jambatan, ada yang sudah dikerjakan.
Sempadan
tanah sahaja Crimean Semenanjung adalah dengan Ukraine, tetapi penghantaran

menyambung Kerch di Crimea ke tanah besar Rusia dan undang-lulus Ukraine.
"Bahan
pembinaan jambatan sementara adalah lebih daripada 3,500 tan. Buasir sokongan
jambatan tenggelam sedalam 35 hingga 56 meter. Ini adalah jangka yang pertama.
Lama lagi akan ada dua jambatan itu, "kata Leonid Ryzhenkin yang menyelia
bangunan itu dalam temu bual dengan ‘Russian daily KP.ru.’

Oktober juga menyaksikan permulaan pembinaan lebuh raya 4 lorong untuk
menghubungkan jambatan baru dengan rantau Krasnodar di selatan Rusia. Ia akan
menjadi 40 km panjang dengan 5 persimpangan.
"Satu
jalan baru direka untuk 120 km/h lalu lintas. Ia akan mempunyai kapasiti 36,000
kereta sehari, "kata Dmitry Gorb yang mengetuai pembinaan.
Jambatan
yang membantu yg ke-2 merentasi Selat Kerch dan keretapi sementara akan dibina
musim sejuk ini, berkata Rusia Timbalan Perdana Menteri Dmitry Kozak, RIA

September
ini, Ukraine ‘far-right’ cuba untuk melaksanakan sekatan perdagangan di
Semenanjung Crimean, yang masih bergantung kepada barangan yang dihantar dari
Ukraine. Jambatan Selat Kerch bertujuan menamatkan pergantungan Crimea di
Ukraine.

Russia is one step closer to a direct link to Crimea. Workers are building
temporary bridges that will carry construction machinery and deliver materials
to the Kerch bridge site. Eventually there will be three bridges, one is
already working.
The
Crimean Peninsula’s only land border is with Ukraine, but currently regular
passenger and cargo deliveries are organized by direct flights and ferries from
ports in southern Russia.
The
19-kilometer long main bridge is expected to open in December 2018 and will
connect Kerch in Crimea to mainland Russia and by-pass Ukraine.
“The
construction material for the temporary bridge is more than 3,500 tons. Bridge
support piles were sunk to a depth of 35 to 56 meters. This is the first span.
Soon there will be two more such bridges,” said Leonid Ryzhenkin who oversees
the building in an interview with Russian daily KP.ru.
October
1 also saw the beginning of the construction of a four-lane highway to link the
new bridge with the Krasnodar region in the south of Russia. It will be 40 km
long with five interchanges.
“A new
road is designed for 120 km/h traffic. It will have a capacity of 36,000 cars a
day,” said Dmitry Gorb who heads the construction.
The
second auxiliary bridge across the Kerch Strait and a temporary railway will be
built this winter, said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, RIA Novosti
reports.
This
September, the Ukrainian far-right tried to implement a trade blockade of the
Crimean Peninsula, which is still dependant on goods delivered from Ukraine.
The Kerch Strait Bridge aims to end Crimea's reliance on Ukraine.

