Russia's General Staff is preparing the country for a space war

9 628 41
The Russian Federation should be ready for warfare in the information and aerospace fields, said Army General Makarov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

"At present, the center of military operations from the sea and land - traditional theaters of war - has shifted to the information and aerospace fields. The concepts of the network-centric war have gone far ahead. We estimate how well and efficiently these issues are solved by leading Western countries," said Makarov during the general meeting of the Academy of Military Sciences, held in Moscow.

The Chief of the General Staff noted that asymmetrical actions are now widely used, the initial period of the war began to play a decisive role in its course and outcome, reports RIA "News". The period of hostilities in general has become very limited in time, and also very tough.

“Thanks to the introduction of high technologies against the background of a reduction in the number of armed forces, the effectiveness of actions is significantly increased. The use of new methods and forms of military operations makes it possible to solve tasks that were previously solved only by increasing personnel,” concluded Makarov.

The general meeting was attended by Dmitry Rogozin, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia; Army General Nikolai Makarov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces; Lieutenant-General Peter Tikhonovsky, his Belarusian counterpart; Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia.

      In general, the topic is topical, here or it is necessary to take a "long-range" missile on the S-400 in order to beat the aggressor in airless space, or how to have a "truck" with bombs in orbit in the USSR (May 1946 report "Preliminary design of an experimental orbital spacecraft") and sleep well

      In addition, there are currently almost fifty nuclear satellites flying in near-earth orbit. Of these, 36 were launched by the USSR, 13 by the USA. But there is a significant difference between Soviet and American satellites. The fact is that the USSR used uranium-235 as fuel for satellites, and the USA used plutonium-238, which is also a threat, and a big one.

        One must be able to destroy enemy satellites in all possible orbits. This (space component), in my opinion, is the most vulnerable in the entire US / NATO system.

        Something like that.

        Over the past two years, the attention of military experts around the world has been riveted to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which are in a state of large-scale reform and transition to a new look
        In Margaret Klein's work, the success of the Russian army in implementing the “network-centric” concept is evaluated in relation to the results of the 08.08.08 war with the Georgian aggressors. According to her, the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation has already realized the need for reforming the Armed Forces, equipping them with modern technical means of reconnaissance, high-precision weapons, communication and data transfer systems, and uniting all participants in the operation (combat operations) into a single information space. However, the movement in this direction has just begun.
        The war showed that the Russian army lacked long-range radar detection and control systems (AWACS and U), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and reconnaissance equipment such as the American joint radar reconnaissance system J-STARS. As the author emphasizes, the Russian Armed Forces had at their disposal either technically and morally outdated systems or difficult to redirect funds without the ability to quickly transmit collected intelligence information. This, according to Margaret Klein, was the reason for the untimely opening of the Georgian air defense system, and as a result - the loss of seven combat aircraft in such a short war. Significant problems existed with communication and data transmission systems, which led to the inability to effectively manage subordinate units.
        In the means of destruction, according to the German analyst, Russia has achieved great success. It had Iskander operational tactical missile systems, KAB-500 adjustable bombs and X-555 and X-101 cruise missiles. Nevertheless, all this weaponry was hardly used in that war, because it was in single copies, Margaret Klein notes. Another problem was the lack of carriers capable of using such weapons.
        “Network-centrism”, which is currently a real tool for increasing combat capabilities, however, cannot be considered as a panacea for solving all problems. After all, if a standard ammunition unit of an armed tank makes up a 63 shot, then even if it is equipped with super-modern communication and control systems, it will never be able to hit targets with this 64 kit. So the truth lies somewhere in the middle. That is why without an integrated approach to solving the problem, including changing the outlook of the military leadership on the management of subordinate formations; creation of unified ACS; the development of modern technical means of intelligence, which will fill the network; the adoption of a sufficient number of high-precision weapons, which really need such information, all initiatives will turn into a waste of money.
        Thus, in order to create opportunities, and the very prerequisites for the implementation of the "network-centric" concept in the Russian army, it is necessary to solve a complex task both within the Armed Forces and the country as a whole. This is a search for new technological solutions, the transfer of the defense-industrial complex to an innovative development path, clarification of charters and manuals, the development of new forms and methods of using groups of forces, and training of personnel to work with modern hardware and software.
        In this regard, it is advisable to intensify work on the creation of truly united control bodies, the development of modern algorithms for their work in solving various combat missions, the formation of a list of means that we plan to link into a network, understanding why and, most importantly, why it is needed. It is necessary to actively implement information technologies in the daily activities of the Armed Forces. But first you should conduct an audit of all deployed and planned to deploy computer networks.
        Otherwise, we will spend a lot of money on the fashionable trend and, in the end, we will step on the American rake, when “unexpectedly” the unsolvable problem of uniting these separate, independent networks and nets will arise. Also, it is compulsory to introduce an electronic document management system so that commanders, and indeed all personnel, receive the necessary knowledge and experience in working with modern information systems. Their actions should be worked out to automatism, as with a TV, cell phone, computer. Only in this case, information systems and tools will turn from unknown expensive equipment into a real helper in solving combat missions.

