What to expect after the theses on the “curvature and mediocrity” of Iranian anti-aircraft gunners

200

Iran’s recognition of striking a Ukrainian airliner in the area of ​​Tehran’s international airport posed perhaps more questions than answered.

If we are guided exclusively by dry facts (without considering a whole series of oddities and nuances), then the following picture emerges: the level of qualification of Iranian air defense calculations is not even in doubt, it is shocking.



No less doubt is the level of technical organization of the work of the air defense and missile defense units. After all, it was stated that the operator did not have the opportunity to get in touch (although before this strange and tragic incident, it seems, there were no problems with communication), and therefore he made the decision almost alone. And taking into account the fact that we are not talking about some kind of peripheral object, but about the metropolitan region of the country, whose cover, by definition, should be close to the best. In such a situation, it turns out that it’s scary to imagine what level experts manage air defense systems “far” from Iran’s strategic facilities, even if they are not able to distinguish airliner that just took off from a cruise missile in the area of ​​Tehran’s international airport.

It seems that behind these conclusions about the “curvature and mediocrity” of Iranian anti-aircraft gunners, one of the “friends of Iran” (who could it be ...) is about to utter: you just imagine what would happen if Iran at the moment there was a “nuclear button” at the disposal - some “major at the console” could say that he “lost contact with the command post” and press, so as not to confuse the IRGC ... Accordingly, this message will be more emphasized and phrase: Everything needs to be done to prevent Iran from building its nuclear weapon, and in general - to strangle Iran with sanctions, to deprive even a civilian nuclear program, to cut off oil exports - until the "Ayatollah regime" collapses.

At the same time, an information attack on Russia is to be expected with the words: “Russian arms exports bring chaos and death.” Something similar has already begun Turchinov.

So, the same “Thor” is already trying to be recorded in an “offensive” weapon, which means that soon something similar can be expected about more advanced Russian air defense systems - the S-300 (Iran has it) and the S-400 (Iran and Iraq express a desire to acquire these complexes). The message could be this: if the Iranian military is so poorly trained that it launches missiles on passenger aircraft, then Russia should be limited in arms sales not only to Iran, but also to other representatives of the “camp of opponents of the democratic world.” As a result - another attempt to strike at the Russian military-industrial complex through the argument that "such countries can not sell any serious weapons." Well, then - “in a united rush”, “resolution at the UN” and everyone will forget how it all began and who even in Europe managed to come up with missile defense systems under shouts about the incredible Iranian threat.

          For me, we need to wait for the results of the investigation. It is not clear what they brought down. The wreckage of a Tor air defense missile system at the crash site of an airliner? How is this possible if the plane, after being hit, still planned for a considerable distance for some time. I wonder what the air-gunners will say.

            It’s interesting what the airmen will say.

            What do you want to hear? In the face of partisanship, there seems to be no talk of a layered air defense system. There were no teams from a higher command post, and if there was, it means the command post is the same. There are so-called control groups on any more or less significant CP flights with aircraft. With the exact dates of departures, arrivals, courses both in altitude and speed, flight numbers and characteristics. Surely this board was also registered in the control group, and it was led, why they slapped, a mystery to me? Maybe it was not planned, maybe it was not on its course, maybe it was carrying something that should not have gone abroad. Is there zero information, so I don’t know what happened? Of course, I feel sorry for people, especially the Slav brothers.

              Thank. Apparently, Iran does not have a single integrated system of air defense and airspace control. But I wanted to ask about something else - the wreckage of missiles at the crash site of the airliner. In terms of ballistics, so to speak.

                The absence of a unified air defense system is essentially the wildest mess in the army at the level of someone in Zimbabwe.
                Although there were cases that valiant warriors accidentally shot down liners. But damn it, not at the international airport!

              And how do you like the option of such an agreement?
              For the murder of the general, the Iranians are allowed to lightly bang on empty bases for a "response" visible to everyone, and those who agreed are also allowed to bang all the direct executors and their assistants. Which the CIA promised manna from heaven as soon as they were evacuated from Iran. Iran apologizes for those who really happened to be on that flight, the State Department does not give the go-ahead to the controlled media to inflate the hype, the CIA gets rid of the waste material. And in general, everyone is happy and everyone has his own way. Well, the officer who made the single-handed decision to shoot down resigns and is lost, with or without those received under a quiet order and an unscheduled pension.
              However, Iran could do something like that itself without the consent of the other side. But the suspiciously quiet reaction of the "world media" is somehow embarrassing. Enough time has passed. Iran admitted everything. Hype should already be up to heaven. And here even Ukraine is not at all. Frostbitten turchynov doesn't count.

