New challenges to the strategy of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria are “outlined” and require a “game” of advance. What “mechanism” of NATO does Turkey coax in the north of Syria and Iraq?
The main, and probably the most disturbing news in this vein came from the German newspaper Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten. In particular, Hildegard von Hessen am Rhine informs that the CIA is working to provide the so-called “moderate opposition” with anti-aircraft missiles. weapons middle line with an average ceiling (about 10 km). Work is carried out with the most regulars of the terrorist camp of Western Asia and the Middle East - Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Moreover, the author emphasizes the fact that the Syrian anti-government fighters have such weapons of air defense, which has already taken place, and the beginning of its use can only be a matter of time. Earlier we already knew about the presence of the Syrian opposition, and the IG of American Stinger MANPADS and TOW anti-tank systems, which caused the loss of army aviation of government SAR forces and the Mi-8 helicopter of the Russian Federation. In the case of more long-range air defense missile systems, everything is much more serious, because our aviation is in serious danger not only at altitudes of 3-4 km, but also at higher echelons of use. This requires an early response, which should take into account the type of systems being transferred and the intended locations for their deployment.
COORDINATION MEASURES AND COVERAGE OF ACTIONS WHICH ZRK SPONSORS TURKEY? HOW EFFICIENTLY CAN IT BE CONFLICTED?
Until today, the Syrian opposition has not yet received open information on the supply of modern air defense systems from Turkey and Saudi Arabia to the Syrian opposition, but already in the middle of the autumn it was known about the activity of another state, the sponsor of terrorism, Qatar. It is this state, absolutely without a twinge of conscience, that provides direct financial and logistical support to the IG. In addition, back in September, before the start of the air operation of the Russian Aerospace Force of the Russian Federation in Syria, the delegation of the Qatar Ministry of Defense arrived in Ukraine at the arms and weapons exhibition, Weapons and Security-2015, in Kiev, where they signed a contract for the purchase of improved versions of the C-125-2-DMS Pechora-2D ”, which was subsequently planned to be placed at the disposal of the ISIL militants. These materials, including an e-mail message from V. Kurtuts, a Ukrainian adviser on trade and economic issues in Qatar, to V. Babitsky, a high-ranking official of the Polish arms company Level 11, with a request to assist in delivering the complex to Qatar and other contract documents accompanying the sale, were provided by the Ukrainian hacker organization Cyber-Berkut, which in one and a half years of work managed to expose dozens of crimes of the Kiev elite against the people of Donbass, Novorossiya and Ukraine itself.
The real whereabouts of the C-125-2-DMS is unknown, but it’s most likely that the systems have long been delivered to Qatar and can be relocated to the eastern provinces of Syria at any convenient time, since every step of the sale and delivery since signing the contract is coordinated with US intelligence agencies and Pentagon, from where come the further orders.
In order to figure out what degree of threat to the aviation of the Russian space forces can come from the Pechora improved by Ukraine, it is necessary to compare all the combat parameters of these air defense systems with the existing systems of optical-electronic warning and defense of our aircraft.
It is worth noting that since more with the first modification of the S-125 «Neva", put into service in 1961 year, subsequent versions have not changed significantly detection means image, tracking and targeting systems, it has been perfected only their element base and software for battle management. The Russian MUFG “Defense Systems” makes a modification of the Pechora-2М, the main advantage of which is the C-XNUMPPMU-300 element base, which allowed intercepting ultra-small targets with 1м0,02 EPR targets (promising PRLR, KR and low-profile 2 fighters). 5 km. The Belarusian version of the C-28-125TM “Pechora-2TM” is distinguished by a high maximum speed of the targeted 2 km / h (3240 m / s) target, an intercept range of 900 km, and the possibility of simultaneous shelling of two air targets, the other parameters are similar to the Russian modernization. The Ukrainian C-35,4-125D “Pechora-2D” air defense system has similar combat parameters, but the speed of the targeted target (2 m / s) is lower than that of the Russian and Belarusian modifications, the complex is single-channel.
