Overview of the Air Force of Turkey. Step back

Better a brave enemy
than a prostitute friend (Turkish saying)

The most numerous and aggressive air forces in the region. Downed Russian bomber and 1 thousand. 306 violations of the airspace of Greece for the eight months of this year.

The eternal confrontation between the Turks and the Greeks does not negate the fact that both are members of the North Atlantic Alliance. Turkey is one of the oldest members of the NATO bloc (older than Germany and Spain), actively supporting any directives and programs of the Alliance. The Turks are given priority in acquiring the latest weapons. The Americans put them in line for the purchase of F-35 fighters, armed the Turks drones, hanging sighting containers and planning bombs JSOW.

The stronghold of the US Air Force in the region is located in Turkey - the legendary airbase Injirlik with a storage facility for nuclear weapons.

What are the air forces of Turkey?

Record 9-hour combat missions of Turkish F-16 during the NATO operation against Yugoslavia. Night strikes on Iraq using high-precision Mavrick and Israeli Popeye missiles. Flight operations under the Baltic Air Police (2006) program. And now - an incident with the Russian Su-24.

Turkish pilots have serious training and serious intentions.

Boeing-737 “Peace Eagle” (in the line - 3, ordered - 1).

Just a dove of peace. Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft (AWACS), eyes and ears aviation groupings. Created on the basis of the passenger Boeing. In the crest above the fuselage is a MESA radar with an active AFAR capable of controlling airspace within a radius of 600 km, including detect a target like “fighter” at a distance of 370 km, and a ship the size of a frigate - up to 240 km. The radio interception equipment on board allows detecting enemy radar radiation at a range of 850 km. “Peaceful Eagle” is capable of simultaneously tracking up to 180 targets, directing 24 fighters at them.

There is an in-flight refueling system.

Max. take-off weight - 77 tons. Crew - two pilots and up to 8 operators. Continuous patrol time - up to 15 hours in the air.

KC-135R-CRAG “Stratotanker” (7 units)

Flying tanker on the basis of the passenger “Boeing-707”. Max. fuel capacity - 92 tons with take-off weight of 146 tons. Refueling is performed using a controlled telescopic rod. The use of a rigid rod allows you to double the pressure and performance of the system (compared with the domestic scheme “hose-cone”), reducing the refueling time and facilitating its process. The pilot is left to follow the tanker, the operator on board the Stratotanker will do the rest.

F-16C and F-16D “Fighting Falken” (175 and 57 units of each modification)

F-16 Multifunction Fighter Bomber, licensed by Turkish Aerospace Industries. Turkey has the third largest fleet The Falkans, after the USA and Israel. To date, all aircraft have been upgraded to the “Block 50+” level, having received all-weather sighting equipment, helmet-mounted sights and conformal fuel tanks. In addition to conventional laser and GPS-guided bombs, Turkish F-16s are capable of carrying and deploying heavy planning bombs AGM-154 JSOW, medium-to-long-range air-to-air missiles AIM-120C-7, as well as SOM anti-ship missiles stealth technology.

The two-seater F-16D, in addition to solving fighter and strike missions, can be used as a training aircraft.

“Terminator 2020” (47 units)

Forward to the past or back to the future. Fighter-bomber "Phantom", brought by Israeli experts to the modern level. From the old F-4E remained only the name and fuselage, as well as the characteristic, upward curved parts of the wing. Replaced all hydraulics and 20 km wiring. Installed modern navigation, communications and data exchange. Instead of arrow pointers in the cockpit - multifunctional displays. To solve percussion tasks at any time of day, the Turkish “Terminator” is equipped with an Israeli Elta EL / M-2032 radar and a suspended lightning container with IR cameras, laser range finders and target tracking sensors. For electronic suppression of anti-aircraft missile heads, the Elta EL / L-8222 active jamming system was incorporated into the avionics.

Taking into account the hurricane thrust and with the armament operator in the crew, the 20-ton “Terminator”, when operating on a regional theater of operations, will compete with any modern tactical bombers (F-15E, Su-34, etc.)

With its outdated aerodynamic design, the Phantom is pointless to get involved in close combat with the 4 generation fighter jets. But, with modern avionics and air-to-air missiles, the F-4E Terminator 2020 still poses a threat at great distances.

Other

For the “advanced” training of pilots in the Turkish Air Force, there are 23 supersonic training aircraft F-5F / E “Tiger” and 67 T-38 “Talon”. According to its characteristics and purpose correspond to domestic Yak-130. If necessary, all of them (first of all - the Tiger multipurpose fighter with combat aircraft avionics) can be involved in solving shock tasks during daylight hours.

Two air command posts and a transponder on the basis of Gulfstream passenger business jets.

Specialized jammer (EW aircraft) based on the military transport CASA CN-235.

80 military transport sides (Hercules, C-160, CASA, Airbus A400 Atlas).

Unmanned aircraft:

4 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft RQ-1 “Predator” (leased from the US). UAV take-off weight of about one ton. The duration of the patrol 24 hours.

10 Israeli IAI Heron.

It also reported on the presence in the Air Force of a certain number (within a couple dozen) of UAVs made in Turkey (“Anka”, “Bayraktar”) with a max. take-off weight 650 - 1600 kg.

In connection with the refusal of the United States to transfer drums drones (MQ-9 “Reaper”), the Turkish military-industrial complex is developing its own strike drone based on the large TAI Anka.

Space grouping

Species reconnaissance satellite “Göktürk-2”, launched from the Chinese space center in December 2012. The satellite is in low earth orbit at an altitude of 680 km. Max. The resolution of images of the Earth’s surface is 2 meters.

By now, a second similar satellite is being prepared for launch. The launch of the third (“Göktürk-1”), whose equipment would allow to conduct reconnaissance with the 0,8 resolution of the meter, was temporarily postponed due to delays in the delivery of imported equipment.

In 2013, the Turkish company Roketsan started the creation of its own space rocket center. In 2015, Rockettsan cooperation with the State Space Agency of Ukraine was announced with the goal of acquiring technologies for creating a rocket and space complex in Turkey.

Results

Almost 300 combat aircraft with competent support on all informational and technical issues (air bases, AWACS, reconnaissance, air tankers). But, despite its apparent multiplicity and a number of models of modern weapons, the Turkish Air Force grouping remains a secondary formation with limited capabilities. High society trash. Scraps from the American and Israeli tables.

First, the Turks did not have enough money to purchase full-fledged fighters to gain air supremacy - the F-15 level. Attempts to conduct an air war with the forces of some Sokolov are doomed: the small F-16 will not stand the bout with the professionals. Despite the noticeable “from block to block” progress in aerodynamics, the single-killer fighter is still poorly controlled at high angles of attack. And its radar is too primitive and weak for rivalry with the “Irbis” of the domestic “Drying”.

The purpose of the F-16 as a fighter is to take a crap from around the corner and shoot at unarmed / single targets in obviously favorable conditions (the presence of an AWACS - in the absence of it from the enemy).

At the same time, it is worthwhile to give him his due - as a “drummer,” he is magnificent. In general, a good light class fighter-bomber, losing a fair amount of its potential in the absence of nearby “older brothers” (F-15 and “Raptor”).

Technique of the future? About heavy percussion drone not talking even in the long term.

Finally, the presence in service 40-year “Phantoms”. And let their aiming devices be brought up to the level of modern aircraft, often surpassing the latter. The mere fact of having such a “retro” does not do credit to a country claiming its far-reaching ambitions.

