Could the old Il-38 of the Naval Aviation of the Russian Navy track down an American submarine

84

Recent incident in the Pacific Ocean with an American submarine that penetrated 4 kilometers deep into Russian territorial waters, made a lot of noise. It can be assumed that the nuclear submarine deliberately allowed itself to be discovered in order to demonstrate the unpreparedness of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation to counter the underwater threat. What conclusions do we need to draw?

The situation looks extremely unsightly. Judging by the statements of representatives of our defense department, the Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate was forced to chase a submarine for 3 hours, which, if desired, could easily leave Russian territorial waters in less than a quarter of an hour. In this case, we are talking about only one foreign submarine, an American professional "hunter" for other Virginia-class submarines. With a high degree of probability, it can be assumed that other submarines, for example, the latest Japanese diesel-electric submarines, could operate in the area at the same time. If this is true, then the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation either chose not to politicize this issue without extreme need against the backdrop of the “Kuril problem”, or other submarines simply were not found.



And this is the worst option for us. Who and how was really able to detect the American nuclear submarine?

For example, it could be a diesel-electric submarine of project 636.3 Varshavyanka, which is part of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation. After the discovery, the coordinates of the nuclear submarine were transferred to the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, which chased the Virginia for several hours. However, important clarifications soon appeared. A well-informed source in the naval sphere told TASS on this occasion the following:

An American Virginia-class boat was discovered by Il-38 aircraft of naval aviation and one of the Pacific Fleet boats during exercises to search for and destroy mock enemy submarines in areas of their possible deployment.

The Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft appeared in the case. Perhaps he is the main character of that day?

To answer this question, it is necessary to take into account the current state of the anti-submarine aviation of the Russian Navy, which is represented exclusively by a few old Soviet-made aircraft. These are the medium-range anti-submarine Il-38 and the long-range Tu-142.

The Il-38 was developed on the basis of the Il-18V passenger liner for maritime reconnaissance, search and destruction of enemy submarines, search and rescue operations, and installation of minefields. Its anti-submarine equipment consists of an APM-60 or APM-73 magnetometer, a Berkut-38 search and targeting system, RSL-1 omnidirectional radar buoys, RSL-2 passive directional buoys, as well as RSL-3 and RSL autonomous passive-active sonar stations. -sixteen. Strike weapons are represented by AT-16 and AT-1 anti-submarine torpedoes or APR-2 and APR-1 missiles, anti-submarine bombs, sea mines, and potentially Kh-2 anti-ship missiles. The significant disadvantages of the IL-35 include the lack of defensive small arms and cannon weapons, as well as an optical or television bomb sight. Because of this, the dropping of bombs and mines has to be done almost by eye.

The situation was changed for the better by the integration of the new Novella-P-38 search and sighting system, which increased the ability to search and detect potential enemy submarines by 4 times compared to the base Il-38. High-resolution radar, thermal television, radio-hydroacoustic and magnetometric systems, as well as an electronic intelligence system that are part of Novella, allow the modernized Il-38N to detect and conduct not only underwater, but also surface and air targets at a distance of 320 and 90 kilometers , respectively, with a total number of up to 50.

In other words, the modernized Il-38N could indeed track the low-noise Virginia-class nuclear submarine with the help of sonar buoys, if such a combat mission was set before it. But in the message of an “informed source” there is an Il-38 with outdated anti-submarine equipment. Could he actually catch a "sub hunter"? Not a fact, alas. But why, then, was an obsolete aircraft sent to search for the intruder?

The problem lies in the shortage of these aircraft. As of 2018, the Naval Aviation of the Russian Navy consisted of 15 Il-38 and 7 Il-38N, in total, as well as 10 long-range Tu-142MR and 12 Tu-142MK/MZ. Is this enough for the needs of the Russian Navy? Of course not. According to the plans of the Ministry of Defense, by 2025 it was supposed to upgrade to the level of Il-38N up to 30 Il-38. Another problem, in addition to the acute shortage, is the age of the aircraft themselves. Modernization allows you to extend their resource, but it is impossible to do this indefinitely.

The platform needs to be replaced. For example, the Il-114-300 civilian liner, whose production has now been resumed, can be used as a base for a medium-range anti-submarine aircraft. A long-range aircraft for the Russian Navy can be made based on the Tu-204/214 liner.

Aviation is one of the most formidable opponents of submarines. As long as it is weak with us, the submarines of a potential enemy will calmly roam, violating Russian borders.

