“Dagger” verdict of Russia

182
Russian hypersonic anti-ship weapon the new generation may be a decisive argument in favor of the refusal of the Russian Federation from its own carrier fleet.





The first access to the sea for sea trials of the second Chinese aircraft carrier, which took place on May 13 this year, inspires mixed feelings. Firstly, this is a sense of respect for the truly great Chinese people, who managed to arrange the almost conveyor release of these complex warships in the shortest possible time. historical deadlines. The first aircraft carrier, completed from the Soviet Varyag purchased in Ukraine in 1998, was delivered to the fleet in 2012, and the second was actually built from scratch at a Chinese shipyard in four years! Moreover, there is reason to believe that for the Chinese this is far from the limit of possibilities. And in the near future they will "bake" their aircraft carriers literally like pies.

Secondly, it is, of course, a sense of pride in the highest level of Soviet military shipbuilding, the projects of which even after almost 50 years were not outdated at all and were built by the Chinese as the basis of their first aircraft carrier. I say this with full confidence. Because ambitious China, intending to no less than surpass the United States in economic and military power, would never have laid in the foundation of its shipbuilding program deliberately outdated projects that automatically make it a second-rate country.

Moreover, I suspect that the next Chinese aircraft carrier, which is conceived as a full-scale, classic competitor to American giants, will be painfully familiar and will look like one of the draft designs of Russian design bureaus already presented to the public. Type the same aircraft carrier "Storm".

And finally, thirdly, this feeling of annoyance, understandable for any patriot of Russia. Who sees how in the neighboring country the most large-scale naval projects, obviously having Russian roots, are being successfully implemented, whereas in the RF itself they have great difficulty, and even almost in perpetual repairs, one aircraft-carrying cruiser. And the construction of new ships of this class for twenty years can not advance further turbulent newspaper discussions.

However, all of the above is inspired by the feelings, that is, the emotional perception of the new Chinese success against the background of our own endless slips.

And now let's assess the situation with aircraft carriers, so to speak, sober, without essentially irrational emotions.

Question one: does modern Russia have the necessary scientific and design base for building such ships? Answer: certainly has. Accumulated experience has not disappeared without a trace. Experts are still alive, who probably managed to pass on their unique knowledge to the new generation of designers. In addition, the specialized Russian design bureaus fully preserved not only the design documentation for the combat units already built, but also a huge, truly inexhaustible creative reserve for the future. Successful overhaul with the modernization of the Indian aircraft carrier "Vikremaditya" (former "Admiral Gorshkov") clearly demonstrated that they managed to preserve not only the Soviet "know-how", but also practical skills for implementing such projects. And at the level of large production teams.

Question two: Does Russia have shipbuilding facilities to build an aircraft carrier fleet? Indeed, in the USSR, aircraft carriers were built only in the now “independent” city of Nikolaev on the Black Sea. Fully sure this is a solvable problem. Even on the sites of currently existing shipyards, subject to their minimal reconstruction. With the commissioning of the shipbuilding giant, the Zvezda plant in the Far East, capable of building ships of almost any tonnage and complexity, this problem will become completely irrelevant.

As for the availability of state funding for such projects, one should not forget that only one percent of Russian billions invested in American securities will be more than enough for the planned construction of an aircraft carrier fleet.

The third and most important question: why then Russia does not build aircraft carriers? Moreover, the experience of the same China, which rushed in pursuit of the United States in this field, seems to speak in favor of the undoubted need for such ships as part of the Russian fleet.

However, we will not rush to conclusions. China, like the US, has an export-oriented industrial economy. Plus, the national economy of China is even more than the United States depends on stable imports of energy and various kinds of raw materials. Moreover, such imports, in their largest part, go precisely by sea. Therefore, reliable protection of maritime communications for China is a matter of national survival. And to save on the construction of aircraft carriers there just will not. US motivation is even more primitive. They just control most of the planet today. And in order to preserve this domination, they need to keep in their hands the world ocean. From here and aircraft carriers.

Russia differs significantly from the two mentioned powers. First of all, its absolute raw material self-sufficiency. She absolutely does not need to swim over the oceans to bring from there what she herself does not have. The entire periodic table is present in the Russian Federation in practically inexhaustible quantities. A country where it is more important to reliably defend its own vast territory, including its own raw materials bins, which have always been appropriated by many hunters. For this, aircraft carriers are in principle not needed at all.

