“Russia is not able to conduct a full-fledged military rivalry with NATO”

133
According to media reports, a collegium of the Ministry of Defense was held the other day with the participation of President Vladimir Putin. The head of state stressed the importance of strengthening the country's defense in the Arctic region.

Vice-President of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems Konstantin Nikolaevich Sokolov commented on KM.RU issues related to the presence of Russia in the Arctic.

Between transnational structures there is a struggle for the natural resources of the Arctic

Special attention to enhancing our capabilities in the Arctic region reflects the key problems of world politics. At present, there is a rivalry between large transnational structures that are fighting for the right to develop the natural resources of the Arctic. In this vein, we see a lot of events. For example, you can recall the attack of the so-called environmentalists on our platform. In my opinion, there was not a single person with an environmental education. Showed and journalists, and volunteers, and someone else. But this is not environmentalists at all. I believe that this is a seizure group that went to our platform to do a provocation. That is, we see that power actions have already begun.

It will be necessary to restore order in the Arctic region with the use of a show of force. However, Russia is not in a position to conduct full-fledged military rivalry with the NATO bloc, and our demonstration of power will be very limited. To lead such a confrontation, you need to do almost impossible things. It is necessary to restore the education system, which will provide personnel for our defense industry and the armed forces. It is necessary to restore the industry, the production of components, because we have lost our technological independence.

The country's general economic situation is not such as to radically change the balance of power with the West. We see that the United States spends more on defense than the rest of the world. It is clear that this is done in order to achieve political goals, relying on force. After all, this is not necessarily a direct war: we can talk about simply the threat of the use of force. It seems to me that now activity in the Arctic region will increase. Russia will provide at least demonstrative measures to strengthen its presence.

Our army is more police oriented.

When Shoigu in the army there have been positive developments. Under Serdyukov, everything that had any value was sold under the hammer: the premises of the Academy, various educational institutions. They, by the way, moved with the loss of personnel. I am not talking about the reform connected with the transition of the army to the brigade system. Under Serdyukov, direct blows were made to all remnants of our defense system, crushing things were done.

With the arrival of Shoigu, the situation has changed for the better. But we must understand that our armed forces are not focused on the country's defense in an interstate clash, but on the fight against so-called international terrorism. This is evident in the exercise scenarios. And what is international terrorism, which the army is fighting? This is a rebel, partisan movement. That is, our armed forces are more oriented towards the performance of police functions and, to a lesser extent, towards the defense of the country against those who were previously called the likely adversary. Now these are probably “probable friends” with whom we fight in the Arctic.

By itself, the defense of the country from the NATO bloc has not been secured for a long time. Even the deterrence functions that our strategic nuclear forces have always performed are gradually being lost. New opportunities have appeared for delivering a quick disarming strike with cruise missiles, and the capabilities of the US missile defense are being intensively increased. And all this together reduces the ability of nuclear deterrence on the part of Russia to an insignificant amount.

    I think it is a matter of time. And in the Arctic, now we can engage in full-fledged military rivalry. All NATO has no such icebreaker fleet. And the Red Banner Northern Fleet is very combat ready.

        They don’t really have anything there, they didn’t need the Arctic until they found oil. There are dozens of similar articles on the Internet. NATO’s fighting ability is in general a big question, they don’t want to fight, and the United States will fart in the world to protect its interests.

          Alexander, you are absolutely right. Moreover, after the reductions of the European armies, the task of reaching the English Channel in a few days is not so impossible. And the combat effectiveness of our aircraft in the article is VERY downplayed. Unfortunately, now in the internet there are tons of articles by unfortunate analysts who did not serve, did not study, but who read all crap and think of themselves as Napoleons at least.

            Apparently, training launches of ICBMs, flights of strategists, deployment of stations of the Voronezh type are directed against international terrorists, according to the author. Then it was more correct to say that all this was directed against the main sponsors of the terrorists.

After Taburetkin and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief who successfully ruined our once-beautiful army, decades were needed to reach the level of at least the 80s. Oh, it’s a shame for the Power!

