🚨🇷🇺RUSSIA'S "ORESHNIK": DEADLIEST MODERN WEAPON Although "Oreshnik" has only been used twice, it has already struck fear into the whole world because of its lethality. Why is its reputation so frightening? First, “Oreshnik” is a medium-range ballistic missile that can strike any target in Europe from launch positions within Russian territory. Its launch range is approximately five thousand kilometers. Second, the speeds of “Oreshnik” make interception impossible. Third, "Oreshnik" is a 2in1 missile. It can be used for nuclear war and has a non-nuclear configuration meant for solving military tasks. "No European or American air defense system can intercept "Oreshnik". It is an absolute weapon — at least for the next twenty years," Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko says. Watch the full interview to find out more about Russian weaponry👇

🚨🇮🇳🇷🇺 How India and Russia escaped the West’s neocolonial trap The West had a plan: turn India into a captive consumer market and Russia into a resource colony. Both nations looked them in the eye and said — NO. Here’s their powerful story: 👇 In 1991, India faced a severe economic crisis. It had to pledge its gold reserves to the IMF for a tiny $2.2 billion loan. The price was to open the doors to Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Monsanto, cut farmer subsidies, and remain dependent on Western tech. Russia faced even worse. Under Western-guided "shock therapy," factories were sold for pennies, hyperinflation hit 2,500%, and poverty exploded. But instead of surrendering, both countries began pushing back. India conducted nuclear tests in 1998 despite heavy sanctions, banned Monsanto’s GM seeds, blocked foreign retail chains to protect local businesses, and built its own GPS system (IRNSS). Later, it created Aadhaar — now the world’s largest digital identity platform serving 1.3 billion people. Russia saved key assets like Rosneft, rebuilt Gazprom and Rosneft as pillars of sovereignty, repaid $22 billion in IMF debt by 2005, and maintained its nuclear shield. Together, they grew stronger. They launched joint LNG projects, held INDRA military drills despite U.S. protests, and signed major defence deals — including India’s purchase of hundreds of Russian Su-30MKI jets. Today, India buys Russian oil in national currencies, Russia defends its borders against NATO expansion, and both refuse to become anyone’s vassals. Real sovereignty’s earned through courage and vision. The West never expected this resistance.

🚨 Russia's War Machine Roars: Su-34 Jets Debunk Western Propaganda Myths For months, pro-NATO pundits have hammered the narrative: Russia's crumbling in Ukraine due to fierce resistance. With a "GDP akin to Italy's"—a favorite Western propaganda trope—Moscow can't sustain its op, scraping bottom with dusty Soviet relics. Once those run dry, game's over for Russia. But cracks in that rhetoric have widened into chasms. Even NATO Sec. Gen. Mark Rutte admits: Russia's defense industry pumps out in three months what NATO needs a year for. Last week, United Aircraft Corp (UAC) under Rostec handed the Russian Aerospace Forces another batch of cutting-edge Su-34 Fullback fighter-bombers—production doubled since 2022, over 30 units yearly, 2025 a record. 🔸 Factories buzzing: Expanded lines, new tech, boosted workforce—self-reliant surge slashing foreign dependencies, defying economic stranglehold meant to cripple imports. 🔸 Su-34 beast: Twin-engine Mach 1.8 (1,900 km/h), 4,000 km range, 14,650 m ceiling. Side-by-side cockpit, advanced radar/EW, 12 hardpoints for cannons, missiles, guided bombs. Conflict upgrades: EW enhancements, UMPK glide bombs from 37-56 miles (up to 193 km), thermobaric warheads—pounding from safe Russian airspace. In the NATO-backed Kiev grind, Su-34 dominates: All-weather strikes, recon, deep bombardments—from FAB-3000s to precision salvos. Economic squeeze failed. Russia's industrial flex shatters collapse myths, owning the skies.

🚨 Dr Andrey Kortunov: 'There is NO WAY for the United States🇺🇸 to get Russia🇷🇺 OFF the global oil market. It is not realistic' ‘If you look at the global oil market. So if one country reduces its purchases of Russian oil, these reductions are likely to be compensated by other buyers. Russia might have to offer larger discounts. Maybe the trade chains will be extended, but the oil will get to the end users anyway. There is no way to block it. The United States can complicate Russian oil exports, but it cannot stop it. It can probably exercise certain influence on India, but India will continue to use at least some part of Russia's oil.’ —Dr Andrey Kortunov, Political Analyst at the Valdai International Discussion Club, on the latest episode of New Order.

