A new Air Force and Air Defense Army is being created in the Pacific Fleet, December 18, 2017
https://iz.ru/679966/sergei-valchenk...shnym-shchitom
In 2018, the naval aviation and air defense forces of the Pacific Fleet will be united as part of a powerful army with headquarters in Kamchatka. The new operational formation will include at least two divisions - aviation and air defense forces. He was instructed to control the air situation in Kamchatka, Chukotka and in the Arctic region. According to experts, the formation of an air force and air defense army in the neighborhood of Alaska indicates an increase in the strike potential of the Pacific Fleet.
As Izvestia was told in the Ministry of Defense, the formation of the Air Force and Air Defense Army will begin in 2018. It will include aviation units, anti-aircraft missile and radio engineering troops. The zone of responsibility of the future operational formation extends from the Northern Kuriles to the Arctic Wrangel Island.
Such transformations are taking place in other fleets as well. In December 2015, the 45th Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Northern Fleet was formed. As Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the time, this was done to strengthen airspace control in the Arctic.
Simultaneously with the formation of the Pacific Army of the Air Force and Air Defense, the structure of aviation forces is changing. Instead of the amorphous and poorly managed air bases created after the not entirely successful reform of 2008, regiments and divisions are being recreated. The composition of the mixed air regiments, along with squadrons of anti-submarine and transport aircraft, fighters, reconnaissance aircraft and missile carriers, will include units of unmanned aerial vehicles.
The basis of the grouping of the new army will be the 317th mixed aviation regiment stationed in Yelizovo near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and the 53rd air defense division based there. The air regiment has a squadron of anti-submarine aircraft with upgraded Il-38N Novella. High-altitude MiG-31 interceptors are also based in Yelizovo. There are also squadrons of helicopters and drones in Kamchatka. The military department does not exclude that some air units will be replenished in the future new technology and receive regimental status.
As part of the 53rd Air Defense Division - radio engineering and anti-aircraft missile regiments. As well as radar posts, aviation commandant's offices, aviation guidance points located in Kamchatka, Chukotka, Wrangel Island and other regions of the Russian northeast.
The aviation and air defense forces assembled under a single command will be able to quickly track threats in their area of ​​responsibility and effectively counter them. The task of the group is to rule out a sudden air attack, to instantly stop any attempts to test the strength of Russian borders. The Air Force and Air Defense Army will operate in a single control loop with the main forces of the Pacific Fleet and the entire Eastern Military District.
As military expert Alexei Leonkov told Izvestiya, the creation of such formations in the Pacific direction is very timely.
- This region has recently become "hot". US military activity here has increased many times under the pretext of the North Korean missile threat, Alexey Leonkov explained. - In the region of Chukotka and Kamchatka, we directly border on Alaska, where large US air and naval bases have been built. The United States has six aircraft carriers in the Pacific.
According to the expert, the formation of the Air Force and Air Defense armies can be regarded as an asymmetric response to the activity of US military aviation.
- The concentration of reconnaissance and strike capabilities of naval aviation and air defense forces under a single command is a significant deterrent for any aggressive encroachments, - Alexey Leonkov noted.
It is expected that at the second stage of the structural reform, another Air Force and Air Defense Army will appear in the Pacific Fleet with subordinate units stationed in Primorye. Its area of ​​responsibility will include Sakhalin, the Kuriles, the Sea of ​​Japan and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Near the Pacific borders of Russia, from time to time, large US aircraft carrier formations appear with incomprehensible intentions.

Aerospace Forces successfully tested a short-range missile defense system

MOSCOW, June 21, 2016. Air and missile defense troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces have successfully tested a short-range anti-missile missile defense system, the launch took place at the Sary-Shagan training ground in Kazakhstan, the press service of the Ministry of Defense reported.

The purpose of the launch was to confirm the tactical and technical characteristics of the anti-missiles in service with the Aerospace Forces, the department noted.

