Clearing the skies for the F-16 has begun, how will Russia respond?

Indeed, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have launched a new air campaign, which was clearly not developed in Kyiv and has had some success. Certain - because indeed, it was possible to disable several air defense systems, as shown by the results of video recording from that side. The photo shows a destroyed air defense system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but the essence does not change.

The strategy itself is not new at all, it has been used since the American aggression in Vietnam. It was then that the idea of ​​suppressing and eliminating anti-aircraft missile complexes that had become serious by that time weaponsTo aviation I could work calmly.



Considering that in those years, air defense systems and the radars serving them were very bulky and not very mobile, this was easier to do than today. However, even in the 60s, the elimination of air defense systems was a serious task. Suffice it to recall the American black day of July 27, 1965, when a group of F-105s at low altitude, beyond the estimated visibility of the S-75 radars, approached the area where three Phantoms had already been shot down. But instead of the S-75, they found an ambush with a large number of automatic cannons, for which low-flying aircraft became an ideal target. More precisely, five of them.

Nowadays, of course, everything is much more complicated.

The complexes have become more mobile, and in a combat situation only those strange individuals who want a completely incomprehensible ending for themselves stand still. Plus the means EW, camouflage and all the like. But even in this case, it is possible to detect and track the movements of the SAM system using modern reconnaissance equipment.


Next, a combined strike is applied, using different means and from different directions, in order to guarantee an overload and force them to use up their ammunition. For example, an attack using aircraft with anti-radar missiles, UAVs and HIMARS missiles, and after the air defense system fires, strike with the same ATACMS.

It seems very complicated and not worth it. However, such work on modern and long-range air defense systems cannot but bring results. Medium- and long-range air defense systems are valuable because they allow you to work deep into enemy territory, primarily against carrier aircraft of SCALP and other things, and also against launched missiles. The main thing is from a safe distance.

The emergence of long-range weapons complicates the work of air defense systems. Even the same UAV with 1-3 kg of explosives, accurately hitting the radar mirror, is guaranteed to disable the system.

So what is the point of working specifically on the S-300/S-400? Why are we talking about them, and not about “Buks” or “Torahs”?

The answer is simple: F-16. More precisely, Su-34.


The Su-34 with UMPK bombs is what is tormenting the Ukrainian Armed Forces defense the most today. Yes, drones with explosives capable of destroying танк or a mortar crew - that's also important. A long-range UAV that can set fire to a tank at an oil refinery is important. But a 500-kg or 1000-kg bomb that accurately hits the same oil refinery or command post is guaranteed to destroy it. 5-10 kg of explosives versus 195 kg for the FAB-500 - it's not easy to compare.


It’s easier, of course, to compare the UAV with the blow of a sword, and the FAB-500 with the blow of a war club. Both can be more than effective, the only question is the scale.

What's the point of the F-16 anyway? As a fighter against our Su-30SM2 and Su-35S, it is nothing, and so much has been written about this that I don’t want to repeat it. As an attack aircraft against ground targets, it is the same dull phenomenon. In general, the Falcon has one goal in the Ukrainian sky - the Su-34. But the goal is difficult, the “duckling” can star at the “falcon” in such a way that feathers will fly. Su-24 and Su-25 - there are fewer and fewer of them, so realistically, only Su-34 with UMPC.

And here the air defense systems need to be removed, because the Su-34s are already operating from our territory, properly covered (otherwise how to explain the absence of solemn reports about the downed ones), but the F-16s must be given the opportunity to work.

Why is this so? It’s simple: unlike the air defense systems that the Ukrainian Armed Forces also have, the F-16 is more mobile and can quickly cover the area where the Su-34s fly to work. Naturally, not a single air defense system can boast of the speed and capabilities of an aircraft. And here the F-16, which is much newer than the remaining (if such a thing exists) MiG-29 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, can play a very important role, since it operates in the NATO information network and can receive target designation from AWACS aircraft and NATO satellites. And this is a very important point.

So, this is not a very pleasant picture:
- Ukrainian radars have been pretty damaged over two years of war;
- Ukrainian Soviet-made air defense systems have been significantly damaged over two years of war;
- Ukrainian Soviet-made aircraft are also pretty damaged;
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine are not able to put up a full-fledged barrier in the way of Russian weapons, since they simply do not have enough everything: radar, air defense systems, aircraft, missiles.

There is help from NATO allies. That's a fact. And they supply quite decent SAM systems in small quantities. But here's the problem: it's simply impossible to include these SAM systems in the general Ukrainian network. Defense, since they simply have problems with communications and coordination. They work independently, on their radars, which reflect the tactical picture of the area, but do not affect the strategic situation in any way.

Yes, there are AWACS aircraft, there are satellites, there are long-range radars on the territory of NATO countries. But their presence is of little use in operational terms, because the exchange of information occurs along the chain Sputnik/radar - NATO information processing center - Ukrainian Armed Forces center - headquarters - aircraft/air defense missile systems. For NATO structures, everything is simpler, there the AWACS aircraft can directly designate targets to their aircraft, using their own communication channels. This will not work with Ukrainian aircraft for obvious reasons. So here, the slow speed of information flow is simply an obstacle to effective work.

The question may arise: how are Ukrainian BECs and UAVs guided by American strategic intelligence officers? It's simple: they are not so Ukrainian, they are assembled from components used by the allies, unlike the Ukrainian equipment that was assembled in Soviet times.

And here the American F-16s, which can quite normally interact with the NATO information structure, can become a real lifesaver, since, by receiving information bypassing a number of links in the command chain, they can be in the right place and at the right time. Naturally, counteracting our aircraft.

Sword strike tactics again.


Quite reasonable, one can feel the handwriting of overseas specialists, because since the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot ensure the presence of a layered defense, primarily protected from the actions of Russian aviation and missile-unmanned troops, it is necessary to counteract something that can provide counteraction.

And this “something” will be American aircraft, which are very easily included in the NATO target designation system and can receive information from a variety of sources, as they say, in flight. And this will be a significant advantage of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, if not Russian air defense systems, which simply may prevent the F-16 from reaching missile launch range.

In this light, Russian long-range air defense systems of the S-300/S-400 type will become priority targets for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Everything will be involved: drones all sizes, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and so on. And, as mentioned above, a drone carrying 3 kg of explosives can be no less effective than ATACMS with its 227 kg warhead.

It is necessary to think over the air defense system protection system in such conditions, because working air defense systems are working Su-34s.