At the same time, it is impossible not to note the continuous process of improving the Ottoman Air Force. Acquisition weapons and avionics from leading manufacturers. Create your own high-class samples of high-precision ammunition. It is reported that at the beginning of the next decade, “Phantoms” will be replaced by the newest F-35. Turkey will have its own launch site and a light-class launch vehicle for launching satellites into low near-earth orbits.

Finally, the long-standing membership in the NATO bloc, giving Ankara certain military-political guarantees.

Tr-rr. Fly!

[Reptiloid]

Thank you very much for the story and the photo. It somehow happened that different countries took part in strengthening the Turkish army. Turkey received such support.
And she began to think about the outcome of World War 1, as it is written in another article.

[Canep]

Yes, the Turkish Air Force has good ones even better than Kazakhstan. True, Russia has only Su-27 more than all Turkish air forces of all aircraft capable of flying.

[Santa Fe]

Quote: Canep

True, Russia has only Su-27 more than all Turkish air forces of all aircraft capable of flying.

The quantitative advantage of the Russian Aerospace Forces is obvious.

On a local scale, variations are possible. In the case of the use of the Turkish Air Force in a conflict similar to the operation of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria, the effectiveness of a similar Turkish group would be higher (how high can be the efficiency of aircraft in a guerrilla warfare, where 99% of bombs are thrown into the sand, printing reports on the thousands of terrorist headquarters destroyed)

When performing strike missions, the Turkish Phantom 2020 would be more effective than the Su-24 squadron with bunches of free-fall bombs. The Russian military-industrial complex was not able to create its own analogue of Lightning (and even more so SNIPER or LANTIRN). And without them to look for point targets in the folds of the relief, from a great height and at supersonic sound - it is clear that it is impossible to see anything "by eye". As well as to effectively use high-precision ammunition, especially with laser or TV guidance.

Litening

And the little things. The Turks have a more efficient refueling system. AWACS with active phased array from "Northrop-Grumman" (AFAR has a higher resolution, better protected from interference, modules can work independently), this is still only promised in our A-100 "Premier". Planning high-precision bombs JSOW, new-generation anti-ship aviation ammunition, a large self-developed reconnaissance drone (already there - anka, 1,6 tons). In the future - the F-35, which will be partly assembled by themselves. Not so simple

[EvilLion]

Didn’t you write that getting hit on the target from the 50's is not even a problem with cast irons. Even the MiG-27 surpasses the F-16 in itself as a percussion machine, and the Block 50 / 52 is essentially a bucket of the beginning of the 90's.

The container, of course, is cool, but there is one small BUT. On an area of ​​tens of square kilometers, something can be detected only by chance, or in the presence of radio-contrast targets that the electronics itself can mark. In fact, the pilot on the monitor screen, which 15 years ago we were standing on the tables, sees no more than can be seen through a thin tube. For some reason, this factor is constantly forgotten. => A simple conclusion, if the target is not some tank with a huge RCS and a hot engine, or some other easily identifiable object, then the search and illumination of the target fall on the shoulders of the ground and the UAV.

that getting hit on the target from the 50's, even with iron pots is not a problem

First you need to find out where to get. Yes, and just navigate the area at night
And analog computers in 1940 were able to calculate ballistics. Only this did not add much to the accuracy of the bombing.

so it’s not so simple

Turkish Navy, probably?
The Navy development and modernization program, designed until 2017, provides for the following activities: the implementation of the MILGEM project, within the framework of which it is planned to build six diesel-electric submarines of the U-214 type; completion of the construction program for 16 Tuzla anti-submarine missile systems; the construction of two tank landing ships of the LST project (Landing Ship Tank) and the purchase of helicopters for units of the Bokhr. In addition, it is planned to modernize surface ships, submarines and boats for various purposes, as well as increase the fleet of marine patrol and anti-submarine aircraft. Implementation of the plan will allow the Navy to have 165 warships and boats (submarines - 14, frigates - 16, corvettes - 14, minesweepers - 23, landing ships - 38, missile boats - 27, patrol boats - 33), 16 BPA and 38 helicopters. To solve these problems, the potential capabilities of Turkish shipyards with the use of licenses or on the basis of their own developments should be maximized. At the same time, serious financial problems may complicate the implementation of such a large-scale program of updating and strengthening the Turkish Navy.

On "supersonic" bombers break through the enemy air defense zone, and they bomb just on "subsonic". Apparently mister Kaptsoff sincerely considers himself an "expert on all issues", a kind of "Swiss, a reaper and a gamer", but as can be seen from his opuses (articles, comments), directly soaked with ardent analizingus of everything Western and pouring slops of everything Russian, he is mediocre, and the "propagandist" of him is inferior, he "exposes" too frankly, and lying ideas about "Invincible" just do not add confidence. It would be better if he continued to write his books, fantasy is now in vogue.

Oleg, of course, is not an expert like Bongo, Falcon and Opus in the Air Force, that's a fact. Much, in his article "sucked from the finger", but it is here - you are wrong.
By the effectiveness of the Turkish Air Force against ISIS (instead of the Russian Aerospace Forces). Firstly, 34 airfields, instead of the 1st. Second, the F-4E Terminators REALLY look more interesting than the Su-24 with the Hephaestus sighting system and the Su-34 with the Platan. Since our "Sapsan" has not been brought to mind. // http://topwar.ru/85382-f-15e-protiv-su-34-statya-otvet.html //
Then, who, if not the Turks, needs to know who, what and how to bomb? wink At the same time, their intelligence (almost on their territory) is clearly more interesting.
Supply. There is no need for Ruslans and BDK to carry ammunition.
In terms of ground operations - all without any questions.
MLRS. I think that here everything should be clear.
Regarding escort of bomber aircraft with fighter cover .. Well, who would have tucked into the Turks there, to whom would they interfere?
The presence of AWACS, actually working by the way.
Regarding refueling, the Ottomans have clearly more experience, and, given 34 airfields, this is not such an important option in this conflict. Syria is a small country.

Yes, and all your other attacks - sorry, request, do not cost anything, except that you breathe unevenly to "sistine".

PS: Once again, the article is weak (in my understanding), a lot of things don’t agree (we start with the fact that the strongest air forces in the region - we end up with F-16 bl. 50/52 versus F-15I is for sure). The capabilities of the country's air defense are not disclosed. Let's say the F-5E Tigers are cool aerial fighters. Mig-21 and 23 won all fights in Kubinka.
Yes, and the article is technically very different from what Bongo writes, no references to sources, evidence .. possible options, etc.
But it's tough to "attack" this work, how to say .. It is not for you to do it.

[Scraptor]

About 23 I would like to know more

[mvg]

Do not be lazy, look for yourself. It’s not so difficult to type in Google point ru, and then come up with a question.
After the F-5E won everything dry against the MiG-21, the latest MiG-23ML were brought to the Cuban. After which the story repeated.
By the way, the F-5E was planned only for export, a cheap option for those who do not have money for the F-4E.
PS: Somehow the Americans are very good at doing something for others - the R-51 Mustang was also intended for export .. R-36 Curtiss from the same series.

[Scraptor]

She couldn’t repeat herself with ML ... For him, until 1988 only the subsonic Harrier in close combat was a threat. For the MiG-21, the F-5 was the most dangerous aircraft, but not a disaster. The Swedes also wiggled against the 21s a couple of times on Wiggens, after which those who knew how came and put them in their place, but all of Sweden still celebrates, as you do with this F-5.
Mustang before installing the English engine on it was the same UG as the P-36.

