The United States does not stop the fact that, according to a well-known statement of Khrushchev, "Europe, as a match, will burn in the first five minutes of a nuclear war." The main military strategic task of Washington in the 21st century - the construction of a layered global missile defense system - should be basically solved by the beginning of the 2030s.

If Ukraine joins NATO by then, the heavy armament of the alliance can be located in 400 kilometers from the capital of our Motherland. At the same time, it is likely that missile defense facilities will be located there, negotiations on this account have been under way since 2007.

Around the middle, at the latest at the end of 2030, the still only superpower, gradually but steadily losing its power, may, trying to regain world domination, deliver the first disarming strike to our strategic nuclear forces primarily from Europe. And then try to level the retaliatory strike by means of a global missile defense system.

Our strategy to prevent such a situation now comes down to the fact that in the event of a global confrontation, in addition to exchanging blows from the strategic nuclear forces, we get involved in a war in a European theater, without any further threat to the United States.

Eight or ten SSBNs that are now being commissioned can be destroyed by a sophisticated PLO (anti-submarine defense) of a potential enemy, the strategic bombers Tu-95 and Tu-160 must be constantly kept in the air off the coast of the United States, which is extremely expensive and practically unrealistic. The ocean fleet, which could be there the whole year round, has not been created yet, our naval bases in the American part of the world are absent.

The usual build-up of strategic nuclear forces, standard weapons, even the most advanced ones like the “Status-6” (more in detail, “Necessary and sufficient”) does not completely prevent the danger. First, the United States will have analogues. Secondly, the Europe under their control will still host dual-use missile defense systems. The first signs of this policy are the operational missile defense areas in Romania and Poland.

Exotic Scenarios - Using Climate and Geophysical weapons type of volcanic eruption in the Yellowstone Reserve, underwater explosions in areas of oceanic faults along the shores of North America (“Nuclear Special Forces”) - too adventurous, and most importantly - unpredictable in consequences. In the light of recent events in Syria, where the Western community simply puts wands at us, covering the treachery of the Turks and imitating the fight against the IS prohibited in Russia, it can be stated that the military-political power of the Russian Federation is clearly not enough to force the US to stop its subversive activities to change undesirable for them regimes, the seizure of natural resources and the deployment of global missile defense elements in Europe.

Caribbean precedent

We need, without getting involved in the European confrontation and the disastrous new arms race for the country, to find an inexpensive but effective way of influencing the consciousness of the American nation itself rather than the overseas leadership.

Dry cargo ship "Goodbye Montana"


It should be noted that in the historical confrontation between the two superpowers in the second half of the twentieth century there was a precedent when, with some adventurous policies of the Soviet leadership, the problem of deploying US nuclear missiles in Europe was still solved. This is the Caribbean crisis. When the USSR attempted to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba, panic arose among the population of the southern states of the United States, and the American leadership was forced to negotiate with our country and remove nuclear missiles from Europe and Turkey.

After more than 50 years of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to solve a similar problem again. The Caribbean crisis revealed one feature of the US, let's call it demogeographic: more than 75 percent of their population lives in the 500-mile proximity to the ocean coastline with a total length of about ten thousand kilometers. The main production facilities, political and intellectual centers and the corresponding infrastructure are also located there. And if the Russian Federation, in response to threats of deploying near and medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe under the cover of missile defense elements, can demonstrate the ability to deploy such weapons near the US ocean coast, then a crisis situation is unlikely to arise at all.

The current geopolitical position of Russia will most likely not allow for the prompt deployment of nuclear missiles in friendly countries of Central and Latin America, as opposed to the United States. Even if we create that in the near future is extremely problematic, the ocean navy, its connections without air cover, cannot threaten the American coast. The construction of full-fledged aircraft carriers, about which the controversy has been going on for the last decade, will drag on indefinitely and simply destroy the country history creation and combat use of the French atomic aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle").

But there is a solution. It consists in the creation of a new type of naval armaments to which the main probable enemy cannot threaten us due to the disparate demogeographic features. The bulk of the population, production facilities, political and intellectual centers of the Russian Federation are located in the depths of the Eurasian subcontinent, and the entry of NATO aircraft-carrying strike groups into the Black, Baltic and Barents Seas will be easily parried by the Russian Armed Forces. The coast of the Far East and the Arctic Ocean is inhabited only slightly. We are talking about super-heavy ekranoplans of dual use: aircraft carriers and multifunctional combat vehicles or on the same transport platform with one hundred percent mobilization resource.

