Russian Su-35S shot down two helicopters and two enemy aircraft in one combat patrol

In the zone of the special operation, the Russian Su-35S fighter during combat patrols showed an unprecedentedly high result, shooting down two planes and two helicopters of the Ukrainian Air Force.

According to the Telegram channel Fighterbomber, this case is one of the best ever history world combat aviation. Everything happened within two hours. Ukrainian Su-24 and MiG-29 aircraft and two Mi-8 helicopters were shot down using just four missiles - one for each enemy aircraft. By and large, there really is a record set during the battle in the recent history of combat aviation. And this record belongs not to the mythical Ukrainian "ghost of Kyiv", but to a real Russian pilot who piloted the Su-35 fighter.

Meanwhile, the transfer of combat aircraft of various modifications to the Russian Aerospace Forces continues. During the last week alone, two Tu-160 supersonic intercontinental strategic bombers, four Su-57 fighters and three Su-34 bombers were handed over to the troops.

Also, the long-range aviation forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces received another missile carrier-bomber Tu-22M3. On the aircraft transferred by the Tupolev concern, the latest complexes were reportedly implemented, aimed at improving combat performance.

For 2023, the defense enterprises of the aviation industry received a state order for the manufacture of an unprecedented large number of pieces of equipment.

And how many helicopters and other equipment our Western "partners" delivered to the Ukrainian
How do you know how many Himars and other MLRS delivered to Ukraine?
Well, postscripts and other inaccuracies also happen not without it, but usually it’s no more than 20%

[SergeyB]

Quote from: skeptick2

Will he calculate the number of aircraft and helicopters in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine on February 24? And compare this figure with the number of "destroyed"? And tell us how many planes are left with the Armed Forces of Ukraine today after our deafening victories? True, this is a risky business. No matter how negative the final result is again.

Will not work.
At the beginning of the NWO, Ukraine had about 450 relatively new aircraft.
Of these 450, about 150 vehicles were in service.
The remaining about 300 vehicles were withdrawn from the state and were in storage or repair.
Those aircraft that were in service were very quickly destroyed. There was even a period of two months when not a single Ukrainian plane appeared near the front line.
Those planes that were in storage, Ukraine is gradually repairing. Most likely not to 100 percent readiness, but to the state - it can take off, okay.
So Ukraine had about 450 aircraft. Officially destroyed, today 355.
So Ukraine only has about a hundred of its own aircraft left. Plus an unknown number of deliveries from abroad.

[Herman 4223]

From the USSR got:
Su-27 70pcs.
MiG-29 220 pcs.
Su-25 90pcs.
400 vehicles for only three of these models, I’m also Su-24/17, MiG-23 / 27,21, but I certainly didn’t consider them to be repairable.

[Egor Ibragimov]

What to count on February 24?
Why this stream of words?

A lot has changed since February 24th.
Now it flies and shoots not what was on February 24, but supplied from the countries of the former Eastern Bloc.

[meandr51]

Your planes are long gone. Deliveries from Eastern Europe and other countries fly to Ukraine. When they run out, we will shoot down F-16s and other Western debris.

[AlexSmi1970]

Read the reports of the Ukrainian General Staff, they still carry out several airstrikes every day, up to a dozen a day.
The question, of course, is who Konoshenko destroyed there.

[begemot20091]

At the beginning of 2022, there were 45 personnel in the Air Force of Ukraine, they were armed with about 124 combat and combat training aircraft, about 63 transport, special and training aircraft, about 46 transport and special helicopters, more than 322 air defense systems . everything else from here

This suggests that in six months, at the behest of the pike, all factories for the production of military aircraft were restored. If things go on like this, it will be bigger, wider, thicker.

[Krasnoyarsk]

Quote from Luka Nord

Our military-industrial complex is gaining momentum!

I really want to believe it, but somewhere, in the depths of my soul, the thought sharpens my soul like a worm - where and from where did the workers appear at the factories, about the shortage of which the heads of all departments were crying all the time? When we were told that (I speak exaggeratedly) the "lathe" machine began to work in 3 shifts, I, as a person who knows what production is, wondered - where did they get so many people working professions (turner, milling machine operator, CNC machine tool and etc., etc.) so that they would come to the machines in the second and third shifts? Cloned, right? Here's something you might be thinking about...

