An American officer spoke about the "barrel" of the F-4 fighter around the Tu-95.

US Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Siler told The Aviationist portal about how American fighter-interceptors in the 1970-s performed aerobatics next to the Soviet strategic bombers.

On the eve of the resource published photos, which captured the Soviet Tu-95 and the interceptor F-4 Phantom II at the time of the "barrel" - "turn to 360 degrees around the horizontal axis while maintaining the direction of flight." The author of the pictures was himself Siler, who served at that time as a navigator-operator of on-board armament systems.

The episode captured on film occurred at the end of 1973, the beginning of 1974, near Iceland.

According to the former navigator, “at that time, the United States Air Force intercepted twice a week the Bears (Bear - Tu-95 in NATO codification),” and this usually happened “on Fridays and Sundays when Soviet aircraft made training flights from Murmansk to Cuba.

We called these flights entertaining. As a rule, we made "barrels" at the request of Soviet crews. They gave signals when they wanted us to do the trick, and also took pictures of us,

quotes Silera RIA News.

The officer stressed that the maneuvers were not dangerous. In addition, "in those years, the Cold War slowed down, and relations between the military improved," he added.

The crew of the Tu-95 - guys with steel eggs. Well done. NATO pilots and less are crap.

Safe maneuvers. Hmm ... There were a couple of cases over the Atlantic. Phantom climbed into the screws “Bear”, What happened to the pilots - I do not know, ours came home on two engines, all alive. Second episode: two F-16s collided in front of the Tu-18, one managed to leave the office, the second did not. Ours came home on one engine. Safe - this is on the ground, in the parking lot, after the flight.

How and from what you can protect IL-76

It is noted that On November 23, in the airspace above the western coast of the Euphrates, the American F-22 fighter actively prevented a Russian pair of Su-25 attack aircraft from performing a combat mission to destroy the ISIS stronghold in the suburbs of Al-Mayadin.
“The F-22 aircraft fired heat traps and released brake flaps with constant maneuvering, simulating aerial combat.
After the appearance of a number of Russian multi-purpose super-maneuverable Su-35S fighter, the American fighter stopped dangerous maneuvers and hastened to retire into Iraqi airspace, ”the department said.

.......... On September 12, 1988, the MiG-23MLD group from the 120th IAP flew to strike at targets in the Kunar River valley east of Asadabad. Pakistani F-16 attacked the MiG-23MLD (board number 55) captain Sergei Privalov and inflicted damage to him.
............ Went in complete radio silence, tracking each other's sights ... Iran was beneath them ... It was not possible to get the ceiling right away - it's hot ... We landed in Syria. Tasks completed and went to the Union, but already through Turkey. Here, the group was attacked by NATO F-4. Two launches by themselves were observed by pilots ... However, the Turks missed: Drying went higher ...

in the form of HEAT and RADAR target.

The average cost of one Su-30СМ is about 1,5 billion rubles

И
From open sources - the cost of the previous modification of the aircraft - IL-76TD-90VD, delivered by the Tashkent plant to Volga-Dnepr Airlines, was indicated within 50-55 million dollars, the UAC documents for the year appear price 1111 million rubles - This is generally 36,5 million dollars. Let it be 55 million dollars.

I somehow don’t understand such frauds economically

Quote: svp67

in the form of HEAT and RADAR target.

on the video is not IL-76MD-90, also known as IL-476

On October 4 2013, an official contract was signed with Aviastar-SP CJSC for the supply of 39 Il-76-MD-90A transport aircraft for the needs of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The amount of this contract amounted to 140 billion rubles ..

140 billion rubles: 39 = 3,59 billion rubles, and that would be a pity for such a bait as SU-30СМ, although it is 60% cheaper.

The fact is that the Su-30 has a chance to “disrupt” the seizure, while Il has no such capabilities ...

[opus]

Quote: svp67

Yes, the fact that Su-30 has a chance to "break" the seizure

interesting...
how?
IKGSN will hover over Il (or his traps, if any, they have a tad more of them)
ARGSN (or PaGSN), which the bogeyles do not have on the ground, but the "partners" on the aircraft, will hover over the IL, even if SU was captured, well, except for the latter, with a digital signal processor and selection along the RLO contour.
Yes, in any case, they will bring down IL (although it was cheaper, it was, but with a load it is more important and more expensive).
===============================================
SU covered only from the coalition aviation, or rather, morally pressured it (because the train was not the same), but supported ours

The United States plans to operate the B-52 for another 40 years.
The last one was released in 1987. The last Tu-95 was launched in 1992.

[askort154]

, "Bullies" both sides always - adrenaline does not have a nationality. It was more often when approaching aircraft carriers to remove the radius of action of its fighters. There were cases leading to disasters on both sides. In the mid-70s, Brezhnev and Nixon signed a joint agreement to ensure flight safety in such situations. Minimum distances were established for such maneuvers. They have not been canceled so far. But the pilot will not be a pilot, so as not to try to "fly under the bridge." In the combat zone, these rules do not apply unless agreed upon in advance. Therefore, in Syria, both sides coordinate flight zones. But, the pilot is a pilot, check the opponent is not "lice" - in the blood.

That's why the personnel policy of the airline where I flew was as follows: no military pilots))

Ours asked - it means a maneuver "professional and safe." Now the wrong American has gone ... They’re not asking. So our barrels are doing "unprofessional and unsafe" Well, because "without application"
In general, I think professionalism fell among amers - they were obsessed with security

[Vard]

My father’s brother served on this plane as a shooter ... in the aft cabin ... somehow he said behind a glass of tea how they were intercepted by fighters ... there was an unwritten rule, do not go into the tail ... once they violated the rule and he gave warning turn ... the fighter darted so that it fell into a tailspin ...
