AIR TRAVEL INCREASING

Petrograd, July 15, 4871: Citizen Lazar Moseievich Zinoviev, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, met with Ministry officials, managers of the Pshenichnikov International Airport, and executives of the two principal air travel consortiums, SeverAvialini and Nebo Mezhdunarodnaya (Sky International), at the offices of SeverAvialini in the international airport in Petrograd to discuss the future of air travel from Petrograd.


Minister of Infrastructure and Transport L.M.Zinoviev

Air travel from Petrograd to and from the nations of Keris has long been dominated by business travel; however, because of aggressive discounting and package deals for families of business travellers, many citizens of our Socialkist Republic are taking holidays and vacationing in the other nations of Keris.



Many citizens of Federativniyye Sotsialisticheskiye Respubliki Triguniya are traveling to Dolgava to hike in the Hokotoff Mountainns in the northeast. Also popular ate triops to the capital at aikums for baseball games which have balthusian and possibly Hutorian roots.



In trips to Kizenia and New Endralon most go the rich historical musums of Portesi and the nearby mountains for mountain climbing.

Travelers to Egelion generally go to Demar Solad, the capital andd then to the Gadaros Mountains to the west or the finest beach resorts in Keris to the south.

RAILWAY CAR GAUGE CHANGES

Petrograd, June 13, 4872: Citizen L. M. Zinoviev, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, met with Ministry railroad managers for the Federal Socialist Republic of Zarvospol today to discuss how the plan was proceeding to deal with the inconsistency of railroad gauges throughout the nation which hauls perhaps as much as 80 of our industrial and agricultural products. In the Republic of Zarvospol the difficulties were most acute. After the meeting Comrade Zinoviev issued the following statement.

In the Federal Socialist Republic of Brakav and the island of Itasaarii, things are proceeding as planned. Here on the Island of Chadonia there have been some developments particularly in Zarvospol. In Zropol a good deal of the 1435 mm gauge track is being severed from the national grid and will be in self contained grids servicing portions of the city. Accordingly, there will be 750 mm isolated grids, 1435 mm isolated grids and 1520 mm gauge track connected to the national grad. This seems like a satisfactory arrangement for passenger traffic and will allow a good deal of the rolling stock to remain in service; however, we seriously question whether this a permanent solution for industrial transportation. We suggest that management at all levels engage in criticism self criticism to see if a better solution emerges.

Near and in Petrograd there are pockets of self contained 1067 mm narrow gauge track while the Imperial Trigunian gauge 1524 mm track is being converted to 1520 mm Trigunian Standard gauge track. The Zarvospol State University Engineering Department is trying two different approaches to permitting existing 1524 mm gauge rolling stock to continue in use. Dish shaped wheels have been provided to some rolling stock so that on the day of the change the wheels could be reversed and continue in use. For some other railway cars, a special ring has been machined to hold the wheel at the smaller gauge. In the long run, most rolling stock will receive new axles machined to the slightly smaller gauge over time.

In the Federal Socialist Republic of Radin there are few problems in isolating the remaining narrow gauge track of 1067 mm.

Defense Minister M.F. Saburov

STAFF OFFICERS AND FORMER MINISTER SUSPECTED OF PLOT

National Defense Command Center, May 19, 4875: Citizen Mikhail Fedorovich Saburov, the Defense Minister, announced that arrests had been made by military security. Comrade Saburov issued the following statement:

Yesterday a meeting at a military facility was raided by military police acting under my orders as Defense Minister and those attending were apprehended and detained in custody at Rodshyadam Naval Facility pending investigation and interrogation. Court Martials are anticipated. Twelve senior officers of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and Navy Staff are the subject of the inquiry.

Former Finance Minister A.F. Klenau and several of his aides were arrested at the meeting and have been transferred to SGB Headquarters for interrogation. The arrests were sparked by internet, social media and telecommunications traffic monitored by military intelligence and the Eighth Chief Directorate of the State Security Service.

Although details are sketchy, the likely plan seems to have at least three parts. First agents provocateur were to stir dissension among lower ranks of the Krasnyy Trigunskiy Soyuz governing coalition based on the failure to nationalize all aspects of the economy contrary to Metzist theory.

Second, when some measure of at least street demonstrations was achieved, the conspirators hoped to engineer imposition of martial law. Third, Former Finance Minister A. F. Klenau and other like minded political allies would then impose virtually unrestricted central government rule and expand the Revolution abroad by military means.

Since the conspiracy was foundering on the less than successful stirring of unrest, it is thought the meeting was to select an alternative excuse for martial law. It should be noted it is not clear whether recruiting Citizen Klenau, at one time the best known and most popular Hulstrian national politician, might not also be part of the reason for the meeting.

Finance Minister L.M. Zinoviev

COBALT MINING EXPANSION

Sebenogorsk, January 13, 4877: Citizen L. M. Zinoviev, the Minister of Finance, and Citizen A. K. Frunze, Minister of Science and Technology, met with executives of the Zavrospol Minerals Company and managers of the State Mining Corporation to discuss cobalt mining.

