The latest aircraft technology will be tested at the Chauda test site in the Crimea

The unique “Chauda” test site created in the Crimea will soon be used to test new types of aviation weapons and ammunition transmits TASS message commander of the VKS Victor Bondarev.

“We have such a proving ground for the first time, and it’s very good that the pilots of the State Flight Test Center (GLITZ them. VP Chkalov) will work here. There will be tests of new aircraft ",

said Bondarev.

According to him, "the test site in Crimea is equipped with excellent telemetry of a new generation, which makes it possible to track the results of the use of each ammunition."

“When testing new samples, all characteristics are evaluated - from the moment the ammunition is removed until the moment it is blown up,” the commander-in-chief explained.

He noted that "the landfill is equipped with sea targets and long narrow targets (an obvious consequence of the operation of the VKS in Syria), which imitate the oil refining complexes and columns of enemy vehicles on the march."

According to the general, such targets will be set at other military sites.

The agency recalls that they are GLITS. Chkalov is the leading testing center of the VKS and is located in the Astrakhan region.

Creating something new, especially good and useful, is always pleasing. Against the backdrop of negative economic news, there is still at least some outlet. )

always requires financial costs ... I do not argue that this is necessary, but we have enough training grounds for modernization. IMHO.

From Wiki

Chauda (Ukrainian. Chauda, ​​Crimean-Tat. Çavda, Chavda) - a cape on the southern tip of the Kerch Peninsula, the eastern edge of the Theodosian Gulf.
The height of the cape is 15-30 meters above sea level.

The place is convenient for military studies in the new realities. There is nothing to be offended by.

[alexmach]

Maybe new samples should still be tested in the depths of the territory? Away from prying eyes?

New samples apparently require the presence of marine and land parts of the landfill, as well as new telemetry and other monitoring equipment.

Away from prying eyes?

Do you think that the new training ground for the new weapons was built on the principles of openness and publicity?

[Evgeniy-111]

Sometimes it’s easier to create a new one than to modernize an old one ...

[Karasik]

It is at this test site that one can work out the "closure of the border between Syria and Turkey," as Lavrov spoke about. Well, plus to that - additional protection of the Crimea.

This training ground was created not from scratch, but on the Soviet legacy, and the place chosen for it has a lot of advantages, in relation to others, especially in terms of delivering our weapons for export, in terms of preparing it for this, of course, we don’t forget about our benefits.

[Stranger03]

So it seems to me. It would be better if Crimea was made a pearl for tourists, hotels, beaches, service. Roads and other infrastructure pulled up to them. IMHO.

[firefighter]

Pearl for tourists looks much better in the frame of the videoconferencing. And everybody wants a pearl and stealing is troublesome!

Here, most likely, there are two factors ...

The first is to once again consolidate the presence of military equipment in the Crimea ...
The second is the climate, the landscape, "long narrow goals" - the development and development of skills acquired in Syria ...

Sometimes the NEW is the WELL FORGOTTEN OLD. But nevertheless the news is "+++"

[dmi.pris1]

Unfortunately, all this new, good and useful will be until the moment determined by the economy itself ... There will be no mobilization, socialist economy — there will be Chubais, Gaidars and thieves from the economy. Accordingly, there will be nothing new, good and useful ...

[Spartanez300]

Closer to different types of banderlogs so that they saw the professionalism of our pilots and waved them off.

[John_f]

and before that, there was nowhere to directly test ... and the seas of Russia Mother does not wash Mother Russia and there are few lands ....

What’s the cant? Little land never happens. And strive to take away. There will be an upscale training ground, let the enemies swallow.

[dmi.pris1]

Notice, the fosterlings of the exercises try not to conduct in Arizona .. Well, to us, somewhere in Tyumen is not worth it (for example, there are units in Western Siberia and, accordingly, military training is carried out at the place of deployment) .. But to shoot, you are welcome to take a closer look to sworn target partners depicting these same partners ..

It seems that Aviadarts-2016 will be held there.

[Red_Hamer]

I felt like a time traveler as in the good old USSR! The landfill was then used to test the armament of naval aviation, and not only, since it was registered with the scientific-test department of the Air Force SCNII!

[family tree]

Even, mnu from the words is unique and newest, well, understand, right?

[John_f]

And I have the same ...

Cape Chaud is located on the southern tip of the Kerch Peninsula, the eastern edge of the Theodosian Gulf.
The height of the cape is 15-30 meters above sea level. Rather, it is the new naval base of Russia, which will provide control over the Black Sea, creating a reliable shield for the Black Sea Fleet and the western borders of the south-western sector. On the other hand, Crimea resembles the relief of Turkey . Our pilots need to practice some visual exercises so as not to miss a blink in a quick battle with the alleged enemy. The newly-appeared pilot of the battalion Aidar in her so-called press conference said that she was torn to the sky. We are polite people ....

