Consequences of the joint use of "Bayraktars" and jamming Mi-8MTPB in Donbas. What should Donetsk and Moscow prepare for?

101

As the first week of December 2020 showed, a very gloomy forecast of possible scenarios for the development of the operational-tactical situation in the Donbass theater of operations, announced on November 26 by the first commander of the DPR Armed Forces, the permanent leader and curator of the Novorossiya public movement and military expert Igor Strelkov in the next informational release -analytical program "Results of the week with Igor Strelkov" for the "YouTube" -channel "Roy-TV", found weighty confirmation in a number of events in the military-political, operational-tactical and military-technical situation, which occurred at the filing of the Ukrainian "War parties".

In particular, it would be extremely naive to assume that against the background of the internal political and media chaos that erupted in the United States in connection with the inevitable ascent to the post of head of the White House by former US Vice President and Democrat Joseph Biden (with the subsequent appointment of hitherto unknown candidates - "dark horses "For the posts of the heads of the US defense and foreign affairs agencies with purely individual approaches to the formation of an updated geostrategic vector of Washington), especially" hot heads "in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not undertake another attempt to destabilize the situation in the Donbas theater of operations, provoking a new round of large-scale escalation in the coming months.



This is precisely what is happening today with the active military-technical, operational-tactical and information assistance of Whitehall (the British Defense Department) and the US Air Force command.

Details of the most probable scenario for the development of the operational-tactical situation in the Donbass theater of operations


Thus, the memorandum on military-technical cooperation concluded between London and Kiev on October 8, 2020, as well as the earlier airborne landing from the cargo compartments of the British C-130Js at the training ground near the settlement of the item. Kapustino (Mykolaiv region) hundreds of servicemen of the 16th Airborne Assault Brigade of the British Army within the framework of the Joint Efforts - 2020 exercises, contributed to the emergence in the limbic shares of the most ambitious high-ranking representatives of the defense department and the general staff of the "independent" powerful motivational driver for the development and possible implementation of much more sophisticated tactics of offensive "throws" immediately on some critical operational areas of the Donbas theater of operations.

As for the information and operational-tactical support from the US Air Force command, here we are talking about providing a comprehensive situational awareness of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about any actions of the units of the 1st and 2nd army corps of the People's Militia of the LDNR both near the contact line and in depth of the rear zones of the Donbass theater of operations.

This possibility is achieved through the implementation of detailed optoelectronic and all-weather radar reconnaissance of the surface area of ​​this theater of operations using multispectral long-focus optoelectronic systems SYERS-B / C and airborne side-looking AFAR radars AN / ZPY-2 MP-RTIP strategic drones RQ-4B "Global Hawk", providing the classification and identification of armored vehicles, artillery and air defense thanks to the operation in synthetic aperture mode (SAR).

An eloquent confirmation of the likely implementation of the above forecast is the sudden transfer of batteries and rocket artillery battalions (ReADn) of the MLRS BM-21 to the key operational areas of the Donbass theater of operations (Gorlovskoe, Donetsk, Telmanovskoe and Novoazovskoe), recorded by the local population and the intelligence structures of the NM LPR 122- / 152-mm cannon artillery, as well as additional mechanized units. With the aim of the probable implementation of artillery preparation and the start of offensive operations together with the 35th and 36th separate brigades of the marines (OBRMP), as well as numerous volunteer paramilitary formations, including the Azov regiment.

Also, batteries of 82- and 120-mm BM-37 and 2B11 mortars, which have recently been used by Ukrainian formations to strike at the fortified areas of the 1st DPR Army Corps in the vicinity of the settlements of Opytnoe, Leninskoe and Vodyanoe, were also put into operation.

Fortunately, the "counter-battery" response in some episodes did take place ... This has been reported by the Telegram channel "Yasinovataya Donbass in the Line of Fire" and the VK community "Militia Summaries" over the past few days.

The presence of the Bayraktar TB2 strike-reconnaissance UAV and Mi-8PPA / MTPB helicopters at the disposal of the Air Force of Ukraine is capable of nullifying the combat stability of the units of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the LDNR


Meanwhile, special concern in this situation is caused by the active purchase by the defense department of the "Nezalezhnaya" and the probable use in the Donbass theater of military operations of the Turkish unmanned attack reconnaissance systems "Bayraktar TB2", developed by the "Baykar Makina" company and having passed a very successful baptism of fire in Syria. Libyan, Karabakh theater of operations.

Despite the fact that the number of operational-tactical shock-reconnaissance UAVs "Bayraktar TB2" ("Tactical Block 2") reaches only 6 units. (2 complexes consisting of 2 command posts and three drones attached to each PBU with a total ammunition load of high-precision UAB MAM-L and anti-tank guided missiles L-UMTAS about 200 units), even such a small "reinforced link" of "Bayraktars" offensive orders to motorized infantry units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the possibility of a rapid breakthrough of the first line of defense of the 1st Army Corps of the DPR NM in several critical areas of the Donbass theater of military operations.