[topol717]

Quote: Krasnoyarsk

and where and from where did the workers appear in the factories,

These workers have always been. There were no orders and no payments. or very little and therefore a small salary. And now the plant works in 3 shifts.

For faith alone, not a single machine operator (especially highly qualified) will work, you know, they have families, and you yourself want to eat. As far as I know, at least before the start of the SVO, they were paid around 40 tyr and it was difficult to recruit specialists, perhaps their salaries were raised?

But at the expense of overtime and weekends.

What does it mean "always been" and lived "without orders and payment."
You don’t really imagine what a “Soviet” turner or milling machine is who makes parts for a 4-5 generation fighter. They are either there or they are not, they cannot be put in the freezer until better times.
There can be only one explanation. These are CNC machines working in 3D profile and 3D printers.
It's easier with them. Unless of course they are not chipped by the manufacturer for remote control.

[VicktorVR]

. CNC machines working in 3D profile and 3D printers

And here the storytellers pulled themselves up.
Which production was seen from afar, on the monitor.

[Herman 4223]

What's fabulous about that?
Tell me, otherwise I work in production and thought it was true.

[zenion]

You can easily measure and make. And to make according to the drawing is quite difficult.

[Realist58]

Probably the same was recruited in prisons)))

[VicktorVR]

1. They brought at least a little order, plus economies of scale, here you can raise labor productivity up to 200% in the defense industry. Although I’m sure that they didn’t squeeze out even 20%, it’s necessary to think about it, it’s easier to see below.
2. Honestly (and not as always) they pay double for overtime, acc. people are ready to work 12 hours not 2/2, but 3/1, and some even 12 hours 6/1. At the same time earning two or more salaries per month. The question, of course, is how much is enough.
3. Very actively lure workers from "private traders". They attract both with armor and a good (and not, as before, the average for the city) salary.

In general, it reveals its own and, if everything goes right, it will reveal a lot more in defense industry production.

There are "cool" factories there, where effective (in every sense) managers were at the helm, who stole on the development of the enterprise. As a result of the shop outside in glass and metal, inside is also nothing, the machines and equipment are the most expensive that can be attracted to existing needs, everyone has good salaries. Another thing is that the competent authorities need to carefully sort out all the expenses, there probably was no need at all in half the cases, well, ports and kickbacks were self-sustaining.
At such enterprises, it is easy to increase labor productivity, just change the management and show him the Mauser.

It is much worse where they stole at the collapse of the enterprise. There, it is often easier to take everything and everyone out of the shops and create everything anew than to put things in order in the existing one.
And sometimes the workshops with the territory are so neglected that it is easier to build new frame-sandwich houses and individual boiler houses in each, on a territory many times smaller than the existing landfill called the plant.

[Herman 4223]

The salaries of such workers are now flying up. Many of the civilians went to work in the defense industry.

[begemot20091]

You must have been working 150 years ago. For example (8 years ago) = technologists calculated the time for me to make a small part from a circle of 60. There were several configurations: a hexagon, internal drilling, thread, horizontal slots, and at the end - engraving on the part. On the existing equipment (turning and milling machines and) - two shifts for everything about everything. 3 people involved: a milling machine, a turner, an engraver. In my eyes, it was made of stainless steel in 29 seconds and ... 1 person participated. A line of 15 longitudinal turning machines, working in 3 shifts, was replaced by 1 Swiss machine - 1 person, and on the line - 9 turners and an adjuster. I can give many examples. Now there are more accountants than workers.

As Suvorov said, "write more than to feel sorry for these busurmans." You must also get along with your head and common sense. Soon there will be a figure in these "reports" - you won't find so many planes in Europe.
Yes, there were bases with old rubbish - tanks, planes, etc. It was impossible to put all this "on the wings" - there was a war all around, there were no spare parts and workers were called.
The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is like a phoenix, reborn after a "defeat", they probably receive a bonus for these figures.

I wouldn't have found so many targets on my own. and it is unlikely that the plane was on a free hunt. These shot down results of the work of the team - those who controlled and monitored the sky, those who directed ... that's the result.

