[00:00:00] destroyed by Soviet partisans in Belarus,
[00:00:04] the heroes of that war, it was them,
[00:00:07] the partisans, and the German Nazis,
[00:00:11] even the champions of the Olympics, received
[00:00:15] what they deserved, not gold,
[00:00:17] but lead, and no matter how many fakes
[00:00:21] the dogs of the Kyiv regime stamp out,
[00:00:24] they will not be able to turn Soviet partisans into bandits, and
[00:00:28] real bandits into
[00:00:31] heroes. We
[00:00:33] will not allow
[00:00:36] it. This was the Hidden Threat program, and I, Nikolay Chendyaykin, will see you in
[00:00:40] a week.
[00:00:48] Watch right now, NATO continues to deploy its
[00:00:52] forces, now to the borders of
[00:00:54] Moldova.
[00:00:58] What is behind this? Is it really a new
[00:01:00] conflict,
[00:01:04] and how will Russia respond?
[00:01:08] Combat alert, missile
[00:01:09] attack,
[00:01:14] dangerous games. Why is Germany rushing into the Russian
[00:01:18] Arctic?
[00:01:24] Why did Germany need a flying
[00:01:26] Poseidon?
[00:01:33] Another rewriting of history after Kyiv,
[00:01:37] Stockholm declares that the Battle of Neva
[00:01:40] did not happen.
[00:01:46] Why did the Swedish chroniclers keep silent about it, and how did Alexander
[00:01:49] Nevsky leave his mark on the face of the Swedish ruler?
[00:01:53] This
[00:01:57] and much more in the Hidden Threats program with Nikolay Chendyaykin.
[00:02:13] Units of the armed forces of NATO countries are grouping near
[00:02:16] the borders of Moldova in Romania and Ukraine. In
[00:02:19] particular, professional military personnel from France and Great Britain have arrived in
[00:02:23] Odessa.
[00:02:26] This was reported by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia. The pretext
[00:03:04] could be any provocation. According to the SVR, it could be staged
[00:03:08] on November 30, when deputies of the Supreme
[00:03:11] Council will be elected in Transnistria.
[00:03:14] The Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic is
[00:03:17] an unrecognized state on the left bank of
[00:03:20] the Dniester, which seceded from Moldova in the 1990s.
[00:03:24] After the collapse of the USSR, national
[00:03:27] contradictions intensified in the country. The Russian-speaking
[00:03:31] population of Transnistria and the rest of
[00:03:35] Moldova saw the country's future
[00:03:37] differently. These disagreements led to
[00:03:41] an armed conflict. Military operations in Transnistria
[00:03:45] took place in 1992 and ended after
[00:03:49] Russian peacekeepers were
[00:03:52] introduced into the region. 1992,
[00:03:56] tanks in city streets, destroyed houses, hundreds
[00:04:00] of dead and thousands
[00:04:01] of wounded.
[00:04:06] This conflict has not been resolved yet, only frozen.
[00:04:10] Today, as more than 30 years ago, Transnistrians see their
[00:04:14] future in alliance with
[00:04:15] Russia.
[00:04:18] Moldova, however, has set a course for European integration and
[00:04:21] does not recognize the independence of the Pridnestrovian Republic. After
[00:04:25] President Maia Sandu's party won the parliamentary
[00:04:29] elections in...
[00:04:38] as Kyiv has already done with
[00:04:40] Donbas.
[00:04:48] In fact, on the heads of our citizens, in
[00:04:52] Transnistria, the majority have Russian citizenship,
[00:04:55] a huge amount of weapons,
[00:04:58] missiles,
[00:05:00] directly from NATO countries, which
[00:05:03] was unthinkable some time ago, can
[00:05:06] now become true. Moldova is following a path that
[00:05:10] is very similar to the path of Ukraine. Following Kyiv,
[00:05:13] Chisinau declared war on the Russian language. Back in
[00:05:16] 2014, an education code was adopted, which
[00:05:20] excluded Russian from the list of compulsory
[00:05:23] subjects. Now it is as foreign as, for example,
[00:05:27] English. Russian is gradually being moved even from
[00:05:31] a secondary position. You can't write
[00:05:35] or speak it at the state level, on
[00:05:38] TV channels, on radio, in particular, conduct
[00:05:41] official. All that's left is to ban Pushkin and
[00:05:45] Chekhov.
