Mistral as part of Russian naval diplomacy

The first two French Mistral helicopter carriers should be delivered to Russia in 2014 and 2015. Military analyst at the Institute of International Strategic Relations of France Philippe Migault expressed his assumptions to the Voice of Russia why the ships would be stationed in Vladivostok.

Mistrals are not just carriers of combat aircraft, but also the so-called force projection ships, that is, a tool for a universal solution of a local conflict that unites the Air Force, presented in the Russian version of the Kamov helicopters, namely the eight Alligators (K 52 K) and seven military transport vehicles K 29, that is, the total 16 combat-ready units.

On ships can also be based amphibious assault forces of up to 450 people and 13 modern tanks or 70 BRDM (n), that is, combat reconnaissance and patrol infantry vehicles. The 210-meter hull is capable of speeds up to 18 knots, i.e. more than 30 km / h.

The French pass on the technology of building ships to the Russians, including the CIUS (combat information management service) and avionics (avionics). It is the electronic filling of the Mistral, which so far has no analogues in the Russian fleetturns these warships into a single living organism, capable of a high degree of conjugation of the various branches of the troops present on the ship, not to mention the various air defense and anti-aircraft defense systems.

Also, this system allows you to integrate the ship in real time into the overall operational-tactical scheme of actions of the numerous fleet. In other words, these combat units are able to work equally as raiders, as well as part of a single group in the mode of maximum synchronization of actions with other ships. NATO has always been jealous of passing on its secrets. Therefore, many Western politicians, including Obama, have perceived this contract as a betrayal by the French arms.

The military analyst of the French Institute for International Strategic Relations and the former military columnist of the Le Figaro newspaper, Philippe Migault, analyzed the reasons that prompted the Russian command to choose Vladivostok as a place of deployment for ships supplied by France. After the transfer of the first two Mistrals to the Russian side in 2014 and 2015, the other two sides will be built under license by the Russian side in the Baltic shipyards, which will allow our engineers to get a full package of know-how on new technologies.

- Mr. Migo, the first two Mistrals, which received, according to Russian Navy Commander Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky, the names Sevastopol and Vladivostok, should be assigned to the naval base of Fokino, which is 116 kilometers from Vladivostok. In your opinion, what prompted the Russians to rank the two newest vessels to the Pacific Fleet? What are the strategic tasks that Russia can entrust to the crew of these warships?

- I think that we are talking about strategic goals. After all, the advantage of this type of ships, whether it is air or helicopter carrier, is just the so-called naval diplomacy. Of course, these are military ships. But I think that as far as the Mistrals is concerned, they are still lightly armed, and their task is rather to emphasize the presence and sovereignty of Russia in this region.

For example, France, for example, sent Clemenceau in due time, so that, as we say, he would draw circles on the water in the region of Lebanon, where our national interests were threatened. So I think the main task of these vessels after their redeployment to Vladivostok is to emphasize that Russia possesses its Far East relative to some other countries in the region. I am sure that the Russian Mistral will not have the task of countering the Seventh US Navy, which is present in the maritime theater of action. For this, they simply do not have enough combat potential. But Japan is able to signal the position of Russia on the Kuril Islands or show its flag to China, which has just pulled down its first aircraft carrier from the stocks. The Russians emphasize that Russian lands will remain so. In this, in my opinion, the main task of these helicopter carriers.

- Now they talk a lot about shifting the center of gravity of the world economy to Asia. The political center, by the way, too. Do you think that sending Moscow their new ships to this region is an indicator, a litmus test of the change in the Russian geopolitical course with a turn in the direction of the Pacific facade of the country?

- This answer has two planes - heart and mind. From the point of view of reason, the last APEC summit in Vladivostok showed that Russia insists on shifting the center of gravity to the Asia-Pacific region. In fact, global commerce is concentrated there. The new Russian policy fits into this framework.

Well, if you give free rein to your heart, for my part I will say that, by its culture, Russia is a European country. I hope that this new alignment of Russian interests does not mean the final loss of Russia's interests in Europe due to the actions taken by the European Union with respect to Russia. After all, the European Union is not yet Europe. There are other opportunities for European construction and, in particular, the construction of Europe together with Russia. I hope that Russia will not turn completely toward the East, which will be very regrettable both for us and for it.

Perhaps Philippe Migault hints at the policy of General de Gaulle, who sought to expel the American bases from Europe and create European armed forces based on an alliance with a strong Russia. This line of behavior to this day meets the understanding of a certain part of the French High Command, which continues to strive for the revival of sovereign France. But now neither the current president of the country nor his closest associates seem to totally disagree with this.

          Hooray! Russia made an outstanding contribution to the defense industry of France. The workers of the French shipyards sighed freely, the good uncle of the GDP provided them with guaranteed work for a couple of years. Suppliers of spare parts and consumables are also jubilant, for many more years Russia will give them work exploiting these miracle ships.
          The workers of the IVECO plants are also very grateful to the GDP and are ready to roll up their hands to rivet us different Centaurs and Rysa for our money!
          But will they only supply us with weapons if war breaks out? But it seems that our government is not even considering such a situation, why fight if there are alternate aerodromes?