Possessing the ability to operate at altitudes of 7800-8200 m (outside the high-altitude lines of destruction of the self-propelled air defense systems 1K9M35 "Strela-3" and "Osa-AKM", which are 10 and 3500 m, respectively, in service with the 5000st AK NM DNR, respectively), as well as - / TV-low-level OLPK MX-15D, a link of 4-6 drones "Bayraktar TB2" is able to freely inflict a preemptive strike not only on towed howitzers, self-propelled guns and MLRS of the 1st AK NM DNR deployed for "counter-battery response", but also on a very limited number of counter-battery artillery reconnaissance radars 1L219 "Zoo", which are in service with the Separate Artillery Brigade "Kalmius" and other units.

Moreover, the coordinates of the initial location of the Zoos, as well as their operational deployment, can be obtained by the Bayraktar operators not only through the Wescam MX-15D onboard optoelectronic complexes, which have mediocre capabilities in difficult meteorological conditions, but also from their American colleagues-operators UAV RQ-4B, using the AN / ZPY-2 MP-RTIP onboard radar. The loss of the Zoo counter-battery radars will overnight reduce the effectiveness of the counter-battery warfare carried out by the surviving batteries of the Grad / Uragan MLRS, towed Msta-B and Hyacinth-B howitzers, etc.

An impressive range of troubles (in conjunction with the use of Bayraktars) can also be experienced by the use by the Air Force of the "independent" well-known Mi-8PPA / MTPB electronic warfare helicopters, the restoration program of which was hastily launched in 2015-2017.

Equipped with multi-band (decimeter S- and centimeter G / H / X-bands) SPS-63/66 "Azalea" and "Bizon" electronic countermeasures complexes based on low-element AFAR, helicopters of this family are capable of suppressing the receiving paths of centimeter radar detectors of self-propelled air defense systems Osa-AKM (several times reducing their already negligible detection range of approaching Bayraktar, Su-25 attack aircraft and other air attack weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces), counter-battery radar Zoo-1 and mobile radars of artillery reconnaissance Aistenok.

All of the above factors will significantly reduce the likelihood of successful interruption of offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without indirect or direct military-technical support from the Russian Armed Forces.

      No matter how we watch, modern electronic warfare systems and ZARK, capable of counteracting the systems listed in the article, will not appear "from dampness", as will the combat crews of operators working on them.

      Therefore, I think the title correctly asked the question - "What should Donetsk and Moscow prepare for?"
      With us the question is clear, we have a war, we just need to prepare for a strike, with Moscow it is more difficult.

            Maybe the "colleagues" will fight themselves?

            If "colleagues" poke their heads around, then there will be a big European nix with the potential to grow into a world one.

            This has been said more than once and is repeated regularly.

            The political decision has been made and there is no refusal.

            There is no military solution to the conflict.

            Russia said unequivocally.

            "Colleagues" heard and accepted for execution.

              - Americans have achieved their goals in dill
              1. The vast territory of Russian lands is not controlled by Moscow.
              2. The enterprises of the military-industrial complex were destroyed.

              He only thinks that these are Ukrainian enterprises. All these factories worked for the Russian defense industry.
              The cost of restoring all lost production is high.

              3. The return of the DPR and LPR to the composition of dill entails the potential for the restoration of industrial production in these lands. Dill industrial production is possible in the Russian economic zone. The Americans don't need this.

              Slow conflict. The Americans recaptured the money that they spent on this project because Russian costs are orders of magnitude higher.

                Here I think it is necessary to clarify that we specifically supported these enterprises in Ukraine, because they had nothing to pay for energy resources, that is why we ourselves created a problem out of the blue thanks to Yeltsin. And in fact, back in 1995, the Ministry of Defense reported to the drunk that all production for strategic weapons was transferred to Russia, and the remaining enterprises in other republics could also be excluded from the list of suppliers within a few years by transferring orders to our enterprises. But this drunk didn’t even agree to this, which is why we didn’t develop some of the components of military equipment.
                So now we can't even stutter about connecting their enterprises to our order - it would be a big mistake.

For two months I searched the Internet for equipment: I found an American glider with a wingspan of 6 meters with a payload of 40 kg, navigation systems (GLONASS), software, color and infrared television, laser target designation, communications and control. The total cost is 300 tr. (a glider with a helm station, but without vehicles). But it never came to assembly: the sponsor let us down. And they didn't have enough money.

