TOS-1 was designed for defeating enemy personnel in fortifications, in open country, and in lightly armoured vehicles and transport.

Turkish Sub Confronts Russian Ship in Dardanelles (VIDEO)

The Russian Navy transport ship Yauza was met by a Turkish Navy submarine while passing through the Dardanelles Strait on Monday, Russia's RT reports, citing Turkey's Hurriyet Daily News.

The Russian ship, passing from the Aegean Sea into the Sea of Marmara, is believed to have been on its way to the Black Sea. The video accompanying the news report was reportedly filmed in the city of Canakkale, on the southern coast of the Dardanelles, at their narrowest point.

The Turkish sub is said to have been accompanying a Turkish coast guard vessel.

The Turkish daily emphasized that this was a particularly tense moment, given the situation surrounding the Su-24 bomber shot down by the Turkish Air Force over Syria last week, which resulted in the deaths of two Russian servicemen, and a rapid cooling in relations between Ankara and Moscow.

Moscow has demanded an apology for what it considers an act of aggression on Turkey's part. Ankara, meanwhile, has refused, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stating at a press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday that "no country should ask us to apologize…We apologize for committing mistakes, not for doing our duty."

Not Thinking Strait? Turkey Won't Let Russian Ships Into Bosphorus

The video also comes on the heels of reports that two Turkish Navy subs are following the Russian missile cruiser Moskva, off coast of Syria. The Moskva is charged with protecting the Russian air base at Hmeymim in the Syrian province of Latakia.

The Yauza, a 14,400 ton, a 133 meter transport ship, formerly a polar logistic ship, was obtained by the Russian Navy earlier this year, and handed over to the Navy after an overhaul and deep modernization in May. The ship, built in the 1970s, is equipped with new diesel generators, new crane equipment, and new security, communications and navigation systems. 

On Tuesday, a military diplomatic source told Russia's RIA Novosti that Russian Navy ships are not experiencing any problems in passing through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles at the moment, adding that the Yauza's meeting with the Turkish sub is not out of the ordinary in conditions of heavy traffic in the transit zone.

Kazakhstan Apartment Building Project With Rooftop Skiing Feature Waiting For Approval
How much do you want live in a building like this?



1st December 2015

Design Proposal: Shokhan Mataibekov.

Skiing on the roof might sound like an accident waiting to happen but if this ambitious Kazakhstan building project gets the go-ahead it might just revolutionise the idea of rooftop skiing forever. And when we say “forever”, we mean until the sun implodes and life in our solar system is extinguished. After that cataclysmic event happens, who knows what rooftop skiing will look like?

This new housing complex design, proposed by the architecture group Shokan Mataibekov in Astana – Kazakthstan, will feature 421 apartments contained within 21 storeys. More excitingly than that, it would feature a 1,000-foot ski slope that curves down from the roof all the way to the ground floor.


Design Proposal: Shokhan Mataibekov.

House Slalom, as it’s currently known, would be the first building of its kind anywhere in the known universe. The ski slope would be made of Snowflex, and would operate equally as well in the summer as it would in the winter.

Skiers would get to the top of the slope via a chairlift system. It’s thought at this time that the complex would be made open to the public, not just apartment residents (making it a potential treat for everyone in Astana, not just the crib-owners). The project is currently awaiting approval from city officials. If this idea gets the bureaucratic thumbs-up, how much would you like to see one constructed in your city/town/village/hamlet?

BREAKING: RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES DESTROY TURKISH 'ARMS DEPOT'

Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 29 Νοε 2015

Sub for more: http://nnn.is/the_new_media | Video just published by the Turkish aid agency, Humanitarian Relief Foundation, also known as IHH shows Russian airstrikes destroying one of their baking facilities.

Some have alleged the facility is an arms depot covering as a bread bakery.

According to IHH officials, Russian jets first targeted positions close to the bakery as a warning. As people inside the bakery left for safety they recorded the airstrikes demolishing the building.

Clearly in the second hit on the facility secondary explosions can be seen lending credence to the arms depot claims.

The bakery produces around 16,000 loaves per day and no one was killed or wounded in the strike.

We'll continue to monitor these developments as more information becomes available.
