Press of Ukraine: British Air Force is following the example of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using highways instead of airfields

63

Britain is following the example of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by using highways instead of airfields. On the other hand, this concept of dispersed combat aviation pilots of the Royal Air Force mastered back in the 70s, during the Cold War.

Writes about this Ukrainian portal Defense Express.



According to the British publication The Telegraph, the Royal Air Force is preparing to conduct a series of Agile Stance exercises next year, during which Typhoon and F-35B aircraft will land and take off at civilian airfields and, probably, on motorway sections.

Chief of Staff of the British Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Mike Wigston, in a commentary to the publication, noted that it is about mastering skills that pilots have not practiced for more than 30 years. For this, the command decided to organize a series of surprise exercises. They believe that if the fighters are dispersed, the enemy will have difficulty in destroying them.

В stories The RAF's Jaguar aircraft first landed on the highway in April 1975. Test pilot Tom Fergusson was at the helm that day. The training took place on the highway in Lancashire.

The Ukrainian press notes that the Ukrainian Air Force first worked out their actions on the Rivne-Lviv highway in 2009. They then repeated similar workouts in 2016 and 2020. During the last tests, the plane caught a road sign with an air intake and lifted it into the air.

    Well, yes ... Ukraine is ahead of the whole planet and in everything. She even pressed the shaved ones.

    And our experience of the Second World War with the use of highways as ersatz airfields, runways, how does it not count?

    Oh yeah ... He's Soviet, communist what ...
    They cannot spread about him.



    AI Pokryshkin also showed how to use the German autobahns for takeoff and landing in the absence of other suitable hard-surfaced sites.

      As I remember, Shoigu said that the press centers of Ukraine remained the most combat-ready units of the Square .. That is how it is!
      Well, frames ....
      PS By the way, highways, as airfields, can only be used specially prepared sections of the route .. There are many of them in Belarus, well, in Ukraine since the times of the USSR.! Landing, refueling, taking off ... everything should be disguised nearby, etc.

        So far, we have not yet had the need to demonstrate all our information and counter-information capabilities.
        But they are, like that gopher feel

        The time will come, and not only Ukraine will be horrified by our demonstrated capabilities, the whole World will freeze.

      Moreover, in the GSVG sections of the autobahns were periodically overlapped, and our planes conducted training takeoffs and landings there. Usually, at the end of such sections, even embanked aircraft stands were equipped - everything was serious, they just do not know about it in Ukraine.

Even in comparison with Moldova, the Ukrainian Air Force is 25 times stronger!