[fyvaprold]

Respected mvg let me disagree with you. The points:
1). Kaptzoff wrote:

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

"similar" means the same number and with the same ground support, what have 34 Ottoman airfields to do with it? If you compare ALL resource of Vilayat Turkey, then compare them with ALL resources of the Russian Federation.
2). Kaptsoff statement:

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

The Turks refueling system is more efficient.

And yours:

Quote: mvg

Regarding refueling - the Ottomans have clearly more experience

On what basis are these conclusions? Amersky KS-135 with a "rod-hole" system, simultaneously filling one side, against our Il-78 with a "cone-rod" system and two fueled sides, cannot be "more effective". And there are many times more flights that require refueling at the RF Aerospace Forces, if only due to the larger territory and frequent (recently) flights from end to end, so "more Turkish experience" is nonsense.
3). About:

Quote: mvg

Yes, and all your other attacks - sorry, request, do not cost anything, except that you breathe unevenly to "sistine".

In some ways you are really right, I have certain "feelings" for Mr. Kaptsoff. You know, I do not like writers who write for the sake of writing, especially if a person living in the United States reduces all his "truth-cutting" articles to the thesis: "In Russia - shit, in the West - the gardens of Babylon".
Thank you for the criticism, but you are absolutely wrong, either because of love for Kaptsoff, or because of an inattentive reading of the arguments and counterarguments that I cite. Sincerely.
PS: By the way, "Kaptsoff", I call him not for the sake of insult, but because of his place of residence (Wildwoods) and his fierce ̶п̶а̶т̶р̶и̶о̶т̶и̶з̶м̶а kneeling before the "best-in-the-world-country-Emerica".

[mvg]

Goodnight. Why not sleep?
Point by point, there’s nothing to do anyway ...
"similar" - it will not work, they (the Ottomans) have no strategists.
Therefore, I understood "a similar operation", and Kaptsov had this in mind.
And Turkey is not so stupid as to crawl through half a ball to "pacify" someone. Although hot southern lads - but, as they say, the fool is dumb.
For refueling - the "bar-hole" is twice as thick as the "cone-bar". In Russia, only strategists have a regular practice of refueling in the air. Not all 27/30/34/35 have a refueling system. Not to mention the MiG. Even at 33 for a long time it was not, and already there God himself ordered.
The Turks really "broke away" very strongly in the south in 1995 and 1999. Up to 4 refueling in one flight (F-16, 9 hours with something, refuellers are not their own). They have practice all the time.
A cartoon here on a Chinese network walked very beautiful .. on this topic.
On our flights. You know, even test pilots from Komsomolsk to Akhtubinsk fly with landings. Very rarely with refueling. Somehow our IL-78s do not indulge.
PS: About Kaptsov. As usual - the whole truth is behind the eyes The person writes that not many do. Gathers an audience. Look how many comments are left on his articles. 100% of the most commented .. And this is a "plus" for the site.
What you think is Wildwoods and its "true womb" is, for me, better off than not. And to be like that, sorry for the insult, лThey are like cosmodromes, scrappers, nehus, gsh, warriors and other wonderful personalities on the site.
There are people who wrote razik, saw that they wrote kuynyu and read more, and there are those who are "tough" like Kaptsov, only deviations are different. And these are not just "urapatriots" but "uraitiots" .. Down there on this thread, there is an adequate writer on this topic by the way. I liked his argument with Scraptor.
PS: Kaptsov read VERY much information, maybe he did not sit in the design bureau, but not only the gods "burn pots", I know the level of several defense design bureaus "not by hearsay". So, not everything is ice there.
60-80% of what Oleg writes, I would support.
My opinion. You just have to respect work.
And so many things he painted at night looking ..

[Aqela]

I agree with you. There are a lot of controversial points in the article, but personally I put a "plus" for the designation of the question and the presence of argumentation: all this provides the basis for an extensive discussion, and some comments are more interesting than the article, but without the article they would not have appeared ... there is an author who solved his problem.

And then

Well, something like this, especially when you consider that they are working from their equipped bases for years on their territory, so there will definitely not be enough earflaps, and there is no point in making such a comparison - there is no plane to plane. We need to look at what we have in the complex as a system taking into account material and technical support, and here the Turks have a long advantage, well, if Sinop No. 2 is not done, then strike at the airfields of the NATO countries where the USs are sitting in the same Ingirlik.

Not sure . If we are ahead of schedule, they will definitely fit in, and if 08 08 in South Ossetia, they will yell for a long time that Russia attacked Turkey. In general, all this eerily recalls how the US dragged Saddam into a war with Iran, then did not object to the adventure in Kuwait and .... in the end, they hung and burned Iraq to the ground. He already wrote - it looks like Turkey will write the Lebanese scenario of civilian stabbing with the involvement of neighboring countries in the struggle for Europe with Russia. But for Europe, it’s exactly kerdyk - Islamization is complete with export substitution of the population. And for Bulgaria there, Macdonia, Montonegro, death in general.

[mvg]

Not sure . If we hit the lead, they will definitely fit, but if, like 08 08 08 in South Ossetia

What hit then? You yourself draw that the Turkish F-16s themselves will adequately answer, plus the Americanos radars (although Turkish ones with Jewish filling are not bad), and even the German Patriots will help .. So what will we beat?
From land, air or from the sea? Where do we have an advantage? Only in caps - but for some reason you immediately rejected this option .. And he is the only one, for the campaign. Well, if the Strategic Missile Forces are not connected right away.

[Scraptor]

With everything ... The radius of the Su-27 would be nice to put on a map of Turkey ... And on one such four brand new Superhornets needed. The F-16 is even larger in proportion.

[mvg]

It's scary to ask - where do you get the "firewood" from? Really YOURSELF! reports?
Who determines how many F-18SE and F-16 bl.50 are needed per Dryer-27. What kind of Su was meant? What upgrade? What missiles will fly to fight?
Dear, you would be better, before writing bullshit, if only you would first familiarize yourself with something .. You also had an adequate opponent at the bottom of the branch. Or are you just bored, and the series are all over?
Is it really fun to write nonsense? What does not have to do on the fence .. There is another cimus there ..

[Scraptor]

If it were scary, then you would not ask ... It delivers to you.

[Scraptor]

F-15s from countries have nothing at all, and Turkey did not come out among them with their ambitions and origin.
F-14 was allowed in only one country - and then what happened?

About the "injection" - it looks like you guessed it, Sir ...

[mvg]

Scraptor, you are in your spirit .. I don’t know anything, but I draw .. Like to school. I do not know how, but it is necessary, I go.

F-15s even have the Singapore Air Force. Everyone who can afford this bird purchased it. Google countries that use the Eagles in their Air Force.
F-14 .. And who needs a deck one !!! an extra - class interceptor, with an unbearable price. And the Phoenixes for $ 1 million (late 70s) per device? Only the shah's regime, for the fact that: "It is necessary, my friend, it is just necessary .."
F-111 is also only one country bought (Australia), but this does not mean that the plane is bad ..

[Scraptor]

Let’s better do your education on Wikipedia, which only three countries except the USA have F-15 (and not the cut-off F-15E + two more), and why suddenly a lot more were needed, and it was allowed to buy a deck F-18 which is very worse than F-14. Australia is far away - if anything, the F-111 would not have flown to the USA or to its large bases.

