US Navy Officer: Russian Navy Shows Unique Potential

109
According to the specialist on national security, the US Navy officer Garrett Campbell, the actions of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in Syria have refuted the estimates of Western analysts who underestimate their capabilities.



In particular, the aviation A group of the Russian Aerospace Forces is effectively attacking the positions of militants of armed groups that oppose the Syrian government forces, he notes.

"Almost none of our NATO allies can match what Russia has been doing in the sky so far," quotes the words of the American military RIA "News".

Some Western experts gave low ratings to the potential of the naval fleet Russia, however, ships of the Caspian Navy successfully hit targets at a distance of more than 900 miles with the help of cruise missiles, Campbell emphasizes. At the same time, according to him, similar surface ships of the US Navy can not do anything like this.

“With small, inexpensive, technological, simple and easy-to-manufacture ships, the Russian fleet demonstrates unique potential and underlines the results of modernization efforts,” Campbell said.

Many analysts said that the Russian Federation is weak militarily, but in Syria, Moscow has shown that "it has the ability and potential (...) to attract conventional weapons to achieve limited political goals," so it’s dangerous for NATO to underestimate the Russian army, NATO concludes.

                And as far as we are concerned, one does not have to laugh at us. Yes, they didn’t give us weapons, but we sharpened shovels and shoulder blades very well, and waved crowbars quite well, but to bite off your ear or throat is so simple. And they ate dogs, and rotten cabbage / potatoes, meat 54 years of harvest. Why do you think we were so angry?

        ships of the Caspian Navy successfully hit targets over 900 km with cruise missiles, Campbell emphasizes. Moreover, according to him, similar surface ships of the U.S. Navy can not do anything like this.

        U.S. Navy does not need gatekeepers and MRK

        They have 64 full-fledged destroyers, each of which carries more KR than the entire Caspian flotilla. Apart from the other features that 10-thousand has ton warships - compared to 700 ton shells of the Caspian flotilla

            I have noticed more than once that our destroyers (albeit Soviet-built) were completely disregarded, recalling Arly Berks and Zamvolty. Yes, while we are not building Leaders and Squalls (but we need to scratch ourselves and build a lot of them), but there are still modernization of the old fleet of destroyers and their rearmament. At the same time, it would be quite nice to equip them with Caliber. The same applies to the Atlant series cruisers.

              I'm wildly sorry. But are you talking about Project 956 destroyers? So to begin with, look at their presence in the ranks and the technical condition ... "Atlantes" are alive only 3. The age of all the above-mentioned ships is almost 30 years old. The "Caliber" missile is good, cruise and subsonic. And our existing destroyers and cruisers are armed with supersonic missile systems, which are fundamentally different from the "caliber". Yes, and "shove" a new missile system onto a ship, where every cubic centimeter is already planned out is not easy. Overhaul with modernization will be required, which in terms of cost will probably be comparable to the construction of a new MRC. So let's be careful with slogans like "We stuff" calibers "anywhere and more!" soldier

                But am I not talking about that? OUR Fleet is getting old! The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet Moscow will soon hit 40. And so I will focus on the topic of building the ships of the Leader and Flurry project.

                Say everything correctly. But let's look at this not from the point of pragmatism, but from the point of today's realities. There are not so many carriers of the Kyrgyz Republic Caliber today, and the adversary has equipped many of his ships and submarines with harpoons.
                And the second point. There was raised the theme of the construction of the first Russian aircraft carrier (not an aircraft carrier cruiser, namely an aircraft carrier) ... and how to protect it then? Security, support and so on ...

                I can’t stand slogans in principle. And as for "stuffing Calibers anywhere," so sorry, the same Americans put their Tomahawks thicker and more. Or do you think that Caliber-NK is enough to base Caliber-NK only in the Caspian and the Russian Sea?

          I completely agree. Their potential allows much more than I and you would like. In terms of the fleet, we will not be able to catch them in the next 10 years. And if we add the fleet of that de Japan, the second most powerful in the world, then we don’t even have anything to measure. Fortunately, there is nuclear potential.

