Russian forces to get upgraded, beefed-up protective Obereg body armor

The Russian Armed Forces are set to receive upgraded Obereg (lit. "Amulet") body armor with an increased protection area of over 50%, as announced by the Rostec press service on Monday.

This new body armor has a BR-4 protection class capable of stopping armor-piercing bullets with heat-strengthened cores from cartridges used in automatic weapons, specifically 7.62mm x 39mm and 5.45mm x 39mm calibers.

The basis of the protective elements are bulletproof ceramic armor plates. The equipment also contains packages of aramid fiber that protect against shrapnel.

The armor is designed to remain functional even under extreme external conditions, including exposure to water and drastic temperature fluctuations ranging from -40ยฐC to +40ยฐC.

THE DARK BEFORE THE DAWN OF ARMAGEDDON

โœ๏ธWritten by "Zen is not yet dead"โœ๏ธ

โœ๏ธEdited by Hikaru Kitabayashiโœ๏ธ

We are entering a time for final decisions. The Pepe Escobar report on a failed attempted "Israeli" counterstrike to Iran's successful attack in April is 100% genuine. Don't ask me how I know, I know. "Israel" has been working for a long time on strategic stratospheric EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) atomic weapon systems (and, at one time with South Africa when it was still an apartheid state), as a 6th generation warfare system. "Israel" and associated entities endangered the whole planet and everything alive on it in their attempt to use it as a revenge against Iran. There could be no escape from the consequences once the narrative becomes hot and then settles. That's why the de-escalation initiative came. We now see a spinning of the narrative by the collective West. In short, we missed Armageddon a few weeks ago, but the situation is still very Very Hot.

The reason the nuclear program of the Zionist political entity developed as it did was not because of an inability to conduct underground testing, but because of the desire by the United States for world dominance through force. The USA tied itself down by several treaties forcing it to abandon detectable new nuclear weapons systems research testing, so it allowed its Zionist proxy to do so. Israel was in a position to "safely" develop a stratospheric weapons system, yet still deny the possession of this technology. Now the show is over. Everyone knows.

What the average person, especially in the Collective West, is not aware of is that the assassination of President Raisi of Iran is a consequence of the pain felt due to the loss of face brought about by successive failures of Israeli-American attempts to destabilize Iran in April. At the moment, though, two opposite narratives have appeared from two legitimate sources. One tends to promote a crisis "de-escalation" strategy. The other seeks truth no matter what the consequences. They are both very professional analyses. Neither can change the outcome.

As for the assassination, itself, an operation of this type would require constant, real time, surveillance by satellite infrastructure. And, it would be reasonable to expect that it also might have left some traces. However, whether uncovered or not, we already know "they" did it. As a colleague noted, the cards are on table, the global south is on the move, and we hope "they" calculated (whatever it is "they" could calculate) well enough that extensive nuclear confrontation can be avoided.

But, what remains obvious is that the helicopter incident was a clear assassination. And, until Iran's present elections cycle reaches a conclusion, it is obvious that Iran will deny possessing evidence of an assassination to prevent any unpredictable consequences due to its having an incomplete command structure responsible for 80 million Iranians on their start position. And, before entering into conflict, it is expected that not only Iran, but the whole opposition sphere, the global south, will play the role of David to the NATO-American-Israeli Goliath, something which has now been communicated officially to the highest officials all around the world. The trail to a coming Armageddon of historical justice must not be compromised, nor that of war, either.

โ—๏ธThe Russian Prosecutor General's Office sent additional requests to the US, Germany, France and Cyprus in connection with the 2022 terrorist attacks on Nord Streams

The agency said that authorities in the United States, Cyprus and France did not investigate the circumstances of the financing of these terrorist attacks, and Germany does not fulfill international obligations to cooperate with Russia.

However, all these countries are parties to international anti-terrorism conventions, and new requests draw attention to the need to fulfill obligations under these documents, the prosecutorโ€™s office says.

๐Ÿคก Zelensky's office will not appeal to the Constitutional Court to confirm his legitimacy.

The deputy head of the office, Iryna Mudraya, said that only Russia is 'interested in appealing to the court'. In May, Justice Minister Denis Maliushka also said there was no point in appealing to the Constitutional Court.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: June 3-4 (Recap)

1๏ธโƒฃ President Biden confirms โ€œIsraelโ€™s readiness to move forward with the terms that have now been offered to Hamasโ€, adding that the United States, Egypt, and Qatar are committed to โ€œthe full implementation of the entire agreementโ€.

2๏ธโƒฃ The deadly bombing of southern and central Gaza continues, with reports of Hamas fighters battling Israeli troops throughout the besieged city of Rafah.

3๏ธโƒฃ Four more Israeli captives are pronounced dead by the Israeli military with family groups calling the announcement a โ€œdisgraceโ€ and underscoring the need to get an immediate truce deal done.

4๏ธโƒฃ Large swaths of northern Israel are engulfed by wildfires ignited by Hezbollah rockets as firefighters struggle to get the blazes under control.

5๏ธโƒฃ Prime Minister Netanyahu has said a US-backed truce proposal in Gaza would allow Israel to return its captives โ€œwhile adhering to the objectives of the warโ€, including the elimination of Hamas.