masa beberapa bulan lapangan terbang yang terbiar di Latakia, Syria, menjadi
pusat strategik operasi ketenteraan Rusia menentang Negara Islam. RT mendapat
peluang untuk melihat kehidupan sehari-hari secara langsung di pangkalan udara
Khmeimim - dari trak sauna kedai roti mudah alih.
Landasan
kapal terbang itu mampu menerima super-jumbo Antonov An-124 Ruslan dan Tupolev
Tu-76 pesawat pengangkutan, dan mempunyai ruang untuk lebih daripada 50 pesawat
tentera: pengebom Sukhoi Su-24M, Sukhoi Su-25 pejuang tanah sokongan, canggih Sukhoi
Su-34 pengebom, Mil Mi-24 helikopter gunship dan Mil Mi-8 helikopter sokongan.
Rusia
moden telah pernah menjalankan apa-apa operasi tentera jauh dari sempadan dan
tempat kejadian operasi di Syria adalah beratus-ratus kilometer dari pangkalan
tentera terdekat Rusia. Terdapat beratus-ratus anggota perkhidmatan lelaki dan
juruterbang di Khmeimim pangkalan udara dan menyediakan kemudahan kepada mereka
jauh dari rumah, kerana bahaya yang pasti dari Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini
ISIS/ISIL) tenun hanya 40 kilometer jauhnya, adalah satu cabaran bagi
perkhidmatan bekalan.
RT
Murad Gazdiev, salah satu daripada beberapa wartawan diberikan akses kepada
pangkalan tentera dari mana kapal terbang pergi pada misi terhadap IS
pemasangan di Syria, mengambil melihat lebih dekat apa yang diperlukan untuk
mengekalkan operasi ketenteraan begitu jauh dari rumah.
Infrastruktur
yang diperlukan untuk mengekalkan operasi ketenteraan di Syria terpaksa
dibentuk dari kecederaan. Apabila Rusia diperuntukkan tanah berhampiran lapangan
terbang Khmeimim ia adalah rata dan kosong.
Semua
kubu Rusia di Latakia terpaksa dibawa dari Rusia.
Semua
kakitangan dan anggota perkhidmatan diberi makan menu dari dapur lapangan.
Makanan yang mudah, lagi berkhasiat, Gazdiev berkata. Semua bahan-bahan yang
dibawa dari Rusia melalui laut atau melalui udara.
Rusia
tidak boleh mengurus tanpa roti, supaya satu lagi isu penting adalah membakar
roti segar di pangkalan. Kedai roti bidang bekerja tanpa henti, membuat roti
dengan tepung gandum yang diimport dari Rusia.
"Dalam
tempoh yang singkat kita didirikan banyak keping infrastruktur lapangan,
seperti mata mengisi bahan bakar dan depot penyimpanan, dan juga kedai roti dan
kemudahan dobi," kata seorang jurucakap tentera Rusia.
Penginapan
di Khmeimim pangkalan udara adalah sama dengan NATO standard 2 orang kediaman
digunakan di Afghanistan dan di tempat lain. Ia berhawa dingin dan dicat putih
untuk mencerminkan haba membakar Syria.
Semua
anggota perkhidmatan di pangkalan memakai pakaian seragam tan berwarna khas
yang direka untuk iklim panas.
Untuk
bersaing semangat tentera 'yang tinggi jauh dari rumah, asas juga mempunyai
sauna Rusia mudah alih. Trak sauna dibawa sepanjang jalan dari Rusia.
In just
a couple of months a neglected airfield in Latakia, Syria, became the strategic
center of Russia’s military operation against Islamic State. RT got chance to
see firsthand everyday life at the Khmeimim airbase – from sauna trucks to
mobile bakeries.
The
airstrip is capable of accepting super-jumbo Antonov An-124 Ruslan and Tupolev
Tu-76 transport aircrafts, and has bays for more than 50 military aircrafts:
Sukhoi Su-24M bombers, Sukhoi Su-25 ground-support fighters, cutting-edge
Sukhoi Su-34 bombers, Mil Mi-24 gunship helicopters and Mil Mi-8 support
choppers.
Modern
Russia has never conducted any military operations far from its borders and the
scene of operations in Syria is hundreds of kilometers away from Russia’s
nearest military base. There are hundreds of servicemen and pilots at Khmeimim
airbase and providing convenience for them far from home, as imminent danger
from Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) looms just 40 kilometers away, is a
challenge for the supply service.
RT's
Murad Gazdiev, one of the few journalists granted access to the military base
from where planes head out on missions against IS installations in Syria, takes
a close look at what it takes to sustain a military operation so far from home.
The
infrastructure needed to sustain the military operation in Syria had to be
developed from a scratch. When Russia allotted land near the Khmeimim airfield
it was flat and empty.
Everything
at the Russian stronghold in Latakia had to be brought from Russia.
All
personnel and servicemen are fed one menu from field kitchens. The food is
simple, yet nutritious, Gazdiev says. All ingredients are brought from Russia
by sea or airlifted.
Russians
can’t manage without bread so another important issue is baking fresh bread at
the base. The field bakery works non-stop, making bread with wheat flour
shipped in from Russia.
“In a
short period of time we erected numerous pieces of field infrastructure, such as
refueling points and storage depots, as well as a bakery and laundry
facilities,” a Russian military spokesman said.
Accommodation
at Khmeimim airbase is similar to NATO standard two-person living quarters used
in Afghanistan and elsewhere. They are air-conditioned and painted white to
reflect Syria’s searing heat.
All
servicemen at the base wear special tan-colored uniforms designed for hot
climates.
To keep
up troops’ morale high far from home, the base even has a mobile Russian sauna.
The sauna trucks have been brought all the way from Russia.

