What we suspected. There's just no feasible way the Russians can avoid releasing radiation in their tests. I'm sure they can get this thing working but honestly, this is a weapon that should not be made. It'll poison the world before they ever get a chance to use it. There are so many alternative means of delivering nuclear warheads that are cheaper, safer, and almost as effective. Don't know what these guys are thinking.

It's Russia's way of saying "mess with us and there will destruction on a scale never witnessed before in history. This is more than an equalizer, it's a step ahead of it.

again now, as I recalled they had said the vendor promised a new version for the Arctic to be ready ... but I didn't remember 'when to be ready' (LOL they indeed said that (promised to be ready "already this year"), but only in the end of that vid)
so? so I expect the machine to be as rugged as ... Russian machine

RUSSIA: QATAR INTERESTED IN THE SUKHOI SU-35....
Speaking to reporters (through ), the Russian Presidential Aide for Cooperation on Defence Technologies Vladimir Kozhin, Qatar is interested in the Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E, stating that “talks are in progress” between Moscow and Doha.
Kozhin did not offer additional details, but the news follows earlier reports – based on statements from Qatar’s Ambassador to Russia Fahad bin Mohammed al-Attiyah – of Doha also being long-range air defence system produced by Almaz-Antey.
In October 2017, Qatar and Russia a memorandum-of-understanding (MoU) to enhance bilateral military and technical cooperation. The MoU was meant to begin facilitating the sale of Russian weapons to Qatar, though specific details were not provided at the time.
Qatar has drawn attention through its ambitious combat aircraft procurement program, which not only involves qualitative and quantitative improvements to its current fleet of 12 Dassault Mirage 2000-5s, but does so using different, but comparable, platforms from three different suppliers.
The Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) is now expecting the delivery of , and fighters along with nine trainers.
From a technical standpoint, it is unclear why Qatar sought different platforms – each with its own logistics and maintenance channel, and that too from different countries.
One suggestion is that Qatar is using big-ticket arms purchases to curry favour with major countries, especially the US, UK, Western Europe and – if the Su-35 and S-400 reports are correct – Russia. However, this does not explain the insistence on different fighters, Qatar could focus on other big-ticket programs (e.g. naval combatants) and for comparable foreign relations objectives.
However, it should be noted that apparent Russian talks with the over the Su-35 in 2017 have yet to materialize. One can speculate that interest in Russian hardware from the likes of Qatar could be a mask for other objectives in relation to the US and Western Europe (e.g. inducing pressure for the release of restricted hardware, such as the F-35 Lightning II).United Aircraft C
