Satellite images from a Western company confirm the absence of any serious damage at the airfield near Saratov

There are new satellite images from a military airfield in the Saratov region. Recall that we are talking about the Engels airfield, which the day before, as reported by the Ministry of Defense, the enemy tried to attack with drone.

According to some reports, the Kyiv regime used for these purposes the Soviet operational-tactical drone Tu-141 "Strizh", which was converted from reconnaissance into a "kamikaze" drone. How he was able to fly more than 600 km in Russian airspace without hindrance (from the air defense side) is a question that the people responsible for building the air defense system should answer, first of all to themselves. It is reported that the drone was eventually shot down, its fragments fell in the airfield area.

Recall that satellite images of the airfield in Engels appeared the day before. The photo did not show any serious damage to both the airfield itself and military equipment.

New images are published by the Western company MAXAR. And her pictures actually confirm the information that the Ukrainian drone did not cause any significant damage to the airfield and the fleet of long-range and strategic bombers.

The dark streaks, which some users mistook for "explosion marks", are the brake marks of combat aircraft on the runway.

At the same time, the very fact of the ability of drones (if the reason is really in them) to get from the territories controlled by Kyiv to the territory of Russia, located beyond the Volga, speaks of a clear need to improve the air defense system. The issue of safe placement is also updated. aviation equipment at airfields, at least based on the fact that at the airfield near Ryazan, as noted in the military department, two aircraft received some damage.

It seems that a new stage has been added to the war on the battlefield and the war in the network - the war in Photoshop
Remark for the alternatively gifted - I mean those edited pictures with which the hysterics littered the entire network yesterday.

[Machito]

It remains only to land the drone on Red Square. Loved everything again.

[Metallurg_2]

Our impotent government can only arrange agreements, instead of razing the center of Kuev to the ground

[Machito]

And what about Kuev? Maybe turn off gas and oil to begin with? It's so simple. I screwed a couple of valves and voila. And rockets with Geraniums are not needed for this.

For this, eggs are needed, but where to get them is a big, big question.

In order for it to be "wu - a - la" you need to get "good" from the "ward boyars" and "duma deacons" .... Yes, and political will is needed and not small ... And with this, somehow, lately , difficult, and scary ... What if the "partners" misunderstand and again a lot of work for the Ministry of Expression of Concerns and its main "spokesman" - Sergey Viktorovich .... And so everything, almost, "woo - a - la "- the people do not grumble much and the "ward boyars" with the "duma deacons" are silent and, even, they help in the war, the treasury is replenished, by the way .... And what else is needed to calmly meet old age and the formation of capitalism in Russia. ..

"The only thing left is to land a drone on Red Square. They fell in love with everything again."
no, it won’t work, all the air defense is defending Moscow with its chest. and this strategic airfield with strategic bombers, but who needs it, neither sell nor steal. But the Tu95, just taking off over Engels, could have shandarachted along Avdeevka. if it did, of course

[nickname7]

If shahid mopeds successfully hit objects on the Criminal Code, then soon the last one will make hundreds of these mopeds and let them all over the Russian Federation about this was an article on VO. Therefore, it is necessary now to prepare for the reflection of the UAV.

And where is that famous electronic warfare system that forced the crew of the American destroyer to file reports for dismissal at the very first port? And although not, it is logical. The destroyer is American, and the Tu-141 is Soviet! There is protection from electronic warfare, and from, and from everything, in short ...

[mitrich]

Judging by the logic of the development of events, it will come to this. And not only, but also in the Kremlin zhahnut. But even this is unlikely to be a red line for those who are shy.

It looks like something else.
It seems that we have a universal response ready for any emergency - nothing terrible has happened.
So it was with the sinking of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and other ships, so it was with the explosion on the Crimean bridge, so it was with the "regrouping" near Kharkov, so it was with the surrender of Kherson, the same trend is observed today.

[mitrich]

And add, we haven't started yet. Why start then? Will they suddenly forgive and go to negotiations? Villas-yachts-islands will be returned. And again you can drive around Courchevel-Nice. And you are talking about the flagship of the World Cup, the bridge, strategists, Red Square ... Take everything!

[Lech from Android.]

Survived ... a private campaign calmly removes the park of strategists and assesses the damage caused to them.
What kind of openness is this.
The absurdity of the situation is obvious.
Where is the secrecy, where are the measures to protect the state secrets of the country?

