A pair of Russian strategists Tu-160 landed at an airfield in South Africa

101
A pair of Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-160 landed at the Waterclof South African airport in the suburbs of the capital of the Republic of South Africa, Pretoria. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.





As stated in the Russian military department, Russian strategists spent more than 13 hours in the air, breaking over 11 thousand kilometers during this time. The flight took place in the waters of the Caspian and Arabian seas, as well as the Indian Ocean with one refueling in the air. At the last stage of the flight, an honorary escort to Russian strategists was made by the South African Air Force fighter Saab JAS 39

Long-range flight aviation passed over the waters of the Caspian and Arabian seas, as well as the Indian Ocean with one refueling in the air

- it is spoken in the message of the Ministry of Defense.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian strategists of the Tu-160, as well as the Il-62 and An-124 Ruslan military transport aircraft that are part of the air group, will visit South Africa at the invitation of the South African republic. The purpose of the visit of Russian aviation is the development of bilateral military cooperation and the development of interaction between the Russian Aerospace Forces and the South African Air Force.

Note that such an international visit of Russian aviation is not the first. Earlier, a pair of Tu-160, accompanied by the same Il-62 and An-124, visited Venezuela, where Russian strategists worked out several training tasks together with the crews of the Venezuelan Air Force.

Washington previously stated that Russia is rapidly expanding its influence in Africa, using various methods for this, ranging from the sale of military equipment and weapons and ending with the construction of mining enterprises and nuclear energy.

                How would you plan to recover money from Iraq destroyed by the Americans? Iraq is now buying oil from Iran, the permit is regularly renewed by the US State Department / Treasury. Volumes are not very large, perhaps logistics costs - but there is import.

                If this is just a crew training and demonstration to the world of our capabilities, then this is a necessary thing. And if someone builds long-term plans there, then we would first have to settle things with the closest neighbors, and only then, to tackle the remote corners of the planet.

            hi Let's start with the source:
            At the Russia-Africa International Economic Forum in Sochi, Vladimir Putin presented the guests of the event with an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
            Speaking to the heads of African states, the Russian president announced the cancellation of debt from the countries of the Black Continent in the amount of more than $ 20 billion. The Russian leader added that joint programs were launched with a number of African countries, involving the use of debt funds to finance national projects.

            Experts explain that in such a goodwill gesture made by the head of state on behalf of the country, there are two key points - economic and reputation.

            The economic moment is due to the fact that debt cancellation in most cases is carried out in exchange for some action on the part of the debtor country. As a rule, this is development assistance: for example, the debtor country agrees to purchase certain products from Russia, thus loading the capacities of Russian enterprises.

            Perhaps there will be preferences for "Russian" companies for the development of minerals and the production of hydrocarbons, but all cash flows again pass through the "Western subsidiaries" and to Russia, little will come, perhaps the cost of evacuating our specialists in the next "color revolution" for this continent. laughing

        how many debts today were written off ?????

        Debts are always forgiven when signing agreements on:
        1) Providing the most favored nation treatment to companies in a country that writes off debts in relation to other economic partners
        2) Granting the right of preferential access to the country's natural resources
        3) Granting the right to participate in strategic industries and the financial sector
        4) Significant reduction in taxation to companies of the country writing off debt
        5) Other preferences, including the provision of land for the state needs of the country, writing off debt.

        That is, your brain gave such a deep and most important meaningful thought?
        So the cancellation of agreements to the state is all for a bucket of seeds in your opinion?
        And the fact that our companies receive preferences, a reduction in the tax burden, a reduction in customs duties to Russian exporters, is that so little things? And the fact that our defense industry in billions of billions gets an advantage over competitors in the market of this state, is that good for you? Again, the import of products from this state and in general trade will increase significantly, if not at times, do not we also think? And finally, strategic nishtyaki, right up to the construction of our base there, I suppose, doesn’t fly into your head too?
        This is me, for a vantage point you have identified some points that this cancellation of debt gives us. But there are still tenders in the civilian sphere, for example, which can be measured in billions.
        But then you need to gurgle that all polymer was stolen, and that the plaster is removed, the client leaves.

By the fact that we will write off a couple of billion green rubles to them, then we drive a couple of transporters there to serve two missile carriers, then there are 20 thousand kilometers of flight, plus refuelers, plus the risk of losing planes ...
      With this money you can build a couple of military camps or equip a couple of battalions with equipment. Do we have any economic interests in Africa? Will we compete with China and the USA? What for is this window dressing?

