The Ministry of Defense decided to strengthen the military air defense

35
Ground Forces formations will be covered by an echeloned air defense dome. In 2018, the rearmament and significant strengthening of the standard anti-aircraft missile divisions, which are available in all tank and motorized rifle divisions, reported News.





“It is assumed that in the coming years, individual anti-aircraft missile divisions (AESD), which are provided by the state in each division of the Ground Forces, will be re-armed with Buk-МХNUMX and Buk-М2 air defense systems. In 3, they will be received by four divisions: two in the Western Military District and one each in the Eastern and Central. In each division of the Buk air defense missile system there are up to three rocket batteries with four launchers, ”the newspaper writes, citing the military department.

Another innovation in the framework of the new concept of the development of military air defense is the creation in the motorized rifle and tank regiments of their own areas with the Torahs (Previously, these air defense systems formed the basis of the air defense of the division).

As the lieutenant-general, retired Alexei Gorkov, told the newspaper, the combination of “Bukov” with “Torahs” will allow each division to provide a full-fledged echelon defense.

“Buki” will hit targets at distant approaches, and “Torah” will provide cover at near frontiers. This will result in a multi-layered, repeatedly overlapping, in particular, in height and distance, air defense zone. Complexes complement each other, "Buki" have some objects of cover, and "Torah" - others. In the aggregate, there will be a single fire system, a kind of "impenetrable dome",
said the expert.

According to him, after the implementation of all the planned activities, it will be possible to talk about a qualitative increase in the capabilities of the military air defense.

Thanks to the new approach, we will get an increase in combat and fire capabilities, noise immunity of the entire air defense group. This will be a major shift from the current level,
added Gorkov.

Buk-М2 - medium-range air defense missile system (up to km 50). The complex is mounted on a tracked chassis and can easily follow the advancing units. This air defense system is known for its versatility and can shoot down both standard aerodynamic targets (airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles) at all altitudes, as well as more sophisticated means of air attack, such as ballistic missiles or guided bombs.

“Thor” is a tactical anti-aircraft missile system with a firing range of up to 12 km (“Thor-M2” - up to 15 km). It operates almost at the forefront and covers the first echelon of land connections from missiles, UAVs, planning aerial bombs, airplanes and helicopters.

        Well, now they’ve modernized the Shell, increasing the range by two, up to 40 km, and detecting targets up to 75 km ... so there’s still what you need to see which complex is better in this case. In any case, the air defense seal is on the face and it pleases.

          Long range - expensive missiles, in the USA there was a competition for a military drone worth up to $ 179, with a massive raid missiles will not be enough - only bullets - shells can try to cope with a swarm of drones. Although I am sure that not a single air defense will give 100 percent defense, God forbid a future war, the first, the HITCH, will win.

      That is, as it were, logical that after the saturation of the S-400, they will begin to rearm and saturate the military air defense. It started this year already.

      This will result in a multilayer air defense zone, overlapping, in particular, in terms of height and distance, in particular. The complexes complement each other, the "Buki" have some objects of protection, and the "Torah" - others. In aggregate, we get a single fire system, a kind of "impenetrable dome"

      Great idea! I really hope that there will be no hitches with the implementation.

        Most likely, funds appeared to create such domes. Such cover is the preservation of both technology and human resources. The main thing is that these plans would be realized.

    It’s even hard to imagine how our soldiers should be specialists in each separate area of ​​military affairs with the arrival of sophisticated and high-precision weapons systems in the troops. But this is not bad, in addition, such a weapon is more automatic with the introduction of artificial intelligence. And for this, there is no need to save on science and education, as our president requires.

    I don’t understand anything. Divisions were always at the regimental level, and were armed with Shilka, Tunguska or Strela1 / 10-i.e. all short range.
    In the divisions (FFM, etc.) there were short-range air defense systems with short-range air defense systems, i.e. Torahs and Osa, and the latter, and now there are quite a lot left. Beeches (medium-range air defense systems) were in anti-aircraft brigades, i.e. at the army level.
    Or is it a return to the old idea, when the FFM or SRP with the Osa, and so on - the SRP with the Cubes or is generally unintelligible.
    In any case, this is the newspaper Izvestia.
