Can the Syrian MiG-25 withstand the American "Tomahawk"?

The Syrian Air Force has limited capabilities to destroy American Tomahawk cruise missiles, writes Messenger of Mordovia.

For example, the Air Force still has about thirty MiG-25PDs (Foxbat - "flying fox").

“A radar station installed on its board is capable of detecting targets against the background of the earth. There is also a heat finder, which can also detect an air enemy. There are P-40RD, P-40TD and P-60 missiles. However, military experts doubt that this equipment and these missiles are now capable of effectively performing their tasks. Still, the age of these machines and their armaments has passed for three decades, ”- said in a publication by Igor Drozdov.

Perhaps a few aircraft will be able to take to the air, as it was recently during the reflection of the Israeli raid, but they can do little with a massive strike with Tomahawks, the newspaper notes.

The same applies to the MiG-23 aircraft as part of the SAR Air Force - they are outdated and heavily worn out.

According to the author, the only modern aircraft can be considered MiG-29, especially in the modification of the MiG-29CM (SMT), "but there are only about three dozen, and the number of upgraded machines is a few."

Therefore, the Syrians can rely only on their anti-aircraft systems and systems of the Russian VKS deployed in the republic, concludes the publication.

Those. Are your words based on guesses? And what does it mean to see? Detected, guided the target, guided air defense systems, highlighted? And for some reason, it also seems to me that ours chose a defense style where it is not necessary to shoot down missiles. Suffice it to say that not three missiles were fired, but 8, of which 5 were shot down. After all, it is impossible to prove how accurately shot down. This is all for domestic consumption, as our MO then knows exactly how many were let down and how many were shot down. Moreover, Israelis know from the USA and NATO. That is why, it seems to me that they are not afraid to regularly hit Syria. This is all, I repeat for the fools, guesses. I hope ... although what to hope ... all the same, the blows will continue until a real, effective answer is given in the teeth of the brazen masters of the world

Moscow. April 9th. INTERFAX.RU - Israeli planes launched a missile strike from Lebanese airspace at an airfield in Syria on Monday night, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"On April 9, between 3:25 a.m. to 3:53 a.m. (Moscow time), two Israeli Air Force F-15 aircraft, without entering Syrian airspace, from Lebanon struck eight guided missiles at the Tifor airfield," a Russian source said military department.

They added that the Syrian air defense units were able to destroy five guided missiles, and three missiles reached the western part of the airfield. The Russian Ministry of Defense said that there are no Russian advisers in Syria.

Your preference is expensive. The cost of the S-400 missile is higher than that of the Tomahawk, and the number of axes is greater than the S-400 missiles. Axes are better with Shells (my not too professional opinion).

[misti1973]

The shells can surely work on them, if only the target designation will be provided by the S-300, S-400, Antey complex radar. Yes, and even then not all missiles will work.

You can rush to a tank with a saber. True, they will kill! But they will write that he died as a hero.

It's right. British air defense planes shot down German KR V-1 even on
screw fighters, sometimes machine guns, sometimes even a ram.
They circled continuously, replacing each other, who noticed - knocked down.
And today, if there is a target designation in advance, then it’s easy to catch and shoot down from above.

Up to 900 km / h, not quite and low speed

880 km per hour is the maximum speed at altitude. It flies as low as possible and goes around the Tomahawk relief at a speed of the order of half a Mach or a little less than 600 km per hour, i.e. piston Messer so could accelerate. Envelope relief - extremely primitive maneuvering, the whole chip in close to the target popping up from the horizon. Radar Barrier at Mig-31, was designed specifically for the selection of targets stalking near the ground. In fact, the 31st, their entire doctrine was overturned when they completely abandoned the high-speed high-altitude breakthrough, abandoned Drozd and brought the Valkyrie, but also became a very effective tool against the promising (then) Tomahawks. They also changed because of him the doctrine of the use of CR, instead of dozens of nuclear Tomahawks, decided to launch thousands of non-nuclear ones, and the ZhPS allowed them to hit exactly the target (theoretically), they say they won’t cope with the swarm, like someone will break through.