                    We are building something, but small and mostly submarines and small ships of the coastal zone. And we should already start updating the fleet of ships of the first rank, such as TARKs, ARKs, destroyers. But we must understand that the construction of such ships is very expensive pleasure. And I suppose that until Leaders and Squalls go into series (and in good), it’s too early to talk about an aircraft carrier. It makes no sense to build an aircraft carrier and not have support and defense ships for it. hi

                      And why do we all think in terms of parity in similar weapons to the enemy? If submarines are being built, then there are some tactical and strategic plans for their use. So they will carry not only torpedoes and ballistic missiles on board, but also cruise missiles. We do not know the whole plan of the Supreme and the General Staff. We can judge what is visible on the surface. And on the surface you can see that they will build defense ships. Not a very large radius of action. Well, if you look from the other side? If all the oceanic warships fight somewhere out there .. who will remain to defend their homeland?
                      NF is not as scary as it seems, for the simple reason that this is the lot of the weak. Anyone who does not know how to fight with fists will always try to get a gun. because with a gun he is stronger. The use of nuclear weapons is the last argument. After this argument, the winners will not be happy with their victory.
                      So, we are strengthening the defense of our country. And we will build ships of influence later. It is also necessary to gain experience of sinking somewhere. And where to get it, as in the construction of smaller ships?

I have no doubt that he himself believes in this. Do not deprive housewives of their dreams. For some reason, no one says that 26 Caliber is less than a third of a salvo of axes from one, say, the odious Donald Cook. The demonstration, of course, was successful both in its goals, both literally and figuratively, and the eventual adversary restrainedly drew conclusions. All with their own. The Pentagon, of course, has no shock and awe, panic and wave of suicides.

Well, the third question is whether the vessels already have a long service life, the moment of replacement will come, and if they are not used to fighting on them, but practice does not work for them to build improved analogues (example f35), then after a couple of decades they will have to kayak to swim.

              Unfortunately, Oleg, if an American reasonably says that everything must be taken into account when assessing his enemy, then for some this is a reason to completely disregard the real assessment of the threat to us from the US Navy. There is no special praise from "national security specialist, US Navy officer Garrett Campbell", there is only a statement, both in the assessment of the enemy's threat (which the Yankees, no doubt, will take into account), and in the fact that they really do not have such small rocket ships that they simply do not need. Even if we were praised by the Anglo-Saxon, it would be useful to remember the words of August Bebel (as well as many close world quotes), - "If the enemy praises you - think ...". The article is just information, from which, perhaps, the most adequate conclusion is that you must always take your enemy seriously, which was announced by the US Navy officer. Still, our jingoistic patriots somehow figured it out for themselves.

          - cheapness and mass production - for the cost of this destroyer, you can build an MRC fleet that will carry more missiles
          - the possibility of quick production, including if necessary in a threatening period, but you can’t build a destroyer right away
          - decentralization of these same launchers, because the destroyer can be covered with one, two or three missiles, and dispersed 10-15 MRCs are very difficult to hit at the same time

        And we have brakes with the construction of the fleet. New items are encouraging, but they either:

        1. Small. It's certainly great that 4 rocket boats have shot almost all of their ammunition, but God only knows how long it will take to replenish it, and is there a missile in storage so that you can "shmaln" at least a couple of times :-(

    I agree, dizziness from success.

    Until now, we have been dancing on our heads because rockets flew laughing

    If you think about it, then this whole circus (verbiage addressed to us) is the usual job of knocking out military production corporations of money from the government. In our country, they attach this value almost as a victory at Stalingrad - they say the fleet is not only still alive, but also fighting). I will not argue, rockets take off, and good rockets are thought.

    However, talking about the fleet as a combat unit is not necessary yet. If someone thinks otherwise - start asking yourself the simplest children's questions - and when was the last time the fleet exercises were held with the separation of the blue and some diamonds, or some other?
    With the unforgettable Leonid Ilyich, or immediately after his departure under Andropov, Ocean 83.

    Mostly in the 70s.

    Now, from the force, the ship will go out to sea, the target will be launched across the course, it will bring it down. This is all combat training.

    And where is the independent search for rival squadrons? Where is the participation of minesweepers in the setting of minefields? The curtains of submarines, mutual deck strikes on the one hand, and strategic aviation on the other, as well as the massive use of missile strikes by ship groupings, how and where drones are used ???
    Already in the course of such exercises at least approximate data will begin to appear - how much an average cruiser is able to recapture missiles independently, in a group, in a squadron, under the cover of deck aircraft, etc.

    The Japanese fleet conducted exercises 2 times a year for the Japanese before WWII. We need at least once every 2 years, because the last time such teachings were more than 30 years ago and now we can’t know what the fleet and ships in particular are capable of, and as you know, individual ships are not capable of much.
    Yes, rockets are still flying.