Here it is definitely worth studying certain experiences of past years, for example, the experience of NATO aggression in Yugoslavia in 1999 or in Iraq in 1991. At that time, the losses of American missiles in both conflicts were estimated at almost 50%, and the Tomahawks were not shot down by serious systems! On the contrary, it was very difficult to use serious air defense systems in conditions where each activation of the air defense system radar almost immediately caused attacks on them using anti-radar missiles from aircraft. And Yugoslavia and Iraq did not have decent air defense systems; air defense was not the strong point of these countries at all. However, the missiles were shot down. And this was done with the help of MANPADS and very mobile Osa-AK air defense systems, which could operate by briefly turning on the radar with a mandatory change of position. And the Soviet MANPADS "Strela" and "Igla".


That is, an air defense system (MANPADS) is needed that will protect the air defense system. It sounds, of course, so-so. But this is a modern reality.

It becomes clear why Kyiv so stubbornly shook the F-16 out of NATO, an aircraft that is not much better than the MiG-29 and Su-27 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and certainly worse than Russian modern fighters. It's not about the F-16 itself, it's about its application and the use of the entire existing NATO command and control system. This means that on our side it is also necessary to develop plans on how to confront the enemy in changing conditions. Whether these will be VNOS posts, following the example of Iraqi ones, or mobile groups with short-range air defense systems or MANPADS, is not so important here.

It is more important to understand that with the advent of American aircraft, a new round of confrontation begins, and the question that will be asked from the other side will require an effective answer.

Well, or the “falcons” will really begin to complicate the life of the “ducklings”.

          Based on the situation developing around Russia, there is only one conclusion - the use of nuclear weapons. And it's only a matter of time.

            There will be no use of nuclear weapons. Nobody needs this. The plan was to conduct a small victorious special operation. Now they are waging war because, well, they can’t just give back. And there on the horizon some option will turn up. Some expect Putin to leave, others that Trump will come, something will happen over time, sooner or later. And the fact that people are dying and cities are being destroyed is strangers and strangers’ houses, that’s their logic.

              And I really wouldn’t like to talk about nuclear weapons, but I’m afraid it will happen. The equipment is being knocked out, the resource is being exhausted, and with our rate of production of 10 aircraft per year, this is a very sad prospect. I'm afraid that the time will come when there is simply no choice left. War is about the economy, and only the most frostbitten idiot can think that the Russian economy is stronger than the Western one. And they don’t care that Russia will launch nuclear weapons across the territory of Ukraine. Perhaps this is exactly what they are leading to.

                There will be no nuclear strikes from our side for sure! And we won’t run into a direct conflict with NATO either! Because in Ukraine we are NOT fighting ALONE!!! Despite the wild sanctions, the Russian economy has survived, but the standard of living of Russians has not changed in principle, why? Because our government is brilliant and our economy is so powerful that we don’t care about all the sanctions?! Of course not! We did not collapse thanks to the support of the rest of the non-Western world, thanks to Chinese import substitution, and our military-industrial complex is also increasing its capabilities, in no small part thanks to friendly countries. The Arabs help support oil prices, the Indians help sell this oil, China is generally the foundation of this support fellow
                Why do you think they help us? Obviously not so that we would destroy this world, they are helping us because the whole world expects that our victory will help change the world for the better, will help get rid of the dictatorship of the United States. The West provokes us to actions that will frighten the world and then everyone will turn away from us and we will suddenly find ourselves in the BIG F...

                  Let's be honest and understand the cause and effect issues. Not to applaud the help of China and India too much. Before the start of the SVO, we traded our resources directly with all the worlds without intermediaries. And for Europe, energy prices periodically rose to crazy levels. There was so much pride, they say, bite and bite bourgeois. Friendship with the Emirates is like a blow to the gut. True, various Ivanovs and others stole from this income at the feeding trough, without much hesitation.
                  And now we are in the iron embrace of China and India, and you know what the prices for resources are. And why do they help us? The answer is no longer as altruistic as they write here:
                  they are helping us because the whole world is counting on our victory to help change the world for the better...

                  a little naive.

                  And now our VoeVoda St. Petersburg is not averse to enlisting the help of our eastern and southern neighbors. And Modi and Xi Jinping already seem like such close friends to us. All that remains is to kiss the gums.

                  Or maybe you should not rise up like that, and not openly bend the Europeans, but conduct a dialogue with them on equal terms and at the same time develop your country, so that you are respected and loved in your native Russia for your achievements. No?

                    You described the situation in an interesting way: we mocked Europe with energy prices laughing as I know, gas prices were tied to oil prices, if oil prices skyrocketed, then gas prices went up too! During the time of Russia’s dominance in the European energy market, the German industry was highly efficient, and with the departure of our energy with mocking prices, the German industry is actively deflating, since energy prices are killing it! negative
                    It was not Russia that listed the West as its enemy, it was the West that designated Russia as its enemy and began to fight us, the goal is the same as it was thousands of years ago: power and money! bully
                    Having united the world through Globalization, the United States planned to pump up money all over the planet, but it turned out that economic growth began throughout the planet and the United States was faced with the threat of losing dominance, so they started the reverse process! The war in Ukraine is a US plan, the good old principle: divide and conquer!
                    The only thing I agree with you on is that back then it was necessary to develop our country, and we tried to fit into the world created by the USA! drinks

And it is precisely his pride that is a consequence of current relations with most of the countries of Europe, and specifically with Germany.

                And in your opinion, the withdrawal under pressure from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, thanks to the pumping of modern weapons into the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the depletion of the Russian Army due to irreparable losses from the conquered territories, could become the reason for the use of nuclear weapons? We are not talking about the internationally recognized territory of the Russian Federation, which can be defended including nuclear weapons, but about the “new territories of the Russian Federation”, which no one in the world, not even close allies of the Russian Federation, recognize as the territory of the Russian Federation. And the only reason for the use of nuclear weapons then was the so-called “loss of face” of someone in the Kremlin, which in 2022 had such an advantage in weapons and drugs that all this would not have been discussed if they had done it wisely. And what goals could there be for nuclear weapons in this case? Ukraine? NATO countries? What would happen? And what are the consequences for the territory and citizens of the Russian Federation in this case, even if the response is not nuclear weapons, but volleys from thousands of missile launchers? I personally have great doubts that such an order will be carried out only because some people are “losing face” and there is no danger to the internationally recognized territories of the Russian Federation. After all, they will all be specifically responsible for the execution of such an order, and perhaps even their families will come under attack. Risking the lives of millions of Russians just because someone couldn’t and is “losing face” is madness.

