    Recently there was an article about the deplorable state of the air defense of the Far East. This is good news, I think they will replace the C 300, but in general you still need to cover Svobodny, there is an airfield of the 1st class, and next to it is the new Bureyskaya hydroelectric station, Blagoveshchensk, trans-Siberian railroad, BAM ...

      Recently there was an article about the deplorable state of the air defense of the Far East.

      That's right, a good analytical article. There, the air defense and air force units were reduced so much that only 8 long-range air defense divisions of the S-300, S-400 type remained on the entire Far East. So it is definitely necessary to strengthen so that no one is tempted to meddle there.

      And you read less of these Google “analyzers”; they also collect all nonsense about the air defense and fleet on the Internet and give it out as truth, although they don’t know anything about the real situation.