324 knot on the Northern Sea Route

A specific study of the possibility of implementing quite complex, but completely solvable, technical problems for the construction of such weapons was carried out back in the 60s. This is the topic of ENBS (WIG - carriers of the group of combat aircraft), which was worked out in the Rostislav Alekseev design bureau. Around the same time, Robert Bartini put forward the theory of intercontinental land transport, which proved the cost-effectiveness of ultra-long intercontinental sea transportation with ekranoplans, proposed the aircraft-carrying VTOL-2500, tested two types of mock-ups and built an experimental sample of VVA-14.

Our engineering community made a study, taking into account modern advances in the field of theater, structural materials, transport NPIs, etc., of an ekranoplans of the largest theoretically possible carrying capacity. We are ready to provide a technical rationale for such a multi-functional platform (application number 20161105207). In connection with dual assignment - both military, including with the possibility of launching ICBMs from anywhere in the oceans, and civilian, for example, to put into orbit blocks for interplanetary expeditions weighing up to 200 tons from the equator, and with possible cooperation with China countries concerned, the total cost of creating and operating such a system would not be an unbearable burden for the national budget.

The civilian version of ekranoplans is supposed to be used primarily on the lines of Southeast Asia - Europe through the Northern Sea Route, in which China and European countries are primarily interested in increasing the traffic flow. Calculations show that for the transportation of 50 million tons of cargo, and the need for such volumes is projected by the 2020 year, the Murmansk-Shanghai line will require 90 – 100 of UL class vessels with a deadweight of 65 thousand tons. At the same time, the transition by the Northern Sea Route with the average speed of the 13,4 node will take about 23 days. For the transportation of the same volume of cargo by heavy ground-surface wig 10 thousands of tons with a speed of 324 node (600 km / h) will require no more than 18 – 20 units, and the transition time will not exceed 24 hours. It should be noted that the potential cargo traffic on this route - more than 650 million tons, now passes through the Suez Canal.

Sea walks with rockets

One of the main common design decisions is the use of specialized cargo spaces of the same type inside the center-section of an ekranoplana platform, equipped with several loading and unloading systems. In the military version there can be airplanes, various combat systems, in the civilian - standard sea containers and other cargoes, including dimensional ones. At the same time, they will be able to automatically move around the decks and holds, descend into the center section and move up.

In the event of a threatened situation deemed critical for the emergence of a nuclear standoff, both combat and transport W / O screens armed with TNW (this does not violate any agreements on limiting strategic nuclear forces) can be deployed to the shores of the main potential enemy in a few hours, which will prevent any snatch.

Calculations show that in peacetime near the coast of the United States, it is necessary to keep from two to six groups of super-heavy ENBS, each consisting of two - four winged screens with different combat functionality, from anti-submarine to anti-missile, and the total number of combat aircraft to 80 units. The main task of these groups is to neutralize the SNF located in three US states: Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota, as well as the naval base with the SSBNs based on them. In a threatened position, super-heavy ekranoplanes are capable of delivering several thousand Club system containers to the shores of the aggressor within a day and a half.

We are ready to report on the essence of our proposals to the Committee on Defense Issues of the Federation Council, all interested agencies and organizations with preliminary conceptual elaboration by experts invited by them, because we consider it extremely important to strengthen the defense capability of our Motherland primarily in terms of forcing the United States to abandon the deployment of global missile defense in Europe. Civilian use of this transport system will save huge amounts of money, making it possible to abandon the construction of the new Panama Canal, provide year-round “northern delivery”, speedy delivery of Far Eastern fishery products to the European part of the country and much more.

          WIG is good.
          From the contents of the article I have thoughts about the need to develop this type of weapon, but.

          With all due respect, of course.
          An article from the category - but if Russia had a powerful laser gun with which you can shoot from space, this would help deter the aggressor.

          No brainer that ekranoplana is great. It is clear that having your missile defense is great. It is clear that having from 3 to 6 aircraft carriers is also great - it's all clear. And now let's figure out how much it will be built, and how much it will cost. And who pays at all.
          The author addresses the reader, in this case, to us.