              Your poor army? Are you from latvia or some thread of eZZtonia? Did you even serve ?? If they did serve (which I strongly doubt), then they certainly would not have written such nonsense. It looks like a gem of a kitchen strategist-graduate student about "poor soldiers" and "fool-commanders". Of course, our Army is weaker than in the USSR, but you will probably be surprised - to my great regret, the USSR is already gone. And our Army is able to compete on an equal footing with the main enemy, the Amers and NATO.

              - RANS? Russian Academy of Natural Sciences? A sort of parallel RAS pseudoscientific structure? Everything with this sokolov is clear - he is still "isperd". You need to be able to fight in the Arctic - it has its own specifics. The usual fleet is out of business there without a developed icebreaker fleet. Ironically, the greatest danger in the event of a war in the Arctic will not be the Americans, but the Finns. And maybe Canadians. We have already encountered the Finns in the north, but it is not pleasant, to be honest. So don't get too deeply into the opinions of all these falcons. Such falcons screamed at one time that Syria was still going nuts, and the Russians had better recall the fleet from the waters of the Middle Sea, because the Americans would sink that fleet once or twice. We see that everything is fine, Russia is not at all such a poor and wretched stepdaughter, but a powerful and strong, rather advanced state.

              From the opinion of such "experts" actively promoted by the media, a negative image of society about the state of our Armed Forces is formed. It is necessary to understand that the army has its own, so to speak, "undercover" groupings associated with various power and industrial circles that persecute their narrow interests, often having nothing to do with the interests of the army and the country. At the same time, our main problem is hushed up - the weakness of communications, and the almost complete absence of infrastructure in the alleged remote theaters of operations.
              The trouble with the "Serdyukov" reform is not so much the defeat of the generals (who suffered least of all, by the way) as the destruction of the logistical support of the troops, military transport aviation and links of operational and tactical leadership of the troops.

          Yes, they don’t really have anything there, they didn’t need the Arctic until they found oil.

          According to estimates by the US Geological Survey, almost a third of all the world's hydrocarbon deposits are concentrated on the Arctic shelf, laughing ! Isn't it a paradox? And the casket just opens. Oil and gas on the shelf are shallow, much closer to the surface than on land. There is much more oil and gas under the bottom of the Pacific or Indian Ocean, but we have not yet learned how to drill from a platform swaying on waves three to five kilometers above the bottom. As soon as the USA GS learns right there, it concocts a new forecast where exactly the world's hydrocarbon reserves are concentrated. In the meantime, it is convenient for the states to consider that almost all of the oil and gas on Earth is on the Arctic shelf, this adds meaning to the struggle for claiming the shelf. Yes, and most importantly, it justifies the cost of it, you need to cut it. wink ! So in the near future, in spite of the stormy protests of the penguins, we are preparing for the US sovereignization of Antarctica! laughing!

      Unfortunately, the Northern Fleet now cannot be compared even with the Soviet Northern Fleet. While we have been marking time for 20 years, our "partners" have invested huge amounts of money in their armed forces.

          After putting Boreev into operation, it’s no longer possible to say that it was no longer possible



          At the Valdai Forum on September 19, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu unexpectedly made a sensational statement, from which it follows that the fleet may have to abandon the R-30 Bulava intercontinental ballistic solid fuel sea-launched missile, which was put into service with great difficulty in 2012 year ...

          ... The latest submarine nuclear missile project 955 Borey can remain unarmed. The missile mines on the nuclear submarines Yuri Dolgoruky, Alexander Nevsky and Vladimir Monomakh were made only under the Bulava. The dimensions of the R-29RMU2 Sineva or R-29RMU2.1 Liner rocket-propelled rocket on these submarines do not allow their dimensions ...

    At one time, I had to answer and provide radio navigation equipment for the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route. IF RNS (Tropic, Mars-75) were created and worked. Quite recently, I had to participate in negotiations to ensure radio navigation, drive and helicopter landing at our drilling rigs and some airfields. An amazing picture foreigners dictate to us not only the composition of the aircraft, but also the equipment for them. This is completely unacceptable. Our north, so we must dictate what should be out of equipment and facilities. As expected, there should be a program created by leading research institutes, which the Government will consider and approve, if it considers it necessary.