Not at the Far Land, to create a training ground for pilots against ISIS!

[x.andvlad]

Like it or not, but in Crimea there should be a full-fledged training ground. Both for training and testing.

[Templar]

The press service of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Colonel-General V. Bondarev "substitutes" his boss. The fact is that the Chauda training ground is not "for the first time" appeared at our disposal - it was founded in the 50s of the last century, as one of the subdivisions of the 3rd Directorate of the 8th State Research Institute of the Air Force. VP Chkalov ("Chauda" had the name "v.ch. 36851-A", the call sign of the communication center "Lyrica"), and until the end of 1991 remained OUR while in full force of the 3rd Directorate of the State Research Institute of the Air Force named after VP Chkalov "our" politicians did not transfer to Ukraine. Someone Kostya Morozov (a traitor and then her "Minister of Defense") transformed the UNIQUE organization for testing aviation equipment of the USSR Navy Aviation, leading its history from the 15th Naval Research Institute, into some vague GANITS MOU (State Aviation Research and Testing Center of the Ministry of Defense you know who). And if, before that, ONLY qualified test pilots and honorary diploma engineers from VVIA im. Zhukovsky, then during the period of GANITS MOU a rabble of patriotic "Svidomo" was gathered there. As a result, over the next 3 years, NOT a SINGLE significant work on testing new technology, but an "impressive permog" for shooting down the Tu-23 flight Tel Aviv - Novosibirsk in 154 (Ukrainians were shooting from the Chauda range). The history of OUR "Chauda" is significant in that it tested such "products" (further in chronology) such as Yak-2001 (helicopter-carriage), Be-24 "Chaika", Il-12, Tu-38 (M , MR), Yak-142 (M), Ka-38, Ka-25PL (PS, TL, "E"), Ka-27, Ka-29RLD (Ka-252). It was on the "Chauda" that numerous tests of aviation anti-submarine weapons and aviation rescue equipment were carried out - from ejection seats to remote-controlled rescue boats "Yorsh" dropped from the An-32PS. In the same place, Yuri Garnaev in 12 tested the system for shooting the blades during an emergency exit of the Mi-1958 helicopter. Test paratrooper Valentin Danilovich died there while testing another ejection seat. The Chauda was used to train the first cosmonaut squad to survive after a splashdown (Yu.A. Gagarin and others were there), and also tested multi-dome parachute systems for Voskhod and Soyuz recoverable spacecraft. The Chauda test site is still equipped with external trajectory measurement systems (VTI) in both the optical (Vega) and radar (Kama) ranges. But this is ALL the legacy of the USSR. In short - "Chauda" was OUR, OUR and remained!

[Timur]

A small amendment that does not change the essence of your message: directive of the General Staff of the Air Force of 18.12.1990/8/929. XNUMX GNIKI Air Force them. V.P. Chkalov was renamed the XNUMX State Flight Test Order of Lenin; Red Banner Center of the USSR Ministry of Defense named after V.P. Chkalova (GLITS)

[Templar]

I am aware of the renaming that has taken place. But in my post I talked about the past of the "Chaud" training ground, and then he was part of the 3rd Directorate of the 8th State Research Institute of the Air Force named after V.P. Chkalov

[Timur]

If you know such details, then you served in 3 departments?

[Templar]

... 17 years served in the 2nd department of the 3rd Directorate

[Timur]

Well, I, from Akhta, did not serve in the "tag", although I had a chance to work in the MAP on "Zaslon" for 5 years. After the end of "Takeoff" - he became paramilitary, but already in Belarus. Then Murmansk Oblast, Voronezh Oblast, but not in aviation ... Nevertheless, there are many acquaintances in GLITs and now ...

[firefighter]

Last September I was in Sevastopol. Chersonesos. I watched the picture: the family - mom, dad, Little Johnny (in every sense) 6 years old and Inessa 4 years old. Little Johnny sees fighters making a U-turn, informs his mother (Irina, it seems) that he will be a pilot. The sister immediately wonders if her brother will take her as a "pilot". Little Johnny does not want to fly with his sister, because she is small. Inessa, as a true lady, declares that she will find herself another pilot! I remind you: Inessa is 4 YEARS OLD !!! And if we have a new, old training ground, how many girls will find their pilots. This is patriotic education as well.

[Ros 56]

So our "Miracle" test site is heard, but for testing the latest technology, that's great.

[dobrovchic]

Fully Approved!

The tactics of destroying columns has always been, most likely it is necessary to apply auto-navigation of steam, etc.