[mvg]

Once again, you heard something somewhere, but did not figure it out. This is normal for you. Take an interest, at least with Bongo, or something, how F-15C / D, F-15SA, F-15I, F-15K, F-15E, F-15SE differ ... and also a bunch of countries. Plin, even in a music lesson, on occasion, a smart phrase in the classroom, attach it somewhere ..
Grab the attention of the little ones ..
At the same time, ask what the difference between F-14 and F-18 is. It is clear that you will not be surprised. It’s impossible to surprise Pinocchio! At the same time, look at the price tags. I wanted to give you an example with cognac .. but I agree, he would not be appropriate here ..

Cape-making article. The Turkish Air Force is a dangerous rival.

In Google maps, look at the Turkish Air Force base near the city of Eskisehir, half of the Turkish aircraft are in heaps, it is very convenient to bomb.

[Gardener91]

To complete the clarity of the picture, it is necessary to have data on the tactics of combat use of the types of air forces, and not the generally accepted NATO, but taking into account the Turkish mentality. There I think a lot of interesting things and there is work to do. You also need to know the methodology for training the flight personnel by types of combat and flight training, and only then a complete picture will emerge called: The quantitative and qualitative composition of the Turkish Air Force, the state of combat capability of aircraft and personnel, as well as the degree interaction with units of other combat arms within the army and NATO bloc.

[Saburo]

Yandex in Turkey for some unknown reason is very popular, it is used even more often than Google. So it is not surprising if the Turkish government politely asked them to bluff military airfields.

In Yugoslavia, there were also many MiG-29s, but this did not help them.
Do not overestimate the capabilities of obsolete weapons.

And do not underestimate the modernized systems equipped with the latest weapons. Sometimes we have no analogues in service with it.

And generally hope for the best, but get ready for the worst.

In addition, most of our Su-27s also do not rise into the air.

[mvg]

How many were the 29th in Yugoslavia? Let me tell you .. 12 pcs, including sparks. 8 + 4. It's a lot? Against 1100 adversary aircraft? AWACS and air defense?
Air battles involving the MiG-29 and NATO are only 1.5 pieces.
Regarding the Su-27 - I agree, out of 300 I rejoice declared, God forbid 30% of the flight. Although they write that they have reached 50 and even 70% of the flight boards.

[Talgat]

Quote: Canep

Turkish Air Force is even better than Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is smaller than Turkey - 17 million people versus 75 million Turks

The Kazakh Air Force is really the second in the post-Soviet territory after the Russian ones - but of course they will be inferior to the Turets in terms of number of fighters, but there are models in some ways superior to the F-16 - these are Su 30СМ and Mig 31, maybe our Su 27М2 can compete - I'm not sure. Mig 29 - old.

On the other hand, from the point of view of air defense, Kazakhstan has a plus - in addition to larger territory than Turkey + the presence of S-300 air defense systems, MiG 31 interceptors and the Su-30SM that began to arrive - there is also an integrated air defense system with Russia - which makes it problematic any aggressor suppresses it, then it will have to suppress Russian air defense in the border areas, and even with the destruction of all Kazakh MiG-31, MiG 29, Su-27М2 and Su-27UBM2 - you will have to engage in battle with Russian aviation from airfields in the Russian Federation

All this makes an attack on us hopeless enough, except if they decide to start a global war and attack Russia itself.

Nevertheless, there are constantly publications that they are going to purchase the Mig 35 - or the Su-30 SM in addition to the 4 purchased. Personally, I do not see the need for large expenditures as long as there is such "peace and friendship" with China.

For convenience, I copied the info from the article about the prospects of the Air Force KZ
"... Russian analysts said that in the near future the RK SVOs can purchase and need the following types of aircraft and air defense systems:

Training aircraft Yak-130

about 39-24 units must be received to replace the TCB L-36.

MiG-35 fighters to upgrade the MiG-29 fleet are supposed to be purchased from 24-96 units.

It is planned to offer fighters of the Su-30MK2 and Su-35С family for the Air Force of the Republic of Kazakhstan after negotiations on the delivery of the Yak-130 ATC, the planned number of about 80-90 aircraft.

Due to the obsolescence of the front-line aviation fleet, Kazakhstan may itself begin negotiations on the supply of new Su-34 front-line bombers and Su-25 family attack aircraft, a possible renewal of the front-line aircraft fleet near 100 aircraft.

Given the vast territory of the country, it is possible to purchase about 5-10 units of AWACS aircraft, which can be supplied by Russian and European manufacturers.

Also, Kazakhstan’s interest in acquiring fifth-generation fighters, given the economic opportunities of Kazakhstan, we can assume the purchase of T-50 class fighters, which are distinguished by their low cost compared to their Western counterparts and ease of maintenance, the number of possible purchases is about 60-70 units.

[brr1]

Stop swag watch. Kazakhstan will not sustain such a quantity economically. In addition, the money will be stolen by the way.

[Adhesives]

I hope that due to the financial difficulties that have arisen, the Turks will refuse or at least reduce the number of F-35 purchased. Perdogan and F-35 are not a pair, not a pair, not a pair ...

[mvg]

The Turks want more than a hundred F-35s, while part of the production is their own. Even glider elements.
Israel, as far as I remember, 35 pieces in total. The rest will be "bought" by the F-15s. There is something to worry about, given the relationship between countries, and the inadequacy of leadership.
PS: I will not hide, I would love to look at the only worthy rival for Jews in the region .. In the sense of a real battle. Suddenly the next president of Turkey will be Ahmadinejad-like.

[Adhesives]

It's too early for you to rejoice. The Turks reduced the purchase plan of F-35 to 75. And ours have already paid for the purchase of 33 F-35, with the option to purchase another 42 cars. And these cars will be with Israeli avionics, incomparable with the American trimmed export option for the Turks. And most importantly: do not compare Israeli flyers with Turkish ...

[Vikings]

Turkey is a serious and highly motivated opponent.
overlook the successes in economics in recent years.
Strengthening of the Turkish army, not a random factor, but purposeful
process called up by its strategic position in the region and
the proximity of borders to Russia. And the aggressiveness of Turkey can be
to clarify the absence of a worthy adversary, the bottom, walking with
sides of the United States, and confidence + guarantees of impunity, with
Rones of the United States!

It was not enough just that the Turks, in full view of the whole world, had shot a dozen more of our most modern aircraft this time, and arranged a no-fly zone over half of Syria.

One must be patriots, but one cannot be stupid patriots.
And stupid patriots do more harm than any liberals, cosmopolitans and traitors.

In military affairs, the worst thing you can do is underestimate the enemy by overestimating yourself. Always the opposite.
Therefore, a true military expert never writes anything like this. I recognize my dear by gait ...

[Scraptor]

It is necessary to answer this (one plane) if they don’t understand then already ...
Obviously unequal it will be for the Turks, on their northern coast. During the Soviet era, eastern 2/3 of Turkey was not planned to be defended by NATO at all.

Why don't you get involved, or do you think a NATO member country has the right to believe that it has the right to foreign Syrian territories because the Turkmen live there and they are their "brothers"?
In this case, both Yugoslavia in 1999 and the USSR in 1941 had to immediately surrender to the enemy, because the attackers in both cases were clearly stronger than those who did not attack.

"Sovereign Ukraine" is what you were able to defend in your Ukraine in the Polish-Turkish war. Not what you asked from Kerensky, Lenin, Yeltsin.
You didn’t leave the USSR with us, Belovezhskaya Pribluda was denounced by Russia and Belarus.
All your "sovereign" rests on Putin's "brotherhood of the peoples of Ukraine and Russia", and not the legal membership of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus in the UN, which itself illegally recognized you in Bialowieza without giving a damn about its own legal recognition of the 1991 spring referendum.
So your "sovereign" is within the boundaries of the "Eternal Peace" in 1686, plus the Left Bank along the Pereyaslav Rada, and not along the boundaries of the "collapse of the USSR".