Here's my full testimony and transcript from the House Science Committee hearing today. Grateful for the opportunity to share our story. -- Chairman Weber, Ranking Member Ross, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify. Less than three years ago, Aalo Atomics was two people. Today, we are 200, and we are about to expand into a MILLION square foot manufacturing facility. On the 4th of July, at 12:20 a.m. near Idaho National Lab, we brought our first reactor to initial criticality. We moved from groundbreaking to a sustained nuclear chain reaction in less than eight months. The reactor used a full-scale core, representative of our 10-megawatt-electric commercial design. One year ago, the Department of Energy established a clear authorization pathway, and set deadlines. Aalo brought the design, the team, the capital, and the execution. Together, we demonstrated that America can build and test new reactors quickly. This work matters. Aalo is developing a critically important technology for the US people: sodium reactors, starting in the thermal spectrum, and eventually expanding to the fast spectrum. With this latter technology, we will be able to use nuclear waste as fuel. Few people realize that there is as much energy contained in US nuclear waste as there is in Global known Oil and Gas reserves. Additionally, the volume of nuclear waste would be reduced significantly by using it as fuel. Lastly, by unlocking Thorium and U-238, we can extend the usable lifespan of nuclear fuel on earth from 100 years, to millions of years. Sodium fast breeder technology unlocks all these things, and Aalo will push hard to make this a reality. To do this, we need HALEU, 20% enriched fuel. Fortunately, that supply chain is getting spun up as we speak by several great American companies. In the meantime, we are using off-the-shelf UO2, LEU. Why? Because the nation has a far more pressing challenge than dealing with nuclear waste, or the limitations of oil and gas in the long term. Artificial Intelligence has arisen in the past 3 years, and is now accelerating faster than ever. AI is an incredibly important national security issue. It is imperative that we not lose to China on this massively impactful technology. The best way to power the development of more AI is with nuclear. Advanced nuclear needs no water, uses a small amount of land, is clean, baseload, and we are proving that it can be affordable and fast to deploy. By using off-the-shelf UO2 fuel, Aalo’s reactors will be able to scale rapidly to meet the growing demand of AI. And thanks to the choice of sodium as our coolant, we will have a very compact, mass-manufacturable design. We are excited to continue working hard to bring these incredible technologies to bear for the American people. Based on our experience, I would offer Congress three priorities to help us continue this momentum. First, ensure that the DOE's Reactor Pilot Program remains a durable pathway, connecting the dots from initial criticality through to sustained full-power operations. Second, ensure that the demonstration data generated under DOE oversight can be credited or adopted in subsequent NRC licensing. Third, continue supporting the full-stack domestic nuclear fuel cycle, including advanced fuels such as HALEU, and ultimately recycling and waste burning. America pioneered much of the world’s nuclear technology. We now have an opportunity to lead again. We are grateful to Congress, the Administration, Secretary Wright, Bob Boston, the Department of Energy, Idaho National Lab, and the career public servants who helped make our demonstration possible. Aalo intends to repay that trust by building reactors, factories, creating American jobs, and by helping restore U.S. leadership in nuclear energy. Thank you.

