A video of the bombing of military transport aircraft Il-76MD appeared on the Web

A video of the practical bombing and firing of cannons by the crews of the Il-76MD military transport aircraft has appeared on the Web. The video was posted on its official YouTube channel by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

As explained in the military department, the crews of military transport aircraft worked out the release of radio beacons and night lighting bombs to indicate the aiming point and the subsequent landing of airborne troops. Bombing was practiced both during the day and at night. The exercises were held at the Kushalino training ground in the Tver region, aircraft from the formations of the Western Military District took part in them.

After the bombing, the aircraft crews practiced firing from the stern guns at lightly armored targets.

Practical bombing was carried out from four thousand meters during the day and 600 meters at night, live firing was carried out at altitudes of about 400 meters. Application Accuracy aviation bombs were provided by the standard sighting and navigation system of the Il-76 aircraft

- said in a statement.

The Ministry of Defense called these exercises "unique for this type of aviation."

It should be noted that Il-76MD military transport aircraft have four pylons under each wing, on which they can carry 4 P-50T bombs, instead of lighting transport aircraft, they can completely use live ammunition.

And if you drop six containers of ammunition from a volumetric explosion * from the ramp? Is this a hint to the Turks?

[Dmitry Donskoy]

Well, what, in the Second World War, everything that flew and drove could fight.

[Romario_Argo]

drop about six containers of volleyball munitions*?

only if, and again as an option -
throw ODAB-76 bombs from the Il-1500 with the help of an exhaust parachute through the rear hatch-ramp
although the accuracy is higher from pylons with the help of Hephaestus SVP, but the number is limited to 6 bombs
so you can slowly from a height of 10 km., from 10 visits from 6 point to 20 over the areas of ODAB-1500, throw in MODERATE

[seregatara1969]

And if in a pile from a ramp of 50 kg in pallets from a height of 10 km: what area will it loosen? Gophers will have a headache again. Well, as an option, huh?

[Romario_Argo]

it is tactically and economically unfeasible, and of course it’s a pity for the gophers

Yeah of course. Did you notice even a hint of such ammunition on the Video from the video article of the bombing of IL 76? What did you present in your video? And there is nothing close. I was especially touched by the all-destroying fire from the stern art installation of IL 76 There they even throw blanks with the help of the antediluvian standard sighting and navigation complex of the Il-76 aircraft Or make a real flying gunship! Or do not dishonor a good transport car! The Russian army needs flying special forces in the form of gunships. Not a lot. Heels. But for it to be really super effective!.

But this is a completely different question. No landings - no need to clear the site.

Anticipating the next thoughtful statement, the Strategic Missile Forces have never been used either.
But they, too, should not be disbanded, like the Airborne Forces

In the meantime, there is an airborne force and as long as there is the possibility of parachute landing, it is necessary to work it out. Including site cleanup.

Accessible enough?

And she is oh-hoo. Capable of using the most powerful conventional weapons in the world

And it all started with the BLU-82B "Daisy Cutter" bomb.
Which, suddenly, was used from military transport aircraft and later from transport helicopters and purposefully. intended for clearing landing sites and landing sitesя

Both the American "mother of all bombs" and our "dad" are just an extension of the "Daisy Mower" idea.

The legacy of the Soviet era - then BTA aircraft were planned to be used as ersatz bombers.
In practice, the most famous "transport bomber" was bomber An-12, used in Ethiopia and in the Indo-Pakstan wars as a "carpet bomber" with the release of bombs from the cargo hold. Fortunately, the equipment allowed it, yes ...

Bomber weapons include:
2 photographic bombs FOTAB-100-80 or 2 night reference and signal bombs NOSAB-100 or 2 day reference and signal bombs DOSAB-100 for dropping from beam holders;
6 color target-signal aerial bombs TsOSAB-10 or 6 night reference-naval aerial bombs OMAB-25-8N or 6 daytime reference-naval aerial bombs ОМАБ-25-12Д or 6 radio probes for dropping from a box holder ДЯ-SS-АТ;
70 100 kg bombs (OFAB, ZAB) or 29-32 250 kg bombs (OFAB, ZAB, PTAB, RBC) or 18-22 500 kg bombs (FAB, ZAB, FZAB, RBC) or 18 UDM-500 aircraft miners for dropping from the conveyor TG-12MB.

why did the task of churkobesses appear in the desert / jungle to drive? Or for what would be?

[Pete mitchell]

Well, at least in order to be able to qualitatively support ground groups when other resources are not at hand. You know this happens...

[Voltsky]

are you talking about an attack aircraft? for it is the attack aircraft that are doing what you are talking about ... but the ganship is to drive the barmaley without air defense systems, and as far as I remember, all the competitors of the Russian Federation in the dangerous political business have air defense systems.

