The first military airfield that meets the "NATO standards" appeared in Ukraine

The first military airfield that meets NATO standards has appeared in Ukraine. According to the press service of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the airfield in Starokonstantinov was the first to be certified by the alliance.

The Ukrainian military department emphasized that the United States is providing assistance to the Ukrainian military in the development of military airfields and bringing them to NATO standards. The first such airfield was Starokonstantinovsky, where modernization work took place. As part of the work, the airfield was reequipped, in particular, navigation equipment for "blind" landings of aircraft purchased by the Americans was installed on it, the runway was repaired.

The next airfield, which the Americans will take up, preparing footholds for their aviation, will be Mirgorodsky. Currently, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is purchasing airfield slabs. When the work will begin, it has not yet been reported.

Last year, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced its intentions to completely restore the runways at 15 military airfields at once, and "in the near future". It was announced about three airfields, which are being prepared for NATO standards and about two, where the work has already been completed. It was about Starokonstantinov and Melitopol.

Note that in 2014, most of the military airfields in Ukraine were in an unusable condition.

Interestingly, in Ukraine, airfields that met the requirements of the Nazis appeared just as quickly? Although, they met the invaders with loaves on the outskirts of the Republic of Ingushetia, the USSR. Why be surprised?

In other words, the United States is rapidly creating its own occupation-American military infrastructure in Ukraine for itself and NATO.

And just for yourself. Ukrainians in vain hope that they will also use it or that they will be admitted to NATO.

So the colony is the same. Why do rapeseeds need an airfield ???
(200 ... 300 years ago they called it - buckwheat ... and now, when all the fields were planted with rapeseed, and the fields after that are dead for many decades ... it turns out - rapeseeds?)

Preparing a springboard for action against Russia. They don't care about native Ukrainians.

Firstly, they confused the time in the statement: it will appear later, someday, maybe ...
Secondly, will the plates only be bought? Which slabs are in the NATO standard? There is a very old airfield in Mirgorod, the last repair was before the deployment of the leader (first combatant) aviation regiment on the Su-27 ... And there it remained, and the Su-27 aircraft are the most ancient there, except for one squadron relocated there from another place ... And there are residential buildings of a former military town right next to the airfield? That’s how powerful it was !!! But as always...

[Bogatyrev]

PAG-14 plates?

Well, it happened historically. It's just that before the Union, no one gave them a separate state.

Historically, if you look closely, betray. Either Mazeppa, then Bandera, then every kuchma green And this is a fact. And these, unfortunately, are heroes of today's Ukraine.

Well, Bandera is not a traitor, he was born and a subject of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and no side to Ukraine.

[VORON538]

Alas, the origin of the fighter with Russia does not interest me from the word at all! He opposed Russia on the side of the Khataskrains in this case, especially considering himself clearly not an Austrian. At this rate, the current "heroes" of Ukraine may become subjects of the "American empire" Although as they were .. (deleted by the moderator) ....., they also remained. And some, especially quick and thieving, have already accepted US citizenship, and not only!

[Pensive Lawyer]

Well, the population of the territories of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has never been distinguished by their love for us. For them, this is not a betrayal. This is a fight against occupation. In which they themselves climbed. And they do not care that the "occupiers" are doing good. They are strangers to us. They have always been and will remain so in the foreseeable future.

And you read the story and you will find out that the Nazis were training before the war, including at Ukrainian airfields, moreover, I will also surprise you with the fact that when the Germans invaded the USSR, the Soviet wagons with grain and fuel and lubricants continued to go to Germany without having figured it out. ...

Toyota by NATO standards. Bombed by NATO standards. Already the airfield. When will there be news about NATO toilets?

Normal NATO history of preparation for war, airfields, roads ... I haven’t heard about railways yet, but I understand that as soon as the road network of Poland and the Baltic States is modernized, they will take full measure for Ukraine ... You cannot fight without roads ...

until I heard about railways

The problem is the track gauge, the wrong standard, and changing everything completely is very costly.

All railway tracks in Ukraine will not be completely changed to European tracks, of course. But on the strategic directions of railways in Ukraine, the USA will change or rebuild railways - that's for sure!

[Stepan S]

I doubt it. Changing only in the direction of the Western Border-Eastern Border will cause confusion in the movement of trains, and building a new road from the border to the border will look too impudent and defiant.

[Pensive Lawyer]

I support. Plus, Ukraine is not such a stable education to invest so much in the development of infrastructure. Rather, the goal is, um, annoying and ostentatious. Like, take a bite, we are making airfields against you where you were your own 10 years ago. Childishness.

