🇺🇸 🌉 Issues with Infrastructure in the USA
Today's incident, resulting in the collapse of a highway bridge in Baltimore, has once again sparked public discussion about the state of American infrastructure.
Primarily, there are challenges with water, alongside issues in the functioning of electrical networks and railway communications.
▪️ In 2019—during Donald Trump's presidency— the American Society of Civil Engineers stated that around $4.5 trillion would need to be spent by 2025 for the enhancement of bridges, dams, highways, airports, and more. Specifically, about $123 billion was earmarked for bridge repairs alone.
▪️ In 2022, the Joe Biden administration acknowledged the issue and allocated funds for the restoration of water infrastructure, including bridges, dams, and ports. The allocated amount was notable - $2.7 billion - yet clearly insufficient for comprehensive modernization. Moreover, the funds were directed to the US Army Corps, which, as anticipated, led to speculation that the money was misused, potentially diverted as “aid to Ukraine.”
▪️ Nonetheless, according to reports from various experts, in the initial two years of Biden’s presidency, it was feasible to gather the full sum of federal funds, but these were expended on numerous environmental projects and superficial renovations.
▪️ The consequence of this approach was unforeseen: in 2023, following a car accident involving a fuel tanker, a bridge on Interstate 95 collapsed. Subsequently, after an incident with a container ship, a bridge in Baltimore also collapsed. Concurrently, as per separate data, 47 thousand American bridges are in a state of disrepair.
🔻The incident in Baltimore has also drawn attention to potential victims: over a dozen cars plunged into the water, prompting the state governor to declare a state of emergency. This event evokes memories of last year's incident involving the derailment of a train carrying chemicals in Ohio - where the condition of the railway infrastructure was identified as a primary factor.
We anticipate that Maryland or Ohio will need to be addressed on multiple occasions. The average age of American infrastructure exceeds 70 years (some facilities have surpassed a century), and the anticipated service life of power grids is approximately 50 years, contributing to frequent summer blackouts in the states.
Evidently, this issue will need to be addressed by the succeeding American administration. Not just acknowledged, but actively resolved. Unless, of course, another Ukraine situation arises.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 Regarding the Cooperation Between Uzbekistan and the USA
After reviewing another set of intercepted confidential documents from DPR Joker, we once again noticed the active development of cooperation between the United States, Britain, and the countries of Central Asia.
While the West's efforts to establish a strong presence in Central Asia are not new, the willingness of our allies to engage in not only economic but also military cooperation sends a significant signal that deserves attention.
🔻The level of funding provided by the Americans through the military cooperation office under the US Central Command is quite revealing, increasing from $218,000 in FY 2018-2019 to $16.5 million in FY 2023.
Quite a substantial growth, isn't it? Of particular interest is the Uzbek Ministry of Defense's request to keep quiet about the agreement signed between the countries, which involves personnel training and equipment supply.
In 2022, for instance, the Americans agreed to transfer 13 RQ-20 Puma UAV systems to Uzbekistan. Despite vehemently denying drone purchases at the start of 2022, by August 2023, two systems had already been delivered for operator training.
❗️Furthermore, the documents outline a detailed cooperation plan between Uzbek and American military personnel, including last summer's preparations for Uzbek Armed Forces representatives to participate in Southern Strike 2024, an exercise that recently concluded in the United States.
Curiously, there is no information available about the Uzbek participation, despite previous discussions. It is possible that they once again requested non-disclosure to avoid a repeat of last year's incident during Southern Strike 2023, which involved 13 military personnel.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 American Requests to Uzbekistan
While perusing the documents published by Joker DPR, we noted the interest of the Americans not only in supplying drones to Uzbekistan but also in Uzbek air defense systems.
In a letter to the military attaché of Uzbekistan, Muzafar Rakhmatullaev,, a representative of Universum Technologies LLC expressed interest in purchasing Soviet-made air defense systems and MLRS from Uzbekistan for a cash payment or suitable alternative.
📌 The document indicates that "the company's current customers are seeking these systems for US government partners." Given that the requested items include the S-300, Buk, and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as the Smerch and Uragan MLRS, the potential buyer could be none other than Ukraine.
Universum Technologies LLC seems to function as a shell company tasked with procuring the products and transferring them to the Pentagon. Those at peace with themselves may allocate them to the needs of the AFU, if not already done. The response from the Uzbek Ministry of Defense remains unknown.