[Pete mitchell]

Caesar is Caesar's: attack aircraft - to storm, but there is a place for a gunship. My classmate once picked up a surrounded group, the weather and geography did not allow the use of aviation: he took a chance, a helicopter for write-off, but thank God they all returned. The same spooky is a powerful reconnaissance platform that can provide itself with information, well, decent artillery weapons. For me, a couple of dozen would be useful, of course, an armada is not needed

[Voltsky]

Quote: Pete Mitchell

cognitive dissonance, no, haven't you heard it? :) But maybe I just didn't understand your literary turn...

That is, in a situation where it was impossible to use aviation, a gunship would be useful, which cannot be used, and of course it is decommissioned; did I understand correctly?

And the reconnaissance platform seems to be called "Orion".

You name the tasks for me, and the place where it would be useful and not stories from life, because stories from life are sometimes terrible but isolated, and equipment for single tasks is not done.

[Pete mitchell]

Probably put it in a catchy way: the gunship itself can collect information and hammer without visual contact.
Then there was no such possibility: the helicopter took a chance and took the group away, the Lord looked after them ..., he still walks in parades now.

[Voltsky]

well, that's what was required to be proved :) you just like the concept itself, by the way, I do too ...

But it makes little sense, at least for now.

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Voletsky

I like the idea, but let me disagree with you: it would be useful. Do you have blue epaulettes? Here, by and large, you need kids who feet on the ground, ask. I think their opinion is more justified ..
PS It's very strange, but I didn't see your previous comment in full right away.

Quote: Voletsky

Are you talking about the R-3 family? Was there ever a chance to talk to the guys from the spetsnaz hercy or at least J-them? So here is one topic that they will not speak categorically about: Reb and countermeasure equipment. Spooky is quite independent for search and destruction

[Voltsky]

I'm generally a cynical Balt, I love military equipment like all "boys", so I'm here: well, if so, briefly :)

The kids on earth would say that they wouldn’t be happy to face the situation at all when they might need any kind of support, except for the one that the wife can provide :)

Okay, since we are talking about "fantasies" and about what we think would be useful without infantry, it seems to me that a super-heavy UAV would be a more suitable option, an IL-112 in the form of a shock battery or something similar ...

[Pete mitchell]

Where is the Baltics from?

Quote: Voletsky

The kids on the ground would say that they would gladly not face that situation at all ...

This is a priori, we assume, the Lord disposes: such a service.

Quote: Voletsky

I am generally a cynical Balt, I love military equipment like all "boys" ...

Therefore, it is necessary to be interested in the opinion tightly tied on this. If I'm not mistaken, the first special Combat Talon fixed the entire region of your eastern border in '97

[Voltsky]

1. Latvia
2. God has nothing to do with it
3. The opinion of those who are tightly tied in something is taken into account, but not as a basis; in life, unfortunately, there are priorities and desire, and there are opportunities.
Not one of the 3 responds positively to the fact that a gunship is needed
4. Are we talking about gunships, and about their theoretical application in modern theater of operations? or you decided to focus on the Baltic states, do not jump like a frying pan.

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Voletsky

here about ganships

They would not be superfluous in a modern theater of operations: the guys on the ground would only be happy to use them if necessary, practice shows - the experience of amers, for example. This should be clear to you, a resident of the Baltics: on average, 200 days in the clouds, after all, it is not always possible to use CAS and FAC. Opportunity, priorities, desire.. these questions are for top management and the penetrating skills of responsible people.

Quote: Voletsky

Not correct

[Voltsky]

Americans iron barmaley without MANPADS, not to mention air defense systems; Do you even theoretically have such opponents? It’s just that the Su-25 and Mi-24/35 are currently performing the entire range of tasks to suppress pockets of resistance. Gunship - a weapon to fight partisans; but I will note as not who is not very familiar with installing equipment on different platforms; a group of several people can install a low-ballistics smoothbore gun on an aircraft with a minimal alteration of the hull, just give a project. And if it hasn't happened yet, it's not required - which I absolutely agree with...
ps don’t talk about the Baltics, I don’t discuss my own with strangers, and I don’t condemn strangers when I’m away :)

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Voletsky

The project is a piece of cake. Excuse me, but it seems to me that you are not very familiar with the capabilities of modern spooky. Artillery installation is not a problem, in addition to various search equipment, fire control, integrate it all together; add another rab, communication, achieve compatibility ... tactics are in the same place.
Maybe there are no these planes, but why This is a question from a different plane.

[Voltsky]

but I will note as not who is not very familiar with installing equipment on different platforms; a group of several people can install a low-ballistics smoothbore gun on an aircraft with a minimal alteration of the hull, just give a project.

I had to list the rest of the equipment too?!:) Whatever, what I called the most difficult, because you need to take into account the strength characteristics of the hull, etc. and so on. Everything else is electronics, which does not affect the performance characteristics, the main thing is that the platform meets the needs of capacity and carrying capacity.

