Hypersonic "Daggers" withdrawn from the Kaliningrad region

February 15 2022 32

February 4th Appearance just a couple Russian MiG-31K fighters with hypersonic aviation missile systems 9-A-7660 "Dagger" (or X-47M2 "Dagger") at the Chernyakhovsk airfield in the Kaliningrad region done a lot of noise in the Baltic region and in the NATO bloc as a whole. For example, Polish experts even had to calm down unnecessarily agitated local community.

Since then, the countries of the Alliance have repeatedly accused Moscow of "aggressiveness" and "intimidation." In addition, monitoring resources also drew attention to the fact that in the period from February 7 to 13, the fighters of the “peace-loving” bloc, located in the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) with the Baltic Air Policing mission, took to the skies four times on alarm to carry out identification and escort of aviation of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation and the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy, performing transit flights in international (neutral) airspace over the Baltic Sea.

Thus, according to the Operativnaya Liniya Telegram channel, on February 8, four Russian Su-30 fighters underwent a similar procedure while flying from the Chernyakhovsk air base in the Kaliningrad region to one of the airfields of the Western Military District and a Tu-154 board of the Russian Defense Ministry, en route from the continental Russia into a Russian semi-exclave in the Baltic. On February 9, two MiG-31Ks and the aforementioned Tu-154 deserved close attention to themselves from NATO, performing a return flight from the Kaliningrad region to one of the ZVO bases and a pair of Su-35s accompanying the specified air group at the final stage of its route over the Baltic on approach to the area of responsibility of the Pulkovo Central Internal Affairs Directorate.

Thus, the MiG-31K, having spent only 5 days in the Kaliningrad region, were withdrawn back to the Soltsy airbase in the Novgorod region. It should be recalled that Russia has the full sovereign right to deploy its weapons anywhere on its territory.

  The crews of the MiG-31K, as well as their direct and immediate superiors, were clearly convinced that keeping aircraft with such an overall ammunition, on such a tiny patch, was only to prepare to disrupt the strike mission.

    According to your logic: to keep planes on a tiny patch, like an aircraft carrier, is simply insane.

      You are confusing a bakhar with Becher. Airfield patch, on the shot along
      and across artillery and HIMARS, the Kaliningrad bridgehead, and an aircraft carrier, protected under water, above water, and in the air, are not the same thing. An aircraft carrier does not stand passively in place, waiting for a strike. The airfield is stationary, with coordinates known in advance. This is known to every first-year student of the VUNTS VKS.

        I spoke about the security of Kaliningrad.
        And you, as always, pretend not to understand.
        Imagine that a land base is protected no worse than an aircraft carrier and you can’t get it out of the ground, it just doesn’t move, but this is not a big problem.
        
        No need to include Prince Myshkin.

        I can’t imagine. Since I carefully read the results of a comprehensive inspection of the DCBF and the Kaliningrad defensive (unfinished) region in June 2016. I recommend that you read it, there are materials on the network. According to the results of this check, they sent the Commander of the Fleet (DKBF) to a citizen, who managed to receive the order before the check. Many staff officers were also sent to civilian life, and not only them.
        Recently, they happily announced an increase in the tiny local aviation unit by as much as two Su-30SM2. Continue not to comment. It will be boring without you.

        In the case with the Kaliningrad defensive region, there was no radical positive change. The world gossips, and reality blows away the smoke of fraud. The region is not ready to receive and operate heavy aircraft with such limited maneuverability.

        In fact, a land protected patch (an unsinkable aircraft carrier) is always more reliable than any aircraft carrier group in the modern world. The location of any aircraft carrier group is tracked in real time and the chances of the AUG are always less than those of an echeloned spot on land. For Russia, the AUG is a bold and clumsy target, which, in the event of hostilities, is doomed, and even inferior in air defense and missile defense to the land, and even more so to the Russian anti-ship system. So no need to rumble booty. Why is the United States of America angry that it has lost (pumped with its Maidan) Crimea. And do not forget that Russia has the only network-centric air defense and missile defense system in the world.

        Above, we discussed the land airfield in the Kaliningrad region, which is being shot through along and across.
        At present, the Russian Armed Forces do not have the capabilities for reliable guaranteed tracking of the AUG. Yes, and in real time. The NGSH has neither modern reconnaissance aviation, nor the Liana SCC, nor an adequate satellite constellation.
        Crimea alone cannot plug up all the failures in air defense. There is no network-centric air defense and missile defense in Russia. There are not even modern AWACS and U systems. There are 5 obsolete A-50Us. There is no naval air reconnaissance at all. The similarity of Aegis, in the Russian version, is not even planned.

        Our system monitors the entire territory of Europe with all water bodies, and the AUG will not enter the Baltic Sea. They are not idiots, unlike some commentators. Yes, they are much puffed up cheeks, but nothing more. Now they are trying to save face. How cunningly they deployed a fake hype about the invasion of the ruin, they very competently hand over Banderlog. They have already collected their belongings from dill and handed over their delay to them for recycling, which the Bandera gang will not be able to use.

        From the Lithuanian side, from the Polish side, from the sea direction. From the air, from all sides. Aviation of the Western Military District and DCBF is represented by a pair of squadrons of mixed composition. Without AWACS and U complexes, without radar with AFAR. Artillery and MLRS NATO will attract after the destruction of the crews of the Iskander complexes by aircraft and cruise missiles.
        