Cobalt is an element almost always combined in ore on Terra except for the occasional deposit in an otherwise iron meteorite. It is generally extracted by smelting. Cobalt is used for lithium batteries, for wear resistant and high strength alloys and for making Cobalt 60, a radioisotope used as a radioactive tracer and for production of gamma rays.

Zavrospol Minerals Company (ZMC) has been mining in the northern part of the mountains in the eastern part of the Federal Socialist Republic of Zavrospol for some time. Their cobalt production has really been a by product of their nickel and copper mining. While it has been profitable, ZMC is disinclined to make it the focus of a major undertaking in territory unfamiliar to its usual operations. On the other hand, if the government insists it prefers giving it a try to nationalization.

Comrade Zinoviev indicated the government seriously wants to begin extraction of the cobalt rich manganese crust of the ocean floor between Zarvospol and Vrosnok. The ore there from samples in guyots, isolated volcanic mountains on the sea bottom, indicate that the ore is 1% or more cobalt rather the usual .7%. The government understands that using ships converted to drilling while not an overly expensive measure might well yield unsatisfactory results since generally the drilling can not go deeper than ½ a meter.

The Ministry of Science and Technology working with the Novy Olvar Institute of Arctic Research, the Koszalin State Mining University and the State Mining Corporation has developed a drilling rig capable of extracting monolithic rock to a depth of 1.12 meters, the Trigunian GBU-1/4000. The manganese extracted may well pay for the operation; manganese phosphating can prevent rust and corrosion of steel while manganese dioxide can be used as the electron acceptor in zinc carbon and alkaline batteries.

In any event the Finance Minister announced the government will proceed with the project as a function of the State Mining Corporation without ZMC which can keep on doing what is good at doing.

MiG- 35

TRIBORONEXPORT MAKING MODERN AIR SALE TO LIORE

National Defense Command Center, July 17, 4877: Citizen M.F. Saburov, Minister of Defense, after meeting with senior officers of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, issued the following statement:

TriBoronExport, the government owned military sales corporation, will sell to the Government of the Sovereign State of Liore, for an agreed upon price acceptable to both, 50 MiG- 35’s, 19 Su-25 SM’s, 14 Tu-142 MZ’s and 17 Su-34’s.

The MiG – 35 was developed by Trigunian Aircraft Company and Flight Research Institute, part of the State Aircraft Corporation conglomerate as an improved version of the MiG -29 with the newest electronic equipment and new engines. Its primary role is gaining air superiority but also has capacity for all weather precision ground strikes and aerial reconnaissance with special equipment. It is armed with a 30 mm cannon carrying 150 rounds, air to air and air to surface missiles, unguided rockets and both precision guided and free fall bombs. Its radar detection is more resistant to countermeasures than earlier models and can track more targets at a greater range. The MiG -35 has a maximum speed of 2560 km per hour.

The Su – 25 SM was developed by Sulievievich Aircraft Company, a part of the State Aircraft Corporation conglomerate, as a single seat twin engine jet for close support of ground forces. The Su-25 SM has enhancements over the original Su-25 to considerably extend the service life of the aircraft and a digital computer great improving navigation and attack precision as wellas a laser range finder, thermal imager, all weather tracking, forward and rearward missile approach warning system, radar homing and warning system and wing mounted radar jamming pods. It has a maximum speed of 970 km per hour and is armed with a 3o mm cannon, gun pods for two 23 mm autocannons, rockets, air to air missiles, air to surface missiles, anti radiation missiles, concrete penetrating, general purpose, incendiary and TV guided bombs as well as a decoy dispenser.

The Tu- 142 MZ was developed by the Tumirorich Design Bureau from a Tu-95 bomber by stretching the fuselage to accommodate antisubmarine warfare, avionics, reconnaissance and communications equipment. The Tu-142MZ has improvements over the TU-142 prototypes in the form of reinforced undercarriage, greater weaponry, increased payload, and greater range.

After silencing technology rendered traditional sonar less useful in submarine detection, explosive sound systems were developed to be used to locate deeply submerged submarines resulting in the Udar – 75 search and targeting device employed on the Tu – 142 MZ. The Udar -75 has been replaced by a newer target acquisition system for detecting surface and submerged submarines and communication with other ASW aircraft and its home base. Tumirovich has now developed the Zarechye sonar system compatible with the newest sonar buoys and achieving 50% more coverage.

The Su – 34 was developed by by Sulievievich Aircraft Company, a part of the State Aircraft Corporation conglomerate, as a twin seater, twin engine, all weather fighter/bomber strike aircraft designed primarily for striking ground and naval targets. It has greater maneuverability and less trim drag than the earlier models from which it was derived. It has a maximum speed of 2200 km per hour and is armed with a 30 mm cannon carrying 260 rounds and 12 hardpoints for weapons combinations of rockets, air to air, air to surface, anti radiation and air to ship missiles, as well as guided, general purpose and cluster bombs.