But there is one more, so to speak newest reason for serious doubts about the feasibility of building huge floating airfields in the Russian Federation:

"Russian hypersonic aviation “Dagger” missile system is capable of making the American fleet defenseless, it is the main “killer of aircraft carriers” in the Pacific, writes The Diplomat magazine.
According to the publication, since 2018, the hypersonic Dagger missiles have become the main threat to US warships in the APR.
According to the expert, the Dagger is able to destroy with one blow even the largest enemy ship from a distance of 2 thousand kilometers.
The US military leadership has repeatedly expressed fears that Washington does not yet have the ability to intercept hypersonic missiles. The Diplomat article states that all of this has serious consequences not only for American territory, “accessible to Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles,” but also for the US Navy, “whose aircraft carriers and destroyers in the event of a conflict could be under water after being hit by the Daggers ".
Russian aircraft will be able to conduct American warships from a distance of 3,5 thousand kilometers from sea borders, the article says. ”

If we admit that hypersonic anti-ship weapons are really irresistible for the enemy, and there is no doubt about it, because their physical properties are just like that, it turns out that Russia, which has such a system of guaranteed destruction of enemy aircraft carriers, cannot but understand the whole measure of vulnerability and combat the unreliability of these ships. And this, you see, is a very bad incentive to invest fabulous money in their construction, For which, by the way, you can deploy additional tank the army. And for the surrender also double the Russian pensions.

As for America and China, it will be much more difficult for them to abandon their carrier-based ambitions. United States because they have already built everything. And these, in essence, archaic ships today form the basis of their military domination over all sorts of third-rate powers, of which basically the world consists.

And the Chinese, as already noted, first, in the simplest way, try to keep up with the United States. And secondly, it’s not for nothing that they gained the fame of the world copy-paste! Because they can basically only repeat what others have done for a long time. Before a full-scale understanding of the new military-strategic realities arising from the introduction of hypersonic weapons and, moreover, they did not reach the realization of these ideas in metal. And when they reach it, they may think about it: is it worth it in such a hurry to build ships that will even more quickly go to the seabed!

        As I understand it, in the opinion of local eKhSperds, the “Dagger" should be scrapped, because it still can’t do anything.
        Yes, and the Goal will not wait ...
        Of course it won't. How long will the Dagger need to cover a distance of 2000 km? According to my calculations, it turned out that it took about 10 minutes, what distance did the same “Harry Truman” manage to cover during this time at maximum speed? According to my calculations, again it turned out about 9 kilometers. That is, in your opinion, the "Dagger" is not able to adjust its course in 10 minutes of flight and will stupidly fly to where the aircraft carrier was spotted?
        The expert level of VO commentators is simply exorbitant, to listen to some IShperds, so we all need to disperse the Moscow Defense Forces, because they are not capable of anything. But here it’s just a storehouse of “smart” heads ... laughing
        By the way, for those wondering who and how will detect AUG, and what, have we already destroyed the space group? Or is it a priori undetectable stealth target for the AUG reconnaissance satellite? Nude ... fool

          I agree in you. Apparently, this "expert" is not aware of the fact that from a distance of 2,5 thousand kilometers, the Russian Navy recently successfully fired with more slow-moving "Caliber" at targets in Syria. And they say they shot very successfully, while the “Caliber” did not fly through Russian territory, the Russian signalmen on the ground did not sit there every kilometer and did not launch a rocket.
          It is amazing how these "experts" have not yet doubted the reality of the flight of rockets into space with the astronauts, because this is generally fantastic.

            Well, we don’t listen to such people. Yars and Poplars are inflatable, Cardboard reinforcements, the fleet is rusty, planes do not fly, the “Dagger” is only in the form of a model or a cartoon, and even it is not hypersonic, because it has the wrong engine, the Caliber is very small and they not as accurate as stated in the Ministry of Defense ...

            Well, the slow-moving Caliber is a bit from another opera. In Syria, targets were motionless with previously known coordinates.
            But! The dagger is most likely not to fly 2000 km, half of this range it will rest under the belly of a carrier (Mig-31), which is quite capable of receiving command from reconnaissance assets from the shore. And for the passage of the remaining 1000 km he will need no more than 10 minutes. This is at a speed of 5M. What is the speed in his real life - only Krishna knows. Yes, and is there a possibility of correcting the guidance point in flight - only the Buddha knows for sure, but I think there is.
            And to pay a visit to the largest and shimmering radiation "Christmas tree" - 100% the designers taught him! otherwise, what is the point of all this going on.

