Antisubmarine Tu-142 of the Northern Fleet will be involved in patrolling the Baltic

Long-range anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142 North fleet will strengthen monitoring of the situation in the Baltic Sea. The decision in principle to use Tu-142 for patrolling the Baltic has already been made. Reported by "News" with reference to sources in the Ministry of Defense.

The Russian military department plans to attract long-range anti-submarine Tu-142 aircraft to patrol the Baltic Sea. This decision is being made against the backdrop of more frequent visits by NATO and US ships to the Baltic. Previously, these aircraft from the Northern Fleet mainly patrolled the Atlantic and the Arctic.

The Ministry of Defense clarifies that the task of the aircraft will not be constant patrolling of this water area, the Tu-142 will be involved only in special cases, when necessary. Test flights of Tu-142 over the Baltic have already taken place, pilots of anti-submarine aviation The Northern Fleet was involved in the Ocean Shield 2020 inter-fleet exercises, which took place in the Baltic Sea in July-August.

It is noted that these aircraft, which have undergone modernization, are equipped with modern reconnaissance equipment and an aiming system.

The Tu-142 long-range anti-submarine aircraft was created on the basis of the Tu-95 strategic bomber. The Tu-142M3 version was put into service in 1985, was serially built until 1994, at present the aircraft are being modernized with the installation of new modern equipment. The maximum flight range exceeds 12 km, the flight speed with a mass of 000 tons at an altitude of 138 meters is up to 7000 km / h. The flight duration is 855 hours. The planes are equipped with means of detecting submarines, as well as missiles, bombs and mines.

This decision is not from a good life. The airfield on Kos was crushed, the planes were sawn. There is simply no anti-submarine aviation at the DKBF

"She drowned ..." (C) Like many other things. Now "urya-skakuas" of the minuses will stick to you and explain that "with the world on a string ...", ugh, "with outstretched hand" - there are "karasho" and "# vyfsevreti".

The airfield on Kos was destroyed, the planes were sawn.

Exactly. Unfortunately. Not otherwise crushed and sawed!

[moreman78]

You're right. But the old men of the anti-submarine Tu-142 remained ONE ESCADRILIA in the North! This is just out ... - are they going to chase her across all fleets now?

[Galleon]

Well, what do you want? Why and who needs coverage of the situation in the North Atlantic, the fleet is increasingly coastal. And here is such an optimistic headline, and even in pursuit it will be possible to write how our planes were scared in the Baltic. It is bitter here not even that there was only one squadron left for the anti-submarine Tu, but that they deliberately threw and framed all the submariners who serve as strategists - they are practically not protected by anyone if they leave the base. Surface fleet? Naval aviation? Anti-submarine forces at least OVR?
And what to do with that lighted environment? It's easier to arrange this

[aries2200]

The airfield on the spit could not accept such aircraft (it is for hydro aircraft), but Chkalovsk near Kaliningrad (suburb) 3 years as the runway was modernized for that 160 and that 95 .. you are welcome

[The Siberian barber]

Yes, I couldn't, but what was the need to disassemble it "into plates" ??
Again, it could have been modernized.
About Chkalovsk: I do not envy the residents))) They began to fly a lot and often

No - this is from the word "AT ALL", or from the word"I think so"? Let's define it! Agree - there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between these two concepts!
PS No! God forbid! I'm not even going to say that with Anti-submarine defense (including - Aviation) in the Baltic - just so "super-duper"! I didn't even THINK!
But! Your statement ..... Let's face it .... A little ... NOT THAT !!!

[The Siberian barber]

Well, why "not that" ??)
Do you have information about the presence of anti-submarine aircraft on the BF ??

Do you have information that it is NOT there (from the word "in general"?).

[The Siberian barber]

In my opinion, no
But now it will be, based on the news under discussion)

[newcomer]

It is getting hot in the cold Baltic.

[cniza]

Yeah, they also began to visit the Barents Sea ...

[newcomer]

Hello Victor. Hmmm. Near the Crimea, the shaves are swarming.

[cniza]

Greetings!

Yes, they decided to tease and probe us ...

[newcomer]

I don't really like it_ it's crazy money to rattle with pieces of iron, they know how to count money. In a word, if in the first act there is a gun hanging on the wall, then in the second ...

[cniza]

And who will like it, it’s not even about the costs, but the fact that the "gun" can shoot ...

[Same lech]

The Black Sea, the Barents Sea, the Baltic Sea ... south, west, north ... the directions of activation of NATO members are expected ... unlike the times of the USSR, NATO truth is already rattling weapons directly at our borders .... bad ... our troops have been withdrawn from the GDR ... there are no buffer zones.

You need to start with the fact that the USSR was destroyed in vain.

