Pentagon redeployed B-52 bombers to Qatar to fight ISIS

The US Air Force yesterday transferred B-52 strategic bombers, which are planned to be used in operations against terrorists in Iraq and Syria, to the al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, reports RIA News Post by American General Charles Brown.

Earlier it was reported about the intention of the Pentagon to replace those participating in the anti-terrorist campaign B-1 with B-52 aircraft.

“The B-52 bombers demonstrate our continued desire to pressure Daesh and protect the region under any circumstances in the future,” said Brown.

According to him, “the aircraft will carry out several types of operations, including providing direct air support and conducting operational attacks using weapons high precision. "

Another US Air Force general, Chris Kars, said he would not name the number of aircraft sent to Qatar “for security reasons.”

The agency notes that B-52 was based in the Middle East for the first time since 1991.

To combat Daesh. Introducing a new strategy. One Amer general already suggested that the enemy would scatter and capitulate from a single F-35 type. Decided to start the test with a show of veterans?

They would have used atomic weapons! Yes, I remember that our airborne forces used TU 160 and TU 95, but this was a test of new weapons and the operating time of using strategists in a combat training environment. And why Americans overtook the strategists, I do not understand. They used them in both Iraqi companies, and in Vietnam, and in Yugoslavia. So experience and best practices are higher than the roof. They probably want to once again show who is the boss in the house. I think after the work of the Russian Air Force, the American Air Force will not succeed!

Some sort of overkill. Strategists for immediate air support? Operational attacks?

They want to cling to Russia as in World War II.

During the Second World War, they did not cling to, but saved democratic Europe from the communist infection. A little off topic, but still interesting: what kind of world would we live in if Churchill had given the go-ahead to start Operation Unthinkable?
And here, whatever one may say, it will not work to attach itself, unless a ground operation is carried out. Government forces will officially win "with the support of the videoconferencing the USSR Russia, implemented at the request of the current President of Syria"(deep. slang), that is, even we will have a very indirect attitude to victory. And no one called mattress makers at all, so don't care if they have stratofortresses and what they will do.
It is quite possible, it’s wiser to look at a map of the world and figure out where these fools can generally reach from Qatar. It is possible Syria has nothing to do with it.

Something more comes to the answer to our teachings in Tajikistan with the use of strategists. But they can also practice at Mosul, and at Raqqa. It is quite likely that they are backing up some sort of upcoming movement in Asian countries from ex-Soviet republics.

[forester]

Some witnesses will not remain (residents of Raqqa) and others in Turkey - then they will rest later or back to Karabakh or even turn out to be near Crimea - farther and not only have already stuttered about a possible complication of the situation in these regions if Russia does not go closer to the Turks (yesterday TVC broadcasts the same thing to one Turk) - they completely lost their fears as they started talking with a rotten geyropa - it’s not without reason that it was after the trip of the fart to the macaque

[askort154]

sibiralt .... It seems that the United States intends to take Racca so that there are no unnecessary witnesses left

Well, for the integrity of Syria, Raqqa is like Berlin in 1945. This is the finish line in Syria, so the Americans regrouped their air strike force.
The B-1 was transferred to the United States, citing the "revision of the cockpit", and the B-52 was transferred in exchange. This was planned in February. Apparently, the rotation was done, first of all, because of the upcoming season of "dust storms". We also removed the "surplus"
new aircraft. Sand and sea air, sharply "eats up" the resource.
In these conditions, it is more reasonable to operate equipment with a small remaining resource.
The required operating conditions for the "veteran" B-52 are much simpler and cheaper than the B-1.

[gergi]

What is the next meanness started by exceptional scum. I would not be surprised if a couple, three cities with a civilian population are erased into powder like Dresden. What good can you definitely not expect from them.

[vovanpain]

Did they decide to use nuclear weapons to shandrah against ISIS? It seems that the laurels of our "White Swans" and "Bears" do not give rest to mattresses.

[Portolan]

these little bombers were actually created to fight terrorist fighters in urban battles, one reset and there are no fighters with the city.

[Blondy]

Our svh brought out as unnecessary. And they are introducing their strategists, how can Russia be noted in the Middle East, but to take closer control. Interestingly, they will explain what they mean for peace, and Russia is a threat of aggression.

2. The chassis is a bicycle type, with four main two-wheel racks and two auxiliary racks at the ends of the wing. When cleaning, the wheels of the main struts rotate 90 degrees. The right posts retract, the left - forward. All racks are hydraulically operated. When landing, all wheels touch the runway at the same time.

Rather, something like the 2nd front, as during the Second World War, followed by the division of Syria into zones of influence and the capture of the main oil-bearing regions. There was information about the Turkish special forces crossing the Syrian border and the upcoming transfer of US ground forces to Syria. It looks like we have started a plan. " B "

Strategic bombers against militants ..? Well ... Russian strategists fired at least long-range cruise missiles .. And what will these be ..? Well, if the Tomahawks or like in Vietnam will be carpet bombardments to arrange .. For the most part, these ancient aircraft are not suitable ..

Apparently, the "correct" bombing of terrorists will now begin.