      This is true, but Makarov, on the slope of days, reached such wisdom -
      the initial period of the war began to have decisive importance on its course and outcome,

    Network-centric warfare concepts have gone far ahead.
    And who is to blame!
    The initial approaches to creating a complete network war contain the ideas of the Soviet general Nikolai Ogarkov, which he set forth at the beginning of the 1980's. The United States Army was the first to develop and implement this concept. - Wikipedia.

    So, the Chief of the General Staff should not speak complicated phrases, but work in this direction!

    Humanity has developed to the planning of wars in space. Sadly, for technological civilization this is natural. The only consolation is that it open war of "minds". But after watching the video about NATO recruits from Russia (about ebaNATO$), I can't find any peace. The enemies find scoundrels and freaks among our population, they are waging a vile hypocritical war against us even now, their fighters openly run to the American embassy for instructions.
    People, don't be fooled! The man under the striped flag doesn't give money to "democrats" out of charity (he doesn't care that there is not a hint of democracy in the countries that are subservient to him). He intends to get back everything he spent and with a big profit; there will be no place for "natives" at his table.

    Hello. The information war has been going on since ancient times. For example: yesterday’s tea is like poison, although I personally like yesterday’s tea much more. Simply, in my opinion, only the advancing side wins in this type of war (the defender remains either to remain silent or to make excuses), and so on according to the knurled algorithm. And if you interrupt it? Who says we lost this war? You can lose the battle (the views of a certain generation), but in this war of mine there is no end and end.

    The topic of space war is very relevant now.
    In the event of a war, first of all, it is necessary to shoot down the grouping of satellites providing guidance by GPS, which will greatly reduce the potential of Tomogavks and UAVs and other nonsense.
    Next are reconnaissance and communications satellites. The Americans keep bragging that all their troop and weapon control is tied to space. So we need to deprive them of this trump card. And only then actions on land and at sea. We have not yet forgotten how to fight without space, but the Americans, in my opinion, have already forgotten how to do it. Whether you like Makarov or not, he spoke correctly. We urgently need to prepare for such a war.

    Libya, Iran is the periphery of the Reich, and when attacking the Reich itself (its base), protection from strikes from outer space, where they dominate, will be needed, and the kerosene guns of the SU family are no better than the cavalry in front of the tank.
    During the Khazar Kaganate, the Russians (until it was defeated) were forced to pay not only with money (an analogue of the stabilization fund in foreign currency), but also with swords — the supply of troops of soldiers who fought for the Khazar and, in the event of a retreat, were destroyed like a penal battalion (an analogue of the supplies of Russian Federation equipment and people to Libya PNS). Now (before the Flood) they plan to use unnecessary tributaries against the Reich (they don’t care), the Germans will answer, well, for some self-defense - the plans of the Makarov preparation ...

    It seems to me that Makarov is starting to develop his activity, clearly anticipating the resignation. In the words of Stirlitz, the initial phrase and the last are remembered. For him it is similar to the last. He has a lot of questions. And among them - where have you been before? Was Al actively involved in the rout of our defense capabilities? Smells the pussy whose fat has eaten. It's time to resign.

    I recently read a fantastic action movie about the war of 201 .. year. There, Nato begins hostilities and captures the Kaliningrad region. But that's not the point. There is one interesting thought. We put into orbit three satellites that operated in the GPRS range, but with a slight distortion. Those. target designations were distorted. What is not an option? Yes, I think our scientists are still not in vain eating bread and will figure out how to answer us - cheaply and angrily.

    Makarov, agreed to head the General Staff, after Baluevsky left, who tried to keep the personnel of the Armed Forces, did not allow the privatization of military facilities and was an opponent of Serdyukov. Makarov agrees with Serdyukov, though the popularity among the officers is that the minister has now the chief of the General Staff at the same level below the baseboard.

    I have an idea: we need to bring our satellite with explosives and with many fragments to the orbits of American satellites and blow it up at X-hour in order to make a huge wall of metal balls, and that's all, after a while nothing will remain in orbit.
    Or do we have one? Enlighten if so.