                A telecoded radio relay communication, albeit very directional, but not passive. Apparently, you have not heard a colleague about data exchange protocols.
                Well, in general ... at every combat post on the radio station - and the posts are there - Mama Do not Cry. And all this goes on the air!
                And this does not take into account the radiation-working electronics of the aircraft themselves, of which at least about a dozen on the deck are not even on a “market day”

            Yes, successfully, for an immovable target, which does not have any opposition. But the fact that they flew through foreign territory is nonsense, it is not possible to knock a cruise missile off course with electronic warfare equipment, only to reduce accuracy slightly in the final section (if the electronic warhead in the final section works).

          I think for a start you need to learn to count. In 1, the dagger does not fly along the prima, but along a ballistic trajectory, and reaches 10 M in the upper section of its flight (altitude 50..80 km). In dense layers of the atmosphere with such a speed, it can’t definitely fly. Did the photo see him? Where is the thermal protection? In 2 Why radio-transparent cap? It’s clear that when it reaches the target it’s flying not at that speed + for acceleration, it also takes time + climb. The homing head for the “Harry Truman” definitely works on the final site (judging by the radiolucent cap), which means that it is completely blinded by EW + methods due to its low speed it is probably possible to bring down (albeit difficult). In general, to call such a hypersonic missile is pure propaganda. With the same success, the FAU-2 can be considered hypersonic, and that more than 5M was accelerated, then hypersonic.

      Those. to determine the coordinates of the “AOG swimming up to our shores” even in passive mode at ranges up to 2000 km is not such a difficult task.
      And there are also over-the-horizon radar systems (Sunflower, Murmansk, Borisoglebsk?). These, at a distance of up to 3000, can determine the location of the order in real time with sufficient accuracy.

      5-10 years and the United States will have its own hypersonic weapons, and an aircraft carrier fleet. And with us, only hypersonic weapons. In addition to this, the Russian economy, judging by its "explosive" growth, will lag even further behind the economies of Western countries, India and China ... And although Putin recently promised for the sixth time that Russia will soon enter the top five largest economies peace, there are no prerequisites. To do this, there’s nothing to do - to reach the GDP growth rate, at least the same as our neighbor’s. With the government of Medvedev, Kudrin (in the plans) and Mutko, it is unlikely to achieve real explosive economic growth.

          Army - cannot overthrow the ruler. You confuse warm and soft. The army is almost a million People who act on orders, but they all obey the Order and WITHOUT an order — they are just people (not even armed). You can be a military man of almost any rank, but without an order to speak out against the current Head of State, this is Riot !! am negative Crime, violation of the rules of life of the Army. Only senior officers can make such a decision that yes - it will be a rebellion, and often such a decision "first a riot, then a revolution." Unfortunately, in 1991 there were no worthy officers in the Army; there were rags that did not take over. The command was not "drowned in blood" like Pinochet’s Yeltsin’s rebellion and did not save the USSR. negative All the tales that “the USSR itself fell apart” are lies who do not believe in reading “Tiananmen Square”. There, the "Chinese comrades" were not rags and shit, and they saved their country good , they write that there really were mountains of corpses, but don’t think that it was like Pinochet’s, they died a lot from these terrorists, which is similar to the order of the State Department then they tested the “collapse of the USSR”, so there were a lot of dead on both sides.

          The army took the oath of the USSR and did not defend the Soviet Union, did not throw Gorbachev away, supported the idiot of Yeltsin, for this our army was lowered for about 15 years. The army is to blame for the fact that in the 90s and 2000s, planes did not fly, ships did not sail, military bases and ports supplies abroad were closed, a bunch of planes, ships went under the knife. Our fools destroyed a huge number of planes, and the Americans mothballed at the bases.