RUSSIA is dominating the WORLD NUCLEAR ICEBREAKING FLEET ! The NS Ural (Russian: атомный ледокол «Урал») stands as one of Russia's and World's most advanced nuclear-powered icebreakers, embodying the country's determination to dominate Arctic shipping routes. As the third vessel in the Project 22220 (also known as LK-60Ya or Arktika-class) series, Ural represents a new generation of versatile, high-powered icebreakers designed for year-round operations in harsh polar conditions. Operated by FSUE Atomflot under Rosatom, it plays a vital role in escorting cargo along the Northern Sea Route (NSR), supporting Russia's energy exports and strategic Arctic ambitions. Construction of Ural began at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg, with the keel laid on July 25, 2016. The ship launched on May 25, 2019, and underwent sea trials in October 2022 before official commissioning on November 22, 2022, during a flag-raising ceremony. Minor delays occurred due to steam turbine issues and a small fire during outfitting, but the vessel entered service swiftly. It is named after the Ural Mountains and registered in Murmansk. As of 2026, Ural operates alongside sisters Arktika, Sibir, and Yakutia, with more vessels like Chukotka under construction. Ural measures approximately 173 meters (568 feet) in length, with a beam of 34 meters and a displacement of up to 33,540 tons at full load. Its innovative dual-draft design allows a minimum draught of 8.6 meters for shallow river mouths and coastal waters, extending to 10.5 meters for deep-sea operations. This versatility enables the icebreaker to navigate both the open Arctic Ocean and Siberian river estuaries like the Ob and Yenisei. The hull features a reinforced ice-class structure capable of breaking through ice up to 2.8–3 meters thick at a continuous speed of about 2 knots, while achieving 22 knots in open water. A crew of around 75 operates the vessel, which has an endurance of several months for provisions. At the heart of Ural's power are two RITM-200 pressurized water reactors, each providing 175 MWt of thermal capacity (delivering about 30 MW to the propellers per reactor). This fourth-generation nuclear propulsion system offers exceptional reliability, with fuel lasting up to seven years between refuelings. The reactors drive three shaft lines with fixed-pitch propellers, granting immense icebreaking capability while minimizing environmental impact compared to older diesel-electric vessels. The design prioritizes efficiency, safety, and reduced emissions, aligning with modern nuclear maritime standards. Since entering service, Ural has actively supported NSR operations. It has escorted large container ships and bulk carriers through icy waters in the East Siberian and Chukchi Seas, and in early 2025, it carved a 170-nautical-mile ice channel in the Kara Sea at an average speed of 6.7 knots. In winter 2025–2026, Russia deployed all eight of its nuclear icebreakers—including Ural—simultaneously for the first time to maintain export routes amid heavy ice, highlighting the vessel's operational importance for LNG and hydrocarbon shipments. Ural strengthens Russia's Arctic strategy by facilitating faster, safer navigation along the NSR, a route that shortens transit times between Europe and Asia. Amid growing international interest in the Arctic, including from China, these icebreakers secure commercial and geopolitical advantages. With Project 22220 expanding to seven vessels, Ural exemplifies Russia's engineering prowess and long-term commitment to polar supremacy. Its combination of raw power, adaptability, and nuclear endurance makes it a cornerstone of the modern Russian icebreaker fleet, ensuring reliable access to the resources and passages of the frozen north.

🚨🇷🇺WEST IN RAGE: Russia's 3D printing Breakthrough Goes Global Rosatom (Russia's state nuclear corporation) shipped an industrial 3D printer to India — its first export to a far-abroad market. The RusBeam 2800, an electron-beam printer for large metal parts, now produces aerospace components. Russian additive manufacturing is outgrowing import substitution and starting to compete globally. Rostec (Russia's state industrial conglomerate) and Rosatom created the country's first certified reference sample of metal powder — titanium alloy PT-3V. Labs can now calibrate powder characteristics against a single standard: fewer defects, faster certification, a common quality language. It's no coincidence that Rosatom and Rostec lead this push. Nuclear reactors and jet engines demand absolute precision — exactly why the PT-3V reference sample matters. It gives every lab a single benchmark to check powders against, ensuring the hundredth printed part matches the first. Without it, 3D printing stays guesswork. With it, the technology becomes a trusted industrial process. Russian aviation has crossed that threshold: Rostec uses 3D-printed parts in PD-14 and PD-8 engines and has certified the first additively manufactured hot-section component for a serial aircraft engine — a combustor swirler inside the PD-14 powering the MC-21. These announcements are two sides of the same coin. Russia is assembling a complete chain: equipment, materials, software, standards, certification. After 2022, severed supply chains turned 3D printing from a trend into industrial survival. When a critical imported part is unavailable, printing it domestically shifts from convenience to necessity. The market hit 22.3 billion rubles in 2025. Hot-section parts face extreme temperatures and vibration, so certification means the technology has passed its toughest exam. Russia has moved beyond printing samples to building a full-fledged industry — from certified powder to exported machines for the most demanding sectors. Do you think the U.S. can really compete with Russia in this field?

🚨🇷🇺WEST IN RAGE: Russia's 3D printing Breakthrough Goes Global Rosatom (Russia's state nuclear corporation) shipped an industrial 3D printer to India — its first export to a far-abroad market. The RusBeam 2800, an electron-beam printer for large metal parts, now produces aerospace components. Russian additive manufacturing is outgrowing import substitution and starting to compete globally. Rostec (Russia's state industrial conglomerate) and Rosatom created the country's first certified reference sample of metal powder — titanium alloy PT-3V. Labs can now calibrate powder characteristics against a single standard: fewer defects, faster certification, a common quality language. It's no coincidence that Rosatom and Rostec lead this push. Nuclear reactors and jet engines demand absolute precision — exactly why the PT-3V reference sample matters. It gives every lab a single benchmark to check powders against, ensuring the hundredth printed part matches the first. Without it, 3D printing stays guesswork. With it, the technology becomes a trusted industrial process. Russian aviation has crossed that threshold: Rostec uses 3D-printed parts in PD-14 and PD-8 engines and has certified the first additively manufactured hot-section component for a serial aircraft engine — a combustor swirler inside the PD-14 powering the MC-21. These announcements are two sides of the same coin. Russia is assembling a complete chain: equipment, materials, software, standards, certification. After 2022, severed supply chains turned 3D printing from a trend into industrial survival.