The commander of the missile defense and air defense forces, deputy commander-in-chief of the airborne forces, Lieutenant-General Viktor Gumenny, who arrived at the training ground to control the preparation and conduct of the test launch, said that "the anti-missile system of the missile defense system successfully completed the task during the tests, hitting the conditional target at the set time."

Moscow. April 8, 2017. Aerial space forces(VKS) of the Russian Federation will soon adopt the promising S-500 anti-aircraft missile system, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Hero of Russia, Colonel General Viktor Bondarev told reporters on Saturday.

"Every year we receive five sets of S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, new radar stations (radar stations) - these rates suit us, further development, we are not standing still with the industry, the latest S-500 complex is being developed at an accelerated pace, and in the near future it will go into service with the air defense forces," he said.

As the head of the Zhukov Military Academy of Aerospace Defense, Lieutenant-General Vladimir Lyaporov, said earlier, the training of specialists for work on the S-500 complexes began for the first time in the Russian Armed Forces.

Russian sword shield

The aerospace forces will protect Russia from a sudden enemy attack and create conditions for inflicting unacceptable damage on him in a retaliatory strike.

A new type of troops - Aerospace Forces (VKS) - was created in a timely manner and fully complies with the current military-political situation in the world.

The events in Ukraine and Syria have shown that the United States and its allies have chosen the Russian Federation as a primary target, which is the organizing core of resistance to the plans of the West and a powerful resource base. The VKS troops were created taking into account different views and accumulated experience (including foreign) in the construction and use of forces operating in the aerospace sphere.

First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Pavel Kurachenko believes that "Russia today is the only global force that is capable and ready to counteract ... the military and political plans" of the West. He stated this at the scientific and technical conference "Aerospace as a sphere of protection of the planet Earth." According to him, "information warfare measures, economic sanctions and demonstration of military superiority" are used to achieve the goals.

However, understanding general situation, opponents continue to doubt the advisability of creating a videoconferencing system. In their opinion, the previously existing structures successfully solved their tasks and ensured the security of the country. Periodically, in one form or another, the question arises: what required the creation of a new type of troops?

Reasons for the creation of the videoconferencing

The collapse of Russia using various, including military means, is the main and long-standing goal of the West. It is clear to everyone that the use of nuclear weapons would be a disaster both for the victim of aggression and for the aggressor himself. Therefore, today and in the future, in the armed struggle against Russia, first of all, existing and promising conventional means of aerospace attack will be used, and gaining dominance in the aerospace sphere by them will become the main task with the outbreak of hostilities.

The United States and its NATO allies consider the AFCS as the main means, and air and space as the main "field" of confrontation with the Russian Federation. This is an indisputable conclusion from an analysis of trends in the development of means of armed struggle, methods of their use, as well as the results of wars and military conflicts in the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Reasons for the creation of the videoconferencing

The first and main reason for the creation of the Aerospace Forces is the unswerving desire of the United States to achieve military superiority over Russia in the aerospace sphere. It is precisely for this that the concept of a lightning-fast global strike using hypersonic weapons was developed, the main provisions of which are being gradually implemented today.

US hypersonic cruise missile successfully tested

The US Air Force successfully tested the X-51A Waverider hypersonic cruise missile, reports Space.com.

Tests of a rocket capable of reaching speeds five times the speed of sound took place on May 1 over the Pacific Ocean. The X-51A Waverider was launched from a B-52H Stratofortress from Edwards Air Force Base in California. The hypersonic missile was launched at an altitude of 15.2 thousand meters and rose to 18.2 thousand meters. The flight time of the rocket was 370 seconds. During them, the X-51A Waverider reached a speed of Mach 5.1 (6.1 thousand kilometers per hour) and covered a distance of 426 kilometers. After that, the hypersonic missile destroyed itself.

The main stake is "on gaining dominance in the air and space, conducting massive aerospace operations at the very beginning of the war with strikes against strategic and vital targets throughout the depths of the country," he said. Deputy Defense Ministry Arkady Bakhin.

At the same time, "the degree of threats themselves to Russia in the aerospace sphere will steadily increase."

