Chinese Sohu: Exercises "West-2021" showed that the core of the Russian army is still Soviet-designed weapons

124

The Chinese press is discussing the results of the strategic joint exercises "West-2021", which, as you know, were held at the training grounds in Russia and Belarus. Chinese journalists agree that the main purpose of these exercises was to demonstrate the capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces to NATO countries, the infrastructure of which is constantly moving towards the borders of the Russian Federation and Belarus and is being systematically improved.

The Chinese edition of Sohu indicates that during the exercises Russia used certain new weapons, “however, all the same, the maneuvers showed that the core of the Russian army is still weapon Soviet development ".



From, to put it mildly, ambiguous material on the mentioned information resource:

The Russian army is now facing troubles and problems. Due to a lack of funds and a number of technical obstacles, despite the presence of modern developments - Tanks T-14 "Armata", self-propelled howitzers "Coalition-SV" - there are not many new weapons in the troops. Basically, these are technically advanced weapons of the old, Soviet design. These weapons have undergone a certain modernization in recent years, but nevertheless, their characteristics cannot be compared with the advanced weapons of the NATO countries.

At the same time, the author does not report in the Chinese edition what specific "advanced weapons of the NATO countries" he is talking about. Maybe about the Abrams tanks, which were developed back in the 70s of the last century and which, like many tanks in Russia, were repeatedly improved and modernized? Or maybe Sohu is referring to the American B-52 strategic bomber, which will soon celebrate the 70th anniversary of its first flight?

This is to the fact that it is difficult to find a power that would bring exclusively modern technology to the exercises - not even the one that belongs to the modernized options, but just the very latest - just "out of the pencil" of the designer ... And it is difficult ( more precisely, it is impossible) to find a power whose arsenal of weapons would not consist of a significant percentage of the developments of previous decades.

However, the Chinese author is not embarrassed by this, and in his article he points out that “in order to participate in a military conflict, for example, in Syria, Russia has to open part of its old equipment, which was previously stored in hangars under special seals”:

For example, they opened warehouses with T-62M tanks.

The fact that there are enough T-62 tanks in Syria itself, the author of the Chinese Sohu, also, apparently, is not particularly interested. And he seriously believes that all the T-62 tanks that are in the SAR have recently appeared there exclusively from Russian military "warehouses".

    well, Duc
    That is why it was kept.
    If the capabilities of the old technology are fully consistent with the existing tasks, why something new, complex and expensive.

      And how many of the latest, modern development of China itself is in service with its army? It seems that the Chinese are spanking copies from all over the world, including the "outdated SOVIET" one, which is enough even for export in huge quantities, but of a "higher" quality (a fake, it is a fake) and a lower price.

      They participated in the tank biathlon in Alabino for several years in a row, but so far their super duper tanks cannot jump above 2 places (heads).
      And they buy Soviet planes and engines, air defense systems and much more. It is evident that the journalists are not “vkurse”, or they are clumsy trolling.
      Let them talk about their strategic aviation and submarine fleet.

                    Well, not the system itself created itself regardless of who is at the helm? it is the steers who create all the conditions to make it easier for them to steer and fill their pockets.

                    Here's an example: a new head came to our place, and changed the system - he replaced the old workers left over from the old head with new ones, loyal to his person. changed the conditions under which the premium was previously paid. did everything so that those who are not included in his social circle did not receive any promotions. and those who enter - have become not subject to jurisdiction, they are not mistaken, they are poorly informed by negligent workers who poorly carry out the highest and deeply progressive decisions. introduced new prices for unfastening "to the treasury" from projects. in other words - he created a new system for himself.

                      This. Yes! I'll just give you a Finnish woman with her climate and demography as an example.
                      My specialty is the main robotization and automatic robotic complexes, there were serious developments in this area at the beginning of the 90s, this is the question of demography and labor productivity. In the XNUMXs, serious designers suggested building entire factories based on automation. They were told, "Come on, fick," so if they fumbled in offshores, then yes, otherwise they don't need it and cut to hell with what was and scrapped it.
                      On the basis of our department, tourism managers are now being trained, heavy machine-economists and two buildings for doctors.
                      So funny?
                      And it will make you even funnier that under the USSR they were not fools who were in charge and understood the climate, so the TARIFFS for energy were LOW !!!
                      In the price of products, labor force, taking into account automation, is a fig and a mere trifle, in comparison. with energy costs and the price of materials.
                      And what do we see in the Russian Federation? The price of electricity in China is 70 kopecks, but what is the price for its producers ????, etc.

