Almost 30 years later, an air force base will resume work in Chukotka

At the airfield in Anadyr (Ugolny), which has been performing exclusively civilian functions in recent decades, an air force base will resume work. The decision to reconstruct the facility was made by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

About this newspaperNews" sources in the military department said.

The modernization of the airfield has already begun with design and survey work. Upon completion of the reconstruction, the entire infrastructure will appear there and comfortable conditions will be created for the joint deployment of aircraft and drones different types.

In the early nineties, the Russian military aviation has ceased to be permanently present in this region. And only in December 2020, a link of MiG-31BM fighter-interceptors was transferred to Anadyr for permanent duty. And from Kamchatka, airplanes of the naval aviation of the 317th mixed aviation regiment began to fly here regularly.

Former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation and UN Secretary General Sergei Ordzhonikidze is confident in the need for a strong military presence of Russia in the Far North, otherwise any diplomatic and political measures will be ineffective. They will not be able to contain the ambitions of other states.

Therefore, right now, when the interest of major world powers in the Northern Sea Route and the resources of the Arctic has increased, Russia should strengthen its defense power in this region.

Therefore, right now, when the interest of major world powers in the Northern Sea Route and the resources of the Arctic has increased, Russia should strengthen its defense power in this region.

That's right - his you must be able to defend! Otherwise his can go to enemies.

Absolutely true. I have a different question. Interceptors. Are they really enough for the entire Arctic territory? Can we now produce equipment similar to the MIG31 from scratch? Not to modernize, but to increase the number.

Almost 30 years later, an air force base will resume work in Chukotka

Finally, 30 years later, dawn broke in the tundra ...

[URAL72]

The best interceptor for today is the Su-57. Work is already underway to modernize the aircraft, a little later we will get a new engine, although it is suitable in the configuration of the interceptor and the AL-41F. It is inferior to the MiG-31 only in maximum speed, which the MiG does not develop due to the presence of problems with the glazing of the lantern. Also, do not launch missiles at maximum speed, So you need a Su-57 rather than a MiG.

[210ox]

Today Su57 only "swoops in" on the engine of the first stage. The interceptor has not yet talked about the "best and no analogues".

There are a lot of different foes, including the SR-71 and possibly the SR-72. So the equipment there needs the most modern and well-armed. I can’t wait for the S-350-400 to be pulled up, and not object-oriented, as it was in the days of the USSR, but applying the whole range of measures to ensure protection (defense) from enemy air attacks. During the times of open betrayal by the Kremlin top, American B-52s flew between Wrangel Island and Anadyr as at home

Mar. tyra,
It's a joke?
Sr71 was decommissioned about 30 years ago.
Sr72 exists only on paper and so far no one has ordered it from the Pentagon

It's a joke?

Jokes are joking in Russia, they wrote off quite combat-ready aircraft. The US does not do that. SR-71 is not going anywhere. Currently, the US is planning a deep modernization of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The SR-72 project involves the creation of a reconnaissance drone capable of flying on speed six Machs. There are plans to use the technology of the experimental Falcon 2 warhead to create, among other things, the strike version of the project. In July 2017, the SR-72 prototype was tested in flight at the proving ground, and its completion is planned for this decade. American sites https://www.gazeta.ru/army/2021/01/28/13458680.shtml

And what can the MiG-31 oppose to this 22? It is an interceptor in its purest form and is not intended to fight fighters designed for air superiority. And the Su-35 can do it.

[AC130 Gunship]

You're right. Can't do anything. It cannot even get away with a twist from a launched rocket. It was created for completely different purposes: to catch up and shoot down a straight-flying high-altitude target ...

[akarfoxhound]

Today it is a recurring myth. You are wrong, no Su-33, F-35 will leave a modern missile that has captured a target, even if the same R-22, it has been worked out and proven today. With modern performance characteristics of aviation technology, this is due to the laws of physics, mathematics and human physiology. And gallant fights with dashing departures from AUR are in the past and in the Hollywood present. No forced turn around your own ass does not help. Something like this

Dmitry, you know perfectly well that not! Therefore, if in the foreseeable future they will build up the Air Defense Force there, it will only be upgraded MIGs -31BM. As the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Borisov has already reported, 12-13 aircraft will be upgraded a year. take into account that 130 aircraft must undergo modernization, given that in Soviet times an entire regiment of SU-15TM and MIG 23 interceptors was stationed in Anadyr, which is about 40 aircraft ..

[Stepan S]

Can we now produce equipment similar to the MIG31 from scratch?

You know we can't.

