August 2008 of the year. War in the air

101


M. Saakashvili’s coming to power was marked by a rise in nationalist sentiment in Georgia. And without that, the not too friendly policy towards Russia has become openly hostile. Wanting to enter history as a “statist” and “land gatherer” M. Saakashvili unleashed in the media hysteria about the allegedly “aggressive intentions of the northern neighbor” and “the return of the originally Georgian territories”.

August 2008 of the year. War in the air


Information warfare was accompanied by unprecedented military preparations. The military budget was increased several times, the army began to be transferred to a contract basis, large-scale purchases of weapons and military equipment abroad began. The largest partners in the supply weapons became Ukraine and Israel.

The United States rendered significant free military assistance to equip the Georgian army with modern communications, small arms and helicopters. And also in the training of personnel. The states of Eastern Europe also participated in the renewal and strengthening of Georgian air defense.

The situation in the zone of presence of the Russian peacekeeping forces began to heat up long before the transition to the stage of full-scale conflict.
Regular shelling and provocations were accompanied by reconnaissance flights over the territory of South Ossetia and Abkhazia UAV "Hermes-450", an Israeli production.



In the period to June 2008, five "Hermes-450" were received from Israel, two vehicles were shot down by Russian fighters.

GEORGIAN air force and air defense before war in ossetia

By the beginning of August 2008, the number of personnel of the Georgian Air Force was 1813 people. The main strike force was the 12 attack aircraft Su-25 (of which 10 - in single and two - in double combat training options).
Most of them were collected from the Soviet side of the Tbilisi plant “Tbilaviamsheni”, the rest were bought in Macedonia, which in turn acquired them in Ukraine.



Starting from 2001, the Georgian attack aircraft (according to various data from 6 to 10 units) were upgraded by the Israeli firm "Elbit Systems" with a complete replacement of on-board electronic equipment.



The updated machines received the index Su-25KM and the name "Scorpion". However, the Georgians themselves call them "Mimino" but not in honor of the character of the famous comedy, simply "mimino" in Georgian means "falcon".

In addition, there were several military transport vehicles An-24, An-32 and An-72, 12 of the Czechoslovak combat-training aircraft L-39 "Albatross" (six of them are also former Ukrainian) and nine older combat-training L- 29 Dolphin.

The helicopter fleet was represented by one Mi-35, three Mi-24P, four Mi-24В (most of the attack helicopters of the Mi-24 family were received from Ukraine), two Mi-14, sixteen Mi-8, six American Bell-212, the same number UH-1Н Iroquois and two Mi-2.


Mi-24 Georgian Air Force


The main location of the Georgian Air Force was the Marneuli airbase with a developed infrastructure, inherited by the Georgians from Soviet times. They constantly housed Su-25 attack aircraft, and training and combat vehicles. The helicopters were based partly at the Novo-Alekseyevka airfield near Tbilisi, partly at Senaki.

Georgian military air bases have strong, well-protected reinforced concrete shelters for aircraft. However, they were built in the 60-e - 70-e years of the last century and are designed for the dimensions of combat vehicles of the time, such as the MiG-21, Su-7, Su-17, MiG-23 and MiG-27, the last three could fit in them only with folded wings.



Su-25 can be “squeezed” into such a shelter only by undoing its wing console. Therefore, the Georgian “mimino” and “rooks” constantly stood in the open air, and relatively small training “dolphins” and “albatrosses” were kept in shelters.

After the collapse of the USSR, Georgia received the stationary C-75 and C-125 air defense systems, which were located in positions in the Tbilisi area. But by the time the conflict began, due to the lack of proper maintenance, they were all not combat-ready. Repeatedly reported in the media about the presence in Georgia of the former Ukrainian long-range air defense systems C-200 later turned out to be false. However, this is not surprising: there was no point in buying a clearly outdated, bulky, immobile and difficult to operate anti-aircraft anti-aircraft system using liquid fuel.

Shortly before the start of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict, a separate anti-aircraft missile division (OZRDN) was formed and put into operation, consisting of three much more modern anti-aircraft missile systems 9K37М1 "Buk-М1", received in June 2007 from Ukraine. Each complex consisted of four self-propelled fire installations (SOW) with four missiles each. It was this mobile division that took the most active part in the hostilities.



The second division of "beeches" was never formed. The materiel and the stock of missiles for him came from Ukraine on the ferry "Heroes of Pleven" 12 on June 2008, but the Georgians did not have time to train the calculations and put the division into operation. Subsequently, he was captured by Russian paratroopers.

The structure of the military air defense system consisted of two Osa-AK ZNK 9KZMM2 and one Osa-AKM ZRK 9KЗЗЗЗ batteries. All 12 combat vehicles with six missiles on each, however, it is not known how many of them were combat-capable. Information passed that part of the "Os" Georgians dismantled for parts.


SAM "OCA-AKM"


In addition, the Georgians had a number of 57-mm anti-aircraft guns C-60,15 23-mm ZSU-23-4 "Shilka", around 20 units ZU-23 on various self-propelled chassis, 30 MANPADS "Thunder" and about 100 rockets (Polish version of the Soviet 9K310 “Needle-1” MANPADS), as well as several dozen 9K32М Strela-2М. The Georgian “know-how” was equipping the calculations of MANPADS with quad bikes of increased maneuverability, which greatly increased their mobility and made it possible to quickly change firing positions.

Finally, there are allegations of the acquisition by Georgia in 2008 of one battery of the new Israeli short-range air defense system Spyder-SR. The Rafael Spyder-SR air defense system uses Python 5 and Derby air-to-air missiles as anti-aircraft missiles. There is no official confirmation of any deliveries of the Spyder-SR complex to Georgia, but the Jane's Missiles & Rockets magazine in July 2008, citing a statement from a Rafael representative, said that “the Spyder-SR complex was ordered by two foreign customers, one of which supplied the SAM on alert ".


PU ZRK "Spider"


The Israeli authorities still have not officially recognized the sale of “Spiders” to Georgia, and the Georgian leadership at the official level does not respond to reports in the press about their use in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. However, there is information about the head end of the Python rocket found in the battle zone.

