            You are wrong, he was appointed to the post of commander of the VKS, and not the Air Force. And the Air Force is part of the Air Forces and there is its commander of the Russian Air Force since August 1 2015 of the year is Lieutenant General Andrei Yudin.

              The Air Force and VKS are the same eggs only on the left. In other countries, this is simply called the "Air Force," but it also includes the command of the space constellation. Even in poor Israel, with military satellites, etc., there is no VKS, but only the Air Force.
              But this is not about that, but about how a land explorer can command aviators. My father served more than 20 calendars in aviation and in his memory there was a case when they were transferred to army aviation under the command of generals boots. Thank God not for long and there were no casualties, although this was not far away. For example, not flying weather, but the green general, "Who decided?" Him "The chief of weather services is captain such and such." General "Will you captain tell me to fly or not to fly?" And so on.
              And about the little things like "Why is everything here without shoulder straps?" I won’t even tell.
              There is a specificity in aviation. We were burned when the Air Force Commander-in-Chief was appointed to command the armed forces. This was the first and last time.

                        ... yeah ... only there is a squiggle ... we read:
                        The peculiarity of the state of the US Armed Forces in the 80s was that each type of armed forces of the SV, Air Force and Navy had its own subordinate detection, warning and warning systems and the corresponding infrastructure of subordinate facilities. In this regard, in the interests of increasing the efficiency of their daily activities and combat use, space command of the SV, Air Force and Navy were formed. Operational planning and control of the forces and means of these commands was entrusted to the joint space command of the US Armed Forces formed precisely for these purposes.
                        In the future, the views of the US leadership on the use of outer space for military purposes underwent significant changes associated with the new international situation (the collapse of the USSR, the Warsaw Treaty, the end of the Cold War phase, the growing threat from countries supporting terrorist organizations) and scientific and technological progress in the field of space technology. The results of the analysis of military operations in the Persian Gulf, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan, which demonstrated the undoubted usefulness of space forces and means in ensuring military operations of any scale, also had a great influence on the formation of new views on the use of space in the interests of ensuring US national security.
                        The current state and development prospects of the space component of the US armed forces are determined by fundamental documents of a doctrinal nature. Among them: "US Space Policy", enforced by a directive of the president PDD-49 in September 1996; Secretary of Defense Directive No. 3100.10, Space Policy, US Department of Defense (1999); Directive of the Minister of Defense “Organization and management of space activities carried out in the interests of national security”, signed on October 18, 2001; United States Joint Space Command Document “Long-Term Space Forces Development Plan” (1998); AFDD 2-2 special document “Space Operations”.

                  Poking a finger at a map where aviation needs to strike is one thing, but planning forces and means to accomplish a task is completely different; here you need to know very well the characteristics of the equipment and the means of destruction used.
                  It is very short-sighted to hope that competent deputies will cope with all the nuances, given the not very good reviews about this person in relations with subordinates. Here these subordinates can, as they say, also bit a bite. And the situation will look very much like the role of the wedding general - it seems that he is, but no good from him.

                      In aviation, only the first ammunition is used without question under the General Staff Directive in the event of hostilities. Everything else is applied after a detailed analysis of the types of aircraft intended for engaging targets and designated for performing a combat mission. This applies to ground operations. To confront in the air, you need to know the capabilities of a potential enemy in an air battle, and from here plan what means to use. And then you can foolishly break the genital organ.
                      Further ... A good officer subordinates do not shoot in the office from the service weapon. no matter how good he is, but this fact speaks of his leadership abilities. Not to mention the trial over the theft of weapons. Yes! He was later acquitted, but here you need to look at a slightly different angle - who would have climbed under the ax because of Yeltsin’s protege in those days. And he became in favor when the soldiers of his battalion crushed three civilians while suppressing the putsch. This can be treated differently, but to hide behind the execution of an order from a higher command is rather ridiculous. Especially a few years after the same Yeltsin destroyed the USSR, and, accordingly, the comrade did not remember the oath of allegiance to this country.
                      Our regiment was also raised on alert, no one knew anything at all, moreover, they suspended the nuclear BC in the event of an external attack. But when everything became clearer after the endless Swan Lake on TV, they were simply outraged by the stupidities of those in power. And if there would be at least some provocation? What then? The end of the country (here we must recall the state of the country and the army at that time)?

          So aviation, there, roughly speaking, is 30% and it has its own commander. The air defense, the "astronauts", and everyone who is part of the air forces also have their own commanders. So the post of the Commander-in-Chief of the videoconferencing is administrative, why not appoint an intelligent general arms officer to it?

          That’s the whole parsley, that the hunters use aviation as a means of delivering something and somewhere. But try to say that aviation can conduct independent actions and that it has a form of application - an air operation. Here he will sit ... in a puddle, I mean. But naturally, he will put this on the shoulders of the Air Force commander, as on deputy. But I think he is able to carry out general management of the type of aircraft, because aviation in its current form is only about 30-40% of the total species. Bertsa already cleaned everything?

            Remember the common truth, until the soldier has entered the enemy’s territory, all your air fuss does not play a role. And this is practice, all air operations about which you so ambitiously declare, their goal is to ensure the actions of ground troops.

        To the achievements of this "fired fighter" can be added the most sensitive losses of Russia in Syria, for the entire existence of the group. The death of General Asapov and several colonels, the largest casualties of PMCs ... Surovikin could not organize the crossing of the Euphrates River in Deir Ez-Zor, and block the Kurds. Therefore, his merit is that the Kurds got the largest oil fields, and 75% of all Syrian oil. Surovikin is clearly not the one who successfully led the group in Syria.
        It is also noted that he is extremely tough on subordinates. His biography has dark spots. This is the suicide of the deputy commander of the 34th motorized rifle division for arming Colonel Andrei Shtakal, immediately after a harsh conversation with Surovikin, in the presence of subordinates. And he was also accused of complicity in the arms trade. But the matter was hushed up.