          We are ready to report on the essence of our proposals to the Committee on Defense Issues of the Council of the Federation, all interested departments and organizations with preliminary conceptual elaboration by the experts invited by them

          Are you still here I thought you already reported to the Defense Committee.
          This does not add joy as it still needs to be embodied.
          And so it turns out - the article is a declaration. We can do super-wunderwaffle. Well, we can do a lot. The question is whether we will.

          Super-catamaran (ekranoplan) is no secret for a long time. Back in Soviet times they traveled around. Then they threw it, and then they did not revive the project.

            Support!

            Firstly, the author misses the main element of the nuclear triad - ground ballistic missiles. Formally, they are more vulnerable than aviation and submarines, but this is not so.
            Many years ago, he spoke with a former officer of the Strategic Rocket Forces and made this argument. He laughed.
            I don’t know why I bought it, for that I sold it (not the Motherland))))))

            Actually, according to him, in order to incapacitate a launching mine, a direct hit of a 100-150 ktn warhead is needed. Well, who will wait? A flight time of at least 30 minutes, are we sleeping? it's funny.
            Farther. Children's task. We have a hundred missiles, how to hide them? Just! Dig 500 mines and stuff the blenders there.
            You can invent a lot here, but the principle itself - why invent a winged aircraft with strategic missiles, when there is a BZHRK (revive?), Hypersonic cruise missiles are being developed ???
            Well, an eranoplan will come in handy somewhere))))

            more than 75 percent of their population lives in a 500-mile proximity to the ocean coastline with a total length of about ten thousand kilometers.

            it is enough to detonate several nuclear warheads near the coast without entering any missile defense or air defense zone and there will be no one to steal with us, it will wash away everyone (it all depends on the charge power), which

        Interestingly, the author read this nonsense somewhere or invented it himself? Most likely, for the article is teeming with similar mistakes. Only one ekranoplan all in white, everything else in brown.
        Such thinking is demonstrated either by university teachers or kindergarten teachers. There is nothing to do with real life.

            The fact of discussing a nuclear strike is surprising. As if there would be no response. But in fact, the wind rose shows that radiation contamination will spread from west to east, gradually covering the entire northern hemisphere, and after the decade, the southern one.

              smile This they declare. And when such powerful charges are detonated, such a round dance of elementary particles dances that the induced radiation makes it radioactive and that in life did not suffer from such diseases, even in the most terrible manifestations of its isotopes. As a matter of fact, you will already be on the drum whether you get a portion of neutrons after a rain on Thursday, or drink milk, in which these same neutrons, brought the electrons of matter to the craziness of alpha radiation.

                The neutron range in the lower atmosphere is no more than 1,5 km. The optimal detonation heights of 100-kt, 1-mt and 10-mt nuclear charges are located above 1,5 km. Therefore, there will be no induced radiation in these cases.

                Below 1,5 km (approximately at 800 meters) is the optimal height for detonation of nuclear weapons - the so-called neutron munitions of low power of the order of 10 kt for incapacitating enemy living forces, including on board armored vehicles and in field shelters. They do cause induced radioactivity in the soil, which can pass into soil water. But the lifetime of the newly formed isotopes is on average one year.

                TNW will be used in the zone of attack of strike groups, so the local population after the end of hostilities will be able to temporarily migrate to other territories.

                  I understand your considerations, as well as the motives of the source. But let's look at things realistically. Neutrons are just one entry in the house book of radioactive contamination. Moreover, more water vapor inhibits their propagation. In an environment of low humidity, they are much more agile. And isotopes, they are different. The attenuation of gamma-ray emitters is still understandable, particles with such an energy must be constantly heated by something, there is no heating, no particles. Beta is also pulled on the eye, protons calm down faster in a disturbed nucleus, but here is alpha, radiation of "calm" energies, a slow killer. Moreover, all types of radiation lead to a domino effect, when one induced radiation gives rise to another, as in Chernobyl after so many years. Moreover, radioactive particles form fairly stable chemical compounds.

                    In general, I do not mind, but only for the offensive strike group.

                    If you wish, you can completely get rid of the induced radioactivity by detonating any nuclear charges at an altitude of at least 1,5 km above the surface of the earth.

                    10 CT is half of Hiroshima or Nagasaki, non-radiation damaging factors (light radiation and shock wave) will be at a sufficient level.