                  As much as we would like to present the conflict between Ukraine and Russia as the excessive ambitions of one person, this is not so, in fact, it is propaganda or self-hypnosis. Any Russian understands the obvious - Russia's defeat in the conflict in Ukraine will lead to the death of not tens of thousands of citizens, but tens of millions, only citizens of Russia and hundreds of millions, citizens of the world in the future.

                      This is the genocide of 2 million Russians living in the Donbass and the transformation of Russians into third-class citizens in the USA and Europe. Only the death of millions of German and hundreds of thousands of French soldiers in the wars of the 19th and 20th centuries made it possible for about 50 years to maintain normal relations in Europe after the wars.

                        Russians in Europe are deprived of the opportunity as Muslims to create their own social and political structures. The war in Ukraine began when Russian political forces were banned and repressions began against their activists. In addition, those whom you call Russians in Germany are often Jews, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, and Armenians. Perestroika in Russia, carried out by idiots like Gaidar and Gorbachev, cost the Russian people greater sacrifices than the war of 1941-1945.

                        The Americans set Poroshenko the task of clearing the Donbass from Russians by September 2014, with demonstrative massacres, beatings, robberies and rapes of Russian speakers. It’s surprising that you don’t know this or are trying to cast doubt on what the Ukrainian punitive forces hired by Kolomoisky were talking about to beat and rob everyone with a Russian passport for grants from Kolomoisky’s bank. A friend of mine, an ethnic Ukrainian colleague, went to Ukraine and was beaten half to death and lost his personal car. Another friend was going to visit her parents in Artemovsk. Among her business partners were supporters of Russia and active participants in the Kyiv Maidan. They informed her that they had received an order to kill and maim all holders of a Russian passport, regardless of the nationality and political views of Russian citizens.

At Ostankino I had to leave him. I had an intuition that trying to pick up the dropped bag would cost me a bullet in the head from Yeltsin’s sniper. When you talk about such adventures, D. Dudayev’s secretary in response talks about the agent of the separatist bandit underground Politkovskaya or the adversary of XNUMX, how he was trained to steal during the years of his KGB youth and how he passed exams on the course of theft. Apparently, in his old age, an active opponent is more sympathetic than a simpleton fooled by your bosses who believes in the honesty of Yavlinsky and Politkovskaya.

If anyone has such plans, then it is the Ukrainians, regarding the Russians who have moved to Crimea since 2014, especially 2022. And then they probably won’t touch those who pass some kind of loyalty test. In this matter, Europe is more likely to defend Russians if the rights that allow them to stay are violated.

                        Perhaps this is a historical law. And it gives, rather, not abstract hope (why do serious people need hope?), but rather understandable historical examples of actions and consequences.

                        It’s 50/50 here. No one will listen to the cries of refugees for a long time - they’ll just get tired of feeding them for free if the state from which they fled simply ceases to exist. Well, there will be some kind of “Zelensky government in exile” and some kind of “arrestovich army” supported by some Poland. Countering these threats is a matter of technology, and not the most sophisticated one.
                        Otherwise, you are completely right.

                        And the most interesting thing is that a conditional victory will lead to plus or minus the same thing. Because no one will lift the sanctions, no one will recognize the acquisitions received during the war, and no one will unfreeze the assets.


                        Hardly! Sanctions force the government to create jobs, which leads to economic growth in Russia. The West is doing the same thing by introducing trade barriers. Only the West is trying to preserve production, and Russia is trying to develop what has been destroyed.

                        This is what needs to be restored. For too long there was a period of “it’s easier to buy their machine”... the milling cutter is either from China, or it has the “quality mark” of the USSR on it

                      The role of personality in history is greatly exaggerated. The country is ruled not by an individual, but by the ruling class, and the ruling elite of this ruling class, for some reason, needed to start what was started. Personality also played a role, but it is not yet possible to assess its significance.


                      Judging by the above, it has nothing to do with my comment.

                      Vladimir Yurievich
                      But the main part of the top of the ruling class will not suffer in this situation (remember the Kaiser’s Germany), but on the contrary will become seriously rich. The majority of the country’s ordinary population, as has always happened in such cases (remember Germany again), will quickly and inevitably become impoverished, since the country’s ordinary population will have to pay for a long time and dearly for the restoration of the destroyed infrastructure and other people’s property. Defeat will not lead to anything more serious.


                      The idea is generally correct, only the conclusions of the consequences are underestimated. If some quickly become rich, and others become poor, including the army, police, officials, the preconditions for the collapse of the state into parts will be created. There will be no one to control this process and dozens of pocket entities will emerge on the territory of Russia and the post-Soviet space, which will wage wars among themselves. Note that most of these pocket republics will have nuclear weapons. Even if the West does not use nuclear weapons against Russia, or they are not used against the West, then they are guaranteed to be used by those who come to power after the collapse of Russia. Moreover, it is not a fact that they will be used exclusively on the territory of Russia, rather the opposite. Chaos spreads chaos. A simple statement of facts. Calculate how many will die in civil wars and internecine conflicts in the event of the collapse of Russia. The nineties will seem like child's play. Therefore, there will be no return to the conditions of the beginning of the NWO and Russia's defeat in Ukraine in any form. Ukraine will disappear so that Russia does not disappear. The Ukrainians have set too ambitious goals for themselves to win or survive.

                        For God's sake, there are plenty of examples! The revolution in France is a concentration of power and resources in the hands of the monarchy.

                        The 1917 coup in the Russian Empire - the concentration of power and resources in the hands of the aristocracy.

                        The coup in the USSR in 1991 was a concentration of power and resources in the hands of a narrow circle of the party leadership of the CPSU.

                        The list is endless.

                        The issue is not about negotiations, but about results. Russia has already sat down at the negotiating table with Ukraine more than once, and how did it end?

                        But this is possible, although not so categorical.


                        Most likely, this is exactly it and nothing else. Even if Russia turns around and withdraws its troops today, it will be even worse. The SVO is what unites Ukraine today. Russia will leave and Ukraine will disappear, even with Western help. By the way, the West is not interested in a large Ukraine, it will be satisfied with a dozen small ones, easier to manage. Merkel voiced this concept back in the early 2000s. I could not understand then what she was leading to, now we are seeing the implementation of long-term plans.

The point is in the goals that Putin’s representatives, as initiators, set at these negotiations, but they don’t report this to us. And second: the level of representation is nothing, below the plinth, as they say, such negotiations could only end the way they ended, that is, in nothing.

