Policy of integration,  Russia and South Ossetia can combine the power structures.(BFM).[GoogleTranslate].

Power and military structures of South Ossetia may join the Russian.

Customs border crossing points between the two countries abolished, and people can move freely between countries. This is stated in the draft of a new union treaty between Russia and South Ossetia, write "Vedomosti" . In particular, it is said that the KGB of South Ossetia, as well as other bodies of internal affairs will become part of Russian authorities. Customs authorities also will join the Russian, but the charges remain in the budget of the republic. Passage of people and goods will be free.

Salaries of civil servants, pensions and benefits will be raised to the level of the North Caucasian Federal District. Moscow also will commit to a coordinated foreign policy.

De facto, this document means that South Ossetia is already a part of Russia, the analyst believes Anatoly Chekhoev political scientist

"I think that this document has a wider order. In fact, the border is removed. We in South Ossetia held a referendum, said: "We want to unite with Russia." There are serious obstacles to this after the Crimean issue. The concept of it is de jure South Ossetia - an independent state; but de facto it is actually already a part of Russia. And there is nothing wrong with this situation, which is supported by an absolute majority of the population. "

Earlier, the head of the presidential administration of South Ossetia Boris Chochiev said that the final document could still change significantly.

A month ago, a similar treaty of alliance and entered into a strategic partnership between Russia and Abkhazia. However, according to the head of the Parliament of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov, the current document will be "a more integrative in nature."

Three days ago, on a visit to Tskhinvali came Russian presidential aide Vladislav Surkov. It rebelled in Tbilisi. They stated that "Russia is trying to annex the Tskhinvali region."

Prospects of entering South Ossetia into Russia Union State, or a new document will not, at this agreement only gives the cooperation between the two countries formal character, the director of the Center for Strategic Analysis Institute of Innovative Development Andrey Ivanov.

Russian 'Nuclear Train' will be operational by 2018.

Russian 'Nuclear Train' will be operational by 2018. (NTV).[GoogleTranslate].

Moscow Institute of Thermal began development of the railway combat missile system (BZHRK). The so-called nuclear trains can enter the Russian Army after 2018.

On the development BZHRK " Interfax "reported in the military-industrial complex.

New BZHRK, called "Barguzin" which entered into service one of the Strategic Missile Forces missile divisions of up to five missile regiments, said the official.

Source : "The decision to develop BZHRK accepted. Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology has already begun development work. "According to him, this work will be completed by 2018.

BZHRK a train, in cars which are placed intercontinental ballistic missiles. When it looks a "nuclear train" is no different from the usual train.

In the Soviet Union as part of the Strategic Missile Forces had three divisions with BZHRK "Well done." They were stationed in the Kostroma region, Perm and Krasnoyarsk regions.

In total, the Soviet Army had 12 trains, each of which had three nuclear missiles. In 2005, in connection with the expiration of operation was decided to eliminate the missile trains.

By 2007, all trains were scrapped and launchers, but two established as exhibits in the museum of railway equipment at the Warsaw station in St. Petersburg and the Technical Museum "AvtoVAZ". More here.

"RESET" - 'Nuclear train' returns: Russia to deploy rail-based missiles to counter US 'Prompt Global Strike'

"RESET" - 'Nuclear train' returns: Russia to deploy rail-based missiles to counter US 'Prompt Global Strike'.(RT).

“A Defense Ministry report has been submitted to the president and the order has been given to develop a preliminary design of a rail-mounted missile system,” the commander of the Strategic Missile Force, Lt. Gen. Sergey Karakayev, said Wednesday, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

General Karakayev compared a potential power of a “nuclear train” with several missiles to a division of stationery silo-based intercontinental ballistic missiles.
“Our missile officers are frustrated that we don’t possess such a system today,” Karakayev said Wednesday. “When the Supreme Commander-in-Chief [President Vladimir Putin] asked me about it, I expressed full support in the railroad-based missile systems.”

Russia used to possess the intercontinental ballistic missile system RT-24 Yars (NATO designation: SS-24 Scalpel) disguised as an ordinary freight train, inherited from the Soviet Union. With Russia’s extremely vast railroad system, detection and preemptive destruction of that system was extremely difficult.

“We see the future missile as solid-fueled, with multiple warheads – with RT-24 Yars as a prototype. We are talking of modifying missiles that are to weigh 47 tons. To compare, a missile in the old nuclear train weighed 110 tons,” Karakayev said.

Within the framework of the START-II nuclear arms reduction treaty with the US, signed by President Boris Yeltsin and his US counterpart, George H. W. Bush in 1993, the SS-24 Scalpel system was decommissioned and all launching platforms were destroyed by 2007.

The ‘New START’ treaty signed by presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama in 2011 does not limit the use of railway-based systems, so in 2012 Russia reconsidered development of a new version of a railway-based strategic missile system.

One year later, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced the new railroad missile system would be developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology – the same institute that developed the sea-based Bulava nuclear missile for the latest generation of Borey-class submarine strategic nuclear missile carriers.

The Institute is expected to present a blueprint of the system within the next six months.

The project is aimed at countering the threat posed by the US Conventional Prompt Global Strike concept. This concept implies destroying stationary targets with hypersonic missiles armed with conventional warheads in any part of the planet within an hour of receiving an order.

A constantly moving “nuclear train” is viewed as a hard target for that still-being-developed system.

Last week, Russia’s Deputy PM Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the Russian military and defense industry, called America’s Conventional Prompt Global Strike concept “the most important new strategy being developed by the United States today.” Rogozin warned that in case Russia becomes a target of such a strike, “in certain circumstances we will of course respond with nuclear weapons.”

Recently, Rogozin also announced that Russia was developing strike hypersonic missiles itself.Hmmmm.....Welcome to the "Changed Obama World"...... the Obama legacy to your children and grandchildren.
