operation.