[Hexenmeister]

The Su-35 itself would have found as many targets as it wanted without an AWACS aircraft, but most likely a cunning combination was played there, the main group pretended not to notice these, ready to strike at our ground positions, and "left", these rushed to the line front to do his "dirty" deed, and here our hero jumps from low altitudes from an ambush, and then, as in studying at the training ground, four targets, four missiles, four downings. Well done in one word!

Fighterbomber
Yesterday a unique event took place.
Not only on the scale of the NWO, but on the scale of military aviation in the world.
One Su-35S took down 2 helicopters and 2 aircraft in one combat patrol. It took him 2 hours.
It is not clear about the aircraft, either the Su-24 and MiG-29, or the MiG-29 and Su-25. And a pair of Mi-8s.

Surprisingly, this is not. The epic is that one Su-35S did it all in two hours, spending 4 missiles on all.

There should be a long, prolonged standing ovation.

[Nexcom]

As for the applause, please tell Lieutenant General Konashenkov .... To applaud while standing after the report.

[Mihail0221]

Everything happened within two hours. Ukrainian Su-24 and MiG-29 aircraft and two Mi-8 helicopters were shot down using just four missiles - one for each enemy aircraft.

Oh, what a Christmas present for us....

[Serge9901]

Unconditional, I emphasize - an unconditional reason for pride in our VKS. Pilot - to the Hero, well done. Operators, technicians, commanders - they all did a great job, keep it up!

[Vipirozhnikow]

I believe that the Hero of Russia should be given for more significant merits so as not to devalue the award.

George Crosses and other awards can be considered in such cases.

[oldzek]

Vitaly, during the Second World War, a star was given after 10 victories, and rightly so. Well, the technique was different.

[Leshak]

It looks like something has changed in getting attack permissions. Previously, the pilot (even at the beginning of the SVO) had to capture the target, request permission to attack, and then either shoot down or not. With such agreements, he would not have shot down one plane in two hours. So the pilot himself was allowed to make decisions. It's good!

[Mihail0221]

It looks like something has changed in getting attack permissions. Previously, the pilot (even at the beginning of the SVO) had to capture the target, request permission to attack, and then either shoot down or not

God willing it has changed. And then after all, the problem was similar with artillery support.

[Maxim G]

Also, the long-range aviation forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces received another missile carrier-bomber Tu-22M3. On the aircraft transferred by the Tupolev concern, the latest complexes were reportedly implemented, aimed at improving combat performance.

What is this plane?
Refurbished, upgraded?
Tu-22M3 are not mass-produced.

[albert]

About a dozen cases of carcasses remained unfinished in warehouses. Now they have decided to put them into action.

[Maxim G]

Where does the information about the fact that these are completed aircraft come from?

[Andy_nsk]

About a dozen cases of carcasses remained unfinished in warehouses. Now they have decided to put them into action.

And what about the NK-25 engines? They seem to have ceased to be produced in the last century?

[Yura]

I'm old proud of it as if I did it all, it's funny from this feeling, but damn it's great to read such news.

[Serge9901]

And this is a worthy reaction of a real Russian person. It is a pity that such a reaction is not so much. Someone is sarcastic, someone clings to the letters (“M3” for the Tu-22 or e2-e4, they don’t understand, they don’t distinguish the steering wheel from the brush, but it’s more important to blurt out), someone about control and so on. The main thing is that people are indifferent to the worthy victory of the Russian ace in an air battle in the majority (judging by the comments), it's a shame ...

[Andy_nsk]

"M3" at Tu-22

And what's funny about this? - the third modification. Well, the fact that the TU-22 and Tu-22M are different aircraft is also well known to everyone who is interested in aviation. Where to laugh?

[svp67]

Everything happened within two hours. Ukrainian Su-24 and MiG-29 aircraft and two Mi-8 helicopters were shot down using just four missiles - one for each enemy aircraft.

Two hours ... that is, there were several sorties ... And what were the rest of our fighters doing at that time?

[Captain Pushkin]

Quote: svp67

Two hours ... that is, there were several departures ..

Two hours of flight is roughly 2000 km.
The Su-35 has a longer flight range.
So in one flight he could fly 2 hours.

[Alemax]

Not with that kind of suspension. There, 3 kopecks of thousands of kilometers, the maximum range without PTB. And in a standard load, with a take-off weight of under 30 tons, this is no more than one and a half thousand radius around the airfield. And taking into account the profile along the ground, even less.