          That is, do you think that the army should have carried out a coup in the best traditions of the Latin American military juntas? If this were so, then it is quite possible that there would be several such juntas, and the Union could fall apart not along the borders of the republics, but along the borders of military districts. It is not yet known which is better!
          And we didn’t cut the planes — we cut the missiles in accordance with the SALT agreements. Airplanes were cut in Ukraine with the warm support and funding of the United States, and there were not thousands, but a few. More precisely - 10 Tu-160 and 24 Tu-95. In 1999-2000, in accordance with an intergovernmental agreement, Ukraine transferred 8 Tu-160, 3 Tu-95MS and 581 X-55 cruise missiles to Russia in payment of Ukrainian debt for supplied natural gas. hi

              And about. Yeltsin appointed him prime minister. But a lot of people “fought” for the laurels of the one who brought Putin to Yeltsin — Chubais, Borodin, Pugachev, and Berezovsky, and even Yeltsin’s son-in-law Yumashev and his daughter Dyachenko were noted. Well, about the role of Voloshin, Abramovich and Aven should not be forgotten.
              In short, as with the famous log of Lenin at a cleanup in the Kremlin, which, judging by the memoirs, was carried by several hundred people, almost the whole country led Putin to power. Some transferred him with a promotion to work in Moscow. Others introduced the Kremlin party. Still others - with Berezovsky. Fourth - with Voloshin and Yumashev, fifth - with Yeltsin. In general, everyone worked hard and made the Prime Minister of the KGB lieutenant colonel! One thing is clear - those who hoped that Putin would be an obedient tool - clearly miscalculated, and were able to verify this from their own experience. In addition, most likely, the Office, that is, the FSB, was implicitly behind Putin, and all these 90s he was an employee of the current reserve. So specific surnames of specific people mean little here. hi

                  And where, let me ask you, is Berezovsky the same? Pugachev? These were generally kicked out of the country! What about Voloshin? He is not in power, although younger than Putin. True, he got a good job, but not by the standards of the late 90s - the beginning of the zero - nothing at all. Like Yumashev. Borodin is a bit old by age - 74. But now, too, no one has a lot of money. And these in a clip? Let me disagree with you - they were taken out of the cage, but, except for the first two, they are not touched: they just forgot for a while. Who hasn't mentioned yet? Of those who are in the cage, perhaps only Chubais can be remembered. This one is really unsinkable. Also - Kiriyenko, whom Nemtsov brought, and even made Prime Minister in due time.

            Yes, if you wish, you can hammer a nail with a microscope and strangle the shoe with a cord, but the initial role of the weapon is determined by its performance characteristics. An aircraft carrier is a projection of power anywhere in the world, far from its shores. Its initial role is as follows, and when defending its shore, it is almost useless, because more efficient aviation operates at its borders.

Anti-tank missiles, air defense systems, coastal missile systems with anti-ship missiles are uniquely defensive weapons. Aircraft carriers, strategic nuclear forces - definitely offensive.

            Do not distort - when breaking through the channel, the Egyptians used Tu-16 attacks, then heaps of fighter-bombers, then a massive artillery strike, and then forcing the channel. To reflect the expected Israeli counterattack the Egyptians equipped the first wave of their advancing troops with an unprecedented number of portable anti-tank mounts: RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launchers and the more advanced Malyut anti-tank missiles, which later proved to be good in repelling Israeli tank counterattacks. Every third Egyptian soldier carried one of the anti-tank weapons. So anti-tank weapons were used not as a means of attack, but as a means of defense.

      Just like a thesis from the time of the CPSU Central Committee! But on one point, one can agree that aircraft carriers are outliving their age, as the "dreadnought battleships" have outlived. Examples of World War II in the Pacific Theater showed weak armor and large caliber in front of aircraft. So now, AUG becomes weak over time before the IOS at hypersonic speed.

This was also understood in the USSR by building heavy aircraft carriers such as Kiev, Minsk. Would Russia own an aircraft carrier in Syria prevented Russia?

        Here is the "fattening" .. laughing
        That is, in our conditions it is better to have more nuclear submarines and diesel-electric submarines of various purposes. As for the AUG, then for every Amerzos AUG we have put into service the MIG-31 with the "Dagger".
        Another thing is that we need to re-equip corvettes and diesel-electric submarines to counteract Arly Burke-type EMs, which are really too many.