    IL-18 is the most convenient platform for PLO. And to invent nonsense that "once they discovered it means they succumbed" - not from a great mind! After all, they found it in territorial waters! So, they could attack! Who in their right mind would take such a risk? It’s easier to let yourself be discovered or just float up in neutral then, on the border with territorial waters! The substrate in foreign waters is always at great risk!

      Capitalized "I don't want it at all" Il-38 engines do not pull out modes. It takes about 30 minutes to warm up. The Berkut PPS, which was located as part of the aircraft equipment, was developed based on many scientific achievements of the 50s and 60s of the last century. Already the first years of operation of the IL-38 showed its low efficiency. The reason for this was the underdevelopment of the search and sighting complex. According to the specialists of the 33rd PPI of Naval Aviation, the Il-38 was an order of magnitude (8-10 times) less effective in the search for submarines than its American counterpart, the Orion patrol aircraft.

    IL-18 is the most convenient platform for PLO.

    Il-18 is a passenger aircraft for long-haul airlines, made according to the scheme of a four-engine turboprop low-wing aircraft with a single-fin tail. One of the first Soviet turboprop liners. Mass-produced from 1958 to 1978 at the plant number 30 ("Banner of Labor"), located near the Central Airfield on the Khodynka field in Moscow. In total, 719 (according to other sources - more than 850) aircraft were built, including 564 passenger ones (1957-1969), the rest - special ones (for example, ice reconnaissance or meteorological laboratories) and military ones (including Il-38) were built to the end 1970s.

    After all, they found it in territorial waters! So, they could attack! Who in their right mind would take such a risk?

    Well, of course. Attack. Yes
    We have been afraid to attack Ukraine for 8 years, we are afraid to recognize the LDNR. Attacking US Navy nuclear submarines is a bullshit question. This is from a very big mind. Yes

      Well, you are not from a great mind, for sure, excuse me! There is a nuance - a submariner - he is like a spy, his strength is in stealth! In peacetime, the boat leaving the database, the same SSBN, and I'm talking about those still years when Tagged was at the helm, and then EBN (duck), when the SSBN went out with an unloaded task to the RGCHIN (in principle, this is half an hour, if it is in the bus cassette) - even then, if surveillance was detected, the SSBN made one attempt to evade, if it failed, it is obliged to attack! There is no "peacetime" for a submariner even in the ocean! And in coastal waters - everything is generally at the "mercy" of their owner! And most importantly - you never know what happened! As with Kursk - they sank it, they paid 10 billion for it, but officially we will never know!
      Therefore, a submariner will never take the risk of unmasking in foreign territorial waters - this is COMPLETE NON-FUCK! And yes, our boat was released, they did not attack ... but in vain ... We had to do it quietly and be silent! Our teachings are not our problems!

          We still do not know for sure what happened to Thresher and Scorpion or Kursk ... And here you can also add the disappeared diesel submarines. This is the nuance of service on a submarine / nuclear submarine - she is not so much a soldier as a special forces intelligence officer, she does not have "world time", she is almost always at war.
          Therefore, there is nothing illegal in attacking submarines in their own territorial waters! If the boat did not surface, as our boats did during the Cuban Missile Crisis, it can be attacked! This is not NK ... There will be no one to complain to ...

                At a round table in the Federation Council, Stanislav Gadzhimagomedov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff, stated that Russia simply does not have enough ships and aircraft to resist the Americans in the Far East.

    In my opinion, they were waiting for her, quietly discovered and then carefully pulled up the ships: they say we are studying here ourselves, we don’t see anything. And when they got to the "contact", then they turned on the hydroacoustic station and further along the text of the message ....
    The fact that there was a panic on the boat is a fact of a released imitator, which will definitely be found and gutted, clearly identifying the manufacturer.
    Do not forget that the boat was lured into the ter-waters and disobedience to the ascent command is punishable by destruction.

          You did not give an example of the destruction of the destruction of a foreign boat in tervods. One case is known when the crew of a submarine was forced to surface by throwing grenades. It happened in 1966 off the Norwegian coast. The boat was French. But this is not destruction.

              It's not the hardest thing to qualify. It is much more difficult to prevent this. The Civil Code of the Russian Navy does not have the strength and operational capabilities to prevent such actions of foreign fleets.
              Such are the circumstances and catastrophes that blow away the smoke of eyewash. They show not advertising and forum, but the actual state of affairs. Only recently, the crew of the British destroyer Defender in the same way (violation of the state border) checked their service in the Black Sea. And revealed many shortcomings. And not the willingness of the Russian media.

