Exchange of "courtesy" before the Alaska Summit!

B-2 Spirit bombers and the unceasing "Storm" (a reference to a Russian missile system).

Article by Sergey Iseenko published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta on August 19.

The bombers flew over Trump and Putin's heads, but there was also a similar interesting event in Russia before this incident.

Russia's demonstration of its extreme preparations for new strategic weapons made the United States unexpectedly willing to compromise in negotiations.

Observations from the German newspaper Bild* are interesting.

Opinion of Professor Thomas Jäger from the University of Cologne, who called the Anchorage Summit a "performance full of hidden gestures and signals."

Usually, the B-2 is not used in standard honor ceremonies, which may be a display of American military power.

Bombers are rarely used to send diplomatic signals; instead, their role has always been as a source of threat.

This bomber can strike global targets directly from the U.S. mainland with almost no warning, and thanks to its advanced stealth capabilities that reduce radar detection, it possesses a unique striking power.

But shrewd politicians and strategists like Putin would not ignore it. It is now clear: Russia also has such a "gift."

And even more dangerous than America's "Spirit."

In this regard, one cannot fail to notice the reports in Western media before the meeting about "Russia apparently preparing to test a new 'Poseidon' missile equipped with a nuclear power unit before the Alaska Summit."

According to a U.S. news magazine, after receiving such a serious signal from Novaya Zemlya, the U.S. Air Force launched a WC-135R aircraft to monitor nuclear tests in the atmosphere, and even approached Russian nuclear facilities in the Arctic Ocean in advance.

The Russian subsonic missile "Storm" is considered an intercontinental ballistic missile with global range, equipped with a nuclear power unit.

Its flight distance is actually unlimited, thanks to the miniature reactor installed on it.

The missile can fly at speeds exceeding 850 kilometers per hour at low altitudes, making it difficult for enemy air defense systems to detect it in advance. It can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads.

According to Chinese military expert Sun Zhongping: "If successfully developed, this weapon may change the global strategic nuclear landscape to some extent."

Experts point out that Russia is the first country to develop nuclear-powered nuclear weapons.

Especially noteworthy is the fact that in the aforementioned NOTAM, the corresponding restrictions north of the Arctic Circle were valid until August 12.

In other words, these restrictions should have been lifted before the Alaska Summit.

However, it is well known that the "Storm" did not launch this month.

Because the Americans suddenly became compliant in the preparation for Putin's visit to Alaska.

Evidently—enough has been done, there is no need to deepen the impression further.
