Japanese helicopter carriers: a threat to the Kuril Islands

150


The destroyer "Izumo" full displacement 27 thousand tons! Why do Japanese call destroyers of these large aircraft carriers with a solid flight deck, being careful not to call things by their proper names?

There is no secret in the classification itself. Mine-artillery ships weapons They are a thing of the past, while the terminology is preserved. Modern names have not taken root. Here destroyers grow to the size of aircraft carriers.

Classification is usually conditional. Ships of similar size can have a sharp contrast in functionality. Thus, domestic destroyers evolved into large anti-submarine ships (BOD). Destroyers of the western countries are positioned as air defense escort ships. As part of Japan’s naval self-defense forces, such a class as “destroyers-helicopter carriers” was traditionally present, similar in appearance and designation to Soviet anti-submarine cruisers of the “Moscow” type.

Japanese helicopter carriers: a threat to the Kuril Islands


By the end of the last century, the limited capabilities of the old “Haruna” and “Shirane” forced the JMSDF management to think about the creation of new ships with advanced capabilities for aircraft basing. However, this desire went too far beyond the ban on the possession of offensive weapons. An attempt to create an aircraft carrier could initiate complications in international relations and undermine the image of Japan as a peace-loving country “Permanently renouncing the use of armed force as a means of resolving international disputes” (Constitution, Article 9).

The JMSDF leadership was forced to search for district routes, disguising its intentions in streams of obvious and unscrupulous lies.

In 1998-2003 The Japanese fleet was replenished with three tank-landing ships of the Osumi type. Military experts immediately noted the oddities in their design. “Osumi” is deprived of the main feature of tank landing ships - the bow ramp for landing armored vehicles. At the same time, the presence of the 170-meter flight deck and stern dock camera brings Osumi closer in capabilities to universal landing craft like the French Mistral.

The Japanese themselves claim that the “Osumi” are intended to drop troops on their own territory (!) In order to redeploy military equipment in the event of a war. Which is partly confirmed by the geography of the island nation. In addition, the small helicopter carrier is deprived of a hangar deck and is not intended for long-term deployment of aircraft.


Tank landing ship "Osumi". Total displacement of 14 thousand tons. Speed ​​22 knots. Combat load: up to eight helicopters and two hovercraft. 330 paratroopers (if necessary, this figure can increase three times). Cargo deck capacity: 10 main combat tanks. Means of self-defense of the ship: two anti-aircraft systems “Phalanx”

The first attempt to create a large aircraft carrier did not meet with resistance from the international community. And the Japanese ventured to continue work in this direction.

In 2006, Hyuga was laid. Supereminer with a continuous flight deck and many characteristic features of aircraft carrying ships, incl. hangar deck and two lifts.



In general, despite the scandalousness of his image, “Hyuga” was a harmless design with minimal offensive potential.



The Japanese helicopter carrier is still too small to accommodate modern fighter-bomber on board, and it does not have any means to simplify the take-off and landing of aircraft. Neither the characteristic “springboard”, nor the catapults, nor the arresting gear.

From similar in appearance and size of helicopter carriers - amphibious "Mistral", the Japanese "destroyer" is distinguished by high speed (up to 30 units) and the absence of a stern dock for amphibious armored vehicles and amphibious boats.

Finally, solid built-in weapons (16 rocket mines, typical ammunition - 12 anti-submarine missiles and 16 anti-aircraft ESSM) under the control of the ATECS control unit (Japanese analogue of Ajis). Also the newest radar with eight active phased antennas (four for detection, four for missile guidance). For self-defense in the near zone, a pair of six-barrel “Falanxes” and six TAs are used to launch small-sized anti-submarine torpedoes.

Established air group - up to 16 anti-submarine and multi-purpose helicopters type SH-60 or MCH-101. In 2013, the possibility of basing the American convertiplane V-22 Osprey aboard the Hugues was demonstrated.

The appearance, dimensions and characteristics of “Hyugi”, in general, confirm its stated purpose. Anti-submarine ship with hidden amphibious potential. In peacetime - search and rescue missions and sentinel service on the high seas. In the military - the transfer and dropping from the air of the personnel of the self-defense forces of Japan. Where? The Japanese leadership does not give a clear answer to this question.

A much more sinister event was the appearance of the following type of Japanese destroyer-helicopter carriers - 22DDH Izumo.