      Interesting. You were previously responsible for providing radio navigation equipment for the Arctic, but at the recent "negotiations" (it would be better to call it not "negotiations", but a planning meeting) foreigners dictated. Probably, during this time, some kind of international agreement appeared, due to the adoption of which the position of the Russian Federation on this issue is weakening. Which one? I think that the vice-president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, commenting on issues related to Russia's presence in the Arctic, should not ignore specific factors that weaken the country's political will and sovereignty in this territory or in some area of ​​activity (if these factors are not classified as classified ).

    Short article, but interesting.
    A. 1) The professor says obvious things, and the USSR was inferior to NATO, at least a little, but always. What, can you compare the allies of the Warsaw Pact and NATO? England and Poland, France and Hungary? Of course not.
    But there was parity. And now he is gone. It’s clear and a bug. Then why this expert pearl? In general, what kind of organization is this, with a unicorn on the background of the globe?

    2) It is not the confrontation that needs to be strengthened, but think about how to destroy the Federal Reserve System of the Shan, how to create a 5th column there, so that their "Marked" would appear there, their "Understand".
    B.
    1) The author does not offer anything, but indicates a problem. A problem that everyone has long known.
    2) The emphasis is on confrontation in the Arctic, around the huge resources that need to be protected.
    The question is: for whom to protect them? For Abramovich and Deripasok? In the Union, the people had equally from these riches, not counting the numbered workers, now for whom? Or as Rogozin said in Severodvinsk: "Thank you guys, there are many who want to go to our bowels." You can't put thanks in your pocket. Distribute the rent fairly: make aviation kerosene not the most expensive in the world, make kilowatts cheaper - was this why people built hydroelectric power stations, and so on.
    3)
    Under Serdyukov, direct strikes were made on all the remnants of our defense system, destructive things were done.

    Well, was Serdyukov with whom? With GDP, or with DAM? Is the tandem a myth? These experts are like weathercocks, back and forth, and some in general as prostitutes, shame and shame. Therefore, I would be very careful about their opinions. On the one hand, truthful words are spoken, and on the other, they cast a shadow over the wattle fence.

        Why excuse the Warsaw bloc inferior to NATO ????

        There are two lines: 1) War without WMD. 2) The war with WMD.
        WMD was more with NATO. Comparison and reduction treaties were in relation to the ShA, but not to NATO. These are two big differences.
        If we talk about a conventional war, then NATO is first and foremost a Sha, how are you going to transfer tanks across the Atlantic? Or even across the English Channel?
        Interceptors appeared as a response to flights over the country, not from a good life.
        The same thing in the Navy: we could maintain tension at sea only with the ShA. If France and England were connected, then there were not enough funds, ships. I emphasize, without the use of WMD.
        The fact that the Union was in no hurry to cut old tanks into metal, put on conservation, does not mean superiority over NATO. We could easily roll out Europe with tanks, but getting to the Sha, Canada is a problem.

We will certainly look "who will win" but it is better if the state is at the same time with its citizens. If citizens are handed over or betrayed, it will not be sweet. And such chances have been and will be at all times and under all political regimes. The only difference is that in our time, in an era of unbelief and without morality, "without a Motherland - without a flag" the probability of such treason is several times higher.

    That is, our armed forces are more focused on the performance of police functions and, to a lesser extent, on the defense of the country from those who were previously called the likely adversary. Now these are probably “probable friends” with whom we are fighting in the Arctic.

    But this does not mean that we will not adequately respond to NATO's statements. If this were not so, then they would have become insolent long ago ... And now time is working for us, which our military-industrial complex uses to strengthen our defenses. And how NATO is fighting now, we have seen in recent years - to attack a weak country with a pack of jackals, and in case of resistance, quickly "retreat". The world is different now, and there is little agreement in this bloc with the exception of the "fathers-creators", and they have their own problems "mouthful".

    I read the article.