But the "Pechora-2D" as well as other versions of SAM, equipped with TV-optical sighting system, which allows to operate in passive mode detection, tracking and firing target, which is the most dangerous factor for the current FSI Russian aviation. Combat operation of an optical-electronic sighting system, in particular target designation for the 5В27 SAM, is not detected by standard Birch-type radiation warning systems, and can only be detected by specialized radio-electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the Tu-214P, Su-24MR type or radioelectronic reconnaissance containers capable of detecting the radio command channel of the 5B27 rocket control, which also applies to the Prran system, which is part of the Khibiny electronic warfare complex. That is, to counter the Pechora-2D air defense system, any link of attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Force should either have modern DER and EW equipment, or be escorted by at least one Su-34 aircraft with containers of the Khibiny complex on hangers. It is not for nothing that now Su-34 is used as the main combat unit of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria. But the operation of the optical-television system directly depends on the meteorological conditions in the theater of operations, therefore, preference can often be given to the radar control method using the UNV-2D antenna post (an upgraded version of the tracking station and target designation CHP-125), this will greatly simplify the task of detecting and destruction of these complexes using the usual means of suppressing air defense.
In order to ensure the safety of our airborne systems in the air, in addition to the air-to-air missiles of the RVV-MD, P-73 and P-77, the planes should also be equipped with X-58 and X-25MPU anti-radar missiles; or at least one plane attached to the strike. The need to take such measures, in my opinion, is absolutely reasonable and is not aimed at general exacerbation of the situation, because in recent days many curious and alarming facts have appeared.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who, with Philip Breedlove, is talking about NATO’s work in de-escalating the situation after the tragedy with Su-24M, simultaneously blames the Russian videoconferencing, and at the same time declares additional military-technical measures to be taken to strengthen the security of Turkish air space. Strengthening the army of the aggressor country and the sponsor of terrorism continues. NATO commanders, according to Stoltenberg, has already taken a decision agreed with Turkey on the arrival and deployment on Turkish airbases additional American fighters to gain air superiority F-15C, as well as the indefinite number of British combat fighters. In the provinces of Turkey bordering on Syria, the bloc plans to increase the number of batteries of the Patriot long-range air defense system, which creates danger for the flight of aviation of the VCS over the northern parts of Syria, and it is impossible to do without anti-radar missiles here.
The false leadership of Turkey, also telling about the desire to de-escalate and restore communication channels at the level of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff with the Russian Federation, in the very first days after the deployment of the C-400 in Latakia, redeployed the Koral EW complexes to the south of Turkey, which, in addition to protecting the armed forces of Turkey and American "Patriots" in their territory, can also cover the anti-aircraft missile battalions of IS militants and other opposition forces stationed in the north of Syria.
In turn, it is possible to note the very low efficiency of the Koral complex against our Triumph, since the radiating aperture of the Koral antenna array does not have the ability to irradiate the 92Н6E radar located outside the radio horizon because of its ground-based, and / semi-active homing missiles 9M96E2 (48N6E3) in extremely rare cases will be part of the active radiation zone "Coral" means, which is confirmed by the words of first deputy general director KRET Vla Dima Mikheev that the ground-based Coral is not able to withstand ground-based anti-aircraft missile systems.
But "Koral" can be effective against tactical strategic missiles "air-ground", "ship-to-land" with radar homing when the missiles are used against targets, to cover this complex, so when planning a possible retaliation for Turkish air defense can stop be placed on tactical missiles medium-range-type X 59ME "Ovod-ME" with TVGSN, television-command guidance noise immunity over prior EW land-based systems, since the connection between the carrier rocket and may be supported outside effective review of EW antennas. Not much is known about the number and characteristics of the REP Koral complex in the Turkish army, but the basic methods of its “nulling” are approximately clear.
Let us return to the safety of our aircraft from air-to-air missiles from ICGSN, which include all versions of the AIM-9 Sidewinder. It is reliably known that the Su-24M front-line bomber uses the L-082 Mac-UL heat finder, which is a passive infrared station of the upper hemisphere of an airplane to alert the launch of missiles with passive GOS on a rocket engine torch, but to warn the crew of our Mac bomber “Mac “I had no opportunity, because the blow came from the lower hemisphere, where the sensors of the complex were not installed due to the low effectiveness of detecting missiles against the background of the earth’s surface. For this reason, another, more advanced system immediately comes to mind, which today is used only on prototypes of the multipurpose MiG-35 fighter.
