Mattresses sniff out for a reason, again the bastards are preparing some kind of dirty trick, for which they are great masters.

[Finches]

NATO aerial reconnaissance activity, read the USA, has increased significantly! Along the Crimea, the P-8 "Poseidon" of the US Navy is flying constantly, and without the included transponders ... You involuntarily remember Rovel's reconnaissance squadron and its movement over the western regions of the USSR before the Second World War! By the way, then we managed to get on one airplane and interview the pilots, so to speak, with journalists from the NKVD ... A good option, by the way ...!

Well, why didn't they even intercept him? It was necessary to fly around it "not professionally" a couple of times.

[cniza]

It would be strange if it weren’t sniffed out, but everything is in order, we also work them out.

[OLD FART]

They are cooking obviously .... I think ours are there too, they are not sitting idly by and everything is ready to receive "Kuzi" with his retinue and all sorts of surprises!

[79807420129]

Actually, we always did this, and very well.

After 1991, when an Iraqi MiG shot down one of the American Hornites over the Persian Gulf, the F / A-18 had no military contact with Russian-built fighters. However, in November 2000, there was still a meeting of American carrier-based aircraft with fighters of the Russian Air Force, which was “as close as possible to a combat aircraft. on board the aircraft carrier “Kitty Hawk, in addition to the will of the author of the message, became public))“ ... The sailing was quite easy and interesting: 54 days at sea, 4 - at the port and 45 hours of flight in October alone! (for comparison, many pilots of the Russian Air Force have an annual flight time of about 45-60 hours with the required 200-250) Yeah, we flew our asses! Since I became one of the squadron commanders, I have been flying a lot. Here is an interesting story (and this is not bullshit).
So, I’m sitting there and chatting about all kinds of garbage with my deputy, and we hear a bell ringing from the BIC (combat information center - the “brain” of the ship) .- They say: “Sir, we spotted Russian planes.” The captain replies: "Announce the alarm, raise the fighters." They say from the center: only “Alarm-30” can be announced (departure in 30 minutes (!) From the moment of announcement). The captain swore and said: "Take into the air all that is possible, as quickly as possible!". I ran to the navigator's telephone and contacted the squadron duty officer. Our squadron was not on duty that day, so I told him to find out who was on duty and make them raise their asses and rush to the flight deck (only Alarm-7 assumes that you are already on the take-off deck and ready to go up into the air: "Alarm-30" means that you are still sitting in the waiting room).
Soon, the Russian Su-27 and Su-24 at a speed of 500 knots passed directly over the Kitty Hawk bridge. Just like in the movie "Top Gun"! The officers on the bridge spilled their coffee and said ...! (An obscene expression, which has a very emotional Russian analogue.) At that moment I looked at the captain - his face was crimson. Russian fighters made two more steep turns at low altitude before we finally launched our first plane from the deck. It was ... EA-6V "Prauler" (electronic warfare aircraft). Yes, yes, we launched the unfortunate "Prawler" one on one against the fighter right above the ship. Our pilots already asked for help when finally the F / A-18 from the "sister" squadron (I use this term literally, because they looked like a company of "women of easy virtue" (the phrase in quotation marks is replaced by a more decent administration note), flirting with the Russians) took off in the air to perform an interception. But it was too late. The whole team lifted their heads and watched the Russians make a mockery of our wretched attempt to stop them. The funny thing is that the admiral and the commander of the aircraft carrier were in the command room at the morning meeting, which was interrupted by the rumble of turbines of Russian aircraft circling above the aircraft carrier’s cabin. An officer in the commander’s headquarters told me that they looked at each other, at the flight plan, made sure that the launch was planned for that day only a few hours later, and asked: “What was that?” Four days later, the Russian intelligence service sent an email to the commander Kitty Hawk photographs of our pilots rushing about on the deck, desperately trying to fly planes into the air ... ” Su-17MR reconnaissance aircraft and the Su-2000 fighter-interceptor unit from the 24th Air Force and Air Defense Army covering them. According to the then Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force Anatoly Karnukov, "it was a planned reconnaissance, during which, however, unusual tasks were solved." Moreover, no international agreements were violated by the Russian side ..

That's why they fly, to detect the purity of our electronic warfare. Electronic warfare equipment was not created to "light up" in front of every scout, they are needed in a specific combat situation.

But I’m wondering what kind of mobile phones our military has in Syria, if on an android, then there’s nothing to sniff out. You can easily monitor from the USA by phone

[Shadow of darkness]

And what if on Windows. does that change anything? In fact, they can listen to any telephone conversations that are ongoing in Siri by keywords or phrases and put them on record. An exception can only be satellite special communications, it is necessary to break them specifically.

Yes, I think, they can also shoot images from the cameras of phones

[Shadow of darkness]

Only if the phone is synchronized with the server, and so ... what will you get a bunch of photos from all phones? In addition, they need to be analyzed, and several million of them can be washed daily, only in Syria. In addition, you need an Internet connection with a good speed, and this pleasure is not cheap. I don’t think that you will not notice the phone bill during serious work of the cellular Internet, and even abroad. No, they will not work "by area". Rather, they will work for "flashed" numbers, for which there is a suspicion of the importance of their owner.

A no-fly zone for an adversary cannot be established over Syria? Why were the air defense systems dragged through thousands of kilometers? After all, American "partners" can drop a bomb on our military, and then say that by accident. Crazy "democrats" are Americans. And there is nothing good to expect from them.

Routine work. Ours also fly around US warships in various waters, and especially adjacent to hot spots. That's why military intelligence, in order to, among other things, conduct vowel aerial reconnaissance.

Absolutely right. I am still surprised that no one offered to bring him down. Such offer posts are common when US or NATO reconnaissance aircraft appear.

Always, at all times, any large body movements of a potential enemy were strenuously monitored by intelligence. This is your "preparing for something" I saw during my service in ODRAP KSF for 23 years. This is the usual work of intelligence and it is not necessary to draw conclusions from this about the beginning of the third world war.

Yes Easy. That's just for us, too, then they will block the sky of Iraq, which is not in our interests, or somewhere else, the game is very delicate and you need to calculate everything to the maximum.

I hope that our electronic warfare systems are also on the alert.

Yes, nothing to prepare for. 70 years since the end of the war, they, and then we did it, and nothing. So it’s hard to understand that this is a routine and is not at all a sign that someone is preparing for something?
Our scouts over the Baltic Sea do the same.

[masiya]

But so whether to try?

[Joker787]

I am surprised at our command, fly means the adversaries near our home base with a birch grove (brought in special board) and do nothing! It was necessary to gasp on a flying mattress with the product 15P014.

Oolite Joker787 with calls from kindergarten. What looks like Yulia Tymoshenko ("Shoot everyone with nuclear weapons") Think with your head, on what basis should you "zhahnut"? And who only allows younger students to comment on VO? They would play better at World of Warcraft.

[Joker787]

I think that in Russia, even in kindergarten, children will not begin to shoot down an aircraft with a strategic missile. It was necessary at the end to add some kind of emoticon to make it clearer.

Well, they are not the same, forgive the frostbitten ones, like you. They perfectly understand that the Poseidon is in its own right, it flies in neutral waters. And we, in the same way, fly near "their home base". So, now you propose to "zhahnut" our intelligence officers?

There are ten such "jokes" in each post. And for some reason they don't get any funnier, they are already sick of them. The site is so hard to read that it has already become difficult to read because of this nonsense!

Of course, it "remained behind the scenes" that the Russian electronic warfare means "fed" the invading "well-wishers" (partners) to the dump.
