US strategic bomber B-52 participated in exercises on the production of anti-ship mines a few dozen kilometers from the base of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy

On the eve of the two American strategic bomber B-52 approached the borders of the Russian Federation in the Baltic Sea. We are talking about the aircraft with the callsign ICER01 and ICER02, which took off from a military base in the UK (Mildenhall). According to the resource Airforce timesThe crew’s mission included the laying of anti-ship mines in the Baltic.

We are talking about the participation of American aircraft capable of carrying on board a nuclear weapon, in the NATO exercises "Baltops 2016", in which several non-NATO states take part, called in the military alliance "partners".

Anti-ship mines (reportedly "training") were delivered less than 40 nautical miles from the Baltic base fleet Russian Navy.

It should be recalled that the aircraft B-52 previously proceeded to Mildenhall from an air base in the United States of America. Then one strategic bomber urgently had to be deployed back in connection with the identified problems on board. While data on what exactly the problem occurred, is not given.

More than 2016 thousands of troops from 6 countries take part in the Baltops 17 exercises. One of the stages of the exercise is the landing of a joint assault force of more than 800 military personnel at various coastal sites in the area of ​​the maneuvers. A total of 45 ships are involved in training maneuvers.

Of comments about the course of the exercises of the American command of naval forces in Europe:

Combining forces from different countries for joint exercises demonstrates how our alliance and its partners are ready to solve any unforeseen tasks.

It’s interesting who is the fast-producer of B-52 mines or Russian air defense systems. I put it on air defense - they’ll pinpoint and send sappers before pin @ s fly up

Can we also conduct exercises on US mining of landmines 40 miles from their coast?

And can conduct preventive deep-sea bombing in areas of flooding of chemical weapons, in order to destroy American mines? It is desirable in the North Sea.

[Simple]

At the bottom of the Baltic Sea lie 267 thousand tons of bombs, shells and mines, flooded after the end of World War II. And in them - more than 50 thousand tons of war poisoning.
In the north, no. Everything in the Baltic.
Enough to bury all of Europe, though our European part.

Theoretically, under the guise of exercises, the required number of mines is placed, the planes calmly return to the base. Or submarines are used. The reaction of Russia after the fact: "And then we will put the Iskanders in Kaliningrad." For the hundredth time ...
Not funny, no?
An adequate answer, in my opinion, would be the exercises of the Northern Fleet in the Caribbean, with the launch of training ICBMs.

[R-22]

and setting mines

[Dam]

I like your enthusiasm, but everything is much more complicated. Putting mines is much easier than removing them later. Outlines of the exercises looms in future war. NATO will lock the Baltic Fleet. We will try to take the north of Norway and Iceland to cross the sea routes for the supply of soldiers and weapons to Europe

[behemot]

no matter how new, lock up our fleet in the Baltic.
It is necessary to train near NATO bases. Oh --- are Americans

Naturally! We can’t screw them from the ocean zone - Carriers, then no, no! Accordingly, the strategy of locking our coast guard fleet is option No. 1 for the mattress and the floor. Everything is logical, and their teachings only confirm this.

[Finches]

They are fulfilling the tasks of the blockade of certain areas, in particular the naval base and infantry battalion, and especially of our fleet! All the same, the Supreme needs to decide and something to order the Russian fleet in the Caribbean to stir up ... Let our sailors feel the difference between our northern military operations and their tropics!

Something seems to me that from the time of past wars nothing new in military thought appeared in the minds of Western strategists. They are also trying to clog our Baltic Fleet in their bases.
Only now it all always ended badly for the "miners".

this will be the best signal to our western partners

Can you imagine the difference in flight time from Warsaw to Moscow and from us to Washington? And so already thinking of time is minuscule ... It will be a shame if we destroy the planet because of an absurd accident. It's time for everyone to think, and so will the hamburger eaters.

This is a type of training, a demonstration of opportunities. But it’s real - at night, from a bulk carrier, on FVK or on recommended routes, and in areas where there is no map of false contacts. And cheaply, and angrily (high mine-lifting capacity), and high accuracy of the setting, and high secrecy, unless, of course, there is intelligence about the idea of ​​setting up the MLM in the area of ​​responsibility of the naval base.

I think during the threatened period he will not reach the place of discharge.

The American Mk 62 Quickstrike Ground Bomb Non-Contact Mines are a conversion kit for the Mk 80 series bomb mines (500, 1000 and 2000 caliber calibres). Converted mines equipped with the appropriate TDD (Target Detection Device) fuse block are dropped from low-altitude aircraft suspensions similar to aerial bombs. For the installation of Quickstrike mines, the Boeing F / A-18 carrier-based fighter aircraft and the US Navy Lockheed P-3C base patrol aircraft, as well as the US Air Force Rockwell B-1B and Boeing B-52H strategic bombers, are routinely used.