The West will never stop spoiling and trying to weaken and dismember us. At least you will glaze the entire outskirts of Russia. That's what they are trying to achieve. Reduce us to a state where we are physically unable to maintain our vast territories. With the frenzied outskirts, you need to be more subtle, and not swing a vigorous club.

              Yesterday, due to increasing problems with obtaining Chinese electronics, I called a company that produces electronic components. I asked them about the possibility of making a controller for machine tools. The answer was: “It is now possible to do anything in the machine tool industry without loss only by working on government orders.” But after the start of the SVO, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued an order according to which, before participating in tenders, developments in which 80% of components are made in Russia are allowed, although CNC cannot have imported parts less than 90%. Therefore, we had to close the machine tool department a year after the start of SVO.” From their company, one electronics designer in 2019 who created a strain gauge controller for an industrial explosives dispenser (the electronics surpassed the Xinje XD3 series controller in accuracy) was forced to retrain as a massage therapist, although he gained in salary. In addition, purchasing Russian components is much more troublesome and problematic than obtaining equipment from Taiwan or China.

                  I spoke with a representative of the General Staff about the possibility of supplying a foreign drone from one country with a combat load of 250 kg to Russia, or just its design and key components. After the conversation, I was strongly advised to drink vodka and not get involved in the supply of drones from this country anymore. So I suppressed the temptation to try to contact the designers of drones in another country. In Russia, there is a ban on laboratory work with encryption and radio communication equipment outside of government structures. Therefore, a Russian can only build a drone in the USA, Israel, Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf countries, Estonia or China.

                    A Chinese engineer is richer than a Russian one. Based on his social status, a Chinese university professor may prefer to work in higher education, although the CCP requires him to take the post of mayor of a city with a population of over a million for a second term. This is exactly what happened to a relative of my customer.

                  Exactly what. Will you deny that politics is calculated many moves ahead? And what will happen in 30 years means nothing. Every chess player has a multi-move prepared, but it runs into the opponent’s multi-move. Therefore, the outcome of the game is unclear, otherwise chess competitions would have lost their meaning long ago. And of course, momentary ingenious moves that were not planned, but have a dramatic impact on the game, are also important.

      Dear visitors and the author of the article! Remember forever that the SAM is a complex, it consists of launchers, several locators, a control and communication point, ... What does it mean to destroy the SAM? Think about it! Stop talking nonsense and shedding tears. You can destroy one launcher, you can disable a locator, but the complex will work and no one has canceled camouflage and dispersal...

        The 5P85D launchers are installed in position in pairs relative to the 5P85S launcher in such a way that the distance between the cabins is 2-3 meters (which is determined by the length of the cable connecting the 5P85D launcher to the F3S container), and the distance between the TPK packages is 5-6 meters. All 5P85S launchers must have their cabins oriented to the 30N6 on-load tap-changer (the exact angular location of the launcher is determined by reference points on the F2S container using artillery panoramas installed on the 5P85S launcher) and are located at a distance of up to one hundred meters from it.

            We’ve already discussed it - NASAMS launchers are strictly tied to “their” radar. The radar has been knocked out - the launchers are standing idle.
            It would be better then to turn to the experience of our military air defense - the latest modification of the Buk, which has both a self-propelled gun (launcher + radar) and separate 9S36 radars at the rate of one radar per pair of ROMs (launchers that do not have their own radar).

              What did you disassemble and what is your “own” radar?
              It consists of three fire platoons (a total set of 54 missiles), united in an information network in such a way that each of the three radars is capable of replacing all the others.

              The NASAMS II complex differs from the prototype in greater mobility - the NASAMS II launchers are mounted on an all-terrain chassis of the Bv 206 type. The battery includes 4 platoons instead of three, six AN/TPQ-64 radars instead of three and 12 launchers instead of nine.

                The nonsense is written. No one radar can replace three of the same ones. From the radar, the data arrives at its own control point, and from this control point the data is transmitted to other battery control points.

                        You print a photo. Take a ruler. Define 2 objects. The first is the size of which you need to measure. The second is the dimensions of which you know and which is located near the object whose dimensions you need to know. The size of the C300 installation can be found on the Internet. Use a ruler to measure its height in the photo.. Use a ruler to measure the distance between the 2 settings in the photo. And then a simple calculation. Of course, installations relative to each other can be shifted in depth. But using a ruler, you can measure their height in a photograph and, knowing their real height, estimate how far each of them is from the camera lens. Calculating the accuracy of such a calculation is a physics textbook for the 6th grade of a Soviet school. I honestly admit that I read such abstruse words as “projection operator” and “functional synonym” in Russian for the first time.

                        I meant 100 meters from the tank. There is a gross error in my reasoning above. It should be like this. "For example, in the photo there are 2 tanks, it is known that they are T-55 and the height of each is approximately 2,5 meters. One tank is 6 mm high in the photo, the second is 12 mm. You put up a pole 2,5 m high and take a photo with this camera so that its height in the photo is 12 mm. Measure this distance between the location of the camera and the pole. Let's say it is 100 meters. This means the distance between the tanks was 100 meters." If the distance is 50 m between the camera and the tank, then the distance between the tanks is about 50 meters. But at short distances, you cannot use the assumption that the sine of the angle multiplied by the radius is equal to the arc length. But in this problem it was necessary to know whether the distance between the combat vehicles was 20 meters or 200 meters and whether it was possible to cover them with one cluster munition?

                        Let's say it's 100 meters. This means the distance between the tanks was 100 meters." If the distance is 50 meters between the camera and the tank, then the distance between the tanks is about 50 meters.

                        But what is possible here is not a decrease in the distance between tanks, but a decrease in linear magnification (reduction in focal length). When decreasing the linear magnification, you need to move closer to the pole, and when increasing the linear magnification, you need to move further from the pole to get the same 12 mm in the photo. That is, if we do not know the camera from which the shooting was taken and the focal length at which the shooting was taken from that camera, then this method does not work.

                        There's probably a locator, a generator, and several launchers there. And not all of them are lined up in a strict line towards the shooting location. Although in the case of two objects on the same axis, you are right. But there is a method for determining the distance by

                        Without knowledge of linear magnification (zoom) - no way. The distance to the subject is equal to the ratio of the actual size of the object to the size of its image, multiplied by the linear magnification. This is without taking into account aberrations and deviation of the determined object size from the focal plane, naturally. And if the zoom on that camera is correct.