            I am very confused by the electronic filling of these Mistrals and, if it is purely French, it means "to send the goat into the garden." Or will the filling be hastily transferred to the domestic one? But this also takes time and not a little. So: "to beat or not to beat" these buyers. That's the question.

              Mistral, to put it mildly, not quite formidable ships. Even if their electronic filling fails at hour X, it will be a small loss. I would like to hope that the transfer of Mistral and technology to us will revive the radio-electronic industry, which has stopped in the development of components at the level of the 80s

              It's not just about electronic stuffing - there is hardly anything unknown to us there. Here is a programmable control, perhaps interesting. In addition, we will build two ships ourselves - from scratch, including all the filling we will assemble. And we need to absorb technologies that we don’t have. Now, look, we were not allowed to take the technologies of the Opel automobile concern, and shipbuilding is more sensitive for the States. But, after all, it was possible. Then, I think, the Mistrals will be dispersed - one at a time: Baltic, Black, North, East. for operations not very military-strategic.
              According to the names - Vladivostok - there is, Sevastopol - is, there will probably be Arkhangelsk (or Murmansk) and Kaliningrad. Fine.

            To begin with, it is not GDP that decides what to procure specifically and from whom. It can influence the decision, but this is not its task. We continue by the fact that in some places we may not have our own analogues and we have to purchase foreign products, because there is no choice .And you are here butcherte because of a couple of contracts - yes this is a drop in the bucket. And we end up with 2 ships being built with us.
            What stubborn people you are all the same. You are told that you are like your own sheep. I personally am not an ardent supporter of mistral and lynx, but I can understand and accept the decision to purchase them.

              If we face the truth, so far we have been given two troughs that are not at all able to destroy American aircraft carrier groups and landing ships. As for the production of two ships here, these are fairy tales, the French have not yet signed up to this. as one smart person put it, "intentions change quickly and easily, but opportunities are long and difficult."
              As for "humility", this is exactly what is required from people like you, why think, it is enough just to accept. You ought to be Patsantre as a priest!

              And why not decide for himself what to buy and from whom. Stalin and Hitler directly adopted military equipment themselves because they considered it very important. And now, in the order of things, pull out a round sum of four troughs for the sake of acquiring BIUS and avionics and not pay attention to excessive spending of the budget. If we are only interested in the filling, then why not limited to one copy? Yes, and ships with NATO stuffing are a dubious thing, at any moment, with the touch of a button, friends from NATO can turn these boats into a mountain of drifting metal. It was better not to mention about air defense systems in the article. Since then, has it lagged behind in this area in Russia? We have air defense, even shipborne are traditionally strong. I do not think that there is anything on the Mistral that can surprise our designers. In combat use, the Mistral is quite complicated, our BDK is better in many respects, for example, the ability to land directly on the shore. To design and build such ships is quite within the power of our military-industrial complex.

      OOOOO there is a deep meaning ... take for example the T-34, a good tank, but it all started with the fact that in America they bought a Christie tank and there are many such examples. And Mistral most likely bought for the sake of their technologies and toppings!, Because to see and hold in your hands are two different differences, and the fact that you bought a couple of three is for excuse. I think this contract will be useful for Russia.

          But read it.
          The dispute went around two NATO standard ship control systems - the SENIT-9 combat information and control system and the SIC-21 command and control command system (fleet).

          The French military fiercely resisted the transfer of SENIT-9 to Russia, which they considered highly sensitive in terms of military technology transfer. But in the end, Moscow and Paris managed to agree on the fact that "the French side transferred all the technologies," Isaikin said earlier.

            One clever man described the Mistral as follows:

            “It is not difficult to copy the assembly technology, but to build the infrastructure or update the existing one is already the case of the Russian Federation and the grandmother will not cost to measure. And the main technologies of Mistral - electrics, electronics and command posts - in the Russian Federation, with all the desire, you can’t build from your knees in the coming years.

            And about the fact that we also have a BDK, I will say it again: Mistral is not just a BDK, and we didn’t have anything like this in the Russian Federation and the USSR (well, maybe at the level of layouts).

            Mistral is:

            - fully automated ship, crew - 180 people.

            - 16 helicopters

            - Hyper-modern hospital with 750 sq.m., can be increased due to the helicopter hangar on a modular basis. Up to 100 l / s of medical staff, of which up to 12 surgeons. The level of the average Eurocity is 40 thousand inhabitants.

            - the first French all-electric ship.

            - wagon partially built according to the civil euronorms

            - command ship, with a huge KP amphitheater on 900 sq. m., a powerful server, 160 cable computer posts, 6 ADSL networks, satellite communications and a huge infoshina. All this makes it possible to use the Mistral as the main command ship, which is superior in this AV to the head and can command not only naval formations (AV, NPS, AUG) but also is the main command post for general military operations, with months.

            - Minimal logistic support, a huge step forward in terms of crew comfort, command, and landing, which allows you to fully realize the potential for 5000 hours of continuous service, i.e. 210 days a year, can be extended up to 350 days if necessary!

            That's the way it is!

              And yet ... all or many have heard of the existence of a package deal. This is when one contract entails the fulfillment of heaps of other contracts. So - the contract for the purchase of "Mistral" is the package that will allow Russia to legally receive a huge number of Western technologies, and even with the permission for our designers to study, borrow and process them !!!

