Why did the Defense Ministry choose the New Siberian Islands?

101
The Russian Ministry of Defense is embarking on a large-scale project that Deputy Minister Arkady Bakhin described as “returning to the Arctic”.
"We came there or, more precisely, returned forever, because it is the original Russian land."


Last week, Sergei Shoigu identified Arkady Bakhin as a ministerial officer who will be directly responsible for the work on the Arctic. At the first stage, the deputy minister is charged with monitoring the work that the military personnel will carry out on the Novosibirsk islands located at the junction of the Arctic seas: the Laptev and East Siberian seas. The main goal of the military department at the first stage is to build the runway of the Temp airfield, created on the islands during Soviet times, but then not operated for a long time, from which it became completely inoperative for receiving aircraft. The strip will be built with an initial aim at taking off and landing of such aircraft as An-72 and An-74, which, according to representatives of the main military department, will be able to arrive on the Novosibirsk islands at the end of October of this year. Future plans include the expansion and lengthening of the runway of the Temp airfield in order to obtain the possibility of receiving heavy cargo aircraft.

Recall that the active development of the Novosibirsk Archipelago, which, for comparison, more than three times exceeds such a state as, for example, Qatar, began in the 70-ies of the last century. Then the Ministry of Geology of the Soviet Union defined the task of large-scale geological and geophysical research of the islands. To solve this problem, the so-called East Siberian Complex Party was created, with Vladimir Ivanov appointed as its head. The work was carried out with the participation of an experienced geophysicist Alexei Piskarev. The works were aimed at conducting seismic geological exploration. The expedition camp was located in close proximity to the location of the strip of the airfield "Temp", which at that time was designed to serve only such aircraft as the An-2 - Arctic workhorse, as the plane itself was called by the participants of the expedition.

Why did the Defense Ministry choose the New Siberian Islands?

Participants of the seismological expedition to the Novosibirsk Islands (1972 year)


By the 1973, the Novosibirsk Islands were able to deploy several seismic laboratories, which, according to the official version, made it possible to track natural earthquakes in the region of an impressive area. And according to the unofficial, as they say, we guess that with the help of the equipment installed on the New Siberian Islands, it was possible to track not only earthquakes caused by mother nature ...


Seismological station "Temp" (1973 year)


Apparently, the strategic importance of the Novosibirsk Islands was comprehended in modern times. That is why the Defense Minister Shoigu and ordered the beginning of the restoration of the airfield with the further large-scale development of the archipelago.

At the end of last week, ships of the North approached the islands fleet RF, headed by the Peter the Great RK. The ships left the base in Severomorsk on September 3 and were brought to the islands by a group of four nuclear-powered icebreakers (50 Years of Victory, Vaigach, Taimyr and Yamal) due to the difficult ice situation on several sections of the route. Icebreakers were used over complex sections of the route with a length of about 400 nautical miles. The total length of the route was more than 2 thousand nautical miles.


Caravan of ships of Rosatom and Russian Navy


During the movement of the ships a large-scale aviation work with the help of helicopter equipment (Ka-27), which carried out aerial reconnaissance along the route, and also worked out options for landing on nuclear icebreakers. A set of exercises was conducted to test the actions of ship crews with crews of anti-submarine aircraft, as well as training exercises to assist ships in distress in Arctic waters.

The naval grouping (ten support ships and warships) and took the places of anchorage in the water area of ​​the Stakhanovtsev Bay, located on the western tip of the Kotelny Island of the Novosibirsk Archipelago. According to the press service of the Northern Fleet, a group for reconnaissance was landed on the island with the help of a Ka-27 helicopter and special swimming facilities. After the work was done by the reconnaissance team, a decision was made to make a landing on the coast of the Boiler Island with the Kondopoga BDK and the Olenegorsky Miner.

To start the construction work, the corresponding equipment and materials were delivered to the New Siberian Islands. The team was assigned the task to quickly conduct a cartographic analysis and begin work on the construction of the runway of the Temp airfield. Concerning the need to conduct well-coordinated and efficient work, Defense Minister Shoigu spoke out quite unequivocally:
"I really do not want anyone to have to perform feats because of someone's laxity."