Do not smack nonsense ...
Mig-31 was not able to shoot down more than 1 Tomahawk in a massive attack ...
He did not have enough time from the moment of selection and goals and guidance to the point. no fuel.
And the tomahawks in the salvo could be several hundred ...
Only in one hit.

All this nonsense about the focus of the MiG-31 against the Ax is complete nonsense.
Axes can be shot down by absolutely any plane with a normal radar with target selection against the background of the earth.

It’s not a matter of seeing on the radar (although now they have very small “axes” of composites and EPRs). You need a rocket to hit. Tomahawks maneuver, and we have rockets with a semi-active head. Here I will see how it will be easy.

How very clever a wise guy should know that the main political and economic centers of the USSR / RF are thousands of kilometers from the border and coast, the time spent in flight Tomahawk, from the territory of, say, Germany, through the German Democratic Republic, Poland and the Baltic states, say to Moscow, is estimated ... hours . Let's say from Hamburg to Moscow almost 1800 kilometers, i.e. fly exactly 3 hours. This is me about the reaction time of the interceptors, there was also a continuous radar coverage, and already after passing the first line of defense this creature would have been fixed. Moreover, the sadness of people like you around the terrain on the Russian Plain is not very effective. There could not be several hundred Tomahawks in one salvo, there were few of them in nuclear equipment with inertial guidance, they did not concentrate in one place, and sea carriers did not have universal launchers and even the cruiser carried several pieces. Now the border has approached, but there is a treaty and the Tomahawks only on sea carriers, and then an hour and a half will fly from Poland.

1. Here are just the TU for the Tomahawks in those days there were several hundred, and you remember. What did PU Tomahawk look like? I remember these pictures very well ... and they are the first - they were all in nuclear equipment.


2. It is only on our theater that the normal flight height for the tomahawk is 30 meters. And in the flat areas. down to 15 meters.
For maps for terkoma and dsmak - are updated every 2 weeks ...
And you don’t even need to bend around the topography especially.
For all the PVO at such a height becomes simply useless.

3. In the current conditions, with 5 tomahawks only on available media - more than enough for the eyes ...

4. How many airplanes do we currently have in the Western theater, which, in which case, will be able to drop the border guard from the enemy air force and start chasing a couple of hundred Tomahawks?

[hrych]

Quote: ZVO

Judging by the flag, you are in Russia and apparently this bowl will pass you if something and the Tomahawks select their On a one and a half hour flight from Tomahawk to Moscow, Washington will burn in 20 minutes because the ICBM flight time is such, and if with a submarine, it depends on the patrol area for about 10 minutes. This is a word about the threat of this superweapon. The best defense is a guaranteed and comprehensive answer. Trident 2 even flies in 10-30 minutes, and then the clock for a reaction 5 thousand Tomahawks are non-nuclear, because they are super-high-precision type of ZhPS help them, etc. True, we will turn off his reception, seek out EMP, etc. The Mig-31 interceptors were designed for that time and for the technological level that I wrote about. And now the interceptors do not need to chase. Now there are other possibilities. Mig-31 with its Barrier, can work like an AWACS aircraft and aim other planes, okay enough about it. Well, okay, there’s such a ZGRLS called Container, it is a strategic locator, an early warning, but unlike Voronezh, it sees 3000 km not warheads popping up due to the radio horizon and flying at an altitude of hundreds and thousands of kilometers, but at least near the surface meter and the same 3000 km. Already a massive attack of the Kyrgyz Republic will fix and give the command to burn the United States. He will also bring air defense means to the Kyrgyz Republic and other stealth. Still, to sneak near the ground and go around the terrain, you must turn on the altimeter, and he phonite. Another sadness for Western strategists and henchmen is that five thousand Tomahawks are located on surface ships and submarines. So, to give a salvo of 5 thousand missiles, you need to fit all the troughs, but right to our coast, for they have a range limit of 1000 km, well, one and a half, they can fly up to 2,5 thousand in the nuclear. Naturally, all carriers and these 5 thousand are scattered around the globe, in fact, where these vessels are floating, it takes a month to adjust them all, and this can be seen from technical intelligence. Submarines, yes, can still send a volley of hundreds of missiles, they can get closer to the shore, but not in thousands. Do you even understand this? All carriers are marine and everything must be adjusted to the launch distance. And there is coastal defense, and also PLO. Frontier from the coast still needs to be overcome. And secondly, I personally hope that we will be the first to deliver a preemptive strike, or rather the first to attack, deliver a disarming strike, crush the defenses and burn their civilization and their lousy people. At least those devices that Putin advertised will allow this when our army is saturated with them. Well, their coast is completely vulnerable to weapons on different principles, of the same torpedo with a hundred or two megatons.