    At first I thought not to write anything. Then he decided.

    I disagree!!!!

    I believe that despite years of collapse and humiliation, our army is still strong and can say its weighty word.

    I do not call for hatred moods. I just think that if we immediately tune in to defeat, then it is better for us to surrender all our positions and not lean out, relying on the mercies of the Euro-mosyat ...

    Only graces will not be.

    I believe that NATO should be afraid to attack Russia. My position is based on the victory of the Russian army over the Georgian in 2008.

    Everyone knows that the Georgian army was well trained and armed according to NATO standards.
    The Georgian army owned a strategic initiative, but did not realize it (did not capture / destroy the Roki tunnel).

    There were losses. Losses, especially the air force - are not justified. But we won! Georgian army fled!

    Why am I recalling all this? Not everything is decided by the number of tanks and planes. Examples? Please, from fresh.

    1) the French and British had more troops and equipment in 1940. The Wehrmacht smashed them to smithereens.

    2) In 1941, the USSR had more equipment on the western border. Did not help. Due to the strategy (superiority in the direction of the main attacks several, even ten times), the Germans reached Moscow.

    3) The defeat of the Nazis near Moscow. The Soviet troops did not have much (at times) superiority over the Wehrmacht. The Germans, however, were defeated.

    There are many more examples. And why? Because the number of troops and the number of equipment must be multiplied by a correction factor.

    I will formulate it as the degree of readiness to die for the homeland. For gay people, this coefficient tends to zero.

    Do you think that all these Poles, Hungarians, Germans, French and other "twelve languages", God forbid, happen, war, or military conflict, want to die, just die, in the fields and forests of Russia?

    I think not.

    But in our fellow citizens, I'm sure. I am confident even in the so-called "office plankton". I believe that the above-mentioned "correction factor" is in our genes. And it is activated in hours of danger for the country and the people.

    Like everything said. Sorry for the verbosity. I would also add that I do not want war.

        The raccoon also says that moral qualities and self-sacrifice are one of the elements of what breaks other armies through the knee. As they say, if you are not psychologically motivated, that's all, you don’t even have to start a fight. Losing is a foregone conclusion.
        But there are curious cases. As an example, the battle in Italy (like in the Renaissance), where no one wanted to die either, because passionarity was already not the same. So, in this battle was not recorded a single killed. There was only one prisoner who was drunk and fell off the horse. He was captivated.

In addition, Egypt has committed itself not to fight Israel anymore. They didn’t leave Syria, but this did not prevent the defeat of Syria. In addition to the Golan Heights, Syria could lose a lot of things, but Israel stopped only the stubbornness of the tank formations of the Syrian army, the only elite of the Syrian army, even now they are at their best, unlike other units. it simply connects the August war with Georgia as a warning to NATO. The West is certainly hostile and vile, but you shouldn’t consider them stupid, cowards and weak. It’s already glory of hatred. Opponents should be appreciated even if it’s weak, it should be overestimated and is preparing for revaluation. underestimation never led to good.

        Guys, I'm afraid YOU think tactically, and the strategy is:
        1) 08.08.08.-not a war between Georgia and Russia (it's ridiculous to imagine), but the West (USA) "probing" Russia for its "legal capacity",
        2) Egypt’s war with Israel was not lost due to poor equipment or instructors
        from the USSR, and as a result of underestimating the morale of the parties and not taking into account the features
        religious rituals, which is what the Israelis took advantage of, well knowing this.
        They launched a preemptive air raid on the Egyptian airfields at the time of their earnest prayers to Allah. Literally within an hour, everything was finished with the Egyptian air force.
        Managed to take off a pair of Mig-21, but this, of course ....
        This blitz war in the Middle East, became a great lesson for the military-political structures of the USSR.

The owner of a still free territory is the one who in this territory has set its national flag and statehood before everyone else, declared its rights to this territory to the international community and managed to protect these rights by force.

