Four Russian Tu-22M3s flew towards NATO squadron in the Black Sea

31

On the eve of the large-scale military exercises "Caucasus-2020", which will be held in the south of the Russian Federation at the end of September, NATO is forming a grouping of warships in the Black Sea region. Destroyers, reconnaissance ships, as well as support vessels of the North Atlantic military bloc have already passed the straits. Four Russian Tu-22M3 missile-carrying bombers flew towards the Alliance squadron.

The planes took off from the Shaikovka air base and headed for the Black Sea. They are supported by an A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft that took off from an airbase in Krymsk.



The HMS Enterprise (H88), a hydrographic support vessel for mine action and amphibious assault, entered the Black Sea on 16 September. It will soon be followed by the USNS Yuma (T-EPF-8) high-speed catamaran of the US Navy. Earlier, the French reconnaissance ship Dupuy de Lôme (A759) and the US missile destroyer (DDG-80) USS Roosevelt proceeded to the Black Sea.

The Americans demonstrate their support for Ukraine and allocate forces and means for this, which provide them with advantages over the armies of other countries: strategic reconnaissance weapons, special operations forces, the most powerful type of aviation and means of support. The US Armed Forces will act in conjunction with the Armed Forces of Ukraine - we can talk about working off and, to some extent, about a joint operation to intimidate and contain Moscow

- said political scientist from Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich.

      The "partners" will work out the star raid. I think there will be many "unprofessional actions".

        Ours methodically began to practice the "meeting" of partners in the World Cup. Competently - along the lines of the task: on the long-distance - MRA on the control center from the A-50A, then BRAV will work, well, the cherry on the cake, apparently, will be a 3M54 strike from ship carriers. And most importantly, there is no need to look for the strength to designate the enemy. Yes

      And I sort of read that on the Tu-22 they hung 5 Daggers on board? If it is true, then he - here he is - a reason to test our Daggers at work!

        The Tu-22M3 can take on board four Dagger anti-ship missiles, and the MiG-31K only one such missile, one such hypersonic missile is guaranteed to be enough to destroy any destroyer, tanker, frigate, and two or three such missiles are enough to destroy an aircraft carrier.

          Mass media give up to 4 "Daggers".
          And in total it is possible to "load" into it - 6 into the drum and 4 on the external suspension nodes (such as X-35U), or 12 tons of "cast iron". But such "heavy" ones as the Kh-22, Kh-32, usually 3 units each, so that the radius does not decrease and the maneuverability is maintained without overloading the vehicle.

      The homing heads on the dagger are primitive IK. The image of the bridge, the runway, the positions of contrasting targets such as howitzers, it is still capable of capturing, if there is no minimal opposition. The ship, of course, will not capture, any curtains with IR blockers will make her blind. The TU-22 was not tested with the Dagger, it flew with the Kh-22. I doubt that it is possible to hang four daggers on the TU-22. The MIG-31, with the weapon removed, can barely accelerate one missile to give it additional speed, and for the TU-22, four Daggers will be too heavy.
      For aiming, the Dagger is reduced to a speed at which modern AA defenses can easily shoot it down, like its counterpart Iskander. All the screams that the Dagger is sinking hundreds of aircraft carriers and destroyers, the usual PR about mega-wunderwallows. Suitable for stationary purposes, but no more.

          And didn't they surrender, after adopting the Dagger? The Americans wanted to surrender after the Khibiny on the Su-24, but something prevented them. But now is a very convenient opportunity.

          Well, it's obvious! Khibiny, which has no analogues in the world of electronic warfare, burned all the electronics of the destroyer Donald Cook. After that, in the Romanian port, the entire team resigned from the Navy. This was the first bell. And after the Dagger, which has no analogues in the world. The entire US Navy resigned or surrendered to the mercy of the winner. And if any of the amerikosy rock the boat, then we will incinerate them with Peresvet, put Peresvet on the Tu-160 and there is no aircraft carrier, evaporated.

        No need to compare a modern rocket with a club! dagger guidance: INS with the possibility of adjusting the glonas system, Airborne AWACS guidance, Optical seeker. Why time !?

          And how, interestingly, the INS and Glonas will aim the rocket at a moving ship? It will hit the airfield over the bridge, but no more. Optical, or rather IR head, but very primitive, not like on Jewelin. It will not hit the ship, and if the ship releases the cloud, then even more so without a chance. It is written for the putriots that she drowns aircraft carriers in batches.
          Drum for conventional cruise missiles, Dagger will not fit into the drum. Look at the size X-22 on the external sling of the TU-160. There was no firing with a Dagger from the Tu-160. The dagger on the TU-160 does not make sense, an ordinary cruise missile hits farther and goes at a low altitude, that is, it is more difficult to detect and shoot down and they (conventional cruise missiles) interfere more.

            I had to finish a military school, then I would know how. Back in the USSR, long-range anti-ship missiles such as Garnet, Basalt, Vulcan could be guided and corrected using long-range aviation and space satellites.

              If I graduated from the Military School, then I would have become dull, like a tarpaulin boot, or I would have gotten drunk, like most retirees. This fate has passed me.
              They (missiles) were not corrected by satellites and aircraft and did not distribute targets among themselves. And the space satellites (system), called "Legend", only conducted reconnaissance of enemy ships and could not direct anything to the ship. Rather, it was not target designation to the rocket so that it would hit the center of the ship, but simply satellites reported to the Navy headquarters and ships that the enemy ships were there, but not to the rocket. The satellites were terribly expensive and operated in orbit for 45 days. There were few of them, because they were expensive and they did not look after all the oceans. Because of which they are no longer launched.

                    You are so illiterate that you do not know that all anti-ship missiles have a combined guidance system for a long time, but you are a big fan of speculating about hazing and drunkenness in the army. There is no more mess in the army than in any locality. By the way, personally, I do not smoke or drink, and I dare say that there are many like me.

            How much do you know about Ukrainian politicians and scribblers, some kind of Bebiki. Are these names listed in the Prigozhinsky manuals? No, in fact, an ordinary Russian man crawls on the Internet and memorizes (writes down) the names of Ukrainian politicians, military men or hacks. Is this your unusual hobby?
            Well, you will definitely come in handy everywhere, cannon fodder is still in the price. You will receive a lot of money, but not for long. I can advise you to go to the Wagnerites, they will last for three months, and then, if you are smart enough to run away, and not run away, then until the first serious battle, and then pick out what is left of you from the sand.