      There is no secret that nothing conceptually new has been created in the Russian Federation.
      At the moment, almost everything conditionally new is the use of the modernization potential of Soviet developments.
      This is especially noticeable in the high-tech types of the Armed Forces, Su-27, Varshavyanka, T-72 - this is the Soviet base, the rest is interpretation.

              And now compare where we have breakthroughs and what China does not have, what we have.
              I will indicate right away that we do not have microelectronics and element base, just as there is practically no heavy bean, as the basis of mechanical engineering, by the way, there are no designers either.
              We persistently torture IL-76, but we can even produce it piece by piece.
              All these Tornadoes, Soncepeki are Soviet developments and all the "newest" ammunition for them was "drawn" back in the 80s.
              As an example of "managerial", mowing under the design, thoughts of the IL-112.
              Even now, I will not talk about the 90s (the factories were still working before the 20s), let's take the past XNUMX years.
              Our starting capabilities at the beginning of the XNUMXs in terms of potential were much better than in China + dollar rain for hydrocarbons.
              But nothing! Production has been destroyed along with those chains, the "brains" have died out or gone, the last enthusiasts are already 60+, but the youth are gone.
              All this talk about greatness is a fake for the plebs, there cannot be a high-tech army, with those. backwardness of the country as a whole.

                And here you can not argue. Fascinated by the liberal economic dream, the "kids" of the 90s did not go into real engineering. The generation that has now sat down at their desks in polytechnics and vocational schools will "grow up" only in 10-15 years as a designer and professional workers. Here I will not argue with you a fact. This failure, expressed in 25 years, 10 years of which have passed, we probably will not estimate in percentage terms of losses. Unless missiles are falling, ships are slowly being built ... Well, about "Soviet developments" ... The USSR did not leave us something at all, "out of necessity." Electronic warfare and cunning things from this opera are "finished off, finished", and for the most part they are created anew, proceeding from the hunger for the element base and all that other stuff in these 2000s. It's hard to argue with a constructive update in the Air Force, it flies this update. Production issue? Well, we touched it with you. I hope I'm right. Of the very "novelties" I will mention "Hephaestus". It's like a hint at what angle to look at the update. In principle, a new word in air warfare, and most importantly "0" electronic countermeasures to ammunition. And so "on trifles" will be typed. But! I nevertheless urge you to look more realistic at what is happening and measure the start of full-fledged modernization of the Armed Forces somewhere in 2010.

      Well, here you are wrong. They have really rearmed themselves seriously. Moreover, the army is in their tail, after the Fleet, the Strategic Nuclear Forces, the Air Force.

      Let's not talk about cars, because Ukraine can make cars. Let's start with the armored personnel carrier - the main one is the ZBL-08 and its family. A huge assortment on one chassis, from various reconnaissance and air defense systems to wheeled tanks, engineers, bridges and conventional armored personnel carriers.


      The Marines generally have a unique platform also in various designs.


      Over the past 3 years, so many new BMPs have been riveted that the old type-86 (which were copied from the BMP-1 purchased on the BMP) are now dismantled for targets or donated, for example, to Nigeria.


      MBT - new Type-99 and old 96, in the inner districts there are still Type-62 late, Type-69 late, Type 85, Type 88 and others. But every quarter they are actively written off and converted into targets / are recycled.



      In general, if you take the ground forces, then again it is incorrect to say Soviet. This is the same Soviet as Italian, French, German. They initially chose Europe as a model in wheeled vehicles (and even the legendary three-axle vehicle, which was sold to the UN and more than 30 countries with the involvement of Europeans) and in the 80s they already had a human DO with an exit through the back door. They are trying to combine the caterpillar tracks of the Soviet and Western schools. For example, modular repair, with the transfer of the engine and transmission directly into the field, is very quickly applied to all equipment. Emphasis on LMS and communication. In doing so, they take on a dense layout and high firepower from the Soviet side.

            Well, right there we are talking about SV? Which side to the Tu-16?

            The destroyer is also its own, and there is more likely a western reference point - a single VPU set, integrated into the radar superstructure.