Apparently, the minister had in mind, among other things, past experience in starting certain work on the New Siberian Islands, which was frankly unsuccessful. Recall that in September 2012 of the year while landing on the island of Boiler House, the Ka-27 helicopter crashed. Fortunately, in that accident, none of the crew members and the landing party, who was in the helicopter, was injured. The expert group found that the helicopter crash occurred due to jamming of the gearbox. It is reported that the pilots, as they saw them, were driving a car to solid ground, instead of which it turned out to be a swamp. That accident crumpled up the exercises, leaving a clearly negative residue.

This time, no abnormal situations were recorded, and this gives us hope that the work on the Novosibirsk islands will not only be started exactly on time, but also completed on time.

So, why the Defense Ministry may need exactly the Novosibirsk Islands? As already mentioned, at one time seismic monitoring groups operated on the islands. It is obvious that the Soviet experience in establishing earthquake epicenters, which could well have arisen after nuclear tests conducted by other states, is difficult to overestimate in the current situation. The materials remaining from the work of the East-Siberian integrated party of Vladimir Ivanov will allow you to quickly set up work, let's say, in a modern way. In addition, the New Siberian Islands are a strategic archipelago of the Arctic Ocean, on which a polar station operated from 1933. The station conducted systematic research in the field of meteorology, hydrology, geology, geomagnetism. The achievements of Soviet scientists can be invaluable for those groups that are going to work on the Novosibirsk islands today. The unique bay of Stakhanovtsev, which today is used by the ships of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation to select the anchorage sites on the islands, has a unique location. With quality work, the bay can become an important element of the infrastructure of the Novosibirsk Archipelago.


Gulf of Stakhanovtsy (70's)


I would like the work on the New Siberian Islands to be carried out in such a way that it does not destroy the truly unique ecosystem of the Arctic lands. Today, the archipelago, which is part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), is part of the protected zone of the Ust-Lensky reserve.

        What a bloodthirsty you are! You were clearly told that we are not 37 years old. And Mr. Taburetkin enters into the unsinkable cohort.
        Although the Titanic was also said to be unsinkable. I wonder if Serdyukov will share the fate of the famous liner?

        Vladimir Putin does not make public scandals in his immediate environment-it is already pulling ....

        In the Serdyukov case, Putin understood perfectly well that what he hears about Taburetkin is talking about HIM! He himself does not hide who brought Serdyukov to power and who "closed" his eyes to all of his art for five years. Let Putin lose power, he will hear curses that are 100 times stronger than those of Serdyukov.

        The Arctic is not only future resources and military facilities, it is also the Northern Sea Route, most of which passes through the territorial waters of the Russian Federation, and it is more profitable for countries of East and Asia to transport their goods across Europe to the north, accompanied by Russian icebreakers (and this also includes revenues to the Russian budget ) than through the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea (this is three weeks more time, and the path is not the safest). It will also be more convenient for Europeans to transport goods to Asia via the Northern Sea Route. So, from an economic point of view, the arrangement and establishment of transit cargo through the North Sea route is a big PLUS for the Russian economy.
        Some statistics, the number of goods transported along the North Sea route:
        for 2012: 5-6 ships
        for 2013: 240 this is only at the moment

          But won't it be faster through the transsib? After all, this is the shortest way: along the main passenger passage (from Moscow to Vladivostok) - 9.288,2 km. And our Russian Railways monopolist will stop complaining about the upcoming tariff freeze.

            I think the answer is obvious ... more than one train will not be able to transport such a quantity of cargo (bulky cargo) as a cargo tanker. Agree ....
            It’s more profitable to send one tanker along the North Sea route than 30 train trains via the trans-Siberian railway, more profitable both in money and in time ....

                That's right. In addition, container transportation is unlikely due to the formation of condensation in containers, for example, with equipment, furniture. Also with bulk goods that absorb moisture well. It is possible to transport metal structures, LPG, LNG. This amounts to a small amount of cargo transportation.

        Around the beginning of June, as soon as the Bering Strait is cleared of ice, sailing at a distance of 100 / 150 miles from the coast in the summer does not require any icebreaking assistance, to the Taimyr Peninsula for sure! If I hadn’t gone there many times myself, I would have spoken. Navigation is complicated by ice conditions only in the second half of September, but by no means critically. Those. there is a minimum of 4 months when you can dissect there on the NK without any icebreakers or even ice special class ships. + another 2 month of immature ice, which does not require powerful ALA with nuclear power plants.