The radar component of the Georgian air defense system consisted of the following types of radar: 36Д6, П-37, 5Н87, П-18, 19Ж6, PRV-9, -11, -13, ASR-12, and XRNXX, ASR-XNUMX, and XRUM-XNUMX, -XNUMX, ASR-XNUMX, XRUMX, XRNXX, ASR-XNUMX , TBILISI, MARNEULI and civilian radar integrated into a single information network.

To control the fighting used wired communication lines, radio stations operating in a secure mode of transmission of information, means of communication and data transmission for civilian purposes.

The post closest to the border with South Ossetia was located a few kilometers from the village of Shavsevebi and the Gori district. A modern Ukrainian-made 36-D6-M radar was installed on the hill. This station, with a high degree of noise immunity, is capable of detecting air targets at a distance of 360 km, that is, almost the entire territory of the North Caucasus from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea has reached the range of the Shavcheviche radar. At the same time, the station can accompany in automatic mode up to 120 targets and transmit information about them to operators of anti-aircraft missile launchers. The second such radar was installed near Tbilisi.


Destroyed Georgian 36D6-M radar


The civilian radar of the Georgian Air Service served the airports of Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi, Poti, Telavi and Marneuli. Of course, after the outbreak of hostilities, all the information from them was made available to the military.

Ukraine’s participation in the creation of the Georgian Air Force and Air Defense was not limited to the delivery of airplanes, helicopters, radars and anti-aircraft missile systems. In 2006, Kiev for 25 millions of dollars sold to Georgia a new one, created just three years earlier, the Kolchuga-M passive radio intelligence complex consisting of three reconnaissance stations.



This complex is designed to detect airborne targets by emitting their radars and communications equipment. The three stations included in it, located on the automobile chassis, are capable of covering the front up to 1000 kilometers. The maximum detection range, depending on the mode of operation, ranges from 200 to 600 kilometers.

In addition, in 2007, the Ukrainian corporation Aerotekhnika connected all the Georgian military and civilian radars, as well as the Kolchuga-M complex, into a single network of ASOC airspace monitoring (AirSovereigntyOperationsCenters). The central command post of ASOC is located in Tbilisi and since the spring of 2008 has been connected to the ASDE (AirSituationDataExchange) NATO air traffic data exchange system.

It is not known how effective Kolchuga proved in practice and what the results of its use were, since the Georgian military command, for understandable reasons, does not disclose such information. There is no information even about whether the Georgians managed to maintain this system or whether it was destroyed during the hostilities. Among the many trophies captured by the Russian army in the "five-day war", this system and its individual components are not listed.

THE BEGINNING OF COMBAT ACTION

In response to the invasion of the Georgian troops, the Russian leadership decided to launch a “peace enforcement operation” by the 58 Army of the North Caucasus Military District, stationed in North Ossetia.

On the Russian side, the following units of the 4 Air Force of the North Caucasus Military District were involved in the fighting:

368-th separate assault air regiment from Budennovsk (Su-25 and Su-25СМ, commander - Colonel Sergey Kobylash);
461-th assault air regiment from Krasnodar (Su-25, commander-colonel Valery Kushnerev);
559-th Bomber Aviation Regiment from Morozovsk (Su-24M, commander - Colonel Sergey Borodachev);
959-th bomber regiment from Yeisk (Su-24M);
11-th separate Guards Vitebsk reconnaissance air regiment from Marinovka (Su-24МР, commander - guard Colonel Vasily Neizhmak);
19-th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment from Millerovo (MiG-29, Commander - Guards Colonel Vyacheslav Kudinov);
31 Guards Nikopol Fighter Regiment from Zernograd (MiG-29, commander - Guards Colonel Oleg Soloviev);
55-th separate Sevastopol helicopter regiment from Korenovsk (Mi-8, Mi-24, commander - Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Sergeev);
325-yotdelny transport-combat helicopter regiment from Egorlykskaya (Mi-8, Mi-26, commander - Colonel Vladimir Grigoryan);
487-th separate helicopter regiment from Budennovsk (Mi-8, Mi-24P and Mi-24PN, commander - Colonel Evgeny Fedotov);
In addition, separate airplanes and crews from air units that are not part of 4 VA were involved:
52 Guards TBAP (Tu-22МЗ, airfield "Shaykovka");
929-th GLITS (Akhtubinsk, Su-24МР);
4-th pulp and paper industry. Chkalov (Lipetsk, Su-24M, Su-25CM) and some others.

However, this rather long list of aircraft parts should not be misleading.
Often, from the units indicated here in the combat zone, isolated vehicles were present. The total number of Russian combat and reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters that were directly involved in the conflict did not exceed hundreds of vehicles.

The ground defense of the 58 units of the Russian army that entered the battle against the Georgian forces in South Ossetia consisted of self-propelled anti-aircraft units ZSU-23-4 Shilka, ZRPK 2K22 Tunguska, and portable anti-aircraft missile systems. In addition to MANPADS, the paratroopers were armed with self-propelled anti-aircraft guns BTR-ZD “Skreset” with anti-aircraft guns ZU-23

Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that Russian aircraft during the war in Ossetia surpassed Georgian aircraft in both quantitative and qualitative terms. However, Georgian anti-aircraft weapons, with the support of an advanced electronic detection system, were quite capable of providing very serious opposition to it. Unfortunately, our aviation command underestimated this threat ...

In the morning and afternoon hours of the first day of the war, when a column of armored vehicles of the 58 Army marched along the mountain "serpentine" from the Roki tunnel to the south, in the direction of Dzau, the only one who could assist the defenders of Tskhinval in repelling the Georgian offensive was Russian military aviation. The Su-25 and Su-25СМ from the 368-th Separate Assault Aviation Regiment under the command of Colonel Sergey Kobylash were the first to enter the battle.
Su-25 368-th OSHAP is one of the most militant regiments of the Russian Air Force.

Formed in the 1984 year at the Zhotnevoe airfield, he fought 1986-87 in Afghanistan, then managed to visit the territory of the GDRs as part of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, and from the XXUMX year based in the North Caucasus, in Budyonovsk.

The regiment went through both Chechen wars, in 1995 he survived the attack of terrorists Shamil Basayev, but never in his history did he encounter such strong anti-aircraft resistance and did not carry such heavy one-time losses as in the first two days of the “Ossetian” war - August 8 and 9 2008 of the year.