        When China's air defense became effective, China immediately intercepted the spy plane, and then the Chinese Foreign Ministry began to scribble memoranda.

      Fighterbonber about the lame UMPC.

      Ukrainians had a working UMPK even before the war. Why they didn't put it into production I don't know. Why they decided to make them today I also don't really understand, because they are already piling up mountains of ready-made glide bombs for them. Moreover, the time of the UMPK is slowly running out. Electronic warfare is becoming more and more widespread on both sides.
      It works for both our own and other people’s satellite guidance systems, as a result of which the accuracy of the UMPC deteriorates to critical levels and will continue to deteriorate. The prospect lies in more advanced inertial navigation systems and correction systems that cannot be interfered with.

      In a modern war, anything can happen, and the use of the R-73 close combat missile with TGS has already taken place in Ukraine. As for the Vietnam War, of course there were no such “dog dumps” as in the VM. Due to the lack of radar and guided missiles, the MiG-17 and J-6 pilots used guns, but tried to avoid protracted battles. The MiG-21 pilots practiced surprise attacks using the R-3S missile launcher, exiting the attack at maximum speed. It is worth saying that the MiG-21 had a weak RP-21 radar, and they were usually directed from the ground. F-4 pilots relied on powerful radars and could use radar-guided AIM-7 missiles against targets that were not visually observable. In close combat, the Americans usually used AIM-9 with TGS, and guns last.

    That is, an air defense system (MANPADS) is needed that will protect the air defense system. It sounds, of course, so-so. But this is a modern reality.

    Nothing new, long-range complexes were always covered by short-range complexes and anti-aircraft guns. This is exactly how the air defense system has always been built. What’s new in the system is the appearance of drones, which means it is necessary to strengthen anti-aircraft artillery and, possibly, supplement it with anti-aircraft machine guns.

      This whole system has one serious drawback. An attack from below from a nose-up position is poorly detected by radar. They don't even have to come close. AIM-120 reaches targets at a distance of 120 km. And on a collision course it will be even faster.

      Unfortunately, we will soon suffer the grief of the lack of regularly hovering aircraft and AWACS UAVs in the air. All that can be seen now is the duty of several pairs of Su-35 and Su-57 with URVV-77 along with ducklings. According to the idea, their avionics will be able to see Fu-16s clinging to the ground and immediately destroy them. But this is a half measure. The Fu-16 can be effectively and efficiently destroyed only with the presence of AWACS in the air.

By the way, on October 15, 2022, when the Ukrainian Su-27 and Su-24 were shot down at a distance of 217 km, the S-300V4 air defense system was used, most likely this long-range missile.

              There is a UN definition from 1974, and there are very recent statements from the Russian Foreign Ministry. Both by definition and by statement (and by simple logic), providing one’s territory to the troops of one state to attack another state is participation in the conflict on the side of the first state. In February 2022, the territory of Belarus was used by Russian troops not only for missile and air strikes on Ukraine, but also for the invasion of a 30-strong Russian ground force (the one that was marching on Kyiv). Belarus has been a participant in the conflict from the very beginning.

    The Americans provide data on the location of our air defense systems, and they also guide them. The lack of casemates at airfields is already our sloppiness and lack of readiness for war. And while we are coddling the US intelligence, satellite and aviation, they will continue to hammer us. But... The Chief radiates calm... because we are in Paradise. If anything.

            Naturally, no one shot it down, but there could have been an attempt, perhaps one engine was shot down and the plane made it to the airfield. But the fall of a plane the size of a Boeing 747 does not go unnoticed (well, perhaps only the mystically missing Malaysian Boeing in the ocean), there were 20 people in the plane, if it had fallen into the Azov Sea there would have been a rescue operation with dozens of ships and tugs. Satellite images were already hanging printed at the Rada in Kyiv.

      The funny thing is that from all the weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Link-16 system is removed, so that God forbid it gets to us, so NATO cannot direct anything directly. The only thing they can, and most likely do, is transmit intelligence data, but not directly to the carrier. And if they had also led, the situation would have looked even sadder for us. That is why the Swedes want to transfer their flying radars; recently there was information that the Ukrainians, with the assistance of friends from NATO, are creating their own analogue to link all systems, but for 2 years there have been no results.

        The S-400 Vityaz was developed to protect the S-350

        The S-350 was designed to close the gap in the air defense of the VKS between the BD air defense systems (S-300PM** and S-400) and the Pantsirs. For after the decommissioning of the old S-75 and S-125, it suddenly turned out that the air defense forces only have long-range air defense systems (with an ever-increasing range) and self-defense air defense systems. And between them - nothing. The introduction of medium-range missiles into the S-300 and S-400 BCs did not solve the problem - these complexes still remained expensive and few in number. It got to the point that the army with their Buks was involved in the country's air defense. The air defense forces needed an SD air defense system - massive and less expensive than the “three hundredth” family, and with a large ammo capacity ready for launch.

          Why is the S-350 less expensive than the “200th” family? The situation here is similar to the situation with the S-400. For the S-350, the tasks changed and a different air defense system was required. The “trick” of the S-90 is to work in a circle on subsonic targets and aircraft, as well as triangulate the PAP with its own means without the use of missiles. The development of Vityaz dates back to the XNUMXs of the last century. Alas, he was very late.

      It won't save you. Embankment is good when the enemy is using high-explosive monoblocks - then yes, it saves you from the shock wave and fragments of nearby explosions. But now the positions of the air defense systems are covered with cluster warheads.
      Quote: Graz
      why aren't there several spare positions?

      A reserve position saves only if the enemy relies exclusively on RTR in reconnaissance of air defense positions. Then yes - the division fired back, simultaneously unmasking the main position by going on air, quickly folded, went to a reserve position, turned around and fell silent. All information about the air situation comes only from the command post; their radios are silent (the radar operates as an equivalent). The enemy does not see the radar in the radio range - until the first launch from a new position.
      But this whole idyll collapses if the enemy uses other types of reconnaissance: visual and radar, from UAVs and satellites. Once he detects the movement of the division's column, a warm welcome awaits him at the new command post.

          That’s right, the A-50 should patrol close to the Belarus-Ukraine border and give target designations to the S-300V4 launchers, which, in theory, should also be stationed on the Belarus-Ukraine border, the 40N6E missile will in this case completely cover the sky of Western Ukraine, Lukashenko can do not give the go-ahead, then the launcher will be placed at the Bryansk region-Ukraine border (of course, without radars and everything is very secretive). The control center will provide A-50 over Belarus. If the A-50 is not enough, naturally our Defense Ministry will supply it. because This is a hunt for the damn F-16).

