The Northern Fleet carried out the first rotation of the MiG-31BM interceptors on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago

The Northern Fleet has rotated long-range interceptors MiG-31BM, which are on alert in the Arctic. This was reported by the press service fleet.

According to the report, the first rotation of the MiG-31BM crews took place under the leadership of the commander of the Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Northern Fleet, Lieutenant General Alexander Otroshchenko, who personally piloted the MiG-31BM interceptor from the airfield on the Kola Peninsula to the Rogachevo airfield on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.

The first change of flight personnel and MiG-31BM fighters of a separate mixed air regiment took place at the Rogachevo airfield of the Northern Fleet on the Yuzhny island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. A month ago, they took up an experimental combat duty to protect the state border of the Russian Federation in the airspace of the Arctic.

- Reported the press service.

It is specified that the pilots are on alert for one month.

Recall that in mid-January, on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, a solemn ritual of intercession on experimental combat duty of the MiG-31BM pilots to protect the state border in the Arctic took place. The pilots are on duty together with the anti-aircraft gunners. There is an anti-aircraft missile regiment of the 45th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense of the Northern Fleet, armed with S-400 air defense systems.

It is noted that no violations of the border were noticed during the month of the experimental combat duty.

More air defense and military forces and military forces are needed to cover the north (where missiles with nuclear warheads are supposed to fly from US territory, as well as their bombers along the shortest route).

[2 Level Advisor]

so rockets in space will fly, they are ballistic, only against bombers it makes sense ..

[mojohed2012]

So "in theory and insider information" the MIG-31 was sharpened for anti-satellite weapons for the future, and on the way are the S-500 air defense systems, which, it seems, are capable of shooting down objects in near space.

[yehat2]

Quote: mojohed2012

seem to be able to shoot down objects in the close

Recently, several articles have appeared that raise a big question about the possibility of such an interception, so it is difficult to assert such a possibility without practical testing.
In the United States, 3 out of about 15 such tests ended in real interception - 1 from an aircraft and 2 from a ship. but more than 10 missiles missed. The probability of hitting even a stationary satellite in low orbit, the easiest possible target, is less than 20%. In the atmospheric ballistic trajectory, especially in its second part, the Americans have huge problems not only to get into, but even to simply determine the position of the target - recently tests of North Korean missiles have shown this. And what about the efficiency c 500?
Perhaps there is a theoretical one, but what about a real possibility?

[yehat2]

from the north now the main threat is cruise missiles, more precisely, whole clouds of cruise missiles and reconnaissance aircraft. The MiG-31 can intercept and patrol them, but there is one but.
One Arlie Burke is capable of launching about 25-40 of these missiles. And even the MiG-31 flight will not have enough ammunition to shoot down everything, and after all, not everyone will be hit. Those. question about the efficiency of these machines.
In addition, it is an active defense system that requires a lot of funds.
And the patrol mig-31 should be gradually replaced with cheaper and more effective means - stationary radars, AWACS aircraft, missile bases, etc.

In order for cruise missiles and scouts to appear in this region, targets for them must appear there. Besides the infrastructure of Gazprom and Novatek, there is no nifig there. What is there to defend in this hole? I worked there in the late 2000s, early 2010s, people in those years pre-sanctioned fled from there, now it's full of stars ... dec.
Again the war of the General Staff with windmills ...

how long did you work there? Where does this nonsense come from. The significance of the landfill has decreased, of course, after 90. The moratorium prohibits testing. There was a period of desolation, so it was all over the country, I was in the 90s, I left there and all these years I got used to it. 7 years of experience, the period covered a decent amount (80-83 and 86-90). In recent years, they combed their hair. They built a shopping center instead of 5 stores, the houses were repaired (let me remind you that at 90 after the accident, the houses were defrosted on the water pipe).
News for me that there are facilities of Gazprom and Novoiek there? which ones on NZ specifically? It never happened. They plan to organize coal mining ... but that's the plan.
as for the protection of the sky, in Pogachevo there were always PYO. At one time they were commanded by General Malikov Anatoly. He is alive, but in old age. I can betray greetings from colleagues, through friends. Except neba, there are two seas, and besides RS-planes of reconnaissance planes flying regularly in my time, submarines roam. And even the buoys are thrown off. It was possible to disassemble this, they brought us to gut it. and boats can carry weapons too. But boats and planes were always under control, intercepted, photographed our aircraft and even shook our fists. for the duration of the CP passage, radio silence was declared.

