Construction of a new airfield begins on Franz Josef Land

87
In the archipelago of Franz Josef Land this year, construction of a new airfield will begin, which will be located in the area of ​​the military town of Nagurskoe (Alexandra Land Island). It is reported by the news agency Interfaxreferring to the information published on site of public procurement.

Construction of a new airfield begins on Franz Josef Land


Nagurskoye is the northernmost frontier post of the Russian Federation. The development of military infrastructure on the archipelago of Franz Josef Land, particularly in the Nagursky region, is part of a large program to restore Russia's full-fledged military presence in the Arctic. Given the strategic importance of the region, the creation of new aerodromes and other infrastructure facilities in this macro-region is the most important task directly related to increasing the country's defense capability.

It is reported that the complex of all necessary work in the archipelago will be carried out by the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Main Directorate for the Construction of Roads and Airfields at the Federal Agency for Special Construction". If the plans are implemented within the timeframe designated by the Ministry of Defense, the new airfield on Alexandra Land will be commissioned in December 2016.

In addition to the construction of an airfield in Alexandra Land, it is planned to build an additional administrative and residential complex with an area of ​​about 15 thousand sq. M, roads of about 8 km, a fuel storage and infrastructure networks.

            It seemed to me alone that the crisis in the south-east of Ukraine coincided with the fact that Russia began to actively develop the Arctic and claim it ?! Maybe the Anglo-Saxons brewed all this in order to prevent a large-scale Russian presence in the Arctic ?! After all, what is now being conducted against Russia is exhausting us greatly. The difficult economic situation will not allow us to develop our presence in the north at the same pace (as a year ago) ... The West sacrifices Ukraine for the sake of the region rich in resources. He does not even sacrifice, he does not care at all, it was just that Ukraine was the easiest to stir up. And our people have known this for a long time. This whole scenario in the highest circles was calculated. When analyzed, a lot of interesting facts emerge. For example: it is no coincidence that the Central Bank, even before any sanctions, deprived various banks of licenses, in order to minimize losses in the event of a future ruble collapse. Tour companies went bankrupt "like flies" also not by chance ... The export of capital abroad decreased. Further, it was assumed that with a sharp drop in oil prices, the oil industry could collapse, and at the current dollar rate, the state receives, if not in excess of profit, then at least the same profit as with a high oil price. Something so it seems to me that all this was done not without the participation of our government. Our people deliberately acted as "suckers", made the West believe that we were bad, the ruble fell, oil too, but in fact everything was calculated. Yes, the people are still suffering because of the jump in prices for goods, but such sacrifices are indispensable. There is only one drawback for us in all this !!! This is that when the West understands all this, it will see that it has done a disservice to itself, and that it is on the verge of collapse, it can unleash a real war, as in its existence: not a hybrid, but a hot one. But it seems to me that the GDP has provided for this, if the Chinese and others really support us, then everything will cost a little blood for us ...
            So all these swings with banks, travel agencies, foreign trips of diplomats and subsequent agreements with other world players are quite understandable and justified. Good day hi

              Russia has long been advancing on all fronts: BRICS, as a counterweight to 7G; BRICS Bank, as an alternative to the IMF and WB; development of the Arctic shelf, gas projects, active promotion of services in the field of nuclear energy - the transformation of Russia into an energy hegemon; military-technical cooperation with geopolitical opponents of the United States. All this deprives the United States of leverage in the world. Few people notice this confrontation, but of course the United States cannot ignore it. They act roughly and bluntly, but we deliver point strikes.
              Now the protracted war in Ukraine is undermining such levers of US influence in Europe as the OSCE, the European Union and NATO. At the same time, an alternative market for AvrAsEC is being formed. Further, it remains only to reform the UN.

