In the US, spoke about the losses of the Russian air forces in Syria

Russia during the military operations in the Syrian Arab Republic lost 19 aircraft and helicopters. All losses are from 2015 to 2018. It is reported by the American magazine The National Interest.

The authors of the material published on the pages of the magazine claim that Russia for the period 2015-2018 lost 11 helicopters and 8 aircraft in Syria. In addition, according to American journalists, the loss of aircraft caused the death of 23 pilots (crew members) and 37 passengers. All data is taken from open sources.

According to the publication, the Russian VKS suffered major losses in the initial period of the war due to the inexperience of Russian pilots, the second cause of the losses was the problems with equipment. This could be avoided by using high-precision weapon и Drones following the example of the United States, whose Air Force lost one F-2014 Fighting Falcon fighter and a V-2020 Osprey tiltrotor during the operation against the Islamic State (banned in Syria) in Syria in the period 16-22.

However, the author notes, the losses in equipment and people in Russia were too small to interfere with the work of the Russian Air Force, which by mid-2018 had made about 39 thousand sorties. According to Western experts, Russia's actions have made it possible to change the situation in Syria in favor of Bashar al-Assad. Without the Russian VKS, he would not have survived.

That's right, the Americans also use manned aircraft. But! Americans are also very active in using UAVs, shock UAVs!

To understand the essence, let’s take Turkey again. How many Syrians shot down Turkish UAVs? And if it were manned vehicles? Yes, there would be casualties among Turkish pilots.
Impact UAVs gave them the opportunity to avoid casualties among pilots.

Exactly! At high risk of losing the aircraft and the pilot, they chose the UAV. Those. they did not have to check whether the Syrians would bring down the F-16 or not.
As you can see, the UAV gives serious flexibility and preservation of the aircraft with the pilots.

Our Su-24, with the dead pilot and marine, we have not forgotten ....

It goes without saying.

While UAVs are not able to perform all the tasks assigned to aviation and as soon as the enemy establishes air defense, the UAV losses increase sharply, and their effectiveness drops sharply, due to the inability of these UAVs to solve combat missions from small and super low heights

Yes, UAVs in the continuous air defense zone do not live well, as, indeed, for manned vehicles.
here they carry out air defense either beyond the boundaries of the destruction of missiles, or at very low altitudes.
But even with an air defense breakthrough, UAVs are useful as targets for distraction.

[Jack O'Neill]

Dear target comes out, very dear

UAV options - heaps. The same Reaper will not fly to break through the air defense. )
Yes, and initially the topic was about us and Syria, where we have no one to break through air defense. Barmalei have not yet created their own air defense systems.)
And flying over the danger zone, bombing Toyota barmalei, the accumulation of manpower, etc., then the role of UAVs is much more promising.
Yes, the loss of UAVs can afford it, but not as much as the loss of a manned vehicle with a pilot. Moreover, barmaleis love to scoff at bodies and put it on the Internet, this beats even harder, especially for relatives and families.

They did not show any promise, since the United States did not bombard the barmaley. UAVs were used to strike stationary objects.

[boris epstein]

Yes, to strike from someone else’s airspace (but not Syrian, from Libyan, Lebanese) or from civilian aircraft, when the air defense cannot respond due to the risk of destroying a civilian aircraft, is really effective. But meanly.

[Oquzyurd]

F-16 flight hour = 20 thousand dollars. Anka-S UAV flight hour is approximately = 1200 dollars, Bayraktar TV2 UAV = 700 dollars.
This was told by a military air blogger from Turkey.
The cost of UAVs is 4-12 million dollars, depending on the model and configuration. (They themselves produce, this is the main chip)
The cost of aircraft, guess for yourself.
For example, they themselves produce Anka-S, on average, for 10-11 million dollars a piece. The other day, they concluded a deal with Tunisia for the supply of 6 pieces of Anka-S, ground stations and many rockets. The total cost of the contract is 240 million dollars .That is, 40 million pieces. In full.

[Ovrag]

While UAVs are not able to fulfill all the tasks assigned to aviation

So far, the only thing the UAV will lose to full-fledged aircraft is in direct aerial combat. All the rest. Same. There is no difference with what to throw cast iron or precision discs. Any carrier can handle this. And if UAVs begin to be equipped with normal radar, then in long-range aerial combat they will be able to show a lot of things.

