Strange reaction to the approach of IL-38 to the aircraft carrier "George Washington" of the US Navy

145

The network discusses some oddities associated with the approach of the Russian IL-38 anti-submarine aircraft to the US carrier George Washington aircraft carrier. The video is published on the FighterBomber channel.

The first fighters were lifted into the air when the aircraft of the Russian Navy was about 16 nautical miles (less than 30 km) from the aircraft carrier. By and large, the approach of the aircraft at such a distance meant the possibility of unhindered shelling of the target in the form of an aircraft carrier and its wing.



At the same time, for the fighters, which were eventually sent to intercept, a lot of difficulties arose. The main one was the speed parameters of the movement of the Russian anti-submarine aircraft.

Fighter F / A-18 Hornet and F-15 had to move at the minimum speed limit in order to escort the IL-38.

Judging by the video, it was especially difficult for the F-15, which was rising from the airfield of one of the US military bases. You can recall a recent video where, due to the difference in speed, the Polish F-16 had to produce a landing gear in the air to intercept Russian aircraft. In the case of the American F-15, this was avoided, however, the fighter had to pretty much lower its tail, slowing down to a minimum.



Another strange thing is that the pair of carrier-based fighters that accompanied the IL-38 "in shifts" took off from an aircraft carrier without missile weapons, which are usually shown when intercepting an air target. Experts have already joked about this, noting that American pilots apparently became great pacifists and decided to act exclusively with a “kind word” and a “prayer in the eyes”.

This belated reaction from the wing of the US Navy suggests that the US side was, to put it mildly, not quite ready for the appearance of a Russian anti-submarine aircraft near its ship. In turn, this may indicate certain problems aboard the aircraft carrier George Washington.

        I'm not a fan of Americans, but if you look closely. AIM-9X hang on the wingtips, under the right nacelle of the AIM-120 AMRAAM engine. Let's not underestimate the enemy. But what they splashed over our plane is their tradition. And I, personally, am glad that they were dunked in IKHNEY, by the ears. am

            Israeli pilots are good specialists, but who told you about CHIC? Is the pilot of the army of Israel? The battles of the Israeli Air Force and the Arab coalition took place over the front line, which was controlled by air defense on both sides of the front line. There was no time for CHIC. When ours pulled up the S-125 and destroyed in some ambushes about 6-7 aircraft (I can’t remember the exact number), the Israeli Air Force engaged in direct support, i.e. beyond the front line did not fly. Accordingly, there was no air combat, as the fighters of the Arab coalition covered important objects (they were to help air defense). And about the guns well remembered.

                Did the Soviet Air Force fight over the Suez Canal in 1970? What is CHIC, shoot down one plane and that's it? Now, if the Israeli aces took into battle only shells for the cannons and left air-to-air missiles at the base. KLA planes were flying across the sky, then another question. And this is better than the North Vietnamese Air Force, tell me, there MIG-17 and MIG-19 with artillery weapons made a rustle among the Americans.

        Modern fighters, due to perfect aerodynamics, have a landing speed of approximately 270-250 km / h. About the same speed and the IL-38, maybe a little less. Believe me, if the F-18 (the first two on the video) is even more or less, then the F-15 with such clusters of pendants felt very uncomfortable.

      Fly out to intercept - this is not a show on the barrel to twist. I’m almost sure that on the aircraft carrier the target was identified as IL-38 and that he probably does not pose a special threat to the same. And if the Russians came up with something tricky again wassat and it was not IL-38, then what? Throw them threats and curses?

    the American side turned out to be mildly not quite ready to the appearance of the Russian anti-submarine aircraft near its ship
    Everything is explained very simply - in the period of the 90s, the beginning of 2000, the Americans too relaxed and accustomed themselves to the idea that no one dares to approach the American ship, let alone fly over it. Therefore, in the situation that arises, they first understand how dare, then begin to make a decision.

      Everything is explained very simply - in the period of the 90s, the beginning of 2000, the Americans too relaxed and accustomed themselves to the idea that no one dares to approach the American ship, let alone fly over it.


      No, it is not explained. Until the 70s, Soviet and American pilots often staged such shows, until the Tu-16 crashed right in front of an American ship. Then there was a treaty that ended this dangerous practice. Accordingly, this action, if it was an action at all, such as with Sushki, and not just passing by, is a provocation.

    This belated reaction from the wing of the US Navy suggests that the American side was, to put it mildly, not quite ready for the appearance of a Russian anti-submarine aircraft near its ship.

    I think that this is fundamentally not the case - they have been flying the plane since the take-off, because the flights of such aircraft are tracked in real time.
    In turn, this may indicate certain problems on board the aircraft carrier George Washington.
    And this is not so - they just know the type of aircraft and its weapons well, that's why they didn’t make much fuss until he came very close to the aircraft carrier group.
    In general, an article in the spirit of "we are very cool, and everyone faints from any of our aircraft," although in my opinion the Americans immediately realized that this was only a duty flight and no more, because they were monitoring the entire situation in the theater of operations, and if something serious, their reaction would be different.