The fighter is equipped with one of the best in stories World Aviation Missile Attack Alert Systems - SOAR. The system is represented by two high-resolution opto-electronic cameras with large viewing angles: the first (VS-OAR) is responsible for the upper hemisphere and installed immediately behind the cockpit lantern on the fuselage gargrote, the second (NS-OAR) is responsible for the lower hemisphere and is installed in a special conformal module under the left engine (on the nacelle). Sensors can detect air-to-air missiles of the AIM-9X type at a distance of 15 - 20 km against the ground, anti-aircraft missiles of the MIM-104 type (“Patriot” air defense missile system) - up to 50 km with precise positioning and possible target indication for interception using their own weapons or missiles "in-in" friendly aircraft. In order to complete the flight safety in hazardous areas TVD each aircraft must be equipped with such a straightforward and compact Soare system. Be in place of the Su-24MIG-35 fighter, and the situation could go a completely different way. In the near future, starting with 2016, the United Aircraft Building Corporation plans to launch mass production of the MiG-35 with a total number of 100 machines, which will soon begin to flow into the Russian videoconferencing system. It is very likely that the MiG-35С will become the main fighter of the Russian Air Force in the European and Middle East theater: the relatively short range, super-maneuverability and the richest information field of the crew of these vehicles, compared with other fighters, predetermines their future area of responsibility precisely in Europe and the Middle East, where a relatively small area of the battlefield includes a huge number of threats from the sea, land and air.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, along with their main "guide" - the United States is now doing everything to wrest influence in Syria from the hands of the Russian Federation at the expense of supporting the opposition, as well as the IG. Moreover, the dirtiest work is direct support of the IG (DAISH), given to Turkey, and the West is engaged only in supplying the opposition, but they plan to eliminate the IG afterwards. So over the past week and a half more than 2000 militants trained in Turkey joined the IS, and talks in Washington and Istanbul about closing the Turkish border from IS controlled by the Syrian provinces look like just another fiction. Qatar, under the sensitive US leadership, is creating a layered defense system for the Syrian anti-government forces, and in Libya, DAISh logists are quietly creating new training bases and fortifications, even with professional flight simulators, to practice new terrorist acts recently. And neither England, nor Germany, nor the 6 fleet of the US Navy take any measures against the Libyan center DAISH, but instead cynically “put on the tail” our RCM “Moscow” defending the air base Kmeimim, the destroyer URO DDG-64 “Carney” which in a matter of hours came to the Eastern Mediterranean from neutral waters and closely watches our ship just a few kilometers away.
Is this not a universal global conspiracy of the West against the Russian Federation at the moment when the fight against terrorism should be in the first place?
The actions of the French side are not entirely clear, the air force of which unexpectedly requested the use of Turkish airspace to attack IG, and this is when the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier R91 Charles de Gaulle is located near the Syrian coast, and the combat radius of action of “Rafaley” when flying at high altitudes is quite enough to reach the most distant provinces of Syria, especially since our C-400 operates in the area, “tightly” covering the sky from any unforeseen situations. This is another reason to think that someone very, very unwilling to see Russia, which in just a month ruined the basic structures of Daesh in the SAR, revealed the true intentions of the western side. West's actions today are reminiscent not so much the fight against terrorists as the total supervision of the actions of Russian VKS by all available means, from the intelligence services and the American destroyers to aircraft AWACS E-3G and deployed in Turkey's air defense systems and radar.
SITUATION AND OUTLOOK FOR GROUND theater Syria and zealously INTEREST inferiority (newly adopted), a member of NATO to the deployment of ground forces in the SAR
The active offensive operation of the Syrian government forces is now gaining momentum. The last few days, the UAR ATS with the support of the aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the most trained units of the Iranian Armed Forces, and Hezbollah, have been able to press the IS and Dzhebkhat al-Nusra militants in the central and north-western parts of the Syrian Arab Republic. More recently, the strategically important city of Makhin in the province of Homs was cleaned of its IG Through the Makhin there passes the major transport highway Homs - Damascus, along which previously the IS militants could quickly send reinforcements from the central and eastern parts of Syria towards the provinces of Homs, Damascus and Lattakia. This week, the Syrian army successfully formed a tactical "boiler" in the city of Palmyra, thanks to which DAISH lost several thousand militants killed and captured at once. And in the north-west of the state there is a successful offensive against the groups of Turkomans and Dzhebhat an-Nusra; an important victory in this key tactical direction can be considered a lesson n. The village of Katf Hamidah, which contributed to the acceleration of the pace of blocking the Turkish-Syrian border from supplying terrorists by the Turkish government and volunteers. But the pace of blocking the Turkish-Syrian border is not quite sufficient now, and Syrian government forces have only a few weeks to complete the special operation in the area, as there was unexpected news indicating the development of an urgent plan by the Western coalition to intercept a strategic control initiative from Russia and the Assad army. over northern Syria.
On November 26, immediately after the tragedy with Su-24M, Al-Mayadin TV channel reported on the news that 50 American troops, including officers, crossed the Baynar checkpoint on the Turkish-Syrian border and moved to the city of Ein Al Arab. (Kobani), ostensibly to support the Kurds in the fight against the IG. Here now you are not digging, because, first, Kobani is really on the front line between the troops of the Syrian Kurds and the IG (along the Euphrates River), which is still far from the front on which the Assad army fights. Secondly, Russia is also forced to interact with the Kurds in order to accelerate the defeat of the IG reinforced areas, passing as a chain along the Euphrates. And while it is absolutely unknown what the real goal of the fifty American military in the area is.
