In the Pacific Fleet, an army of air force and air defense

In 2018, the marine Aviation and Pacific Air Defense Forces fleet will be combined as part of the army with headquarters in Kamchatka, according News.

The new operational association will include at least two divisions - the aviation and air defense forces. The zone of responsibility of the future association extends from the Northern Kuriles to the Arctic island of Wrangel.

“The basis of the grouping of the new army will be the 317th mixed aviation regiment stationed in Yelizovo near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and the 53rd air defense division based there. The air regiment has a squadron of anti-submarine aircraft with modernized Il-38N "Novella". High-altitude MiG-31 interceptors are also based in Yelizovo. There are also helicopter squadrons in Kamchatka and drones. Some air units will be replenished with new equipment in the future and will receive regimental status, ”the newspaper writes, citing sources in the Russian Defense Ministry.

The Air Force and Air Defense Army will operate in a single control loop with the main forces of the Pacific Fleet and the entire Eastern Military District.

According to military expert Alexei Leonkov, the creation of such formations in the Pacific direction is very timely.

This region has recently become "hot." US military activity here has increased many times under the pretext of the North Korean missile threat. In the area of ​​Chukotka and Kamchatka we are directly bordering Alaska, where large US aviation and naval bases are built. In the Pacific, the United States has six aircraft carriers,

said the expert.

He noted that the formation of the Air Force and Air Defense armies can be regarded as an asymmetric response to the activity of the US military aircraft.

Concentration under the unified command of the reconnaissance and strike capabilities of naval aviation and air defense forces is an essential deterrent to any aggressive inclinations,

Leonkov added.

MVSN - Strategic Naval Forces ...
Do we really get on a war footing?
as a very famous character said: "My heart feels that we are on the eve of a grandiose chucher"

It is very similar to that, if we do not have time to dig it.

They don’t have enough shovel , we will have to dig ourselves.

It is very good that instead of poorly managed air bases created during the unsuccessful reform of 2008, regiments and divisions are being recreated. Under a single command, aviation and air defense forces will be able to quickly track threats in their area of ​​responsibility and prevent a sudden air attack.
PS I read that the Defense Ministry plans to create another army of the Air Force and Air Defense with subordinate units deployed in Primorye. Her area of ​​responsibility will already include: Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, the Sea of ​​Japan and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

[Waterfowl]

US planes are active, and we ..... they don’t need guys, we have an army here! There was a commander of the diverse forces of Kamchatka, we are creating an unnecessary superstructure - why?

[To be or not to be]

"It is expected that at the second stage of structural reform, another army of the Air Force and Air Defense with subordinate units deployed in Primorye will appear in the Pacific Fleet. Its area of ​​responsibility will include Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, the Sea of ​​Japan and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk."

[To be or not to be]

Will there really be a new USC? As a UNITED NORTH Fleet STRATEGIC COMMAND, which recently celebrated three years !!!

There are many operational areas for the BBO. The area of ​​responsibility of the Eastern Military District includes more than 40 percent of the continental part of Russia and 144 million nautical miles of the World Ocean. The land border moved to Lake Baikal, and the marine area of ​​responsibility extends to 30 degrees south latitude.
Yes, and at present, the role of TOZ has increased significantly for a number of reasons:
- the economic development of the countries of the zone and their role in the global economy
-concentration of US efforts in the economic, trade and political spheres in this region
-with the development of the Northern Sea Route ...

[Lord of the Sith]

Do you think in vain that there are three S-400 divisions instead of the two assigned. Coastal anti-ship complexes protecting the future headquarters of the army are also deployed, as well as airfields on the islands are brought into proper shape.

[Knowing]

"The area of ​​responsibility of the future association extends from the Northern Kuril Islands to the Arctic island of Wrangel."- and who will look after the South Kuril Islands ...

[Romario_Argo]

South Kuril Islands and Sakhalin are the responsibility of the 68 army corps
The main problem is Kamchatka, than to cover Vilyuchinsk and Anadyr, a strip of coast in 2000 km.
It is necessary to form a new Army, you can call the Army Corps (!)
To at least "linearly" (900 km) block Kamchatka - 2 motorized divisions (600 km); 2 Marine Corps Brigades to block at least “locally” the coastline (200 km.) In Vilyuchinsk and Anadyr.
That's where you need it first of all - helicopter carriers or UDC (Kuril Islands, Kamchatka, Sakhalin)

[Romario_Argo]

They promise that over time, a “coastal army” will appear in the Pacific Fleet to protect the Kuril and Sakhalin, apparently the army will be 68 AK

[cannabis]

But what about the vaunted brigade system? Yes, they added colonel posts, but will they give airplanes? If the process goes well, you will have to re-create the Unified Energy System of the country, but what about Chubais, the “great and terrible”?