        But will the Dagger balance everything? Judging by the published information, this is an airborne variant of the Iskander missile. And there the missile is by no means cruise, and it’s not painful to control ballistic and even pseudo-ballistic in flight. At a cruising speed of 20 knots (37 km / h) in 1 minute, the aircraft carrier passes more than 600 m. That is, during the flight of the rocket (and this is more than a minute), the aircraft carrier can go quite far. That is why no one was impressed by the Chinese ballistic anti-ship systems, although this is clearly a hypersonic weapon - getting out of them into an aircraft carrier is an extremely difficult task.
        Of course, at the “Dagger”, in addition to the missile stage, it is possible to make the head stage in the form of an ordinary anti-ship missile system with the corresponding “brains” and means of target detection, but at the same time it is unlikely to be just a hypersonic weapon. And with a decrease in speed when approaching, such a rocket also becomes vulnerable. hi

            No. Since the range of any air defense systems is limited by the radio horizon (except for the case of sophisticated missiles with ARLGSN, which still need an external control system to correct the trajectory). That is, the same S-300F and S-400 at extremely low altitudes operate at a maximum of 35-45 km.
            Actually, this is precisely why the Navy has been asking for normal AB for half a century already - in order to stretch the air defense defeat zone beyond the horizon of ship systems and fight not with the consequences (RCC). and with the reasons (their carriers - IBA).

We’ll even “forget” about torn cables and two sunken planes - he didn’t do anything there. Well, the worst thing, but not mentioned in the article, is if Aviks are set “near” the coast, less than 100 km (And this is likely to be closer fly), then now you can arrange a raid of “cheap” UAVs on it and at least 82 mm mine good , something like what was on Khmeimi. Yes, now only a couple of countries can do this, because here you need firstly your own satellite intelligence, and secondly, satellite positioning. The Americans have already done this against us, then soon the Chinese (and we) will be able to do this. So AUG is already far from being such a safe platform.

    For defense? Quite possible. But do not forget that our opponent will not sit still.

    My personal opinion is that an aircraft carrier is an aggressor’s weapon. It is not needed for countries with a defensive strategy, it is needed for those who attack. Russia does not need. China needs to demonstrate, China wants to become an advanced military power, the question is how far it will go in Soviet developments, they are still becoming obsolete ...

    You repeat the words of the unforgettable Nikita Sergeevich. He also said that aircraft carriers are weapons of aggression, but he also wanted to have a nuclear missile fleet. And what would cover this fleet in distant battles he was not interested in. And then, just as bashfully, we called our aircraft carrier projects “aircraft cruisers”, just not to pronounce the word “aircraft carrier”
    An aircraft carrier needs, regardless of strategy. Needed exclusively to create fleet stability. No, of course, if we do not pretend that Russia is a world power, and we agree to the role of a third-rate one, then the aircraft carrier is really not only unnecessary, but harmful. But if we position ourselves as one of the main players in the world arena, we will need a tool.
    You write that the carrier is needed for those who attack? Brazil and Argentina attack someone, and Italy or Thailand?
    To demonstrate, you need one aircraft carrier, as we have now. But China is not going to stop on the second built. And India does not stop at the redone "Gorshkov"

    Yuri, it’s hard to suspect you of any liberalistic addictions. And your previous materials showed a well-balanced, patriotic position. But the current opus somehow does not fit into the already established framework! Firstly, about the Dagger. This story is very reminiscent of the confrontation between ATGMs and tanks. Once, the ATGMs that appeared appeared to put an end to the further development of tanks, and, in general, sent them to the dustbin of history, but! Time goes by, tanks change, ATGMs too, but none of them have ever gone to the landfill! Moreover, in Syria, tanks have once again proved their relevance (well, who doubted this at all? What kind of enemy!). So, Kenzhik is certainly a super-duper, but he gives us an advantage only for a while! But are we not going to fight with mattresses today? And tomorrow, quite possibly, the balance will be restored. This has happened more than once or twice in our history! And again we will return to the aircraft carrier theme, begin to procrastinate it, twirl, twist? And time is running out! And this has already happened in our history more than once or twice! Do we have a street that consists of a single rake? As soon as it does not fit in some heads, that aircraft carriers are a type of weapon ?! The same as: tanks, guns, planes, cruisers, submarines, etc.! Well, let's stick thousands of tanks because of the addiction of some idiot, but we won’t pay attention to the guns! Or vice versa! The consequences are obvious!
    I already got tired in my comments (given that I’m typing them on my smartphone on my knee!) To give arguments in favor of aircraft carriers. In the ship-PKR confrontation, for a long time ago, the ship’s dimensions did not matter at all! At least five football fields, at least the size of the shell! It will be found and destroyed if there is no greeting from Cortik, Fort, Carapace, etc. Therefore, the argument about the dimension of the ship can already be sent to the scrap! It remains to consider only its effectiveness. And here the advantages of aircraft carriers are many times greater than that of any other type of ship! Whoever is not lazy, let him count himself! And I will insist that the path of the universal ship, and not the floating airfield, which was chosen back in the USSR, is the most correct and promising! This is the second!
    And the third, it's like in the story with the Terminator! First, take it into service, and then the strengths and weaknesses will be revealed (I generally think that he didn’t get a complete set of weapons! It seems that they took the rest from the warehouse!).
    And last, study world history! Only marine superpowers can dictate their will on the world stage! Once upon a time, even the tiny Portugal was a figure on the world stage! It is now remembered about her only if it comes to football!