[Herman 4223]

At cruising speed it is 1600/1700 km. You can also refuel in the air. Or take a tank with you.

[Tusv]

Quote: svp67

Two hours ... that is, there were several sorties ... And what were the rest of our fighters doing at that time?

O. The Su-27s could patrol for 4 hours, but did the Su-35s forget how?

[Glagol1]

Very similar to fake. Perhaps the original source simply did not check the information and it was picked up. The wind forces have online intelligence from NATO and would simply take the rest of the sides when they hit the first one. Well, 2 would definitely be taken away. Su-35s is a powerful fighter with a large radio signature, it can be seen hundreds of kilometers away.

[tralflot1832]

All with the coming! All health, and prudence.

[KCA]

If they didn’t fly in pairs, then perhaps they could have taken the second one away, but the SU-35 could have caught up, there was enough speed, and if it spotted both at once, then it aimed at both and launched missiles one after another

[Illanatol]

What sides could they take away? Is that the "moment" could come off. But he could be shot down first: the enemy fighter has the highest priority in this situation. The subsonic Su-24, and even more so the helicopters, would have had no chance because of the difference in speeds.

[Herman 4223]

Su-24 is a supersonic aircraft. And apparently they have no online intelligence in principle. They are not eaten at all. Otherwise, the MiG and Su would not have flown to carry out a mission in the area where our fighter is circling. The latter was probably not alone, fighters usually fly in pairs. The attack itself was most likely a complete surprise and the planes did not take evasive maneuvers or they were useless due to the distance of the attack. The turntables most likely flew after the crews of the downed and also got caught.

[ab111]

Take away? From SU-35??!!

"Catch up with Savransky?! - This is a utopia!" (c) Intercession Gate

[KCA]

Purely theoretically, the MIG-29 has a slightly higher ground speed, but where to go if two R-35s or R-37Ms are suspended on the SU-37S? Can catch up, overtake and meet

[cash]

most likely the R-37M was, it showed itself very well ... the su-57 shot down two moments of pigs earlier, which raised geraniums to intercept

[sanik2020]

Good news is always pleasant, but double for the holiday.
Good luck and victory, service people, happy holidays to you and us !!!

Only during the last week, two Tu-160 supersonic intercontinental strategic bombers were handed over to the troops

They were not transferred to the troops, but to flight tests. One upgraded to the level of Tu-160M ​​and one new building.

About strategists, 2 went to FACTORY flight tests, not painted yet, one is new construction, the second is after modernization, no need to run ahead of the locomotive, everything has its time.

[BorzRio]

Why do we learn about such a record and about an almost unprecedented case from some kind of fight bomber (the source is not bad, but not official) and not from the Moscow Region or at least the federal media? It's just that everyone is tired of unfounded victories and boasting. The pilot of the SU-35S is a pro, respect and honor to him! I believe that the case is true, the plane is capable of such a thing. But the silence of the officials spoils everything. All with the coming!

[Magog_]

But the silence of the officials spoils everything

The feat and combat record on the Kursk Bulge of nine downed enemy aircraft in one air battle - the author Alexander Gorovets - was also not immediately noticed by the "officials": they were awarded (posthumously) almost three months after the death of the hero ... Including, let's wait bravura reports of Konashenkov.

And the Germans in that battle documented one loss, it seems. I don't remember exactly

[Ulan.1812]

Well, as the Germans thought, we are aware. Rudel lied that once a day he made sixteen sorties.
It is interesting that forty thousand German aircraft were shot down in such a way.
They probably hit themselves.
Well, how the ukroshumers whistle that they say the Russians are shelling Donetsk.

[Argon]

Kanashenkov knows how many people believe him and therefore did not say for certain. Otherwise, these 4 corpses will be considered fake

[cash]

because the officials are mostly stupid sycophants like a degeneral konashenkov who talks nonsense with fish eyes every day?
all the evil, passionate people were pushed aside because they are inconvenient ... I hope after the war the higher staff will be updated with young, evil, truly loving their Motherland, commanders, and not these grandfathers who live up to retirement with one thought "no matter what It happened"

[Petr_Koldunov]

Pilot - respect and low bow! Indeed, the result is very worthy of being included in the anthology of air battles. A worthy successor to the traditions of Stalin's falcons!
The best result for me is Alexander Gorovets - NINE downed fascist planes in one battle during the Second World War ... however, he himself died.
If anyone knows who shot down more - share the information.