              I'm talking about cooperation with the corporation THALES. These are not only SENIT-9 and SIC-21 ASBUs, not only radar and other ship equipment, but also third-generation thermal sights for our army (we only use second-generation tank sights), (( Our designers have long dreamed of disassembling it and looking at its integration into the “battle management system”), and nobody will refuse to look in detail at the integrated I-MAST mast from our designers.

              And getting the right to the technology of the ship propulsion "azipods", shipbuilding technologies? United Shipbuilding Corporation on the eve of the construction of a new shipyard on Kotlin Island is very interested in them. The same USK shipyards of USC were not for the sake of stupidly hanging out, after all, from Ukraine with such scandals she bought and took. They will pick up specialists from Ukraine and arrange specialists and special equipment for the construction of huge ships of tons of 200.000 on Kotlin Island.

              The most surprising thing is that the conclusion of the Mistral contract ensures the signing and execution of contracts with the Italian Iveco for the production of Italian Lynx armored vehicles and for the construction of a car factory in Naberezhnye Chelny, as well as with the German company Rheinmetall Chempro for the production of “lightweight metal-ceramic” in our company »Armor.

              So ... And many of them claim and write that this is wrecking. The words of such hacks can be treated only as nonsense.

              Igor Korotchenko, director of the Center for Analysis of the World Arms Trade (TsAMTO), said a couple of months ago: "gaining access to their advanced technologies will allow the Russian defense industry to introduce them in the country's factories."

              And finally, there is a phrase that very well characterizes the critics of the purchase of foreign technologies to replace the lack of domestic technologies: “we can do everything, just for some reason, we do nothing ...”

                THALES also partially works with avionics for Mig-29.

                For example
                At the ongoing Farnborough Airshow on July 11, 2012, JSC Russian Aircraft Corporation MIG and Thales Group signed a contract for the supply of 24 pieces of Thales TopSight helmet-mounted target designation and indication system for completing the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB naval fighters planned for delivery to the Navy Russia.

            No, not convinced. What a babble.
            And I’m not ashamed to ask what is special about SENIT-9 and why it can’t be bought separately if you really need to. After all, it’s BIUS and to the ferry it’s like a slap.

            Here is what I found on the internet:

            LOOK: Why do the French refuse to give us this SENIT-9 system? Why is it so important?

            Ruslan Pukhov: The combat information-control system is a complex of technical means that has many functions: recommendations for controlling the ship’s weapons, collecting information about the situation, etc. Without it, the ship is "blind", so to speak. It's not just that SENIT-9 is French know-how. It is focused on interaction with ships, aircraft, and ground forces of NATO forces. And, of course, it includes related software. Thus, together with Mistral, Russia can receive a ton of information that is not even a French secret. This is something that the French, of course, are not ready to sell, since it is not only a matter of prestige, such as, for example, the SIC-21 command control system on the Mistral (its French did not want to concede, since it stands on the flagship French fleet aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle").

            LOOK: And what will happen if Russia nevertheless agrees to purchase Mistral without SENIT-9?

            RP: We’ll have to load the Russian defense system and put the Russian combat information-control system on Mistral.

                And this phrase does not cause denial, but it must be confirmed, agree!

                But there may be another option, for example Mistral, as the reason for the construction of new destroyers, i.e. If the state gives the fleet ocean-going UDCs with an "intercontinental" cruising range, sailors with a clear conscience will ask to guard the ocean-going destroyer class. Other arguments to convince the country's leadership to build destroyers do not come to my mind right now. hi

                  I will remind you of one story, unless it is banned !!
                  By the end of the 60s, the computer industry of the USSR could be described with the phrase “splendor and poverty” - great ideas and innovative developments of academics began to sink into a sea of ​​misunderstanding.
                  Numerous institutes, large and not very, produced dozens of computers for a variety of tasks, often these systems were superior to their Western counterparts. Scientists were passionate about creating new architectures, finding fresh solutions. The teams of Lebedev, Brook and Glushkov competed and competed with each other - where was there to think about standardization and joining forces. Yes, yes, all computers were hardware incompatible.
                  The fragmentation of architectures complicated the creation of software - almost no attention was paid to system programming. In the future, groups of scientists at universities worked on the creation of the simplest operating systems for various computer series - about 1500 programmers created software for a huge fleet of diverse computing equipment. By that time, more than 50 people had fought on this task in the USA!

                  Computers were used to solve scientific and military problems, so the lack of standardized systems began to cause certain problems. And then the inspiration came, everyone realized that the computer industry needed a powerful breakthrough - it was necessary to create a line of computers compatible with each other and take it as an industrial standard. But then the country's leadership intervened ...
                  In December 1967, a fatal meeting was held at the Ministry of Radio Industry. The party elite decided to stop all development of its own computing systems and begin copying the architecture of the IBM System / 360 computer, released in 1964. Throughout the vast USSR there was no man who could convince the party of the incorrectness of this decision. It would seem that it would have been much more logical to take as the basis the most advanced of domestic systems and unite disparate groups of scientists ...
                  On the other hand, the party’s decision can be understood. With the inherent confidence in those years, the elite hoped that our scientists would be able to accurately copy Western computers, after which it would be possible to “borrow” ready-made and tested software. It is still unknown who made this decision. Some historians believe that lobbyists of Western corporations could be involved in this.
                  As a result, the Research Center for Electronic Computing Engineering (NITSEVT) was founded, which was entrusted with developing the line of computers "Unified System" (EU), and in essence - copying the architecture of the IBM System / 360 and adapting software. As conceived by the party, NICEVT was to unite groups of designers from Moscow institutes, namely ITMiVT and NIISCHETMASH. However, neither one nor the other expressed a desire to work together.