Names for new ships picked up what you need!

“Izumo” - in honor of the armored cruiser, a member of the Tsushima battle, later famous for his treacherous attack on the British and American ships in Shanghai (December 8 battle 1941 of the year).

The second helicopter destroyer, launched in August of this year, was named Kaga. In memory of the strike aircraft carrier whose aircraft bombed Pearl Harbor.



Izumo is really amazing with its size. In length, it exceeds the British lightweight aircraft carrier Invincible by 40 meters. Its regular crew is 470 people, while the actual number of military personnel on board (including aviation technical personnel and airborne troops) can exceed a thousand people.

The four turbines of the General Electric LM2500 disperse the whopper to the 30 nodes.

Despite its steepness, the destroyer is equipped with a “trimmed” version of the radar FCS-3 with four surveillance AFAR (without the ability to control rocket weapons, which, moreover, is absent). The creators of Izumo completely abandoned any built-in weapons (with the exception of Phalanxes and SeaRAM self-defense complexes).

Destroyer weapons will be fully presented aviation.

The staff of the air group - seven anti-submarine and two search and rescue helicopters. This is a lot for such ships with a solid flight deck with a length of 248 meters.

What will really stand on the flight deck and in the Izumo hangar?

Most likely - fighters with a short takeoff and landing. That is, the American F-35.

But do not rush to draw conclusions!

It is known that Japan does not possess any VTOLV and even in the future it is not planned to purchase such equipment. The Japanese contract for the supply of F-35 (42 aircraft) includes only vehicles of modification “A”, i.e. conventional fighter-bombers with a classic airfield base. The creation of VTOL by own forces is unlikely and is not advertised anywhere.

In addition, despite its size, the helicopter destroyer Izumo, as well as the Hyuga, is devoid of catapults and take-off jumps. What makes it impossible to take off from its deck ship planes like “Super-Hornet”.

There is a threat of participation of Izumo in the next international operation to eliminate undesirable countries in the Middle East, with the deployment of the US Marine Corps on F-35B (as on the amphibious Wospah and the Americas). But we have to admit that such a scenario is unlikely. Japan would not create a special aircraft carrier for wars in the Middle East, while its overlord has enough aircraft carriers of its own.

Japan has two eternal problems. North Korea and the Kuriles. Not so long ago, a third one appeared - China, the economic confrontation with which took the form of a conflict over the disputed Senkaku Islands.

Admittedly, the tank-landing Osumi, like the more modern Hyuuga and Izumo, is of little use for war with Comrade Kim or for a serious confrontation with the Chinese fleet.

Obviously, the main purpose of creating these “destroyers” was to ensure the possibility of landing on the sparsely populated islands and taking control of the Kuril Ridge. At the same time, the flexible composition of air groups makes it possible to place on board a sufficient number of anti-submarine helicopters to neutralize the domestic submarine fleet - the only threat in the chosen direction.

It is in this format that the capabilities of seven Japanese helicopter carriers are best realized.

Afterword

The only thing that remains to be added within the meaning of this article is the incredible, by domestic standards, construction time. “Hyuga” and its “Ise” sisership were laid and put into operation in less than three years. Moreover, as was indicated in the description of the destroyer-helicopter carrier, this is not about “ferries”, such as “Mistral”, which are built using the technologies of civil shipbuilding.

“Hyuga” - there is a full-fledged warship, when looking at which lines from The Destroyers are recalled:

Herd a hundred thousand horses
A single will is compressed.
The enemy will choose from all paths
One - to the bottom and to hell!
Good luck to those who will live.
See you - who will die.
It is God's work for us to administer!
Before communication. And go!


Helicopter destroyer with a huge power plant, rocket weapons and a modern set of fire detection and control, which would envy a different missile cruiser.

Japanese shipyards threshing equipment with terrifying speed. Over the past 10 years, the JMSDF has been supplemented with 10 destroyers (missile and aircraft carriers), a military icebreaker and nine multipurpose submarines (including the six newest “Soryu” - with an air-independent Stirling engine, whose capabilities are comparable to nuclear powered ships).

The pace of construction of a much larger (albeit more primitive in equipment than the “Hyuga”) Izumo helicopter destroyer also made up only three years. At the same time, its value amounted to 114 billion yen (1,2 billion dollars) - which looks quite reasonable for a ship of this size and destination.