I personally observed their flights towards Alaska to intercept ... well, as for the ban on navigation ..... hmm I doubt that there was a Soviet secret base of the Navy .... maybe everything is more prosaic ...... to us along the Lena constantly (through open) water rafts (a tree for construction) went in a continuous stream .... a lot was destroyed and turned into firewood .... in Bykovsky there was also a sawmill ....

            strange, I don’t remember this before ... But I was there a long time ago, in my youth, more than 15 years ago, in September, ice did not appear yet, especially at the beginning of the month. By October, yes, the field begins to fall in the north, it breaks off the ice and starts to drive them in clear water, which is even more dangerous and worse. Apparently everything is changing a lot, Sergey, here in Novosibirsk, it’s been so cold for a week now, during the day + 5 / 7С, although September is usually quite warm. These mountain weather forecasters promise snow by the end of the month. I don’t remember something like that either. The climate is changing, you, as an aviator, should be well aware of this.

          Since April 16, 2013, by order of the Commander of Long-Range Aviation, Lieutenant General Anatoly Zhikharev, the Tiksi Polar Airport has been opened for receiving state-owned aircraft. soldier

          In accordance with the earlier decision of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergei Shoigu, an air commandant's office was formed at the Tiksi airfield, which is currently fully equipped with specialists and equipment to support flights of state aviation aircraft equipped with appropriate equipment compatible with ground landing equipment of the Russian Ministry of Defense. soldier


          Tiksi Class 1 airfield is capable of receiving most types of aircraft (with a maximum take-off weight of up to 260 tons).
          The length of the runway is 3000 m, the width is 60 meters, the reinforced concrete coating is 24-44 cm thick, reinforced with armoires with 30x30 cm cells.
          The dimensions of monolithic reinforced concrete slabs of the main coating are 7x7 meters. Artificial runway built in 1958.
          In 1964 additional taxiways were built, and in 1975 expansion was carried out.
          In 1986-1995, the reconstruction of the airfield was carried out, which was significantly delayed as a result of underfunding.

        In accordance with Chinese long-term forecasts, by 2020, from 5 to 15% of Chinese foreign trade freight traffic will go along the Northern Sea Route (while 10% of Chinese foreign trade turnover will correspond to 526 billion euros). This means that in seven years, China plans to ship almost every sixth ton of export cargo along the Northern Sea Route — moreover, Chinese and not Russian icebreakers will provide navigation.
        Meanwhile, statistics show that the popularity of the Northern Sea Route is growing. In 2012, 46 vessels passed through it - against 34 in 2011 and only four in 2010. According to Rosmorrechflot, about 2012 million tons of cargo were transported on the Northern Sea Route in 4, including 1,2 million tons of transit cargo, which is 53% more than in 2011 (820,8 thousand tons). In 2013, an increase in transit traffic of 5-6% is expected. http://www.newsru.com/finance/19mar2013/sevmor.html

You never mind, maybe fuel oil is drained for the purpose of ecocide ... laughing It's just that the media somehow began to convince that right after a year or two, the North Pole will melt ...
            In fact, if Russia can organize a commercial system for posting along the Northern Sea Route, then this is good. This is not the easiest way, and the coast is all Russian. It turns out a kind of Suez, although not a channel.

              You probably don’t know that after the collapse of the USSR, further state officials of Russia abandoned the concept that in the Arctic we have exclusive rights to the sea zone and recognized the actions of international maritime law in this territory. And under the USSR, the state border ran meridian to the north from Beregovo Prospect and from the state border with Norway on the Kola Peninsula. Now these are international waters and anyone can walk there, except for a 12 mile zone along the coast, which again is not a serious problem for civilian NK (military only). Therefore, the Chinese people will be able to use ALK there themselves, if they have enough experience, of course, and everything else, we will not tell them anything. The straits there - yes, but closing them is somehow not ice, we freely walk through the Danish straits, and through the "Turkish" (Bosphorus and Dardanelles) and through a number of other straits and we do not pay for anything for their passage. hi