                    Leading design specialists have come forward with sharp criticism of the new government strategy. The then director of ITMiVT, S. A. Lebedev, said that copying the IBM System / 360 would lead to several years behind the global industry - by that time the system was already considered obsolete in the West. The absurdity of the situation was understood by other scientists, but not everyone managed to survive. Lebedev had the will and perseverance to reject the idea of ​​the ITM&VT team participating in copying Western technology and to develop systems of the Elbrus series.

                    In 1968, the Research Institute of Electronic Mathematical Machines (NIEM), an enterprise with a 20-year history, was added to the NICEVT. A fully equipped group of computer developers "Ural", "Arrow", M-20 and M-220 began work on the EU. Branches of NICEVT were opened in Minsk and Astrakhan. The development of the periphery and individual models of the EU was carried out together with specialists from other social countries - the GDR, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Poland, Cuba. The importance of the personality in the development of computers has faded into the background - the colossal staff of NICEVT specialists has sat down to study the disassembled American code, the engineers had to delve into the insides of outdated systems from IBM ...

                    The first model of the EU series - “Ryad-1” - was presented in Minsk in 1971. The machine, codenamed EC-1020 and a capacity of 20 operations per second, was designed to solve scientific, technical, economic and managerial tasks. The computer includes components copied from Western counterparts - a processor, magnetic tape, RAM, input / output devices. Two years later, NICEVT demonstrated the older model - the EU-000. It was intended for use in computer centers. As part of the "Series-1050" was released more than five computer models, as well as many modifications based on them. Computers were supplied with the EU OS and translators from the languages ​​Algol, Kobol, Fortran, PL-1, assembler.

                    It’s impossible to say that our scientists blindly copied foreign technologies, different know-how was used in computers of the EU series, in addition, they were built on the basis of Soviet components.

                    The Ryad-2 line of computers (IBM System / 370 mainframe clones released in the early 70s) included the EU-1015, EU-1025, EU-1035, EU-1045, EU-1055, and EU-1060 systems. These computers were very late: the older model - EU-1060 - appeared only in 1977. It used virtual memory, had an expanded set of commands, an interrupt system, diagnostic capabilities, and it worked at a speed of 1,05 million operations per second.

                    At the same time, the team of Vsevolod Sergeyevich Burtsev from ITMiVT completed work on the Elbrus system - the latest computer, the principles of which were developed by academician Lebedev. The first version of the machine was put into operation in 1980. Unfortunately, Lebedev did not see her anymore - on July 3, 1974, he died due to illness.

                      The Institute remained faithful to supercomputers - Elbrus-1 used ten superscalar processors and shared memory, and productivity reached 10 million operations per second, depending on the task. The superscalar, the implementation of secure programming with hardware data types, appeared in American systems later - ITMiVT once again outpaced the whole world. Five years later, the institute team introduced Elbrus-2 with a capacity of up to 100 million operations per second. The system was very popular among the military. An important feature of the first and second "Elbrus" was a special high-level language - "Autocode Elbrus El-76" developed by Vladimir Pentkovsky. It was written all the software, and the translation into the machine language produced a hardware unit.

                      By that time, it was already understood that the “brilliant” idea with the cloning of Western architectures had failed: the borrowed software worked with errors, it had to be finalized. The computers themselves were constantly freezing, running slower than the old systems created back in ITMiVT and NIEM. To speed up the adaptation of computers, the government began to orderly replace the good old BESM-6, Urals and Emki with newer, but less advanced models of the EU series.
                      Having obtained samples of IBM computers for copying, the government did not provide scientists with instructions on how to produce them. It was possible to copy the arrangement of elements on the board, to find out their characteristics. Another thing is to establish mass production. It was becoming more and more difficult to think of architecture - a working model always looks much more complicated than the concept described on paper.

                      The joint efforts of production and research enterprises, Elma, Elion, Angstrom, Component, Micron, and others did not produce results. The copied boards and microcircuits functionally repeated the American counterparts, but technically lagged behind them in all respects. It is worth making a small digression.
                      In the middle of the XNUMXth century, when the computer industry began to gain momentum, studies were commissioned by the US government to identify the possible impact of computers on industrial society. Having received the most positive feedback, the highest ranks gave a green light and allocated budgets. Since then, the computer industry in the United States began to develop rapidly.
                      Computers began to be used in business, many companies rushed into the industry - and leaders immediately emerged. Free competition and support from the government greatly influenced the development of the US computer industry. Great attention was paid to the development of the element base, and market realities forced leaders to quickly adapt and implement promising technologies. As a result, the industry gradually became completely independent.
                      In the USSR, everything was different - the actions of scientists were monitored by the party, there was no free competition, budgets were planned for many years in the framework of the planned economy. Moreover, the government initially did not see the point in the development of computer technology and computer science. The first computers were developed only to calculate the trajectories of transcontinental missiles and solve specialized scientific problems. The underfunding of the microelectronic industry has perplexed the entire industry, because specialists have never had problems with the creation of new architectures, which cannot be said about software and the element base.