[Murmur 55]

Lyokha from Android , such BELLS have been ringing since the beginning of the NWO, and some even from the beginning of the annexation of the Crimea, but only things are still there until the thunder breaks out.

[Fedor Sokolov]

And it will come so late! Thus, it is possible to fall in love with long-range strategic aviation, which, by the way, is an integral part of the Russian nuclear triad.

[The popuas]

So there are not bells, but bells are ringing and, it seems to me, the Ukrainians knew about the impending strikes from the strategists on the territory of Ukraine ... they wanted to disrupt the preparation

[Amper]

To paraphrase E. Hemingway: ... never ask for whom the Bell rings: it rings for each of us, it rings for you.

[vinschu]

Thunder rumbles non-stop for more than one year!

[aglet]

"until the thunder rolls."
already burst. it’s not just that there is an airfield, and not an2 are standing there, but at all tu95 and tu160, strategic, damn it, missile carriers, weapons of the last (or first, how to look) strike. Or are they already old and useless? Do they have a fire suppression system? the air was done in front of everyone with a loud sound and an unbearable stench. and whatever. and their generals serve quietly (as they call it), and eat rationed stew. for xoxls there are no authorities - a bunch of ships that sail in the Sevastopol Bay and are called the Black Sea Fleet only by misunderstanding - easily, as much as twice. strategic airfield in the middle of Russia, yes easily. the airfield near Ryazan is even easier. the question arises - do we have an army that can protect at least itself, not to mention the country? and the answer is disappointing

[aglet]

"Where is the secrecy, where are the measures to protect the state secrets of the country?"
for some, especially important people, it is forbidden to publish extracts from the real estate cadastre and maps of their possessions. Isn't this an example of secrecy? and the airplanes could at least be covered with a masknet if there were not enough funds for full-fledged concrete shelters. whoever wants to take them off, and who needs to give them back. here we waited

[Smart ass_]

It has long been said that it is necessary to build reinforced concrete hangars for combat aircraft.
Yes, only things are still there ..

Welcome to 2022. Where one private company provides satellite communications in a war zone, and another sells satellite imagery to everyone wishing able to pay. And both sides compete in posting photo-video information about themselves.

Moreover, everything started with communications back in 1991 - then the Yankees suddenly discovered that military communications satellites could not cover all traffic, and rented commercial channels.

[Last_Knight]

How and where do you propose to hide a squadron of strategic bombers?

[Murmur 55]

But shouldn't there be specific traces of "Strizh"?! Even if they shot down behind the airfield, then a funnel, a furrow, something like that? It’s just not clear at all if such a small UAV arrived, where are the consequences? Or does MAXAR work for Moscow and photoshop the same?

[white fall]

Yeah, shot down, speed and take-off canvas. Shameful, they don’t learn anything - the planes stand so tight, I don’t want to shoot. But the launcher swept across the bridge, and here we are already bombing Ryazan like at home. Shameful lompas

[Murmur 55]

White Faallen , yeah, 3 tons of Swift including explosives, well, he didn’t fly empty, and where did all the destruction go?

[atakan]

so he may not have flown a kilometer.
\ The text of your comment is too short and, in the opinion of the site administration, does not contain useful information. \ added, because it was not enough.

[mitrich]

Shameful not only lampas, but also veiled. Nothing less. If not big.

[Ru_Na]

Well, MAHAR is unlikely to work for Moscow, but there are still more questions about the incident in Engels. I agree with you that if it was a Strizh UAV, then why are there no signs of a fall and debris ?! How did this UAV fly so much, why didn’t the air defense detect it and shoot it down earlier ?! If Swift was flying at low altitude, and he can, then the air defense hardly saw him until the very moment of "landing", but if not at low altitude, then it turns out that someone intentionally missed him ?! Well, if there are no traces and debris, then it was not Swift, as they tell us, but something else flew in and exploded.

[Murmur 55]

Ru_Na , the wreckage could have been removed, but again, was it EMPTY that I was flying in terms of filling? Did they put explosives in it?

[Ru_Na]

Judging by the video, something obviously not empty and quite strong flew in.

[Murmur 55]

Ru_Na, there is a video, I don’t argue, but there you can’t understand what exactly flew in, you can see the explosion, the illumination and the sound wave, is it possible to understand the power of the explosion by these parameters? This should either be addressed to specialists or experienced citizens.

[dmi.pris1]

And what is this dark square near the hangar?