Like a hundred years ago, mockery of the "macaques" can be costly for our country. Japan is a competent and strong opponent. And the greater the honor will be if we are able to keep the balance of forces with her on the same level.

    For landing operations just right .. The distance from Japan to the Kuril Islands is minimal, so the fleet will be covered by the Japanese Air Force. Apparently the samurai are counting on this ..

      They are not so stupid as to try to get the Kuril Islands by force. The small territory and large crowded population, with modern methods of delivering weapons of mass destruction, do not leave any chances for the success of such adventures.

        In our "beloved" and damned nineties, when you could buy anything from the eternally hungover Yeltsin, when Japan was at the peak of its power (economic), they (the Japanese) did not make any attempts to buy the Kuril Islands, unlike the Chinese who took it " controversial "territories, although they could. Therefore, the power option for solving the Kuril issue in the field of fantasy.

          What kind of nonsense?
          Japan does not need special landing and aircraft carriers to capture the Kuril Islands.
          You look at the map - they can sail to the Kuril Islands on a wooden raft.
          We can NOT stop Japan from seizing the Kuril Islands.
          Another thing is that this will be considered a declaration of war.

          Such ships are built on the basis of forecasting a military conflict, which will require the capture of port cities of the Russian Federation or China.

              It is one thing "On this night the samurai decided to cross the border by the river ..", another thing is the landing of troops with the appropriate actions of aviation and naval artillery on adjacent islands !!! Another thing is that Oleg went too far and ended his review of the Japanese Navy with provocative statements about the Kuriles and about the "macaques", but why such provocations from Oleg is another question!

The Japanese, as far as I know, have the concept of bloodless seizure of territories (the same principle by which we occupied Crimea). And at the same time, a whole program has been developed to entice the mood of the local population to their side.

        There is no secret in the classification itself. Mine-artillery ships are a thing of the past, while the terminology is preserved. Modern names have not taken root. Here destroyers grow to the size of aircraft carriers.

        The author is mistaken about the classification of Japanese "destroyers" No. The fact. that Japan is legally prohibited to have ships above the destroyer class. Although many warships of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, in fact, destroyers had long since outgrown.

If they dare to direct their Navy towards the territorial integrity of a nuclear power, then the consequences could be fatal to the fate of the Japanese nation.

In Soviet times, the Pacific Fleet was a powerful structure, now it is rapidly being reduced to nothing. Boreas per year on a teaspoon do not solve the problem.

There is a bunch of thieves involved in stuffing pockets and the same bunch of populists portraying the confrontation with the West and gaining a rating for themselves (they naturally do not forget about pockets). And military power without political power is nothing, an example of the USSR of the second half of the 80s is before our eyes.

        Plus, for example, on the 8 of the day when nothing was clear at all, and peacekeepers died in the encirclement, no one flopped TNWs either in Tbilisi or in the army’s positions.

          The aggressor country will be neither cold nor hot from this, especially since the world is not homogeneous if Japan is the aggressor (in fact, and not in the opinion of the "world community" - it is already clear which side it will be on), then the blockade will only be supported by the United States and pro-American oriented countries.

                What for??? It is possible to solve the problem by the limited use of force, repulsing the islands back or not allowing them to be captured. Why turn this into a total war? Simply put, why bring everything to the point of absurdity? Russia has enough opportunities for an adequate non-nuclear response, only the army and navy need to be developed and updated not only on the border with Ukraine, but also in our area, and even more so on the islands.

Read at your leisure the history of the Second World War, about the war in the Pacific, you will understand what they are "not fighters"!
            And yet, on military doctrine, strategic nuclear forces, tactical nuclear weapons, etc.
            Military doctrine is the theoretical modeling of strategy in a future war. Like any forecasting of the future, it is always very approximate and often does not pass the reality check. An example of this is the weather forecast. In addition, the modeling is based on the published doctrines of potential opponents. Who guarantees that these published doctrines are not misleading (including ours)? So it is not realistic to take into account all possible scenarios and work out their own recommendations for each. "Cases - they are different!" (C)
            SNF is the last chance to avoid a conflict with a nuclear power. Therefore, the use of nuclear weapons is unlikely in any situation, because it is clear to everyone that after the use of nuclear weapons there will be no winners.

