Previously, they were not worse. My father, after Khrushchev's reduction of the Air Force, flew for several years (1960-1963) in the Polar Aviation. He furrowed the entire Arctic from about. Victoria to the Bering Strait and from Rudolf Island (FFI) to Amderma, Dikson, Mirny, etc. Ust-Kara, Cape Kamenny, Tiksi, Tareya, Nagurskaya ... Familiar names from childhood. Life was in full swing then! Ice exploration, oil and gas exploration, provision of geological prospecting and scientific stations ("SP" and "Sever"), installation of DAMS on ice (drifting automatic weather stations), escorting convoys, aerial photography, ambulance and postal flights, gathering production of professional hunters (furs) and fishermen, etc. There were a lot of planes and each one sometimes performed up to 6 - 8 s / a per day! Well, the Air Force regiments, of course, were "as many as needed" ... That was the time! The time of heroes and romantics. The time of the economic, scientific and military might of the USSR. Whatever one may say, but for now we are far from those achievements. But the job must be done!

You yourself, almost, answered your question in the first part of your post.

[Zomanus]

The complex will be made on the basis of the principle "entered at the beginning of the service, came out only on demobilization."
But the remote control in the photo is somehow ... outdated.

Until now, no one has built such projects at such a high latitude.

Oh, not the first time for us, we are used to it. In fact, a serious application for priorities in the northern hemisphere. I think they started to master on time.

[A1L9E4K9S]

In the North, the future of Russia needs to be settled on a capital basis, which would not work out by the saying; We wanted the best, but it turned out as always.

[AdekvatNICK]

And do air defense command posts underground?

It’s nice to read that the sky of the north is being closed, otherwise at the time of EBN all the air defense was stolen by come in and take whatever you want.

[yan 2015]

Well now, not a single polar bird .. without the knowledge of the aerospace forces, it will not be able to fly through our northern latitudes.

[78bor1973]

Yes it is fucking where! Svalbard even south!

[Mountain shooter]

Wow, far climbed. Train polar bears and the Air Force mattress at the same time. The courage and skill of our soldiers. Harsh places.

[BOB044]

So our Arctic was closed from those who do not live in peace. Russia is becoming strong. Keep it up.

[ivan bogomolov]

Trin ... dec, there is nothing alive at all, they give hammers to our military))))

[AdekvatNICK]

Of the mammals, there is a polar bear and less often a polar fox. In the waters washing the islands, there are seals, sea hares, harp seals, walruses, narwhals and belugas. The most numerous (26 species) are birds: luricas, chistiks, guillemots, common polka dots, white gull, burgomaster, etc., which form the so-called bird markets in summer.

There is "or what", and the S-300 is not there. Did I make it clear?

[Mihalich17]

On the Gulf of Ob you need to build a base! This is the very middle of Russia, after all!
At the same time, railway lines and roads to Salekhard from the central part of Russia just need to be built!
Then we will be covered from all sides!
... In order not to have (God forbid!), Alien submarines in the Gulf of Ob "be surprised" ...)))

[AdekvatNICK]

but what about autocratic volition))))) template break however.

[31rus]

That's great, we will close the "holes" island by island, we need automatic radar stations with a large resource, deployed, set up and 5-7 years, only THAT, from Finland to Alaska

[roskot]

That's right, there’s nothing to go to the zoo for polar bears. We have our own trainers.

[AdekvatNICK]

population, zero people (click)

I hope these will not serve there

Those who commit non-violent crimes of small and medium gravity will be invited to join the army as an alternative to criminal punishment, Izvestia writes.

The corresponding draft law on amendments to the Criminal Code of Russia and the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service” is being prepared by a member of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building Alexey Didenko (LDPR).

The document says that this alternative can be offered to men aged 18 to 45 years, who committed the crime for the first time.

[mike_z]

I spoke about this in the next topic. But if they do accept ... this deputy is the first to be sent there. Completion of the complex - and subordinate to it "novice criminals". Yes, more, more!

"Currently, the personnel of these units are deployed in a temporary military camp. ... It is expected that the construction of military infrastructure on the island of Alexandra Land will be completed in 2016."

It was the same on Kotelny Island. The son and his comrades lived for 4 months in an Arctic tent. It is tolerable, of course, but it is advisable to finish building complexes of the "North Clover" type before the guys move in, not after. Here too we will have to endure "hardships and hardships" until 2016, i.e. all winter! Let's wish them resilience.
By the way, living conditions, living quarters, a galley, etc. are currently on the island of Kotelny. great. The son praises very much, and he has been there for more than 5 months.

Surely this photo was chosen by chance, as often happens here. Just "illustration in the theme".

[Wolka]

here it is the Arctic air defense umbrella in all its glory ...

[Knight Rider]

Over time, there will be a large military base, including an airfield, radar, anti-aircraft missile artillery division, and the Su-34 duty unit

Obsolete or not, but about 15 years ago, for such a photo there could be major troubles.