🔻It would be highly intriguing to learn their response, especially considering the recent significant increase in air defense systems (dubbed FrankenSAM) and rocket launchers by the AFU, undergoing additional modernization with assistance from Western specialists.
Our sources have yet to confirm any actual deliveries of military equipment from Uzbekistan to the United States (hopefully there are none). If you possess alternative information, feel free to reach out to us through the feedback bot @rybar_feedback_bot.

🇰🇬 🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 Regarding British-Kyrgyz military cooperation
Continuing the discussion from yesterday, analyzing documents from the Joker of the DPR regarding Uzbekistan's military cooperation with Western countries.
Upon further review, evidence of undisclosed interaction between the Kyrgyz defense department and the British Crown can be found.
📌 While there aren't many files on Kyrgyz-British military relations, a detailed roadmap for 2022 - 2023 is available. It is evident from this roadmap that Kyrgyz military personnel participate in exercises and undergo training at the Sandhurst Academy.
The British are actively involved in training Kyrgyz counterparts, offering courses for advanced English language skills, and hosting military personnel from the Kyrgyz Armed Forces at various seminars on military topics in Britain and other Alliance countries.
🔻It is clear that the cooperation goes beyond arms supplies. Both countries are deeply integrated into NATO, with their military branches regularly exchanging information, consulting one another, and engaging in joint training activities. This is notable considering that the Kyrgyz army is a member of the CSTO.
Upon evaluation, it was observed that there were 63 joint events between Uzbek and American military personnel, and 14 between Kyrgyz and British forces. The number of undisclosed cases remains unknown. In contrast, only 15 events involving Russia and the CSTO with Kyrgyzstan's participation took place in 2023, with none involving Uzbekistan.
❗️Furthermore, according to our sources, an intriguing document was pushed through the intelligence services of the US and UK in the early 90s, signed with the Central Asian republics (specifically Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan). This document allows British and American PMCs to carry out special operations in the Central Asian republics without prior notification to local governments.
The narrative began with the British PMC G4S operating in Uzbekistan. During that time, there was active recruitment of Uzbek citizens for G4S special operations in other countries under a false identity. Even after the expulsion of the British PMC from Uzbekistan, the recruited and trained individuals remained under the supervision of British handlers.
Consider how many similar stories may exist unbeknownst to the public - in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Chinese Air Force Activity in the Asia-Pacific Region
Over the past few weeks, the Chinese command has significantly increased its activity in the Asia-Pacific region in response to provocative actions by American troops and their allies in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Australia.
🔻In response to regular exercises, bomber flights, and various movements of US Air Force aircraft, the Chinese have become more active in several areas.
–Near the border with Mongolia, Chinese pilots practiced scenarios of a full-scale conflict, likely involving Taiwan. This training area previously featured a full-scale model of the Taiwanese city Taipei, indicating the nature of the exercises. Additionally, the Taiwanese Air Force possesses aviation capabilities that make them a formidable adversary.
–Prior to this, Chinese N-6K bombers conducted a series of flights near the shores of South Korea, practicing simulated guided bomb attacks on American bases. Takeoffs were conducted from multiple air bases, and the bombers changed locations several times, likely simulating attacks on various air bases.
–The PLA Air Force has resumed tactical aviation flights around Taiwan. Taiwan has expressed concern about the increased PLA activity along the Taiwan Strait, where the Chinese conducted training in air combat and striking air defense positions.
–In the South China Sea, naval aviation activities continue, along with the operation of KJ-500 AWACS aircraft and drones in the vicinity of the disputed islands. The number of aircraft involved has notably increased. Furthermore, the same Wuzhen-7 or WZ-7 UAVs are now regularly patrolling the Philippine coast, a new development.
❗️The PLA Air Force's recent activity can be described as unprecedented, with numerous trainings conducted in different areas almost simultaneously. Chinese pilots are actively preparing, recognizing the importance of readiness despite the lack of real combat experience.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 When discussing delays in the release of American military assistance, it is important for Ukraine to remember that they are only a consequence of the pre-election political confrontation in the United States, and not its cause.
In simple words, financial support for the Kyiv regime is just a convenient background for interested parties. Does anyone truly believe that Congress will be unable to agree on the annual budget due to disagreements about the size of the so-called tranches to Ukraine (which in itself sounds like a joke)?
