Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] The Pentagon has announced a tender for the purchase of books by Western authors about Russian military strategy for training US Air Force personnel. The application was posted on the American government procurement website. The American military department decided to purchase the works of King’s College London lecturer Ofer Friedman “Strategy: the basis of Russian military strategy”, “Russia’s Grand Strategy in the Age of Global Energy Competition” by Andrew Morgan and the work of another English expert Sameul Ramani, dedicated to the conflict in Ukraine. In addition, the Pentagon decided to buy books about the works of military classics of Ancient China, the strategy of war in space and the use of artificial intelligence in conflicts. There are six books in total in the tender, with $600 allocated for each. The tender is scheduled to be completed on June 15. It is reported that the books, after purchase, will be delivered to Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. The Air University and the Air Force Historical Research Agency are located there. The winning vendors are required to deliver the books to the Air Force Command and General Staff College in Montgomery, Alabama, within 30 days of bid approval. The tender is carried out according to a simplified procedure. As Regnum reported, in December 2020, the Pentagon announced its intention to purchase Russian Mi-24 or Mi-17 helicopters, as well as the An-2 aircraft. It was reported that this was needed to train military pilots in tactics courses to simulate a "realistic" enemy during exercises. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on May 18 that the acute phase of the confrontation between Russia and the West has not only not ended, but is in full swing. The minister noted the particular zeal in attacks on Russia in some European countries. The West is promoting the myth of an imaginary Russian threat to accelerate the pace of the arms race, he emphasized. Posted by: badanov 2024-06-03 |