        Dear NEXUS, but I agree with a colleague in the forum WROUGHT.
        Wangjuyu: soon the stuffing will begin, in various mass media, from Twitter to the Washington Post, the opinion that such a type of weapon as an air defense system is very dangerous, and it would be nice to put its sales under international control. At the same time, the theme of the downing of civilian airliners by rockets will be pedaled. namely Russian production. Considering that Russia is a well-known world leader in the production of air defense systems, double profit will be obtained - depriving our country of profits from the sale of air defense / missile defense systems, and spinning up another round of demonization of Russia. Actually, this stuffing has already begun - from the publications of Pastor Turchinov, and to the statements of users in various forums - from foreign ones, to native VO.

          Washington can start and say anything there. The facts are such that the United States has not made a single country on the globe, neither great nor rich, free. I repeat NONE!
          Heads of state such as China, Cuba, Iran, etc. have already begun to see clearly that nothing good can come from that side of the ocean. And this insight goes on the world ...
          And there are plenty of examples of the democratization of countries and the "liberation" of the US army from the regimes of these countries. Nobody wants to fight. And therefore all this hysteria is being whipped up. Trump will not take a machine gun and sit in a trench and not Merkel ...

She did not stop either after the First World War or after the Second. There is no concept of the Cold War in nature. This is idiocy, because either war or peace. Point.
          As for the stuffing, info war ... all this will be and even more. Another question is which is better, to listen to the Anglo-Saxons and fall under the rink of their policies, like Libya, Iraq, or to protect yourself from forced democratization and live peacefully with your own head. Already, many states have asked themselves this question.

          A stupid and incorrect comparison. Milling cutters process parts multiple times per shift - 5 days a week, 11 months a year. Therefore, some of them "walk without part of the fingers" - the law of large numbers. The air defense operator is doing his job less often.

        Vadim, I agree with you. I have already expressed my opinion on this issue at VO.
        It is impossible to confuse a low-flying maneuvering target with small shielding with a civilian plane flying at an altitude of more than 2 km, which goes along the well-known dedicated corridor and shines on the screens like a Christmas tree. About identification systems generally keep quiet. Even if we take into account that the Iranians were afraid of American cruise missiles and could shoot at everything that flies, it’s the same as knocking on the door at this door from everything that is in the house. Well, I don’t just believe it. The plane was shot down intentionally.
        After the assassination of an Iranian general, even more terrible news was needed that would overshadow the previous one. Which is what happened.
        So the truth about this event is still very vague. Iranians were appointed extreme, but the ears are clearly American.

          I agree. In addition to the above, there is another muddy moment - shooting downed aircraft from the phone. Besides the fact that you had to be at the right time in the right place (it could be random) you had to get the phone in advance and aim it in the dark in the sky where the plane was in that darkness in order to take everything off in time. This could hardly be a coincidence.
          And the Iranians wisely chose the lesser of two evils. They would have been accused of falling in love, and at least they would have shown themselves in a better light than they could have been, if they had rested to the last.

            I will add: one of the users of our forum, a couple of days ago, on a similar branch, absolutely correctly noticed: not only did the operator shoot, don’t understand why, it was this part of the night sky that was amazing unemotional - not a single "faqa", "Alla, yavbara", "inshaalli". In short, not a single emotional expression that a casual witness to such a catastrophe usually gives out.

            In this case, as soon as information about the danger to civilian vessels HERE is received and an order immediately arrives urgently to take someone where or to go to safe echelons, and the departure from airports is closed.
            Have you ever seen the mark of a civilian airliner on the radar? Compare it with the mark of such a small target as a cruise missile. Which is the size of the engine of this liner alone.

        It was later established that this aircraft NL-7442 was at the Andrews Washington airbase for three days - from August 11 to August 14, 1983.

And everyone still remembers what could happen.

      The main reason for the incident in the official report was the psychological state of the Vincennes team, operating in a combat situation under great pressure, as well as the similarity of the flight profile of the liner with the alleged attack profile of the Iranian fighter.

    Wow, what kind of drones the Jews have. Not only did not a single Iranian air defense radar see them, not even our "Resonances", it also flew 1500 km. The Americans' drones are "sluggish", they flew only 600 km into Iran. Yes, 200-300 kilometers over the territory of Iraq sawed.
    Kamrad! Maybe you should not look for a black cat in a dark room when it is not there. Iranians shot down a passenger liner. Howled about it. They are silent about US drones, although at another time they not only shouted at all corners, but also organized exhibitions of the wreckage.