                        But the designers did not give up. By the mid-80s, NICEVT introduced the Ryad-3 computer series, which included the EU-1016, EU-1026, EU-1036, EU-1046, and EU-1066 systems. The older model appeared in 1987, it was running an advanced operating system OS 7 with support for virtual machines, the performance reached 5,5 million operations per second. As part of the EU line, they also released several models that did not have an American pedigree. It was they who demonstrated the capabilities of domestic scientists. One of such systems was the EU-2704, which included a processor that was able to dynamically manage resources during the execution of tasks and parallelize computations.

                        In turn, by the end of the 90s, ITM&VT introduced the Elbrus-B computer, a microelectronic copy of BESM-6 with support for the original command system. Thus, advanced architecture and general software got a second life.

                        But back to the EU. Developing the ideas of “Series-3” was supposed to be “Series-4” (both series copied the IBM System / 390 mainframe). The specialists of NICEVT assigned the EC-1130, EU-1170 and EU-1181 systems to the new series of computers. Unfortunately, at that time the USSR was already approaching its sunset.

                        And then perestroika struck. At one point, funding for the entire computer industry stopped. The collapse of the Soviet Union led to the fact that many factories and factories for the production of various components for computers were in the territory of now independent countries. The production of the Ryad-4 computer was discontinued.

                        The collapse of the USSR came at a time when the world was moving from massive mainframes to compact personal computers, when IBM launched the release of IBM PC, and other manufacturers began to produce its clones. Domestic developers tried to copy them too: the first PCs appeared in 1986, but they did not achieve much success.

                        With minimal funding, the remaining development teams continued to work. The weakened NICEVT released new versions of the PC until 1997, and ITM&VT continued to develop the Elbrus line of supercomputers. In the early 90s, the team led by Boris Babayan introduced a new architecture - Elbrus-3. Only one instance of this machine was built, by that time the technological base was very outdated. When the president of Sun Microsystems arrived in Russia in 1994 and brought in a miniature UltraSPARC microprocessor with several million transistors on board, it became clear to our developers that the battle was lost. Hefty cabinet "Elbrus-3" was launched under the press.

                        In parallel with Elbrus-3, the El-90 microprocessor was developed under the control of Vladimir Pentkovsky. The first samples were ready by 1990. 32-bit superscalar architecture with support for multiprocessing, secure computing mode, branch prediction ... But Pentkovsky’s ideas were not used. A little later, he again appeared on the computer arena, but already as a key developer of Intel Pentium III. There are even rumors that the Pentium processor line was named after him.

                        The team of Babayan lasted the longest - she continued to work on the Elbrus 2000 microarchitecture at the ICST. The rather long, confusing and contradictory history of the development of the new processor is worthy of a separate article, let’s say only that in 2004 Intel lured all Elbrus-2000 developers to itself.

              about the 5-6 aircraft carriers - you said that beautifully. Just forgot to add their purpose, theater and basing. Where? What for? For whom?

                BIUS is certainly not garbage. Only imported CIUS on warships - exactly garbage. One click of some uncle’s fingers from across the ocean - and our ship is blind, deaf, dumb, etc. I don’t think that the West will so easily give up these technologies for autonomous work in the Russian Navy.
                As for the aircraft carriers - about the theater of operations, basing, mission, and more - I do not understand your irony. Not really needed? Or will we build only boats and patrol boats?

        I can hardly imagine how to push weapons into a finished ship, which requires a certain amount of space for the weapon itself, for control systems. All this should fit into the ship’s energy scheme, in the automation and control circuit. What was an additional project?

          I won’t be doubled at the expense of the additional project, or rather I’ll be surprised if no changes were made to the existing design at the request of the workers.
          Adapting and changing the design is as usual.
          Take for example the high-speed train ICE3 and our Peregrine Falcon, We decided to stupidly buy ValeroRUS i.e. ICE3 for Russian roads. So what is the difference? Well, an erudite person will say on the go, the carts are different, because different track and painted differently. And few people know that poor Peregrine Falcon, or rather ICE3, roughly speaking, was increased in size, our fundamentally wider than the European brother. It’s just that they wanted it in Russian Railways, the guys said, we have other dimensions, so do it, but the train should be larger in size! As a result, it was significantly expanded, the Sapsanovsky economy class is equal to the European business class in the width of the seats)))))
          Well, about power settings for shift work on both direct and alternating current and other things you can not say ...
          So I'm sure that ours oh how much they ordered them to shove, so I personally admit that anything can be installed on the Nashi Mistrals ...

