Residents of Okinawa await the arrival of American convertiplanes with horror


The US authorities will send more 12 advanced Osprey aircraft to Japan. The head of the Pentagon, Chuck Heigl, agreed on this at a meeting with the Minister of Defense of Japan, Itsunori Onodera.

America is increasing its military presence in Japan, and this is causing more and more discontent among the population of Okinawa Prefecture. It is on this island that the main part of US military facilities is located. On Monday, it was decided to transfer to Okinawa another squadron of Osprey convertoplanes, which Japanese residents consider to be unsafe.

"We confirm the deployment of the second squadron of MV-22 in Japan, which will take place this summer and which will increase our military capabilities in the region," ITAR-TASS quoted the head of the American military department.

At the same time, residents of the Japanese island believe that convertible planes are dangerous for the population, because this type of weapon has not yet proved its reliability. The Japanese fear that a new type of American transport workers may fall on residential areas.

Convertible Osprey is an aircraft with turning screws that work as lifting (during takeoff and landing) and pulling (during horizontal flight). Thus, the V-22 Osprey can move in aircraft and helicopter modes. In the first case, it can reach speeds of up to 463 km / h, and in the second, up to 185 km / h. Osprey is equipped with two Rolls-Royce T406 engines. This is the only convertiplane used for military purposes.

      For renting a base in Okinawa, I hope I haven't forgotten, the Americans pay 180 million a year and no additional "taxes". And they hold whatever weapons they want, nuclear at least.

      On the requirements to withdraw the base, the Americans rolled out Japan bill for this - 3 billion. $

      You cannot compare with the "conditions" that our brothers have created for the Black Sea Fleet.

          Enola Gay (B-29-45-MO, serial number 44-86292) was part of the 509 special air group, consisting of 15 B-29 bombers modified for the delivery of nuclear weapons, based on Tinian, an island in the Mariana Islands chain. Enola Gay was personally selected by Paul Tibbets, commander of the 509th Special Air Group, on May 9, 1945, at the assembly line of the Glenn L. Martin Company factory in Omaha, Nebraska. Before the bombing of Hiroshima, Enola Gay completed 8 training and 2 combat missions, and 31 July 1945 rehearsed the atomic bomb drop using the model of the bomb "Kid". On August 5, the plane was named Tibbets in honor of his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets. On August 6, the world's first atomic bombing was carried out from an airplane. Subsequently, having changed several locations, the aircraft was transferred to the National Museum of Aviation and Cosmonautics of the United States.

          NPO Energomash OJSC sold Russian RD-180 rocket engines for American Atlas-5 launch vehicles for half the cost of their production, according to the materials of the RF Audit Chamber.
          "In this regard, only in 2008-2009, the loss from their sales amounted to about 880 million rubles, or almost 68% of all Energomash losses," the materials say.

          By the way, the rights to it belong to the Americans, at one time they even wanted to start production at home.

          And about Unions, Popovkin spoke as follows:
          Frankly speaking, this is not a joy for Roscosmos, but a great responsibility. The production of serial "Soyuz" and their testing requires significant efforts and resources, including the design bureau of the "Energia" corporation. Instead of creating and developing new means of transport and technical support for crews within the framework of a promising manned system, our specialists are forced to accompany the production of serial vehicles.

          Americans prefer rational decisions, and they fly on Russian technology not because they can’t do their own thing, but because while it’s more profitable for them. This is a fundamental difference from the Russian space industry, which is forced to buy Electronics Industry, because Space does not sell them the State Department, for example.

    ... since 2007, the use of Osprey has demonstrated sufficient safety even in the most adverse flight conditions imaginable. Combat losses were noted only once: in 2010, in Afghanistan, the Air Force-owned CV-22 missed its landing zone, hit a ditch with a wheel and rolled over. As a result, four out of twenty people on board died. “For ten years, Osprey has proven itself to be the safest combat rotary aircraft of all that has been used in active forces,” confirms Richard Whittle, author of Dream Machine - An Unknown History of the Osprey’s infamous CV-22.

    Osprey has already demonstrated its advantages during the fighting. Compared to the Sea Knight helicopter, Osprey not only lifts a much larger load, but is also able to carry it four times as much. In addition, both special forces and marines have already estimated the speed of the convertiplane, which is considered one of the most significant parameters.

    In 2010, a helicopter crashed during a raid in Afghanistan, and dozens of special forces were under mortar and machine-gun fire. Helicopters sent for help were forced to return, stopped by dust storms and high peaks of the Hindu Kush, and only two CV-22s made a rescue mission with a shoulder of 1200 km. To fly over the ridge, they had to climb to a height of 4500 m. As a result, 32 American soldiers were rescued in less than four hours. A year later, the pilot of the F-15 crashed plane in Libya was picked up by the MV-22 tiltrotor plane, taking off from the deck of an amphibious assault ship. Pilots of naval aviation delivered a loser pilot to their base, located 240 km from the scene of the accident, and all this took only 30 minutes.

    U.S. Air Force Major Brian Luce, a pilot from the 8th Special Forces Squadron, flipped in convertiplanes in Afghanistan and saw with his own eyes how, when they got acquainted with this technique, skeptics turned into enthusiasts. “Some people looked at our devices with doubt,” he says, “but then, flying with us, they saw that from point A to point B you can get to Osprey in record time.” According to Luce, the merits of convertiplanes quickly became convinced of the operational command, and among staff officers. “The speed of the CV-22 and its range never ceases to amaze,” he says. “The command understands this and plans its tactics and its operations, relying on our capabilities” ...