      At the beginning of the year, there were several articles about the prospects for the development of ekranoplanes. Unfortunately, there were more skeptical opinions. But the fact remains that the enormous combat load combined with high speed and ultra-low altitude makes the ekranoplanes practically not vulnerable to anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons. The crashes of the ekranoplanes during the tests and the subsequent curtailment of the program for their creation during the Soviet era coincided with the period of the collapse of the country. Therefore, we can confidently say that these events are interconnected and are the result of one of the US sabotage and subversive programs. I think now in Russia there are many agents of influence that still put sticks in the wheels of many promising projects. Traitors in the near-scientific environment of managers very often use the fact of the lack of a global counterpart as an argument for discrediting.

        Do not have to. The problem with all airplanes is that every kilogram counts, the ekranoplane suffers less from this problem, which means it is possible to achieve normal radiation for the crew. A nuclear power plant can provide tremendous range. In the 60s, this was developed for strategic aviation, but everything came up against the rad-protection of the crew.

            But he moves using the screen effect and not at such a high speed, which means on "low throttle".

            airplanes fly on airplanes that do not use the screen effect, on the contrary they fight with it so as not to interfere with landing on the airfield strip

            ekranoplan’s cruising speed is almost equal to its take-off

            if an ordinary low-wing aircraft with a wing not optimized for the ground effect is trying to make it fly on "low gas" over water, ice or tundra, then it will hook the wing on irregularities

    From an engineering point of view, a flying ship called an ekranoplan is a dead end branch of evolution. For a ship - not strong enough, for an airplane - too heavy. At operating speed - it is dangerous for the crew, a meeting with the ocean wave at a speed of 300 km or more - instant death for the ship and crew. This is a car for rivers and lakes, possibly closed seas. But not for the ocean.

    And giant ekranoplanes that will be invulnerable to the enemy?
    His suggestions on ekranoplans are more like promoting his ideas. And taking into account the fact that these devices will have to be developed from scratch, what big money it will cost and most importantly - lack of time, and not the fact that ekranoplanes will be effective. They must have powerful defense weapons, or they will need to send half a fleet to protect them.

    In connection with the dual purpose - both military, including with the possibility of launching ICBMs from anywhere in the World Ocean, and civilian, for example, to put into orbit blocks for interplanetary expeditions weighing up to 200 tons from the equator,
    I also want to simultaneously go fishing on an ekranoplane and launch something into orbit. smile But seriously ... What dimensions should an ekranoplan be in order to accommodate everything that is necessary to launch launch vehicles equal in power to the Energia launch vehicle? The idea of ​​an ekranoplan seems to me promising, but ... not so much!

      The main advantage of an ekranoplan in front of an airplane is that, due to the screen, it can lift a significantly greater weight with the same power ratio. And there are already space launch projects from airplanes. I am not a specialist, so I can’t say which is more profitable; the satellite’s launch from our plane or the launch from the ekranoplan at the equator, but that the ekranoplan will lift the rocket is for sure. And maybe not just one. And militarily, not everything is so bad. After all, he does not have to constantly move, flew in - sat, flew to another place, flew home, returned again. And if there are several such ekranoplanes ... Of course, it is easier to detect them than a submarine, for example, from a satellite, and another tactic is needed here. The main advantage of the ekranoplan is speed. Not a single ship will catch up with him, but he will cope with airplanes. In addition, no one has ever abolished submarine duty. It is necessary that the United States does not have illusions that it is possible to attack Russia and not get answers.

    And the whole world does not know about ekranoplanes. Alekseev had ideas about the CCP, and they were brilliant. I also remember reading about ships with a small waterline area, there were also very interesting results. There were ideas in the USSR on the movement of the body in air "lubrication", there were a lot of things. But for some reason none of this is presented as a panacea for everything at once.
    If you really want to fly 30 meters above the water, this can be done by Tu-160, and even IL-76. But they can fly a little higher in the event of a storm. Or maybe quite high.