Republik Chechen telah meminta Presiden Rusia untuk menghantar unit Chechen
untuk melawan Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini ISIS/ISIL) di Syria, sambil
menambah bahawa pejuangnya telah bersumpah untuk memerangi pengganas sehingga
akhir.
"Ini
bukan sia-sia, saya meminta kebenaran untuk pergi ke sana dan mengambil
bahagian dalam operasi khas," kata Ramzan Kadyrov dalam temu Jumaat dengan
radio RSN. "Sebagai seorang Muslim, yang Chechen dan seorang patriot Rusia
saya ingin mengatakan bahawa pada tahun 1999 apabila republik kami telah
ditakluki dengan syaitan-syaitan ini kami bersumpah dengan Quran mengatakan
bahawa kita akan memerangi mereka di mana sahaja mereka berada," kata
pemimpin Chechen.
"Tetapi
kita perlu keputusan Commander-in-Chief untuk melakukan ini," tegas
beliau. Menurut Perlembagaan Federation, presiden juga Komander Ketua angkatan
tentera.
Kadyrov
juga menyatakan bahawa pasukan khas unit Chechen berada pada tahap yang sangat
tinggi kesediaan pertempuran dan berjanji bahawa "sebaik sahaja pengganas
di Syria faham bahawa kita sedang menuju ke sana mereka sangat cepat2
keluar," sambil menambah bahawa pengganas mempunyai sedikit pengalaman
sebenar peperangan.
"Kami
tahu mereka kerana kita telah memusnahkan mereka di sini, kami telah memerangi
mereka. Dan mereka juga mengenali kami, "kata pemimpin Chechen.
Pada
masa yang sama Kadyrov mengakui bahawa perjuangan menentang ancaman IS tidak
boleh terhad kepada kaedah kuasa, tetapi juga perlu memasukkan pendidikan -
generasi muda perlu diajar bahawa kumpulan-kumpulan pelampau menggunakan
tafsiran yang salah terhadap Al-Quran.
Awal
bulan ini, ketua republik Chechen melaporkan bahawa sebuah yayasan amal
dinamakan selepas mendiang bapanya telah menyediakan bantuan kepada pelarian
Syria di Jerman. Kadyrov menulis dalam akaun Instagram beliau bahawa pekerja
amal mengambil masa hampir 2,000 pelarian bercuti untuk makan di bandar Kiel
dan yayasan itu menyediakan kem-kem pelarian Jerman dengan perabot sekolah dan
peralatan untuk taman permainan kanak-kanak.
Minggu
ini Tentera Udara Rusia mula menyampaikan mogok pembedahan ke atas kedudukan

Ivanov, menekankan bahawa Rusia tidak akan terlibat dalam apa-apa kerja darat -
bantuan hanya akan berada dalam bentuk serangan udara.