    Japanese love Americans, but don't like Russians

    A opinion poll showed that the Japanese have friendly feelings for America. 82% of Japanese people surveyed love America and only 16% are negative towards this country. The last time the Japanese had such an ardent love for the United States back in 1978.

    This graph shows how the attitude of the Japanese towards the Russians, Chinese and Americans has changed from 2001 to 2011. The attitude towards the Chinese is so-so, and the Japanese do not like Russians, perhaps because of disputes about the Kuril Islands, and besides, Russia is an incomprehensible country for them.

    It is a pity that the Japanese are unfair to Russia, because we are so good. And the Japanese should have forgotten about the Kuril Islands.

    Actually, the Japanese have nothing to resent. They were too atrocious during the war. Only they prefer not to recall this.

    A LITTLE HISTORY:
    - The conditions in German concentration camps were simply resort compared to the Japanese labor camps in Burma and Manjuria. There, the captured British and Chinese worked 24 hours a day until they died of exhaustion, hunger, thirst (usually a person was enough for 3-5 days). They simply were not fed (WHY?). In a tropical climate and unbearable sanitary conditions, people rotted alive. The huge casualties in Europe can be judged by the German archives (they didn’t have time to destroy them), the exact number of victims in Japanese camps is not clear, but given the number of Chinese and English prisoners of war (up to 300 British and several million Chinese) equal.
    - “Detachment 731 ″ unit, which tested live Chinese and up to (10 people) bacteriological weapons (you should read what they did, experiments on women and children, etc.).
    - Nankin slaughter is one of the worst crimes of the 2nd world. Up to 500 Chinese were killed and about 000 raped women and girls (most of whom were later either killed or committed suicide). Compared to the “humane” gas chambers, people were abused here until the last breath. Officers of the imperial army conducted "social competitions" in cutting down the heads of prisoners (everything was filmed by operators and printed in newspapers). Plus, more than 50 prisoners from occupied Singapore and Manila killed in a similar scenario.
    -Even in the most difficult period of 1941, the USSR was forced to hold 2 armies in the Far East to repel possible aggression. This certainly affected the number of victims in our occupied territories.
    -After all the battles in Europe, we had to kick the Japanese out of China in 1945. The Kwantung army was crushed in a month (like shit under a boot).
    Their territorial claims, as the losing side, are simply unlawful (even immoral).
    And they are happy with the Americans. They even like the bases on their territory. Although the Americans spat on their wishes. They do what they want.

    And their current behavior towards Russia.
    There have been many cases in history when, in order to strengthen friendship, Russia donated its lands to other states, as a result of receiving a gift these countries continued to hate Russia. If the question is either land or the love of the Japanese, then we do not need the love of the Japanese! The Japanese make themselves worse with their hatred, poisoning their health with this negative feeling.

      Khrushchev’s proposals, not relevant for a long time, and all sorts of hints from Yeltsin, continue to nourish the wild imagination of japas.
      Once upon a time it was time to declare Japan clearly and clearly - the Kuril Islands are an integral part of the Russian Federation and will never be given to anyone and will not be transferred! Only after full realization of this fact, relations between the two countries will begin to improve.

    the inhabitants of the Japanese island believe that convertiplanes are dangerous for the population, because this type of weapon has not yet proved its reliability. The Japanese fear that a new type of American transport may fall into residential neighborhoods.

    Yes, though they will fall what. From their beloved Yankees, they all take atomic bombs and convertiplanes. It seems narrowly worried not that they will fall, but that they all reach North Korea or the Kuril Islands to quench their imperialist ambitions.
    V-22 Osprey Range:
    combat radius - 690 km;
    the radius of action during the landing load is 722 km;
    practical range - 1 km (without refueling);
    The distance from Vladivostok to the Japanese naval bases on the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido is 800 - 900 km.

The city of Yuzhno-Kurilsk is the district center of the South Kuril region. Which includes two inhabited islands: Kunashir itself with an area of ​​1.548 square meters. km (length - 123 km, width - from 4 to 30 km) and Shikotan with an area of ​​only 182 square meters. km, as well as a lot of small and very small uninhabited islands: Aivazovsky, Anuchin, Grieg, Dalniy, Ninth Val, Demina, Zeleny, Shards, Polonsky, Reef, Signal, Storozhevoy, Tanfilyev, Yuri.

    "Okinawans await the arrival of American convertiplanes with horror." Typical agitation from the heyday of stagnation. Residents of Okinawa can wait with horror only that America decides to withdraw its bases from Okinawa and they. Okinawans are largely unemployed. And to fall on their head, in which case, enough gifts and without convertoplanes. But people live for today and today's penny in their pockets and a liter of milk for a child is now much closer and more important to them than hypothetical gifts in the future. And all the protests shown from time to time on TV are nothing more than an attempt by all kinds of "peace fighters" to knock out of the "American occupiers" a superfluous extra penny for their loved ones. They, the "fighters", just have to work. It’s much easier to knock people into protesting crowds and earn your grain of bread and butter. And there is no difference between the "fighters" of Okinawa and the "fighters" of Bolotnaya. It is already a profession to fight. It doesn't matter for what, as long as they pay. Otherwise, you will have to go to the plant or in the field and work hard. Terror is cleaner than tiltrotors belay

    100% reliability does not exist. Including aircraft. And the tiltrotor is also a difficult machine to operate, and here a lot depends on the pilot's skill. But judging by the fact that not only the US but also other countries began to order a tiltrotor, it is more likely with technical reliability there to be more or less at an acceptable level. Yes, and these vehicles were run-in in the difficult climatic and combat conditions of Afghanistan. This is not flying landfills

Somehow, to go as low as possible between the mountains, hover, quickly land people and leave.