      2) Juan Carlos 75% of American systems will never be sold (only an empty base) because they want to plant people for 20 years because of microchips
      3) Dutch - also half of the American equipment and it is smaller
      4) Mistral - fully French systems - and for 3 years

      Benefits

      The whole Mistral has been purchased and the contract is being implemented, and nothing can be done about it
      you need to think how to use these units wisely in our Navy, and they won’t find out what would happen if it was different
      and there are many problems
      a) the depressing construction of corvettes and frigates for our Navy, and the Frenchman needs a normal escort, more than one lonely boat, because he carries people normally
      b) construction and running-in marine ka-52k
      c) the construction of basing places for a new class of ships of our navy
      d) crew training for such a complex technique
      e) determination of landing craft for the ship (ours or imported)
      e) fitting all systems and splicing with our technical systems

      maybe something else, that’s what you need to think about now, but don’t talk, maybe il can’t honestly even vomit
      the very fact that we don’t like to appear a new class of ships, I don’t like a lot either, but we don’t have a time machine, and I’m most interested in what happens, and in connection with the situation in SYRIA we need such a class of ships (some used to scream that we don’t have tasks abroad and we don’t need Frenchmen)

        I also don’t think it’s right that the decision is first to conclude contracts for the acquisition and production, and then to come up with a scope.
        As for me, it was more rational to invest this money in promising domestic types of weapons - aviation - astronautics, missile defense, air defense, communications, control and targeting systems, high-precision weapons, hypersonic.
        To choose from.

        Well, in tandem with the Mistrals, Russia is creakingly building the Ivan Gren large landing craft and escort ships, and this is already beginning to represent some kind of power.
        Than it’s stupid to keep money from the stabilization fund in American banks at half a percent per annum, it’s better to conclude contracts with the French, and learn something by yourself.
        And for the industry to work in the country, it is necessary that the interest rate on loans be no more than 3%, otherwise stagnation, as is observed in Russia.
        The development of the ties between science and industry at this time stage is the task of the government in the first place. The Navy's fleet now has a very modest appearance and there are a lot of ships needed, so a contract with the French is beneficial to both parties.

    Lesovsky Squadron's visit to America


    American expedition of the Russian fleet in 1863-1864 took place at the height of the war between the Northern and Southern States. Russia stood on the side of the northerners and their leader, President Lincoln, who fought for the destruction of slavery. Two squadrons - the Pacific and Atlantic oceans under the command of Rear Admirals Lesovsky and Popov left Kronstadt and Vladivostok ...

    Soon, American newspapers that arrived in Europe brought one after another two sensational news: the Russian Lesovsky squadron anchored in the New York raid, the other Russian ships anchored in the San Francisco raid. The Russian marines, sailors and fleet officers who landed on the shore were enthusiastically welcomed by the population and representatives of the authorities.

    The American newspapers of that time were full of headlines: - The new union is sealed. - Russia and the United States are fraternizing. - Enthusiastic popular demonstration. - The Russian cross weaves its folds with American stars and stripes. - Speech by Admiral Lesovsky. - A big parade on Fifth Street ...

    Formally, the alliance between Russia and America was not concluded then. However, sending squadrons to the ports of the belligerent state led to a de facto alliance. And, indeed, during their stay in America in two cases, Russian ships even put pressure on the enemy’s military vessels with a direct threat of military operations. The Atlantic squadron of Admiral Lesovsky, having the main base of New York, visited Baltimore, Anapolis, Hampton, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, Honduras, Havana, Jamaica, Bermuda. The squadron of Admiral Popov went to Honolulu, Sitka and Vancouver.

    In all cities of the Northern States, the appearance of Russian soldiers caused a storm of greetings. Russian and American flags were immediately flown, troop parades and gala banquets were held. Music thundered in the city squares, speeches were heard from the improvised tribunes. At a farewell dinner in honor of the Russian army and navy, the mayor of Boston said: "The most important thing that the Russian squadrons have brought us is moral assistance." Another speaker said: "Russia has shown itself to be a wise, constant and reliable friend towards us."

    With honor and glory, the soldiers who were in America supported the dignity of the Russian army. They contributed to the strengthening of the United States and appeared to the eyes of the inhabitants of the great overseas republic as worthy envoys of the mighty Russian people, impressing the Americans with their discipline, endurance, and impeccable behavior.

        If not for this squadron, it would be possible and there would be no USA !?

        THIS IS OUR STORY WITH YOU !!!
        AND IT NEEDS TO KNOW.

        And they bought the Mistrals, the technologies use _WELLERS.
        The main thing is not to buy a finished or originally old product like Iveco.
        There should be a push, and it will be through the Mistral or through the Pistral, no matter.

    "The French are transferring to the Russians the technology of building ships, including BIUS (Combat Information Control Service) and avionics (avionics). It is the electronic stuffing of the Mistrals, which has no analogues in the Russian Navy, that turns these warships into a single living organism." .. complete nonsense, no one will transfer the latest technologies, this system works according to the NATO standard and how all this crap will be docked with the domestic control system, what kind of integration are we talking about, with what fleet ... ??? Let's be realists, the French will stuff it with my mother, don't worry. Let's not forget the experience of Iraq and Libya, which were first betrayed by arms suppliers from the West. Shipbuilding technologies ... it was easier and cheaper to negotiate with the Finns, they know how to build ice-class ships. "After the transfer of the first two Mistrals to the Russian side in 2014 and 2015, the other two sides will be built under license by the Russian side at the Baltic shipyards, which will allow our engineers to receive a full package of know-how on new technologies" ... from the initial Mistral already the day before yesterday day ... until the French surrender ... 2015 ... while ours equip them it will be a year like 2020 ... until ours master the "full package of know-how" ... nothing is planned for the new world over these decades ... and who will need them technically, we’re morally silent about them, even if they were not launched.