So a counter question, do you understand exactly what you are talking about and want?! :)

this is the logic of an arguing woman or child, this is this, and here he / she, and if so or vice versa, this is ... No, this will not work and that's it.

My answer was contained in the first 2 counter-arguments, and then tiring demagogy; you forgive me :) All the best and goodbye.

Glad for your confidence - go ahead though...
Have you seen a gunship other than in the pictures? I like the praetorian, this past here ...

Thanks for your usefull input..well, to be correct

[Thunderbolt]

If the enemy does not have anti-tank weapons, the armored personnel carrier can support its landing force with fire.
It is logical to assume that if the enemy does not have air defense, an air transporter can support its airborne troops with beacons and luminous bombs.

[6erJIblu]

First. Not an armored personnel carrier, but a BMD. And secondly, if it is possible to land troops, then the enemy’s air defense has already been suppressed or cannot oppose anything. And the third out of the first two. ATGMs will be crushed from the air.

[Voltsky]

rather, it's just training, and partly experimental ..

[sedoj]

The title of the article is very ambiguous. Maybe, after all, "bombing by military transport aircraft." And it turns out that instead of bombs, planes were dropped.

[Petio]

During the Iran-Irsk war, the Il-76 of the Iraqi Air Force bombed the Iranian infantry at the forefront with tanks from 6000 m

[Voltsky]

why not ?! A psychological attack, like motos on zebras lying in the trenches and shooting from the zebras while standing.

[tlauicol]

Light armored vehicles have their own guns. Who will let him pass like that and then shoot him?

[7,62x54]

It is archaic to use clumsy heavyweights for bombing even from 4000 meters, not to mention 600. They will plant them from the ground so that mother does not cry.

[Grigory_45]

Il-76MD military transport aircraft have four pylons under each wing, which can carry 4 P-50T bombs

Each of the four Il-76 pylons can carry a bomb with a caliber of up to 500 kg. Bombing can be carried out both in automatic mode from the Kupol system and from NKBP-7.

In general, all Soviet transport workers could be used as ersatz bombers. Starting from An-2

and ending with the An-12 (which had OPB-1R and NKPB-7 sights and an RBP-2 panoramic radar to determine the point of cargo release out of sight of the ground, and could receive up to 70 100 kg bombs, or 22 500 kg bombs, or 18 naval mines)

The An-12 was used as a bomber by the Indian Air Force during the war with Pakistan in 1971, and, according to the Indians, their effectiveness was higher than those in service with the Canberra. Moreover, Annushka had no losses.
An-12 was also noted during the Ethiopian-Eretrian conflict and in Angola

[Avior]

When I inserted mine, I saw yours
add - An-2 firing nurses

[Avior]

This is something else.
There were shock attack aircraft and more abruptly

weaponry
Unguided missiles: 2 RO units, 16 S-5M or S-5K unguided projectiles
Bombs: one beam holder BDZ-57KU or BDZ-57KR with a bomb weighing up to 250 kg

And if the enemy didn’t have enough nurses and bombs, it was possible to add directly from the cabin

And in general, the aircraft was multi-purpose.

An-2TD - transport and landing. The salon is equipped for 12 paratroopers and their cargo, with benches along the sides and with devices for landing and dropping cargo. It was equipped with ropes for parachute lanyard carbines, as well as sound and light alarms for commanding paratroopers.[5]
An-2F is an experimental artillery spotter with a navigator's cockpit glazed with armored glass in the rear fuselage, armored protection of the cockpit and armored engine protection, dorsal machine gun and two-fin vertical tail (1948). Armament - two guns of 20 mm caliber, luminous bombs or photo bombs.[5]
An-2NAK - photo reconnaissance and night artillery reconnaissance. Two-keel with a glazed tail section. Armed with a UBT machine gun or an NS-23 automatic cannon. The first flight was in April 1949 (test pilot A.E. Pashkevich).
An-2 "interceptor" - with a twin machine-gun turret behind the center section and a searchlight for intercepting reconnaissance balloons

And you thought, "maize", eka unseen!
And he is an interceptor!

An-2- this is not huhry-muhry for you ....

Gentlemen, experts (couch and professional), tell me if there were any analogues of the American ac-130 spectre / U in the USSR Armed Forces and whether there are analogues in the RF Armed Forces.

Thank you. I just think in Syria such an aircraft would be useful to extinguish the barmaley. No one will get him there, but he will get everyone. I would fly for hours over Idlib and fire at them. I like it here, and its purpose is quite interesting. It is clear that an enemy who has at least some kind of air defense and fighter aircraft will shoot him down, but for conflicts like the Syrian one, this is the plane that is needed.

Over Idlib is unlikely

[Pavel57]

Il114TOP may still return.

[iouris]

Yes, there is a mode, but it's not very clear why. All Soviet passenger aircraft were equipped with an optical sight for bombing. And the navigator.

[Pavel57]

Hephaestus needs to be installed.