[Tatyana]

And when, in the history of international relations, an aggressor country in preparation for a war with a country - a victim of its aggression - was ashamed to be defiantly arrogant in front of the world community?
On the contrary, with his self-confidence and categorically impudent behavior, the aggressor pulled over the aggression of weaker allies and satellites in a future world war to his side.

[Stepan S]

embarrassed to be defiantly arrogant in front of the international community?

Such impudent and defiant behavior can and should be perceived by Russia as preparation for a war with all that it implies. Well, there are big doubts that someone is going to seriously fight with Russia by ordinary means. And for the fleeting aggression of Ukraine and the roads are not needed, they can cross the field, get their own and yell - "but we are for sho"

The Ukrainian railways will be poured into Rail Baltica, the "imperial" track will be replaced with the European one. As always, the first step is to establish logistics. Although this railway is not needed for many countries, and even unprofitable.

[Borisych]

You can use old concrete-piercing bombs BETAB-500, they are quite enough.

No problem, you can start.

yes. and the slabs are like cardboard in thickness. This is good

[The leader of the Redskins]

In fact, this is a typical PAG 14 which has been used since the 70s in the USSR and in the post-Soviet space for the construction of aircraft parking areas at airfields and airports.
I speak like a civil engineer.
WFP is a separate conversation.

After the repair of all airfields, their number will exceed the number of combat-ready aircraft in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So there the partners of the F-22 are going to write off. They can offer-deliver at a reasonable price.

For Ukraine, a reasonable price is a freebie.

[andr327]

from the Mirgorod airfield to Belgorod, only 200 km. Too close. What is not good. Base for tactical aviation

[Pensive Lawyer]

Such a close location of the airfield is a double-edged thing. The airfield is extremely vulnerable to attack. It is covered by over-the-horizon radars and air defense systems from the territory of a potential enemy. To sit down and take off under air defense fire is, I suppose, a perversion.

[Ross xnumx]

Russia should keep an eye out in conjunction with the statement by Western politicians about the possibilities to consider Ukraine's membership in NATO. The State Department wants to achieve its goal, not by washing, but by rolling, - the collapse of the Russian Federation according to the scenario of the USSR.
There is no reason to hope for prudence here. do not expect mercy from a cancerous tumor - it will not dissolve on its own ...

[Pensive Lawyer]

Let them zigzag. They would have to throw all their forces at containing China, but no, they are scattered. We have already learned from bitter experience that we will respond not with quantity, but with quality, relying on nuclear deterrence. Bragging given the fact that the direct Russia-NATO conflict is from the realm of fantasy because of the likelihood of its instantaneous escalation into an exchange of nuclear strikes.

[Trapperxnumx]

I feel that this will not end well for our countries. It is a pity that the government of Ukraine does not care deeply about its country and its people.

Any anti-popular government spits on its people, but only until the people gather and spit on this government. Then they run away from the country and hide abroad ...

[Svetlana]

The joints between the airfield plates deteriorate over time and can break the landing gear of the aircraft during takeoff or landing. Regular replacement of damaged slabs is required. A welded runway is more efficient.
Video of destroyed joints between reinforced concrete slabs at Starokonstantinovsky airfield, see at 3:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lGkKFh8pwk

It seems to me that if Ukraine joins NATO, it will plunder it in a couple of years to zero.

[cniza]

The next airfield, which the Americans will undertake, preparing bridgeheads for their aviation, will be Mirgorodsky.

The USA is getting closer and closer ...

Why should Ukraine look back at Russia, what will she say? Ukraine is an independent state that chooses allies for itself.
And the screams of Russian trolls, scolding Ukraine, suggests that the decision was made correctly.

[Adimius38]

the question of Ukraine's admission to NATO is a matter of time, so ladies and gentlemen, get used to it. The deployment of NATO bombers at Ukrainian airfields is also a matter of time. So it was necessary to think before, when Ukraine was simply taken and presented to Uncle Sam in 2014. As a result, they are with Ukraine and we are with Yanukovych.

[opuonmed]

the departure of the United States from almost everywhere but where will the outcome be? Ukraine is not chosen as a battlefield.? so to speak, 2 birds with one stone, the Slavs will kill each other

The topic of airfield slabs has not been disclosed .. Can you please tell me where they buy these slabs?))

What's the point? In which case it will be hit first of all, so the money is down the drain!
