British intelligence: Russia retained 1500 combat aircraft with crews even in the conditions of a special operation

At present, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operate in a special military operation with the same number of aircraft as before. It is unlikely that the Russian command is going to dramatically increase the number of aircraft in use. This is reported in the next report by the intelligence service of Great Britain.

In the last week, the Russian Aerospace Forces have increased the number of sorties compared to previous weeks, according to British intelligence. The activity of the Russian Aerospace Forces during the day, however, fits into the average daily rate that was observed back in the summer of 2022.

But the most interesting information from British intelligence is that Russia retained 1500 aircraft with crews even under the conditions of a special military operation. This refutes the statements of a number of Western politicians about the significant damage to the Russian Aerospace Forces due to hostilities.

At the same time, British intelligence emphasizes that the Russian military aviation prefers to strike from the airspace over the territory controlled by Russian troops. This indicates, according to intelligence officers, that the command of the Russian Aerospace Forces seeks to minimize the risks associated with the operation of Ukrainian air defense systems.

Also, Russian aircraft were dispersed in order to prevent attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on airfields. As for aviation losses, in the UK they call the number of 130 aircraft and helicopters since the start of the special military operation.

However, Ukraine lost most of its aviation during the special operation, which makes President Volodymyr Zelensky "beg" all over Europe, begging for fighters.

The impression is that in the wars of the 21st century, aviation is losing its importance. It is not clear whether it is needed at all in such quantities.

The same was said about cannon artillery and tanks. But as it turned out - hurried.

I would say differently - if you do not suppress air defense, then aviation loses its value (efficiency). And no matter what century.

That's right. Combat aviation in modern warfare with an equal enemy is the tip of a spear. and the arrow itself, the bow and so on are intelligence, analysis, reb tools and other modern stray. We don’t have this, since there is only this tip that gathers dust mostly in the hangars, since they were apparently preparing to fight not with NATO, but with the Papuans in slippers. Look at the "stupid" Americans where analysis is at the forefront of reconnaissance + a bunch of reb and reconnaissance aircraft and only at the end comes attack aircraft, and with the advent of f35 it is now also inconspicuous Different approaches from this different and the result

Is it different? If you fight against slippers, then the result of aviation actions is not bad in both cases. And the Americans have not yet fought against a similar enemy.

[shikin]

And I would also add: if anti-tank weapons are not suppressed, then armored vehicles lose their effectiveness. If you do not suppress reconnaissance and artillery, then the infantry loses effectiveness. And so on. Maybe you just need to learn how to fight properly?

[RoTTor]

massive suppression of air defense, including reconnaissance, electronic warfare, destruction and fixing the results - this is one of the main tasks of military aviation.

[RoTTor]

more as needed.
Only you need to apply it massively and competently, which has not been observed for a long time

[Two]

With unsuppressed air defense systems - yes!

They have already "counted" our missiles, our missiles have been "running out" since March last year.
Now they began to count the planes.

Give a task, or something, to the sites, so that bulldozers with excavators can wash off the dirt? What if the British start counting them too?

Not so long ago, I came up with the idea of ​​​​assembling all the equipment into a single "armored fist" - to create a mechanization workshop similar to Soviet MTS in collective farms. Now we are building hangars for winter storage and repair of equipment.
If British intelligence begins to "count", then by the summer those hangars from the satellite can be counted as aircraft caponiers. And, of course, bulldozers and graders for "attack fighters".
It's nice, damn it! At least a little, but I will increase the "air power of Russia" in the eyes of British intelligence ...

[ch28k38]

A bulldozer with a raised blade, an excavator with a raised bucket, are protected from hitting "on the forehead" and can be used in attack formations, covering the infantry. A task for British intelligence.

[NikolayDS]

Your information is outdated. She was considered "the strongest" during the reign of Margaret Thatcher.
And besides, any intelligence analyst tends to report what his superiors want to hear from him, in this case, the UK Cabinet of Ministers. And this report appeared in connection with the question: "should we get involved in a scam with the supply of aircraft?". Apparently, British intelligence is against it. And the "leaked" report in the media suggests that British intelligence does not want to be in the role of "switchman" in this situation.

What a deep logic circuit. Probably it was possible to enter from the side of Romania, Poland or Bulgaria, but somehow it will not work out well

Thank you for teaching British intelligence. Moscow should have been warned by the General Staff ... Otherwise, the peasants probably don’t know that it’s possible to do this - without flying over their air defense, hit them ...

In Week.
He was given 100 hryvnias for each downed our plane. I saved up for a new ZSH, on which "Made in the USSR" is not written. And he gave the old one to his beloved president.

Revealing the enemy's air defense is a top priority, and after massive, merciless bombardments, destroy troops, decision-making centers, infrastructure, factories, factories, thermal power plants, hydroelectric power stations, and de-energize nuclear power plants. Anyway, when we take it, everything will be destroyed in street battles. We'll have to restore in the new-old provinces anew.

British intelligence: Russia retained 1500 combat aircraft with crews even in the conditions of a special operation

If anyone knows, did you manage to solve the problem with personnel for the Russian Air Force? There were articles on the Internet that after the Serdyukov reform, the shortage of flight crews reached 1 people. I was able to find the latest article on this topic only for 300.
https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/225966/?ysclid=le6wlbm2u6169033498

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Did someone solve it? I didn’t hear that flight schools were being restored, and they don’t raise monetary allowances for flight crews.
When the number of flight schools was "optimized", no one took into account that few military pilots remain in service for up to 50 years. And it’s not at all because they write off for health reasons, there are few of them.
Just by the age of 30, a military pilot already has a minimum length of service to receive a pension. By 36, the maximum length of service has already been chosen, and this is without taking into account hot spots. And what is the point of continuing the service if the career is not made, and for the majority it is so. At the same time, as a pilot, he has already taken place.
Here is the choice, either to continue serving with all the risks for relatively little money, or to go into civil aviation. And the choice, as a rule, for the second option.