asks Putin to allow Chechen infantry
to fight in Syria . . .
The
head of the Chechen Republic has asked the Russian president to send Chechen
units to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria, adding that his
fighters have sworn to fight terrorists till the end.
“This is not idle talk, I am asking for
permission to go there and participate in special operations,” Ramzan
Kadyrov said in the Friday interview with the RSN radio. “Being a Muslim, a Chechen and a Russian
patriot I want to say that in 1999 when our republic was overrun with these
devils we swore on the Koran that we would fight them wherever they are,”
the Chechen leader said.
“But we need the Commander-in-Chief’s
decision to do this,” he emphasized. According to the Russian
Constitution, the president is also the commander-in-chief of the military
forces.
Kadyrov
also noted that Chechen special forces units were at a very high level of
combat readiness and promised that “as
soon as the terrorists in Syria understand that we are heading there they will
very quickly get out,” adding that terrorists have little experience of
real warfare.
“We know them because we have destroyed them
here, we have fought them. And they also know us,” the Chechen leader
said.
At the
same time Kadyrov acknowledged that the fight against the IS threat must not be
limited to power methods, but should also include education – the younger
generation must be taught that extremist groups use the wrong interpretations
of the Koran.
Earlier
this month, the head of the Chechen republic reported that a charity foundation
named after his late father was providing aid to Syrian refugees in Germany.
Kadyrov wrote on his Instagram account that charity workers took almost 2,000
refugees for a holiday meal in the city of Kiel and that the foundation was
providing German refugee camps with school furniture and equipment for
children’s playgrounds.
This
week the Russian Air Force started to deliver surgical strikes on terrorist
positions in Syria after the country’s upper house unanimously voted on
Wednesday to endorse President Putin’s request to deploy the nation’s military
abroad to fight terrorism. The head of the presidential administration, Sergey
Ivanov, emphasized that Russia would not be involved in any ground operation -
aid would only be in the form of airstrikes.

province on the Mediterranean coast, targeting five Islamic State targets.
Based
on intelligence gathered from a variety of sources, including “space and drone reconnaissance,” the
ministry confirmed the “total
destruction” of terrorist targets in Idlib Province by Su-24 M
jets. One of the targets was an Islamic State command post. The other was a
terrorist training camp.
One of
the videos released by the Defense Ministry shows Russian planes striking the
training camp. According to the statement, the fighter jets managed to
surgically strike an ammunition warehouse that led to further explosions and
the elimination of the camp, as well as some “military hardware” being kept at
the site.
The
ministry also reported that Russian pilots “prevented” the Islamic State fighters from restoring
one of its command posts in Hama Province which had been struck by Russian jets