Viktor Baranets, a military observer for the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, also supports his opinion. He believes that "America continues to militarize space and builds up its efforts here," despite the fact that today we have "some people responsible for air space, and others for outer space."

Another important reason for the creation of the Aerospace Forces is the steady implementation of US plans to deploy American missile defense elements in Europe directly at the borders of Russia. President of the Academy of Geopolitical Sciences Konstantin Sivkov believes that today a European region is actually being created as part of the US global missile defense system.

Diagram of the missile defense system in Europe

The third reason, closely intertwined with the above, is the buildup of NATO forces in Europe and the growth of a direct military threat to Russia. This is the transfer of American military equipment and its deployment on a rotational basis in the Baltic States, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and other European countries, the creation of bloc rapid reaction forces, forcing alliance partners to increase their defense budget, etc. and so on.

Thus, the creation of the Aerospace Forces is an adequate response to the complex of military-political threats to Russia from the United States and NATO. This is implemented by integrating all forces and means to effectively repel an aerospace attack by a potential enemy. Taking into account the existing threats, the Aerospace Forces are called upon to solve the problems of deterring and neutralizing American plans in the aerospace sphere.

Based on the experience of past years, it can be argued that the actions of national air defense systems determine the course and outcome of armed struggle. Thus, the strong air defense of Vietnam, whose military and economic potential was noticeably inferior to the aggressor, became main reason US refusal to continue the war. And, on the contrary, the weakness of the air defense systems of Iraq, Libya and Yugoslavia led to their defeat, and the latter disappeared altogether as a state.

In addition, other factors contribute to the use of SVKN groupings and the enemy’s aerospace attack on Russia. According to Kurachenko, this is the presence of large groups of foreign AFKN near the borders of the Russian Federation and its proximity to the centers of instability; large length of borders and area of ​​the country; the presence of an enclave - the Kaliningrad region, the remoteness and inaccessibility of Primorye, Sakhalin, Kamchatka and Chukotka; the presence of potentially dangerous for the population - in case of their destruction - objects. These and other factors determine the preference for an aerospace attack over ground combat operations. These same factors simultaneously complicate the solution of aerospace defense tasks.

It is difficult to disagree with the fact that over time the desire of the West to "build" Russia is only growing, and the means for this, primarily military, are being improved. In the interests of preserving the country, our actions must be directed to strengthening the army and navy in every possible way. As the emperor once said Alexander III Peacemaker (1845-1894), "we have only two true allies, our army and navy." The current situation is quite consistent with these prophetic words.

Structure and tasks of the HQS

General Command of the Aerospace Forces

Air Force

space troops

Air Defense and Missile Defense Forces

On August 1, 2015, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Aerospace Forces began to carry out their tasks. Aerospace Forces include defensive and offensive components, which, according to Kurachenko, "is both a sword and a shield of Russia in the aerospace sphere."

According to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the combat strength of the Aerospace Forces includes three types of troops - the Air Force, the Air Defense and Missile Defense Forces, as well as the Space Forces. In addition, the Aerospace Forces includes units and subunits of electronic warfare, communications, radio engineering, automated control, engineering, metrology, etc. They are united into a single type of troops by appropriate command and control structures.

Video conferencing systems are designed to solve the following main tasks.

The first and foremost of these is to ensure effective cover for strategic nuclear forces (SNF) in cooperation with other branches and arms of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It is they who, in a retaliatory strike, must inflict unacceptable damage on the aggressor and force him to abandon further military operations. Simultaneously with this task, the Aerospace Forces solve the tasks of controlling aerospace and timely opening the beginning of an attack; repelling an attack by the enemy's AFKN and protecting the most important objects, political and economic regions of the country and groupings of troops from his attacks; inflicting damage on enemy targets and troops; ensuring the launch of spacecraft and their control in flight.

Why shield and sword?

The effective solution by the forces and means of the Aerospace Forces of their tasks will contribute to the prevention of aggression. Otherwise, as the experience of wars of the 20th and early 21st centuries has shown, the war will be lost without a modern aerospace defense. But the same experience also shows that, using only passive defense, regardless of its effectiveness, the defenders should not count on a positive outcome of the war in principle.