In one of the first sorties, during an attack on a convoy of Georgian troops south of Tskhinval, an anti-aircraft missile shot down the plane of the squadron deputy commander Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Terebunsky, an experienced pilot, who had 120 sorties in his wars in Chechen wars. The pilot ejected and went to his. 22 August decree of the President of Russia, he was awarded the Order of Courage.

In addition, during the day, attack aircraft Captain Ivan Nechaev and Colonel Oleg Molostvov suffered serious damage, but both pilots managed to return to their airfield and safely land. On the Nechaev's plane, the left engine was completely destroyed, the right one was damaged.

After the plane landed, it turned out that kerosene from a broken fuel hose flows directly onto the runway, and it had to be filled with fire-fighting foam. On the plane of the same Molostvov technology on return counted 88 fragmentation holes.



Despite the losses, the Russian pilots by their actions significantly reduced the offensive activity of the Georgian troops and thereby prevented the enemy from establishing full control over Tskhinval.

Georgians report very little about their losses from the air raids suffered on the first day of the war in the region of the capital of South Ossetia. In the press release of the Georgian Ministry of Defense for 8 August there is information only about the destruction of a truck with ammunition.

While the Rooks and Mi-24 were operating on the outskirts of Tskhinval, the Su-24M bombers attacked targets in the depths of Georgian territory.

Their first priority was to isolate the combat area — preventing the enemy from approaching reinforcements. In carrying out this task, the 8 of August, at noon, attacked the convoy of the 4 Brigade of the Georgian Armed Forces, which was moving along the highway from Gori to Tskhinval. As a result of the bombing, five trucks and several jeeps were destroyed, more than 20 soldiers and officers were killed, including the commander of one of the 4 battalions of the brigade Major Shalva Dolidze. A few dozen people were injured.

On the part of Georgia, this turned out to be the greatest single-step loss of the Georgian army during the entire war. Most of those hit were demoralized and largely lost their combat capability. It is noteworthy that the 4 Brigade was considered the elite of the Georgian army, it was prepared by American instructors and armed with American weapons.

Initially, the Georgians claimed that cluster munitions were used in the attack on the convoy. Then their opinion changed and there were reports that the Russian plane allegedly dropped a volume explosion ammunition - the so-called
"Vacuum bomb". But our military deny the use of both cluster and detonating bombs in the conflict with Georgia, so the question of the type of munitions used remains open.



According to Georgian sources, the first Russian bombardment was marked on 9.45 in the morning - a Russian plane dropped four bombs near the village of Shavshevey.
In 10.57, two bombers attacked the base of the Georgian artillery brigade, located close to the residential area of ​​the city of Gori. Glasses flew out of explosions in nearby houses, in some places the walls were broken by shrapnel.
At 11.45, a Russian reconnaissance aircraft first appeared above the Marneuli airfield, taking photographs.
In 15.00, two bombs were dropped on the Vaziani military base in 25 kilometers from Tbilisi, where the reservists ’assembly point and the American instructors of the Georgian army were located. One of the bombs hit the canteen building. No losses were reported.
16.30 - the first bombing of the Marneuli airbase. Several buildings were destroyed, the runway was damaged, two Georgian military planes of an unnamed type were destroyed. The loss of life was briefly reported: “there are victims.”
The 17.00 is the second Marneuli air strike, which again “caused the victims.”
17.35 - Marneuli airbase was bombarded for the third time. The Georgians acknowledged the destruction of three more military aircraft and several automobiles; among the airfield personnel, one person was killed, four were injured.

It is likely that as a result of this series of attacks, the airbase was permanently out of order, and the majority of Georgian attack aircraft were either destroyed or seriously damaged. In any case, in the further course of the conflict, only one appearance of Mimino over Tskhinval is reliably known. The Albatros Georgians, apparently, did not apply at all because of their low combat effectiveness and high vulnerability from modern air defense systems.

Analysis of the combat use of Russian aviation in the early days of hostilities showed that the planning for the support of combat operations by the operational groups of aviation and air defense in the South Ossetian and Abkhaz sectors was carried out without taking into account the capabilities of Georgia’s air defense systems and the specifics of using their EW aviation equipment to suppress them. Gross mistakes were made in the formulation of combat missions, which could lead to the loss of concealed aircraft, which were avoided only by competent actions of the commander of the EW consolidated squadron.



The actions of Russian aviation were characterized by the following failures:
- the possible location of active air defense systems of Georgia and their detection and destruction zones was not taken into account;
- no terrain was used;
- repeated visits were made to targets (and from the same directions);
- the position of the sun and the objects illuminated by it was not taken into account;
- anti-aircraft and anti-missile maneuvers were not performed;
- flight to the targets and back 8 and 9 August was carried out on the same route;
- the absence of reconnaissance aircraft capable of conducting detailed radio reconnaissance in real time with high accuracy in determining the coordinates of the radar;
- the discrepancy between the frequency ranges of the RGS missiles "air-radar" and the radar air defense missile system of Soviet production, the absence of control equipment and target designation;
- the insufficient number of jammers, their short time in the jamming zone;
- insufficient height of the maximum ceiling of the flight of helicopters - jammers, as a result of which it was impossible to use them in the mountainous terrain of South Ossetia;
- lack of means of group defense protection from battle formations.

The actions of Georgian aviation were rather passive. According to the results of the first day of the war, the Georgians announced that their aircraft had bombed the Russian one at 8 a.m. tank a convoy that left the Roki Tunnel, destroying dozens of armored vehicles, and then destroyed the Guftinsky Bridge, making it impossible for the Russian troops to move from Dzau to Tskhinval. However, both of these messages turned out to be false. And the column did not suffer, and the bridge remained intact.

The passivity of the Georgian "falcons" at a time when they still had the ability to influence the outcome of the conflict is difficult to explain.
Perhaps the Georgian command objectively assessed the level of training of their pilots in order to give them the order to attack small targets in narrow mountain gorges. Or maybe Georgians feared Russian air defense weapons and
fighter-interceptors. Or they simply underestimated the threat posed by the Roki tunnel.