    The author is silent about the fact that the F-16 still needs to take off and fly to the detection point of the Su-34.
    Iskanders and Daggers are already preparing for their take-off clearing.
    The author is also mistaken in the chronology of requests that have not yet died out.
    F-16s were requested there long before our success with the UMPC.

    The use of Falcons no longer poses a danger to the Su-34, in the Kursk region,
    and more air defense missile systems defending Crimea, and the Black Sea Fleet ships that still remain in Sevastopol.
    Aircraft speed and air-to-ground missile launches combined with drone and ground missile attacks,
    will increase the risk of hitting our targets precisely in Crimea.
    And Swedish-Ukrainian AWACS, given our commitment to complying with international standards,
    will also fly with impunity only in neutral waters.

    My opinion: Falcons are the southern front. The distance is shortest to Crimea.
    And distance is also the main criterion for keeping stolen aircraft in front of sponsors.
    As the history of the Northern Military District shows, Ukrainians and foreign equipment will be protected from unnecessary contact to the extreme.

    But if this happens, and there is a gap in the defense of Crimea, the Pentagon will come up with a new tactic for them.

    And here the F-16, which is much newer than the remaining (if such a thing exists) MiG-29 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, can play a very important role, since it operates in the NATO information network and can receive target designation from AWACS aircraft and NATO satellites.

    Someone, explain to the author where NATO AWACS are located and what they can transmit. Well, about satellites at the same time.

    F-16, an aircraft that is not much better than the MiG-29 and Su-27 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and certainly worse than Russian modern fighters.
    And also explain to the author about the difference between the transferred F16 and the first series of MiG-29 and Su-27 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

    why did Kyiv so persistently shake out F-16s from NATO... on our side it is also necessary to develop plans.... Will these be VNOS posts following the example of Iraqi laughing , or mobile groups with short-range air defense systems wassat wassat or MANPADS laughing , that's not the case here lol important.
    I wonder how, for example, "VNOS posts following the example of Iraqi ones". request

    The question may arise: how are Ukrainian BECs and UAVs guided by American strategic intelligence officers? It's simple: they are not so Ukrainian, they are assembled from components used by the allies, unlike the Ukrainian equipment that was assembled in Soviet times.

    The answer is that “components” have nothing to do with it (well, it’s a cargo cult, really... request ).
    BECs are directed by operators via Starlink. This is such a horizontal thing that sticks out from the BEC.
    In the UAV, IMHO, there is not even a Starlink (it is meaningless there), most likely inertial + GPS + the possibility of additional guidance on the target (different options are described).
    NATO is providing reconnaissance of targets, probably. But, IMHO, for most of the described cases of using BEC and “long-range UAVs”, Google Maps, paid images of the Earth and “alien eyes with a mobile phone” are enough - the 21st century is in the yard and it is not clear what to do with it. IMHO, for several anti-ship missiles/BEC strikes on our ships at sea, only NATO could provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with intelligence data.

    In general, if you don’t read the depressing descriptions of technical issues, the article is correct.
    Something needs to be done, taking into account the capabilities of the F16 with AIM120, the SEAD with KARMS in full, and the capabilities of striking the ground with the NATO nomenclature of bombs/missiles.
    Especially during the next “swim across the Dnieper” or “run to the south from the line from Vasilyevka to Ugledar”. 99% that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try this again, only this time under the “F16 umbrella”.

        hi
        Good afternoon!
        I agree, it would be good if authors read VO before writing articles for VO. good

        Okay, a map or a Flytradar map, maybe it’s complicated.
        Well, still, satellites broadcasting target designation directly into the F16 cockpit in flight are overkill by any standards. Yes, both BEC and UAVs, controlled "American strategic intelligence officers", because they "from components used by the Allies"It's also kind of overkill.

        Okay, you don’t have to read VO and not know what series of Migi and Su are in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and what has been modernized there.
        But can you at least read Wiki on the subject of weapons?

        Pomnitsa feel , by one author feel there was an article in which he criticized the F16 for lacking armor like the Su25, but now this is no longer the case.... Progress good , However!

    Our observers, for example, M. Kalashnikov, have been talking for 2 years about the need to conduct an air offensive operation with massive strikes on government, administrative, logistics and industrial centers to paralyze the management of Ukrainian territory. But the funny thing is that such an operation, albeit on a limited scale, will be carried out by Ukrainians using the F-16s handed over to them. After which there will be a situation in '22 2.0, when, having lost supplies, the Russian army will have to retreat again, only beyond the borders of our territory. And, by the way, this war showed the complete inconsistency of the cumbersome S-family air defense systems. The good old Buks and Torahs became the workhorses of the entire operation. The same vaunted “Pantsir” turned out to be complete rubbish, although it also demonstrated this in Syria.
    In general, it will be possible to disperse soon.

    That is, an air defense system (MANPADS) is needed that will protect the air defense system. It sounds, of course, so-so. But this is modern reality

    Do you mean so-so? Everything was invented before us.
    For example, in the KUB I Osa air defense system battery, according to the wartime states, there is a squad of anti-aircraft gunners with MANPADS. Precisely for self-defense against low-flying and suddenly appearing targets.
    Maybe it’s just time to bring the states in line with reality, or fill the empty cells, or, for example, by adding portable or transportable electronic warfare equipment and increasing the number of anti-aircraft gunners.

      Air defense tasks do not always have to be carried out using mobile systems; if their range is large and they can control large areas, for example the S-300 and S-400 in Crimea, then it is better for them to be in stationary shelters, and ideally the missiles should be in silos; however, despite the positional nature of military operations, we do not hear about the construction of protected shelters; they probably do not even build pillboxes.

      When was the last time you saw operational Shilkas? And besides, their RPK-2 radio instrument system, even during exercises in ideal test site conditions, detected no more than 30% of air targets. The probability of hitting an air target flying at a speed of 200 m/s when passing through the zone for the ZU-23 is 0,02, and for the ZPU it is clearly no higher. These installations can be effective against attack aircraft and helicopters, but not against anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles. In addition, their crews need to be given target designation, and a strike from the above weapons flying at low altitude is always sudden. We have nothing better than the Pantsir air defense system for protecting the S-300/400.

    Well, actually this issue is resolved quite simply. Without a bunch of soldiers rushing back and forth with MANPADS. Ever since World War II, bombers have been working under the cover of fighters. Therefore, it is necessary to use the SU-34 with the cover of the SU-35 or even the SU-57. These fighters have a powerful radar and very long-range missiles, allowing them to detect and shoot the F-16 from a safe distance, even before it reaches the strike position.

