Here's why 45,000 Russian troops are on high alert

-
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered 45,000 troops to a snap air drill involving 150 aircraft and 200 anti-aircraft units, state news agency Itar-Tass reported.


Putin ordered the drill on Tuesday, though Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin only confirmed numbers and details on Wednesday.
As part of the exercise, anti-aircraft missile regiment units, armed with S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, practiced spotting and destroying unidentified objects flying at low and extremely low altitudes in the south of Moscow.Snap drills have become a more common occurrence in Russia since relations with the West deteriorated over the conflict in Ukraine.The drill will only last until Thursday, according to news agency Interfax.
London-based think tank the European Leadership Network has warned that unannounced military exercises, coupled with both Russia and NATO’s reinforcement in close proximity to one another, could lead to accidental conflict.
NATO did not respond to Newsweek’s request for comment on whether they were given notice about the Russian drill.

If your customers are not happy, you as the company can never be happy. I just wish they can practically do better....

Nigeria is a very dynamic country. We can never cease to have one hot news/gist or the other. After Evan’s(the kidnapper) arrest, the next big thing is the imminent launch of TSTV Africa Nigeria Limited. This is the word on every lip. The writing of most news and entertainment bloggers. I cannot wait to see how this unfold. I learnt it will make use  hybrid broadcast broadband TV(HBB).  Hbb is an improvement on Internet protocol television(IPTV). It combines satellite, terrestrial and internet to provide end consumers with television services. Only a fool will not want the progress of his country. If this happens, satellite tv will be cheaper in Africa starting with Nigeria. They intend to offer “direct to home” satellite television service. Do not underestimate the power of the consumers. Am looking at the buzz surrounding TSTV Africa from a different perspective entirely. That of a “wake-up call” on all existing payTV companies in Nigeria out of which D*T...