                  Ku-ku. Let's look at the world realistically. SNF is, first and foremost, a weapon of US deterrence and an instrument for promoting one’s interests in foreign policy. The attack by a neighboring country, I note a non-nuclear one, against one of the constituent entities of the federation is not a reason for using it. For many reasons.
                  Firstly, this is an extremely disproportionate use of force, which will really lead to a threat to Japanese statehood (we are not going to destroy an entire state because of 4 islands), while an attempt to capture the border island does not threaten the existence of huge Russia as a separate state. If some tipsy bully pester you in the street and hit you in the face, you won’t kill him for it. And you, in fact, are proposing exactly this way to resolve conflicts.

                  Secondly, this will lead to numerous human losses from the Japanese side, including civilians. We love scolding Americans for the inhumane nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we ourselves will go the same atrocious way, right ?!

                  Thirdly, the territory of Japan is covered by a whole network of nuclear power plants, the destruction of at least one of which will lead to an ecological catastrophe worse than Chernobyl and will certainly affect large areas of the Russian Far East, as well as almost all Asian countries. Mass evacuation of civilians to safe areas in the face of imminent radioactive contamination will be required. Asian countries, which will certainly come under attack, will refuse any cooperation with Russia for many decades.

                  Fourth, Russia's authority on the world stage will be omitted below the plinth. Last friends and allies will turn their backs on us. All conceivable and inconceivable sanctions, prohibitions and restrictions will be applied to us. Harassment, threats, and a call for reprisals against Russians and Russian-speaking populations of other countries will begin around the world. Many innocent people will suffer. The image of a Russian person in the eyes of the whole world will be tarnished for many years to come. No one will remember that Japan began the conflict.

                  Fifth, the unstable and already highly dependent on the energy market of Russia after the above staggered even faster. The collapse of the ruble will intensify, prices and tariffs in the domestic market will rush up at the speed of light. The standard of living will fall even more. Most major construction projects and projects will be stopped. Reducing funding will lead to layoffs, rising unemployment, and at the same time increase the level of tension in society and the criminal situation in general. At the same time, the wealthy strata of Russian society will leave the country en masse, dragging everything that lies badly, the outflow of capital will increase. Welcome to the 90s.
                  Oh yes, I forgot to say. In the case of the use of nuclear weapons, the Americans are most likely to intervene in the conflict, who are obliged to protect Japan, and this is already a threat of the Third World War. No one will untie her because of the four islands.

                    Inability / unwillingness to read Russian backbone documents is a problem of the aggressor country.
                    Secondly, this will lead to numerous human losses from the Japanese side, including civilians.

                    Similarly.
                    Thirdly, the territory of Japan is covered by a whole network of nuclear power plants, the destruction of at least one of which will lead to an environmental disaster worse than Chernobyl

                    Similarly, the aggressor is responsible for such events.
                    Fourth, Russia's authority on the world stage will be omitted below the plinth.

                    Than? The fact of protecting the country from an enemy superior in conventional armaments on a theater?
                    Fifth, the unstable and already highly dependent on the energy market of Russia after the above staggered even faster

                    Unwillingness to respond to external threats to the authorities will be even worse:
                    1. External enemies are activated, seeing the enemy’s weakness, and we have enough of them.
                    2. Defeat will not be forgiven within the country and it will not be a people, but a group in power, from impeachment to a coup.

                      Yes. In the eyes of the world, Russia has a strong enough army to do without nuclear weapons. The world will not notice that there are not enough forces in the Kuril Islands. So, we must not chew snot and cut budgets, but develop these very "conventional weapons" while there is time to exclude the very possibility of using nuclear weapons in the future.

        Crimea all its life was the territory of Russia, for which it fought with Turkey and the Crimean Tatars. And they fought not just like that, but in order to stop the raids on Russia. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Slavs went to slave markets in Turkey and other countries of Asia Minor because of these raids. You would live quietly and peacefully, you see, the other owners of Crimea would be. But no, it’s necessary to ride on, kill the old, small prisoners, plunder and break everything, and steal domestic cattle too. So they have accumulated trouble for themselves. So the owners of the Crimea have changed. Moreover, there was no mention of Ukraine then. And the fact that Khrushchev gave Crimea to Ukraine is also the same nation. And neither when giving, nor when sharing in the 91st year, no one asked the population. And when the population had the opportunity to choose, that’s the result for today. so Crimea has nothing to do with Ukraine.