    The ekranoplanes probably need to be built in miniature and conduct all kinds of experiments and confessions in this area (science does not stand still), perhaps this topic has not completely exhausted itself ... but the state has no means to build giants that have not been fully studied and tested, and those that need to be used with great benefit.

    at a speed of 324 knots (600 km / h)
    the screen effect (increase in lift, decrease in aerodynamic drag) is inversely proportional to the flight height above the surface (the higher the lower) and the flight speed (the faster the lower the effect). For a hang glider with its low flight speed and large chord of the wing, the screen effect is felt up to a height of 10 meters. At such speeds as in the article, this is not so much a screen effect, but the lifting force of a wing, as in aviation. But the point of application of the lifting force differs from the point of application of the screen effect (it moves forward), this is already a screen flight.
    Due to the increased lifting force - the wing of an ekranoplan is less than that of an aircraft of the same weight, but the load on the wing is greater, since the same mass relies on a smaller area. Therefore, the wing needs to be strengthened, and the weight savings of decreasing wing area are reduced.

    The ekranoplan's niche is relatively cheap (more expensive than a ship) and relatively slow (not faster than a helicopter) cargo delivery over the sea or flat surface. Due to profitability - it is possible far enough (comparable to an airplane). Delivery of urgent cargo to Syria, Transnistria, Crimea, to a group of ships in the Pacific Ocean, etc. it could be within their power, and they can’t close the airspace, since formally they are ships, and the straits are open for them. On the other hand, mass production of transport aircraft may turn out to be cheaper, even taking into account further operation.

    You cannot start building huge ekranoplanes without creating medium and small ones, without gaining experience in construction and operation, without preparing pilots, without first investing in hangars, piers and take-off strips, without allocating flight zones for them for land, without regulating them legally.

    Such a "hurray" article is more likely to harm ekranoplanes, and not popularize them.

      An ekranoplane is cheaper than a ship, the wing is more complicated for an airplane, because it is of a large scope.

      EP is essentially a flying boat which leaves the screen effect only in exceptional cases

        Faster than a ship, but more expensive than a ship.
        The wing of an ekranoplan may be more complicated than that of an airplane, but smaller in area and length. End washers and flaps are required, or large flaps to increase the screen effect, as well as a large wing chord.
        Wing aerodynamics more difficult than the plane! It should fly strictly parallel to the surface, and when you leave the screen effect (jump up), the points of application of forces change, and this should be taken into account when designing and piloting.

            WIG is not a subspecies of a flying boat.
            A flying boat, and generally airplanes do not fly on the screen effect, it is harmful to airplanes and they are struggling with it by raising the wing up, increasing the landing gear, and reducing the wing chord.
            During the Second World War, the unexplored screen effect destroyed many planes (on aircraft carriers, as well as bonding during landing), but the story is known that one English pilot, on the contrary, was saved thanks to the screen effect - he reached the coast with a black engine (a small speed contributed to this).
            Aerodynamics changes this way - when landing with the flaps extended, at a low speed, the screen effect shifts the point of application of the lifting force backwards, if the center of mass is in front, then the plane will bite its nose and hood.

              Aircraft and ordinary flying boats can fly and fly until they go off the screen to a height or land. If they constantly try to walk on the screen, then with their wing of large elongation they will fall apart due to the chatter. WIG can also leave the screen, but this will affect the economy.

        Already studied, several books. There, on the example of Orlyonok, everything is painted.
        Profitability in comparison with the plane will be:
        1. due to lower speed and, accordingly, lower resistance. Screw engines are more economical, for example, the Tu-95 and Tu-160, and better for low speeds.
        2. Due to the screen effect - the surface does not allow vortices to form behind the ekranoplan, reducing aerodynamic drag.
        3. The wing is smaller, lighter than an airplane with the same lift.
        4. If instead of the tail unit like in the Eaglet, in the style of the Tu-154, another horizontal stabilization mechanism is used, for example, the front automatically-controlled wings, like the Tu-144 or Su-34, then there will still be a gain.

        The ekranoplan is categorically contraindicated bullying of the nose, an increase in the angle of attack - there will be an accident. The front wings should immediately lower their nose automatically. At WIG Alekseev’s stabilizer is raised high to exclude the screen effect and has a large area, as well as shifted back relative to the center of mass (more lever). When the nose is pulled up, the tail will go down, and the screen effect will begin to push the stabilizer up, aligning the ekranoplan. Now it’s enough to apply high-speed microprocessor control and the stabilizer resistance can be reduced.