    The ability to maneuver in speed is the most effective opportunity in aviation. Once outside the enemy’s speed range, you can achieve your goals almost unhindered. As a matter of fact, it was the realization of this indisputable fact that made the American military order F-22 for themselves, carefully play with F-35, and even deal with outright stupid things with various kinds of convertiplanes. Speed ​​range from 100 to 250 km / h gives great opportunities!
    All military aircraft gradually slipped into fighter games. Everyone wants to be the fastest! Most somehow ignore the fact that the plane is not a device for setting records and funny catch-ups. According to the good, it’s time for the fighter to die out altogether - its niche is completely occupied by rocketry. Fighter has nothing to do over the battlefield! Ah, how it scratches the soul of aerobatics lovers at public expense ...
    A plane, like a ship, must perform a combat mission. But this task should work to win the war, and not to increase the personal account of the brave pilot. First of all, airplanes should help other branches of the armed forces and cause damage to the enemy. Does figuring in high heaven contribute to the achievement of these goals with the destruction of other such flyers? Alas, in a very, very small degree.
    But aviation is urgently needed in matters of destroying the ground enemy, primarily its trained manpower (the main value of the war is approximately equal), its warehouses, factories, other numerous infrastructure, the defeat of ships and ships ... Are high speed characteristics? Alas.
    The detection and accurate defeat of trained enemy manpower from top speeds is either not possible at all, or it is possible at such a cost that no one in your economy can pull. Pour square kilometers of sea of ​​fire to destroy a group of 4-6 people - which even Americans do not pull, as they become more and more convinced.
    Fly up to warehouses, factories, places of concentration at a VERY high speed, such that the air defense systems can’t cope? For an airplane, this is not possible. Not at all possible. Basically. To do this, there is a hypersonic weapon in which there is no place for the pilot - the overload is too high. So here, not too high speed is more useful. And the folds of the terrain will help, and maneuverability cannot be compared, and the weight of the car is several times less, so there is real, not mythical stealth, and the price in the end, which allows you to get twenty light and dangerous cars where they’re doing one now, is paradoxically different dangerous for the enemy ...
    But all this I write, of course, in vain. Fans of flying and setting a record-two, if not themselves, so through subordinates, are invincible. So they will order high-speed junk. By the way, speed is an excellent indicator, understandable ... go and prove that your lightweight and maneuverable vehicle is really needed1 There’s no war of the appropriate scale ... But then the PRM TTX showed how fast it was! And the power! A weapon! Ugh ...

    Judging by the video, it was especially difficult for the F-15, which was rising from the airfield of one of the US military bases. You can recall a recent video where, due to the difference in speed, the Polish F-16 had to produce a landing gear in the air to intercept Russian aircraft. In the case of the American F-15, this was avoided, however, the fighter had to pretty much lower its tail, slowing down to a minimum.

    Lord, guys, and in which Institute for Noble Maidens such "specialists" are trained ?!
    You mixed two problems in a heap, giving out enchanting nonsense!
    Why the Polish F-16 released the chassis, I can only guess - most likely, this is a problem with the preparation of the flight crew.
    Yes, the landing gear has a very high resistance (it is comparable to the resistance of an aircraft in the "flight" configuration), that is, it is possible to brake sharply by releasing the landing gear. But there is a risk of damaging this very valuable mechanism. Therefore, such a "trick" can be done only after the plane has already decelerated - but in some other way. (Perhaps the F-16 has some kind of air braking problems, but somehow I haven't heard of them, although in aviation since the early 1980s.)
    But chassis release does not solve the problem of providing steady flight at low speed - here, on the one hand, the engine needs to be throttled (and the F-16 should not have any problems with this), and on the other hand, the aircraft needs, in principle, to have a sufficiently low minimum evaluation speed (and here it is quite possible - F -16 to our "bazoviks" like the Il-38 loses (but this problem chassis release does not solve in principle!)).
    As for the F-15 (there, by the way, the spark turned out for some reason ... (you see, the flight of the IL-38 was stupidly slept on Okinawa)), then yes! - The plane is not the most maneuverable, and it has to "turn up its nose", but not in order to better decelerate, but in order to, by increasing the angle of attack, ensure a flight at the lowest possible speed. By the way, the F-15 flew quite confidently, so here you shouldn't be too jerky (it's another matter that the Il-38 could probably fly even slower, and the Oryol could hardly).

    It is time to know that the Americans know that the IL - 38 is not at war with aircraft carriers. Therefore, the pilots were sent just to see what else he would do, except for the flight. You never know what. Therefore, missiles did not catch. Why waste fuel in vain to overcome excess air resistance, and why carry extra weight? Do not count the adversary as fools.