SUCCESSES OF THE GEORGIAN air defense

Unlike the Georgian Air Force, whose actions cannot be called effective at all, the Georgian anti-aircraft gunners in the first period of the war managed to achieve significant success. Particularly distinguished division "beeches", operating in the area of ​​Gori. Already in the morning he managed to shoot down the Russian intelligence officer Su-24MR, who piloted the crew of the 929 GLITS from Akhtubinsk as part of the pilot Colonel Igor Zinov and the navigator Colonel Igor Rzhavitin. The plane crashed on Georgian territory 17 kilometers from Gori. The pilots managed to eject, but Igor Rzhavitin died. Colonel Zinov, having received injuries to the head and spine during the ejection, could not move. Georgian soldiers found him and took him to a Tbilisi hospital.

It is still not clear why the crew, consisting of two colonels of the flight test center, was sent for reconnaissance, all the more so that the command of the 4 Air Army has an 11 Guards reconnaissance air regiment equipped with the same Su-24MR and staffed by experienced pilots . Whatever the case, this loss was one of the most painful for our air force during the conflict.

But even more severe blow was waiting for them at night. Around midnight on August 8, a long-range Tu-22 M3 bomber from the 52 Guards TBAP was shot down over Georgia. Soviet-Russian aircraft did not lose their bombers of this class in a combat situation since the end of the Second World War.

The wreckage of an aircraft hit by a direct hit by an anti-aircraft missile fell near the village of Kareli in the area of ​​the Ossetian-Georgian border, in the territory controlled by Georgian forces at that time. Of the four crew members, only one survived - the co-pilot Major Vyacheslav Malkov, who was captured. The crew commander, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Koventsov, as well as Majors Viktor Pryadkin and Igor Nesterov, were killed.
The most reliable is information that a downed Tu-22М3, specially equipped for aerial photography, brought up a group of 9 bombers. The task of the group included the defeat of Georgian objects.
The reconnaissance Tu-22М3 also had a bomb load. He had to evaluate the results of the bombings and, if necessary, deliver additional strikes. Anti-aircraft defenses in the area were not expected.
Most likely, the Russian bombers came under fire from the Ukrainian complex Buk-M1. The assault Tu-22М3, using standard EW and anti-missile maneuver, could evade missile attacks, and the scout was shot down.

In total, during the combat operations, the Russian Air Force lost three Su-25, two Su-24 and one Tu-22М3. It was also established that after the end of the conflict, a plane crash occurred in South Ossetia - two Mi-8MTKO and Mi-24 helicopters crashed. Perhaps part of the attack aircraft was struck by "friendly fire."

In spite of the losses, the Russian aviation was able to accomplish all the tasks set, but at the same time, an analysis of the actions of the Air Force during this war forces us to seriously consider and draw some unpleasant conclusions. And the main one is that the Air Force is not fully ready to fully engage in combat operations under the conditions of countering modern air defense. In addition, given the weak immunity of their similar air defense systems (first of all, the RTV radar and military electronic defense system installations are not ready to repel modern means of air attack. When countering modern enemy air defense systems, combat losses will be significantly higher.

    As the saying goes, "showered with hats."

    "Most likely, Russian bombers came under fire from the Ukrainian Buk-M1 complex." As I understand it, having flown to the territory of Ukraine ????

      Your sarcasm is not appropriate, if it were not for deliveries of air defense missiles from Ukraine and the combat work of Ukrainian calculations, the Georgians would not be able to oppose anything to our aviation.

        Dear, do not look for excuses for the incompetence of your generals, did you hope for an easy walk invading Georgia ????
        Who cares whose weapon ??? By the way, the Russian side did not provide any evidence of the participation of Ukrainian settlements in this conflict.
        Or do you need a lot of intelligence to destroy air defense and after that send planes there for bombing? Or destroy targets with precision weapons ??
        Having before my eyes more than one example of "rolling air defense" amers, Israelis, and so on. you decided to go head-on and received an appropriate answer.

          What evidence? Yushchenko himself acknowledged the participation of Ukrainian calculations in hostilities.
          The article, the author of which I have the honor to be, in my opinion, contains a rather critical analysis of the planning of actions of our aviation. But, in my opinion, it is not worth "going too far" by indiscriminate criticism of the actions of our pilots.

              The Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s Office has found confirmation of information that Ukrainian citizens a year ago were on the territory of Georgia during the Georgian-Ossetian armed conflict, serving the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems sold to this country.

              According to the Ukrainian newspaper Segodnya, after the fact that Ukrainian servicemen took part in the hostilities during the August war in South Ossetia, the Prosecutor General’s Office conducted its own inspection.

              “In the process of checking, the GPU found a number of gross violations, which had previously been announced by the head of the temporary investigation commission of the Verkhovna Rada, Valery Konovalyuk. Thus, Ukraine not only sold Georgia at a lower price for the Buk-М1 air defense system, but also sent a group of civilian specialists from the city of Balakley of the Kharkiv region who served these complexes, with the help of which the Georgians fired on Russian combat aircraft. Valery Kabanets, Dmitry Pilipchuk, Vladimir Ponomarenko, and other specialists who were on the territory of Georgia from 5 to 13 last August, that is, before, during and after the armed conflict with South Ossetia, they wrote their own explanations about their stay in Georgia. Participation in hostilities they deny, but do not deny that the equipment serviced. However, whether this is true, it can be installed only on-site. But serious obstacles are being made. As well as the work of the entire group, which found that the air defense system, as well as other weapons and military equipment were sold to Georgia at prices in 8 and more times less than the real ones. The check continues, but people are already hinting at dismissal of staff redundancies, ”the publication cites the publication of a high-ranking source in the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.

              Official Kiev earlier denied reports about the participation of Ukrainian soldiers, or specialists in military operations during the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in August 2008.

                        Infa, of course, is "old", but it is difficult to find something more "fresh" in this regard, due to the unwillingness of the Ukrainian side to cooperate in the investigation ...