And all the while the plane was flying, the track was on the screen of the surveillance radar. That is, from the very beginning of the flight it was clear where the target flew from.

    "Thor" is part of the general air defense system and cannot act independently (without a command from above). Moreover, at such a short distance it is impossible to confuse a plane taking off with a rocket or a drone. But retargeting the missile, after launch, to ANOTHER target (as with the Il-20 in Syria) is quite.
    As history shows, in countries with a dictatorship there are "interest groups." It is quite possible that there is an oppositional, deeply conspiratorial organization at the very top of which almost any operation is capable of. The goal is to discredit the Ayatollah regime and at the same time the IRGC.

    Vadim, I agree with you. I have already expressed my opinion on this issue at VO.
    It is impossible to confuse a low-flying maneuvering target with small shielding with a civilian plane flying at an altitude of more than 2 km, which goes along the well-known dedicated corridor and shines on the screens like a Christmas tree. About identification systems generally keep quiet. Even if we take into account that the Iranians were afraid of American cruise missiles and could shoot at everything that flies, it’s the same as knocking at the door at this door from everything that is in the house. Well, I don’t just believe it. The plane was shot down intentionally.
    After the assassination of an Iranian general, even more terrible news was needed that would overshadow the previous one. Which is what happened.
    So the truth about this event is still very vague. Iranians were appointed extreme, but the ears are clearly American.

    Yes, there the ears stick out of the Ayatollah’s opposition in Iran itself, didn’t guess? As they say, you can’t hide it anymore. Nobody in FIG needs to bring down their own, except for the opposition .. There are, as it were, Canadians of Iranian descent and Iranians, students ..

    I wonder why the version of the intentional fact of an attack committed simply by an individual person (or persons) is not considered? Is it impossible? On the 8th, right after the incident, the version was voiced that the military flew this flight, carrying out an attack on the Amer’s base and the attack was in order to destroy them. Perhaps it? I think that this is possible. The Americans announced that they had launched anti-aircraft missile launches at the same time on the morning of the 8th, of course, this could also be detected with the help of satellites, which were undoubtedly on duty there, but it was announced very quickly.

    But in vain you refuse to consider that very sequence. Just the reaction of the calculation looks the most adequate, and if the "switchman" is suddenly punished, there will be a frank excuse for a systemic failure or sabotage.

    The crew called and reported that a cruise missile was seen. Then the connection suddenly broke. A sergeant of an object-based air defense machine covering a specific base or structure hardly has an operational picture of civilian flights. There was a signal about a rocket, and then a target appeared. Communication with the command disappeared. Excuse me, what are your actions? If after a warning you don’t shoot, and this is really a rocket .. You will be shot! And they’ll do it right ..

    There is a second question .. Just literally, Iran launched a missile strike on American bases. And air defense naturally awaits an answer, but a proposal to close the sky should suddenly refuse from above. It turns out that at the top of the answer to your missile strike for some reason they do not wait? Maybe that's why they do not expect that not one American should be killed? But why then down, the air defense did not end the alarm? Or they also have one agency with another in no hurry to share information ..

      Because the blow to the Americans was needed for domestic consumption and was declared a terrible revenge. Therefore, it was necessary to warn the Americans about the strike, but it was impossible to warn the Americans that "there will be no kinase".

      I was still greatly surprised by the infa about the "departmental air defense of the IRGC", separated from the military air defense ... STE CHO take ??? belay Is this a type of object? And what are they going to repel a massive blow to the object with their pshikalkami without the support of long-range air defense? And if v52 circled above them at maximum height and sophisticatedly and methodically sadistically throw off leisurely bombs, will they shoot down with his slippers? In general, there is not anti-aircraft defense in my opinion, but whoever sabotaged that saber, it’s genius and efficiently managerial ... so to speak, private anti-aircraft defense, instead of combining so small weapons into a single system that can do anything at least ... Horror personally for me ... they have there in my opinion not only the brain is absent, but also the instinct of self-preservation ...