The victim's lack of aggression, even in the presence of a sufficiently strong anti-aircraft defense, of the ability to strike at the enemy unequivocally leads to defeat. It is a matter of time, which confirms the tragic fate of the previously mentioned Iraq, Libya and Yugoslavia. That is why the Russian Aerospace Forces have strike aircraft capable of inflicting powerful and high-precision strikes on enemy targets.

A convincing demonstration of this was the actions of our aviation in Syria.

Thus, the Aerospace Forces of Russia is a shield for covering it from enemy attacks and a sword for delivering retaliatory strikes.

The main directions of the construction and development of the VCS in terms of the aerospace defense system are: the creation of advanced air defense systems - missile defense and their integration into a single control system; re-equipment of troops with promising models of weapons and military equipment; improvement of reconnaissance and information systems for warning of missile attacks and control of outer space, as well as their integration into a single system of reconnaissance and warning of aerospace attacks; increase in the size and quality characteristics of the domestic orbital constellation, which in last years conducted more efficiently.

Concerning the currently most important problem of building up groupings of troops and forces in strategic directions, it should be noted that its solution should go in three main directions: the creation of groupings equipped with modern weapons and military equipment, increasing the quantitative and qualitative composition of existing groupings, ensuring strategic mobility aviation and air defense forces.

In general, the implementation of the planned activities by 2021 will enable the aerospace defense system to fulfill its tasks. The capabilities of the reconnaissance and warning system will provide timely warning of an aerospace attack in order to ensure decision-making for response actions, including using strategic nuclear forces. Missile defense capabilities will be substantially increased. Guaranteed anti-aircraft missile cover will be provided for the most important military and state facilities, primarily objects of strategic nuclear forces and the highest levels of government and the Armed Forces.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the implementation of the planned plans for the construction of the aerospace defense system is impossible without a clear, high-quality and well-coordinated work of all military command and control bodies, research organizations and enterprises of the military-industrial complex. A significant role in this direction and in this process is assigned to the WEC on the problems of aerospace defense.

Work on the creation of the aerospace defense system should be carried out with a general focus, providing for the creation and development of information and fire weapons with the obligatory interface with the means of the fire control system. I am convinced that the plans to create an effective aerospace defense system will be successfully implemented, which will ensure the security of our state.

It should be noted the following. Since August 1, 2015, the Aerospace Forces have participated in all activities conducted under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the Minister of Defense, in the Center-2015 exercises, joint live-fire exercises within the Combat Commonwealth-2015 air defense system. At present, our air group is successfully fulfilling its assigned tasks in Syria.

March 24, 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the Space Forces of the Russian Federation. They were created in accordance with Decree No. 337 of March 24, 2001 of the President of Russia "On ensuring the construction and development of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, improving their structure." And by the decision of the Security Council of the Russian Federation of February 6, 2001.

Help: Space Forces- a separate branch of the armed forces of the Russian Federation responsible for the defense of Russia in space. October 4 is Space Forces Day. The holiday is timed to the day of the launch of the first artificial satellite of the Earth, which opened the annals of astronautics, including military. The first parts (institutions) for space purposes were formed in 1955, when a decision was made by the Government of the USSR to build a research site, which later became the world-famous Baikonur cosmodrome. Until 1981, responsibility for the creation, development and use of space assets was assigned to the Central Directorate of Space Facilities (TSUKOS) of the Strategic Missile Forces of the Armed Forces of the USSR. In 1981, it was decided to withdraw the Main Directorate of Space Facilities (GUKOS) from the Strategic Missile Forces and subordinate it directly to the General Staff. In 1986, GUKOS was transformed into the Office of the Chief of Space Facilities (UNKS). In 1992, the UNCS was transformed into a military branch of central subordination - the Military Space Forces (VKS), which included the Baikonur, Plesetsk, Svobodny cosmodromes (in 1996), as well as the Main Center for Testing and Control of Spacecraft (SC) of the military and civil appointment named after German Titov. In 1997, the VKS became part of the Strategic Missile Forces. Taking into account the growing role of space assets in the system of military and national security of Russia, in 2001 the top political leadership of the country decided to create, on the basis of formations, formations and units of launch and RKO, an independent branch of the military - the Space Forces - based on the formations and launch units allocated from the Strategic Missile Forces.

