In the USA, they proposed to arm Ukraine with "Harpoons"

Former US Ambassador John Herbst was marked by another anti-Russian proposal. The man collecting data for the so-called sanctions lists, said that the US authorities would have to think about providing Ukraine with anti-ship missiles.

According to John Herbst, such missiles "will help Ukraine to resist Russian aggression at sea."

Herbst noted that we are talking primarily about the harpoon missiles.

Former American diplomat, who moved from diplomacy to obvious aggressive rhetoric (although this is the norm for many American diplomats):

We have enough missiles "Harpoon". These are 30-year-old rockets. This is what we could provide (Ukraine). And maybe something more modern.

According to the former US ambassador, Washington will make an appropriate decision within 2-3 months. Herbst also noted that the list of anti-Russian sanctions should be expanded. According to him, "sanctions should be imposed against the largest Russian bank." The former ambassador also announces a ban on entry for Russian ships to the ports of the United States and the European Union.

In the European Union, this statement of Herbst did not comment.

For your information:
The Harpocket rocket was developed in 70 by MacDonnell-Douglas. Now produced by Boeing. The maximum target range for a cruise anti-ship missile is 220 km. In particular, the Mk-140 and Mk-141 are used as launchers. "Harpoons" are in service with fleets of many countries, including Egypt, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Poland, India, Israel, Japan and others. The average cost of a rocket (not the most modernized version) is estimated at 600-700 thousand dollars.

The harpoon is the anti-ship missile system, the warhead has an AGSN there, that is, it is not intended to destroy ground targets, and there is no missile defense system either.

they would have steamed them for a long time - yes, dill have a dumb penny ... and just keeping such a pelvis (not to mention the fact that going out to sea in it) is expensive! such a colossus, even just stupidly standing in the port - eating money like a vacuum cleaner ... and for beggars mired in debt this is an overwhelming burden ... but you also need the infrastructure - basing, repair and maintenance centers, personnel need to be prepared somewhere .. .Count how much dough you need to just go out to sea and swim in view of the coast;)
so even if they just give (for nothing) - and then ballast, and t. To. there is no money, then all the arguments about "American frigates" are nothing more than a form of military-political masturbation ....

What is the vodka on it? No fi ha is not clear. So that once again not to disturb even their military experts, they showed the launch of s125 missiles on ships. So that’s it. The potential after the collapse of the union, they are almost all about shit. Almost the entire south kb was dead (it almost all worked for Russia), the Kharkov tank holds on, but produces nothing new, only the old stuff is being modernized.

That is, it does not matter to the real decisions of the US leadership, therefore it is not correct to title the opinion of the ex-ambassador as the opinion of the political leadership, but in Ukraine it is already being presented as another global change under the motto "the whole world is with us"! And what is interesting, there is no way to think on New Year's days, how to preserve the world even small American bipods, who once hung out in the corridors of the State Department, are still drowned for the war - and then they are surprised that more than half of the world considers America to be a product of the devil!

The final contract was signed not for $ 57000, but for $ 51000. And in it two components of the price are spelled out in black and white: the cost of the car in UK 2 + "transport and clearance" 38000.
Moreover, the text of the contract "indicates that the final consumer of this equipment is the Ministry of Defense and the National Guard."
The contract itself was signed through the STATE enterprise "Ukrinmash", which apparently has all the necessary licenses.

[Alexander not great]

for comparison, 300 armored KRAZ, SAXON was bought for 000, it’s not expensive, it’s decommissioned equipment, the purchase was formalized as military technical assistance, I bought a state-owned enterprise, they helped and went to choose with the participation of the same volunteers, this is what I a company that sells decommissioned property, anyone can buy it, take it as an alternative to the same BTR-50, not more.

[tractor driver]

All junk vna Usrainu peg off

"sell hoKHLAM" - you have revealed to me a new meaning of this phrase

[donavi49]

What junk is the main RCC of the US Navy and 30 countries of the world.

