Russian front-line bombers Su-34 will cover the Northern Sea Route

71

Russian front-line bombers will cover the Northern Sea Route; the decision to deploy these aircraft at Arctic airfields has already been made.

The military department will place a squadron of Su-34 in the Arctic, they will be deployed on the Franz Josef Land archipelago and the New Siberian Islands. Airfields "Nagurskaya" on the land of Alexandra and "Temp", located on Kotelny Island, are preparing for the deployment of aircraft. Currently, the necessary infrastructure is being prepared for the bombers, including the construction of closed warm hangars. In addition, parking lots for Il-78 tanker aircraft are envisaged, which will have to provide combat duty for the Su-34.



According to the plans of the Ministry of Defense, which were shared with us "News", citing sources in the military, it is planned that the Su-34 will enhance the capabilities of the combat aviation in the Arctic. It is assumed that front-line bombers will be able to conduct patrols, reconnaissance and strike at ground and sea targets, covering the Northern Sea Route.

In March of this year, it was reported that the Ministry of Defense had made a decision to test the Su-34, Su-35 and Be-200 in Arctic conditions. To this end, Su-34s were sent to the Arctic from the Shagol airfield in the Chelyabinsk region, the Be-200 was tested on Franz Josef Land, but there has been no information about the Su-35 so far.

Note that the Ministry of Defense pays great attention to strengthening Russia's position in the Arctic. To date, most of the northern airfields have been reactivated and reconstructed, becoming all-season. The MiG-31 and S-400 air defense systems were put on alert in the region.

          In 2015, to the 60th anniversary of FSUE RFNC-VNIITF im. Academician E.I. Zababakhina ”, which is, without exaggeration, the federal center for the development of nuclear weapons, has issued a commemorative booklet.

          The printed issue, which has become available only now on the Web, describes the history of the formation of the scientific center, and also expresses gratitude to its main persons.

          The front-line bomber Su-34, armed with 10 simulators of tactical thermonuclear bombs (IAB), adorns the cover.

          In the summer, the presence of icebreakers will not be critical, but the summer is short there, but in the winter, i.e. 9 months without them in any way. Navigation must be year-round, otherwise it is not profitable.

        The question is posed incorrectly ... "Walk", maybe no one can (and cannot ...). But even now there are enough people who want to "prevent" this movement. And to destroy these intentions, already on the "distant approaches" (taking into account the length and depth of the guarded and defended perimeter), the Su-34 is quite capable. As knowledgeable people write, "... for XNUMX/XNUMX SEARCH, DETECTION, CLASSIFICATION and DESTRUCTION of surface and underwater targets in any weather conditions in the presence of active electronic countermeasures."

This is not only a matter of the Northern Sea Route, but also of covering the areas of combat deployment of our SSBNs. And the Su-34 is capable of loitering for a long time and carrying specialized containers, including radar. For the absence of AWACS aircraft, this is at least some kind of solution to the issue.

              And what do you think - the navigator's understanding, why in those latitudes and on those islands there are strike aircraft?
              Bomb the hummocks?
              Or is it because the new RLR, RTR and FRR pods are primarily integrated on these aircraft?

                      No, it is not.
                      In this case, the Su-24 pair did not carry out a "training attack", but with great difficulty found the target with the previously known coordinates. But this is not the point, but the fact that the Su-24 cannot inflict any damage to the AVM at all.
                      To be honest, I had to strain to remember what the conversation was originally about. So, it turned out that we started talking about the use of the Su-34 in the Arctic, to protect the NSR.
                      Since it is not at all clear from whom the NSR should be protected, if no one attacks the NSR, we can conclude that the Defense Ministry leadership has finally wondered if we are too "bulging" in the Arctic? And suggestions for the use of recovered airfields that nobody needed - we will plant MiG-31, Su-34, and we can also plant "strategists" ...
                      And why all this is needed, the experts from the Voennoye Obozreniye website will justify, they don't care what to argue about, the process itself is more important to them. We are not talking about the qualifications of these experts; they all know how to use Google, a mouse and a keyboard.

                        Then, - you "catch up" ... As a sofa expert, a beginner, I dare to suggest that flights, specifically, over the sea area, in strike aircraft, belong to the category of the most difficult. Moreover, the Su-24 went at an extremely low altitude, extremely high speed and in radio silence. In short, "realizing intelligence information", they searched for the target, practically, by visual signs. Which is always "not easy to eat." For this, lamenting about the "huge difficulties" of the search did not impress me. Well, I do not exclude that you are a tough "master of combat use" and could solve a similar search task in such conditions without "much stress" ... I was especially amused by your - "no one attacks." Yeah ... So, MO needs to "just wait" for "someone to get together" to do it. And just then, "it will be high time" to deal with airfields, and acquire the skills of flying in the air in the Arctic zone ...

                    By the way, and if it does not make it difficult, specify what is "common sense"? .. For example, is it present in the determination of the annual US military budget? .. Already for decades unable to cover their aggregate national debt with real, REALLY liquid assets? ..

                      The United States produces oil and gas as much as the Russian Federation, but in addition to this, the United States produced 2018 Boeings in 800, ten million cars, millions of iPhones, most computers in the world use their software, their Caterpiller works in all countries of the world, including us, they are leaders in medical and space technology, seed and breeding stock, oil and gas equipment, and many other sectors. This is not liquid assets for you? There, one Apple is more expensive than all our companies.
                      Their pension and investment funds have assets worth $ 100 trillion, with a national debt of $ 20 trillion, they invest all over the world and our country suffers from sanctions, because of which their investors cannot buy our assets, and you are quoting delirious then printing presses.

                  I personally watched (from the battle formation) as the Tu-22m2 regiment launched a tactical attack on the AVM.
                  About "amazed" - the Tu-22m2 had something to amaze with, but the Su-24 does not have such a weapon.

      In the early 90s, the heart was bleeding when the Arctic was exposed and abandoned. How many air defense regiments have been disbanded! And now there is a rainbow in the sky - even our regiment has been restored and, apparently for undeserved suffering, made the guards. But they just shoved it afterwards, don't spoil it - in Tiksi ...

      Your opponent, a pro in the field of combat use of the Tu-22m2, from the navigator's workplace. He can also tell tales from the life of the Soviet Gavan garrison.
      In matters of combat use of the Su-34, he certainly does not understand.

      You will decide there anyway. This opponent in some comments is an anti-submarine pilot in these bomber navigator. But always with an escort telling his biography.

      For. IL-78 will also build warm hangars? Plus, there will be a separate bulldozer-auger battalion of airfield cleaning .. And on = good if - to fit the submarine removed from the submarine and from its reactor to record the runway with heating .. and heat the hangars from it .. Then we'll live! Ps. Familiar Uzbeks at Fetisov’s dacha were doing this — all street lanes and entrances and stations for cars — all with hot pipes under the asphalt .. Well, the Arctic is certainly not the Moscow Region, - you will have to install more powerful boilers ..))

      Americans regularly send their warships to the sea zone, which China has declared as a zone of its economic interests, to annoy the Chinese.
      If Su34 will sit in the North, then Russia is kind of gently hinting in advance to amers