        Because the Americans never ran into a wunderwaffe. And they didn’t shout: “We have the F-15, it will tear everyone, the rest of the aircraft go to the dustbin of history !!!” They created a good fighter - they continued to develop lighter cars, Patriots modified, in general, they never put all the eggs in one basket.
        In the USSR, the development was wave-like - we’ll come up with something that will be stronger than the state’s - they come up with something that will smooth the situation or vice versa, first they, and then we, but on the whole kept in parity.
        Therefore, on the Dagger (which, incidentally, is not invulnerable today, but a formidable weapon) they will also find this very one ... with a screw.

But there is no base for development or construction capacity. This must be created and more than one year. This is money that could go to 22386, 22350, 22160, etc., to the fleet, which urgently needs to be updated.

    Who will find him and how

    All hope for satellite reconnaissance and guidance. You can’t hide such a “megatzel” in camouflage nets.

    A satellite can detect, of course, such a target. But taking into account our satellite constellation, this region, where it is detected by the AUG, the satellite will be able to watch a couple of times a day. Well, he spotted, for example, AUG 4 thousand kilometers from our coast. He transferred the data to the ground and, accordingly, to the Dagger carrier, in order to get to the place where he could launch the MiG would need several hours. Where will the AUG go in this time? Satellite detection is certainly good, but it will not give the desired target designation ...

    Quote: Alexey Sommer
    But when a country does not have the ability to create as many aircraft carriers as a partner, it creates daggers. And the "dagger balances it all.

    We really are not able to create the same number of aircraft carriers as in the United States, even in the long term. But this is not necessary. But the fact that the “dagger" balances all this is, for the most part, a fairy tale ...

    But the irresistibility of the “Dagger" is a reality. How are such rockets dung? Well, who will tell you top secret data? There are satellites, there are long-range reconnaissance aircraft ... Systems

    It’s not worth explaining everything only with secrecy. The question is asked correctly. Long-range reconnaissance - look at how many such aircraft Russia has in total. The compelling “Dagger” is so far exclusively virtual. We start talking from all the media about a little bit of success, but we are silent about the fact that this product in real life got into something. And at the declared range.

    I must say that contrary to advertising, the "Dagger" is not a hypersonic aircraft, because He develops 10M in near space. ICBM warheads also develop high speeds in near space, and no one considers them hypersonic.

This does not mean that the “Dagger" is bad and it is easy to defend against it. But what is not, is not.
    Nothing is said about the dagger guidance system in open sources, at least I don’t know any details about this. Indirectly, this system can be judged by the recent speech of the doctor of military sciences, captain of the first rank Konstantin Sivkov, who believes that about 10 “Daggers” will be required for a reliable defeat of an aircraft carrier, of which maybe three will hit the target.

And did she fly before in the atmosphere (where hypersonic aircraft fly, the density of the atmosphere is ~ 1/1000 of the ground). or flew in space, where the vacuum is practically not important for the SAM system, which should intercept it, and for the missile system, which should have time to reach the calculated meeting point.

    At the same time I remembered an old joke. The Soviet Navy is mainly suitable for destroying the US Navy.
    That’s the “dagger” missile — which is suitable for destroying an aircraft carrier in a direct (we emphasize just direct) military clash with the United States. But an aircraft carrier can still do a lot of things if there is no such collision. An aircraft carrier is a means of projecting force in Syrian-type conflicts and preserving the US military hegeomony. That is, a broad-based tool. And the "Dagger" is a highly specialized weapon, "I can plow - I can not plow."
    It’s good that we have it. And they don’t have it yet. But when they will have it, and at the same time the possibility of counteraction. That carrier formations we do not appear. Let's not get into euphoria.