[ism_ek]

Imagine that your car responds to a turn of the steering wheel or pressing the brake pedal with a delay of about a second. When do you visit the garage? I'm already silent about "throwing cast iron")))

[bang]

they did not have to check whether the Syrians would bring down the F-16 or not.
In 2012, the Turks checked. Syrians shot down Turkish F-4.

Wow, they didn’t really talk about the exploits of McCain, who alone killed 25 American planes and disabled Forrestal aircraft carrier for a year.

[EvilLion]

And where does McCain have to do when the electric launch at the rocket foolishly worked there? McCain himself would hardly have survived at all if he had been in the cockpit on the deck.

[flicker]

And where does McCain

yes here I think, and where is McCain?

... did the electric launch on the rocket stupidly work there?

To blame: the electric starter (?) And the rocket itself (it was not McCain who destroyed the aircraft carrier, but the rocket).

[EvilLion]

We recently had a Ka-52 so accidentally shot at the camera. Obviously, the pilot’s fault is not there, he came to the training ground, requested permission to turn on weapon control, got it, turned it on, the descent of the NURS closed.

Su-24M brought down by Turkey to consider labor as a combat loss since the war was not with Turkey.

[Dreamboat]

Another "delighted sofa expert". The range of the Turkish drones is 125 km. and they are not even close to any analogue of military aviation. It is rather an analogue of tactical missiles.
All the PR of the American Air Force about the success of their drones is stories about single flights of VERY expensive toys on previously explored routes. Where operational decision-making and less mass involvement of aviation is required, the Americans use manned aircraft.

[Soviet Union]

And do not forget about 39 thousand sorties.

[venik]

Quote: Jack O'Neill

That's right, the Americans also use manned aircraft.

========
Excuse me, but HOW MANY sorties were made by "American aviation" in Syria ??? Could you tell?

[EvilLion]

Do you really believe that one UAV with a load of 200 kg can replace at least the F-16, which will completely deliver tons of 3 loads? The result is appropriate, some problems among the Syrians, while the UAV did not beat. An F-16 regiment in the same time would have rolled Syrians into dust simply.

[carstorm 11]

for objectivity it is also necessary to count American sorties. Well, that would be measured by statistics.

And also take into account that the barmalei bring down those who are fighting. And on their own, on those who help them, they do not shoot.

If America in Syria was at war with the bearded, I would see how many "American heroes" would be added to Arlington.

[Boris Chernikov]

the whole thing is that then Iraq and Afghanistan must be taken into account. And yes, after the Americans in the same Iraq lost a dozen and a half cars a year to zero, they didn’t teach us how to fight. In Afghanistan, in the 15-18th years, which, in fact, were calm for the coalition, 4 sides were lost for those reasons but if you take any year of active combat, there’s a different picture - 12 boards for 2013 or 15 boards for 2012 .. About the 2011 general I’m silent, there the starfall-16 boards crashed or was shot down .. so 15-19 sides for 4 years in Russia is less than 5 sides per year ..

Do you compare the attacks of the KAB-250/500/1500 air bombs with the MAM-L attacks, that is, the cut-off UMTAS ATGMs? And what would be the operational efficiency of the UAVs? Our Orion UAVs also attacked in Syria, though not so massively, but as tests.

[Jack O'Neill]

Can you share information on the Orions in Syria? It is especially interesting what exactly was bombed.
And yes, the comparison is not only with the CAB, but with the usual FAB, no matter how strange it sounds.
There is a comparison with efficiency, in comparison with manned vehicles, the same Su-24/25.
The only minus of the UAV is its load, it can take fewer bombs / SD.

Well, the information is not as much as we would like.

Orion-E, a Russian small attack drone reconnaissance, was allegedly the first to strike in the Syrian Arab Republic. This was reported by the Syrian opposition agency Step News and the telegram channels of the militants of the "moderate opposition."

Reportedly, the target of the strike was the position of the militants of the Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham organization banned in Russia and its allies of the moderate opposition in the north of the Hama province.


This strike was carried out within the framework of the aviation company of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the CAA Air Force to destroy strongholds, headquarters and other objects of militants violating the de-escalation regime in northern Syria.

The Orion-E unmanned aerial vehicle has a maximum take-off weight of 1000 kg and a payload mass of up to 200 kg, and its flight duration is 24 hours. In the strike version, the drone has several different modules for ammunition weighing from 25-50 kg to 150 kg.

And then only Anna News, and even "presumably"...

[tarakan]

Is the bomb load of the UAV and the GRACH the same? Or do you propose, when the barmaley advances, to destroy them pointwise one at a time?