Sukhoi
warplanes used by Russia in Syria anti-terror OP
The
Ministry of Defense has revealed that Russia’s aviation force in Syria is
exclusively composed of Sukhoi warplanes, including the cutting-edge Su-34,
tried-and-tested Su-25 and the Su-24M striking Islamic State targets in the
country.
Su-34
adalah pejuang serangan dan pesawat yang paling moden untuk mengambil bahagian
dalam operasi Rusia menentang Negara Islam di Syria.
Perkembangannya
bermula pada pertengahan '80s sebagai pengganti Su-24, dengan tentera negara
itu menerima kumpulan pertama pesawat pejuang baru pada tahun 2006.
Jet ini
direka untuk penembusan supersonik musuh ruang udara di peringkat sudur dalam
cuaca dan pertempuran keadaan yang paling buruk.
Kedua-dua
juruterbang kadang-kadang serang pejuang dirujuk sebagai 'tank terbang'
disebabkan oleh kokpit dan kebuntuan berkesan perisai senjata, yang
membolehkannya untuk terus hidup bukan sahaja serpihan peluru berpandu, walaupun
terus dari senjata berkaliber kecil.
The
Su-34 is a strike fighter and the most modern aircraft to take part in Russia’s
operation against Islamic State in Syria.
Its development began in the mid-’80s as a replacement for the Su-24, with the
country’s military receiving the first batch of new warplanes in 2006.
The jet is designed for the supersonic penetration of enemy airspace at treetop
level in the most severe weather and battle conditions.
The two-pilot strike fighter is sometimes referred to as ‘a flying tank’ due to
an armored cockpit and efficient standoff weapons, which enable it to survive
not only missile fragments, but even direct hits from small caliber arms.
Su-24
adalah pengebom taktikal bertujuan untuk terbang di bawah radar dan memukul
sasaran tanah dari ketinggian yang rendah. Tentera mahu kapal terbang untuk
mempunyai pendek berlepas dan keupayaan pendaratan untuk supaya ia boleh
digunakan di lapangan terbang udara kecil.
Prototaip
awal mempunyai 4 enjin turbojet yang dilengkapi 2 enjin utama semasa berlepas.
Skim ini, bagaimanapun, yang terbukti sangat cekap, jadi bukannya pereka
memberikannya sayap ubah sapu.
Pesawat
pertama memasuki perkhidmatan pada awal tahun 1970-an. Satu dekad kemudian
varian yang lebih baik yang dikenali sebagai Su-24M dengan radar yang berbeza
dan peralatan mensasarkan diperlukan untuk senjata yang lebih tepat
diperkenalkan. Model ini merupakan tulang belakang kepada pengebom taktikal
Rusia. Sukhoi terus menaik taraf pesawat.
Su-25
adalah satu lagi kuda kerja Tentera Udara Rusia, yang diperkenalkan pada awal
1980-an. Jet ini telah direka untuk sokongan udara dekat - iaitu, untuk terus
membantu tentera darat melibatkan diri musuh.
Fasa-fasa
akhir perbicaraan mereka ialah misi pertempuran sebenar di Afghanistan. Ini 'tembakan
pembaptisan’ terbukti amat berguna,
kerana maklum balas daripada tentera telah digunakan untuk meningkatkan
kemandirian pesawat, yang sudah sangat tinggi seperti yang ditentukan oleh
tujuannya. Apabila reka bentuk telah dimuktamadkan, Su-25 mempunyai 7 tahun
pengeluaran bersiri di belakangnya.
Sebuah
varian pesawat dipanggil Su-25UT telah dibuat untuk tentera laut Rusia. Satu
lagi, Su-25T, adalah tank-pembunuh. Armada semasa kira-kira 200 Su-25s sedang
menjalani menaik taraf kepada pengubahsuaian yang paling maju Su-25SM.
The
Su-24 is a tactical bomber meant to fly below the radar and hit ground targets
from low altitudes. The military wanted the plane to have short take-off and
landing capabilities to so that it could be used on small airfields.
An
early prototype had four turbojet engines that complemented two main engines
during take-off. The scheme, however, proved to be very inefficient, so instead
designers gave it variable-sweep wings.
The
plane first entered service in the early 1970s. A decade later a better variant
called Su-24M with a different radar and targeting equipment needed for more
precise weapons was introduced. This model is the backbone of Russia’s tactical
bomber. Sukhoi continues upgrading the aircraft.
Su-25
is another Russian Air Force work horse, introduced in early 1980s. The jet was
designed for close air support – that is, to directly help ground forces engage
the enemy.
The
final phases of its trials included real combat missions in Afghanistan. This
‘baptism by fire’ proved quite useful, as feedback from the military was used
to increase the plane’s survivability, which was already very high as dictated
by its purpose. By the time the design was finalized, Su-25 had seven years of
serial production behind it.
A
variant of the plane called Su-25UT was made for the Russian navy. Another one,
Su-25T, is a tank-killer. The current fleet of about 200 Su-25s is undergoing
an upgrade to the most advanced modification Su-25SM.

spokesman for the Defense Ministry said, reporting eight overnight sorties.
Previously
Russia hadn’t revealed any detail of its contingent in Syria, which started an
aerial campaign on Wednesday to help the Syrian Army fight against terrorist
troops.
“The air group was deployed on very short notice.
It was possible because we had most of the materiel and ammunition ready at our
depot in Tartus. We only had to move our aircraft and deliver some extra
equipment,” spokesperson
for the Russian Defense Ministry Igor Konashenkov told the media.
The
fleet includes the latest Su-24M and Su-25 ground attack planes, he said.
The
airstrikes on Wednesday night targeted four Islamic State facilities,
Konashenkov said.
“A
terrorist HQ and an ammunition depot were destroyed near Idlib, as were a
fortified three-level command center near Hama,” he said. “A direct bomb hit
also completely destroyed a workshop north of Homs that produced explosives and
ammunition,” he added, saying that at this workshop terrorists were stuffing
vehicles with explosives. Those vehicles were then used to conduct terror
attacks.
The
night sorties raise the number of targets hit by Russia in Syria in the first
24 hours of the operation to 12.
“All
the airstrikes are being conducted in coordination with the Syrian Army
command. The Syrian Defense Ministry has deployed an operative group at the
Hmaimim air base,” the Russian official said, referring to the airfield near
near Basel al-Assad international airport south of Latakia, where the Russian
forces are based.