[00:05:50] Gaidai has already been banned. Just before the parliamentary elections,
[00:05:54] the broadcast of the film Ivan Vasilyevich Changes
[00:05:57] His Profession was unexpectedly stopped. Instead of the film, viewers saw
[00:05:59] the inscription: Dear
[00:06:03] subscribers, the retransmission of the channel has been suspended for the duration of
[00:06:07] the program containing content prohibited by paragraph A, part 4 of article
[00:06:11] of the code. The provisions of
[00:06:14] this article state that Moldovan channels can broadcast content
[00:06:18] produced outside the EU, but only entertainment, not
[00:06:22] containing militaristic content. In the film Ivan
[00:06:25] Vasilyevich Changes His Profession, musketeers appear,
[00:06:29] and this is prohibited by
[00:06:31] law.
[00:06:35] Chisinau's Russophobic policy is evident, as stated directly by
[00:06:38] former Prime Minister Darin Recean, who held his post.
[00:07:12] The Moldovan authorities have closed 13 TV channels and dozens of
[00:07:16] websites. These media represented a point of view inconvenient
[00:07:19] for the ruling authorities on political events in the country
[00:07:23] and the world. They want to create a situation of
[00:07:26] complete informational isolation
[00:07:29] of Moldova, so that there is no alternative information at all,
[00:07:33] and then it will be easy to form the image
[00:07:36] of Russia as an aggressor country, as a country
[00:07:39] that wants to invade or seize.
[00:09:12] To close undesirable media, remove opposition politicians,
[00:09:16] send them to jail. This is a typical scenario
[00:09:19] being implemented in Moldova.
[00:09:22] In fact, everything is going approximately according to similar scenarios
[00:09:26] that, it seems to me, are written by
[00:09:28] the authors of color revolutions. Until now,
[00:09:32] Chisinau has avoided a forceful solution to the Transnistrian
[00:09:34] problem, particularly because the Moldovan army is one of
[00:09:38] the weakest in the world, and a Russian force is stationed in the rebellious region.
[00:10:12] reported that units of Romanian troops, deployed
[00:10:15] near the border with Moldova, have been put on high
[00:10:19] alert. The eighth operational-tactical
[00:10:22] missile brigade deployed in
[00:10:25] Focșani received special deployment. Servicemen
[00:10:28] of this formation participated in numerous international
[00:10:32] missions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kosovo. And in
[00:10:35] 2021, the brigade's armament included
[00:10:39] multiple launch rocket systems HIMARS.
[00:10:41] In addition, according to the Polish press,
[00:10:46] the tenth Lower Danube engineering brigade in
[00:10:50] Brăila is on high alert. Its soldiers
[00:10:53] also have experience participating in various
[00:10:57] operations, however, with such an opponent as
[00:11:00] Russia, they are unlikely to want to deal. Military
[00:11:04] facilities on the Black Sea coast, including Romanian ones, are within
[00:11:07] the control zone of the Black Sea Fleet's ships. They are
[00:11:10] equipped with high-precision Kalibr and Oniks
[00:11:14] cruise missiles. This is a key element of the deterrence
[00:11:17] system in the region.
[00:11:19] Combat alert, missile
[00:11:21] attack.
[00:11:26] The most important thing that the Russian Federation is doing right now is demonstrating
[00:11:30] the presence of high-precision, high-precision non-nuclear weapons, those that
[00:11:34] are capable of reaching the territory of their
[00:11:37] closest and not-so-closest neighbors. Even in the most
[00:11:41] intricate case, there will always be a clue that will become
[00:11:44] the key to the solution. There are too many inconsistencies in this case.
[00:11:48] An underwater operation, how a Soviet submarine managed to obtain
[00:11:51] top-secret American hydroacoustic equipment. Our
[00:11:55] submarines crept up, astonishing
[00:11:59] American admirals. Drones and dragons. Where did
[00:12:02] the AFU get quadcopters, flamethrowers, blinding white flames,
[00:12:06] sometimes accompanied by a small amount of white smoke? The
[00:12:09] Starlink case, whose developments formed the basis of Elon
[00:12:13] Musk's technology. He was impressed by the level of technology developed in the Soviet
[00:12:17] Union. With the help of modern forensic methods, we will
[00:12:20] uncover the secrets of the most resonant events in
[00:12:23] world history.

[00:17:04] profitable.