            Again, if you take the Air Force, then there is a mix of our own, Western and Soviet / Russian. However, there are also direct clones - Su-27, MiG-21 (already everything), Su-30, Su-33. But for helicopters, they order either outsourcing, or a French school, or copy-paste from the Americans.



            The fact that the transport is new is generally a classic. They have already been delivered more than Shoigu dreams of getting by the year 27, while this transporter flew later than 476 products, while this is the first aircraft of this class for China, they have not previously built such machines in the country, they only bought.

            And here a different approach is still manifested. In Russia, they like to lay a project for which the industry is not ready, and many units and assemblies are also in the project or production is only planned. This leads to wild time-stretching, delays, cost overruns, teaspoonful release. China, on the other hand, uses a different approach, laying down those projects for which the industry is ready and already in the course of work, modernizing, creating a new project, already at a higher level using experience, everything that came out to be stolen. of all that came out to advance.

Those who do not understand why they use Soviet technology, but on such a scale that our Air Force never dreamed of (and in the same age category, I have not seen a single MiG-19 without a pedestal).

        In modern war, the People's Party and Comrade Stalin are definitely not assistants to the soldier.

          In any war, even an American one, the soldier was helped and assisted by the People's Party, and some also had the GB (which seems to be the same for everyone, something like that ... in general, no one knows, but it seems to be for them , but for others - it seems like not, or not quite ...). But what if there will be a precedent? wassat

            "In any war, even the American one, the soldier was helped and assisted by the People's Party." And how did she help him in the war, maybe she saved from bullets or an explosion of an IED on the road or rocket artillery shelling?

              No, she either inspired righteous deeds or "gave the right direction and appropriate acceleration," in which there is no time to throw brains, but you can safely scatter them on the battlefield. " wassat

    if you remember the words of Putin that in the USSR only galoshes were produced, it means that the army grew up armed with galoshes, there is no modern democratic Russian weapon, they only make it for export))

    "Exercises Zapad-2021 showed that Soviet-designed weapons form the basis of the Russian army."
    As, in fact, in China. And on small things all over the world natyril.

    UP TO THIS TIME, THE TRAINING IS CONDUCTED BY PEOPLE. And in the West, the technology has not been 45 years old. That would have driven 200 thousand people

      Almost 41st!
      It's time not only to drive the troops, but also peacefully sleeping, while you play with the technology, belay so that there is no bewilderment - how is it that we are not ready again?
      Military exercises, as a type of training, are not only used in the system of combat training and combat readiness of the Armed Forces, but are also used to influence international relations. soldier

    All the "rearmament" over the past 30 years is the renewal of the technology park of the 60s and 70s. But the false patriots squeal with happiness that this is the modernization and development of Russian weapons. Or maybe these pseudo-patriots are deliberately praising old technologies so that stupid officials get the impression that the "experts" know what they are saying?

    Yes, but the strategy and tactics of the Russian army generally come from the 10th-XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, drawing ideas from A.V. Suvorov, studying the maneuvers of Field Marshal Kutuzov, the offensive operations of G.K. Zhukov, and not forgetting about the experience of the wars in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan. But by and large, the Chinese comrades are apparently right. We can only guess if the USSR survived, how would its defense industry now equip our army, if even then it outstripped many American and European concerns in the production of weapons for XNUMX years ahead? You look, and the Chinese comrades could learn something for themselves.

    Well, the Chinese themselves have weapons of Soviet design, but the fact that the converted does not change the essence. Well, God himself ordered Russia to continue using Soviet developments and develop something new on its basis. There is a Russian engineering school and no matter what system it works, the main thing is to work

    It seems that these Chinese journalists are not very knowledgeable about war and peace. I would like them to take up topics that are closer to them in spirit.

      They would be better off with their equipment and weapons - solid clones and hybrids at their maximum of 5 percent.

    That is, that is, in the presence of mostly Soviet, sometimes modernized, he himself saw two years ago in a convoy on the march along the BTR 60 highway and afigel, although mostly 80 Ki were open, but the MTO hatch was open at all, it was probably the summer, from the cars. ZIL 131 and 66, so the Chinese do not lie, we have a lot of old stuff. After that, I also saw t 72A without dz and Shilka with BMP 1, my friend's son served in the Dalniy. Well, according to the words of his son, a lot of faulty equipment is full and in general there are a lot of breakdowns that are constantly being repaired