    We need to constantly prepare for war. Everything that is happening around Russia today clearly indicates that the West is systematically preparing: regrouping and building up forces, information processing of its population and us, the Russians. The approximate timing of the war was predicted back in Soviet times: 2015-2017. The "go-ahead" received for holding the Olympics in Russia at one time showed that there would be no war until the named dates. Therefore, our rearmament programs were also slightly adjusted for 2017-2018. Meanwhile, the 2018 FIFA World Cup has pushed back a possible date to around 2020. It should be noted that the main sporting events, if they are on the calendar, will not be canceled. All over the world, they play one of the most important roles in the processing and manipulation of filling.
    We are given a break. Hence such huge expenditures on new weapons and organizational measures. As for the Arctic, the terms of service have already been announced for personnel - a year in three. Almost like in a war. Thus, there will be no problems with organized picking. And the organization of the structure of global intelligence and target designation in real time will bring everything that has begun to its logical conclusion

    The recipe for this newly discovered respected trouble analyst was coined long ago - an asymmetric response in the confrontation.
    Therefore, they preserve and develop, first of all, even the potential use of which will bring unacceptable damage to the opponent.
    Cruise missiles in an ostensibly "disarming strike" have not been invented today or yesterday, as well as ways to combat this scourge.
    But the Arctic forces, yes, they are needed. Do not go anywhere without them. From time immemorial, new lands, and even their own borders, were surrounded by fortresses and outposts. In terms of warming and the availability of Arctic wealth - this is the time.

At the expense of our education, we can say the following so that skeptics and critics do not say that our education poorer , to some extent they are right, but now there are a lot of free educational resources, I don’t want to study.

Their whole action in Libya was reduced to advertising "Raphael". NATO as a whole and France separately were unable to plan and execute operations to destroy both key points in the early days of the operation and to isolate the sites of operations. So the key objects that in the same Yugoslavia were destroyed in the first hours of hostilities, in Libya were destroyed only a few months later. Moreover, in the planning of operations, the priority in their destruction was never set.

    Everything goes to this. The Arctic brigade is already a statement that we can’t surrender the Arctic without a fight. I don’t remember that something like this was in NATO.

The fight for the resources of the Arctic and the whole North will be serious, as they understand in the West, since icebreakers began to rivet accelerated. Militarily, Russia is able to fight back, the army now, despite the problems, has become stronger than in the 90s.

    However, Russia is not able to conduct a full-fledged military rivalry with the NATO bloc, and our demonstration of force will be very limited. To lead such a confrontation, you need to do almost impossible things. It is necessary to restore the education system, which will provide personnel for our defense industry and the armed forces.


    We need to live "within our means", neither a new arms race nor a strong army with a poor population is necessary for us. It is worth adhering to the principle of reasonable sufficiency. Should we even chase the American fleet in terms of combat power? Catching up is simply unrealistic and ruinous. But to be able to sting, like a flock of small bees, any smart-ass bear trying to clean up their honey, we still can. We don't need balance in draining the economy; we need the ability to sting hard. And the guarantors of our dominance in the Arctic for 20 years to come will be our best icebreaker fleet, and the strongest Northern Fleet, where is NATO!

    When I was studying (for a long time), we also had Sokolov as deputy rector for AHCh, but in fact his last name was ShMULENSON.

    A bit of offtopic.
    When some part of the Jewish class began to understand and see the rejection of their Russian society with the Jewish names of ..bergs, ..manov, etc., they began to take the names of animals and other animals.
    Medvedev, Rybkin, Sokolov, Orlov, etc. so they including recognize their own, if ethnic characteristics are sometimes not obvious.
    By the way, if the photo is at the beginning of an article by him, the author, then judging by the appearance, he is 100% the son of his Middle Eastern people .., let's say this. :-)

      Dear, that most invincible weapon, with the help of which you are going to break the NATO anus, it is created and made by people of the most different nationalities and faiths. Including Muslims and even - about the horror! - by the Jews.

    Yes we can, we can overcome and win. Just not at sea. And not on the Internet. And not in the information war.

