Pentagon: Russian VKS on technical capabilities equaled the US Air Force

The Russian Space Forces have eliminated the lag in technical capabilities from the US Air Force, Frank Gorentz, commander of the US Air Force in Europe, told reporters yesterday His words leads TASS.

“I don’t think it will be controversial to say: they have overcome the gap in ability,” said Gorenz, commenting on the modernization of the Russian aviation. “I mean both the planes that they (the Russians) produce and the ability to create extremely well-protected areas with access restriction systems, which personally causes me more anxiety.”

He noted that Russia managed to "improve both quality and quantity."

According to Gorentz, the US Air Force will now "have to expand training," which will allow "to receive, if necessary, access to such well-protected zones." “It is absolutely clear that we will have to go back (to the old practice) and start practicing the same things that we did during the Cold War,” the general noted.

Such well protected zones, according to Gorentz, are the Crimea and the Kaliningrad region.

Comments

[sever.56]

He flatters the US Air Force, saying that the capabilities of our air forces are equal to the American air forces in terms of technical capabilities. Where did he get that we were behind? It’s not because they blinded the F-35 woodwafer, on which hundreds of billions of bucks swelled, but didn’t bring it to mind?

[Baikonur]

Yes sir! Russian Aerospace Forces did not catch up, but - Steeper and Higher than the American Air Force! In which since the beginning of the year, their "flyers" have already killed 18 pieces. "unkillable" F-15 and F-16

[oleg-gr]

Can a commander say anything bad about his kind of troops? Everything is fine with him, and the rest are only catching up. Say differently - at once they will find a replacement.

Yes, there is a feeling that they are being lulled and offered to rest on their laurels. We must not listen, but work ahead of the curve, and not stop. Otherwise, soon the "partners" will make a spurt, and will be far ahead. They have the opportunity for this, whatever you say.

with their Air Force?

Americans have space (combat) engaged in the Air Force (silo-based ICBMs, the same in their charge)

The US Air Force base at Cape Canaveral (and SC) is the same as them, and there are a bunch of small SC

and others

The US Navy is engaged in the same space, but less

Walter M. Schirra USN Gemini-6A Commander
Neil A. Armstrong US Navy Gemini 8 Commander
Eugene A. Cernan USN Gemini-9A Pilot
Michael Collins USAF Gemini 10 Pilot
Richard F. Gordon USN Gemini 11 Pilot

02.01.2015
Satellite Mobile User Objective System-3 or MUOS-3 american navywas sent from Cape Canaveral, where the navy station is located on the Atlas V booster. Ultimately, MUOS-3 will be located in a geostationary orbit (35400 km above the Earth).

Mobile User Objective System-3 already the third satellite in its series. MUOS-1 and MUOS-2 were also launched from the Atlas V launch vehicle, respectively, in February 2012 of the year and July 2013 of the year. The satellite was built for the American forces by Lockheed Martin.

================================================== ====

According to data from open sources, since the beginning of the year, the Air Force of the Russian Federation has lost in serious aviation incidents (excluding the crash of 6 July 2015 year) 5 aircraft, however, three people died in three disasters.
approx.
So the Americans and the raid per year is almost 4-5 times more than ours

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Listen, well, I did not even expect such a dense cheers-patriotism.
With the advent of the Su-27 and MiG-29, the USSR Air Force basically went head-to-head with the US Air Force, losing in some way, but winning in some way over the Yankees. However, by 1991, the Americans flooded to a new technological level, and we ... got up. They modernized their "Needles", installed the latest control and communication systems, improved airborne radars and so on and so forth, but we did not have any of this - until recently they flew on aircraft with avionics of the 1980 model. The Americans created an effective medium-range missile - AMRAAM, the USSR responded with the R-77, but due to the fact that the main production facilities remained in Ukraine, the missile did not go to the troops, and we still have the R-27, an analogue of the same ancient Sparrow, which the United States has not used for a long time. Our short-range missile (Made in the USSR!) R-73 short-range, which at the time of its appearance was the best in the world, is not now such - the Sidewinders are being modernized and improved. And so - whatever you touch.
The situation is slowly improving - the Su-34, Su-35 went to the troops, adequate weapons appeared (but not enough yet), new electronic warfare systems (oh, not a joke), in the next 2-3 years the newest air-to-air missiles should be adopted "RVV-AE and RVV-SD, which are not inferior to the Americans, but ... this is yet to come, and now we are still inferior to the states - especially in numbers.