    There is a fact: a civilian side was shot down. There are recorded (from the anecdotal "this can never be from a scientific point of view" to the arrogant "this is a big lie and fraud") statements of the Iranian official leadership that they were not involved in the tragedy. These clumsy attempts to evade responsibility were followed by a forced confession. This reaction from Tehran is evidence that one can talk about anything, but not that the official authorities were aware of, or authorized the attack. But it is too early to talk about whether the actions of the performer were deliberate or careless. It is not excluded that the elimination of the iconic figure of the representative of the government of Soleimani, the attack on a civilian plane, explained by Iran, as a result of increased tension on the US threats and the outbreak of demonstrations in Iran, are links of the same chain. And if the protests become massive and end with the overthrow of the theocracy in Iran, then it is time to talk about a successful anti-Iranian multi-move of the special services. If the disturbances are of a local nature, then there is no relationship and tremendous club-handedness, lopsidedness, qualified as criminal negligence, was displayed. The site announced a version about an opposition agent, or ISIS, who launched a rocket. Original, but controversial. This guy will be kicked out in one moment during the torture, all about the customers. And the ayatollahs will receive a wonderful p
    A gift gadget to deal with its political opponents in the guise of a criminal case. As we say, Stalin, after the assassination of Kirov, or Erdogan after a failed coup. So let’s wait until the student’s performances end. They are not typical, by the way. The protesters refused to trample the American and Israeli flags drawn on their way.

      Oh, leave. Many words about what we do not know. You might think there was not a single Korean Boeing in the 80s. They defend themselves as best they can.

    I think that this can come to the opposite effect - I am not an air defense specialist, but I try to operate with large amounts of information while looking at trends ...
    Namely, what effect could be - building on the principle of a "common sky" with the CIS countries with autonomy for decision-making by the sovereign command and exchange of information, including the provision of data from our satellite constellation ... after all, we even help China in building a missile attack warning system.
    Here the question arises that these actions can be coordinated within the framework of an alternative to the Silk Road in the form of the construction of a canal from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, so to speak conditionally "Walking over three seas". And the construction itself will stimulate employment in Iran and further de-dollarization of the world economy, since any route, including our Arctic one, implies sovereign military security and banking settlements, even if only within the BRICS or another structure, since Central Asia and us are also open serious prospects, whole industries will start working, including shipbuilding.
    The channel should be considered unprofitable, since it does not provide a quick payback, but it will very seriously stimulate the region’s economy as the same BAM or other USSR construction sites. It is noteworthy for the eastern range of Russian Railways - our ancestors laid the subgrade under double-track tracks while building single-track with inserts to reduce operating costs due to the small volume of cargo turnover - but we thought for the future, for us this is a serious help ...

    It is worth finding out who owned the installation that brought down the Boeing. if Iran’s regular army is one thing, if the IRGC is another. The RF CSIR did not sell anything and could not sell it - this is not a state structure, but a military-religious (rather religious-military) entity. Transfer of IRGC military equipment is a direct violation of the contract.

    The absence of a unified air defense system is essentially the wildest mess in the army at the level of someone in Zimbabwe.
    Although there were cases that valiant warriors accidentally shot down liners. But damn it, not at the international airport!

    The layered and centralized air defense system didn’t prevent the Ukrainians from shooting down the S-200m Tu-154 flying from Israel Yes

    Well, judging by the fact that this installation was from the "protection" of the top-secret base of the IRGC, then it belonged to her. And the transfer of this technique to the IRGC is not a breach of contract. This is the same as, for example, our Ministry of Defense buys drones through the appropriate structures and transfers some of them to the National Guard. The end user certificate regulates the transfer of weapons to other states, that is, re-export. And by no means internal movements

    The further, the more muddy and dirtier this whole story .. Where does the infa about "TOR" come from? not a single official statement was made. In Iranian air defense there are many assorted air defense systems and "BUK" and, and "KUB" s, and S-300 and even their own developments .. It is not clear why immediately, when the investigation of the disaster did not even begin, they appointed a switchman, some nameless operator. A professional will tell you that the operator himself will never shoot without a command, even if it is the operator of the 9A310 SDU, because the target designation is given by the KP 9S470, at worst, the commander of the combat crew .. Why a Ukrainian aircraft, despite the fact that there are several sides before it took off without problems? Maybe it's all about his delay by an hour, maybe they wanted to shoot down some other side? You need to look at the flight schedule .. I have one version - the struggle for power, influence and cash flows, and perhaps the seizure of power in Iran is brewing, following the example of Egypt (1952) and Iraq (Saddam). They merged Suleimani, shot down a civilian board, declare the IRGC evil in the flesh, take the people out into the street, mass unrest, many victims among the civilian population, and now the army comes out all in white and takes the side of the people. That lady !! And in general, what is this disgrace of the IRGC's air defense ?! As well as the air defense of the FSB in Russia