                        The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (GPU) confirmed that Ukrainian specialists helped the Georgian military during the conflict with South Ossetia in August last year. As the newspaper "Segodnya" writes on Friday, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, the Ukrainians maintained air defense systems, with the help of which Russian combat aircraft were fired. In addition, a number of gross violations have been established, including the fact that Ukraine really sold weapons and military equipment to Georgia at greatly reduced prices.
                        According to the publication, these are the conclusions of the audit that the GPU conducted after similar conclusions made earlier by the interim commission of inquiry of the Verkhovna Rada, headed by Valery Konovalyuk. Now they have found official confirmation, sources said.
                        "For example, Ukraine not only sold the Buk-M1 air defense missile system to Georgia at a reduced price, but also sent a group of civilian specialists from the city of Balakleya, Kharkiv region, who served these complexes, with the help of which Georgians fired at Russian combat aircraft," said an unnamed law enforcement official. organs.
                        According to him, Valery Kabanets, Dmitry Pilipchuk, Vladimir Ponomarenko, other specialists who were in Georgia from 5 to 13 last August, that is, before, during, and after the armed conflict with South Ossetia, wrote their own explanations about their stay there .
                        They deny participation in hostilities, but do not deny that they served the equipment. However, whether this corresponds to reality can only be established with a field trip, and serious obstacles are posed to this, the source noted. Also, according to him, the work of the whole group, which established that the air defense systems, as well as other weapons and military equipment, were sold to Georgia at prices eight or more times less than real, also impedes the work.
                        "The check continues, but people are already hinting at dismissal due to staff reductions," the GPU spokesman said.
                        Official sources are still denying everything.
                        For our part, we recall that on August 24, on Independence Day of Ukraine, the Investigative Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (UPC) of Russia stated that irrefutable evidence was obtained of the participation of Ukrainians in Georgia’s aggression against South Ossetia. Russian investigators reported this earlier, but for the first time gave specific numbers (at least 200 of Ukrainian nationalists) and surnames (Shapoval, Kucherenko, Shevchenko, Matveyuk, Zheltokon).
                        Kiev reacted the next day, refuting this information of the UPC and calling it provocation.

                Only now you did not report that the Prosecutor General’s Office did not institute a single criminal case based on the results of the audit.

                Ukraine sold arms to Georgia quite legally, and there were no sanctions regarding sales of arms to Georgia. The presence of Ukrainian specialists is explained by the terms of the contract, no one refused.

                But the fact that they sat at the controls and pressed the buttons is YOUR imagination.

                With the same success, Russia can be accused of selling weapons to Azerbaijan, from which Armenians were subsequently killed (by the way, brotherly people), do you want to say that your experts were not there?

        Is that really the question, if yes, if only once, the aviation had worked shitty. The mistakes are even more gross than in Egypt in 1970. Actually, these are not even mistakes !!!!! There is little to judge for such planning of aviation actions. Again, the complete inability of the managerial link to modern hostilities manifested itself. For a few days to lose so much aviation and so stupid !!!! A SHAME!!! Where was the intelligence, again an old disease - flying along one route, SIMPLY NO WORDS !!! I fought in Egypt and Syria and already wrote that our aircraft showed themselves to be worthless there, and after that, no matter how I fought with our generals from the aircraft, all for nothing. The main thing is that there should be no accidents. So forgot how to THINK before fighting! Not planning, but baby talk. So did not act already at the end of the Second World War, and this is the XNUMXst century. Brains turned into chaff. Although I live in Ukraine, I was terribly worried about the Russian army. They wanted to throw their hats, as always, but how it turned out ...

      You don’t have to be a cynic, the Georgians very accurately grasped the moment the war started, the Russian Ministry of Defense departed for rest, the operational leadership changed, the old chief resigned, the new one didn’t get on course, and repair and relocation started there at the top, liberals reigned at the very top, they fought together corruption, Then stubbornly imposed the opinion that the main robbers are in the Army, Remember how underfunding, disbandment of parts and equipment and equipment belonged to the army itself, And the means of the free press fought against the army as a whole, With such a press, the youth did not want to go to serve , After the collapse of the UNION, there was not a bit more or less normal training of the troops, Unfortunately, the mess of our reformers was added to this mess, we combine everything like the Air Force or we separate, Another moment not so long ago I looked at the box of the former commander in chief dedicated to this event, I was ashamed watch and listen to him, He did not talk about the soldiers and officers that participated in the war, so he mentioned the main thing for him is how he was experiencing bad feelings, that he made a decision, he cares,

    A bunch of accidents and non-combat losses,
    Complete inability to organize a communication and control system (for guiding aircraft and adjusting art fire, the commanders of mobile units went directly to the pilots and artilleryman),
    They threw aviation into a stupid area with an unpressed air defense system with ordinary bombs, where, by the way, are so highly advertised precision weapons?
    Complete absence of REP and REP

    Yes ... Where did that courage of WW2 and Korea go when ours killed the enemy as they wanted. Practice shows that we are able to build the latest aircraft and systems that ensure their effective use, but for some reason we have not learned to fight on them. This has already been shown by the Arab-Israeli wars. Something did not shine there. That's the same with Georgia. We won, of course we won, but somehow without satisfaction. Stupidly crushed. It should be admitted that our Air Force today is one of the least combat-ready types of the Armed Forces (well, maybe after the fleet). This is apparently facilitated by poor training of pilots and command personnel, the lack of the pilots' skills for a "big war" with an enemy with a modern air defense system. Well, the outdated aircraft fleet also affects. By their number, we are very much behind the United States. As a result, in the war with Georgia, we lost 6 aircraft, against 3 lost tanks (although there were an order of magnitude more tanks!). We need to improve.

    In total, during the combat operations, the Russian Air Force lost three Su-25, two Su-24 and one Tu-22М3. It was also established that after the end of the conflict, a plane crash occurred in South Ossetia - two Mi-8MTKO and Mi-24 helicopters crashed. Perhaps part of the attack aircraft was struck by "friendly fire."

    In spite of the losses, the Russian aviation was able to accomplish all the tasks set, but at the same time, an analysis of the actions of the Air Force during this war forces us to seriously consider and draw some unpleasant conclusions. And the main one is that the Air Force is not fully ready to fully engage in combat operations under the conditions of countering modern air defense. In addition, given the weak immunity of their similar air defense systems (first of all, the RTV radar and military electronic defense system installations are not ready to repel modern means of air attack. When countering modern enemy air defense systems, combat losses will be significantly higher.

    This military conflict showed our inability to interact with the various branches of the armed forces. This topic was so well described in his film by Sladkov when he showed how our soldiers fired on a pilot with a parachute, and then it turned out that he hadn’t shot his own. Knowing about the enemy’s air defense, they didn’t take measures to eliminate it, where is our precision weapon? Over the past years, it seems to me that our hopes, as always, at random! Fortunately, the enemy was not so strong.