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

UR "air-to-air" RVV-AE and RVV-SD, which are in no way inferior to the Americans

The aim-120 is inferior in range. they have 2000km since 105 and already 2004km since 120, and have been designed for 180km, so far we are only creating a RVV-SD with a range of 110km ...

Our RVV-DB is under 200 km, but it is already of a different class and twice as heavy.

You can also recall CUDA - it will be very interesting ...

As for solid fuels, there was a lag.

Stuffing, for your consumption, to expand the budget.

Quote: Falcon

Lose the aim-120 in range. with 2000 they have 105 km and with 2004 they already have 120 km, and they design it under 180 km

In principle, yes, but the difference of 110-120 km is not great, especially given the fact that no one at such ranges of medium-range air-to-air missile launchers shoots (in a real battle, in my opinion, no one used Amraham at 50 km). But one can hope that the AGSN will be more interesting on ours.

Two times heavier than what? :) Do you know the mass of AIM-120D? I would be grateful for the source.

Catch up, catch up with the guys, but it is unlikely to succeed.

I am surprised at the opinion of citizens of Russian (Russian) origin living in countries of "advanced" Europe. I do not understand the malicious comments about sovkovism left in the homeland of the former now co-workers. They themselves were scoops, so they remained scoops. Bourgeois in the nobility, type)

Nobody is going to catch up with anyone. It's stupid, hopeless, and terribly expensive. And if you do not catch up, but simply step over the technological level? Did it work with "Armata"? Happened. Nobody and anywhere could embody these ideas that are embedded in this machine.
And, then, who else should catch up with? Some of our "partners" have a problem with space flights. And it would seem that they have recently landed on the moon ...

Well, like this! Terrorists have no air defense (not counting MANPADS). And the flyers from the NATO Air Force have long lost the skills and ability to overcome the layered air defense system - that is what they were preparing for before the 91st year. Now it comes to the generals, to which the war with a knowingly weaker enemy leads.

[vell.65]

And did they have the skills to overcome the layered missile defense system? As soon as they sit on their hedgehogs with their bare asses, they will only think about it.

[Ross_ulair]

There were, were. The Yankees are not fools, they were preparing very seriously for the "hot" stage of confrontation with the USSR

I am more worried about their ability to block access to certain zones, "Gorenz said ... Mr. did not want to mention the Russian air defense systems, so as not to sign the complete superiority of the Russians

[Dobroslav2015]

You can't stop and skid in such things, just forward. Even if the backlog is eliminated, this is not a reason to calm down, you need to be ahead of the curve so that you can unpleasantly surprise the enemy with your capabilities. And as Suvorov said "surprised means won."

In general, there is something to be proud of! And most importantly there is something to answer ... Toli will still be men!

[katalonec2014]

I hope that by the year 20 the volume of deliveries will not change, which will allow us to seriously increase our forces in aviation, air defense and, of course, the navy. We’ll think about slipping in, leaving with a broken sea ...

[roskot]

Such well-protected zones, according to Gorenets, are the Crimea and the Kaliningrad region

Our Honduras haunts them.

[X Y Z]

According to Gorenets, the US Air Force will now "have to expand training," which will allow it to "get access to such well-protected areas if necessary"

Well, okay. The "magic" F-35, or even the "super-magic" F-22 will come and everything will immediately become easily accessible. Another American bragging. Advertising of forces and opportunities.

[Sergey-8848]

Either the translation is incorrect, or the general is stupid - to compare the VKS and the Air Force. However, the essence of his statement is clear and transparent: "Hey, there, in the Congress! The Russians are coming! Give me more money, and more!"

[Vladimir 1964]

Colleagues, what are you stifling Americanos? Well, the general told the truth in his understanding. Moreover, he seemed to me to be a person far from politics, a purely warrior, and he showed us respect, it is clear that with an American accent, but he couldn’t say otherwise, even physiologically. They have a smaller alphabet, a different mentality, and they are more swaggering.
But he thinks competently and purely military.

Here it is like that.

This is the answer to the question: how so? military budgets 10: 1, and in real forces - equality.

They wrote at the time that the F-35 lost the training battle of the F-16 with a score of 9: 1. The F-35 pilot came up with only one maneuver, which gave him an advantage; and in other cases, he was driving F-16, which was with outboard fuel tanks; obviously overtaxed and with poor aerodynamics.

There are tales that F-35 pilots are not taught at all to maneuver aerial combat; they don’t even have any instructions - only at a distance or to drape - such an airplane turned out.
