Yesterday's visit to Sochi where there was a meeting of Putin with defence Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman as-Saud, who is also the heir to the throne, received a very interesting press coverage.
The Russians announced a political breakthrough that will inevitably lead to a beneficial increase in the price of oil to $50 dollars. Observers outside of Russia drew attention to the fact that the Minister of defence is not the type of person who will dive into the issues the market value of oil. Even more incredible seemed the imagination of the Russian media on the background of the fact that right at this time in Riyadh was a high-ranking delegation of the USA. But here is the surprise, the Russian press has long lost touch with reality and wanders the back streets of the fictional world.
Ukrainian media, in contrast, issued a number of publications in which it was alleged that Putin was given a black mark from Arab countries. We did not find direct evidence to support these messages, but found something else. Tellingly, there was indeed a crumpled program, which follows the negotiations. This suggests that the receiving party received is not what was expected. In addition, any responsible review of the outcome of the meeting was not followed.However, the Amateur analysts of the Russian Federation issued on the mountain a lot of their versions, which dominated the themes that missiles "Calibre" easily flies to Arabia, and about how long will it extinguish the Saudi oil fields after the Russian strike and how it will affect the price of oil. In short, there really was something unpleasant for Putin. To fantasize on this topic will not, but just pay attention, what occupied the Ministry of defense of Saudi Arabia right now.
We have already written that the Turks and the Saudis have exhausted the long-standing conflict and immediately moved to the tight interaction, in particular, on defence issues. The second week Arabia throws to the air force base at Incirlik the aircraft, technical personnel and special forces group, which are included in the Northern strike force of the coalition forces on the border with Syria. This was reported by the Turkish and European media. However, much less is known about what is being done on the territory of Saudi Arabia itself.
According to the commander of the Saudi National guard, brigade commander of Imam Muhammad bin Saud, in the North of Arabia right now there are unprecedented multinational exercise. It is argued that since the wars in the Gulf region has never seen such a concentration of military. As it became known, is already underway combat coordination of divisions of armed forces from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Senegal, Sudan, Kuwait, Maldives, Morocco, Pakistan, Chad, Turkey, Tunisia, Comoros, Djibouti, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia, Egypt and Mauritania.Now there is assembled a group of more than 150 thousand people. In addition, the exercise involved more than 300 aircraft, "hundreds of tanks" and a number of warships. Moreover, the country put its most capable forces and the most powerful equipment, including fighter jets F16, Typhoon, the Apache helicopters and the AWACS AWACS system. It is known that the exercises began last Saturday and the plan calls for 18 days of active training.
This created the southern attack force, which brings together in a coalition the majority of the Muslim countries in the region. It is possible to assert with full responsibility, as the Saudi press did not even hide it. The purpose of the exercise is testing of the interaction of forces and means when conducting ground operations in Syria. Perhaps this was brought personally to Putin in Sochi.
P. S. according to our colleagues with user-friendly resource «Политическая кухня» the theme of yesterday's visit of Saudi Prince in Sochi was a massive information surge. Why it had to be done — it is difficult to understand. Maybe something was planned, but fell through. We expressed their suspicion in the course of the article. As to the troops in the North of Arabia — information from multiple resources Saudi Arabia itself, so we're sure of completely. as for Putin's Russia, and there never can be sure until the end, even Putin can see whether generally or zagrimirovannyh actor. the further, the more such things, for it goes to the finish line.