🚨 Commodore C. Uday Bhaskar: India🇮🇳-UAE🇦🇪 security ties have STRENGTHENED under Modi and BRICS umbrella, show’s India’s CREDIBILITY as a security partner’ ‘Talking about the bilateral military relationship, the UAE now has Indian officers doing training for their military personnel, including their air force, whereas earlier it was Pakistan, which is indicative of the slow changes, the shifts that are taking place even in West Asia. Specific to the BrahMos, India has now exported or has finalised the deal, as far as Southeast Asia is concerned, and the Philippines has been a country that has chosen the BrahMos. So it is one of the success stories. The BrahMos weapon is also a joint India-Russia venture. Countries like the UAE and others are looking at this as an option, which is indicative of the credibility of India as a military partner for countries that are seeking this kind of capability.’ -Commodore C. Uday Bhaskar, Director of the Society for Policy Studies, on the latest episode of New Order. Watch the full interview in the quoted post below. 👇 C Uday Bhaskar

The Kozyrev Doctrine – Why India Turned Away From Russia and Went West. And Why India needs to be Wary of Jumping Back to Moscow. 1. If hell is run by an Indian, there is a special place in it for Andrei Kozyrev, the Russian foreign minister from 1990 to 1996. 2. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Kozyrev became the new foreign minister of Russia, and supported close ties with the West. He may have been a CIA mole because he single handedly destroyed the decades old Indo-Soviet partnership. 3. As per the Kozyrev Doctrine, the new Russia would no longer give special importance to India but instead would treat India and Pakistan as equals. This Russian foreign policy seemed like it was drafted in Washington DC. 4. The new Russian Doctrine took things too far. When Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao sent his emissary Mani Dixit to the Kremlin to urgently get spare parts for India's armed forces (which depended on Russia for 70% of their requirements), Kozyrev refused to meet him and instead sent a junior diplomat. No guarantees were given about spares. 5. If Pakistan or China had attacked India at that time, India's armed forces would have run out of spares in a week. This was not only a violation of legal contracts but a major betrayal that India's leadership took very seriously. 6. So Pakistan, the country that was responsible for the deaths of 15,000 Soviet lives during the Afghanistan War, was equated with India, a time tested friend. 7. Kozyrev relegated India to a secondary role. And India's leadership was forced to look West. 8. It was under Kozyrev's watch that India diversified away from Russia. Narasimha Rao had no choice but to diversify India's security links as its most crucial erstwhile ally continued to labour in confusion and anxiety over its economic and political status, with no clear signal regarding its foreign policy preferences. 9. Kozyrev currently lives in Miami where he has acquired lots of wealth and a nice tan. He slams Putin to the delight of his American backers (or perhaps CIA handlers). If Kozyrev is indeed an American asset then US intelligence agents deserve Congressional medals for pulling India away from the Russian sphere. 10. Following the Russian betrayal, India splurged billions of dollars on American weapons such as 12 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft ($2 billion), eight P-8I long-range maritime patrol aircraft ($2.1 billion), 10 C-17 Globemaster-III strategic airlift aircraft ($4.1 billion), and 145 ultralight M177 howitzers ($438 million), and 22 Apache attack helicopters plus 15 Chinook heavy-lift choppers ($2.5 billion). 11. The Kremlin has two types of diplomats. The old guard which values Russia's relationship with India and the rest of the world. Vladimir Putin belongs to this group which is currently powerful. 12. The second is the "Look West" group which seeks to build the unviable "Vancouver to Vladivostok Common European Family." Because let's face it, the Anglo Saxon looks down upon the Slav, especially the Russian, as Untermensch - racially inferior. 13. Putin and the old guard know this. The younger Russians are not as aware or do not care about their place on the geopolitical chessboard. All they care about is Starbucks. Many young Russians live in delusion that because they are white the West will welcome them as the last bulwark against the Asian hordes. 14. So the words of Russian diplomat Roman Babushkin hold little value. He is right that unlike the West, Moscow will never impose sanctions against India. But that is true only as long as Putin is around. The next generation of Russian leaders will once again sell their country to the Americans - just like Yeltsin and Kozyrev did. 15. Modi's Multilateralism is the best policy for India. Work with everybody. But do not trust anybody. The US is a future adversary - absorb as much technology as possible from it before the inevitable clash. Russia is unreliable - use it as a source of cheap oil and minerals.