        Move to Kaliningrad in peace.
        There will be no war between Russia and NATO.
        This is the usual internal political whipping up of military psychosis.
        And when Russia and Europe reconcile (this is natural and inevitable), Kaliningrad will turn into one of the richest cities in Russia.

        Chernyakhovsk Air Base is the air base of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy. It is a medium-sized interceptor airfield, listed as a nuclear bomber base, forty kilometers from the Polish border. The shelling of the base will mean the beginning of the war, without options. From what specifically, from what guns and from what place-distance are you going to fire at this airfield? A plane with a dagger is a means of first strike, when this plane takes off, no one in Poland and NATO is warned about its goals and objectives. Even if we assume that these 2 aircraft will be put out of action, well, 2 TU-22M3s with Daggers will arrive from another place and everything representing at least some danger will be cleaned up. Or Caliber will arrive, according to open sources, the maximum firing range of the 3M14 cruise missile from the composition of this complex, flying at subsonic speed, reaches about 2 thousand km.

        From what specifically, from what guns and from what place-distance are you going to fire at this airfield?
        
        Personally, I'm not going to. I sympathize with the Russian military. As already written above, cannon artillery, of various calibers, and traction, NATO will use after the main strike of the CD and MLRS. To finish off individual, accidentally surviving points. It makes no sense to list specific types of guns and the range of ammunition. The resource is not a branch of the Military Council of the Western Military District or DCBF.
        No one in their right mind would place an aircraft with -X-47M at such an airfield. MiG-31K made of stainless steel, with a huge overall ammunition. It glows on the screens of NATO radars like a lonely fire in the steppe. It will be destroyed at the moment
        taxiing. Both the ammunition itself and the aircraft, psychological weapons. Without a radar, without a source of external guidance, without reconnaissance, without the possibility of adequate fighter support.
        
        no one in Poland and NATO is warned about its goals and objectives.
        
        They are not so simplistic as to passively wait.
        
        - Well, 2 TU-22M3s with Daggers will arrive from another place and everything that represents at least some kind of danger is guaranteed to be cleaned up. -
        
        Tu-22M3s were not converted to Kh-47M ammunition. And these aircraft are no more than five units for all military districts. It is very likely that the GK VKS and NGSh will find more reasonable use for the crews and vehicles.
        
        At 2 thousand km, 3M-14 will fly for at least three hours. The enemy will have enough time to take cover, to distribute the number of 3M-14s among the fighter crews with the help of the operators of the AWACS and U systems. And the 3M-14s themselves are few, they will be used in small volleys, piece by piece.

        That's right, not yet with the Dagger, but with the X-32, the carrier is the Tu-22M3M.
        
        What are the MLRS and cannon artillery of NATO countries with a firing range of over 40 km.?

        Kh-32 was not accepted into service. The Kh-32 is a modernized Kh-22, perhaps more perfect and accurate, but not without the shortcomings of the Kh-22. Problems with the noise immunity of the homing system, half of the test launches fail, and so on. Demonstration in the photo is not a confirmation of combat readiness. And the Tu-22M3 themselves are only half a squadron of combat-ready ones. Modernization to the level of Tu-22M3M did not take place. Approximately 20 engines managed to be taken out of Ukraine
        copies. They spared the money, despite the requests and reports of the Air Force Commander-in-Chief, and his deputy for Long-Range Aviation. Aerospace Forces crews must be trained to fly and use weapons over the sea. This additional training will take 9 months. These are additional costs and a waste of time. In addition, in connection with the liquidation of the MPA, it is not clear who and how will apply them. Plus lies about barbells.
        The current few Long-Range Aviation A is not for the first strike. Since the mid-60s, we have not had combat duty in the air. To deal such a blow, her crews
        need to be dispersed in advance at operational airfields, and raised. Coordinate all activities. There have been no such exercises for 40 years. Such maneuvers by large aircraft, visible on radar, are easily detected by modern reconnaissance equipment, and those who believe that, having flown in from the Crimea, the planes hold the whole of Western Europe at gunpoint and do not see them - this is an illusion. If they are in control
        in the air, then they are also controlled by the operators of the AWACS and U complexes, too, and already above
        Poland, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, over the Black Sea.
        Wrote above. Cannon artillery will be used after the destruction of the main defense units. Like the MLRS.

On February 14.02.22, XNUMX, the Federal News Agency published an article in which the meeting between Putin and Lavrov was called an example of Russia's peacefulness.
Not otherwise - the transfer of "Daggers" was made on the basis of the results of the meeting.
The West will wait with approval from us for other peace-loving actions.
Putin is probably going to get the West to agree with our security requirements in this way.

  The West, very possibly, is aware of the real performance characteristics of the 9-A-7660 "Dagger", as well as the lack of adequate means and forces for the combat use of the complex at the present time.

  Tu-22M3 arrived. Tu-22M3M not upgraded to the promised level. Without X-47. Just one and a half teams. MiG-31K arrived without the forces and means to ensure the main task. These aircraft can perform safe flights during daylight hours, under simple weather conditions. Since they removed the radar to lighten the take-off weight. And the air-to-air missiles with guides left a minimal set of navigation equipment. The Iranians never provided the Hamadan airfield. The crews are forced to use Khmeimim, which is being shot through.