[VladimirNET]

Well done! This means the high level of our pilots
(It is not for nothing that they all underwent training in Syria).

[alexey alexeyev_2]

What did Konashenko say? Well, how to tell mu sorry to the moderator that brevity is the sister of talent

[Fangaro]

It was not our SU-35S that shot down the enemies in the sky, but the pilot. Our pilot.

There is no nationality in our passport, in Ukrainian there is. In general, the word Russian is an adjective, a person (what?) is Russian!

How true is this? I consider the losses of the enemy several times lower than those declared

[BastaKarapuzik And]

Quote from: skeptick2

Maybe Skomorokhov will please lovers of exact numbers with another article on this topic? Will he calculate the number of aircraft and helicopters in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine on February 24?

Already calculated. There is a channel on YouTube - "The Boy in the Mask", the author took the trouble to put together the available data on the air forces of Ukraine. You can easily find these videos (by channel name).
In general, at the time of the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine got a very decent air force, that is, a huge number of aircraft. During the years of independence, most of this fleet of vehicles has been lost and sold.
But nevertheless, it should be said about a little more than a hundred aircraft that were available at the beginning of the operation.
How many of them remained, and how many were supplied by the West (including spare parts), is not known for certain.
Western deliveries are coming and the planes are being repaired. And most likely they no longer pay attention to the exhausted resource of engines, etc. Therefore, they also take to the air planes and helicopters.
But has the Ministry of Defense ever declared that the last plane of the "covered forces" has been destroyed?
Or was there a statement that there were only three of them left?

[voyaka uh]

"And most likely they no longer pay attention to the exhausted resource of engines, etc." ///
----
Like this? If the resource is exhausted, there are no spare parts, accidents are inevitable.
Asian military publications are now taking a lot of interviews with Ukrainian pilots. In them, the pilots tell that they have to invent cunning tricks, how to dodge missiles, how to simulate their own downing. That's how they survive for months.

A very telling moment about the work of the air defense of Ukraine. Our plane was not copied by means of detection, because it probably hung at a high altitude and was visible at a great distance. His attack was clearly unexpected for enemy aircraft and was carried out from such a distance where it was unrealistic to escape from the attack.

According to VO, the entire territory and sky are viewed by NATO avaks. Why did they miss the drying attack. No, of course, I'm not against easy lies. Suvorov also sinned, but maestro, cut the sturgeon.

I would like to know the details of air battles in Ukraine, and generalize the overall result. And it’s boring how they describe everything, shot down and that’s it.

it turns out that the su-35 overtook the su-57 in terms of performance in the pig sky, it seems that in 2 days it shot down 2 planes when they raised geraniums to intercept, in any case, great work!

[Yuri Stepanov]

Well, yes .... Su 24 and Mi 8 are just REAL competitors of the 4 ++ fighter. When the Turks shot down our Su 24, what did they write? Oh, these Turks have found a worthy opponent for themselves .... Even with the Mig 29, I understand, although they are different weight categories, they are still fighters.

[Hexenmeister]

The Ukrainian MiG-29 cannot be a competitor to the Su-35S, these are not different weight categories, these are different generations of combat systems! This will also apply to any other "fighter" of the Air Force of that side. Therefore, I don’t care who was on the list, the Su-35S gathered everyone and landed.

The author of this telegram channel seems to be retired?
Where to be on SVO??

[IgorIP]

And to all this, he also destroyed 2 armored trains, 2 bunkers, and 2 teams with Santa Clauses! And we believe...

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Something is not very believed in such miracles. At the helm, apparently, was Konashenkov ...

Quote from kasy

because the officials are mostly stupid sycophants like a degeneral konashenkov who talks nonsense with fish eyes every day?
all the evil, passionate people were pushed aside because they are inconvenient ... I hope after the war the higher staff will be updated with young, evil, truly loving their Motherland, commanders, and not these grandfathers who live up to retirement with one thought "no matter what It happened"

I support this idea! This is the most important thing right now.