But I add that:
- In addition, Turkey has a US missile defense radar
- US missile defense interceptor ships still pulled
- And not just Patriot, but PAC-3 with wlink16.

Those. there is a place to be an integrated layered air defense / missile defense system. Russia does not even have such a thing over Moscow.

And I’ll add if you look at what modernization the F-16s have gone through and see pictures from their press, then their lot is no longer just "crap around the corner and shoot at unarmed".

Their lot is already incl. shoot down our most modern aircraft without letting them reach the distance from which they can use their weapons against these F-16s in response.

Those. with competent tactics, destroy us with a dry score and without much risk. Ammunition will help them with NATO. Don't even doubt it

That's why Erdogan is impudent.

They have a license for the production of F-16s, for an attack helicopter, and for transport CN-235s. AWACS and refuellers - purchased. They are trying to make tanks themselves and carry out modernization (German "Leo" and US M-60A1 / 3). They make a range of armored combat vehicles and wheeled and tracked vehicles themselves, and they also buy them (BTR-60-70-80). For MLRS and barreled artillery - no problem (license or upgrade). There is shipbuilding capacity. Nobody announced sanctions except us. The Roketsan rivets a decent set of rocket weapons. What else? S-300-400 no? Let the same Patriots be leased to them under the military aid program.

What they do is called a "screwdriver assembly". Lada largus is also considered a Russian car, but how much Russian is there. The purchase of these spare parts requires currency. Other countries have not imposed sanctions, but the Russian Federation is their first partner and the largest in terms of currency inflows. Plus, the country is completely dependent on external energy resources, and these are only allies of the Russian Federation and Iran.

[25ru]

Quote: oldav

what they do is called "screwdriver assembly"

Dear, if you are not completely sure about the topic - do not write better. Here are the conditions for licensed production of B and BT in Turkey:
[b] In 1975, the US Congress in response to the Turkish occupation of Northern Cyprus imposed an embargo on the supply of American weapons to Turkey.
From that moment, Turkey decided to switch to a policy of import substitution and production of the most important types of weapons and military equipment in its own territory.
In 1975, the Turkish National Security Council adopted the first five-year plan for the development of the armed forces, which provided for the modernization and reorganization of the Turkish defense industry. The concept of military supply was formed, which included the inclusion in any arms contracts of a clause on the adjustment of the production of arms and military equipment in Turkey. Now Turkey’s partners in the supply of arms and military equipment were obliged to create defense industry enterprises in the country, with a controlling stake (1% of) of these enterprises being in the hands of the Turkish side.
In 1970-1980 Turks received a large number of licenses for the production of arms and military equipment. An example is the agreement signed in 1979 with Germany. As a result of its execution, the factories for the production of small arms in Kırıkkale were expanded, a factory for the repair and modernization of tanks in Adapazar was built, a military shipyard in Geljuk was expanded for the construction of submarines and modern frigates, and an aircraft engine factory was built in Eskisehir. A number of contracts were concluded for the production of ATGMs, submarines, etc. 209 and boats. The construction of the ships was largely carried out with the help of foreign experts, while the ships were also equipped mainly with foreign weapons and military equipment that were not manufactured in Turkey. At the same time, Turkey received surplus military equipment from the Federal Republic of Germany, including American M48 tanks and German Leopard 1.
In 1978, the US embargo was lifted from the arms embargo on Turkey, and in 1980 the parties signed an agreement on the development of military-technical cooperation, as a result of which a special bilateral working group was created. The largest projects were also implemented within this group:
• construction of a plant for the production of F-16C / D fighters in Ankara near Mykurta. TUSAS (Turkiye U9ak Sanayi Anonim §irketi) received 51% of the shares in the new enterprise, General Dynamics (then Lockheed Martin) - 49% of the shares. [b] In 2005, the US side sold its stake in Turkey;
• construction of an aircraft equipment factory in Eskisehir. The TUSAS subsidiary, Hava Sanayi Endustrileri; [/ b] owned this company in conjunction with General Dynamics on the same terms.
Well, etc.
Yours!

[oldav]

Such a high-tech product as the F-16 fighter cannot be produced locally by such a country as Turkey. Even the USA and the Russian Federation cannot produce weapons 100% locally. The main components come from the United States and are bought for currency. Of course, they save by producing weapons at home, it's cheaper than buying ready-made ones, but this also requires currency.

It's nice to talk with a person who imagines the production cycle. There are nuances: the Vladivostok Sollers, the St. Petersburg TOYOTA or the Uzbek DAEWOO - is this a screwdriver assembly or licensed production?
You are missing the topic of the Turkish defense industry's own development, but they have done a lot. Recently there was an article on how to attach a "smart" head to NURS. The Turks checked in there too. Those. the radio-electronic industry is working. Warships, up to and including the frigate and diesel-electric submarines, do it themselves. SZRK "Etilgen" put into mass production, yes - this is the integration of PU MANPADS "Stinger" and Turkish chassis / optoelectronic systems, but they produce themselves. You can go on, I know enough technical English to run through the catalogs of military products in Turkey, but I think that the examples given are enough. Once the products are offered for export, it means that the country has a full production cycle at home and there are no export restrictions on the part of the copyright holder.

[oldav]

The question is whether she will be able to produce and purchase all this under the conditions of our sanctions? Look at the same Ukraine. What happened to her after the loss of Russian markets.
In Turkey, a huge wild-growing population, a country dependent on energy (from Iran, the Russian Federation, Syria, Iraq), the tourism market (at least 50%), several million refugees (who also need to be fed) are lost.

[oldav]

Yes, they do not have this production cycle, where did you get it. Even China, making its copies of the su-27 and il-76, buys engines from us. And about the fact that there is warmth it says nothing. We in Siberia in January +5 last year was, but this does not mean that we live in the southern climate. Yes, and you were probably somewhere in Antalya. By the way, gas and oil are needed not only for heating and cooking, but for example for the production of the same f-16s.

Full of those, as they previously did without our tourists, there will be no Europeans, Europeans, what difference does it make whom they provide services for, or in your Russotourist is irreplaceable and without them everything will grow feather grass?

[oldav]

Tourists are only 3-5 billion, they will not transfer everything from trade with Russia $ 16-17 billion, plus a few yards from lost profits from the closure of the Turkish stream. In the case of direct aggression, gas is shut off and they freeze. Speaking of tourists; knowing pedantic Germans, I strongly doubt that they will go to such a restless region, where Yiddish terrorists rest in hotels in addition to tourists.

I have the honor!

I am very offended by the blatant illiteracy and pride of some citizens who, speaking somewhere, end their speech with the words “I have the honor”.

For some reason, now the words “I have the honor!” Are perceived by the writer in the sense that he personally has the honor. Such an impudence would never have been allowed by any Russian officer. To say to himself that he has the honor is to expose himself as a boaster and insolent. You can also write at the end of the letter: “I have a mind”, “I have a conscience”, “I have money”, “I have a wife” ...

In a conversation or in a letter, officers used to say: “I have the honor to introduce myself,” “I have the honor to leave”, etc. That is, the phrase had the exact opposite meaning: a person had the honor of being introduced to another, had the honor of meeting one or another person ... that is, for him, the author of these words, it was an honor to meet or say goodbye to another. And now, for some reason, they decided at the end of the letter to put the completely wild phrase “I have honor” ...