    In any armed conflict, the loss of aircraft from the fire of their own air defenses is 5-10%, the norm (before shooting down Powers, they "overwhelmed" their own). when the disproportions in the air defense and air defense forces of the aggressor are overwhelming, t, b, taking into account that, according to experience and combat manuals, the first raids of all still "full-blooded" forces and means are aimed at suppressing air defense, command and control structures, it is quite understandable that combat shifts of calculations from overvoltage and fatigue in the morning lost their nerves, tb. who do not have sustainable combat shooting skills and experience, they were given the command and they did their job. And in addition, there are suggestions that they were also "helped" in this tragic mistake. Questions should be addressed to the superiors, organizers and operational duty officers of higher command posts, who sets the tasks and gives permission to open fire, who organizes air traffic and interaction with air defense. In general, I think they will sort it out without us, and we can only express regret and sympathy.

    Quite right. And the main thing is that there are more and more questions, and less and less answers.

And its wiring was coordinated with the air defense ...

    Where does the infa about "TOP" come from? not a single official statement was made. In Iranian air defense there are many assorted air defense systems and "BUK" and, and "KUB" s, and S-300 and even their own designs ..

    In a statement from the commander of the IRGC aerospace forces, it was mentioned that the plane was shot down by a short-range complex. Iran has only four short-range complexes. These are the ancient British rapier and Tigerkat complexes, the Chinese FM-80 (based on the French Krotal air defense missile system) and the Russian Tor-M1 complex.
    Taking into account the fact that the Ukrainian plane was detected at a distance of 19 km and shot down at a distance of 12 km from the position of the air defense missile system, we can safely delete the British ones. Their engagement range is 6,5 km (Taygerkat) and 7 km (Rapier), respectively.
    The Chinese complex could hit an aircraft at such a range and altitude, but its detection range according to various sources is no more than 18 km (the maximum that I came across was 18,4 km). Therefore, only "Thor" remains. The detection range is 27 km, the destruction range is just 12 km
    And by the way, there are no Buks in service with Iran. "Cubes" were not supplied to Iran either, although there are several batteries in the Iranian air defense system. According to some reports, these are either trophies of the Iran-Iraq war, or were acquired in the early 90s in Romania. But this complex can rather be attributed to medium-range complexes. Yes, and two missiles with a BG of 57 kg would have smashed the liner to shreds (in contrast to the 14-kg from the "Thor"

      The air defense of the IRGC is puzzling to me .. Regarding the air defense system from which the plane was shot down, the question is open, the serviceman who made a report and repented clearly has nothing to do with the air defense. A sort of nachpo, says what the commander of an anti-aircraft missile regiment of a motorized division tried to explain to him. What exactly the board was shot down and at what distance only the one who did it knows. So we will wait for the results of the "investigation". By the way, "non-brothers" from Nazi via Romania and Bulgaria quietly supplied "Cuba" to Iran, bypassing the sanctions. Zalaya will be ironic if it turns out that the Ukrainian plane shot down the "Ukrainian" Cube

    Here, rather, the problem is that the supply of arms to Iran by Russia did in circumvention of international sanctions. So - it is indirectly responsible for this tragedy. This also confirms the position of Russia, which blamed anyone but the Iran for the tragedy. And the sparrows that could penetrate the wing, and both faulty engines at the same time, and satellite pictures, where American drones shoot at close range Boeing, and the testimony of the controller Carlos. We just did not have time to write about boarding pre-arranged troupes of passengers on the plane.
    But it turned out that the barmalei had more conscience than the Russian Foreign Ministry, Russian propagandists and Russian experts. Iran acknowledged its responsibility for the downed Boeing, which already causes respect, in contrast to the deceitful position of Russia.

    This report was made by the commander of the Air Force and the Military Space Forces of the IRGC, which also includes air defense. On a post more than 10 years. so IMHO is still relevant to this structure ...

    With a 1000% guarantee, this will only become known after the end of the investigation. However, indirectly, it was still "Thor". The Iranians have 4 types of short-range air defense systems. Two of them have a range of 6-7 km, while two have just the range that is needed. But the Chinese FM-80 has a smaller detection range and does not reach the announced range of 19-20 km. So there is only one contender - "Tor-M1"

    What kind of weapons did Russia supply in circumvention of sanctions? The UN sanctions were on "offensive weapons". Defensive is not the case. In addition, we ourselves delayed the delivery of the S-300, although after a few years we delivered four divisions
    The Torahs were delivered before 2010, when there were no sanctions for the supply of weapons at all. Iran paid for the supply of "Shell" to Syria, and half of the complexes went to him