                I take well-known facts for analysis. I hope you do not doubt that it was precisely during the Surovikin’s command in Syria that the greatest human losses occurred (up to the colonels and the general), including PMCs? And also the fact that the task of transporting troops across the Euphrates River (covered all over the world, a photo of the video material is complete!) Failed to block the progress of the Kurds to oil fields? The price of this failure is the largest oil deposits in the hands of the Kurds!
                In war, of course, there are no losses. But, only under Surovikin they were the most sensitive, it is a fact.

            Surovikin, when K42 was serving as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, never gave anyone any reason to A-doubt his right to give ORDERS, B-the correctness of the ORDERS given to him, the C-ability of the CD, to take decisions and give orders, to be responsible for those whom he sent to carry out the task, Mr. in his commander and human relation to subordinates.
            Having the opportunity to compare Surovikin and Makarevich, I have every right to say that if Makarevich walked over the corpses to achieve his goals, then Surovikin was not noticed in this. then Surovikin is not characteristic of the phrase-absolutely not characteristic.

    Well, in addition to the Air Force, the Air Force also includes anti-aircraft and missile defense forces and space forces. Why must a pilot have to command them all? The Air Force Commander is the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force, and he is definitely an aviator. It seems to me that it makes sense to put in time a command of the airborne forces, a combined-arms commander with combat experience, in order to take into account, update or establish interaction of the airborne forces with other types of the RF Armed Forces.

          I recommend that you take a magnifying glass, look into the far right corner of the article you have indicated. You will see where the opus is taken from.
          Since June 2004 - commander of the 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Evpatoria Red Banner Division, stationed in the Chechen Republic. This compound was the basis of the Ministry of Defense grouping in the area of ​​the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus and has repeatedly participated in clashes with Chechen fighters.
          Commanding both divisions, Surovikin gained a reputation as a tough and demanding military leader. During his service in Chechnya, his public promise "to destroy three fighters for every soldier who died" gained wide resonance. Then he served in the 20th Guards Red Banner Combined Arms Army (headquarters - Voronezh): from November 2005, deputy commander, from May 2006 - chief of staff - first deputy commander, from April 2008 - army commander.
          Since November 2008 - Head of the Main Operations Directorate (GOU) of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (in charge of planning and command and control). Traditionally, both in Soviet times and in the recent history of Russia, GOUs were led by military leaders with predominantly staff experience, while Surovikin spent most of his military career in command posts.
          Since the spring of 2011, he led the working group on the creation of the military police of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, then acted as head of the newly created Main Directorate of the Military Police of the Ministry of Defense. On July 7, 2011, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov told reporters that the structure "will be led by Lieutenant General Surovikin." However, the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, the Chief Military Prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky, opposed the appointment, indicating that the candidate had a criminal record (in 1995 Surovikin was sentenced to one year in prison for “complicity in the acquisition and sale of firearms” and violation of the rules for wearing it, however, then the conviction was quashed, and in 2012 the sentence was quashed “for the absence of corpus delicti in the acts”).
          As a result, Surovikin was never appointed head of the military police, but instead in October 2012 he became chief of staff - first deputy commander of the troops of the Eastern Military District (BBO, headquarters - Khabarovsk). In October 2013 he was appointed commander of the BBO troops. In this post, in particular, he was actively engaged in the creation of military infrastructure in the Kuril Islands and in the Arctic.

          So you are either a note troll, spreading all kinds of nonsense, or not a very gifted person, judging others about all kinds of gossip.

It follows that the commander of the VKS should be the commander who understands the priorities of the forces working on the ground and the limitations of aviation. This is logical. Those who really want to be sure to see the pilot at the head should be asked: "Do you have checkers, or go?"

      Resentment flying ... pilots stuck. We can see how it will be, we can’t dig trenches on take-off and will not force them ... but the drill crew will not hinder anyone, we’ve gone to serve the club of interest.
      Our discipline is everything !!!

          non-principal - are you a talker?
          Thanks I'll know.
          Is there anything else to say in my defense?

    There is a saying: "Where the Air Force begins, order ends." So, probably, a lot of people saw a mess in the VKS and decided to appoint the next Hercules to clean these stables. It is incomprehensible only tossing his carcass from one place to another. It seems that he is like a suitcase without a handle - and it is a pity to interfere and toss.
    And now I want to specifically point out one of the places he occupied earlier, or rather, the military police. There he did nothing good, and now she is a crowd of loafers. But once she thought well. I read, I remember, once in the "Foreign Military Review" about the American military police. At the "Amers" she conducts all operational and investigative actions. And in our country, interrogating officers continue to do this instead of serving in the service. I myself scribbled so much paper with a sinister character when they appointed me to this.
    Their second function should be what the so-called "responsible" from among officers and contractors are doing now in units and units. After all, after an unregistered workload. And I once spoke with an American officer who said that in the evenings the military police check their barracks for all the illegal things. And even in the Navy it is the same with them.
    Well, the third task she should have is the fight against barracks racket. We have such a phenomenon even after the introduction of payment cards, but no one is struggling with this. Yes, much more this structure should do, but does not, instead working as a commandant patrol. But the most interesting thing is that our officers are still appointed duty officers on commandant's office.
    So in the military police, this general did not cope with his task. And what, someone thinks that he will cope with the flyers?

      But he was appointed to the post of commander of this structure? No? Then what is your ragging ??
      Of course, throw a lump of dirt, no matter what and why, maybe something sticks .. so you have nothing, a lot and everything is not the case.
