Portions of the address talking about the United States and NATO:

Russian President Vladimir Putin: “In a state of full readiness for guaranteed use there are strategic nuclear forces. What we planned in the area weapons, as I spoke about in the 2018 Address [Included below] everything has been done, or this work is being completed.

Thus, the Kinzhal hypersonic aviation complex has not only been put into service, but is also used with high efficiency for hitting particularly important targets during a special military operation. Also, the Zircon sea-based hypersonic strike complex, which was not even discussed in the 2018 Address, has already been used in battle, but this system is already in service.

Intercontinental hypersonic units are on combat duty range "Avangard" and laser complexes "Peresvet". Tests of an unlimited-range cruise missile are being completed "Burevestnik" and unmanned underwater apparatus "Poseidon". These systems confirmed their high, It is no exaggeration to say that it has unique characteristics. The first serial heavy vehicles were also delivered to the troops. Sarmat ballistic missiles. We will soon demonstrate them in operational deployment areas.

Work on a number of other promising weapons systems continues, and about our new achievements We will still learn more about scientists and gunsmiths.

Russia is ready for dialogue with the United States of America on issues of strategic stability. But here what I would like to emphasize, dear colleagues, so that everyone understands me correctly: in this case we are dealing with a state whose ruling circles are taking action against us open hostile actions. So what? They are seriously going to discuss with us issues of strategic stability, while at the same time trying to inflict on Russia, as they themselves say, strategic defeat on the battlefield?

A clear example of this can be given hypocrisy. Recently, unfounded accusations have been increasingly heard, for example, against Russia, that we are allegedly going to place nuclear weapons in space. Such stuffing - and this is nothing more than stuffing - is a trick only to to draw us into negotiations on their terms, which are exclusively beneficial United States.

At the same time, they block our proposal, which has been sitting on their desk for over 15 years. I am referring to the draft treaty on preventing the placement of weapons in outer space, which we prepared back in 2008. There is no reaction. What they are talking about is not at all clear.

Therefore, we have every reason to believe that the words of today’s American authorities about their alleged interest in negotiations with us on strategic issues stability is demagoguery. On the eve of the US presidential elections, they just want to show their citizens and everyone else that still rule the world. Like, on those issues where it is beneficial for America to negotiate, we will have a conversation with the Russians, but where it is not beneficial for them, there is nothing to discuss, as they themselves say, business as usual, there they will strive to defeat us.

But that certainly won’t work. Our position is clear: if you want discuss responsible, important questions for the whole planet security and stability, then it is necessary to do this only in a single complex, naturally, including all those aspects that affect our national interests and directly affect the security of our country, on the security of Russia.

We also understand that the West is trying drag us into an arms race, thereby most wear out, repeat the trick that they succeeded in the 80s with the Soviet Union. Let me remind you: in 1981–1988, military expenditures of the USSR amounted to 13 percent of the gross national product.

Therefore, our task is to develop the military-industrial complex to build up scientific, technological, industrial country potential. It is necessary to be as rational as possible distribute resources and build an effective economy of the Armed Forces, achieve the maximum for every ruble defense spending. It is important for us to increase the pace in solving social, demographic, infrastructural and other problems and at the same time reach a qualitatively new level of army equipment and the fleet.

First of all, this concerns general-purpose forces, the principles of their organization, supplies to the troops of unmanned strike systems, air defense systems and radio-electronic combat, reconnaissance and communications, high-precision and other means defeats.

There is a serious need to strengthen the factions in the western strategic direction in order to neutralize the threats associated with another expansion of NATO to the east, drawing Sweden and Finland into the alliance.

The West provoked conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and other regions of the world and continues to lie. Now they declare without any embarrassment that Russia allegedly intends to attack Europe. Simply - we are with you We understand that they are talking nonsense. And at the same time they themselves choose the targets for application. strikes on our territory, choose the most effective, as they think, means of destruction. They started talking about the possibility of sending NATO troops to Ukraine military contingents.

But we remember the fate of those who guided once their contingents into the territory of our country. But now the consequences for possible interventionists will be much more tragic. They must in the end finally understand that we also have weapons - yes, they just know about it said - which can hit targets on their territory.

And everything they come up with now is what scare the whole world that all this really threatens a conflict with the use nuclear weapons, which means the destruction of civilization - don’t they understand this, or what? These, you know, are people who have not gone through difficult trials - they have already forgotten what war is. We, even our current generation, have gone through Through such difficult trials during the fight against international terrorism in the Caucasus, now - in the context of the conflict in Ukraine - the same thing is happening. And they think that for them these are all some kind of cartoons.

What can I say, really, Russophobia, like other ideology of racism, national superiority and exclusivity, blinds, deprives one of reason. Actions of the USA and its satellites actually led to the dismantling of the system European security. This creates risks for everyone.”

Air Defenses in the Middle East Largely Successful

Pentagon: In late January, three U.S. soldiers were killed and 40 other service members were injured at Tower 22 of the Jordanian Defense Network, a military base in Jordan near the Syrian border, following an attack by an uncrewed aerial system.

Those service members were in Jordan to support Operation Inherent Resolve, a U.S. combined mission working by, with, and through regional partners to ensure the defeat of ISIS.

Singh said the loss of lives at the base is tragic, and Centcom is assessing and reviewing the attack to find out what happened, why it happened, and how a drone was able to evade air defenses.

She also noted that in the Middle East, following more than 160 similar attacks, U.S. air defenses in the region have been mostly successful.

"For a majority, those attacks have been unsuccessful," she said.

"We've seen a majority of those attacks have minor damage to infrastructure, incur minor casualties to our service members," she said. "For the most part, our air defenses have been able to catch or been able to destroy any impact or any incoming ... whether it be rockets or drones at bases."