                  With our fleet and aviation, such actions cannot be prevented. Military personnel are not traffic policemen. The fleet and the Aerospace Forces, together with the air defense, did not fall apart to be in the chamber.

                  The crew of the Defender was not kicked out. He completed the task, and left with impunity. Even a journalist from the Air Force was on board. And our media trailed behind the events. The provocation of the Defender crew showed that they were in vain reducing the Intelligence Directorate of the KChF to the level of a stunted department. That project 22160 was useless. That the organization of decision-making on the attack of the violator of the border is unsatisfactory. That the aviation of the KChF cannot quickly respond to the threat. That the performance characteristics of the Defender correspond to those previously stated. That FAB-250, stated in the reports, was not actually used. Numerous videos show that there is no FAB under the wings of the Su-24M. The media dissembled that there were bombs. On the surface of the sea, no traces of FAB explosions are visible. They are visible in calm for about 20 minutes. The commander of the KChF, knowing about the low speed characteristics of the Project 22160 PC, did not lift the Ka-52 or Mi-28N helicopters into the air.
                  British sailors mock our border guards, knowing for sure that they (the border guards) cannot do anything to them. “The next one will be along the cabin” - this is from a Soviet film, but this is not about them.
                  A good analysis of the actions of the Defender crew was made by blogger Andrey Kostrov in July 2021. With illustrations. Read, be enlightened.

    Yes, everything is correct with airplanes. Not enough, although they were never enough in a good way.
    I just want to note that in addition to submarines and aircraft, surface ships also have a sufficient set of tools for detecting submarines. It seems that the BOD also took part in the exercises there. Yes, and this Virginia is far from invisible. So our standard means is normally caught. But even on it the crew is not the only cadets - they also stand still until they are bombed ... So I had to chase. So, in principle, normal work is everything, it’s just that now, against the backdrop of all the aggravation, they talk about it like that. And it has happened before.

      It's not just the planes that are missing. There are a couple of test pages with a cursory listing of what is missing. The most important thing is missing - trained personnel and anti-submarine officers. 20 years of continuous organizational events have deprived the Navy and KTOF, in particular, of a huge number of senior command staff, as well as experienced operational staff of headquarters and command posts. The PLO department was reduced several times. The crew of the frigate Shaposhnikov had just emerged from the mess of a lengthy repair. Crews of corvettes had recently arrived from another naval theater. Commanders, senior assistants, watch officers and navigators did not really master the local navigation conditions, weather conditions, and hydrological features. They need five years of continuous, most intensive anti-submarine training in order to detect such rafted crews as on American, Japanese, South Korean boats. Who constantly train at sea, on the latest coastal simulators, with all types of aviation support. And not on museum crafts made semi-legally by rare craftsmen.

      And it has happened before.

      By the way, I never built a military expert out of myself. I am a professional journalist, trained to work with large volumes of any information and write on any topic, including military. To do this, I study this information from many specialized sources, periodically consult with military acquaintances, analyze and draw some conclusions. hi

    So the MS-21 300 has already been certified. https://dfnc.ru/aviazcia/irkut-poluchil-sertifikat-tipa-na-samolet-ms-21-300/ What prevents the systematic replacement of the IL-38 from starting? According to Valery Okulov, adviser to the UAC General Director, in 2021 it is planned to build six MS-21-300s at IAP, 2022 in 12, and 2023 aircraft in 25. From 2025, it is planned to enter the production of 72 cars per year.

      IL-38 - medium radius, Tu-142 - long-range.
      MS-21 to replace Tu-142. But the best solution is the Tu-214 produced in small batches in the same class as the MS-21.
      For IL-38, the replacement is IL-114-300. There are such plans.

        Well I do not know. the whole world somehow manages with one type of R-8. Already more than two hundred fly. So we need it, otherwise we want both, but there is neither one nor the other. But Tu-214 is said to be difficult to remake, cutouts are needed for weapons bays more than 6 m long. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately build the PLO fuselage. In addition, there are a lot of imported parts there .... and on the MS-21 everything is already ours, even the wing. And at the expense of the IL-114, there are American UAVs that have analogues of it, which I fly for days where I need to. And we already have such UAVs, as it were. One thing is clear, the current government needs this naval aviation like a hare stop signal. Whoever wants to do something finds a means, who does not want to find a reason!

          Everything is exactly the opposite. This MS-21 is critically dependent on imported components, and the Tu-204 was designed back in the USSR. The entire base of components on it was originally domestic.
