Aircraft of the naval aviation of the Northern Fleet conducted patrols in the arctic latitudes of the Arctic Ocean

Two long-range anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142 marine airbase aviation (MA) North fleet (SF), raised from a military airfield in the Vologda Oblast, patrolled in the Arctic latitudes of the Arctic Ocean.

The flight route lasting more than 12 hours passed over the water area of ​​the Northern Sea Route.

During the flight, the crews of the Tu-142 improved their skills in passing a given course over an unoriented terrain in the absence of ground-based radio navigation aids, conducted ice field exploration, data on which greatly facilitates the construction of routes and navigation of civilian ships in the Arctic regions of the Arctic Ocean.

The flight assignments in the Arctic latitudes were preceded by careful navigational training of flight crews, taking into account the difficult meteorological situation and the special geographical position of the flight route.

Flights in the Arctic are complicated by the proximity of the magnetic pole, which impairs radio communications and limits the use of airborne radio equipment, "compressed" time zones and a uniform landscape, which excludes visual orientation.

Crews of long-range anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142 during such flights increase the level of training, as well as work out various issues on the flying crew and elements of flight training.

Such flights to the Arctic regions of the Arctic Ocean, naval aviation pilots of the Federation Council on a regular basis since January 2013.

Poor Scandinavians. So the liquid Vikings didn’t look like anyway.

[Retx]

Hmm, why should they have problems with a chair? Antisubmarine Bear affected? They honestly do not care about him.

[Tatarus]

Hi viking. Already two vikings

[afire]

Thank God that this is happening at all, of course, it would be necessary to set up tracking stations along the entire route, and aerobatics and orientation

[sub307]

Well, yes, but that seems to be until the "last days" in general on combat patrols did not fly on a regular basis.

[tukzar]

Just another reason for their politicians to raise a squeal !! True, this screech has long passed into a hoarse hoarse sound ....

[alone]

Well what can I say! successful take-off and successful landing))

Good wish! I would like such training flights to really become permanent and mundane. And readiness for combat sorties was at its best, as was the training of crews and all flight support services.

[gispanec]

who knows ?? ... in our anti-submarine aviation shifts are taking place on new machines ?? ... in the sense of developing new ones or modifying old ones ??

[Wedmak]

In general, a huge gap is gaping in naval aviation ... And there is nothing to talk about anti-submarine.

[Retx]

Do they plan / promise to solve this issue at least somehow? Or, as always, over the problem?

[Wedmak]

Something solutions did not light up anywhere.
The turntables are old, the Be-12 is being removed from service, the Il-38 also does not shine with novim, the Tu-142 is of course long-lived, but it also becomes obsolete.
A-40 is covered in dust, A-42 is even worse, it is unassembled. Formally, there are already no marine Tu-22М3, there are land ones. But they also shine a replacement for the Su-34 (possibly a modification of the Su-34).
There is some positive news though: Su-33 on Kuz are close to developing a resource - replace them with new MiG-29K. The replacement is not adequate, but there are no others. Ah, yes ... Ka-52K for the Mistrals is being tested.

For me, this could be done on the basis of the Su-34 medium patrol reconnaissance aircraft. Ka-62 urgently finish, arm - the near patrol and reconnaissance. Anti-submarine based on PAK YES ... well, a distant and ghostly future.

Since when did the Tu-142 begin to fly on the AI-20? Was there no other photo?

Yes, indeed, the photo shows the left plane of the Il-Xnumx. Miss, however!
Quote from the article: "Pilots of the Northern Fleet have been making such flights to the Arctic regions of the Arctic Ocean on an ongoing basis since January 2013." Let me explain: this probably means the modern history of the "new" Russia. In the USSR, such flights were regular. How special. in the field of VR (aerial reconnaissance), I will name the figures: in the mid-80s, naval aviation aircraft only for conducting VR (not counting other important tasks) made up to 1500 (fifteen hundred) aircraft sorties annually! And now about 10 sorties a year are called "permanent base" ... As they say, feel the difference.

[DPN]

In the 80s, the UNION had everything except normal leaders, and now its head is less or less, so the currency for enriching individuals is the difference.

[sub307]

Photo in general "old" inserted, flashed already. Well, not the Tu-142, of course.

[AleksUkr]

FLY, FLY AND WILL FLY! CLAIM, BLANDED FRIENDS!

[zzaharr]

Is it he "Kuzyu" chtoli scares? So he is not one of the shy

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Duty on an ongoing basis .. It's high time already!

[Dwarfik]

Kind! We flew, looked, felt the ice where it is thinner! mission accomplished! What about the Scandinavians? And what about the Scandinavians? They do not climb into Syria! They usually live, they fish, they get gas! Everything is fine! Let them catch and our bears will fly!

We are waiting for the cries of horror and indignation from our neighbors.

here, somehow, information ran through (in one of the mosaics, sort of like) that these active western Greenpeace spies travel around our waters without demand, and just to the Northern Sea Route. here they need to be trained - some sort of bomb from shit on their vessel ... oh, what a nonsense would be

[KBPC50]

Entih green pisyuny send to X .., And they are not a hawk go to the US.

[denson06]

That's right, it's time to fly and swim there .. we won’t fly and swim - there will be others ... are already tearing all over China and the USA ..

[Oberst_71]

But is it generally this anti-submarine defense? In the years of the USSR it was echeloned. coastal mi-14, a little further away be-12 farther in the ocean il-38 and tu-142. and now the remnants of IL-38 and Tu-142 are flying.

[an_ursus]

Well, fine!

[Dober]

I had such a model in childhood. Bonded from plastic.
Thin, graceful bird ...

A beautiful bird ... with a unique stump ...

It is time to limit the penetration of all the goats into the territory of Russia. Shoot down and drown everyone who violated the borders of MY country.

These stations, at one time, were more than polar bears. And on all the islands along the Northern Route stood, thank God restore, border outposts. When the carcasses flew - all - the time of construction for combat crew. Everything was like a clock. They will fly over again - let them swing their wings, the border guards from the ground meet them like a motherland.

[kartalovkolya]

It is necessary to patrol over the entire zone of the Arctic (our Russian), otherwise they will open our mouths! Native American national hut -Figwam (as the Ball used to say)!

True, but nevertheless, it is better than technology to live its life on earth.

Learn guys better and more !!
Successful take-offs and landings!
This is very pleasing.

[rudolff]

Nonsense. Anti-submarine defense in a unified system of measures to control the water area using aviation means should be carried out on an ongoing basis, and not from case to case. It should be an everyday routine, and not as a kind of achievement with previous long preparation. If it weren’t for the death of Kursk, the people would never have known that even in our sea areas of combat training, American, English boats were partying.

[Ivanovich47]

The Arctic basin is a huge storage of minerals. Therefore, maintaining navigation in this area is a critical task. Unfortunately, long-range navigation systems in the Arctic region have been partially destroyed, so it remains to rely on GLONASS and autonomous navigation aids. The Northern Sea Route is the most important sea route from Europe to the countries of the Pacific basin. So the activation of military pilots along this path is fully justified.

[gunnerminer]

Pictured is the IL-38 plane. These vehicles are not based in the Vologda Oblast (Kipelovo airfield).

[voliador]

That's right. Tu-142 has dual screws. The press service of the Western Military District minus points for getting along.

[Col.]

Quote: voliador

That's right. Tu-142 dual screws

The screws are not "double", but coaxial! The NK-12 engine, the most powerful of the turboprop, allowed Tu-95 aircraft to reach speeds of up to 900 km / h! The Tu-142 had it lower.

[voliador]

Only a few of them are left - only 15, and the service life is already coming out. Then how?