[Pavel Tukabaev]

STUPID INSANE QUESTION:
ukrobpla was shot down over airfields in the depths of Russia ... but how did these steam locomotives fly through the entire depth? no one has matured them or is not the entire territory of the country covered by the radar field? the perforation (leakiness) of the air defense system is not clear. Or did I ask something wrong?

[Argon]

Well, out of 70 who flew, 2 flew? management is very strange

[dnepropetrovsk]

Addendum to a stupid question. Under the USSR, the sky was completely covered by air defense systems. Now, I so suspect zonal. Toist only important objects, cities, military units are covered. "Strizh" flew to the airfield unnoticed, so Ukraine knows where the air defense zones are? Well, I was pleased with the pride for the shown pictures of our airfield. They see us Hurray!!! You see, they themselves show that nothing terrible happened!!! RAVE!!!!

[Hey]

That is, only important objects are covered

What else could be more important than a strategic airfield with atomic weapons?

[aglet]

"What else could be more important than a strategic airfield with atomic weapons?"
well, for example, someone's bunker

[aglet]

"The perforation (leakage) of the air defense system is not clear. Or did I ask something wrong?"
it's like that. air defense covers only Moscow, well, maybe Novoogarevo. everything else is accounted for by perforation. (perforation is a very good term, in the new realities)

[Last_Knight]

No country covers the air defense of its entire territory. Even Israel is not capable of this. And why the drones were not seen near the border is another question.

Is it time to refresh army blood, infuse young, fresh, talented blood? The gentlemen have sat up ... dumbfounded ...

[Murmur 55]

Xnumx vis , I do not argue the responsibility should be HARD especially in such a situation. But I don’t even know about the young, fresh, talented here, we have half the country in young, fresh and wildly talented specialists, sometimes it makes me shudder from their talent, I myself recently encountered the LIGHT in medicine, it’s good the old man comes from the USSR on he stood as a safety net, otherwise they could have HEALED tightly. So everything is very complicated here, and the old people do not pull or no longer want to, and there is not much hope for the young.

Now in the war, many young and moderately mature officers showed from different sides .. So you need to draw conclusions and carry out selection. I don’t argue about doctors ... There are such strange ones that they wouldn’t let them into the morgue ... And what did we want? Bribes, gifts, that's the result .. And who took it? Adults, teachers, maybe our peers ...

I'm wondering how he flew so far. Maybe someone else somehow hacked?

[Evil543]

And how did GDP end up on the Crimean bridge yesterday? Under his span and shmalnuli. Air defense was muffled, no one wanted to take risks. And the fact that someone will fly leaked.

[Andy_nsk]

And how did GDP end up on the Crimean bridge yesterday? Under his span and shmalnuli. Air defense was muffled, no one wanted to take risks.

What does it mean in your understanding "muted air defense"? Turned off the radar? Was it forbidden to open fire on cruise missiles flying at low altitude? - which only complete db-ly can be confused with a presidential aircraft (at an altitude of 10 thousand meters from a different EPR and in the other direction).
Everything is more banal: the air defense officers could not detect the missiles in time, and if they shot them down, it was really on the way to the airfield. I am inclined to believe the official version, since I have not yet seen photos of the explosion crater or heavily destroyed strategists on the net.

[Evil543]

Do we have little air defense along the border with Ukraine? The route of the aircraft from north to south is rough, the drones from west to east cross course. Time plus minus one. Ryazan is generally in the climb area from Moscow.

You are not aware of cases of downing aircraft instead of target missiles?
Or just close the sky along the border for civilian aircraft?

[Deon59]

February 1995, Minister of the Interior Kulikov flew to Grozny, Grachev was also supposed to be. All flights from Mozdok to Grozny were closed. In the evening, the departure of An 12 and Mi 24, 24 crashed. For three days no one carried out rescue operations. Do not forget GA flights in Rostov, Kursk, Belgorod and other cities of the South of Russia Moscow through Kazakhstan.

[alexey_444]

There is no confidence in the pictures, Saddam at one time laid the traces of explosions on the runways with bags, the Americans stopped bombing the bags, removed the planes took off, now the war is on, let them rack their brains, dock gps bindings with black traces. We have a lot of colors.

[couch]

all this is sad. It's a shame.

[Argon]

And that's just the swifts. And if long-range highmars fly, what will we do?