Can we guarantee that the states lying between them and us will let our aircraft pass through their airspace and give permission to use their airfields as jump airfields? Not sure. The most recent example is Iran. Twice he gave a shot to the Kyrgyz Republic from the Caspian, once allowed to use his air base for refueling. And that’s all ... Now we are forced to drive the same “Buyans-M” into the Mediterranean Sea and keep there submarines with 4-6 Caliber missiles. From the Caspian, it would be easier. He shot back, went into the base, replenished the ammunition and again to the position.
    The airbase in Syria is limited in capacity. What, it would be superfluous to have in the Mediterranean aircraft carrier in fifty attack aircraft ???? And it is at hand. And if you have to "show" your fist somewhere else, what then

    We stupidly have no one to fight with the AUGs, either these countries under the United States, or you can do it by orders of magnitude less, this is China's full of tasks for them, even based on geography, and we must first master everything we need at home ...

    If there was a tool, there would be someone to fight with. In addition, you should not think that we are demanding an aircraft carrier tomorrow and in an amount equal to American. But counting on the same Dagger complex ALREADY multiplied all American AUGs by zero - frankly, it's stupid. "Dagger" is still something so virtual, a thing in itself

    Quote: Vol4ara
    That is, according to external target designation, for example, from airplanes, can’t air defense work?

    They can. But the range of AWACS aircraft is not unlimited

    So can increase satellite constellation? Increasing the number and quality of intelligence?

    This is easier said than done. Even in the days of the Union, when we launched the Cosmos once a week, we did not have full coverage of the surface of the globe. Moreover, when it came to radar reconnaissance satellites - there we could look at a specific area for about 1 / 3-1 / 4 days.
    In order to have 100% coverage, you need to have such a number of satellites that even such a rich country as the United States is not capable of. In addition, the same radar satellites have a capture width of about 150-200 km. When the next satellite comes up (even if they inspect it three times a day), the AOG will go so far that it might just not fall into the field of view

    Quote: max702
    For the price it will be clearly cheaper than 5-6AUG (less makes no sense) ..

    Not quite correct comparison. The satellite constellation should be regularly replenished, which means new satellites, plus the cost of output, plus the ground infrastructure for this satellite constellation. Of course, less than 5-6 AUG, but quite a lot

    Quote: max702
    And do not forget that the areas from which the ACG may threaten our country have long been calculated and mapped, respectively, taken under control ...

    What is taken under control? The number of long-range reconnaissance aircraft has been reduced many times. And if the same AUG approaches our territory from the ocean, try to find out at which point it will approach the border with a total length of a couple of thousand kilometers. The search for AUG by aviation has always been a very difficult task ... For the scout had to be taken to a specific point, but where it is - HZ. They say that the hunter has one way, the game (the beast) that the hunter hunts has hundreds.

    Quote: max702
    The danger is not the AUG, but the bases in the circle of our country, and this ring is compressed at an accelerated pace,.

    Just at AUG there is a factor of spatial uncertainty. Ground bases are known and more controlled

    a dagger and other hypersonic weapons are primarily the prospect of zeroing the US Navy around the world.

    The prospect of zeroing the American fleet is still zero. What is it and how effective is this weapon so far no one can say. Moreover, they will find countermeasures quickly enough. And so far we have only experienced combat duty, in which all the jambs are identified and will be revealed. What will be the rocket after the completion of this stage no one knows. Already, the “Dagger" looks different from the one that was shown to us on March 1. There were no starts to the maximum range yet. as there was no shooting at target ships. It is not known how target designation will be carried out for this complex, because the range of the radar on the aircraft itself is limited, and who will give such target designation at a distance of 2000-2500 km is unknown. How unknown are such details, what possibilities will the homing system have when capturing a target when the “Dagger” loses its speed to supersonic. It is not known how target designation will be carried out at hypersonic speeds. And many more, many questions. Up to the size of the lateral maneuver ...

    if we are to face the truth, the United States is not afraid to wipe off the face of the earth more than once.

    Well, the US is not Kim with his dozen charges. For us, he will work just as well. And our country will also lie in radioactive ruins ....

    Quote: max702
    but let’s appear at the same (suddenly) Yemen coastal hypersonic anti-ship missile or at the same Kim or Iran, and why ?.

