Georgia plans to attack Abkhazia
Russia has information that Georgia is planning a military attack on Abkhazia to seize the capital Sukhumi, the Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a media briefing in Moscow on Monday. He said that the military potential of Georgia was being restored for a repeated act of aggression.

"We have received serious intelligence information, and we shall discuss in detail the Georgian-Abkhazian direction on Tuesday," he said.

"The information is serious. If many media outlets still see Russia as the aggressor in the South Ossetian direction, the plan for seizing Sukhumi is so clear that we shall be able to prove that Georgia was the aggressor in the second direction as well," he added.

Nogovitsyn said that according to the South Ossetian parliament, Georgia's attack on South Ossetia claimed the lives of 2,100 civilians.

Russia is ready to provide substantial evidence in international courts that it was Georgia that initiated the aggression in the Georgia-South Ossetia conflict zone, said Nogovitsyn.

He also added that the situation around Abkhazia and South Ossetia "is changing rather quickly".

He announced the Russian side is performing peacekeeping functions near the port of Poti in strict compliance with the six principles agreed by the Russian and French presidents, Dmitry Medvedev and Nicolas Sarkozy.

He said Russia will not exceed the number of its peacekeepers in South Ossetia defined by international agreements, adding it's "a matter of principle" for Russia.

At the same time Russia will not allow air reconnaissance activities in the area of responsibility of Russian peacekeepers in the Georgia-South Ossetia conflict zone, Nogovitsyn said - "I am just giving warning that we will not allow Georgia to conduct reconnaissance work with impunity. We reserve the right to respond appropriately."

Nogovitsyn said that NATO member countries are continuing to build up a naval group in the Black Sea, and currently there are nine vessels belonging to the alliance, including two from the U.S., one from Spain, Germany and Poland each, and four from Turkey.

"These actions are increasing the degree of tension in the region," stressed Nogovitsyn.

Yes, US and NATO doing all to begin war with Russia (which defending people in S. Ossetia and Russia's safety).

It's terrible how world mass media now accuse Russians actions and support US military help for Georgia!

But all normal, adequate and clever people already understand the real situation, that only aggressors in this war is Georgia, with US mercenaries!

So let's stop this US "democracy", which killed thousands of civillians in many countries! World will live in peace without them

I dont belive in America.

[khavarian]

You people are idiots. Why don't you mention Israel's role in creating a post-Soviet world?

[aviomaster]

++ telkines --- IF ever comes to that ... I think it will ... USA showing real face in the time of economic crisis ...

Where are Russian Submarines , They carry , ICBM's with multiple H-bomb warheads , EVERY USA city will receive one , Lets be honest , You may destroy , Russian NAVY , But you will not have people to fight FOR ... Forget IT . IF it was that easy to CONQUER Russia , I am telling you USA would be first to try IT.

Good bye and good retirement as pensioneer , Moskva !

[edwong3]

I think the only thing "ancient" here is your mind, even though you're probably a kid who knows no better about modern military hardware. Good bye!

[telkines]

no my friend. The rockets of the Moskva are ancient Soviet firecrackers in comparison with the modern tomahawks. The nations worldwide desires the American technology and resources, not the Russian military . The Moskva is an ancient carrier of the 80´s (Soviet times) .

[edwong3]

Your replies are filled with ignorance. The Moskva was designed to "kill" carrier battle groups. All of it's weapons, such as the P-500 Bazalt Surface to Surface Missile (SSM) canisters with their 4K80 missiles, and the 64S-300MPU/3R41 SAMS, have no equal in the West. Go ahead, and "Google" Moskva, and you'll soon find out how puny an Aegis Class vessel is in comparison to the Slava Class Moskva.

[Killazer]

Moskva carries cruise missles that strike at like 3,000 mph and is just at advanced at targeting and attacking multiple ships simulataneously as any US or any other missle cruiser. The US ships are weaker actually in some respects- Tomohawks suck- they are sub sonic and go around 600 mph which make them extremely easy to shoot out of the sky.

The ships are also off Russias large coast in the black sea and can be targeting and hit by cruise missle bombers, land base cruise, you name it.

[telkines]

12 U.S. modern aircrafts + 2 French aircrafts + 1 Italian modern aircraft + 2 Spanish modern aircrafts + 4 British modern aircrafts against an old Russian aircraft.

[telkines]

The "Moskva" (like in the past the "Bismarck" or the "Yamato", were also sunk by combined allied fleets ) are an iron monster-ship of thousands of sailors served in , but , truly, in serious combat, is no match for an combined NATO Fleet with modern Aircrafts, launch-rocket frigates and submarines guided by satellite .

[edwong3]

You can think whatever you want, but the Moskva is armed with similar weapon systems, and has been constantly upgraded through the years to keep it in top combat readiness. What ever "floats your boat" pal.