[00:17:14] In Moldova's new national security strategy,
[00:17:17] it is Russia that is declared
[00:17:20] the main threat, absurd, but nevertheless,
[00:17:23] under the pretext of far-fetched risks,
[00:17:27] European politicians are deliberately
[00:17:30] dragging this country into the orbit of a large-scale
[00:17:33] confrontation. How will all this end?
[00:17:49] And why did Germany need a flying Poseidon?
[00:17:52] Another rewriting of
[00:17:55] history after Kyiv, Stockholm claims that the Battle of
[00:17:59] Neva did not
[00:18:01] exist.
[00:18:07] But why did Swedish chroniclers keep silent about it, and how did
[00:18:11] Alexander Nevsky leave his mark on the face of the Swedish
[00:18:15] ruler?
[00:18:20] This and much more in the Hidden Threats program with Nikolay
[00:18:23] Chendyaykin.
[00:18:26] This group photo was taken at the Boeing corporation plant in Budget
[00:18:30] Sound, Washington state. The company is not only one of
[00:18:33] the largest manufacturers of aviation, space, but
[00:18:37] also military equipment in the world. Here, the transfer
[00:18:40] of the P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine patrol
[00:18:43] aircraft to a delegation from the German Ministry of Defense took place. The
[00:18:47] P-8A aircraft is designed to solve various kinds of
[00:18:51] tasks, primarily patrolling over
[00:18:54] territories and water areas. This is
[00:18:57] conducting various kinds of reconnaissance,
[00:18:59] optoelectronic,
[00:19:02] radio-technical and other types. This is
[00:19:05] detection,
[00:19:47] Pay attention, on this satellite image
[00:19:50] one of the Orions is visible at the airfield
[00:19:53] in Nordholz. It is not difficult to notice that the other
[00:19:57] pads are empty, and
[00:20:00] Poseidons will soon appear
[00:20:03] on them. It is known that the Poseidon was adopted by the US
[00:20:06] Navy in 2013, and
[00:20:10] it was built on the basis of a production passenger airliner.
[00:20:13] The tactical and technical characteristics of the aircraft are roughly
[00:20:17] similar to the technical characteristics
[00:20:21] of the Boeing 737 aircraft. This is
[00:20:23] primarily a cruising speed of about 800
[00:20:26] km/h, a flight
[00:20:30] range of about 4,500
[00:20:32] km, a combat radius of 3,500
[00:20:35] km. At the request of the military, the aircraft was, of course,
[00:20:38] modernized, the portholes were removed, the shape
[00:20:41] of the wing was changed to increase flight stability at low
[00:20:44] altitudes.
[00:20:48] It should be noted that the aircraft, along with this, is equipped with an in-flight
[00:20:52] refueling system, which significantly
[00:20:55] increases the patrol
[00:20:58] time. It is precisely such aircraft that Germany
[00:21:01] ordered from the USA. Berlin plans to receive all eight new anti-submarine
[00:21:05] aircraft in early 2026.
[00:21:09] On the American side, the project is overseen by Boeing
[00:21:12] Vice President Victoria Petterson. Here's how she characterized the Poseidon
[00:21:16] in an interview with the Hardp publication.
[00:21:19] The P8a is a proven, versatile
[00:21:22] aircraft that will allow the German Navy and its NATO
[00:21:25] allies to effectively detect and neutralize threats above
[00:21:29] and below the water's surface. What
[00:21:32] threats are we talking about, clarified German Federal Chancellor
[00:21:35] Friedrich Merz, who recently inspected the German Navy
[00:21:39] and met with the Navy leadership on board the frigate
[00:21:42] Bavaria. Here's how the German publication
[00:21:45] quotes his words.
[00:21:48] The threat from Russia at...
[00:21:50] possible for the interests of the North Atlantic Alliance. In this context,
[00:21:54] sea is real, our geostrategic position is central in
[00:21:57] Europe. In the coming months, we will do everything
[00:22:02] Merz actually declares Germany the core
[00:22:06] of the confrontation with Russia in the Baltic. And
[00:22:09] Germany is trying to take the leading role
[00:22:12] in countering Russia in the Baltic, well,
[00:22:16] actually, the leading role in advancing aggressive
[00:22:23] NATO interests. Analysts assess Merz's statement as a threat.