But what needs to be developed - so that is not even in the plans - the detection and counteraction of nuclear submarines.

The problem is that for the commander of the Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Northern Fleet, flight is an absolutely non-core thing; his task is to control the actions of units and formations entrusted to him, and not to personally participate in combat in the style of the unforgettable Kliment Efremovich.
If a general goes on a combat sortie in a combat situation, then the command and control system has collapsed and command and control has been lost. Because in a different situation he will not have time to fly.

[nznz]

agree with you. The man who hollows why, why was not there. And the flyers need to try there. And it's not the runway, there is a stormy weather and wind, there were cases when heavy planes were demolished and blinded by a squall ... they flew off the runway, broke off the runway. And it is very important that the commander who sends his guys on risky flights does not make stupid mistakes, relying on theory. I am far from aviation, but in our work there have been many cases when the new leader, an arrogant turkey, created dangerous situations. until I tried it and calmed down. It's good that he left quickly, the team did not accept him. And he did not listen to old people with experience (old people by experience).

So that the plane could continue to land in cloud cover from 100 meters above the ground and above.
And they fly at any opportunity. Moreover, in this case it is the redeployment of a certain amount of equipment. He is most likely determined by the senior of the whole event.

Quote: FRoman1984

Again the war of the General Staff with windmills ...

Well, firstly, there are targets for an attack, although there are few, but the main thing is that this is just a place where missiles can fly to more important points. The range of cruise missiles is not weak.
for example, an attack on Krasnoyarsk or Novosibirsk is quite real. In addition, from there, you can strike at our missile forces.
Well, the last, elementary destruction of the Transsib is also unpleasant. For more information on the goals, see the American dropshot plans.

[nznz]

all the time it seemed to me that the main and priority tasks of the attacking side were the suppression of launch pads, from where something could fly. There is no such thing on NZ. Transsib, well, it is possible, but why, if at the same time the missiles will fly in return. These are secondary targets designed for a protracted war. But it will not be. There will be an exchange of missiles from all means. Since the Russian Federation has adjusted its military doctrine and introduced the concept of a preemptive strike, it’s generally difficult, what will the amers have after a preventive strike, and will there be enough for such non-primary purposes .. agree the test site, now and always, is only a test site, not an attack weapon. Air defense - well, probably. But they are also counted for interception and not weapons of attack. So why shoot at them until the launching shatkhas and submarines and aircraft are destroyed. Will get it for everyone.

[yehat2]

the essence of the first blow is to cover everything at once.
the Russian Federation has a strategic advantage in that part of the infrastructure is deep in the rear.
and this meant that tactical short- and medium-range missiles could not quickly cover all targets
if shelling opens from the northern coast and part of independent bases on the territory of the former republics, then almost the entire territory is covered within 15-25 minutes
plus ballistic missiles.
and the main function of the mig-31 is to seriously complicate the attack on deep territories in Asia - this aircraft is not able to adequately protect the European part
But the times when we could only wait for a pitiful handful of bombers, which had passed by the teeth of the moment-31.
now the main threat from the north is about 10-20 arsenal of submarine and surface spikes, ready to launch several hundred cruise missiles and about two hundred ballistic trident3. This is why the United States is seeking "free shipping" along the Northern Sea Route. They simply have no other purpose of staying there.
And for such tasks, the moment-31 is poorly suited. Much better is seen the banal IL-76 in conjunction with the A-100 or the Mig-31, loaded with fifty anti-aircraft missiles or a network of s300, s-400, s-500 missile batteries. And such projects were already being worked out before the collapse of the USSR.