Israel is training Syrian air defense and missile defense quite well, for some reason they don’t write where they went and that they destroyed the rockets that burst. The Arabs are always slack, an acquaintance was on a business trip to Libya in 1985-86 and said that ours had been warned of an American raid, Libyan air defense had been brought into full combat. After the raid, the Libyans brought a melted cockpit from the C 200, like for repair, in short turned on the radar and went to drink tea, at that moment the American rocket flew in at the signal - that's how the Arabs are fighting. In Syria, a little better lunch break is what is worth during the offensive. But Israel, I hope it will raise its combat training, they will relax less.

MiG 25 can well withstand the American Tomogawks (for this fighter it is a feasible goal), the main thing is to have time to raise the fighters into the air, because with a massive strike with "axes" airfields will be a priority target))

[Orionvit]

Quote: Drovosek

for this fighter is a feasible goal)

Nonsense. MiG-25 is a high-altitude high-speed interceptor. At low altitudes and speeds, it is poorly controlled and generally imprisoned for other purposes. When it was created, it completely coped with the “cruise missiles” of those years, in which the heights were quite imaginary. New generations of cruise missiles such as Tomahawk or X-55 are products that fly in other ranges of speeds and altitudes. For example, you will not go to the duck with a machine gun, it is pointless, you will take a shotgun, since it is more effective in these conditions. There is about the same thing, each bird has its own prey.

[misti1973]

Yes, and there is little hope for anti-aircraft complexes with a massive strike. The shell alone takes them badly because of the low-lying radar. That is, air defense should be layered. If they deliver a massive strike (which they don’t need at all), they will destroy the radars first. And without air defense radars, not air defense.

The effectiveness of using the Tomahawks in Yugoslavia was 65 percent, in Iraq during the “Desert Storm” 55 percent. This was with the simultaneous use of hundreds of NATO aircraft with bombs and missiles. Despite this, Serbian pilots managed to shoot down tomahawks even from air guns. According to Soviet intelligence, a total of 282 tomahawks were fired over Iraq during the entire Desert Storm. Some 130 did not reach the target. Partly for technical reasons, but most were shot down. Mostly from Strela and Igla MANPADS, and also from ZU-23-2 and ZPU-4. Moreover, the fire on the tomahawks was often carried out visually, and not with the help of radars. But the truth was played by the fact that the Iraqis had previously determined the likely routes of the KR. There were only 2 of them, due to the terrain .And throughout the routes, round-the-clock duty of air defense calculations was organized. It was due to unsuccessful missile attacks that didn’t pay for themselves in this war that the USA later refused to use tomahawks in the daytime. So do not exaggerate. The relief in Syria is certainly more complicated, and more suitable for the inconspicuous passage of the Kyrgyz Republic, unlike the more flat Iraq, but do not hesitate, the Syrians are studying. A bad experience is also an experience, with competent analysis.