          Are you sure you graduated from school? Who to bomb? In order for the strategist to sit down and take off, there you need to have a couple of hundred hundred technicians and a technical base .. appropriate. The Boers will not check the avionics avionics of strategists, will not refuel, and will not suspend missiles and bombs. For the flight of the Tu-160 you need about 200 man-hours of training.
          PS: It could generally be a one-way flight. He sat down and did not take off .. then months, for repairs and the transfer of spare parts and technicians. If only the whole world would laugh.

              Venezuela - operator of the Su-30. Before the Tu-160 arrived there, 2 transporters flew there. It's the same in Iran. Airfield lease agreement, transport workers, base, then Tu'shki.
              PS: If the plane lands, it’s not a fact that it will take off. Prelaunch preparation, something speaks about it. There are standard hours, aircraft maintenance, before departure. There is ground equipment that checks the plane.
              PPS: Did you serve in the guard of honor? Or a technician? Not for nothing, first in South Africa boarded 2 transport, and only then Tu-160.
              What, nafik, roads? Is this front-line aviation? Or, in order to strike in New York, do you have to fly there a couple of times? There is a navigation system, then by orders from the Tower - landing. At the same time, the length of the runway is about 3500 m. In Russia, we have 5-7 aerodromes (operating 5), which a strategist can accept (except for civilians).

Seriously, the airfields that host and serve strategists in Russia are on the fingers of one hand. Yes, there are lanes where they can still sit, but not be serviced.

            And I got hooked.
            I even started checking the version about the possible TU 180. laughing

      What is noteworthy is that immediately after a visit to the Arabs, we flew over the Arabian Sea (and the desert was probably hit by a wing).
      Well, about the cancellation of debts to the Chungachangs, only the lazy one was not noted.

      The purpose of the visit of Russian aviation is the development of bilateral military cooperation and the development of interaction between the Russian Aerospace Forces and the South African Air Force.

      That development of cooperation specifically with South Africa (BRICS) is useful - no one doubts. Even Brazil. In South Africa, there are many different things. But I would like to clarify with experts:
      "Can you name a hypothetical place where (in a real combat situation) interaction between the Russian Aerospace Forces and the South African Air Force can take place?"
      Based on real events (just in life) of modern history, the interactions of the Russian Air Forces with the Turkish and Israeli air forces are known ... There is evidence that attempts of close contacts of the third degree took place even with the NATO air forces ... Such a kind of interaction ...
      Now, regarding debt relief:
      Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the total amount of debts written off by Russia to African countries exceeded $ 20 billion, TASS reports.
      He said that this is happening within the framework of international structures, in order to help the development of the African continent.
      Putin explained that assistance is being provided through the World Food Program, the International Civil Defense Organization, and the World Health Organization. Debt cancellation took place as part of an initiative to ease the debt burden of African countries.

      Naturally, what does the visit of the Russian Aerospace Forces to South Africa have to Putin’s visit to Africa. Nothing at all in common. Even the globes are different. But I still wanted to clarify about debts:
      Why African peoples and countries (some in their development are even faster than Russia in terms of performance) can write off debts of 1 rubles (translated), and it is not possible to find a little more than 300 for indexing pensions ... Why not to write off debts on mortgage loans (for example) to their own Russian citizens?
      To fly to South Africa, and even with refueling, and across three seas is a necessary and important thing ... This is when there are practically no places left for flights. Or the goals are so important (especially for strategists) that there’s simply nowhere to put funds for it ...

        At the expense of Africa’s debts, this is to the leadership of the CPSU, ask what point of the communist future they thought when they gave these guys tens of billions of help in the form of equipment, weapons, training, specialists, materials and much more. It is clear that they were not going to give Russia anything from the very beginning.

      At the last stage of the flight, honorary exportertons of Russian strategists were South African Air Force fighters Saab JAS 39

      Twenty-five again (T9)? Recently, spears have already broken here. All the same, probably an escort. I hope the mods fix it

      The flight took place in the waters of the Caspian and Arabian seas, as well as the Indian Ocean with one refueling in the air.

      When I found out that they were planning such a flight, I thought that they would go along our route already beaten back in the 70s and 80s. Through Venezuela (we have Cuba) - Conakry-Luanda. And it’s like that!

      One hour of a strategist’s flight costs 600 thousand wooden, 13 hours one way, plus the cost of a tanker and escort. Straight breathtaking.