[00:22:26] Germany, together with its allies, plans to take control
[00:22:29] of the Baltic Sea to increase military and
[00:22:32] economic pressure on Russia, to paralyze the operation
[00:22:36] of ports in Kaliningrad and Leningrad
[00:22:38] regions. It should be taken into account that 60%
[00:22:42] of our sea trade passes through
[00:22:44] the Baltic.
[00:22:46] And the West's ability to control the Baltic.
[00:23:02] based on the geography, 90% of the Baltic Sea coast
[00:23:06] belongs to NATO countries, this already speaks for
[00:23:09] itself.
[00:23:11] To implement its plans,
[00:23:13] Germany is actively developing the infrastructure
[00:23:17] of the naval forces. Over
[00:23:20] 470 million
[00:23:22] euros were allocated to modernize military ports
[00:23:26] and air bases, including the airfield in
[00:23:28] Nordholz. In October
[00:23:31] 2024, a naval tactical headquarters
[00:23:35] of the North Atlantic Alliance was opened in
[00:23:38] Rostock, on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. It is
[00:23:41] designed to coordinate the combat
[00:23:44] operations of NATO allies
[00:23:48] in the Baltic Sea area.
[00:23:51] It was from here in June 2025 that
[00:23:55] the naval exercises NATOBALTOPS were conducted, in
[00:23:58] which more than 50 ships of various
[00:24:01] classes from seventeen member states of the North Atlantic
[00:24:05] Alliance were involved. And military activity, according
[00:24:08] to experts, is constantly increasing
[00:24:10] in the Baltic region.
[00:24:15] Recently, various events have been held in Germany,
[00:24:18] including exercises, management of exercises
[00:24:22] in the European and
[00:24:24] Baltic regions, in order to carry out tasks
[00:24:28] to significantly increase the potential of
[00:24:31] the NATO alliance, and, of course, to increase its
[00:24:35] financing. Germany sees its main task
[00:24:38] in the alliance's structure as combating
[00:24:42] Russian submarines. Now it becomes
[00:24:45] clear why Germany needed a large
[00:24:49] number of Poseidons. In Boeing corporation documentation, by the way,
[00:24:52] it is classified as a multi-functional
[00:24:55] maritime aircraft designed to
[00:24:58] detect and destroy submarines.
[00:25:01] To
[00:25:05] accomplish this task, the aircraft is capable of carrying,
[00:25:08] attention, 9 tons of various types of
[00:25:11] weapons. In particular,
[00:25:13] this is the ability to use
[00:25:17] Harpoon missiles with a
[00:25:20] range of up to 300 km, as well as
[00:25:24] depth charges, plus the deployment of
[00:25:27] various electromagnetic buoys, as well as being armed
[00:25:30] with light MK-54 torpedoes.
[00:25:33] An interesting detail, the Poseidon was developed primarily
[00:25:36] to counter Russian nuclear missile
[00:25:40] carriers of projects
[00:25:41] 955-95A
[00:25:44] Borey, Borey A strategic purpose and
[00:25:48] project 880.
[00:26:15] It turns out that NATO strategists made a mistake in planning
[00:26:18] the exercises.
[00:26:24] Or are they pursuing more global goals that imply not
[00:26:27] only control of the Baltic region? The meaning
[00:26:30] of military maneuvers - including under the leadership of Germany
[00:26:34] in the region, in the Baltic region, is to
[00:26:37] replicate similar experience on
[00:26:41] various other regions, here we mean
[00:26:45] primarily the Arctic zone, this is
[00:26:47] to ensure the actions of the alliance's forces,
[00:26:50] as well as to counteract
[00:26:54] Russian surface and submarine
[00:26:58] ships, including within the framework of
[00:27:01] the Northern Sea Route. Let me remind you, the Northern
[00:27:04] Sea Route runs from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok through
[00:27:08] the seas of the Arctic Ocean, the Kara Sea, the Laptev Sea,
[00:27:11] the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea and partly
[00:27:14] the Pacific Ocean, the Bering Sea. The length of the route is over
[00:27:18] 14,000 km. The Northern Sea
[00:27:22] Route is the shortest
[00:27:25] sea route from the European part of Russia
[00:27:28] to the Far East.
[00:27:31] Moreover, in the future, the Northern Sea
[00:27:35] Route could be a competitor to the Suez
[00:27:39] Canal. In any case, for the northern
[00:27:43] European ports,
[00:27:46] well, let's say, for Hamburg,
[00:27:49] this route is 5 thousand kilometers shorter
[00:27:52] than the Northern Sea Route,
