Shoigu: a new type of aircraft has been created - Air and space forces

Since 1 in August, in accordance with a presidential decree, a new type of Armed Forces - the Air and Space Forces - “has begun to fulfill its tasks,” Sergei Shoigu said today at a conference call.

"The formation of the VKS by combining the Air Force and the Aerospace Defense Forces is the best option to improve the country's aerospace defense system"- quotes the minister RIA News.

“Now, under the same leadership, the following are united: aviation, anti-aircraft and missile defense troops, space forces and the Armed Forces, ”he said.

“This allows, first of all, to concentrate in one's hands all the responsibility for the formation of a military-technical policy for the development of troops that solve tasks in the aerospace sphere, secondly, due to closer integration, to increase the effectiveness of their use, thirdly, to ensure the progressive development of the country's aerospace defense system, ”Shoigu stressed.

So it was an anniversary recently.

[Baikonur]

Well, here my very essence obliges! - For the videoconferencing !!!

[Hauptmann emil]

For the Air Force, Air Defense, and East Kazakhstan region. In principle, the space forces have already been included in the Dr Vida of the Strategic Missile Forces once, when it was a separate type of aircraft, and not as it is now. Now we need to build near-field spacecraft (within the solar system) and long-distance intergalactic spacecraft.

[Andryukha]

The fact of the matter is that they ended up pulling the blankets from outer space onto the Strategic Missile Forces. I'd love to make a mistake, but is it a redistribution of financial flows?

Space Troops never did not enter the Strategic Rocket Forces as a branch of the armed forces. I served in the VKS, and in the Strategic Missile Forces, and in the Space Forces, and in the East Kazakhstan area.
In the 1997 year, units of the VKS became part of the Strategic Missile Forces, EMNIP.
In 2001, parts of the former VKS and RKO troops were withdrawn from the Strategic Rocket Forces and created Space Forces.

I am minus one.
Do not confuse the terminology:

In 1992, the Office of the Chief of Space Facilities was transformed into the branch of the central subordination forces - the Military Space Forces (VKS). They included Baikonur, Plesetsk, Svobodny cosmodromes (in 1996 year), as well as the German Titov Main Test and Control Center for military and civil spacecraft located in Krasnoznamensk (“413 Object”, “Golitsyno-2”) .. .
In 1997 year Military space forces joined the Strategic Missile Forces.
In connection with the growing role of space assets in the system of military and national security of Russia, by Decree of the President in 2001, on the basis of associations, formations and launch units and missile defense systems allocated from the Strategic Rocket Forces an independent type of troops - Space troops. It was taken into account that space forces and means, forces and means of missile defense have a single sphere of solving problems - space, as well as close cooperation of industrial enterprises, ensuring the creation and development of weapons ...

In 2016, it is planned to adopt the S-500. Which "The main task of the complex is to combat the combat equipment of medium-range ballistic missiles: independently it is possible to intercept IRBMs with a launch range of up to 3500 km [3], and, if necessary, ICBMs in the final section of the trajectory and, within certain limits, in the middle section. means of destruction should provide cover for individual regions, large cities, industrial facilities and priority strategic targets.Also, among the tasks of the anti-aircraft complex are the destruction of hypersonic cruise missiles, aircraft and UAVs, both conventional high-altitude and hypersonic missiles with a speed of 5 M and above (eng. ); destruction of low-orbit satellites and space weapons launched from hypersonic aircraft, shock hypersonic UAVs and orbital platforms."
And given the rhetoric of the SGA that it is necessary to deploy "combat satellites", as well as taking into account the withdrawal of the SGA from the ABM Treaty. Let's just say, ours probably decided to go ahead of the curve. All the more so until they set up the control system, until it starts functioning normally, etc. 2-3 years will pass probably.

And what have you already "put your own rocket" in the S-400 "as according to the TTZ or still ...." you just attach ", but in fact .... with the S-300?

[Iline]

In my opinion, everything is logical - new means of destruction appear, new means of delivery and it is necessary to adequately respond to this.
The only thing that in my opinion does not fit into this structure is Long-Range Aviation. It would be much more logical to create an analogue of the US NARS (or, as they now call it, I don’t want to poke around on the Internet). Combine the strategic forces of YES, Strategic Rocket Forces and the Navy into one fist. The tasks are solved similarly and the management requirements are similar.
But this is my personal opinion, I could be wrong.

It was created long ago, back in the USSR as part of the Strategic Missile Forces, since 1992 the Space Forces as an independent branch of the armed forces. Since 2011, the Space Forces have become part of the East Kazakhstan region.

[Laksamana besar]

I will add:

Colonel General Viktor Bondarev, who heads the Air Force, was appointed to the post of commander in chief of the Aerospace Forces, and Lieutenant General Alexander Golovko, commander of the Space Forces, became his deputy. The post of chief of staff of the new military formation was taken by Lieutenant General Pavel Kurachenko.