    Russia is now unable to conduct full-fledged military competition with NATO ....something I didn’t quite understand What the author of the opus means by full-fledged military competition???............ And he also claims about some kind of mythical weapon, high-precision, which our strategic nuclear forces (forces) nuclear deterrence) will instantly turn into dust, some kind of US missile defense system that does not yet exist anywhere except on paper...??? This is all from the realm of fantasy, just the opposite, the best air defense of the Russian Federation in the world and the equally best coastal and sea-based strategic missiles will decide the outcome of the conflict. Otherwise, given the existing lag in conventional weapons (unfortunately at the moment). NATO's boot would have walked long ago not only on the Arctic ice but also on the central Russian highlands.... The article is definitely a minus!

    I don’t understand, why do they want to take the Arctic away from us? this is our territory, if someone starts a direct war, I think we won’t lose, I think no one will fight with Russia, in short, if some of our politicians don’t sell, the Arctic won’t go anywhere!

    Hi all! I’m reading the opinions of these “academicians” and I want to ask them when they will choke on our bread bought with “bourgeois” handouts....
    The “foreign” ones whine when they are slowly being pushed.
    Yes, Serdyukov, he did “his” job.
    But there's nowhere else to go...
    So we began to straighten our shoulders and “am” it became a bit crowded in the gay-shit-crazy world...
    We’re just quietly strangling their corrupt “mongrels.”
    And after the Olympics, they will howl even louder.

    Quite the contrary, because NATO is bankrupt.

    Is NATO bankrupt? Let's buy it for 1 ruble then. Or - for 1 dollar.

    German media write about the deployment of Iskander missiles near the borders of the Russian Federation with EU countries.
    Europe thinks about hosting US missiles, and then is surprised that it is under retaliatory fire. There is no imaginary threat from Iran, which means Russia has the right to consider the deployment of missiles in the EU as a threat to its security.

    The author cringes without embarrassment. Of course, the Russian army has been reduced to disgrace. But the armies of most NATO countries have shrunk even more disgracefully. As an example, England has only 200 tanks. Germany will have 250, etc. In total, NATO has approximately 4000 vehicles and approximately 3000 in storage. Russia has approximately 3000 in service and 20000 in storage. And this applies not only to tanks, over five years the number of aircraft has decreased by 15% and amounts to 1500 units. The same Britain has only 200 aircraft and not all of them are new, and some countries do not have them at all. Five years ago Denmark had 60, and now 30 aircraft. By the way, even in the USA the number of combat aircraft is reduced by 100! cars a year and they start shouting guard! (When I found out I was shocked)

    I agree with the previous author. There are problems with weapons in Europe now. It's not super accurate at all. They use American bombs and missiles. And what the Americans give them is enough for one fart. The planes are old. There are few armored vehicles for a theater of war like our Russia. The armies are small. There are almost no soldiers with combat experience. They will not want to fight in the Arctic in hunger and terrible cold, or they will be in poverty. I can’t even imagine how the NATO army can now begin to move towards Russia. We can easily stop any offensive with tactical nuclear weapons. But whether they will use their own in response is a question. After all, then there will be a general atomic war.
    I also don’t really believe in disarming non-nuclear strikes. The reason is simple. Firstly, all objects are now protected by radio countermeasures and not everything will get where they need to go. And secondly, I myself saw what kind of shock absorbers our nuclear silos hang on and what kind of covers they have. They withstand an explosion on the lid of a nuclear weapon. And what will 200 kg of TNT from a cruise missile do to them? It will leave a notch on the lid and that’s it. So our military is trying to do better than not.
    Well, the author is definitely another Shniperson.
    There was also some sound that our Arabs were poorly prepared and they fought poorly against the Jews. I would like to recall the statement of Marshal of the USSR Bagramyan. He said that if a unit has less than 50% Russians, it is not combat-ready! So there is no need to compare us with the Arabs.

    But the question of who we will fight with, NATO or terrorists, is a separate matter. It is clear that the war with NATO will begin with a nuclear strike from our side. Therefore, NATO will prefer single strikes on support facilities and infrastructure. And these are already terror groups.

    I will go to fight, but not for these citizens “Pu and Me”, but for my family, children and everything that is dear to me on Russian soil!!!