    But the fact remains that the huge combat load, combined with high speed and ultra-low altitude, makes the ekranoplanes practically not vulnerable to anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons.

    The most widespread argument of WIG supporters. Although if you consider ... "Lun"
    had a starting weight of 380 tons. Of which 140 were fuel. Carried 6 anti-ship missiles at a speed of 500 km / h at a maximum range of 2000 km. Any of our strategists has almost twice the speed and with the same fueling would be a hundred tons lighter and carry a combat load 5 to 6 times more. And it would not depend on the weather since the ekranoplan. In addition, the thesis about the invulnerability of ekranoplanes can be attributed to the beginning of the 80s, but not to the present. Current radars are already picking up targets against the background of the underlying surface at a distance of 600 km. And do not detect a target with a wing area of ​​550 square meters ... Well, you have to be either drunk in the insole, or blind.

      I read that the flight of the ekranoplan could go up to five points of excitement at sea, with a wave height of up to two meters. This is not very good weather. But this is a characteristic of a specific model of an ekranoplan, its strength inherent in TK and actually embodied.
      The lower the ekranoplan’s flight, the more economical it is. When designing, you can lay a flight height of 5 - 10 meters, but the size of the wing chord will be no less, and you will probably have to forget about profitability.
      If you need to urgently deliver cargo from the coast in the ocean for 1000-1500 km., Then at a speed of 350 km / h this is 3 - 5 hours of ekranoplan flight. The weather forecast should not change if it is bad - not flyable. In a zone of good weather we fly low, with increasing excitement - we move higher. The main thing is the ability to splash down near the ships, for example, to bring spare parts, doctors, and pick up the wounded.

Fervor of love (“The Leader of the Redskins” - this is from there) - this is what our opposition to American plans in Europe should be based on. It is necessary by all available means to bring to the notice of the parents of American children (both No. 1 and No. 2) that at present, according to the existing agreement, anti-missiles protect American soil in only one area in the Rocky Mountains, where launching sites for intercontinental missiles aimed at Russia are located. The rest of the territory is open for retaliation, and it would be foolish to doubt that a retaliation would not follow in extreme circumstances. You can supplement the information with photographs of the Japanese affected by the atomic bombing, which, as many Americans mistakenly think, was produced by the USSR. No need to deny.

      In addition to working along the eastern coast of the United States and the states of Oregon and California (Alaska will get it this way), Okaensky EPs can take advantage of the speed in different directions to attack any AUG anywhere in the ocean with no more than 2 AWACS in the air at a time , that is, even half the perimeter is not covered.
      The sinking of an aircraft carrier or its incapacitation by a fire on it is more than realistic even with an attack by a single ekranoplan, because the ECP can simply bypass these AWACS, detecting them by the radiation of their radar. The ES-2 "Hawkeye" has no speed advantage over the EP ...

      Further, having entered the radius of destruction, the ES launches its aircraft (or RCC) on the aircraft carrier, and at speed simply leaves the range of its carrier-based aviation. After the attack, he again enters the radius to pick up his surviving planes after the attack on the aircraft carrier. Therefore, the ekranoplane is simply not vulnerable to carrier-based aviation, and always has the initiative to attack.

      Tu-22 or Tu-160 can also attack AB, only go near not very far from the coast and suffer terrible losses as they would be without fighter escort.
      EP itself attacks AB with tactical aircraft (fighter), moreover, "airfield", which is more than able to fight the deck, because it surpasses it in flight characteristics.

      At the same time, everyone, even an aircraft-based ekranoplan, is ten times cheaper than an American aircraft carrier.

      Once the American B-36, Soviet TB-3, and American airships carried smaller planes (moreover, the TB-3 was successfully used over heavily covered air defense bridges in Romania, from which conventional bombers did not complete the task before incurring heavy losses), B-747 and An-225 were dragged by Burans and Shuttles, which is why the Ekranoplan, which, as an airplane, is only four times heavier and three times longer than the Mriya (with the same wing span), and two times lighter than the displacement BDK Ivan Gren "is supposedly not real and cannot?