Georgians, however, do not lag behind here either. He relied on facts, the reliability of which raises the least doubts, if you can, which I will be glad to add.

      As for high-precision weapons, the satellite photos and the quantitative use chart, which is in the article, show that the share of the WTO in our aviation is steadily decreasing. Soviet stocks are coming to an end, and the new is not made.

            On December 15, 2006, the first 2 Su-34s were transferred to the Russian Air Force. The aircraft with tail number “01” entered the 929th GLITs to continue state tests.
            On August 3, 2007, the board number "02" was adopted as part of the Lipetsk Pulp and Paper Mill and PLC.
            In December 2008, Air Force “03” was handed over to the Air Force.
            On December 19, 2009, another 2 Su-34s were received - tail numbers “04” and “05”.
            On December 20, 2010, 4 more bombers were handed over (the first 4 of 32, under a 2008 contract)
            On December 10, 2011, the western military district adopted 6 Su-34s.
            December 28, 2012 the western military district (Baltimore air base) 5 Su-34. [17]
            January 25, 2013 the western military district (Baltimore air base) 5 Su-34.
            May 6, 2013 received the first aircraft release in 2013 from the planned 14 for this year.
            July 9, 2013 received 3 Su-34.
            At the beginning of 2012, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract with Sukhoi for the supply of 92 Su-34s until 2020, in addition to the already concluded contract for 32 aircraft. In 2013, the delivery of 14 Su-34s is expected. For the first time, the Su-34 was used during the war in South Ossetia (2 Su-34s). The plane was used to cover the actions of strike aircraft, conducting electronic warfare with Georgian air defense systems. To suppress the RES, the Su-34 interfered with the battle formations, which did not allow the Georgian air defense system to successfully detun from the interference. On the most dangerous radar systems of the Buk and S-125 air defense systems, the Su-34 attacked with anti-radar missiles [25] [26] The Su-34 group defense active jamming container showed high efficiency during combat operations [25]. During combat use, the Su-34 destroyed the key Georgian 36D6-M radar near the village of Shavshvebi near Gori [.

                      In Ca, all the same, they counted on massive air raids !!
                      I think the Oise were used as a means of delivery to a certain hard-to-reach paradise, and it was not massively!
                      and here I can’t imagine why in Georgia calculations ATVs ??

                        U of course, not ATV-based MANPADS.

                        If there are mountains, then there is a limited number of routes along which helicopters and aircraft will go to the area of ​​combat use. So that they are not "burned" ahead of time.
                        If there is a route, then it should be blocked by the calculation of MANPADS, while providing him with protection, because the enemy should ironly clear these routes.
                        And a bunch of cross-country vehicle + ATV can best deliver all this economy to the place.

                You are absolutely wrong if not to say not literate! The experience of military operations in Egypt and in Syria of our 18th anti-aircraft missile system showed the high efficiency of MANPADS, although they also didn’t have a lot of them. And quickly maneuvering with these calculations is also very important, they did it on the GAZ-69 (ATVs were not in use at that time), but in fact the main task of these calculations was to force the Israeli aviation to rise as high as possible in order to detect it as far as possible from our S-125 air defense systems.

    Let me introduce my 5 kopecks into the general discussion.
    As can be seen from the article, the war in Georgia highlighted 3 problems of Russian aviation:
    1. Outdated technology.
    2. Akhovy planning and coordination of actions between various divisions.
    3. Poor preparedness of pilots.

    And immediately caustic remarks appeared here, but for some reason no one says that they saw the problems and solve them.

    1. The renewal of the fleet of aircraft and helicopters took up seriously.
    2. Even this resource is replete with reports of ongoing exercises. Moreover, as large-scale with the involvement of different branches of the army, up to the FSO. I’m not talking about local exercises. And these exercises should improve the quality of commanding personnel in terms of planning skills and coordinate the actions of various arms and services.
    3. Let me remind you that in those days, the raid of Russian pilots in military aviation was deplorably small. Something there in the region of 40-50 hours per year. Now over 100 hours are already flying. And here you begin to compare with the Israeli army, which in addition to flying hours in 180 has real experience in the use of aircraft in combat conditions.

    IMHO. And just after that conflict, the authorities still looked at the army differently. It dawned on their highbrow heads that "partnership" is one thing, and when there is a modern and combat-ready army behind you, beautiful and smiling, then contracts are signed more dexterously and conditions are sweeter. Here the dust was blown off the army. Not everyone really understood this yet, but nothing - this understanding will come.

    And before business in aviation. You know, Pokryshkin is my idol in this business. who read his "Sky of War" he will understand. This guy was not a gift, both in relation to the Germans and to his own. The book describes in detail how they prepared themselves, how they trained the youth. Tactical exercises were conducted, firing, what formation is better to fly, at what height, how to approach the target. After each fight, practically debriefing, etc. etc. This is how the Aesir are born and nothing else. In Korea, this backlog worked. If my memory serves me, then in Korea the veteran of the Great Patriotic War Kozhedub also shot down amers. And this was the same master. I would say he owned his plane. as not every violinist has his own violin. He and Pokryshkin, one might say, performed symphonies in the sky, although they did not fight together in the same unit, but the German aces knew their names well. There was a moment in the book that Pokryshkin was forbidden to use his callsign at one time, otherwise do the Germans understand in advance "Akhtung!" they started screaming.

    "The Georgian know-how was to equip MANPADS crews with off-road ATVs, which significantly increased their mobility and made it possible to quickly change firing positions." very interesting by the way.

    "The ground air defense of units of the 58th Russian army, which entered into battle with Georgian troops on the territory of South Ossetia, consisted of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns ZSU-23-4 Shilka, ZRPK 2K22 Tunguska, and portable anti-aircraft missile systems. paratroopers, in addition to MANPADS, there were self-propelled anti-aircraft guns BTR-ZD "Grinding" with anti-aircraft guns ZU-23 "that is, almost nothing.