    But nothing. These countries have no carriers from the word at all, and the coastal launcher will do little if there is no the same target designation. Moreover, unlike Russia, the United States all these countries simply trample, like a mammoth. Not once after the Gulf War against Iraq did the Americans use the entire arsenal of countermeasures. That is, within a radius of a couple of hundred kilometers, ground-based radars will allow the same Yemenis, Iranians, North Koreans to detect the AUG, but do not consider the Americans as stupid as M. Zadornov said. And they don’t have the means to detect these targets at long range, or if there are any, they will be suppressed in the first place.

    Quote: max702
    What then to do with the expensive US fleet and comrades? While this is not (maybe) but will be! .

    The question is posed incorrectly. What the US fleet with partners will do with these countries in the event of a conflict

    And by the way, if the “Dagger” was adapted for the MIG-31, then why not hang it on the MIG-25 of which there are still quite a few. Replace avionics and go ..

    According to open data for 2018, 0,00 MIG-25 aircraft were in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces. The last 10 MIG-25RB aircraft were decommissioned back in 2014

    Well, the slow-moving Caliber is a bit from another opera. In Syria, targets were motionless with previously known coordinates.
    But! The dagger is most likely not to fly 2000 km, half of this range it will rest under the belly of a carrier (Mig-31), which is quite capable of receiving command from reconnaissance assets from the shore. And for the passage of the remaining 1000 km he will need no more than 10 minutes. This is at a speed of 5M. What is the speed in his real life - only Krishna knows. Yes, and is there a possibility of correcting the guidance point in flight - only the Buddha knows for sure, but I think there is.
    And to pay a visit to the largest and shimmering radiation "Christmas tree" - 100% the designers taught him! otherwise, what is the point of all this going on.

    The point is to start a direct one - to receive a dough, as having done a prodigy for wunderwafl only to upgrade a rocket from Iskander.

    Or can someone explain to me why the "Dagger" is called hypersonic? Judging by the lack of thermal protection and a radio-transparent cap, he develops the declared 10 M only at high altitude (judging by the color of the sky in the video, it is clearly more than 20 km, and most likely 50..80 km). With the same success, the FAU-2 can be called hypersonic, it also gave more than 5M at an altitude of 80 km.

    - ?? I repeat the sentence: we learn materiel. Aegis is a universal complex, it has ALL types of missiles, operating from a height close to zero - to the near space. Of course, they differ in the guidance system at the final stage.
    THAAD had several quite successful, as they called them "low-atmospheric" interceptions, - as I understand it, this is in the lower stratosphere, 11+ km. Put on the same THAAD missile launcher another GOS, for example, an active millimeter-wave RSSG (which is more than easy and simple) - and the problem of the altitude range is solved, it will be from zero to 100 km. Instead of kinetic, you can put warheads like ERINT missiles, for example, something between a kinetic and a fragmentation ...

    According to the expert, the Dagger is able to destroy with one blow even the largest enemy ship from a distance of 2 thousand kilometers.

    Only question. Who and how will he be found at such a distance, and who will direct the "Dagger"?

    Well, yes, he’s “blind.” In essence, LDCs, huh? Is it true that there is a network analogue of GLONASS. Yes, and in fact, our shells have the ability to direct themselves by satellite or by their radio emission. Or by radio emission from, for example, a plane-gunner. so. just by the way?

    The Russian hypersonic anti-ship weapon of the new generation can be a decisive argument in favor of the refusal of the Russian Federation from its own aircraft carrier fleet.

    Firstly, this is an excuse for rogues, secondly, I don’t see the logic in this phrase, thirdly, aviation from aircraft carriers with daggers can control any part of the world's oceans, and MiG-31 only the northern and Far Eastern borders of Russia, well, Fourth, Russia does not have the technology, experience and ability to build large surface ships and will not have such logic.

    The third and most important question: why then Russia does not build aircraft carriers? Moreover, the experience of the same China, which rushed in pursuit of the United States in this field, seems to speak in favor of the undoubted need for such ships as part of the Russian fleet.

    The author, well, to hell with us, these budget eaters without a cause to the ice-free oceans. This is necessary - one to maintain global dominance, the other - to provide access to the ocean open spaces to protect trade routes. Why do we need this, we are a mainland country, for us ocean domination is an unnecessary and burdensome burden. Even the Union did not pull carrier groups. And our techies have something to do for the defense of the country, without expensive crazy projects.