[EXPrompt]

But is it a subsonic rocket of the 1980s?
And in our times, a modest range of launch on targets.
And exactly the same chance of hitting the target.

[donavi49]

X-35 - similarly.

The range is sufficient - for its speed (it’s no longer in fuel, but it rests against time, in 20 minutes the targets can go in any direction and there will be a fail at the search stage for the GOS). This is actually the boundary for all RCCs of this type - that is, with the marching subsonic section of 150-250km range.

Especially in the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Azov - where the range is redundant, and if there is real use, then either at 20-40km or 50-70.

The chances of hitting the target are high. Due to the low flight profile and low visibility. But the main feature is mass. Each hornet from the strike squadron takes 4 Harpoon. Total - the goals will have to be beaten off by the Harpoon Roy, which simply will lead to the fact that more than possible goals can be brought down in the allotted time = air defense breakthrough and target defeat. For this topic (Ukraine) it will be unavailable yes. But again, in a real clash, what thread of Albatross or Lightning strengthens a pair of border guard - against the insane Taras who shot even a light packet (2x2) of Harpunov - nothing good for Albatross / Lightning and border guard . 3 Admirals to pull Mad Taras on every exit?

[EXPrompt]

You will notice that in the Crimea there are already 4 divisions with 400 dug up, apart from various small things, the area is heavily covered by air defense. I think today in the world, the air defense zone of Crimea is one of the three in terms of the power of grouping. Plus ground-based RCC systems.
Just like that, even a swarm of Garpunov will not be shot.

[donavi49]

As for C-400 and other things - the curvature of the earth, do not forget. Well, I mean, if there is an action game right on the shore, then yes. But if not, then cross off ground systems, because they will not reach and will not see low-flying targets.

RCC land-based - so crazy Taras and without them is not a tenant. Well, rather, he will be shouting there MEYDAY! DO NOT SHOOT! I AM IN INTERNATIONAL WATER! 111

I just pointed out that the Harpoons, in addition to their domestic political and overworked character, will allow for a more arrogant provocation. Again, in the case of this, the FSB watchmen and the strengthening Albatross / Lightning, and even Buyan, will not be at all comfortable.

[EXPrompt]

I agree the land is not flat)))
For this, smart people invented awaxes.
Buyan does not really have his own air defense, this is a ship of the coastal zone, with the hope of a good cover for ground defense, what should he do near Odessa in a single-night raid?
Do not send him there. So, theoretically, they will have to use their harpoons either near the Crimea or the Sea of ​​Azov. Both there and there Russian Air Defense will give them little chance.
Then, if you saw the Yalta region, let's say the radars in the mountains do not stand much higher than the sea. Which slightly changes their capabilities overseas.

[Ham]

even a nuclear bomb will not save dill ...

[KCA]

Will the MK-140 or MK-141 fit on a rubber boat? And the radar and other body kit for anti-ship missiles? Or will they put barges on tow barges and haul barges?

[donavi49]

MK-141 - these are inclined farms. You can cook them yourself or buy them too. Radar - find. There is a problem with the platforms. Where to put them? From the military ones - Sagaidachny, Priluki, you can still try to put on the KFOR. The rest is doubtful.
Well, that is, from which Balta - it is possible to make a missile anti-ship cruiser with 16 / 32 Harpoons. Just the point? There is no provision for target designation (only civilian navigation radars) - everything needs to be rebuilt and retrofitted. Such a missile cruiser will be the goal of No. 1 - and it has neither driving performance nor weapons (in the base there is none, now they can put a couple of DShKs on mobilization), no survivability (it's a Polish civilian ship).

[Avior]

in Pryluky will be instead of the P-15.
and they don’t need any special radar.

it’s probably very convenient- what to compose for the opponent and explain to him what he was wrong

[rocket757]

So pointed out that just a rocket is not all that is needed to use it. Then there was no need to fantasize.