[Galleon]

Just when forming divisions, the need for staffing units will appear. And these are new orders for the aviation industry, as well as for those who make air defense systems.
Very good news! In those parts, this measure is really necessary! It was already visible in the 90s. God willing, and in Sovgavan IAP will be restored, but not on MIG-23, but on new cars You look, and life appears on Father Matua, the airfield heals ...

[basmach]

In order for this to fly, we need specialists. And then where to get them. Only a regiment is about 200 techies and engineers (and not green summers), not counting OBATO, OBS RTO. , I'm not talking about flyers. They will appear by pike.
You can say halvah 100 times, but in your mouth it will not become sweeter. In the 90 I served in the 1 VA in the Far East. Only in Ussuriysk was the 303 HELL. This is front-line aviation. In Vozdvizhenka, in addition to my 523 Orshansky, the Tu-22M2 / 3 regiment also had aircraft carrier hunters. Plus naval aviation.
The air army is a huge material and human resources. And if you cram into it (as in the example of Kamchatka) everything and anti-submarine, and anti-aircraft, and other aircraft, dilute all this with ground-based air defense, it will turn out to be unintelligible and poorly managed, I won’t even talk about the supply — the rear of the rear is a structure with units with very diverse tasks. And then the airbase system will seem to be the height of perfection.

[faridg7]

Yeah, with longing, I recall the stingy division in Knevichi

[SPACE]

The news expected is what American aircraft carriers will drive.
Z.Y. Kamchatka is the very nature created aircraft carrier.

[Going]

Like the Crimea on the Black Sea.

[Boris Petrovich]

Moreover, unsinkable.

[Waterfowl]

Will the general, army commander, with his headquarters drive?

[BVS]

That is, the appearance of an additional managerial structure (army headquarters) will help the US aircraft carriers drive the airplanes? The "poor" Americans are completely afraid.

[mih_sergeev92]

The main thing is that the aircraft on this aircraft carrier have time to return on time ... All the same, mobile aircraft carriers are more efficient, but they have cut them all for scrap, and they promise to start building something in about 5 years. It would be too late ..

[rocket757]

Everything is logical, to guard and protect, if that send an answer!
Far from the center of course, but of course our land !!! Moreover, there are such riches .... there are always those who want to "bite off"!

Not just those who wish, but already saliva is flowing and the knives are sharpened, so there is something to work on.

[rocket757]

Uncle Sam's saliva is ... they are simple guys, they live on reflexes!
Knives, and we can and samurai swords, the narrow-eyed "brothers" of the samurai, it will become from them!
The places there are certainly harsh, but beautiful and passion like the RICH.
We are the descendants of our great ancestors, do not shame and save! If only the authorities quietly didn’t get it, you have to look !!!

[Going]

We don’t want someone else’s, but we won’t give our own.

[silverwolf88]

From what we went into the perestroika collapse ... we come back to that ... BUT at a new level of combining tasks in the area of ​​responsibility ... well, well

[Waterfowl]

Return to perestroika collapse is bad.

[silverwolf88]

maybe you didn’t understand ... in the perestroika collapse we left the Air Defense Armies combining aviation ... ZRV and RTV (support units) ... now - we are returning with a new level of understanding of tasks in the operational direction (TVD) ...
This is not a return to the perestroika mess ... but a return to the order that was BEFORE ...

[aszzz888]

... the troops will not be superfluous, and the ears of the mericatos will be held ...

[BVS]

Troops or headquarters? After all, with the same troops, only a new management structure will be added.

[aszzz888]

BVS Today, 10:00 ↑ Troops or headquarters?

... my post is about troops, not anarchy ...

[rocket757]

Troops, reliable protection are understandable, they must be mastered and settled.
Be fruitful - multiply or relocate !!!! This is a problem ... a question for the authorities. What is being done and how?

[Rushnairfors]

This army will be MOSCH !!!!! - 1ae mig31 in Yelizovo, il38 squadron, "killed" IL38 regiment in Nikolaevka, tu142x squadron in Mongokhta, a separate sae (an26, tu134, an12) in Artyom, well, in the Kamchatka Keys understand that - the transport squadron mixed with the FSB aviation, don’t understand who commands there at all. The equipment is old. Mig31 to the BM level, like from the next year, they will only go for modernization.

[Rushnairfors]

I hope the situation with air defense is much better.