    No conclusions were made. The reform of the Air Force of Serdyukov-Medvedev-Putin finished off morale and combat capabilities by finally transferring it to a crowded base, lack of infrastructure, apartments, laid bare whole regions without air cover. Now, after exercises in the east, they will rebuild airfields. I'd like to ask why you broke everything when the professionals shouted, it’s impossible. There is no announced concept of the development of the country and the armed forces, ill-conceived decisions, some kind of leadershipism and no one to answer. The personnel policy in the leadership of the Armed Forces of the country is carried out on the principle of loyalty, whoever objects .... Sadly.

    In general, something happened that was not part of the plans of the Georgian leadership, which for some reason hoped that Russia would not seriously fight for the Ossetians, limiting itself to diplomatic protests, economic sanctions and, possibly, “symbolic” actions of aviation.

    That’s exactly what President Medvedev wanted to do, everything was ready to drain, but the GDP had a different opinion, and there was a commotion; intelligence overslept the supply of the latest air defense systems from Ukraine, complete confusion with the strength and strength of troops
    A long list of aircraft parts should not be misleading. Often from the composition of the units indicated here in the combat zone there were single vehicles.
    The passage of the main strike group through the Roki tunnel was a pure gamble - undermining it would put an end to a quick resolution of the conflict. A lot of questions are caused by the planning of operations and the children's mistakes made in this case, the Googleography of the bombing of the Scamredia airfield across the GDP and a bunch of gaps "past the cash desk" confirm this. The abundance of lieutenant colonels and majors on the sides of the downed equipment causes bewilderment, there is no one else to fly?
    In general, for me the conflict of 08.08.08/XNUMX/XNUMX is more like some kind of theater of the absurd, rather than a planned reflection of aggression. True, the passivity of the then president suggests unpleasant thoughts. what
    But as they say, whoever comes to us with a sword will come back with a handle in his ass.

      According to him, Putin did not bother insulting the head of Georgia.
      “When the situation was tense, I called President Dmitry Medvedev, but Putin took the phone and told me to deal with him. Then I told him that the EU, OSCE and the United States were sharply criticizing Russia for escalating tensions in the separatist regions of Georgia, and he said ironically that there are a lot of papers with statements and asked to shove these papers in one place, and said so directly, I was certainly taken aback, "the President of Georgia said frankly.)))))))))

    When they say that Georgia was at war with Russia, it is tantamount to say that Serbia was at war with purely Kosovo. Russia was actually at war with NATO, its instructors taught the Georgians and used its equipment. Let's not forget about the NATO electronic systems that were stationed in Turkey and the NATO naval ships in the Black Sea ... they clearly observed "neutrality", well, they did not help the poor and frightened Georgians. And the US space group, out of pure curiosity, examined the region through all that was possible ... and so the same observed "neutrality" in coordination of the Georgian troops ... after all, the Georgians have a "powerful space group" ... which will provide intelligence and communications on my own ... purely without outside help.

      Russia actually fought with NATO, its instructors were taught by Georgians and its equipment was used

      instructors and equipment do not yet say that Russia fought with NATO. to cooperate with NATO is one thing, but to be a member of NATO is completely different. The low combat efficiency of the Georgian army is not due to the fact that NATO was weak or Georgians ignorant. The defeat of Georgia is that the leadership She didn’t assess the real state of affairs and overestimated the capabilities of the state. It is clear that in 2-3 years the time is too short to create a real combat-ready army. This requires years and enormous resources. This is the reason for the defeat of Georgia as a whole.

They put 20 pieces there. Those who put the pluses did not even check the information that the ships Yesterday they moored at the Baku port, and the GDP arrived today.

    Analysis of the combat use of Russian aviation in the early days of hostilities showed that the planning for the support of combat operations by the operational groups of aviation and air defense in the South Ossetian and Abkhaz sectors was carried out without taking into account the capabilities of Georgia’s air defense systems and the specifics of using their EW aviation equipment to suppress them. Gross mistakes were made in the formulation of combat missions, which could lead to the loss of concealed aircraft, which were avoided only by competent actions of the commander of the EW consolidated squadron.
    And not only Aviation and Air Defense. First of all, Intelligence burst. And GRU and SVR.
    And again the stupidity of the "parquet" generals.

    Why, for reconnaissance of the location of their former bases, send a carcass?
    Again "a surprise attack by the German fascist troops"? Even in 1941 it was not sudden for the country's leadership, and directives were sent both to evacuate the families of servicemen and to bring them to the BG.

    The Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s Office has found confirmation of information that Ukrainian citizens a year ago were on the territory of Georgia during the Georgian-Ossetian armed conflict, serving the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems sold to this country.

    According to the Ukrainian newspaper Segodnya, after the fact that Ukrainian servicemen took part in the hostilities during the August war in South Ossetia, the Prosecutor General’s Office conducted its own inspection.

    “In the process of checking, the GPU found a number of gross violations, which had previously been announced by the head of the temporary investigation commission of the Verkhovna Rada, Valery Konovalyuk. Thus, Ukraine not only sold Georgia at a lower price for the Buk-М1 air defense system, but also sent a group of civilian specialists from the city of Balakley of the Kharkiv region who served these complexes, with the help of which the Georgians fired on Russian combat aircraft. Valery Kabanets, Dmitry Pilipchuk, Vladimir Ponomarenko, and other specialists who were on the territory of Georgia from 5 to 13 last August, that is, before, during and after the armed conflict with South Ossetia, they wrote their own explanations about their stay in Georgia. Participation in hostilities they deny, but do not deny that the equipment serviced. However, whether this is true, it can be installed only on-site. But serious obstacles are being made. As well as the work of the entire group, which found that the air defense system, as well as other weapons and military equipment were sold to Georgia at prices in 8 and more times less than the real ones. The check continues, but people are already hinting at dismissal of staff redundancies, ”the publication cites the publication of a high-ranking source in the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.

    Official Kiev earlier denied reports about the participation of Ukrainian soldiers, or specialists in military operations during the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in August 2008.

    let's think logically. Anti-aircraft systems and a radar were delivered by Ukraine to Georgia. Nobody denies this. Georgia had no personnel for maintenance and combat use. Who do you think worked on Russian planes? The more so, Ukrainians were often spotted on the territory of Chechnya in two wars. I will note mainly Western Ukrainians. I have a couple of friends from Galicia. What can I say, pathological hatred for everything Russian. Poles are probably worse than Russians for them.