6๏ธโƒฃ Far-right Israeli officials have rejected the proposal, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich pledging to push to โ€œreplaceโ€ the countryโ€™s โ€œfailed leadershipโ€ if it accepts it.

7๏ธโƒฃ The White House has voiced opposition to a proposal in US Congress that would penalise International Criminal Court officials over pursuing war crime charges against Israeli leaders.

At least 36,479 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 82,777 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Battle for #ChasovYar in #Bakhmut Direction - RFAF Advance in Kanal Microdistrict - Situation around the Town by Evening of 3 June 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ต The Situation in and at #ChasovYar in the Evening of 3 June 2024, from north to south:

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ In #Kalinovka, north of #ChasovYar (marked with a grey arrow on map), there are ongoing fights with the initiative on side of the RFAF.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The AFU Pocket, between #Bogdanovka and #ChasovYar is still not eliminated. This could be explained by the fact that analyst MultiXAM is right when he ๐Ÿ‘‰ claims that #Bogdanovka is 50% in the grey zone. Then the situation there would be worse than the Map indicates. The location is marked with a blue arrow on the Map .

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Recent RFAF Advance in "Kanal Microdistrict" of #ChasovYar, marked with a green arrow on Map.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ RFAF at "Novy Microdistrict" of #ChasovYar. That the RFAF forced the Canal and fights at the southern edge of Novy have been ๐Ÿ‘‰ reported on 1 June 2024. In the meantime, the AFU the loss of control over the southern and eastern parts of the Novy Microdistrict has been ๐Ÿ‘‰ reported.
๐ŸŸก The actions are still missing on Map. The location is marked with a red arrow on Map.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ The AFU has still a last nest in #Krasnoye (#Ivanovskoye) within its boundaries. Despite several claims (incl. RF MoD @mod_russia), the village is still not fully taken yet. The location is marked with a yellow arrow on Map.
๐ŸŸก To the south is the still contested #Kleshcheyevka, at least part of it is grey zone.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธMilitary Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Avdeyevka Direction until 3 June 2024 at 20:12โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ป1. #Karlovka:
๐ŸŸกThe RFAF have advanced in the garden community in the east, approaching the immediate outskirts of #Karlovka itself and the Karlovskoye Reservoir.
๐ŸŸกThe 59th AFU Brigade is still experiencing serious problems with the quality of personnel and the organisation of sustainable defense. Having started backing away even before #Netaylovo, she continues to lose ground at #Karlovka.

๐Ÿ”ป2. #Yasnobrodovka:
๐ŸŸกThe RFAF advanced to the southeast of the village, taking several landings. #Yasnobrodovka itself has not yet been entered, the fighting is not far from the outskirts.

๐Ÿ”ป3.#Novopokrovskoye:
๐ŸŸกThe RFAF advanced from the northeast and east to the village. There is also a tangible progress from #Semyonovka.
๐ŸŸกThe village itself is still under enemy control.

๐Ÿ”ป4. #Sokol:
๐ŸŸกThe RFAF have firmly clung to the village and are fighting for its liberation. The enemy is seriously resisting, trying to slow down the development of the offensive to the west of #Ocheretino, where over the past day the AFU has lost a number of positions and landings.
๐ŸŸกIn #Novoaleksandrovka, fighting continues in the southeastern part of the village.

๐Ÿ”ป5.#Kalinovo:
๐ŸŸกTo the north of #Ocheretino, the RFAF slightly expanded the control zone in the direction of #Kalinovo. Positions north of #Arkhangelskoye's outskirts have also been improved.
๐ŸŸกIn the direction of #Rozovka, there is no serious progress yet.

๐Ÿ“Œ In General, the RFAF continues to maintain the operational initiative to the west and southwest of #Ocheretino, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has transferred part of its operational reserves to the #Kharkov direction.

๐ŸŸกAs the fighting in the northern part of the #Kharkov region drags on, the binding of the AFU reserves in these battles will become increasingly critical. Hence the enemy's attempts to accelerate the resolution of this problem by offensive actions in the area of #Volchansk and the village of #Liptsy. So far, the AFU is not very good at it.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๏ธ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 3 June 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นIn the northern #GazaStrip, recent fighting has seen IDF units advance to a university college in the southwest of the capital of the Palestinian enclave. At the same time, the removal of rubble in Jabaliya and the evacuation of residents from Beit Hanoun continues.

๐Ÿ”นIn the south of the Enclave, Israeli troops are still conducting an operation to occupy the so-called. "Philadelphia Corridor". Currently, fighting is taking place on the outskirts of Tell al-Sultan, as well as in the Al-Shoq area, at least half of which is already under the control of the IDF.

๐Ÿ”นIn the West Bank, Israeli security forces carried out another series of raids in several settlements. The most violent clashes took place in Nablus, where members of local armed groups carried out a series of ambushes.

๐Ÿ”นAlong the border with #Lebanon, the intensity of both sides' strikes increased slightly. Hezbollah fired at more than ten targets, while the Israelis targeted border and rear settlements in southern #Lebanon. Fires continue to rage on both sides of the border.

๐Ÿ”นIn northern #Syria, Israeli aircraft launched strikes from the airspace of the international security zone at Tanf on the city of Hayyan. A strike has been carried out on a copper smelter, killing 17 people and injuring 15 more.
