past 20 years, the loss of many Russian advanced weapons abroad, many of which are banned exports of weapons. These are how did this happen?

military exercises in the copy

April this year, the United States in Alaska, code-named “Red Flag” military exercise, showed reporters during a missile tanks, and China’s “Doyle-M1″ surface to air missile launcher system exactly the same. The U.S. military announced the launch vehicle photos. They made no secret that this device can help the Air Force exercise “against enemy air defense systems” approach.

“Doyle” surface to air missile system designed to destroy the radius of 12 km at altitudes of 6,000 kilometers of all airborne targets. This system has been exporting Venezuela, China, Iran, Greece, Cyprus. In other words, this is not to sell weapons systems from the United States, and that is how it went far in Alaska it?

“Moscow Defense briefing,” said editor in chief of Balabanov, Soviet Union, Ukraine left a number of early “Doyle” surface to air missile system launch vehicles, launch vehicles quickly for these electronic obsolete equipment has been stored in the warehouse, and later the Uruguayan government announced export “Doyle.” In addition, Russia had sold Greece “Doyle” system of export-oriented. As a NATO member, Greece will certainly be with NATO allies and “Big Brother” the United States to share all the parameters of such weapons. As a result, Ukraine’s early, “Doyle”, together with Greece’s export-oriented, “Doyle”, got together with the U.S. spy technology information, copy the United States, “Doyle” launch vehicle should be no problem.

the files in the Russian Military Prosecutor’s library, there are many similar cases recorded files.

1985, the Soviet military equipment, T-80U tanks and “Tunguska” unity of air defense missile and artillery systems, immediately caused great concern of foreign intelligence agencies. The most interesting is the British. Had the Soviet Union, democracy came to power, the Brits certainly nothing. When the Russian state-owned foreign trade company T-80U tanks and “Tunguska” missile and artillery systems sold to Liberia, which in turn resold to the United Kingdom, the total transaction amount of $ 10,700,000. Case file shows, the deal by the then Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Ministry of Defense and the SAC contributed. Military Prosecutor’s Office tried to intervene in the investigation, but issued a quietly closed the case the above instructions.

“Gladiator” Action Plan

early Soviet period, the Americans put our S-300 surface to air missile system as a thorn in the side, a side tried to stop our exports on the other hand want to got to such a system. The 1980s, Americans learned from East Germany’s powerful S-300. They said in the report: “This is the world’s only effective against a variety of ballistic missile threats to the system.” Americans know that, S-300′s performance than their “Patriot” is several times stronger, and most U.S. people hate, this system has the gall to attack ground targets!

Americans are anxious to get S-300 to improve their products, so they developed a program called “Gladiator,” the action plan. Congress allocated $ 300 million for this. Americans want most is the Russian military equipment S-300B type of ground system, because there are a variety of modified S-300 system, the performance difference is huge.

However, the Americans busy for four years, there is no harvest. U.S. spy and Russian officials over the last connected to the head, the officials agreed to lobby the United States. But there is one insurmountable obstacle: Russia banned the export of single pieces of weaponry, if you really want to buy, they buy a missile battalion, preferably a missile regiment. That was a huge expenditure. … We want the officials of Belarus to the United States through the sale of the old S-300PM U system, after the plan was dropped due to media exposure.

do anything on the occasion of the Americans, S-300B of the chief architect of Veniamin Yefremov said publicly that, code-named “Aetna -2500,” the S-300BM surface to air missile system The basic design has been completed, a number of performance than S-300B more than doubled. He suggested to the American export S-300B, that even if the Americans take 10 years, may not be able to fathom the mystery, while Russia can export revenue to mass S-300BM.

Yeltsin adopted Yefremov recommendations instructed relevant departments to start negotiations with the Americans. Finally sold to two Americans and several missile missile, but the core components of the missile system radar system — or not to sell Americans. U.S. to buy S-300B after detailed study, vowed to create a better surface to air missile system. The result? Weapons exhibition in Paris, we propose a test to a test of the Americans, but they did not agree, because their new “Patriot” PAC-3 model, even smaller than our old S-300B. Yefremov was right.

However, that $ 300 million in transactions it? Paid into the treasury, only 120 million, S-300B of the manufacturer to be about 40 million. Rest of the money gone? The answer is self-evident. You know, government officials work hard to develop missiles more than a … …

cheap high-speed torpedo

when some countries can not be advanced through the normal channels to get our weapons, the intelligence officers he sent on the handy. Foreign spies are most concerned about weapons design drawings. Here, have filed a case a decade ago. In 2000, the Russian Federal Security Service to engage in espionage activities on the grounds, the arrest of American Edmond Pope. According to the Federal Security Service revealed that Pope had visited Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and other cities of military research institutions, scientific research to understand the Russian Navy. He is most interested in Russia’s “snow” high-speed torpedo, the torpedo underwater speed of up to 100 meters per second or more. Pope spent $ 30,000 bribe a Russian expert working area, access to the latest research information on this torpedo. Was responsible for investigating the case of the Federal Security Service Director Bala Otmar investigation, said Pope and his recruitment of Russian spies, were caused to the Russian Navy, the loss of 700 million rubles.

the past 20 years, the Russian security services identified as many as dozens of such espionage. While many illegal activities and transactions are blocked, but the outflow of Russian military-industrial technology, is still a secret after another leak, causing damage to the country has reached hundreds of billions of rubles.