To be more precise, this is not a "collapse", but a counter-revolution with dire consequences for the Soviet people and the peoples of the whole world.

This is not a bad answer to their visit to our shores ...

[Rushnairfors]

It's a pity that only remnants of the once powerful MA SF now remain, if I'm not mistaken, SF tu142 only in Kipelovo and the numerical strength there is relatively small, and in addition to the Baltic, they also have areas for patrolling. Of course, I do not pretend to be the ultimate truth, but we used to fly regularly from Soltsy to patrol on Tu22-pair + reserve board, in my opinion it is much cheaper than driving such colossus for patrol, even if it is better to work for their intended purpose, "pick out" the submarine our friends from NATa

[cniza]

This is true, we have a lot to restore and build up, otherwise ...

[Piramidon]

Quote: Rushnairfors

if I'm not mistaken, SF tu142 only in Kipelovo and remained

They were in the Northern Fleet and were only in Kipelovo. But there was a division, and a squadron remained.

[Rushnairfors]

Yeah, thanks for the clarification, but weren't they in Lakhta? Or have the 22s always been there? I am just relatively young, and I do not know all the airfields of the great and mighty, mainly from the old wars

[Piramidon]

Quote: Rushnairfors

and in Lakhta weren't they?

No, it was not. On the Northern Fleet, they were based in Kipelovo 35th PLAD (now the 73rd PLAD is left of it), at the Pacific Fleet 310th PLAD in Khorol, and later in Kamenny Brook. They did not even use Lakhta in the Northern Fleet as a jump airfield. Only Olenya and Severomorsk-1

[bober1982]

Flight duration - 9 hours

A slight inaccuracy in the article, the flight duration of the Tu-142 is almost twice as long, 9 * hours is the time of patrolling.

[cniza]

Probably, it is correct that real performance characteristics are not laid out, but on the other hand, this is no longer a secret ...

[bober1982]

Quote: cniza

on the other hand, this is no longer a secret ...

Tu-142 was created on the basis of Tu-95RTs, what secrets can there be, all performance characteristics are well known.

[Piramidon]

Quote: bober1982

Tu-95RTs and Tu-142 are quite different machines. Various not only in "stuffing", but even in the glider.

[bober1982]

Tu-95RTs and Tu-142 are quite different machines.

I don’t claim that the planes are the same, one of them was made on the basis of the other.

[Andy]

question - why? the gulf of Finland is 80 km wide ... and the whole sea is a puddle. il38 is enough. and another question, what did they take under control of the waters in the North? I think NATO members are quietly roaming there. tired of showy booths

[Piramidon]

Quote: Andy

question - why?

Not from a good life. One squadron Tu-142, available, needs to cover both the North and the Baltic.

[Olddetractor]

I wonder how much Tu-142 is left in the aviation of the fleet?

[iouris]

Tu-142 in the Baltic - it would be funny if it were not so sad. They were created to work in the Indian Ocean. By the way, it is interesting how the capabilities of the search systems and equipment of the complex have changed since the 1970s. We must make our way to the surrounded Kaliningrad. This will remove many problems. (A problem is a problem that has no solution.)

Who is Izvestiya. A source of the Ministry of Defense over a cup of tea in the evening, my wife and whether I will call the news, and whether I will tell the plans of MO.Durdom Chamomile. : drinks .:

[Tektor]

I would also envisage a Be-12 in an anti-submarine version for the Baltic. Dalniks are far away, but these can resolve issues more quickly.

[Piramidon]

Are they still there?

[Elephant]

Does the Baltic Fleet itself lack aircraft for patrolling?

[Bez 310]

Stupid note!
Now, if the range is 12000 km, then why is the duration 9 hours?
How is patrolling? Aerial reconnaissance of ships at sea with radar and
visually? Or search for submarines at the turn or in a given area? Rather
everything is all chatter and demo flights will be performed
"to spite the enemies." Will knock out the resource from the remnants of the submarine. Yearning...

[Piramidon]

Quote: Bez 310

Please note that this is an ANTI-WATER aircraft. One of the methods for detecting a submarine is dropping buoys in the area of ​​its intended location, followed by patrolling this area and receiving a signal from them.

[Bez 310]

Quote: Piramidon

it is an ANTI-WATER aircraft.

Seriously?
I know a little how to use such a plane,
so do not strain, and do not distort our
favorite expression: "staging and controlling
buoy fields ".

Tu-142 should be bought from the Indians.

Got badly in partners --- B52 over Ukraine-today Osprey with the marines-Baltic is crammed by NATO as well as the Black Sea-about the Quiet and there is nothing to say-you won't get out at all-at the head base of the Northern Fleet Siful grazes, Georgia under the Americans-Afghan too-can only North Arctic not at gunpoint - if obamobusheklinton mafia takes power - ass will
