Media: Russia uses radar detection aircraft in Syria

The AFL of the Russian Federation began to use DRLO airplanes and A-50 control in Syria to support the anti-terrorist operation, Jane's Defense Weekly magazine writes.

A-50, according to the magazine, was spotted over Syria in late November. “For example, on November 27, an airplane flying along a route typical of the AWACS aircraft was marked by Flightradar24.com, where aircraft responder signals are displayed in real time. The route of the aircraft, which had no open call sign, passed over the northwestern part of Syria at an altitude of about 6 km. The flight duration was about four hours ", - quotes from the blog article bmpd.

According to the author, “there is no evidence that A-50 is using the Khmeimim airbase”, so he concludes that “airplanes are likely to take off from bases on Russian territory, perhaps from Mozdok airfield, where deployed long-range Tu-22М3 bombers used for strikes in Syria. "

A magazine source at the British Defense Ministry noted that "Russian A-50 did not attempt to irradiate the airplanes of the Royal Air Force or other countries of the Western coalition." According to him, "the elimination of conflict situations in the air between Russian and Western aircraft is carried out by Russian and US ground coordination centers."

Cool as it is to track pickups, because nothing flying seems to be observed?

[seti]

If A-50 flies there, then there is a task. The aircraft is very valuable and filled with radar equipment. Most likely he flies not alone but with accompaniment.

Sometimes Turkish F-16s fly by, and Israeli planes often appear, not to mention the planes of other countries of the so-called "coalition".

This is for the same purpose for which there are "shells" and S-400s in Khmeimim.
And also to get a clear picture - who and where is in the sky over Syria and neighboring countries, and at all heights (ground-based radars have problems with this because of the radio horizon and local obstacles). So that no one would be tempted to repeat the incident with the Su-24, but now having gone on the attack unnoticed, on MV or PMV.

It’s interesting, do flying saucers fly at the Amer’s coalition? Or maybe we can’t wait for another blow to the back?

[siberalt]

Hmmm. It will be calmer to fight the "blind". I am glad that ours conduct weapons tests in real combat conditions. And this is a great reserve for the defense industry and the real sovereignty of the Russian Federation.

Not only. Even the lads galloping and shouting "they haven't died" ...

[v.yegorov]

A-50 besides pickups can track a lot of interesting things,
not necessarily in Syria.

[aszzz888]

Again "very worried"?
Well, if it bothers, scratch your turnips behind your ear!

[Dimontius]

looks cool like a toy)

Maybe they duplicated (insured) the change of “Moscow” by “Varyag”?

What is it like ? Super sampling radar a wave of all kinds of electrons flies to itself, and asks - you are British, American, parcel France .. well then we are past ..

And we distinguish them by smell from our aircraft: the smell of whiskey - British, Coca-Cola - Americans, well, if frogs - then it's French!

[Rash]

Most likely a crooked translation is crooked.

[ded100]

We apply well and what we are doing right!

[lukewarm]

What are his goals there?

[Sirocco]

It would be strange if these planes did not fly there, and would not support our aircraft.

[kote119]

and what’s supernatural, the normal work of the videoconferencing, and then in the newspapers high raised as if an imperial cruiser under the flag of the Russian Federation appeared over the territory of the SAR

[rotmistr60]

Why not. Kohl began to apply means there was a need. Only here about the support do not forget.

[PatriotKZ]

I agree with Sirocco (2), it would be strange if they did not fly over Syria.

Do you really think that such a stagecoach flew there alone?

[Nitarius]

And here Ears with EYES and BRAIN have come! maybe guys, partners came to listen))) and the combat tests must be done by the systems .. subtleties and errors must be found in a real battle!

[Mera joota]

What a stupid thing, 4 hours flew with the radar turned off? What's the point? There are no optical detection tools on the A-50, so it was clearly not him. Maybe the Tu-214R?

We do not know literally what he said "British Defense Ministry magazine source"- only in the retelling of journalists. Maybe this source meant that the A-50 did not take NATO aircraft for escort?

[dauria]

Did the A-50 not take NATO aircraft for escort?

Now it is impossible to distinguish the escort "on the aisle" from the "review". And never did the station of AWACS aircraft of continuous illumination ever.

[Alexey RA]

Clear. The analogies are really not always true: I transferred the principles of the air defense system to the AWAC: on the S-125, the review / detection and capture / tracking of the target are 2 different radar modes: either we with the bell tower we wavescanning the sector and rotating the antenna post / changing the angle of the antenna, or we grabbed onto the target and scan only the space around it, watching the chosen target and our SAMs, as well as the possible moment of separation of the target - separation of the combat load (because the target may be hunter).
And it would seem that both the AWACS and the SAM - radar.

If the radar is turned on, then it cannot but accompany all the detected CCs; it is there for that purpose.

[barclay]

If the duty was on the north-west of Syria, then most likely the emphasis was on the Syrian-Turkish border and on the area where our Su-24 was shot down. And rightly so - the Turks should be under a tight cap.

On the way to achieving goals, all means are good.

[askort154]

Until now, the problem of taking control of the Syrian border with Turkey at a stretch of 100 km has not been resolved. This is a "black hole" in the Syrian war through which there is full support not only for ISIS, but most importantly - for the "Syrian opposition". The Americans, to divert their eyes, "urged" the Turks to close this section of the border, but it looked ridiculous. This is that the wasps themselves brick up their entrance to the nest. Therefore, the SA "slips", it cannot go to the east, to the territory
occupied by ISIS until it plugs the "black hole". And there is a difficult mountainous terrain with a population of Turkmen-Turks who are loyal to the Turks. This is Erdogan's bridgehead for conquering Syria. Our Su-24 was shot down there.
Therefore, all our efforts, after the main oil supplies to Turkey have been put out of action, are focusing on helping the SA in closing the "black hole", and above all, in closing this zone for flights not only of the Turkish Air Force, but also of all those "wandering" in the sky of Syria ... And the Americans with the "coalition", taking advantage of this "slip" of the SA, are trying to quickly seize the territory of the Syrian oil production, which is now under the control of ISIS. The Americans will "defeat" ISIS by giving this territory under the control of the Syrian "opposition" with ISIS disguised inside. If Syria is not divided into 2-3 parts, and the time of elections for a new government comes, and the pro-Russian-minded leaders win, then the "sleeping ISIS" will "wake up" again. Here is my vision from the "couch".

[voyaka uh]

It is natural to use such aircraft in combat.
It is strange that they were not there before.

[vv3]

Watch a film with Rumyantseva “Die Hard” or “Restless Economy.” The plane should hang there all the time. You need to hang a couple of empty Derijables and depict video reconnaissance posts, put a couple of antennas in controlled areas near the border with Turkey. Use the style of inflatable planes. Let them bother, even if we don't have the whole real thing ...

Most likely already, our aircraft plowed a lot there, it's time to take control shots.

[ver_]

... but these things cannot be adjusted satellite-s-400 and A-50 ..

[4ekist]

Or maybe it was not the A-50 at all, the AWACS aircraft, altitude 6000m, will not be enough. Or maybe it was a VPU or an EW airplane, the AFS definitely cannot be said. But if special. Russian aviation is present there is a good training in real combat.

and then pick-ups with a solid-state fiber-optic laser with LED pumping, shmulnut from a height of 6 km - when there will be a cloudless sky over the whole of Syria ..

In addition to the A-50, there is also the A-60 ..