      - It seems that with the French, as well as with the NATO countries, military operations are not planned. And God forbid, they will not begin.
      Here Niya, no one else will answer you on the purely technical side of the question, but one thing to note here is that according to the NATO standard it is difficult to fix, for example, the caliber of weapons. Information processing is a fundamentally different thing, and there are actually no standards here. If the question concerns some protocols, then for a long time already everything, and Russian including use global protocols. If the software is open architecture - and it is probably open, so all codes will be transmitted too - then docking with Russian control systems, in my opinion, is a question for programmers, is not the most difficult one.
      Our people are probably interested not so much in the details as in the concept itself, the idea, if I may say so. And then you can go your own way. As with the T-34, they looked at the Amer’s concept and made their own. We got a good tank, but it’s impossible to call it amer’s.

    You argue, as if they had given the last piece of bread for these Mistrals. I see more advantages in this deal than negative. Russia receives:
    - excellent ships with a wide range of applications;
    - new technologies;
    - the possibility of working out new tactics of application. Their versatility plays into the hands. From command posts, rescue ships, floating hospitals, airborne troops, etc.

    And most importantly, it is unlikely that it will be possible to hide billions of folk remedies in the "black holes" of the domestic military-industrial complex. The French will not participate in shady schemes. This means that all funds will be used.

    I read the comments .... and I just am thrilled with "delight"
    It turns out that Russian aircraft can’t live without the Zenith 9 BIOS. Fell under the table and cried for a long time ...
    It’s interesting, but at least someone generally wondered what BIOS is and what it is eaten with. Generally speaking, CIUS is a complex of electronic computing equipment and other technical means intended for the automated development of recommendations for controlling weapons and maneuvering in order to most effectively use combat and technical capabilities.
    So, it would seem obvious - in order to manage something, you need to know WHAT you manage (effective managers and their sympathizers, however, believe it is unnecessary - they are taxing, that furniture trade, MO is monoenergetic) But here BIUS cannot afford this - the equipment must clearly understand what is under its control. But as?
    Let's take a regular computer and try it on our fingers. You bought a computer, and your son - ay-ay! accidentally completed the "C colon" format and now you have to reinstall everything over a new one.
    But even if you are not an expert, you will not have problems with the installation - the drivers are at your fingertips, and if not, the Windows itself will pick up during the installation, and what it cannot - it will build on the internet after it gets up. Because all manufacturers understand that their "brainchild" will work under Windows and prepare it for this. But it sometimes happens that Windows cannot recognize something from the computer hardware in any way, and here dancing with a tambourine begins - you have to look for the driver you are looking for yourself. Usually this is not a problem - in the end, drivers are written for all devices and somewhere on the Internet the required driver (a program that explains how to work with the device) is sure to be there.
    But here we bought Zenith-9. we need to connect new devices to it (our weapons and radars) ... but how? !!! These are not drivers for the new dividend. These programs simply do not exist in nature - NOBODY AND NEVER merged the French BIUS with our equipment!
    So it’s completely incomprehensible to me - is it really unclear to gentlemen commentators that we will have to "fasten" Russian equipment to the French zenith on our own ?! And that when buying an imported bius, we just get a few iron and plastic boxes lying dead weight and maliciously winking at us with their bulbs!
    But here they may object to me - the driver is one thing, yes, we will have to write them ourselves, but we didn’t buy the drivers, but the Windows! And when we write the drivers, Zenit-9 keek will start, keek will show how the whole system should work in a complex ...
    A hell over there. She will not show anything. Because our weapons and other systems are very very different from the NATO ones. Many differences are fundamental. A simple example is that the same Aster missiles have an active homing head and the CIRS naturally takes into account the missile control procedure for such missiles (in which the surveillance radar and the GOS missiles are tied) And it’s another matter - our SPARs that have radio command control ... ( guidance is carried out on a separate channel of a special radar)
    The French BIUS was explained how it works and what are the capabilities of French weapons. She gives her recommendations out of what she knows. And what will she give out for our weapons? Who will explain her his possibilities ?!
    In general, in short - you have to redo everything and radically. And when (and if) everything is redone, then from ZENIT-9 there will be .... ehhkm ... well, maybe the name. Yes, seriously distorted hardware (because you have to connect our systems to it that are completely unsuitable for such a contact. And so, for us to independently and practically from scratch create a BIOS, we should pay SO MUCH ?!

      And you, Andrei from Chelyabinsk, imagine the architecture of the BIOS and programs for it? And all the devices that the BIOS controls? If all this you associate with Windows, then tell me why in our army all control and communication channels are unique for each type of army, there is simply no BIUS as such on a scale even of an operational link, and systems for the operational display of information are drawn by an officer. Well, for steepness, video pictures are displayed on the screen.
      Or do you think that BIUS is such a Windows, only for the military? Alas, dear, this is a radically different architecture. And a completely new task, for which you need to prepare not only a computer, but the whole army.