[Runoway]

One must be objective

- Were there any threats to the US Air Force?
The goals of the United States: the seizure of oil fields and the overthrow of the regime (so as not to interfere) with controlled barracks and well-trained equipment (I will not be afraid of these words), neither Turkey nor Israel would risk even getting in the way of the USA

AND OUR VKS

One must be objective

-Opposite them, everything from the barmalei and the USA to Israel and Turkey (do not touch these, do not offend them, some barmalei from the moderates have been sorted for years)
drove what was and studied in the process:
-blind night hunters
- a half-dead kuzya with a haze and a faulty aerofinisher (let's be honest (there was an article, avionics is not on our deck aircraft) and there was no need for it at all except for ambition, they wanted to boast, but they left, well at least under their own power, with shame for endless repairs)
- helicopters without President C systems
-work front-line bombers without fighter cover
-unpunished villains of the Israeli allies (downed silt -20)
That is objectively 90% of the causes of the loss of the airspace forces in Syria

To be objective, we must admit the fact that Russia is really fighting international terrorism there, while the United States merely imitated this fight, and therefore their aviation was not the target for a bearded riffraff. Indeed, it was with the participation of Russia that most of the territory held by the igiloids came under the control of the SAA, while during the participation of the aviation of the pro-American anti-Assad coalition, the territory controlled by terrorists reached almost 80% of the entire territory of Syria.

Quote: Jack O'Neill

And Turkey, strangely enough, cemented this opinion when it bombed Syria.

Yes, we must admit that Turkey has demonstrated that UAVs are truly effective weapons. But, again, you have to be objective! Turkey used the surprise factor and the fact that the SAA concentrated a critically small amount of anti-aircraft defense equipment in this direction, since the bearded a priori lacked UAVs and aviation, and therefore the SAA was not ready to repel an attack from the air. But, we must admit that the Syrians quickly enough reacted to this Turkish attack and reduced the number of Turkish drummers by 7 units.

My classmate (a long time ago) came to school with a fingal under my eyes. What happened, we asked, and he: I was suddenly hit. How? They didn’t share the girl in the yard, I thought that for a start we would swear, swear, and he silently hit right away. Everything was sudden, that’s it

The numbers are not real. Where did 8 aircraft and 11 helicopters come from?

Threat; Yes indeed, I checked with the sources and it turns out.

[shonsu]

To be objective, helping Assad was one of the goals. The second of the goals was to run into the database as many samples of equipment and pilots as possible. That is why pilots are constantly changing. Kuznetsov was driven for the same. Hence, at least half the losses.

[Rusj]

Race! Losses of 7 helicopters and 8 aircraft of different types! Of the 8 aircraft, 5 crashed for various reasons, 1 aircraft were shot down by the Syrians from air defense systems and only two were shot down! Of 7 helicopters, 2 crashed and 5 were shot down! Where did they get 19 miserable ???

I remember more than five years ago, many argued that tank building was yesterday, and tanks are not relevant. Life has shown the opposite. So here with aviation, these two areas should complement each other.

"without Russian aerospace forces, he would not have survived" here they are right. Our videoconferencing did a lot to make the barmaley sour.

For the period 2015-2018, Russia lost 11 helicopters and 8 aircraft in Syria. In addition, according to American journalists, the loss of aircraft caused the death of 23 pilots (crew members) and 37 passengers

War is war. It all looks beautiful on the TV screen and one continuous victory, but in reality everything happens. Enemies are also insidious. In war, there is no loss. To this list you need to add those who died fighting on the ground, as well as the passengers of the crashed Tu-154. And taking into account the losses of PMCs, the losses of people and equipment are not small. Earth to them all in peace. The losses of Iran and Hisballa are much greater. And the opponents in the person of the Turks, French, Americans and other Saudis lost quite a few.

[ric]

Such losses from pure races ..... both pilots and flight managers. Why not fight like that, it’s impossible, according to the instructions, the pilots demonstrating courage and heroism crawled under the ZSU and (not under the Stingers) under the Russian Needles.

[Levin]

Where did they climb on ZSU? Most planes bombed from an altitude of 5km. Therefore, the combat losses over 5 years (among aircraft) are only 3 devices, in contrast to the losses of the Trukhlyandiy Air Force in the Donbass, for example, where it lost over a dozen aircraft in 3 incomplete months.