This could be an advance employment by the American military of northern Syria to further demonstrate the presence and form a base to strengthen the NATO contingent of other alliance states in Syria when the Syrian army and Kurdish fronts meet after defeating Daesh, which will allow the West to dictate its geopolitical conditions in the Middle East, a kind of win-win option, and maybe taking under the protection of the transport "corridor", through which cheap oil flows from the IG to Turkey.
But the most interesting thing is not even this, but what Ankara in Washington could have promised was that the Turkish military across their own border quietly let the Kurdish “camp” in Syria 50 of the American military into Turkey’s enemy; By the way, not a single military-political Internet resource analyzed this important detail. Apparently, the military-technical defense against the Russian Aerospace Forces for Erdogan, promised by Stoltenberg and Bridlav, came to taste first, especially since we still have to find out many details.
From the combination of the facts it is clear that all classifications in the geostrategic plane is now being made against Russia, with even by the injured France, which strongly wanted to bomb the IG from Turkish territory, bypassing Russia defensive videoconferencing infrastructure, which the French seemed to feel friendly. The European Union is so friendly for us that at the moment of the maximum terrorist threat and the need to consolidate all the network-centric qualities of the European armies, the German Luftwaffe refused to share tactical information about the actions of their percussion Tornado IDS and EF-2000 Typhoon over Syria ... draw conclusions.
The time has come to mention the new henchmen of NATO in the face of such states as Bulgaria.
In early September, Bulgaria has already managed to distinguish itself in a “friendly” attitude towards Russia, closing its airspace to our transport aviation, which delivers humanitarian and military supplies to Syrian Latakia to support the Syrian population and the army in the fight against ISIS. The decision was made at the request of Washington.
The subsequent news was the possible participation of the Bulgarian Armed Forces in the ground operation in the SAR, to which, according to the Minister of Defense of Bulgaria Nikolay Nenchev, the country's army agrees with great pleasure. Apparently, among the camp of the main NATO "Illuminati" (USA, Britain, France and Germany) has long been ripening plan, according to which the ground coalition operation in Syria should be carried out, but not by their armies. "Rake" everything will be the NATO armies of the Third World countries, among which have long been joined by Bulgaria, Turkey - is no exception. It is possible that the arrival of American soldiers in the Syrian Ein-Al-Arab is the "first violin" of the West in the ground operation in the SAR, which will be continued by such minor countries as Bulgaria. Take a look, because the use of such a slave country as Bulgaria in solving NATO’s strategic tasks in the Middle East is beneficial even from a geographical point of view. The distance from the Bulgarian border to the Syrian border through the Bosphorus Bridge and the territory of Turkey is about 1500 km; various military equipment and some material and technical base can be delivered to Syria in just a day - two. Convenient, isn't it? So you ask yourself the question: why is the Bulgarian Minister of Defense so zealous? Further actions by the military leadership of Russia are already going on to pre-empt such a turn of events: the main side of the military operation today was the destruction of militants in parts of Syria bordering on Turkey and sensible ties with the Kurds, from where the Western Front can "wake up", which can later change the military political situation in the republic.
In addition to the fact that the Russian Aerospace Forces intensified the MRAU on the border bases of Dzhebhat an-Nusra, the IG and the Turkomans, Syria and Russia will include in the “game” the Iranian Air Force, which, according to the Kuwaiti edition of Al-Rai, have already allocated for the air operation two squadrons of its multi-role fighters (24 aircraft), among which can be almost any machine, from the MiG-29А and F-14A purchased in Russia and the USA, to the latest developments - the twin-engine HESA "Saeqeh" and the unobtrusive light X-gun fighter of the 5 generation " Qaher 313 "able to withstand the enemy at ultra-low altitudes in a developed air defense system. The Iranian Air Force has long wanted to try out new equipment in combat conditions. Aircraft can be placed on the runway at Tias Airport. The Iranian conflict, which is a full-fledged regional superpower, is preparing a very unpleasant surprise for the US, which, after any aggressive and unacceptable trick of its American allies in the Middle East, can create a whole US Navy in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf, and support for the Yemeni Hosts. from Ansar Allah in the war against the Arab coalition and Al Qaeda, no one has yet forgotten.