The war is going on with NATO, and the presence of the Aerospace Forces in our country is the main factor stopping NATO from sending troops ... Except for nuclear weapons, but there is an immediate transition to the apocalypse. That's why they don't abandon "destroy bridges", as the narrow-minded lovers of manuals howl

[Stas157]

It's clear! They don’t fly over Ukraine and don’t break bridges, just to fly over NATO later ... and show their real effectiveness there? And you are damn smart!

Haven't you thought about the fact that if the natives from a neighboring country have nullified the effectiveness of our aviation, then why will it be different in a war with the NATO bloc?

[nik-mazur]

Quote: Stas157

It is strange that no one asks another question: if even the broken-down air defense has nullified the effectiveness of Russian aviation, then what will happen to NATO aviation if / when it suddenly collides with Russian air defense?

[Bingo]

They throw it, they throw it. And from the very beginning

[Brancodd]

Official information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on the number of armaments of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of January 1, 2022: 1970 tanks, 3575 armored personnel carriers, 2376 infantry fighting vehicles, 3182 artillery pieces, 488 combat aircraft, 102 attack helicopters, 215000 personnel in combat units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Of the 1970 tanks, 80% are T-64s. Now, according to information from the front, the T-64 is a rare guest. I wonder where they go?

[rotmistr60]

The command of the Russian Aerospace Forces seeks to minimize the risks associated with the operation of Ukrainian air defense systems.

Wouldn't the British, American and other Air Forces strive for this? It is the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that sends their pilots, probably for ejection training, although not everyone manages to do this safely.

[I dare to_notice_]

Russian military aviation prefers to strike from the airspace over the territory controlled by Russian troops
This only indicates that the Ukrainian air defense system has not yet been suppressed.
Although in theory (and in world practice) this should have happened in the first weeks of the NWO.
Conclusion: either the air defense is indestructible, or the suppressor has not yet grown, or "such a concept" ...

[nik-mazur]

Wouldn’t you indulge in a proof of military theory or practice that confirms the thesis of the mandatory total suppression of air defense?

[Carlos Hall]

Russian aviation has very few losses, especially helicopters operating in high-risk conditions, and Ukrainian aviation has been destroyed.

[Vladimir80]

But what's the use of this aviation, we hope to conduct air battles with NATO f35 and f16 ??? How easy it is to fool our lampasofs, they are apparently preparing for the 2nd century. still...

[bk316]

we hope to conduct air battles with NATO f35 and f16 ??

We hope not the right word, but soon it looks like we will. Well, not with a penguin, but with F16 for sure.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

It is not manned aircraft that should go into the past, but free-falling ABs and other "joys" for the use of which you need to get into the air defense zone.

[BorzRio]

Aviation on its own can do little. It is effective in combination with many types of troops and types. In interaction. When pairing and exchanging information online between all components. Then aviation is very effective. And when all this is not there, then aviation is not an almighty god.

[Bomb]

Russia retained aviation, and Ukraine's air defense, friendship won =)

[RoTTor]

if at the head of not only aviation, but all the Aerospace Forces, the most complex type of aircraft, a complete layman, a blunt boot of a mountain-Armagandon, then efficiency. military aviation is as zero as from his inglorious NWO command

[bk316]

complete layman, stupid boot

Maybe a layman and even stupid and maybe not.
But it's definitely not for you to judge.
It's like a student assessing the success in mathematics of a teacher of the Mekhmat.
Funny and really stupid.

This is the open secret, but everyone was not aware of this ......

well, the su-25 was decently lost, and their production was stopped and "analogue"

Alexander Grigorievich recently hinted that he was going to discuss with Vladimir Vladimirovich the deployment of the Su-25 production at Belarusian factories

Aviation has by no means lost its significance in military operations. The rather limited use of aviation by us in Ukraine is due to several factors. The lack of proper (thanks to Serdyukov's optimization of Putnin) front-line aviation. Luckily for us, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have the same problems. But with the advent of NATO aviation, everything will change dramatically and those one-piece ostentatious electronic warfare systems can simply overstrain. , then the Putin-Shoigu-Gerasimov doctrine completely failed. The army was not ready to fight in the parameters of the Second World War and the use of modern means of confrontation. Thanks to our Ukrainian brothers for the bitter lesson taught .. Here are just those guilty of this from the other side, a hundred from ours, will go unpunished. With our vast territory, the truncated (castrated) army cannot fulfill the tasks assigned to it. And there is hope that Putin is understands ... some steps hint at this. It is also infuriating that the Generals who talked about this were Putin and Shoigu, under various pretexts, were transferred to the reserve .. Ultimately, this is a failure of foreign intelligence, the same Naryshkin ... not who gave accurate data about the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the population of Ukraine in general. But where 35 combat aircraft were taken from is not clear. If it were so ... Well, okay ... Yes, they keep quiet about military schools ... But the existing ones ... It is still not clear what the authorities are counting on .. .Apparently, all the same, on an agreement .. Well, then this will be the final for her ... When I polled more than 1500 people, 1000% spoke in favor of the occupation of Ukraine .. And that's right ... otherwise the "Arab" endless war ..