      And here there is just a big difference - do you have a BIUS sample or not. For the price of any mistake is huge - you will not find firewood on the Internet.

    I think that it is impossible to foresee everything and invent everything. We make excellent air defense, tanks and aircraft with helicopters. The French quite possibly developed such a unique Mistral for our helicopters. It is quite possible that Mistral will come in handy for some kind of local conflict, and since they are transferring the full technology to us, it will probably help our electronic industry.
    But everything, however, is only "possible". How it will be there, we do not know.
    It’s also possible that our people want to tear Europe away from the USA, and Europe itself is also tired of lying under the USA, and this requires the independence of their armies. It is possible cooperation with Russia can help this. So far, they, as NATO’s, cannot buy our weapons, but, perhaps, as part of joint projects for the production of such weapons, they will be able to gradually switch from the US military-industrial complex to the Russian military-industrial complex.
    Again, these are all assumptions about how the hell will be there.

    In general, Mistrals have more pluses than minuses. And at the Pacific Fleet they belong, for example, taking into account the factor of the Kuriles and Japan, which is developing a program to build its own helicopter carriers. In any case, Russia is not yet in a position to respond to all possible naval threats en masse and immediately. So the Mistrals in this regard are quite logical as one of the layers of defense.

          Besides those, for example, for ice reinforcements you need to radically redesign the hull? Which the Frenchman is very flimsy, since it was created according to the norms of civil shipbuilding? A review of the entire ventilation and heating system? What about the runway material?
          A simple example - according to the norms of our military shipbuilding, the same helicopter on the TAVKr is served on the deck. there is provided for the supply of weapons, fuel, etc. But for the French, all preparations for the flight take place in the hangar. At the same time, the Mistrals have a huge window in the stern - incl. for natural ventilation .. And we use a more "volatile" fuel for flights - ie. the concentration of vapors in the hangar will be much higher than that of a Frenchman, but at the same time, one must forget about natural ventilation ...
          Now guess who makes all these additions. French people? Yes, nothing happened. Our design bureaus which the French paid from the sums transferred to them for the Mistral. But it’s hard for our design bureaus - instead of developing a design from scratch, they are forced to somehow force a design that is obviously unsuitable for this to work in the cold.
          There are no unsolvable problems. You can also cook porridge from an ax, you can also remove tonsils through the ass with a Druzhba chainsaw. But why? So, how did they express the flag here? So the flag can be demonstrated, why should the Mistral cling to it for this?
          In its current form, the Mistral poses no threat to anyone (well ... except for the paratroopers on board). Talking about some crazy transportation of troops to the Kuril Islands, in which case only a completely incompetent person can - just remember the size of the Japanese Air Force. and to estimate the proximity of their military airfields in order to understand everything at once - for we do not have aircraft carriers for cover.

          Look at the map :)))) You will see Japan either from the extreme point of Sakhalin (the Laperuz Strait has a little more than 40 km of width in the narrowest point) or from the same Kuril Islands.
          And then try to think - where will you lead the landing to the Kuril Islands? Really from Vladivostok ?! :))) Through the ear of the Laperuz Strait? !! :))) Where "Mistrals can be shot by everyone, including field artillery? And why can they be covered by airplanes except from the Kamenny Ruchey base ?! And in order to cover the landing in the Kuril Islands, they will have to operate through Hokkaido?
          So that you know - the only way to cover the landing in the Kuril Islands is to land from somewhere in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, placing an aircraft carrier (or better, a couple) somewhere in the same place - because from the base in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to the Kuril Islands the order of 1000 km

                        Just recently, the need for destroyers in the media has often been justified by the need for a parity response to the anti-satellite SM3 on Arly Berks and Ticonderogs. Like, we also need BIG and OCEAN ships on which it will be possible to deliver C-500 level anti-missiles!
                        I laughed for a long time over such a rationale, but we need ocean destroyers like bread, like air ... Therefore, if the Russian government starts building a large series of ten thousand-ton destroyers, motivating this ... well, let's say, the need to observe UFOs in oceanic areas and the threat of invasion from Mars, I will shout "URYA !!!" and I will be the first to run to enroll in the society of ufologists " laughing

    "Information about the armament of the Mistrals by means of attack, such as launching complexes of supersonic cruise missiles, was confirmed by the Russian General Staff. According to the source, the Russian military is not satisfied with the approach of the French shipbuilders to equipping the DVKD with weapons. Ships of a similar class, which are in service with the French Navy," in fact, they are just large amphibious transporters stuffed with modern combat control, communications, reconnaissance and navigation systems. Mistrals act as floating command posts, but they themselves are practically defenseless from enemy attacks and require intensive cover from the sea and air by other ships and air force units ...


    However, in the case of Mistral, it still seems that this contract is nothing more than a gift from Russia to France in general and Nicolas Sarkozy in particular in payment for support during the five-day war. "Politics is a concentrated expression of economics." And even smiles come at a price. "