    Strategists can't land on water, and ekranoplanes can refuel in flight? The same "Lun" had a speed of 500 km / h and a range of 2000 km. That is, its combat radius was about 800 km. During the entire "flight" he ate 140 tons of fuel. With this filling, the same TU-142/95 has an intercontinental radius. And besides, it can also refuel repeatedly in the air. Strategists really depend on the weather, but not as much as ekranoplanes. They had a limitation of 2 meters in wave height, which means a wind speed of 8 to 10 m / s. What, strategists don't fly in such a wind? But the ekranoplan cannot take off with such a wave.

    Maybe outwardly the same AN-225 does not look against the background of the VTOL-2500. But An flew, and Bartini's car remained in the "paper projects" section. Even VVA-14 remained in the unrealized section. He was not even released in a small series as "Eaglet" and he did not fly like "Lun".

    I read that the flight of the ekranoplan could go up to five points of excitement at sea, with a wave height of up to two meters. This is not very good weather. But this is a characteristic of a specific model of an ekranoplan, its strength inherent in TK and actually embodied.
    The lower the ekranoplan’s flight, the more economical it is. When designing, you can lay a flight height of 5 - 10 meters, but the size of the wing chord will be no less, and you will probably have to forget about profitability.
    If you need to urgently deliver cargo from the coast in the ocean for 1000-1500 km., Then at a speed of 350 km / h this is 3 - 5 hours of ekranoplan flight. The weather forecast should not change if it is bad - not flyable. In a zone of good weather we fly low, with increasing excitement - we move higher. The main thing is the ability to splash down near the ships, for example, to bring spare parts, doctors, and pick up the wounded.

    Exactly. Efficiency and supporters of ekranoplanes try not to mention. Maybe over time, something will be possible to achieve, increase the range, for example, to reach a radius of action of 1500-2000 km, maybe. But now you are considering a civilian version, and here everyone is about to put on almost any ICBMs on an ekranoplan. So you wrote that the ekranoplan could splash down next to the ship. Could. And if the excitement is such that the wave height is above the allowed limit for take-off? What then? Usually, they consider some specific tasks for them, but only under conditions favorable to the ekranoplan. It may be that under certain conditions it is more profitable to deliver an ekranoplane, but for the most part it loses to both the plane and the ship.

      The Germans have several pieces in the Baltic, the RCCs are like all small ones.
      Did you try to compare the carrying capacity of the EP and Tu-95?
      Maybe in flight, or maybe sitting on the water from a tanker or from a submarine.
      Lun is a small ekranoplan, lifts much more than a large Tu-95
      Strategists do not take off at any height. lol
      You are not in the subject, you simply "don't like" them. Or the State Department paid the money for groaning.
      EP is the only real threat with conventional weapons to the east coast (and the west, apart from the state of Alaska).
      Already even VVA-14 as a moon did not detail? laughing
      Do you think this aircraft designer survived he would not have mastered the SVVP-2500?

      He sits down just where there are no such waves, or he needs to be made big. Or, without sitting down, makes a message with a displacement ship by helicopter, tiltrotor or go VTOL.

      EP is a flying boat specialized in screen effect, what did they lose to someone when?

    What do you mean by greenhouses? The storm in the Caspian Sea is no worse than in the Black Sea, hydrogen sulfide, no. And Iran, in addition to the United States itself, is the only country in which there were and is F-14.

    The reference to Iran and its F-14 is not entirely clear. And the greenhouse conditions. Take-off at a wave height of more than 2 meters is prohibited. For example, landing on the shore, if he is in the boulders, he simply can not. If the ground is weak - it will get stuck (landing). So there are many but ...

    ... such will be in demand, but not huge.

    Eaglets seemed to have more of these.

    And were they in demand? Have you at least for all the years of their "exploitation" heard that they participate in exercises, to land troops during such exercises? As an experiment, yes, they could deliver equipment to the shore, but no one said how, being about 20-30 meters from the water's edge, they got to the water.
    And what they are experiencing now, EMNIP is "Burevestnik-24" may really be in demand because of its ability to be used in several guises at once. And again, this is in Yakutia, in specific conditions, at a distance of up to 600 km. He has a load of 6 people or 0,5 tons of cargo. EMNIP piston engines

      Allowable excitement depends on the size of the EA. In the sand is not bogged down. BDK about boulders will not break?

      Yes there were, but weren’t they? Everything is shown about the teachings on YouTube.

      "Burevestnik" is a pseudo-project, the video with its accident was painfully relished.