    I repeat once again, such conflicts are resolved by conventional weapons: aviation, navy, air defense, ground armored vehicles, etc. It is precisely them that should be developed in this region, without giving the Japanese a chance to doubt our defenses.

                The rejection of the 4 border islands of the Kuril ridge causes irreparable damage to the defense capabilities of the Pacific region of Russia. These islands are not important in their own right, but because they make the Sea of ​​Okhotsk the inland Russian sea. If Russia loses these islands, the American fleet will graze in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk like cows in a flood meadow, which means that the whole TAR will be under the influence of mattress carrier-based aircraft.

              Tanks will fight with destroyers and ammunition on the front line to transfer SU-30? If you encounter the Japanese on land, then ours will simply roll them out to pancake. The main tank of Japan is armed with an 105-mm L7. Although the gun is good, it’s not even capable of penetrating the T-72B into the forehead, but the super-duper of the modern Type 10 as Strongholds in Ukraine. BMP and armored personnel carriers are also not new, especially since the mechanical drives are prepared under the conditions of a spherical horse in a vacuum.

          For a successful landing, the Self-Defense Forces will have to strike at the military infrastructure of the Russian Federation in the Far East, at the Pacific Fleet ships, at the RPM of military units. Or do you think that the Russian Federation will eliminate itself from the conflict? This is not a conflict 08. and the territory of a friendly, but a foreign country, is its own.

      I suggest developing conventional weapons systems and adequately assessing the level of confrontation and the level of the country opposing you, so that all such conflicts are resolved least bloodless, without total destruction of each other. The suppression of Chinese aggression on Damansky Island in 1969, the forced peace of Georgia in 2008, are vivid examples of this. As you can see, there was no nuclear attack on Beijing and the bombing of Tbilisi.

      You in vain underestimate the PLA Navy, now they have:
      2х052D - 64 cells for heavy missiles of the FORT-M, RCC, KR, PLUR complex and the most advanced radar + BIUS.
      6X052С - 48 missiles in the drums of the FORT-M complex. 8 RCC / KR. New radar on 4 canvases and a fairly modern BIUS.
      20x054 - 32 Shtil-1, 8 RCC / KR, and Fregat-MA radars of the latest modifications (they purchase 2-3 radars on orders, so the Fregat-MA is fresher and better on new ones than on the first or medium ones).
      80x022 is an innovative catamaran missile boat (8 RCC) in stealth architecture.

      In fact, this is already precarious parity with 6 Congo / Atago (berks) and 15-16 new frigates (light destroyers) with ESSM (sparrow).

      Only in China in the 2016 year, for example, 2x052D will be commissioned, which are completing the completion or have already gone for testing. And now they are building everything 10x052D. The Japanese are not building their own Burke. And there are 100 ships of old projects, including with the S-300F, and with the Mosquitoes. And the Japotsnev reserves are quite tight.

    Why do the Japanese call destroyers these large aircraft carriers with a continuous flight deck, being careful not to call a spade a spade?

    There is no secret in the classification itself. Mine-artillery ships are a thing of the past, while the terminology is preserved. Modern names have not taken root. Here destroyers grow to the size of aircraft carriers.

    Well, then the term "destroyer", ie. destroyer is used only with us. Americans and Europeans use the term destroyer, i.e. destroyer. The Japanese call it gatagoeikan, which means I don't know, can anyone explain ... Therefore, there is no link to mines and artillery.

      Goei-kan (護衛艦) consists of 護衛 (Goei) - which literally can be translated as a guard or a convoy, historically this was the name for the guard accompanying a military leader on the battlefield, and 艦 (kan) - a warship.型 (gata) is "type, class", that is, い ず も 型 - Izumo's class.

      Thus, we see that Izumo is not a destroyer at all, but a patrol ship. The word "destroyer", 駆 逐 艦 (Kuchiku-kan), as the Japanese destroyers were called in the Imperial Navy, is not used. By the way, almost all surface ships with missile weapons in the JMSDF are called Goei-kan, it's like with Soviet aircraft carriers, which are aircraft-carrying cruisers, no matter what the Turks ask questions, only here it applies to almost the entire fleet.