Perhaps it was meant that for the average layman, who is the majority of the population of the participating countries, a soldier is a representative of the state, a defender of the fatherland, who did not really have a choice to go or not. And the PMC employee - a man at his own risk and earning money, went there consciously. Accordingly, a different attitude to losses, no matter how cynical and stupid it may sound. And PMC losses are not required for ordinary people to report, unlike losses in the armed forces.
Well, most of our fellow citizens do not understand while PMCs are not used to it.

One fighter and one tiltrotor could not be lost at all. Why did they even lift them into the air? They would have sat as they had been in Syria these 6 years before the arrival of Russia. The best way to not bear losses is not to fight. Who called them there? Trump likes oil? Let it go and drown in it, moreover, at home it can do faster. There is more oil in the USA.

If the military actions of the Russian Federation in Syria did not have political problems in the form of the "democratic" forces of the United States and Turkey, then the losses of the Aerospace Forces would be minimal.

[Oleg Salov]

Only those who do not take part in hostilities have no losses, and the Americans, from 2014 until Russia entered the conflict, managed to give 80% of the territory of Syria to the terrorists and until now the Americans have done nothing to eliminate the gangs of terrorists, but on the contrary, in every way they are covered and covered, and ours entered into conflict in 2015 and already in 2017 80% of the territory of Syria would have been freed, if it had not been for the treacherous policy of Erdogashka, everything could have ended a long time ago, so we have losses, and the Americans don’t, they they don’t fight, but, on the contrary, they supply weapons and they help to plan and carry out operations, Americans in Syria can have losses only from ours.

There are military operations in which UAVs are more effective than an airplane or turntable, and it’s not a pity to lose it by comparing the prices of a pilot and a drone. And there are operations where the UAV does not do what the aircraft can do, and the pilot has an intuition that you can’t replace with a computer, you just need to use everything wisely.

While UAVs are not able to perform all the tasks assigned to aviation and as soon as the enemy establishes air defense, the UAV losses increase sharply, and their effectiveness drops sharply, due to the inability of these UAVs to solve combat missions from small and super low heights

To deny that UAVs are more effective than manned aviation is absolutely meaningless.
1. Today, and all the tasks of aviation, UAVs are not capable of performing only transport flights.
2. When the enemy establishes air defense losses of manned aircraft, if it performs the same tasks, they grow faster than losses of UAVs. In Yemen, UAVs are very successful strikes with the absolute dominance of Saudi manned aircraft in the air.
3. UAVs can solve problems from all over.
4. UAVs are much cheaper than manned aircraft. Compare the price of one Bayraktar and one F-16 with the pilot. When Bairaktar is one of the most expensive UAVs due to Western technology, which is always very expensive.

This could be avoided by using high-precision weapons and drones following the example of the United States, whose Air Force lost one F-2014 Fighting Falcon fighter and a V-2020 tiltrotor during the operation against the Islamic State (prohibited in Syria) in Syria in 16-22 Osprey.

In addition to the US Air Force, their allies also acted against the IS, and they also lost aircraft. One Jordanian pilot was publicly burned.
One of the Russians and two Syrian aircraft shot down the F-16 from the Turkish Air Force, but the IS did not hit the F-16.
But you can’t dispute that UAVs and low-lethal weapons are better. Even better and more efficient are UAVs and high-precision missile and artillery weapons.

it’s funny to read about how they depicted the struggle for several years, then Russia came there, they armed and trained the barmaley and now they compare the losses

But even with an air defense breakthrough, UAVs are useful as targets for distraction.

An expensive target comes out, very expensive. An hour of operation of such a "target" is more expensive than a manned vehicle. Not every economy will survive

Himeim was attacked by cheap drones. An air defense missile costs more.

who by the middle of 2018 had made about 39 thousand sorties? And the coalition for all the time, because our aircraft are not recognized as pregnant by the signal of their stranger, and weddings in hospitals and at the funeral, there is no pro, and the coalition flies out to bomb almost only them.

Pind wasps should often report for their real losses to their citizens, and not soak a nickle in someone else's plate.

[Igor Dvornikov]

The percentage of losses from the number of departures should be considered. The Kurds did not lose a single aircraft even if they had one.

What is not clear here? The war began, using bacteriological weapons. The one who used this weapon did not show his face, so as not to receive a retaliatory strike, it is so tolerant, in the West. The blow has already been dealt when bloodsucking insects (midges, mosquitoes, flies) are connected (with the onset of heat), the consequences will be terrifying for the population. The war is on the destruction of the population.