[Deon59]

Or hundreds of Axes or something else. A scribe of peaceful life comes slowly. Ay, we already have a war, not a NWO

[staer-62]

The flight of unnoticed missile drones is a test of a nuclear strike on Russia. We continue to wrinkle boobs, scratch turnips, turn on the fool, and NATO missiles are already flying over all of Russia. Europe must be destroyed by nuclear weapons. It's minimum.

[Last_Knight]

They will watch as nuclear bombs fly at them, but it will not occur to them to answer the same?

[FoBoss_VM]

The airfield, as it were, is of little interest to us ... We are worried about the planes here, every lost strategist is an irretrievable loss. Production competencies are lost forever.

[aglet]

"We are worried about the planes here, every lost strategist is an irretrievable loss."
what about worrying about them? when the need for their use comes, no one will give the command to take off. not a minister, not a commander in chief. Faberge is not their job. and the airplanes will be destroyed by that time xoxly

[rotmistr60]

How could he fly more than 600 km in Russian airspace without hindrance (from the side of air defense)

Really a question of questions. And it will have to be answered by those responsible, but this will obviously take place in "one's own circle."

speaks of the clear need to improve the air defense system

[Kaufman]

The picture here is summer, the grass is green

[Romanenko]

As far as I remember, the Strizh is a rather serious aircraft the size of a MIG-15 with decent range and speed. In addition, it is not controlled by GLONASS and GPS; in the factory version, it has an inertial system that excludes third-party influences during the performance of a combat mission.
The launch of the Swift is a rather enchanting sight - it starts on powder boosters and its launch, in the case of tracking from satellites, of course, is clearly visible, no stealth technologies were applied to it simply because no one used them during his service.
It is certainly possible and necessary to shoot it down, but at the same time it must be understood that it behaves on its own at a given course, that is, without third-party control by radio signals and other systems, you just need to carefully monitor the sky, at least on approaches to important objects.
It seems that in this case, the launch, flight and approach of the Swifts simply slammed, overslept, to put it mildly

[opuonmed]

It does not surprise me that Western companies take and shoot their satellites)))

[lopuhan2006]

Engels was lucky, but near Ryazan Tu-22M, at best, repairs for a year, at least the engines are damaged. Or maybe they will write off, because the whole tail is cut.

[Dead duck]

It was lucky that the plane itself was not hit, it was standing with rockets.
Yes, and the 76th are also based there.

[lopuhan2006]

Each such case has a full name and position .....

[Glory1974]

I was in Mozdok at the airfield, there used to be strategists too. All platforms for aircraft are embanked, spaced at a distance from each other. In Engels, everything is openly standing. How can an airfield from the nuclear triad be maintained like that?
I'm NOT talking about hangars, but at least you can make a bunding! This is much cheaper than even one damaged strategist. To say that I am outraged is to say nothing! How long can you endure such a disgrace!
Yes, at least, it is possible to furnish the sites with containers with earth, although there are probably professional solutions.
And then, as in 1941, at their airfields ........... Even if you drink Corvalol, only this will not help the cause.

[Dead duck]

How he was able to fly more than 600 km in Russian airspace without hindrance (from the side of air defense) is a question

prepared thoroughly, and they were able to, given the help of overseas hosts. They could have put a civilian transponder, and given the presence of small aircraft and the mess, it is not surprising that they missed it.
In Diaghilevo there is a solid field on all sides. The only military camp nearby. Ryazan, though nearby, is kilometers away.
HZ what kind of building is there now (in Diaghilev) in the late 80s there was. But to fly up on an open field ... it's somehow already too much.

[Yuri Stepanov]

Yeah... just a Benny Hill show. And where is the C 400 and other crafts?

[Volga073]

It is high time to change the General Staff in stripes and the Buryat Horseman.
Well, not professionals.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

How he was able to fly more than 600 km in Russian airspace without hindrance (from the air defense side) is a question that the people responsible for building the air defense system should answer, first of all to themselves.

So the fact of the matter is that no one from high ranks will answer. With us, a high rank has long become an indulgence from any responsibility.

Well, actually, there was a Tu-95 in the photo all filled with foam, I'm afraid he is no longer a flyer. At the second airfield, a Tu-22M3 with a tail empennage torn to shreds and a broken engine. Most likely, it can be repaired by replacing the engine and tail elements, and then to Kazan for repairs and modernization. In both cases, it was lucky that the rockets already hanging under the belly did not detonate.

[Amper]

They did not notice the swift, to say nothing of the flight of axes and the like. Mama Mia! Although everything is also amazing and natural, like all the previous ones.