              Do you want to say your Buk crews are entirely made up of officers?

              If you don’t know then in the world there are two so-called training schools - Soviet and American,
              the difference is that in Soviet universities they taught not only a military specialty, but also taught a general course that sometimes had as many hours as training in a specialty (if you graduated from a military institute, you should remember that they taught mathematics, physics, termesh, sociology, philosophy and other disciplines that you absolutely did not come in handy)
              but the amers threw away all unnecessary and only teach the future specialty, which is why the officer training course in Russia takes 5 years and in America 2-3 years (depending on specialization)
              so if you are not distracted by all kinds of nonsense such as theory, charters, peeling potatoes, then if you have the equipment, qualified teachers it’s quite possible to prepare crews for Bukov, by the way in connection with

              "The actions of Russian aviation were characterized by the following failures:
              - the possible location of active air defense systems of Georgia and their detection and destruction zones was not taken into account;
              - no terrain was used;
              - repeated visits were made to targets (and from the same directions);
              - the position of the sun and the objects illuminated by it was not taken into account;
              - anti-aircraft and anti-missile maneuvers were not performed;
              - flight to the targets and back 8 and 9 August was carried out on the same route;
              - the absence of reconnaissance aircraft capable of conducting detailed radio reconnaissance in real time with high accuracy in determining the coordinates of the radar;
              - the discrepancy between the frequency ranges of the RGS missiles "air-radar" and the radar air defense missile system of Soviet production, the absence of control equipment and target designation;
              - the insufficient number of jammers, their short time in the jamming zone;
              - insufficient height of the maximum ceiling of the flight of helicopters - jammers, as a result of which it was impossible to use them in the mountainous terrain of South Ossetia;

        I translated here so that others understand:
        In modern conditions, the pace and scale of reproduction of its own mineral resource base do not satisfy the needs of the state. Due to lack of funds, the volume of exploration work decreased by 3-4 times. Therefore, since 1994, the increase in proven reserves of most important minerals does not compensate for their production. The consequences of the unweighted policies of the past are already negatively affecting the efficiency of the economy. Analysis of the state of affairs and forecast estimates indicate that in the near future the situation may become even more complicated. The lack of certain types of own raw materials will progress if decisive measures are not taken now.

          These are mercenaries who can go for ideological reasons as well. There are such people and no one denies this. And about Judah - loudly said. That's just the difference. He rides or is seconded. In Libya, too, the West shouted about Ukrainian pilots.

            for me they are all Judas. these are the people who crossed to the opposite side and shot at their former colleagues and fellow tribesmen. something after 91, everyone began to hide behind ideological reasons. But what was it before 91 years old, everything was OK? They didn’t see anything, were members of the CPSU and then they began to see clearly, saw tyranny? Yes, and what kind of ideology? DOLLARS ...

                Dear, if you had me in mind, then I am glad to inform you that I did not leave Ukraine and my taxes would definitely not help you. Unfortunately, I have never lived in Russia either, and as a German emigrated from Kazakhstan to Germany. BUT! my cultural homeland is Russia, my mother tongue is Russian. Although my children were born in Germany, they perfectly speak RUSSIAN (which I cannot say about some representatives of one independent state) and read Russian literature as well, which I am undoubtedly happy about. And in general, your post is written in the style of "the Fool himself", you tried to hit from the sly, and this is at least ugly, but this is on your advice.

The appeal was not directed at the beginning personally to you, but when you began to cover with the words of "fellow tribesmen", it somehow became insulting. Even if you are German by nationality, you should have had one homeland. I, too, am not Ukrainian by nationality. She was gone in 91 and you left for your historical homeland. Why should I, or those who are accused here, identify modern Russia with the USSR?

                      This is not even a question, but information for consideration.
                      If he went as a mercenary - not a career officer, but a retiree, this is his personal decision. It is not necessary to refer to "brotherly feelings" here and to call them Judas is probably also not correct. Life has shown long ago that this is only, unfortunately, an invention of propagandists.
                      And information can be appealed in many ways. Take the last example. Why Russia does not betray the fisherman who survived after ramming their longboat? The information that gets into the media is shocking, but so far there is no official statement, there is nothing to draw conclusions.,

      from "friendly fire" no one is insured anywhere, but the conversation is not about MANPADS, but about BUKS. They hit TU22M3 and SU-24R. And the fact that everything was chaotic and thoughtless is true. Although everyone had been waiting for war for a long time, people began to evacuate from Tskhinval at the beginning of August. They knew for sure about the concentration of Georgian troops at the border. So why again, like in June 41, without intelligence, without communication on patriotism alone? Why is Israel xe.ra. cheating on Syria without entering the air defense zone? and Usirii it is clearly more abruptly than that of the Georgians. Where were OTR Tochka, Iskander?

              a tricky question for many who have a heart full of anger, I think so, and I'm not talking about Azerbaijanis or Muslims, but about people in general. I recall a number of stories from the Second World War, when the Germans were struck by the personal heroism of our pilot (either tanarn, or diving in a crashed plane at a station or depot) and they rendered him all military honors if he died, right up to a farewell salvo from a German air-raid weapon at the grave, or special attitude in the hospital. And after all, there was also a war, and more bloody and merciless than this. But here respect and honor the military prowess and heroism of them, the Germans, and even if it is an enemy, we can and should learn, even now.

        When the film-investigation of Arkady Mamontov about a top-secret operation was broadcast, they denied espionage history not only in London. In Russia, including among his fellow journalists, there were many, to put it mildly, skeptics. The failure of the British intelligence services was called both staging and propaganda.

    I'm not a joke. When I'm wrong, I admit I'm wrong. I consider him a frivolous journalist who cites a lot of “false facts.” In Russia, many journalists who are not fed by the authorities also think the same. And there are a lot of facts of false evidence from interviews he conducted. Well, God will be his judge. Everyone has their own vision.

    Well, what happened. Those employees continued to work the same way, because no one had formally charged them.

    This is not an argument. The position of our leadership in this regard has long been voiced by Putin. It roughly goes like this: “We will not expel any identified foreign spies, since it is better for our intelligence services to work with exposed agents than to later identify new ones.” Something like this.

    And about the fakeness. If my memory serves me right, the British recognized the fact of the “spy” stones.