Nobody actually asked about his honor. Well, you have it, so have it to your health, why should you flaunt it? Who knows what? And most importantly: if a person has honor, then its presence must be demonstrated by deed, and not by boasting about its presence. Moreover, the words “I have an honor” should be appreciated more by others, and not by myself.

Igor Tenyukh likewise liked to rush with such a phrase, but it is dishonorable when he was asked a question from a commander who seemed to be from Kerch, what should he do if 80% of the personnel were not with him. To which the "having honor" Tenyukh shamed him and called him a whiner.
This canoe most likely flooded everything from the same propaganda about the "great honor and dignity of an officer" with the film of the same name "I Have The Honor". Whom everyone around and always betrayed, and only he alone did not betray anyone.
For me it is so very good about the honor of a soldier and not only an officer was shown in the story "The Eagle landed" I do not remember the author seems to be an Englishman.

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

I have a cottage, your ...

There is a deliberate glossing over, erosion of the original meaning of the word.

Honor is an ancient image, meaning the connection of a person with his intangible nature, with his ancestors. A force based on this connection, which a person can use if necessary to protect himself and his family from any unrighteous attacks.

Officer (well-worn) "I have the honor!" - has the meaning. This is a kind of proposal to find out the truth in a duel where the one for whom the truth wins.
"This is a great honor for me" - no longer makes sense.
Having a summer cottage is good, everyone can see it, but to see if another person has the honor, in practice it means to see and understand the last in your life.
Although, I also do not like it when such words are spoiled for nothing.

[Taoist]

Here I do not see what "breaking spears" is about. The Turks have always been a skillful, brave and strong enough enemy. When I was in the service, no one doubted that the Turkish Air Force and Navy should be taken seriously, even regardless of their NATO membership.
Here already some hotheads offered to arrange a "response" in the form of a raid on Turkish air bases. As a rule, these are our "couch warriors". If we take it seriously, today we have a stalemate in military terms. Our VKS will not be able to create sufficient local superiority to complete such a task without serious losses and the use of strategic CDs. The Turks also cannot strike at our targets covered by air defense systems. (they lack long-range missiles). So it is likely that what is being done now is close to the optimum.
With regards to the Incirlik base, the very nasty one is there - the nuclear weapons storage facility, and we do not know for sure whether the Turks can use it in case of something without permission. In theory, there is such a possibility. I hope everyone understands that if at least one warhead explodes, then the further situation can be absolutely unpredictable up to a global "furry animal"

[Scraptor]

On the north, as long as they can. An MRBM or OTRK strike on the southern one is quite an option ... why not? They hit Pakistan with them in the Afghan one, the Turks are the same, otherwise they will not get it in response. The first patrol of the Syrian border after the "test of strength" from the Su-24 flew only a few days later, and the patrol included 18 pieces of F-16. The one that knocked down was eight. Typical such "Turkish" behavior.

If NATO wants to start a nuclear apoclipsis after this "done in Turkish" - let it begin ...
Here's how you stop them if they just want to start it? Or if the Turkish Air Force continues this practice, sinks a ship, the cruiser Moskva, just their army invades Syria and goes to our base?

In general, such countries as they have now become from disarmament and its means of delivery should be taken together to disarm, especially if there is something without permission. Most likely, if they try to unauthorized access to them, they will be neutralized by self-disruption, if the Americans are certainly not completely stupid.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that if a Turkish warplane violates Syrian airspace and is shot down with the help of a Russian air defense system, Ankara will regard it as aggression. "

- Did he mean the aggression of Turkey against Syria?

This log with eyes has not seen the edges for a long time ... Most of his "electorate" is the same.

[Old_Python]

If in an article about the enemy and his technique one can hear a quivering erotic aspiration ("legendary airbase", "hurricane thrust", etc.), then it is immediately clear who the author is.
The Turk is definitely a fierce enemy. "He stood as if on horseshoes - do not frighten, he will not run." And respecting the enemy is certainly right.
But why lick something?

Dear Oleg Kaptsov! I do not want to enter into polemics with you. This is useless. Let's just turn to the Explanatory Dictionary of SI Ozhegov, from which the expression "I have the honor" means "all the best, see you, goodbye, see you soon, goodbye, goodbye." And only. Those. I wished you personally what is in the meaning of this expression. That is, it has nothing to do with the officers, although for some reason this is exactly what we were led to consider. And as for business, for your information I "delayed" my affairs in the form of 39 years of active military service (including in preferential terms) in the Navy and I know it not from Wikipedia and Internet pages. Now here on a well-deserved rest. I give you the word of a naval officer that I will never comment on your articles from now on. I don't see the point. Let life teach you. Although your desire to delve into the material related to the Navy, arouses sympathy and respect. Well, many here have repeatedly drawn your attention to the rest. I have the honor!

This is Ozhigov's opinion, which has nothing to do with the word honesty. And therefore, we perverted this concept in our “explanatory dictionary”, interpreting this phrase as he understood it, which is not always correct if the answer to the root word is not given.

[Abrekkos]

Quote: Captain Nemo

Why don't you get involved, or do you think a NATO member country has the right to believe that it has the right to foreign Syrian territories because the Turkmen live there and they are their "brothers"?
In this case, both Yugoslavia in 1999 and the USSR in 1941 had to immediately surrender to the enemy, because the attackers in both cases were clearly stronger than those who did not attack.

Sorry, maybe I didn’t clearly express my thought. In a hurry.

The fact is that the initial conditions stated in the article are not quite correct.

These are:
- In Turkey, there is a US missile defense radar.
- Ships with missiles intercepted by the US missile defense are pulled up to it
- In Turkey there are Patriot PAC-3 - one of the most advanced ground-based air defense systems in general, not inferior to our S-400, but since there are several such systems, they create a denser air defense field.
- our S-400 from Latakia does not see the lower zone of Turkey at all due to the terrain and it is useless to us in operations on the border.

Thus, the forces of NATO and Turkey created an integrated layered air defense / missile defense system. Russia does not even have such a thing over Moscow.

This system can more than successfully destroy all types of carriers that we have (including all of our cruise and ballistic missiles). The only way to crack it is a long and very massive attack in the hope that one of several dozen carriers will break through the defense. This is already a full-fledged war with a NATO member country with enormous costs and losses on our part, even if NATO does not strike us. To get involved in it in isolation from our supply bases because of one aircraft is complete madness. Avenging one obsolete airplane plane to destroy dozens of its newest?

Trying to break through or suppress this air defense system by 4th-generation airplanes no matter how many advantages they add to them is pure suicide.

We have practically no air defense systems on the border with Turkey.

All this in itself gives Turkey a strategic advantage.

In addition, if you look at what kind of modernization the F-16 went through and see pictures from their press, it is obvious that they:
1. equipped with radars not inferior to the radars of our most modern fighter jets.
2. They have more long-range weapons in service than any of our aircraft. At a minimum, they have an AIM-120C-7 with a range of 120 km. They can also use AIM-120D with a range of 180 km. (The United States did not test them with the F-16, this happened in NATO and the Middle East monarchies), although these missiles are not in service with Turkey (although there are photos), but NATO can put them without problems. On our best airplanes, we can only oppose this with modifications of the R-27 rocket, the best of which have a range of 90 km. In addition, our missiles are still inferior in a number of not so obvious parameters. There is no other in service.

So if they are not substituted, they can shoot down our most modern aircraft without letting them reach the distance from which they can use their weapons against these F-16s in response.

Those. with competent tactics, to destroy us almost with a dry score and without great risk.
Ammunition will help them with NATO. Do not even hesitate.
And that’s how I just sketched out the reality in much more complicated ways.