[Avior]

they would have indicated it themselves, since they took

The operator can launch the Harpoon missile by bearing and range, or only by bearing to the target (if the range is unknown). In the first case, the missile seeker is turned on at the time designated by the operator before launch, in the immediate vicinity of the target, which makes it possible to reduce the probability of detecting anti-ship missiles and the time for possible jamming.In this case, a small, medium or large scanning sector of the radar can be used to search for a target. GOS, The first is used when firing at a group of targets at short range, but in this case, as the distance increases, the effectiveness of the GOS decreases. When shooting at maximum range, a large scanning sector is used. To increase the effectiveness of shooting when searching for a target, several scanning modes can be used, starting with a small sector. If the target is not detected, then a transition is made to a larger scanning sector, and so the seeker works until the moment when the target is detected and locked. The seeker does not have selective properties, so the anti-ship missile strikes the first captured target.

[Avior]

I am surprised that the Americans still have not done this, to be honest.
Harpoons are quite autonomous and fit into any ship.
These anti-ship missiles, especially those of the older issues, are not super modern, but are robust enough and quite suitable for combat within the radar range.
and more for the conditions of the Black Sea and is not required

[rocket757]

Even for some kind of puddle ships are needed ...... Yes, another moment. Any weapon requires normal maintenance, and for the old one, all this is required three times as much! Otherwise, it becomes dangerous for the owner, but not ensuring that what is required.

[Moskovit]

As soon as the Americans deliver the harpoons to Ukraine, in the mines of Donbass a Ball or even a Bastion will be excavated.
The former ambassador. He can be fantasized.

[dgonni]

And what's the point in the Ball or the Bastion on the Sea of ​​Azov? Shoot the boats? So, first of all, because of their small size, they simply will not be captured by the GOS. And if on the Black Sea then in the Crimea they are!

With the delivery of anti-ship missiles to Ukraine, nothing can stop the Russian Federation from selling similar missiles to Iranians, Koreans, Yemenis (even bald bald), and most importantly, the Russian Federation with a smile on its face can calmly withdraw from the Wassennar agreement, here the Americans will be happy, especially Western countries dragged into its time the USSR in it ....

I agree, advanced. And "Harpoon" is "missiles with technology 30 years ago."

Maybe the rocket itself is 30 years old (that is, on the verge of decommissioning), and the technologies embedded in these missiles are already 50 years old

You will notice that in the Crimea there are already 4 divisions with 400 dug up, apart from various small things, the area is heavily covered by air defense. I think today in the world, the air defense zone of Crimea is one of the three in terms of the power of grouping. Plus ground-based RCC systems.
Just like that, even a swarm of Garpunov will not be shot.

Crimean air defense is certainly enough to counter the so-called aviation of Ukraine. And, of course, there can be no blow to the fleet’s infrastructure from a word at all. But to start a provocation, to strike at civilian targets on the Crimean coast - this is quite real. Especially when you consider that the length of the coastline of Crimea is more than 1200 km. And onshore civilian facilities on the shore are more than enough. The Ukrainian Navy may well carry out such a provocation. Purely technical

Quote: Moskovit

As soon as the Americans deliver the harpoons to Ukraine, in the mines of Donbass a Ball or even a Bastion will be excavated.

Well written. Well, dig out, and then what? Does LDNR have the opportunity to hit Ukrainian ships at least in the Sea of ​​Azov off the coast of Crimea? Not to mention the Black Sea.

Quote: APASUS

In my opinion, it’s time to give a warning to the hegemon. About the possible appearance of missiles of this type from Iran or from Korea, but there are a lot of things that can be put where

You probably spent the last few years in a lethargic dream? DPRK a couple of years ago at the parade showed a self-propelled gun with 4 TPKs for missiles of the X-35 / Harpoon type. Iran has such a wide range of RCC that it is not clear why so many types. And you are talking about some kind of warning ...
Well, be warned, our Foreign Ministry will express its concern. So, what is next? The delivery of such missiles does not violate the restrictions under the same MTCR. And the same USA can declare yes "deliver wherever you want". The question is, who will buy such anti-ship missiles from us? What, there are many countries buying weapons from us, especially such?

and why then, Mexicans Caliber to throw a little?! ..