[Verdun]

I can’t imagine how strategic bombers can fight an army of terrorists using, for the most part, partisan methods. Is it possible to raise the morale of their soldiers? There is no sledgehammer needed, but a scalpel. Scalpel in the hands of an experienced surgeon. If we talk about aviation - attack aircraft and helicopters. Destroying jeeps with machine gunners that cost fifteen thousand on a market day with high-precision missiles, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, is not the best way to reduce national debt.

So, the stingers against the B-52 are interesting to listen to.

So it is! Ours still half a year and almost all of Syria without daish. And these are in the best traditions of their history, at the end of the war, to draw their eyes. You need to talk about it everywhere. And not any negotiations with their participation. And especially not some French and other rags.

[Spartanez300]

They want to prove that they, too, know how to do something, but they are so far from Russian pilots.

[ametist415]

It is so excusable for a simplified domestic Russian to think, but if the pilot also thinks like I'm so cool that I can do it all ... he will lose. The Americans have a very large flying hours, although there are problems. Last year in Russia, a military plane crashed every week for several weeks in Russia in the summer. (about five planes crashed in peacetime)

[Stabilization]

By the way, you forgot to add that the number of NATO flyers who fell due to accidents last year was large or approximately equal.

[Thronekeeper]

It is unclear tactically the presence of these missile-bombers there. KR beat can be cheaper with EM URO. Carry Mosul? Convert to ganship like AC-130? There is no tactical niche there for them now; they and Phillipin can carry out all tasks with launching the Kyrgyz Republic, why in Qatar?

MANPADS reach several kilometers, a maximum of 5-6. Enough for the helicopter, the strategist to sneeze.

[Mountain shooter]

A monstrous machine. In all respects, and use high-precision weapons from it? Did the striped ears finally decided that it was time for the world to show that their "strategists" were alive and could also do something. Like launching a cruise missile. Are there still goals for them? Our assault helicopters are already being used, hinting that the targets have become quite "small" and require sniper accuracy, and the dinosaurs were impatient to show mattresses. Incomprehensible demonstration. Is there really nothing else? As the jackal Tabaki shouted: "Shame on the jungle!"

[VP]

Barmaleev there tens of thousands, enough for everyone.

[voyaka uh]

"Our already attack helicopters are using, hinting that the targets
became very "small" and require sniper accuracy "////

Helicopters began to be used because precision bombs ended
about 2-3 weeks after the start of the operation, CR is very expensive,
and the FABs give a spread of up to 100 m from a height of 4-5 km.
Helicopters were required to achieve accuracy.

[VP]

Was this the TV reported to you?

Su24 / 25 of the latest modifications that were in Syria, use fabs with an accuracy of 3-5 m. That was the essence of their modernization.

A bomb is either free-falling or controlled. In the last
case, attachments are mounted on it, including a control system and
wings guiding it toward the target. But then she is no longer FAB.
Even military GPS bombs give a 3 m circular deviation

Read what SVP-24 is and do not carry nonsense.

[voyaka uh]

Whatever the exact sight (SVP-24), telling when exactly to reset
a bomb depending on the speed of the aircraft and altitude,
after the bomb comes off - it is a free-falling object, depending
primarily from wind flows at different heights.
The bomb, for example, was dropped from 5 km, and the wind flow passes at an altitude of 3 km. The sight cannot know about it.
A strong impulse will carry her aside, and this cannot be prevented.
Therefore, all countries are gradually (due to their high prices) moving to guided bombs.

[Thronekeeper]

You can eat high-precision bombs and missiles X-25 / X-29 with laser, television, infra-optic warheads in warehouses in Russia, even half you eat, half of them were produced under the USSR.
Helicopters also quite use high-precision weapons - for reference - KVO "Attack" 9M220M and 9M120M at 10 and 8 km is no more than 2,5 m. Even more interesting is the Hermes 20/45 / 100-200 km and 18 kg of HMX for a snack. From verts to 45.
Nevertheless, sometimes they use UR based on S-8 S-8TK and S-8DK controlled by radio links. Since both our and the American project with LGSN, and ours with infra-optics failed because of the banal smoke of the GOOS windows remaining in the missile block after each launch. So far this problem is being solved but slowly.
The goal is not to spend a full-fledged ATGM on APCs and BMPs, and to avoid casualties among m / p and an Eight or Hydra-70 attack even with ODBC, the Americans have now noticed that especially the use of UAVs with Heli with an excessively powerful OB or TB ODBC leads to big casualties MF
In your country, Israel, it seems, the 102mm SD was specially made to kill terrorists in (***) settlements, on the basis of a rather controversial LURAHATRON CURV. Nevertheless, you sent several Hamas leaders to the Guriyam, and the peacekeeper was not injured. Why didn’t they use hellfire or mevrik? This is a rhetorical question.
The question is that for work in populated areas, "Attack" is preferable, even with a high-explosive or thermobaric ODBCH, rather than 300kg warheads X-29 or adjustable FAB-500 and 1500. -500OD or X-25, which actually happens. And satellite munitions against moving targets are unsuitable, they are "geographic", not "target", de facto - a step back from sprite and even correlation infra-optical seeker "shot-zabиl "
