Is the modern "restless economy of the elder Semibaba" on the way?
Many people remember the old Soviet film "Restless Farming". The first directorial work of the great Michael Zharov. Merry lyrical comedy about the life of a false airfield during the Great Patriotic. The object, the main task of which is to divert the enemy's aircraft from the present airfield. If we consider the movie from the point of view of the military, then we get a great educational film for the same units. Shown almost everything. From the methods of organizing a false object to fight the enemy's scouts.
And with what humor is told about the Red Army soldier Ogurtsov! The stupid soldier who invented a system of mobile aircraft. And it was this system that allowed the chief of the facility, the foreman Semibab, not to risk the fighters to attract the attention of the enemy aviation. When the aircraft began to "take off", there was no need to create an imitation of panic. His fighters sat in the trenches and controlled mock-ups.
Modern warfare, not the past, but the one that is possible, will also abound in such episodes. No one is surprised at inflatable rocket launchers. No one is surprised by the inflatable tanks and other armored vehicles. False objects today are a necessary reality of war. An increase in the power of weapons, accuracy in delivering strikes, the presence of special shells, bombs, and missiles leaves little chance of survival. Alas, there is no such armor that modern specialized ammunition could not penetrate.
The most powerful and dangerous weapons today are missiles. Rockets of any type. It is a missile strike that is most effective in terms of the destruction of manpower and enemy targets. This is due to the high accuracy of the rocket weapons and a huge striking force. But besides this, rocket weapons make it possible to solve assigned tasks without direct contact with the enemy. What, you see, is really important today. The value of each fighter has increased many times due to the need for quite a long preparation. Modern weapons require a trained soldier.
For quite a long time we considered rockets as a very expensive weapon. At the same time, they somehow completely forgotten that modern air defense and missile defense systems are not cheap either. Some of these systems are quite comparable in cost with attack systems. Today, anyone, even a person far from missile weapons, will tell about the false warheads with which attacking missiles are equipped.
This is quite an effective system. But ... Like any system, it has its drawbacks. And the main drawback is the need for a real launch of rockets. And not one or two, but a series. The capabilities of modern missile defense are quite large. This means that these false objects are very far from the "object" of foreman Semibaba. By the way, this also applies to the use of aviation.
Engineers and designers from the Radio Electronic Technologies concern understood this perfectly. Let me remind you that the concern created in 2009 has already "presented" us the "Lever-AV" complex, the Khibiny family of electronic warfare systems (for SU aircraft), the Krasukha and Moscow land complexes, the multifunctional complexes Mercury-BM " And so on. Yes, and avionics of most of the leading aircraft models (PAK FA, Su-35С, Yak-130, MiG-29К / cube, Il-476, Tu-204СМ) and helicopters (Ka-52 "Alligator", Mi-171А2) was created in the same place .
And they did not just understand, but began to solve the problem in a completely different way. Why do you need to launch expensive and difficult to produce ballistic missiles? Why do we need to make air strikes by divisions and armies? There must be another way ...
And to the honor of the concern's employees, this path was found. If the most complex systems control a weapon, then ... it is necessary to deceive these systems. But this is exactly what the EW complexes are doing! Here is what Vladimir Mikheev, Advisor to the First Deputy General Director of KRET, said to 10 in June:
"There are so-called false aerodynamic targets. They have a special EW system installed. It can depict a group of planes or cruise missiles in flight and simulate a false strike. Such works are at the final stage."
Moreover, according to Mikheev, several types of missiles, including cruise, of various bases can be used for this. Even air-to-air class ...
So, on the approach the new "restless households of foreman Semibaba". Imagine a "phase shift" in the enemy's warning systems when they see hundreds of flying missiles and airplanes? And they will not only see, but will give a command to destroy ... And they will give such a command. Massive raid ...
We often say that we have some kind of top-secret weapon. What just do not write in various media about this. And politicians, like the famous leader of one of the political parties, "throw logs on the fire." Convince readers in the presence of these weapons, I will not. Maybe eat, maybe not. But the fact that the new is a well-forgotten old, based on modern technology, is a fact. So it is worth reconsidering the Soviet war films. How many more restless farms are there ...