    Their Kyrgyz Republic also does not fly 500 km, and judging by the map it can be calculated that they can cover the western and central parts of Russia, the Volga region, and the east from Yakutia and Buryatia from the territorial waters of the EU allies.
    We showed the world that we can answer - in my opinion, showed early, but apparently there were some reasons unknown to us. So far, in the case of an instant non-nuclear strike, I have little idea of ​​how we can protect thousands of objects from thousands of missile defense systems, although they are quite vulnerable and go astray. So far, only SNF and SNA remain - it is necessary to modernize delivery systems and be sure to launch the BZHRK sad

    S. sali in his pants only with a hint of discontent of the States with their actions.
    Just a little States expressed concern, we immediately rushed to cut rockets and planes.
    And now, regardless of feelings and
    The concerns of the States we do what we need.

    If in 2008 we drove with disgrace the Georgians prepared according to NATO standards, then what can I say now !!!!!!!!! And don’t even think about repeating the mistakes of the French, Poles, Swedes, Germans, but who weren’t there - 2.5 m.2 land was enough for everyone.


    Whoever comes to us will become a dandelion. And I thought everything in childhood - where did so many dandelions come from?

    Yes, they all know and understand, otherwise they would have bombed us for a long time, not in 2008, so in 2014 for sure. Just now, for some reason, they are pretending to be fools, but why let our special services figure it out. I do not believe that they didn’t know anything, and now there are only surprises. They just conceive some kind of muck, most likely informational, and all these surprised exclamations are not for us, but for the western electorate.

    Why keep AUG in the Baltic? But MRK please. And if RTOs are capable of launching SLCMs, then for each RTOs you can’t put a destroyer with the auspices on them)))
    And in Lake Onega, Ladoga it will be convenient for them to dabble.
    How beautiful the RTOs will keep Europe and the Middle East in their sight, I am cruising between Novorossiysk and Sevastopol.

    "Many analysts said that the Russian Federation is militarily weak" - in fact, the Russian army is in second place after the United States (Western analysts write this), how can it be weak? It is weak only in comparison with the USA.

    "Almost none of our NATO allies can match what Russia has done in the sky so far."

    The key word "almost" is a rude and completely undeserved flattery to the entire Caudla named NATO, including, of course, the United States.

    About the way - no questions. The question is just under the conditions. Why do we still have such conditions that we cannot arrange for the construction of ships of the sea-ocean zone to flow? Which are not only capable of carrying KR, but also have developed anti-aircraft defense, air defense. Are we RUSSIA or Vietnam? RTOs - this is without fish ... I do not argue - beautifully circumvented the INF. All is correct. Sailors - well done. Ships too. They showed teeth. Disguise in the Volga Delta, again, in case of a big mess. But gentlemen, not only this must be dealt with? Or will we just sit in the Volga delta for reeds and proudly cry in the Caspian, where in fact there is nobody besides us? The next step is needed. 22350 - on 10-15 pieces for all fleets, 885 - on 15 on the Northern Fleet and Pacific Fleet. So I would be completely satisfied.


    And why not sit in the Volga delta for the reeds? With a fishing rod. Extra pieces of iron - minus s \ pl and pensions, right? Reasonable self-sufficiency should be, I think. But the constant messages about launching diesel submarines - very interesting. This is a serious nightmare for NATO: we are not going to attack, but even one such submarine is a very serious low-noise argument. And long-range ships ... There must be, of course, but to build squadrons is unnecessary. Everyone needs to know - The flag will appear quickly, if that.

    No one is going to expose the Caspian flotilla, against the sixth fleet of the United States or any other. A major said about their fleet, the ships are too skewed towards anti-aircraft missiles, missiles against nuclear submarines and coastal targets, yes there are harpoons on the first destroyers, but now they are not put on new ones. Our ships, on the contrary, focus on PCR. Meet one of their destroyer and our ship at a range of pcr onyx ameru cap. If one pcr breaks through, and she breaks through. Aegis is not a panacea, she was created for the pro. I don’t know if they have a separate radar for low-flying. Yes, they have an armada of almost 90 ships with Aegis, but do not bow to the amers, it’s better to see what our craftsmen invented patent number 2539265. An additional 22350 onyx or caliber missiles can be installed on project 11356, 8, and this is a completely different ship.