At the same time, the current system of command and control of forces and means of aviation and air defense of military districts remains unchanged, said Sergei Shoigu.

“The general management of aerospace defense is still carried out by the General Staff, and the direct management is by the main command of the air forces,” the minister said.

Of course, the step is logical. Aerospace aircraft - the near future of the Yankees (and ours too). I believe this is our organizational response to the concept of instant strike. It remains only to equip the aerospace forces with the most advanced aviation and missile defense.
But there is a pitfall: personnel leapfrog and tugging of the blanket from the Air Force to the ABM defense and vice versa. It is necessary that this should settle down for the good of the country's defense. IMHO.

In my opinion, amateurish, the structure turns out to be complex and overregulated, which means poorly managed. It will take at least five to seven years to work out the optimal decentralization of this complex. And as practice shows, any unification at the first stage leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the system as a whole, a reduction in composition, loss (partially) of management, etc. It is good if there are specialists who give an account of this and a clear plan. In any case, this is breaking , is there time for this?

In my opinion, everything is logical and understandable. In simple terms, the Air Force Forces is the combined command of the Air Force, Air Defense, and Air Defense Forces. For each of the areas will be responsible profile deputy commander of the videoconferencing, and the structure itself will be closed to the General Staff. At the same time, the district commands regarding the operation of front-line and army aviation, despite its formal reassignment of the airborne forces, will have sufficient freedom to use it in accordance with their plans. By the way, now instead of the air force and air defense commands we have the airborne forces

In principle, the space forces have already been included in the Dr Vida of the Strategic Missile Forces once, when it was a separate type of aircraft, and not as it is now. Now we need to build near-field spacecraft (within the solar system) and long-distance intergalactic spacecraft.

to 1998-type of VKS troops (military space forces), from 1998 to 2002 a branch of the Strategic Missile Forces ("thanks" to Perminov and Popovkin), since 2002 - a type of KV troops (space troops). Well .., and in the days of the stools again disappeared into the East Kazakhstan region ..

[Aleksandr1959]

Victor Alksnis about VKS

It would seem, given the sad experience of recent decades, it is time to stop the rash reforms in the Armed Forces. But for some reason, with persistence worthy of a better application, we continue to step on the same rake - reforms are carried out solely for the sake of reforms. As in this case.

Indeed, in the Soviet Army there already existed such a kind of armed forces as the air defense forces, which ensured the fulfillment of most of the tasks that are assigned to the airborne forces today. But during the air defense reforms, they were eliminated as a type of Armed Forces by combining them with the Air Force.

Now, in essence, the same structure is being recreated, but in this case, it turns out that due to the inclusion of the Air Force in the Air Force, they are now essentially being eliminated as an independent type of armed forces. But the Air Force includes, for example, long-range aviation and military transport. What side can they participate in the aerospace defense of the country?

Tell me, who will now provide air support to the ground forces over the battlefield? Who will now lead the front-line aviation, whose main task is to support and cover the ground forces? Who will command the units armed with combat helicopters, such as the Mi-24 and Mi-28? Who will command the aviation units with the Su-25 attack aircraft? What about Su-34 bomber planes? What is the relationship of the aviation units operating these attack planes and helicopters to aerospace defense?

And since the main task of the Aerospace Forces is aerospace defense, then the combat training of personnel will be "sharpened" to ensure precisely this task. Everything else will be in the corral, including striking ground targets and supporting ground forces. In Soviet times, in the Air Defense Forces, fighter aviation pilots, during combat training, also performed training flights to strike at ground targets. But in the total volume of the raid, they accounted for about 10 percent, and 90 percent were flights to intercept air targets.

But in those years, striking at ground targets and air cover of the battlefield was a priority for the Air Force. And there was a clear separation between the air force and air defense. Air defense generally protected the territory of the country from air attacks, and the air force provided cover directly for the battlefield from the air and delivering strikes against ground targets. Long-range aviation attacked targets in the rear of the enemy, and military transport aviation carried out air transportation in the interests of all the Armed Forces.

And I don’t think that now for the VKS command it will be a matter of directly supporting the ground forces on the battlefield since this task is not a priority. This means funding, including the purchase of military equipment and combat training, will be directed, first of all, to aerospace defense. And that means after a while we will be amazed to find that our ground forces will be deprived of air support and in the event of hostilities will suffer large losses. And we will begin to reform again. And then again and again ...
Is it time to stop and get rid of the itch of reformism?

So what? Another reform-shmeforma? When will it end? It seems that this will never end because cutting loot is easier.

What about naval aviation? Did she stay in the Navy or, too, flew into space?