      And how to keep it out? Does LDNR have its own developed military-industrial complex or a full-fledged budget? What "blows with the wind" will be answered! LDNR can only hope, taking into account how VVP answered the question of the ukropagandist Tsymbalyuk, they say, where did the separatists get Russian weapons from? To which he replied (not literally), - "Tanks and heavy artillery" appear in hot spots of the planet from structures of states that sympathize with one or another party to the conflict. "

          And we have nowhere to go, since we are so bogged down in Donbass. That is why Putin absolutely correctly put the question squarely in front of Poroshenko - if you try to seize it by force, we will strike with the power of our armed forces, because we will not allow to destroy the Russian people. Poroshenko silently swallowed, but the comedian will just put it in his pants if we only apply our videoconferencing to the painful points of Ukraine. So, of course, they will cock, but they will not reach full-scale hostilities - they know about the consequences.

        Considering the specifics of countering UAVs and suppressing electronic warfare, systems with superior parameters should be involved.

    and it was worth for the sake of this last conclusion at the end of the article to write something about which everyone has long known and understood.
    But the APU was prepared not to fight with the Donbass, but with Russia, therefore, the air defense in the form of beeches was pulled up to the line of contact. There are those who believe that Ukraine and Russia have been at war in Donbass for 6 years now. he pours into his ears and brings up children in summer camps for young Bandera.

    the notorious Mi-8PPA / MTPB electronic warfare helicopters, the restoration program of which was hastily launched in 2015-2017.


    frank old stuff, and as for the REB, it will "work" in the same way as the "POINT-U" "worked" in its time, so the APU hopes were pinned on this, but the hopes were not justified.

    You can act like this. But it is better if you use remote precision mining complexes with the creation of a passage for your equipment. The mining complexes should be covered by the Lever-AV helicopter electronic warfare, which in turn should be protected by the Yak-130 fighter. With such a cluster (mining machines, electronic warfare Lever, Yak-130), you can move in any direction if you use mines with the possibility of remote detonation. That will ensure the destruction of all enemy manpower in the offensive zone.

    Against the swarms of drones, fundamentally different missiles are needed than those that are in service now: they should be reusable - not explode together with the target (which may be much cheaper than the missile itself), but shoot it down, say, with explosive shells from a cannon, then go to the next target in the swarm, destroy it - and so on - until you run out of ammunition or run out of fuel. And when they came to an end - return to their base and descend by parachute (or, in a more advanced version, simply sit vertically). For this, the engine of this "rocket", of course, must be "long-playing" - that is, not a rocket, but an aviation one - as a counteraction to the swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles, it will be the very thing. Such a defensive weapon will deprive the use of drone swarms of all sense: swarms will be destroyed to zero by not very expensive and at the same time reusable "missiles", which will be required several times less than drones in a swarm.
    More details about this in my article on Zen (available on request: "The idea of ​​a reliable and cost-effective means of countering drone swarms").

    In the meantime, there is no such means, fighter aircraft must be projected onto the Donbass to protect against shock and reconnaissance drones.

    As for the information and operational-tactical support from the US Air Force command, here we are talking about providing a comprehensive situational awareness of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about any actions of the units of the 1st and 2nd army corps of the People's Militia of the LDNR both near the contact line and in the depth of the rear zones of the Donbass theater of operations This opportunity is achieved through the implementation of detailed optical-electronic and all-weather radar reconnaissance of the surface area of ​​this theater of operations using multispectral long-focus optical-electronic complexes SYERS-B / C and airborne AFAR side-scan radars AN / ZPY-2 MP-RTIP strategic drones RQ-4B "Global Hawk",

    This will already be a different conflict, level and intensity more. That is why the RQ-4B "Global Hawk" is unlikely to come up to that distance to see something.
    In general, the question is interesting, has Ukraine received enough funds for the war and will be able to sustain it economically? I doubt very much

    Moscow definitely shouldn't worry.
    And the DPR and LPR will figure it out on their own,
    without a nanny.

    Well, if Strelkov is already a great strategist, then our affairs are really deplorable. Dear enough to carry the dregs, it's already a shame.

    It seems that they agreed that the Turks are building a plant for the production of drones in Ukraine.

    Just openly spitting on all opinions, redeploy effective air defense and fire weapons to firing positions and everyone will slowly be blown away.

    Finally, ours will begin after that to develop intelligence and command facilities, which have practically not been developed since the times of the USSR.

    So what?
    It is clear that the mobilized army of Ukraine is stronger than the army corps of the LPR and without the Bayraktar.
    Russia, through the lips of the president, warned Ukraine: if you stick your head around, you will lose statehood.
    ...
    Nothing has changed since then, Bayraktars, helicopters, and even the Unclean One with all his army.
    The deal will be with Russia!
    ...
    And the alarmist who escaped from Slavyansk would have kept quiet better. The price of his words is small.