[AC130 Gunship]

MiG31 is a deep modernization of the MiG25 aircraft. And he, in turn, was created to intercept Sr71. All Sr's were decommissioned about 30 years ago. Nobody else flies so fast in the US Air Force. Now there is no point in producing new MiG31s at all. We need planes that could fly with additional tanks for 4-5 hours. For comparison, the Mig25 without additional tanks burned all the kerosene in 55 minutes of the flight, and therefore 71 or 6 8x units flew to escort one Sr25. And money (now) needs to be saved ...

[akarfoxhound]

For one and the same aircraft, fueled with "Chsklyan", the flow rate depends on a lot and the indicators of the interception range and the time to complete the combat mission. Depending on the task and geographic and tactical conditions, the same RVB - duty on the ground or in the air, which are also divided into their subspecies.

The MiG-25 could not catch up with the SR -71 missiles, with the P-40 it could only attack when aiming at the PPS, in the rear hemisphere (in the ZPS) such an opportunity appeared for the MiG-31go with the P-33

[akarfoxhound]

Optimizers from 11 air defense fighter regiments in the Far East to date have left only 2 (if you count on a full-blooded composition). And this is for the length of the defense of 4 thousand km (not counting the "northern corner" over Chukotka). The Kamchatka 865 IAP was first reduced from 3 to 2 squadrons (in air for 12 aircraft), in 1998 they wanted to multiply to zero, following the Chukchi and two Sakhalin regiments, but the sailors rescued them and took them to their MA. In 2010, already under the "brightest" with its home optimizer MO Tolibasik, the 865IAP was reduced to the size of one AE, the squadron was transferred to the bomber division in Khurba (Coms. On Amur) in the Aerospace Forces. In 2013. this squadron remaining from the regiment was transferred back to the Navy in the 317th SAP (the MiG-31 in the same regimental plate with the AIL-38, An-12, An-26, Mi-8, Ka-27, i.e. with the marks of others regiments - anti-submarine, mixed transport and helicopter).
And now these 12 crews, actually not living at home, are rushing along the front of a couple of thousand kilometers, covering this huge space, participating in constant exercises, depicting the "ebullient activity" of the upper command. Dofig planes are still on conservation for alteration, but a real combat crew of a modern combat vehicle cannot be riveted from scratch. People are just, typo not enough

[avia12005]

With FBA and SHA the same picture.

[Glagol1]

We cannot produce. Repair of what is left and modernization. In any case, this is less than 100 pieces, although it is not so small. The base in Chukotka is very good!

[Finches]

I'm waiting for the next obsession of the State Department ...

[Bar1]

In the 80s, an Su-15 from Kamchatka and a 3MT detachment (tankers) were based in Anadyr (as I understand it on a rotational basis). Those. the strip was suitable for receiving both supersonic interceptors and heavy aircraft. But this airport can only be used as a jump airfield, since neither protected parking areas, nor conditions for permanent habitation of a fairly numerous ground personnel (such as TEC) were created.

Why understand? Everything is accessible and open, there would be a desire to type in the search - "Anadyr coal mines airfield". I read, - there is a concrete strip, of which there were not so many even on the mainland (3500x60), TU-95s did not disappear even in the 90s, 10 km from the airfield there was a protected storage facility for replenishing atomic ammunition of strategists. There is where to turn around and create another sore for the "partners".

[vch62388]

So, according to personal observations and impressions ...
And the runway 3500 m, if not out-of-class, then the first class for sure. As for the nuclear arsenal, there were rumors that all the special munitions were either taken out of there during the Soviet era, or they were never there, and they were supposed to be transferred during the threatened period, like the weapons of the Strategic Missile Forces, the sites for which (the Pioneer regiment ) it seems, according to rumors, they were ready there ..
And the Chukotka motorized rifle division at all times numbered no more than 1,5-2 thousand people. and stood covered by one large snowdrift.

First, destroy, anathematize everything, and then revive the type, but under a new brand and flag (this is the main thing for the authorities).
According to the photograph you posted, some swear words from the tongue ask.

There are not many such aviation complexes as MIG 31. This means that we need a plan, a set of measures, solutions to provide reliable cover, control, and a region.

It was always interesting why Anadyr, and not Ureliki (Providence), for example, where there is, or rather was, a military airfield (Pograntsy was based in military unit 2305)?
From the point of view of location much closer to Alaska, I'm talking about the flight time ... The runway there allowed us to take serious aircraft.
I remember from Alaska and Boeing 737 and even in my memory SuperHercules flew in ... DC-4 often landed.

Yes, there is only ONE MiG-31 squadron in the Elizovsky SAP! She can't really cover Kamchatka, but then they decided to tear it apart - to send a flight to Chukotka on rotation ...

poor 31 Migi .. So to drag them from point to point - no resource will be enough .. A good thing is the revival of polar airfields and bases ... Although in these matters, finally, solutions for development and putting in order ..
