Business Insider: US uses 80's spy data on Russian aviation

72
The publication Business Insider has published material that the US military is still using spy data from Adolf Tolkachev, who headed the research laboratory in the USSR in the 1980-s and worked in the field of radar.

Business Insider: US uses 80's spy data on Russian aviation


“Most of what Tolkachev conveyed is still in use, and so far it is legally classified. Although this is a matter of thirty years ago, it is likely that some of these things are still considered to be quite valuable information, ”quotes David Hoffman, the author of a book about the Billion-Dollar Spy, RIA "News".

The results of Tolkachev's espionage activities concern all Russian fighters created in the 1980-s and the beginning of the 1990-s. The publication notes that it was during this period that the development of the most modern aircraft began.

According to Business Insider, this information can help American pilots in the event of a conflict with Russian pilots in Syria.

Undoubtedly, the parents were hitlerophiles. fellow But seriously, how can you trust some Business Insider, the very name of which kakbe hints at the remoteness from the military theme. Let the insider information from currency exchanges spread. Until the early 2000s, there were no special secrets for our "Western partners" in the Russian military-industrial complex.

        They shot the reptile.
        Employees of the KGB of the USSR managed to get on the trail of Tolkachev absolutely by accident. In 1985, his curator, Edward Lee Howard, was fired from the CIA for property theft and drug addiction. An embittered Howard ran over to the side of the USSR and gave the KGB a lot of top secret information, including the name of Adolf Tolkachev. On June 9, 1985, the latter was arrested, and on June 13 his liaison officer Paul Stroumbach was arrested. During the investigation, Tolkachev confessed everything and begged the Soviet leadership not to impose a death sentence on him. The Supreme Court of the USSR examined the Tolkachev case in 1986 and found him guilty of an offense under article 64, part “a” of the RSFSR Criminal Code, and sentenced him to capital punishment - the death penalty by shooting. On September 24, 1986, the sentence was carried out.

      This is no longer scary: since then, our aviation radars have already begun to see farther than the American ones, and air-to-air missiles have become more accurate and longer-range.
      Ground-based early warning radar systems work in a network with VKS no worse than Amer, and they have more opportunities in the number of targets followed. In addition, centimeter radars of the battlefield like Farah and Sobolyatnik have become lighter and more mobile than Amer.
      And this is only for open sources and for products accepted for service.

Plus they have more AWACS than ours, and their use makes their own aircraft radar not so important. Our hobby is over-maneuverability and close combat.

Our pilots immediately begin to fly unprofessionally a few feet from the democratic pepelats and irradiate with thousands of radars, taking them for escort. Here is the answer why in Soviet times the Americans didn’t fly on Mondays - this is really scary.

Then the element base of radio engineering in aviation did not allow to go beyond detection ... tracking only one target and launching a rocket at it. At the border of the 90s, only concepts were developed ... and from them to the real implementation of the finished product is very, very far! Now the radar-air ... these are sights with phased array ... The same is in electronic warfare systems!

        Of course, this is all true, but we must not forget about the period of the 90s. Then the Americans (and not only them) could almost legally buy ready-made samples of advanced technology and documentation. And all this lasted until the beginning of the zero (this is at best). So the Americans, in truth, can have quite relevant information. We hope for the best, but prepare for trouble smile