And we have sold a lot of weapons to Mexicans over the past half century ???

Why is this mud still alive? As soon as he said this, "Caliber" was to be launched immediately at its location

The ex-ambassador also announces a ban on calling for Russian ships in the ports of the United States and the European Union.

Our Foreign Ministry must clearly state that in the event of such a blockade, the Russian Federation will declare a nuclear war to the European Union. They will immediately turn around and back down

Well, you are just a monster, a titan of foreign policy. Give you free rein and understand that we would not be alive for a long time, because for everyone you are ready to start a nuclear war. Still not knowing how the EU will react to this, this is your proposal. Drew attention to one in your posts. Whatever happens, whatever problem arises - you have one recipe. Gauges, Iskanders, nuclear weapons for everyone who even speaks a word against us.

Quote: Berg Berg

If the United States is so smart in Ukraine, then Russia will have to equip Venezuela with the Iskanders and, at their request, build the Naval Base of Russia! And there you look and Nicaragua will ask for weapons!

You have to understand that for all this, for "gifts" to Venezuela of "Iskander", which they need like a 5-wheel cart, for the construction of a Russian naval base, are you ready to pay your hard-earned several tens of billions of dollars? For the base there is needed for our Navy, like the same cart 5 wheel

Let the Harpoons be delivered as soon as possible. Firstly, it will be possible to buy at a cheap price from Ukrainian ensigns. Secondly, after the very first practical application, this can bring the annexation of the western territories closer to Russia.

[Prisoner]

They should be equipped with brains, because there are no pins of this kind. And so at least arm with tridents, there will be no sense.

[Kot28]

Against the avant-garde, all these toys are useless

[Berkut24]

We are bent to deprive Ukrainians of all beaches and ports ...

[Alexander X]

They will give a tranche and their harpoons will boil it. Ukrainians do not smell money. Immediately rockets will come ... Fight the Slavs among themselves ... That's because these scum stripes ... Everywhere they plant blood and death ...

[tolmachiev51]

This is the whole of America, under the guise of helping "sell" trash to dill, and necessarily for money and at full cost. and what they will do with them, nobody cares.

[Lieutenant Senior]

Good to swear. Not in the State Duma.

[Lieutenant Senior]

Will the latest kayak ships be equipped?))
Or "Fragile Chosen"?))

better with baseball bats ... they won’t pull the rest ... the exploitation of the identity is worth the money ... usually Amerov’s partners do not cover operating expenses ... but the treasury is dumb ...

The former are always used as material for testing public opinion, like Levada or VTsIOM

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

What's the difference? They, that "Harpoon", that double-barreled gun .... one devil - "cauldron"! At least on the sea, even on land!

[LeonidL]

God toby, that mani is no good ...

[Egor53]

The current Ukrainian authorities are doing everything in the most unreasonable way. The Harpoons will give them, so they will shoot them ... on the NATO ship.

[engineer74]

Are we, by any chance, ready to give up “Topol” to the LDPR? Otherwise, they are still being written off... And the LDPR did not sign a single agreement on “non-proliferation and non-deployment”, for completely objective reasons...

[riwas]

Maybe they will also offer Tomahawks in a ground version.

[1c-inform-city]

Guys, what are we discussing? I remember there is already a harpoon at Sagaidachny, but I don’t remember any launches. The cost of the rocket alone at $600000 does not imply any launches, they will hang themselves from greed. But the Americans will not give such things for free. In addition, the range of applications involves not only missiles, these are not hail shells. Find out the cost of the Uran complex. By the way, the cost of the x35 rocket and Harpoon are comparable, for 2010 15000000 rubles.