    Bullshit ... aircraft carriers are expensive, and SUPER heavy and aircraft-based ekranoplanes are cheap or something ...? where is the logic???

      In "details", not just in weight.

        If we proceed only from weight, then aircraft carriers now have a displacement of 11,5 thousand to 107 thousand tons (with nuclear power plants).
        The aircraft-supporting ekranoplan in this article is 2,5 thousand and ordinary airdrome aircraft can fly from it.
        The smallest AB costing 336 m. Dollars more than this EP 4,6 times. The ekranoplanes are built mainly by ship technology, which means it should cost (not at cost) in US rubles no more than 73 million dollars.
        It is a less what was it worth mend (rather than build) 3 pcs Tu-160 in 2013 for RUR3.4 billion (US $ 103M)
        Who does not like to count in dollars - divide the 5 billion rubles worth of the large landing craft "Ivan Gren" with a displacement of 5000 tons in half = 2,5 billion.
        Now tell me that Russia does not need an aircraft carrier or high-speed ocean transport for this or less money.
        At the same time, due to its own speed, such an EP is incomparably higher in combat efficiency compared to a conventional displacement aircraft carrier, cruiser or landing ship, and when used civilianly as a high-speed transoceanic transport, it has no competitors.
        If you need to get a visa to the USA, Canada or Australia even 1,5-2 times faster - fly with a subsonic Airbus or Boeing, whoever needed it even faster - flew supersonic Concordes ... When using electronic signatures with a much lower ticket price than only the "elite" (the cream of society), such as the one who flew Concordes across the Atlantic, for an ordinary passenger and on a subsonic plane, the price of a ticket to Argentina, Chile, South Africa or Australia is not high now.

        Therefore, it was easier in the USSR for Ludwig Robertovich Bartini in 1974, in spite of his age, to bang and do nothing, limiting himself to the release of some EP "Orlenkok" in a small series so that the people would not have unnecessary questions, as there is no such person - there are no ekranoplanes. Just like with an engineer sobravshimya to build a super-gun "Babylon" for the Iraqis ... Fortunately, he did not live in a closed city (sharazhka), where it would be very difficult to do. Then they also killed many people working on ekranoplanes, etc.

        Moreover, such an EP is not something unrealizable, it is half the size of "Ivan Gren".

        2,5 billion rubles, that is, half of the cost of "Ivan Gren" is for working Russians no more than a dollar or 70 rubles from the nose. Now compare how much you give to swindlers from housing and communal services every month ...

    Even the Eaglet is enough range to fly from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean, not like the Persian Gulf.
    5 Orlenkov with the support of the Su-27 would be enough to capture Bahrain or bring Qatar to its knees, capturing its ports and airfields, which would then be unloaded by the Airborne Forces and the Army.
    From the ekranoplan you can immediately land in large quantities heavy weapons, a transport plane will parachute 1-2 light tanks and that's it. The main 1-2, he can unload only on the already captured strip of the airfield.
    Whether you want American SSBNs in the Indian Ocean or strike the AUG, not just from Lun, but from Eaglet through the gate port on the move, a container with a depth charge or an anti-ship missile is "lost".
    The equipment for the ASG or the magnetic location of the submarine is simply located in the airborne compartment in the container. Buoys are thrown as if from an airplane or a low-cost station is operating. An onboard radar for working on any NK, and so this ekranoplan has.

    Before pulling troops to the borders of Russia, NATO should think: is there a chance to win? 1) Remain without oil and gas 2) they will be cut off by sea transportation, and this is hunger 3) oil and gas storages will be blown up, and how will their armored vehicles advance 4 ) all communications, computers, energy systems, a financial superstructure were destroyed by cyber attacks, because Russia has the best programmers, and in the West scientists are the emigrants of their Russia, they know a lot of secrets 5) Caliber, Iskander rockets 6) a very cold winter as a result of using geotectonic weapons overlaps golfs Rome by raising sea plit.I whatnot .Even without the use of strategic nuclear weapons.

    Indeed, than nobody needs to invest $ 40 billion in the construction of the Nicaraguan Canal, Russia is better off building 40, at least heavy, ekranoplanes with a deadweight of 10 thousand tons at a speed of 600 km / h.

      For that kind of money, they could be built more than 250 pieces, but in general the optimal size of electric power is 4 times less = 2,5 thousand tons