Thus, we do not have the technical ability to give a military response to Turkey near its territory without heavy losses.

In this case, do not run on a machine gun. And it will turn out 41 years.
It is better to act more cunningly to get into 1945 without going through the defeats of 1941.

I’m afraid that NATO is just waiting for us to launch a bayonet attack on their machine guns. They all prepared ...

Should they give them such pleasure?

[Captain nemo]

Quote: Abrekkos

Ammunition will help them with NATO. Don't even doubt it

But then, what about the NATO super-duper bloc, during the conflict between Argentina and the country, NATO did not supply England with a NATO member, but sold ammunition to it?
And neither England was the attacking side, but Argentina. And no one's planes and ships, except England at the Falklands were not.
Well, let's leave the Falklands of the South Atlantic belonging far from the North Atlantic. But all the same, as far as I know, NATO comes into play only from the attacker, but not as an ally of the aggressor country which claims the lands of the Syrian Turkmen. As a matter of fact, the fact of aggression with the SU-24 by Turkey was committed, the SU-24 fell in Syria, the falling plane described a steep trajectory. NATO said that Turkey is not to blame for anything, and in your opinion, it turns out that we need to surrender to them immediately, because they are stronger than us, and they do not deserve to be destroyed like "the winners are not judged."
So far, of course, there is a verbal skirmish between us and NATO, but in this situation I would prefer the situation "Save Private Rhine" when for the sake of "evacuation" from the front of one single soldier dozens of soldiers and officers die, but after all, the sides in the Wehrmacht also died tens. And here in addition to "evacuation" we are talking about who is better and more will kill the other.

[mvg]

And then what was the NATO super-duper bloc, during the conflict between Argentina and the country, NATO did not supply England with a NATO member, but sold ammunition to it

Read more about the Falklands. Who, what and when. Why France didn’t deliver the promised ones (and purchased Etendars and Exocetes), why America didn’t help explicitly, etc. At the same time, the NATO zone of operations (Latin America is not included in it). You will answer many of your questions yourself.
And Abrikoss painted everything correctly. Not patriotic, but real. And so he still softened a lot.

[Abrekkos]

Well, I’m no longer a patriot.
20+ years of work to strengthen the defense capabilities of the motherland no longer count.
For a long time it was necessary to give it all up. And it would be more whole and richer. But something is still impossible. He left but returned.

Thank you very kindly.

[Abrekkos]

Upon mature reflection, I came to the conclusion that so many discussions arose because of an incomplete understanding of the thoughts of the author of the article.

This and I suffered somewhat.

In my opinion, the author writes mainly on the balance of forces between the Armed Forces of Russia and Turkey outside the military context of the current conflict.
So to speak, in a one-on-one battle.

In this sense, the author can basically agree.
And such a consideration makes some sense.

At least it makes no sense to compare our potential with the potential of NATO. The fool understands that NATO is stronger.

But when considering the current situation in Syria, in which, in fact, in any case, we will encounter some part of NATO’s potential (in terms of air defense and the supply of advanced weapons), everything looks almost the opposite.

Hence the directly opposite judgments.

If the author had a clearer idea of ​​what he was comparing with what would have been mine, many would have agreed or at least would not have denied the article but supplemented it.

Although the article would have turned out not so topical, but more correct with the same actual content.

This is my opinion formed, although I also did not agree with the author. I do not pretend to absolute truth.

In a word guys. Let's live in peace. Respect and respect to the author.

Let’s better to finish off the Turk together than to go doggy!

Quote: mvg

How many were the 29th in Yugoslavia? Let me tell you .. 12 pcs, including sparks. 8 + 4. It's a lot? Against 1100 adversary aircraft? AWACS and air defense?

Not 12, but at the time the bombing began, it was about three times as many. Even after the end of the company there are more than 12 of them left.

And no one 1100 fighters threw into the sky of Yugoslavia. 10-20 NATO fighters worked. If you can imagine what a combat use is, then you know that it is simply impossible and pointless.

All Migi were suppressed for 3-4 days. Although, in fact, in the first 2 days further, the cover flights stopped, everything became clear. separate hunt for luck. All from a long distance at which they simply could not use their weapons.
So if they had MiGs of at least 1200, Su-27 as much as this, it would not have helped them even if they had only 120 NATO aircraft against them.
They were not going to "fight by the rules" and get involved in mobile battles. They destroyed MiGs from a safe distance for themselves.

Sorry, but I saw it all with my own eyes and not on TV. So you can not convince me.

And so, regarding NATO forces, I do not agree with your remark a lot. But the essence of my comment was not in number but in usefulness and helplessness.

By the way, remind me how many of these at least 12 at least 40 MiGs shot down NATO fighters?

[mvg]

I just rummaged in the magazine .. But I have only for November. In September, I studied these two conflicts. 95 and 99 years.
Let me give you the numbers that I remember, but with the memory of the numbers I have good, and I will make some links. I’ll find that article, I’ll also throw it in PM. She is big.

Like that. The south had fighter jets: 1 squadron of incomplete MiG-29 and 3 squadrons of MiG-21. Those. what I wrote to you (12 summer ready-made boards). All MiG-29 of the first modifications.
http://voina-i-mir.ru/article/822
At NATO, 1086 aircraft participated in the operation (I rounded to 1100)

//
In March 1999, in violation of the UN Charter, NATO launched a “humanitarian intervention” against Yugoslavia. In the operation "Allied Force", 460 combat aircraft were used at the first stage; by the end of the operation, the figure increased by more than 2,5 times. The size of the NATO ground group was increased to 10 thousand people with heavy armored vehicles and operational-tactical missiles in service. Within a month from the start of the operation, the NATO naval group was increased to 50 ships equipped with sea-based cruise missiles and 100 carrier-based aircraft, and then increased by several times (for carrier-based aircraft - 4 times). In total, 927 aircraft and 55 ships (4 aircraft carriers) participated in the NATO operation. NATO troops were served by a powerful grouping of space assets.
By the beginning of the NATO aggression, the Yugoslav ground forces totaled 90 thousand people and about 16 thousand police and security forces.

The Yugoslav army had up to 200 combat aircraft, about 150 air defense systems with limited combat capabilities.

Here is another source, some other data, but close to mine. Not at all to yours. 20-30 NATO aircraft and 40 MiGs ..
http://bibliotekar.ru/encW/100/97.htm

It is clear that raising 1000 aircraft into the air is no good. Yugoslavia within its current borders is a small country. And, after 1500 axes, goals became even less.
Then they hunted for air defense and armored vehicles. Free hunting.
Air battles. They must be considered separately. What yugs give and what NATO recognizes.
Really plane 3-4 times. The results are controversial. The MiG-29 has no victories.
PS: I really, after Ivashov’s article, became interested in this conflict and read a bunch of materials. I don’t know what witness you were, but I’m ready to discuss it on any topic of this conflict.
How is it in our branch today I have the honor ...

http://artofwar.ru/r/rassypuha/text_0450-1.shtml
exactly the numbers that I called !!!
In 1999, the aircraft fleet was represented by various combat aircraft (238 units) and helicopters (56 units) of both national and foreign production: 14 combat MiG-29 and 2 training MiG-29, 82 MiG-21, 60 "Galeb" , 25 Super Galeb, 48 Orao-2, Mi-8, Ka-28 and other types. Yugoslavian combat aircraft are armed with Soviet-made R-3R, R-27R, R-73, R-60MK, 9M32M air-to-air missiles, as well as various types of American and French-made air-to-air missiles and aerial bombs.