                On the one hand, this is partly true, but on the other, not quite.
                That ever-memorable Convention of 82 years allows (to a certain extent and in cases) the extension of the jurisdiction of the state to the exclusive economic zone, for example, for the protection of the marine environment (according to the same MARPOL). For the commercial line, constant inspections, bureaucracy and other "joys" - downtime and loss of profit. The question here is only in the political plane, not the legal one.
                In fact, even if we had not joined the convention, it would have changed little. The actual situation is that we cannot de facto ensure the sovereign right to the "Soviet" water area (politically and technically). What prevents us from denouncing now? Whoa ...
                And it is also better for China to come to an agreement on this issue, rather than enter into an open conflict. Moreover, the active use of this route is only theoretical.
                What is really important is the shelf, but it is not directly related to the problem of the Northern Sea Route. It is in our interest to "load" the path. Sovereign rights to the shelf - this is task # 1. hi

          The article is utter nonsense, in terms of deploying a military base there, especially for basing strategic aviation (as some forum users dream of).
          We have Tiksi ... everything has been checked and debugged, the runway has been repaired and that’s it (all logistics and infrastructure are in place).

              As for the start to swim .... already koment laid out who like what .. without us they .. no!

              And now on the topic, that is not there and in the wrong place.
              Just the article is about the surrender of Vikra .. and everything would be fine, but after all .. they do not voice the "devils" that was .. but it was ... "interesting" wassat especially in the light of the recent cries and exclamations about the power of our aircraft and the weakness of the amers ... this is me about the Kiti-Hawk flight ... when we amers dipped (sort of like) the most I can.
              And now ... back ... I would like to listen and see the comments fellow -patriots.

              So, on the afternoon of August 21, 2013, MiG test pilot Andrei Shishov completed the take-off and landing of the MiG-29K with the customer’s typical combat load.
              At the request of the Indian side, the pilot hooked onto the first (closest to the stern) aerofinisher cable.
              Take-off time - 14:35 Moscow time, landing - 15:40 Moscow time.
              The rather long stay of the aircraft in the air is explained by the need to perform a difficult flight task as part of the test of the ship and its aircraft weapons.
              Well, it seems, and yuryayaya fellow, but belay

              Shortly before Shishov’s take-off, at a distance of less than 100 meters from the aircraft carrier, following a parallel course at an altitude of about 50 meters, a base marine patrol aircraft of the P-3 Orion type, flight number 3298 of the Norwegian Armed Forces, with the inscription “Viking” flew over.



              Well, then it’s not interesting, they reported to Monchegorsk, with the DE, the MiG-31 took off to intercept, came ........

              But if, as I wrote, Rogachevo and Graham-Bell would be engaged, then .. "this" would not have happened soldier

              Therefore, I say and say ... "urya-article" complete profonation !!!! soldier Now it’s not in the trend to cut the loot ... they will bury it in the snow lol in permafrost wassat It will last longer! fellow

My opinion on this base: it is imprisoned to cover from a strike through the pole or vice versa to organize a strike there, to accompany IA strategists. It is far from there to the NSR, especially when you consider that they go exclusively through the Kara Gate. Here Rogachevo is just under the Kara Gate and sharpened!

    In order to assess the strategic importance of the Novosibirsk Islands, just look at the map of the Arctic Ocean basin. This archipelago is a continuation of the continental shelf. Novosibirsk islands were once part of the continent. They are located in the Northern Sea Route area of ​​the strategic sea route from Europe to the Far East. The Novosibirsk Islands archipelago is the eastern tip of the arc: Svalbard Islands - France-Joseph Land - Northern Land - Novosibirsk Islands. Given forecasts of the presence of huge hydrocarbon reserves in the Arctic basin, the Novosibirsk Islands are becoming a kind of basis for the development of these minerals. This archipelago is of great importance in the military-political sense.

    The SSBN patrol area, however ... Yes, and the Northern Sea Route is a strategic artery that should potentially be covered.
    Russia, with the appropriate infrastructure equipment, can, if necessary, deploy on its "northern facade" a full-fledged aviation grouping, including AWACS aircraft, air defense interceptors, naval missile carrier, and fighters to gain air supremacy.
    At the same time, no aircraft carrier can compare with it in combat stability.