    But I’m wondering why the launchers should be placed so close to the radar installation and control points. If it is for data exchange, then radio communication has been invented for a hundred years already, and if it is jammed, then optical communication, etc., etc. I think with a laser you can transmit data to the horizon... And there is also all sorts of quantum magic and other things that are inexplicable for the average person. What prevents the radar from being connected in a chain so that if one is lost, it will be picked up by another.

    If this is not done because there are no polymers and other money, then what is more expensive - the loss of the division or selling a couple of dachas with 1000+ square meters that came from somewhere from individual figures.

They should switch to optics - fiber optics (if you want to keep the crew busy carrying cables) or without cables, directly (the crew still needs to orient the launcher to the control panel - let them at the same time orient the receiver-transmitter on the control panel to the control panel).

      We miscalculated something, but... If NATO had not fully integrated itself, putting the whole of Ukraine on its back, everything would have ended in March. By the way, they themselves admitted it. So the calculation may have been that the system would not withstand the impact. Actually, until the fall, forces numerically smaller than the enemy’s were completely pressing. But with reinforcements deployed, fully trained by NATO and revised tactics, it was possible to destroy our practically non-existent defense. Again, the decision was made not based on the fact that we will ruin everything right now, but on the basis that if we don’t start right now, then in a day or two the offensive on Donbass will begin.

How was it emphasized in every possible way that volunteer battalions are Nazis and punitive forces, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are something completely different? At the same time, everything that contradicted the official point of view was rejected and hushed up in every possible way - such as the predominance of immigrants from the east and center of Ukraine in the troops leading the ATO, or the direct participation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in terrorist attacks on the cities of Novorossiya.
      In general, once again we stepped on a rake: the foreign proletarian is our friend, comrade and brother, and at the sight of the Red Army he will turn his bayonets against the oppressors.
      Comrade Mehlis was right...
      The harmful prejudice was deeply rooted that the supposedly population of the countries entering the war with the USSR would inevitably, almost without exception, rise and go over to the side of the Red Army, that the workers and peasants would meet us with flowers. This false belief arises from ignorance of the actual situation in neighboring countries. The war in Finland showed that we did not conduct political intelligence in the northern regions and therefore did not know with what slogans to go to this population and how to conduct work among them. We often treated peasants as a working class, but it turns out that this peasant is a big fist, a Shutskorovets, and he reacts in his own way. Collision with reality demagnetizes our fighter and commander, who is used to viewing the population of foreign countries from a general - superficial point of view. We need to know what the population of this or that country lives and is interested in.
      It must be said that in the field of the political study of the enemy we have made more than one mistake and we have small achievements in work among the troops and population of the enemy.

    The topic is very interesting, but unfortunately it is not fully covered. The author is not entirely correct in places.
    For example:
    Considering that in those years the air defense systems and the radars serving them were very bulky and not very mobile, this was easier to do than today...

    Let's compare the dimensions of the SNR-75 and the RPN 30N6, as well as the P-18 radar and the 35D6 radar?
    Considering that the SA-75M SAM system used in Vietnam (there was no S-75 there) with the V-750 liquid-propellant SAM differed from the S-300P SAM system as a matchlock musket differs from a modern assault rifle, the comparisons are more than strange. In terms of mobility, the SA-75M SAM system was certainly inferior to the S-300P, but the air attack means were also different. And it was no easier to fight air defense systems then than it is now. No.

    Why did they suddenly remember the F-16? After all, they said that the airfields from which these planes take off are subject to destruction. Or is there not enough courage and determination to fulfill this? Damn, when will our promises not diverge from their fulfillment? Where did this ash-plane that hit Russian territory take off from and where did it land? Or do we see this, but not what is far away?

    Skomorokhov has become a graphomaniac. The article is too long with elementary truths. You need to write briefly, concisely, and not pour water. As for the answers to the F-16 deliveries, there won't be any under this supreme non-commander. Did the downed Russian Il-76 over Russian Belgorod from the American Patriot change anything?

    The gap in the means of reconnaissance and surveillance of the air and ground situation is becoming increasingly clear. And the availability of timely information about the situation in the air is more important than any super-maneuverability for the aircraft and the pilot.
    Unfortunately, there will be no breakthrough against AWACS aircraft. We have also not heard of reconnaissance aircraft based on the TU-204. Weak hope for the satellite component. Large UAVs for the AWACS function were also not announced.
    Under such conditions, covering the S-300/400 will always be a problem. Alternatively: constant change of positions and maximum dispersion. At least in areas close to the northwestern district. I think that covering them with something like “Shell” is already spelled out in the documents. Most likely, there is simply a lack of these systems.

      So the article is about the F-16, how to catch these bastards, and not that there is not enough air defense, of course there is not enough, you can't cover thousands of kilometers for sure. But if suddenly a secret team is created to develop measures to hunt for the F-16, with the involvement of both land air defense and space reconnaissance, etc., then there is a chance, you can catch them

    For NATO structures everything is simpler, where an AWACS aircraft can carry out target designation directly to its aircraft using its own communication channels

    1. Ukraine now has 2 NATO AWACS aircraft. Those. Theoretically they can aim at the target themselves.
    2. Naturally, the United States will direct. Airplanes and missiles do not care from whom they receive information

    “against our Su-30SM2 and Su-35S it means nothing, and so much has been written about it that I don’t want to repeat it. As an attack aircraft against ground targets, it’s the same dull phenomenon” ///
    ---
    Both theses are a delusion and an underestimation of the enemy.
    1) The Su-16 poses a serious threat to the F-57. And a certain threat - the Su-35.
    The F-16 is quite capable of outmaneuvering other fighters in the air. Especially in a group battle.
    2) Ground strikes - here the F-16 is the champion. The suspended rangefinder pylons tracking the target allow for precise attacks on not only stationary but also moving targets. Sticking a missile into a high-speed motorcycle is not difficult for the F-16.
    In this it is far ahead of the Su-34.