In the Quickstrike-J variant, the mine is supplemented by an inertial-satellite correction module, essentially borrowed from the JDAM GBU-31 guided bombs, which can dramatically increase the accuracy of the mine setting.

The Mk 64 Quickstrike-J mine is carried out by converting the 84 lb Mk 2000 bomb in two versions - Mk 64-J Mod 0, using the standard MK 57 TTD proximity fuse unit, available in the US Navy in large quantities, and in the Mk 64-J version Mod 3 with a new Mk 71 TTD proximity fuse unit (details not disclosed). The same fuses are used in the "traditional" Mk 62 Quickstrike mines. It is reported that the tests of Mk 64 Quickstrike-J mines showed that their CEP of setting at a given point on the seabed does not exceed 6 meters, which is "unprecedented" accuracy. The tests were carried out by dropping from a B-52H bomber.

The GBU-62 Quickstrike-ER is another new variant of the high-precision mineshell mine, which is a 500-pound Mk 82 bomb converted into a mine, additionally equipped with the Australian Winged JDAM-ER correction and planning module. The Quickstrike-ER discharge range reaches several tens of kilometers, which allows you to drop mines without entering the enemy’s air defense zone, not to mention a significant increase in the stealth

in fact, they can put mines at the exit of Baltiysk without fear of the S-300

Something you have so reduced the capabilities of C-300 and directly raised to heaven the capabilities of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kit

Bombs equipped with the JDAM kit are sent to the target with an integrated inertial guidance system paired with an improved GPS receiver, providing them with an announced range of 15 nautical miles (28 km) from the drop point. The value of the CVO shown in the tests is 11 meters.

[tlauicol]

But what will you do when the planes defile without violating the sea border? Knock it down?

and mines may already lie in the sea channel

C-300PS available in this area with a launch range of 5В55РX 90 km missiles with the use of planning munitions are not capable of hitting carrier aircraft. C-400 with the existing 48Н6DM missiles with a launch range of 250 km is really able to get them. At the moment, databases in this region carry 2 Zdn C-400.

Fly sometime ... And so normal, our air defense trained on real goals!

[Turkestan]

Anti-ship mines are installed 40 miles from the Russian Navy base. THIS IS NOT JOKING ALREADY. Someone will not give a guarantee that discarded TRAIN mines, not military ones. And if we proceed from the worst case scenario, that is, the BATTLE mines, then they can stay on the bottom of the sea for a long time in sleep mode and on day X get into a combat situation creating discomfort for this naval base of the Russian Navy

[Bath]

I also thought about it and wrote welcome comrade

[BOB044]

We need to make sure that on B-52 radars they understand what happened to them too. What happened to the destroyer Donald Cook in the Black Sea when our Bastions took him in sight. That is not all so easy and simple for them.

[Reserve buildbat]

From a commentary on the progress of the exercises of the US naval command in Europe:

They had an unexpected task only in Finland. And the way they "coped" with it perfectly shows the real combat value of these "warriors".

Photos of the American strategic bomber Boeing B-52H Stratofortress, which made a flight over the Baltic Sea on June 9, 2016 during the ongoing NATO exercises BALTOPS 2016 and Saber Strike, in an escort of 12 tactical fighters of four states - two Eurofighter Typhoon fighters of the German Air Force, two Lockheed Martin fighters Polish Air Force F-16C / D Fighting Falcon, four Lockheed Martin Fighter F-16C / US Air Force Fighting Falcon Falcon and four Swedish Air Force Saab JAS-39C / D.http://bmpd.livejournal.com/1956209.html
If only they could roll a barrel over all of them and shoot unprofessionally in one gulp at the anti-aircraft missile regiment. Isn't that right?

Why did they bet from the strategist? Do they have normal mine planners? This is the first thing. Secondly, I wouldn't be surprised if they "lose" a few of them while collecting mines. Well, like "fell through the bottom."

[Ros 56]

Of course, we can say and write whatever we want, but serious decisions are made by the General Staff and the Commander-in-Chief. And their decisions, in turn, depend on their political position. And their political position is determined by a number of factors about which we have no idea. But we can roughly determine this not by their words, but by their deeds, well, by the standard of living of the majority of the population and by the reaction to aggression towards us by our "partners" such as the United States and Europe. I personally think so.