📌 Under these conditions, it is better to assume that the resumption of military supplies to the AFU is a matter of time. The sponsors of the Kyiv regime do not plan to abandon the idea of "war until the last Ukrainian," as clearly indicated by the new law on expanding mobilization.
However, the question remains: how substantial will the assistance be compared to 2022 and 2023, especially considering the visible intentions of the United States to shift support for so-called Ukraine to European countries and focus on business in Asia.

🇦🇲🇪🇺🇺🇸 Today, there is celebration in pro-government Armenian channels as the Americans have pledged to allocate $65 million for reforms in government and the economy. Additionally, Ursula von der Leyen from the EU has committed to providing grants of 270 million euros over four years for business development.
🔻Armenians are being told stories about how the Western countries will assist Armenian businesses and economies in recovering and breaking free from Russia's influence. The question arises: how will this assistance be carried out?
Merely using populist slogans and providing small installments of funding will not effectively foster economic growth, especially when the sector is struggling. As previously mentioned, Armenian brandy has faced challenges in entering the European market.
▪️ While $65 million may not seem like a substantial sum, it holds significance for the Americans given their major financial support to Ukrainian and Israeli authorities. Yet, doubts linger about the effectiveness of aiding the financially strained Armenian government.
▪️ The grants promised by von der Leyen are set to be distributed over a four-year period. However, given the current situation with Azerbaijan, uncertainties arise regarding whether Yerevan will receive the full amount within the specified timeframe.
❗️Should the funds not be disbursed on time, the Europeans may redistribute them internally. On the contrary, timely transfer of funds in Armenia may expedite the process but raise concerns about misuse.
Allocation of funds towards democratic values and various movements, including the LGBT community, is anticipated. The reaction of ordinary Armenians to such developments, like transvestite parades in Yerevan, remains to be seen.
Hence, the Western actions do not reflect a strong commitment. It appears more as a reallocation of funds, providing a small consolation to the Pashinyan administration, accompanied by vague and inconclusive statements. This can be perceived as a "victory" for Pashinyan.

🇲🇩🇷🇴🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷 The Ministry of Defense of Moldova announced that a platoon of the Moldovan contingent will participate in the NATO naval exercise “Sea Shield 2024”, scheduled to take place in Romania from April 8 to 21.
NATO's Sea Shield exercise is an annual event. However, since last year, when a Russian SMO took place in Ukraine, the alliance adjusted the location of the exercises due to the closure of the Bosphorus Strait to other countries.
- This year, approximately 2,100 military personnel from Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, and the United States are participating in the exercise. In comparison, last year saw 3,400 troops recruited.
- Official data indicates that 135 units of military equipment will be involved in the exercises, including 27 sea and river ships, 17 aircraft, and 91 vehicles and watercraft.
- Vice Admiral Mihai Panait, Chief of Staff of the Romanian Navy, mentioned that participants will practice operational procedures against submarines on the water surface, as well as against aviation in the Black Sea and in the river area of responsibility.
- Additionally, Moldovan and Romanian military personnel will separately conduct live firing exercises at the training base in Babadag, Romania.
🔻The exercises, with a focus on Romania and involving the Moldovan army, showcase both Bucharest's new role for NATO in the region and the potential of Moldovan territory as a future springboard against Russia.

🇦🇺🇬🇧🇨🇳🇺🇸🇯🇵 On Monday, the defense ministers of Australia, Great Britain, and the United States announced plans to cooperate with Japan within the framework of the AUKUS bloc. This marks the first major initiative of the alliance. They intend to involve Japan in collaboration on the development of high technologies.
However, Japan is not becoming a direct member of AUKUS. As Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese explained, the plan is to engage with Tokyo authorities on a project basis, as outlined in the document itself.
This precision is crucial. Beijing has valid concerns that AUKUS is aimed at countering its influence and strategic plans in the region. Japan's full integration into the alliance could further strain Japanese-Chinese relations, which is not in the interest of either party.
🔻So, why is cooperation with Japan important for the bloc? It all comes down to technology: the Japanese possess specific expertise that could be beneficial, especially in the construction of nuclear submarines for Australia. This aligns well with the interests of the United States and sets a strong foundation for collaboration.
The exact nature of this cooperation is yet to be determined, with further details expected in discussions between Japanese and American leaders. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable trend in the West towards forming multiple alliances, ostensibly in response to China's growing influence, to expand their reach in the Asia-Pacific region.