    Here I would like to think that the problems will be solved in a comprehensive manner, and the solution proposed by the author is certainly logical and has a right to exist, but I would classify it more as a so-called passive means of protection.
    Further. Referring, among other things, to the rhetoric of the official Kremlin on the possible use of F16 by Ukraine, I will venture to suggest that we have some kind of ace up our sleeve on this topic.
    More precisely. There have been repeated statements from the Russian side that the emerging F16s will become a legitimate target for us.
    It’s worth adding here: a priority goal.
    That is: an enemy aircraft is not a needle - it is visible on radars and from satellites.
    Regular strikes by our Aerospace Forces on enemy airfields, incl. are aimed at suppressing possible infrastructure for servicing F16s and themselves, if they are already there.
    The West also understands this and is seriously considering the possibility of F16s operating from airfields outside of Ukraine.
    Here our "sword thrusts" with high-precision, yet non-nuclear weapons at base airfields (possibly Romania, Poland) become logical. Well, i.e. if a strike is carried out, including by aircraft, on our territory from the territory of NATO countries, then what remains for us?
    It is worth noting here that this is exactly what Zelensky passionately desires. Push Russia and NATO into conflict.
    The West understands this too. And, until the very end, they refrained from using NATO-made combat aircraft. Obviously, events in the Ukrainian theater of operations are unfolding in a very "wrong direction" for them.

    One way to minimize damage to air defense systems from cluster munitions like ATACMS is to bury the launcher tubes in the ground. This will be easier for systems like S-400/300 that launches vertically. One can have as many as such subsurface tubes as possible in such a way that will make it difficult for the other side to distinguish between loaded and unloaded tubes.

    Unfortunately, air defense officers as a new class of warriors are very poorly represented in cinema, literature and the media. I remember comparing the officers of the S-75 division where my uncle served with the representatives of the geological community of my father. Unlike the geologists, my father's friends - tall, cheerful, strong guys always celebrating something and singing songs at the table (I did not suspect then that they worked insanely hard and these feasts were a release once a month or less often) the officers did not have such a violent temper. They were slim, fit young men with quite intelligent faces. Almost all of them worked abroad and therefore near each cottage for 2 families there were garages with brand new Volgas. Their favorite hobby was hunting and fishing. The division commander liked to show off his pride and joy - a Sauer 3-ring hunting rifle. Later, when I was a student at the Mining Institute, I was not very serious about my military studies. We, future reserve officers of the air defense, skipped classes, ran away from school, and in every way prevented teachers from teaching us the profession of defenders of the sky. But today, when American missiles are bombing us, I pray to my defenders, the glorious border guards of the sky!

    That's true. Our paratroopers defeat enemies with their hands, it's good that not with the power of thought. And so I remembered the 1964 film "Keys to the Sky" with Alexander Linkov, remember - Hey, Fisherman? By the way, this film has a very high rating, higher than "In the Zone of Special Attention". There is just S75, and they filmed in Crimea, on Cape Opuk, now only the embankment of the positions remains, I was there.

    What worries me more is that at least 30% of Ukrainian missile and drone attacks reach their targets by breaking through our air defenses. (And I don’t need to write about isolated cases of complete reflection). And these are just one-time attacks by the Western and Ukrainians themselves with their own weapons. What will happen if all NATO forces launch all their missiles and drones at our rear and important targets?

    In the current conditions of the so-called SVO, with its "emphasis" on non-Zhukov offensive operations by armies and fronts, the answer to the question in Roman Skomorokhov's article "lies" on the surface. With such tactics and strategy of war, for a multipolar, denazification world, a deeply echeloned air defense and missile defense of the LBS and the territory of the Russian Federation is needed... And about the F-16, for Mr. Skomorokhov, I will repeat... This device is a fairly successful solution of the American aviation industry, with a good reliable "engine", excellent avionics, means of conducting network-centric warfare, successful electronic warfare, sufficient weapons for a light fighter or a platform for launching cruise missiles....

    There will be no use of nuclear weapons. Nobody needs this. The plan was to conduct a small victorious special operation. Now they are waging war because, well, they can’t just give back. And there on the horizon some option will turn up. Some expect Putin to leave, others that Trump will come, something will happen over time, sooner or later. And the fact that people are dying and cities are being destroyed is strangers and strangers’ houses, that’s their logic.

    Until 2022, I didn’t believe that this could begin. Now I believe that ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING can happen. And I’m afraid many people believe this, which is why the tension continues

    I want to. But. Surovikin, in whom people believed in some unknown place. Although Prigozhin was not a general, he was a patriot, and what happened to him? Popov was arrested. And the minister was simply transferred to another position, but he probably turned out to be just like the elusive Joe. So who should think about that? Or who to trust?

    That is, an air defense system (MANPADS) is needed that will protect the air defense system. It sounds, of course, so-so. But this is a modern reality.

    Layered air defense is not a new and good idea, but I think we will need more of our own AWACS aircraft with which we can hit falcons with missiles not only of air defense systems but also with long-range SU-35 missiles!

    The Soviet echeloned military air defense, where air defense systems of various classes and fighter aircraft worked in tandem, had already shown their worth. For example, in Syria in 1973, when more than 100 air defense systems of various classes (S-75, S-125, Kvadrat, Osa, Strela-1 on the BRDM) in conjunction with the MiG-21 staged a small Armageddon attack on the Israeli aviation. Then, for the first time, the Jews were unable to immediately gain absolute air supremacy and suffered very serious losses in aviation.
    The problem is that the apologists of the “compact contract army” have reduced the number of air force and air defense units to minuscule amounts. There are simply not enough air defense systems and aircraft in numbers to prevent the air defense forces from being overloaded with enemy attack weapons.
    Indeed, ideally, air defense units should form a continuous front, and in any direction, three air defense units should be positioned so that the flank units (regiments, divisions) completely cover the cover zone of the central regiment (division). And this division is a kind of “ambush regiment” that enters the battle at a critical moment, bringing a turning point.
    It is also natural that long-range air defense systems should be covered by standard short-range air defense systems - air defense systems or short-range air defense systems (Tunguska, Pantsir, Tor).
    And this requires staff adjustments. For example, the S-300V air defense system, in addition to 16-24 launchers of the S-300V air defense missile system, must normally have at least 8-12 air defense systems and at least one Tor air defense missile launcher per battery.
    Also, the position areas of long-range air defense systems should be covered by fighters and Su-35/Su-57. It is these fighters that must be the first to engage enemy aircraft. The lifting of the F-16 should immediately cause the appearance of our "dryers" with long-range air-to-air missiles in the air.
    But, I repeat, the main problem is the small number of both ground-based air defense units and fighter aircraft. After all, apologists for the “compact contract army” out of hand rejected even the theoretical possibility of an armed clash with “respected Western partners.” That’s why air defense was built against tramps in slippers with AKMs and RPGs.