[Scraptor]

The MiG-29 also had radars that worked only 40km. Nevertheless, they still managed to knock down even with such.
Most of all, the democrats in the Russian Federation were afraid that in response to these bombings of 1999 they would drop their entire aircraft at once in a one-way raid on one of the major European capitals.

[Abrekkos]

Well, then you know better ...

[Scraptor]

To me - yes, of course ...

[Abrekkos]

Yes, I don’t argue with you at all. You know better ...

[Scraptor]

[Abrekkos]

Well, I don’t know that myself.
But since you know better what you hear, then arguing is stupid.
Elementary logic suggests that everything is audible ...

[Scraptor]

Know so do not write. Heard what is heard ...

[Abrekkos]

Naturally, I did not fly there in the sky.

What axes are you talking about?

All MiGs were pressed to the ground in the first 3 days of the operation. Of those that flew back half. Shot by NATO fighters with long-range air-to-air missiles. NATO did not know about many losses.

This was clear and discussed in advance. What such attempts is to go on a machine gun with a shovel.

Only here are the same "patriots" as some here shouted, we are the coolest. And they lied to the political leadership, it all started with meaningful sacrifices.

When the forecast came true another day froze and conferred. Already the throats were ripped off the assholes explained this. And then they did not dare to give a stop order to aviation. Also, all kilometers, tons, etc. were counted. <here the word is not good>! It was just a crime. They picked it up again and shook it again. Then they gave a stop order. We fought for two days for 2 hours in an interval of one thought. That's the whole war for you!
There were no more than 10 NATO fighters in the sky during these 2 hours. Specially selected moments.

The main tomahawks flew afterwards. When there was no one to hunt. Everyone was at the airfields.

NATO airfields bombed only after sorties and did not touch. Like do not fly you will be safe. And the legend that they supposedly took everyone on earth later came up with an image for washing. Do not tell the truth.

Then there was one task - to bring down the invisibility.

Zadolbalo already is a lie on the Internet to read. Do not read this nonsense in the form of the memories of those who watched it on television. It was not so.

[Scraptor]

What's not in the first 3 hours? And the enemy's airfield and heliport, of course, did not attack the Serbs ... Was the "fiesta" in Aviano and other places during those 2 hours?

Then explain to everyone about your "invisibility".

[Abrekkos]

Well, I know the first week. Then another 10 days. I heard the rest from my comrades.

Was Aviano bombed? What are you talking about!
So they took and bombed with 29? The main base of NATO? Well then!
Yes, there were about 100 NATO planes there!
Why didn’t they get into one?
And of course, those were not there at that time. They bombed Yugoslavia.

And why not a single soldier was killed there?
Well, at least they bombed the dog?
Well, the dog is for sure ... That's a fact.

So I therefore missed all the fun. That’s a pity then ... And after all, no one told me. Here comrades are the same to me. Just a stranger enlightened.

Have you seen the bombing of Aviano on Yugoslav TV?
Or yourself, something smoked or sniffed?

[Scraptor]

Have you heard about Aviano from your comrades? This is not a city, not a tavern, and not a hotel, if that ... Yes, they bombed the B-29s. Unlike some two, I do not abuse it here.

Tourists are only 3-5 billion, they will not transfer everything from trade with Russia $ 16-17 billion, plus a few yards from lost profits from the closure of the Turkish stream. In the case of direct aggression, gas is shut off and they freeze. Speaking of tourists; knowing pedantic Germans, I strongly doubt that they will go to such a restless region, where Yiddish terrorists rest in hotels in addition to tourists.

Yes, you sho? where are there 16-17 lard? They wrote about the deficit on our part, and the figures were 2.6 lard and 9 lard ... The fact that the Russians did not go to Turkey in the winter would certainly hit the production of 209/214, F-16, and the Altai national tank. And the production of wings for the F-35 completely freezes.
You will not tell which countries do not give a damn about Turkey in solidarity with our sanctions? Iran will not supply gas or oil? Will Azerbaijan refuse them? Or China with Kazakhstan? I hasten to disappoint, they sent Russia in this version. Both China and Armenia, and Kazakhstan .. concluded an agreement on the supply of Chinese goods to Europe bypassing Russia.

As a matter of fact, the fact of aggression with the SU-24 by Turkey was committed, the SU-24 fell in Syria, the falling plane described a steep trajectory. NATO said that Turkey is not to blame for anything, and in your opinion, it turns out that we need to surrender to them immediately, because they are stronger than us, and they do not deserve to be destroyed like "the winners are not judged."
I would prefer the situation "Save Private Rhine" when dozens of soldiers and officers are killed for the sake of "evacuation" from the front of one single soldier, but dozens of soldiers and officers also died in the Wehrmacht.

Well, you basically said everything yourself. There is nothing special to add.

NATO believes Turkey is right. They prepared the evidence in a week. Double standards have not yet been canceled.

In fact, they strengthen the Turkish air defense after the incident. New cool systems have appeared on the air in addition to the Patriot, which, as it were, are not there, and which Turkey itself has nowhere to take from.

Saving a pilot and retaliating against a NATO country are two different things.

And the pilot is saved not out of humanism or nobility, but so that all pilots calmly, confidently and decisively fulfill their duty. Firmly knowing that if they don’t leave them, they will help out at all costs. Pilots adults with wives, children, loans ...
What does the confrontation of the Air Force have to do with it? The pilot did not fly on the wings on the sky; he was already on the ground.

I didn’t speak about a rescue operation, but about a military response in Turkey and our capabilities.

He didn’t offer to give up, but simply explained his vision of the balance of power.

And he urged us not to give the enemy pleasure to watch how our planes, pilots senselessly perish and how our prestige collapses due to noble but reckless actions.

If they got on the rampage, then we would dare to assure you that we would have to give up for real and in disgrace under escort leave Syria altogether.
And still get tough sanctions, a dollar of 3000 rubles, etc. The confiscation of our foreign exchange reserves that still lie in their banks. And other delights.

as shown by the actions of the country's leadership, there are no people who want to give Russia a penny.

It is better to prepare and give an answer when you are ready for this as you feel comfortable and where you feel comfortable. And not vice versa.

Such is my humble opinion.

Having trouble finding yourself? were "K" and "C" block 50, respectively, did something become clear? There was no point in hoping for a significant difference in the modifications (basic, extreme), the gap is palpable.
Trepachki above even believe that the MiG-27 is still in service.

The article is very good, although certainly not without some flaws.
A short summary with the addition of "a couple of cents" (and digressing from the technicalities):

1). Turkish behavior requires a response. But not direct (weapons for the Kurds, up to tanks, will also appear by chance, they will also buy Diarbakir on the market). The main problem is that Osmaniya is a NATO member. And when Turkey opposes Russia in an alliance with some European countries, the result is always sad = the Crimean War, and the First World War. When Russia is face to face with Turkey, we win.

2). The Russian air force is not ready to conduct a serious offensive military company away from its main bases in the territory of the Russian Federation.

3). Especially my opinion, but in principle based on the available facts: now Turkey is superior to Russia in the organization of the Air Force and in the average quality factor of pilots, even taking into account our increased skill in recent years and a decrease in the fighting efficiency of the Turks due to the principled dismissal of many "flyers" over the same period over the past few years.

The bottom line: we do not need a war with Turkey. We will not be able to win it, and to competently occupy land territories at least partially, too; and playing muscles will cost us several hundred planes, most likely with less losses from the Ottomans ... About the fact that war will mean a complete razorselenie Russian economy, and although Turkey will suffer, it will probably come out a little with the best state of the national economy.