                Well, one can argue with that. At least for now. The OSCE is brazenly lying, the EU is the same. Well, NATO is not far behind. They all officially declare that Russia is to blame, that they have evidence, etc., etc. I’m silent about the Malaysian boyeng ... So now these levers are actively working for the good of the United States. That's when the whole abscess opens, when these organizations lose confidence in the world for a lie, then yes, the United States will not have such leverage. Greetings! hi

                  hi
                  It is understandable, so far they are under the strong influence of the United States. I think this is the main factor stopping us from being ahead of the game, otherwise they will unite even more. We need all the abscesses to open.
                  Here time works for us. Europe’s problems are exposed by this conflict: the OSCE is not able to solve its tasks, dependence on the United States only exacerbates the situation; The EU is not able to improve the economic situation in a particular country, only exacerbate it; NATO is not able to confront Russia on the European continent, but it is able to foment a serious war.
                  It is worth changing the ruling elites of 3x4 countries and the balance of power will change dramatically. Inside Europe, everyone who is dissatisfied will be voiced, all problems will come to the surface, the fashion of varnishing Euro-values ​​will be replaced by a fashion of revelations.

          Vitaly, I'll tell you a secret - they began to master it long before the USSR. The first information about the region in Russian sources dates back to the 10th century. Particularly active was the development of territories that are now commonly referred to as the Northern Sea Route. In the 16th century, the Pomors managed to get to the mouth of the Ob, and then to the Yenisei and Lena. In the 16-17 centuries, Russian navigators managed to discover the main part of the Arctic coastline, thereby opening the way to the Pacific Ocean. In the middle of the 18th century, researchers of the Great Northern Expedition headed by Vitus Bering worked on the Arctic coast. Scientists were able to compile the most valuable cartographic and hydrographic material. In the early 19th century, Russian navigators continued to actively explore the Arctic. Foreign researchers also took part in some expeditions. So, for example, in 1873 the archipelago, called Franz Josef Land, was discovered by sailors from Austria-Hungary. In 1878-1879, researchers from the joint Swedish-Russian naval expedition on the ship "Vega" passed the Northern Sea Route from beginning to end. In 1899, the legendary icebreaker "Ermak" was built, which made it possible to establish communication between different regions of the north of Russia.

        Almost completely there are no domestic developments of modern, fuel-efficient (cost-effective) and ready-for-mass-produced aircraft for operation in the Far North. In the Russian Arctic, there is no mass segment of alternative types of aircraft (unmanned aerial vehicles, amphibians, ekranoplanes, snowmobiles and so on). Aviation enterprises of the North of Russia are experiencing difficulties with recruitment due to the low prestige of the profession and the reduction in the number of graduates of specialized educational institutions in 1995-2005

        Of course, not everything is so sad, but the reasons for rainbow speeches are not visible either.
        But not everything is so hopeless. In addition to projections and ideas on paper, as well as a number of prototypes of aircraft, Russia has equipment that is ready to go into series or is already under construction, which will allow, in case of proper financing, to eliminate the shortage of aircraft fleet that has arisen over the past 20 years.

    The military base is understandable. But what can border guards do in such a wilderness? If to protect the base - so the base should have its own security. Apparently, this is like the fact that a Soviet citizen could get to Norilsk under the USSR only by special permit. But a foreigner does nothing. I studied in Tomsk and a classmate was from Norilsk. To get to his parents on vacation, they pre-issued him a pass through the police, on which they sold a plane ticket from Novosibirsk.

      With two hands "FOR". It is necessary to restore the airfield network. Not just rebuilding, but actually building from scratch. For there are already precedents. They announced that a new strip was built in Akhtubinsk. Now there are two lanes, with the second allowing for interrupted-continued takeoff tests. Sorry, but the second runway, or as it was called "distant" was in 929 GLITs, though already in the 90s it did not function due to lack of money for repairs. I call comrades in Akhtubinsk with the question: "What is the distant lane restored?"
      Answer: "No, they built a new one at a different place."

      No one will base airplanes on such an airfield. Otherwise, it will be necessary to build heated hangars, fuel storages, rembases, and weapons depots. It will cost as the Olympics in Sochi. The airfield is needed to supply the base, the main forces are a powerful radar with air defense and anti-ship missile protection, well, maybe in the threatened period there will be an on-duty squadron Migov, we will pull three hangars somehow.

But we confidently and most importantly persistently defend our point of view. The most important thing that needs to be achieved there is peace and the territorial integrity of Ukraine. We insisted on this position in Minsk both last time and this time. And what about the fact that "everyone merged" is nonsense.

    During the war, the Germans created several secret airfields in the Soviet Arctic zone. They were discovered after the end of the Great Patriotic War. Traces of one, located at the mouth of the Lena, were shown on Primorsky television: fragments of German equipment, barrels with German symbols and the date - 1943.