THE BEGINNING OF THE POSITIONAL INTERVENTION OF THE TURKISH ARMY TO SYRIA AND IRAQ PRESENTS TWO STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES, BUT ITS CONSEQUENCES VERY FASTLY CAN BE FATAL FOR TURKEY MOST
While the Syrian government forces, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces headquarters in the SAR, are preparing a large-scale offensive in the province of Idlib, which is a stronghold of the main pro-Turkish terrorist Djabhat al-Nusra (the Al-Qaida Syrian branch), the general military situation in the Middle East, particulars already in northern Iraq, sharply aggravated due to the unauthorized aggressive actions of the NE of Turkey, which at first (November 26) occupied the tactically important hill Tal-Ziyab in northern Syria, and then the northern parts Iraqi province of Ninewa (5 of December).
In the case of the Syrian Tal-Ziyab, the invasion of armored units and infantrymen was clearly due to the creation of the last border fortified area at the turn of the Turkish border to protect the transport "corridor" through which oil from Syria and Iraq enters Turkey, and also as a possible future bridgehead for a land military operation against the Syrian army under the guise of fighting the Kurdistan. The Turkish military, immediately after occupying the Tal-Ziyab area, began the formation of a stronghold there with the help of bulldozers, and several FNSS Akinci infantry fighting vehicles, Otokar "Cobra" and OTBB were deployed to defend the perimeter.
In the case of the Iraqi province of Ninava, we observe a similar militarized “show”, the purpose of which is to support Iraqi Kurds, who are known to be involved in the illegal traffic of petroleum products to Turkey, while the Turks naturally fight more often with the Syrian Kurdistan because they fear this self-proclaimed state in Turkish-Syrian border areas, and in the active oil trade with the Turks, the forces of Kurdish resistance in Syria were not caught. Syrian Kurds are protected by the Turkish intervention, and our task now is to seize the initiative in cooperation and military support of the Kurds, the US and NATO, which will actually and reliably block the Turkish-Syrian border and the Syrian our geopolitical interests. Recently it became known that even some militiamen from Donbass arrive in Syrian Kurdistan, perform the functions of coordinating Kurds with the Syrian army and Russian-speaking PMCs present in the ranks of the SAR army.
Washington has already managed to isolate itself from awareness and information support of the intervention of Turkish troops in the province of Nineveh. And this completely contradicts the concept of the NATO charter on cooperation of the members of the alliance in the event of an escalation of the conflict, in which at least one of them participates, to which Turkey belongs, especially since the Turkish Armed Forces have already begun to receive US military support to protect Russia from the Russian Aerospace Forces. On the contrary, the United States is well aware and is working with Ankara on any subsequent step of the latter. The United States reliably covers and patronizes Turkey’s strategy to control the oil-bearing territories of Iraq and Syria, as it is beneficial both in terms of selling lucrative energy resources to countries in the Asia-Pacific region (Japan, South Korea, the Philippines) and in terms of holding the NATO military areas where the advantage goes to the side of the pro-Russian forces.
Turkey, with its aggressive actions, has already crossed all the permissible edges. Apparently, Erdogan did not have enough words and warnings from the Russian leadership, and the Turkish army in Iraq and Syria is one step away from attacking by the Iraqi Armed Forces, as well as the escalation of a new conflict that could develop into a big regional war, in which the Turks would be very tight.
Despite the fact that the Iraqi territory is now approximately 3000 US military training armed forces of Iraq against terrorists, the Iraqi leadership is quite aware of what is such courage and "cheek" Turkish Armed Forces, unhappy and plans for the transfer of new special units of the US Army in the country and therefore there will definitely not be a “blind eye” to the antics of Turkey. The Iraqi head of security and defense, Hakim al-Zamili, advised the prime minister to use strike aviation against the Turkish army in the north of the country, and how this can end depends only on the prudence of the Americans, who oversee the whole Turkish cuisine.
If the Turkish Armed Forces actually go to the intervention in Iraq and the CAP, even when Western support, it will directly affect both the Syrian and Russian, and Iraq, and even Iran's interests, because the IRGC military has long been fighting on the side of Bashar al-Assad; after that, the current Turkish regime and the largest army in Europe will be doomed. No one will allow the West’s military-political interest in the Middle East to prevail over the activities of the “devouring” DAISH that threaten the world.
The situation in the SAR is now the most complex in the history of military conflicts in the World. The complex structure and hierarchy among the multiple parties to the conflict, including terrorists, most often acting in favor of the Western coalition, forces the Russian AULF to act faster and more deliberately, attracting all possible means to achieve a military-political preponderance in this complex region.