    Remember the old joke about how two missiles met in the air and the Russian persuaded an American to fly to the states with her? Few people are aware that this hypothetical meeting would not have occurred over the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean, but most likely over the Arctic. I remember in the middle of the 90's my friend flew to the states, most of all, her fourth-year student, an excellent student, was struck that she saw solid ice half way smile. I was more fortunate - I had a globe with a ruler at home, and when I was 10, I made a discovery that I decided to keep secret: through the North Pole, the states are shorter and if the Americans find out about it and launch rockets ... Homeland in the dangers smile.
    At the same time there were "Sannikov's Land", "The Island of Calm", "Two Captains" ... And I understood why these people risked everything, going into this white silence. Then I learned about the shelf, and about hydrocarbons, and about huge biological resources.
    And yet, despite the enormous economic importance of developing the Arctic, I always had the thought that the Arctic is a huge gateway to Russia that needs to be controlled and protected.
    By the way, in my opinion, the only reason Admiral Kolchak can and should forever remain in the memory of posterity is precisely his Arctic studies, and not mediocre, in my opinion, leadership of the white movement and, especially, his cohabitation with Anna Timireva during to the wife.

    In addition, container transportation is unlikely due to the formation of condensation in containers, for example with equipment, furniture. It is also with bulk goods that absorb moisture well. It is possible to transport metal structures, LPG, LNG. This amounts to a small amount of cargo transportation.

    You simply did not see the nuclear-powered container ship "Sevmorput", how many containers it brought at once to the Dudinsky seaport. And no one complained about any condensate, and that they just didn’t bring furniture, cars, equipment, food, and so on, so on, It’s a pity that I didn’t find a photo of the Northern Sea Route, but there is Taimyr, which took part in escorting a detachment of ships of the Northern Fleet.

    It was construction site No. 501, the Salekhard-Igarka railway, after the death of Stalin, construction was curtailed, which is a pity. It was an alternative to the NSR, but on land, and now the Ural North-Ural Polarny corporation has developed a completion project, there remains 200 kilometers to connect the sections, the project is planning to start construction in 2015. Fill up, the rails are all in place. If I’m not mistaken on the site "VO", in my opinion in the summer there was a photo report from these places. Everything is worth both locomotives and switches, even barracks for a particularly distinguished creative class. It's just a small matter, give a command and the barracks will be filled with workforce. And you can collect a lot of it only in Moscow. They will quickly finish building if they want to eat. And who does not want to, there is a lot of place in the tundra. By the way, in Yamal in Sabetta They are building a seaport with a terminal for LNG and the airport has already been launched, now they are seeking international status for it. The Arctic Rescue Center has been opened in Dudinka, the construction of an emergency space monitoring station on the NSR is planned for 2015. And Taimyr? The entire periodic table is in the depths. By the way, "Norilsk Nickel" the state is gradually beginning to squeeze, and then the bourgeois have already become quite drunk. In general, it is gratifying to see that the North is quietly beginning to come to life.

    Yes, I agree, the living conditions (North) there are not easy, but if the state will in fact, and not in words, support brave and selfless people (after 15-20 years in the North, a guarantee or state assistance in obtaining housing, an apartment, a building plot with an interest-free loan in central Russia), then I think there will be no shortage of personnel. Regarding the melancholy and binge in the North, I personally cannot say, I have not worked there yet. But I can say that you can get drunk in the Crimea and Belgorod, it depends on the person and not on the environment, it only helps to quickly "fall into the glass."

    Oh, there would be more such good news and RESULTS good because I have not believed promises from above for a long time.

    It is high time! Our icebreaking fleet is generally the most developed in the Arctic. And such a huge strategically valuable territory needs to be monitored.

    The Arctic Circle is longing, cold, hopelessness and alcoholism, the New Siberian Islands are probably the same in Cuba ...
    I agree about the Arctic, with the exception of alcoholism. I have this personal opinion

    I apologize for the tactlessness, do you live in the Arctic? If so, then urgently leave for fun, warmth and hope and do not spoil the environmentally friendly environment of the Arctic. And if you do not live here, then do not trend about what you did not see.

    It will take ten years, and this will be the area of ​​busy shipping. A base on the archipelago is a must.

    I very much agree with Captain 45. Walking in the Arctic, and even more so hard to live there. My friend sent a photo in front of the girl with the Kola, admire, however. I've been there, and the new land, and yet, the hell knows where.
    In general, it’s hard without women and vodka, and most importantly books.

    There is no practical application from the base. The presence of the military in the Arctic is important. In the 70s and 80s, there were already air defense personnel at the Kotelny. I think that now not so much the rusty barrels will be removed as new ones will be added. They will kill the rest of the deer. I saw how they did it from the "Kalash". But in general, I welcome the revival of civilization at Kotelny.
