Putin Uses Deadliest Russian Technology on ISIS for Mali - http://clapway.com/2015/11/22/putin-uses-deadliest-russian-technology-on-isis123/

Russian President Vladimir Putin called for wold collaboration against ISIS after the Sinai bombing and the latest terrorist attack in Mali. In Mali, Islamist militants killed 19 people, including 6 Russians.

Putin Fights Back Against Terrorism

Friday’s assault came a week after militants killed 130 people the Paris attacks were confirmed to be made by the Islamic State, and 3 weeks after a Russian airplane was downed over the Sinai by what Moscow and Western federal governments claim was a bomb, killing all 224 people aboard.

The bloodshed at the Radisson Blu resort in Mali, a previous French colony, evoked the problems French troops as well as U.N. peacekeepers encounter in recovering protection and order in a West African state that has fought rebels and also militants in its weakly-governed desert north for many years.

Mali: Terrorism Will Not Win

Jihadist groups Al Mourabitoun and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility for the assault, which ended when Malian commandos stormed the building as well as saved 170 people, a number of them immigrants.  President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita stated 2 militants were killed in the commando operation.

His federal government raised safety at strategic factors around Bamako at the beginning of a declared 10-day state of unexpected emergency. Keita said in a statement that Mali will certainly not close down due to this strike, as Paris and NYC were not shut down after they faced terrorism. In a final note, Keita said simply: ‘terrorism will not win’.

Putin Calls for the World to Collaborate to Fight ISIS

6 staff members of Russian regional airline Volga-Dnepr were killed, Russia’s international ministry said, while 6 others were rescued. Putin sent a telegram of condolences to Keita and also called for the widest global collaboration possible to fight global terrorism. On Tuesday, Putin promised to hunt down militants responsible for the airplane bombing over Sinai, conducting intensified air strikes versus militants in Syria, after the Kremlin concluded a bomb had downed the plane.

Putin Will Save the Planet with New Lada Car - http://clapway.com/2015/11/07/putin-will-save-the-planet-with-new-lada-car123/

Vladimir Putin test drove the Lada car, which promises to be Russia’s ticket back into the automobile industry. What’s more, it’s a green car. Throughout the last week, Putin was filmed driving the Lada Vestra, the latest in Russian cars, around the city of Sochi.

The car is rolling out of carmaker AvtoVAZ, powered by a 106hp 1.6-liter Lada engine. It’s pricing lies between $7,000 to $9,000, and it is hoped that this will bring Lada back to the automobile industry spotlight. The Russian automobile industry took a serious hit after heavy sanctions were placed on the country by the West.

Lada

Putin comments that he believes the car will sell well because it ‘drives smoothly’, and that hopefully the small family sedan will bring some income on the side of automobiles. The car takes fuel or natural gas, and with the amount of investment the government has put into it, the country hopes that AvtoVAZ can once again bring the people’s cars to Russia.

In an oddly uncharacteristic move, Putin has taken to advertising the Lada car himself, which just goes to show that he endorses the project and that he hopes that the Russian people will follow along. The Lada Vesta is already for sale.

Warfare Tech: Flying Axe Made In Russia #Russia #flyingaxe #VladimirPutin - http://clapway.com/2015/08/27/flying-axe-russia123/

A flying axe, useful to lumberjacks rather than to military personnel, has been presented at an international aviation and space salon, which opened on Tuesday in Russia. The medieval weapon armed with a futuristic twist impressed the show’s guests – including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A flying axe for the aircraft or space industry?

The baffling 1.5-meter flying axe was designed by young engineers for aerial warfare. The technology – a giant light-weight, ground-controlled axe equipped with a motor – was presented by 17-year-old Pavel Komarov, RT reported.

Social media responded promptly to the weird invention. “To put it mildly, they surprised the president,” wrote Dmitry Smirnov, a correspondent from Komsomolskaya Pravda, on his Twitter account.

Not the first flying axe made in Russia

Others claimed that this is hardly the first flying axe designed in Russia. Earlier in June, a group of school boys from Siberia invented a similar device. A flying axe even appeared in a Soviet popular science journal as early as 1986, although its purpose still remain unclear.

Russia is currently the world’s second biggest supplier of weapons after the United States. It is highly unlikely that we will see any giant hatchets flying above our heads in the near future unless Thor is in town. However, according to Sergey Letkov, the experimental model developed by eight-graders in Siberia has flown for a total of 50 hours reaching speeds of 65 to 70 kilometers per hour.

MAKS 2015: one of the world’s biggest air shows

Beside the flying axe and a Russia-Iran deal to build Tehran’s own remote-sensing satellite systems, the MAKS-2015 international biannual aerospace show will see major aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus and Boeing attending with billion dollar deals on the line.

Reuters wrote that Russian civil aviation companies are nevertheless facing a disappointing week at the country’s largest air show as “economic crisis” and “Western sanctions” have scared away many foreign firms.

Prospects looked different two years ago just before the Ukraine crisis plunged relations between Russia and the West “to their worst level since the Cold War,” Reuters reported. The MAKS air show in fact generated some $21 billion in deals, a figure “civil aviation firms can only dream of today.”

Over 400,000 people are expected to attend the venue during the six-day event and about 760 companies from 35 countries will participate in the air show.

Despite the political conjuncture, however, Putin has stated that MAKS will continue to serve as a platform for “expert dialogue, the development of industrial cooperation, and for finding new partners.”

The flying axe looks tough, but will it be a match for IntelliARMOR’s IntelliGLASS?