The Japanese are direct vassals of America. and the fact that for a long time of coexistence they did not adopt some of the owner's habits, in particular, lies and hypocrisy winked And did we feel the deck of the Izumo and are sure that it is not capable of receiving the F-35?
    Ours managed to sneak weapons under the Kuznetsov's deck and call it a cruiser. Although this is a classic aircraft carrier, and the Japanese call a classic aircraft carrier (albeit with reservations in terms of size and layout) a destroyer without any weapons other than aviation! And the point here is not in failures in classification, but in what in politics is called understatement, and in the common people a lie.
    The Kuril Islands are located at such a distance from Japan that it is much easier and more efficient to use ground aviation than to drive expensive toys near your own shore.
    Here, in my opinion, the point is different. No one is going to attack Japan for the simple reason that there is nothing to take there, but on the quiet you can snatch something in a world mess. Therefore, there is such an incredible transformation of the fleet, designed exclusively for defense. That is why aircraft carriers are called destroyers. I will never believe that the Spanish "Prince of Asturias" at 17000 with a full displacement tail can carry aircraft, but the Izumo with its 27000 thousand tons cannot!
    He knows that the Japanese are not saying anything .... But they are lying to the common people hi

      Well, maybe Oleg Kaptsov can write normal articles!

      Nooooo! Nooooo! I do not believe ! It was not Oleg who wrote SUCH about carrying ships! It was his enemy who led him with his pen! Here you can feel the experienced, enemy hand. He could not! Well, read the archive of his article on this topic and skirmish in the comments to them! That's it!

      Do you like stamps? I've been to Japan and China, at the expense of the false and hypocritical, so this is more to the last. My personal opinion is of course.

      Let's think logically. If the Bell V-22 Osprey with a dry weight of 15 tons can be based on the Izumo deck, then the F-35B with a dry weight of 14,5 tons. definitely can, right?

      Nobody is going to attack Japan for the simple reason.

      There are controversial islands that the Japanese consider their own, do they need to be protected?

        There must be something about the heat resistance of the deck, because the jet stream can damage it severely if it is not made from the proper materials, but from what yapps made it, how do you know? hi

        But I'm not sure about that ... The Japanese have too "good" teachers - USA wink

        And are you too good of a opinion about the country in whose territory the military bases of a foreign state are located? In terms of independence, for me personally, Japan is on a par with the Baltic states, Poland, and today's Ukraine ...
        This is my personal opinion hi

    There was a lot of debate about the use of nuclear weapons in a hypothetical conflict over the Kuril Islands. In my understanding, everything is much simpler. The main thing is not the number of nuclear weapons, but the determination to use it. I think Japan was informed long ago through the diplomatic channels "If suddenly ... then ..." Believe me, no stoned gopnik will get into a fight with a person who has a "barrel" and is ready to use it without hesitation, and on the contrary there is a great temptation to rob a lady with a "pistol" "in your purse. I apologize for the courtyard allegory, but that is more accessible to many.

    nonsense. I did not expect from this author, and the article does not stand out among the rest about Izumo.

    blah blah blah they called the colossus of the destroyer - first of all it’s our destroyer and in the west it’s a long time destroyer - destroyer, this is your own class

    blah blah blah named Kaga as a direct WWII carrier - names in all fleets of the world passed from old to new (Izumo is generally a province)

    blah blah blah attack the Kuril Islands - are you laughing? to a nuclear power? wring out the smokers? using a helicopter carrier? Yes, there will be few of all 11 US aircraft carriers, because it comes around with snow all over the planet.

    What exactly needs to be adopted by the USC from the Japanese is the swift construction of warships!
    After all, Russia will not order Kaga analogues from Japan? "Frankish Mistalschina" - a good lesson drinks

    Well already applied a couple of times and they are well aware of the consequences. This will cool any hot samurai heads.

    Yes - used

    And yes, I agree - a full-blown conflict with Russia or China entails the risk of a nuclear strike on the Japanese aggressors

    But on the other hand, a limited conflict option is quite possible — such as with Georgia or Ukraine and the Crimea — such as a blitzkrieg military operation — and it’s too late to threaten nuclear weapons — and no one can decide

    That is, the danger from the samurai is real - and you need to "keep your ears open"
    And to convince them that despite the temporary weakness of the Russian fleet - the encroachment on the Kuril Islands will cause a full-scale war - so that they don’t even think

    And years through 10-15 everything! China there will be problem No. 1 for Yap and Amers, and they will not be at all up to us