The main tasks of the HQS:

Timely warning of the top military-political leadership of the country about the beginning of a nuclear missile attack;

Creation, deployment and management of orbital constellations of spacecraft for military, dual and socio-economic purposes;

PRO Moscow A-135 - anti-missile defense system of the city of Moscow. Designed to "repel a limited nuclear strike on the Russian capital and the central industrial region." Radar "Don-2N" near Moscow, near the village of Sofrino. 68 missiles 53Т6 ("Gazelle"), designed for interception in the atmosphere, are located in five positional areas. Command post - the city of Solnechnogorsk.

The objects of the Space Forces are located throughout Russia and beyond its borders. Abroad, they are deployed in Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan.

It is not the first day that the news has been spreading in the media that the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces has been appointed and General Surovikin S.V. will become it. He will take this post instead of General Viktor Bondarev. The Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces received a new distribution and will work in the Federation Council. The former commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces will work with the committee in the field of defense and security and is currently preparing to take on a new position. The new appointment of the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces and the reshuffle in the leadership were not unambiguously perceived by everyone.

How military personnel in the VKS reacted to the appointment

The military personnel of the Aerospace Forces reacted especially negatively to this appointment. Although the dismissal of Bondarev, the commander of the VKS, is also due to the fact that his leadership has distinguished itself by an increased number of air accidents. But unlike his predecessor, Sergei Surovikin never had anything to do with the air force, he most During his military career, he commanded motorized rifle formations, and in recent years he led the work of a detachment in Syria. According to the pilots, entrusting the command of the Aerospace Forces to a person who had no experience at the helm of an aircraft is an extremely reckless decision.

Major General of the Air Force Alexander Tsialko also took this news without much enthusiasm. In his opinion, the commander-in-chief of the VKS should be a professional in his field. With such assignments, it often happens that the commander has to be taught basic knowledge first. It will be difficult for him to delve into the documents, the organization of work and simply understand the life of the pilots. The command of such troops is trained in specialized military educational institutions.

It is because of the incompetence of the leadership that there are cases of death of pilots on duty. The VKS commander must listen to his deputies in order to avoid mistakes in leadership. Tsialko believes that Surovikin will not always do this. Therefore, problems cannot be avoided.

It's no secret that pilots dislike infantry. This is not due to great pride, but due to the fact that you need to understand the flying business. Pilots have their own special language for orders. Thanks to this, the generals put all the necessary tasks to their subordinates. For this reason alone, the new GK VKS may have problems with interaction and management.

What is known about the new boss

Commander-in-Chief of the VKS S.V. Surovikin went through a difficult military path. His biography has difficult moments. The new head of the VKS is 50 years old, he is a regular professional military man who graduated from the military combined arms command school located in Omsk. Sergei Vladimirovich began his service back in the days of Soviet army. Immediately after graduation, he was sent to serve in Afghanistan. He served during the war on the territory of Tajikistan, as well as in the North Caucasus. In 2002 he became a graduate of the military academy at the General Staff.

In the period 2002-2004, he headed the 34th motorized rifle division stationed in Yekaterinburg. Then he served in the 42nd division during the period of hostilities during the military conflict in the Republic of Chechnya. There he held mainly command positions and took part in the work of the headquarters. Since October 2013, he has led military formations as part of the Air Defense Forces. Since 2017 led the work Russian troops in Syria. He has military awards, was awarded orders such as "for courage" and "for courage".

In the 1990s, in Tajikistan, at the risk of his life, he delivered military equipment and personnel to ensure the elimination of the serious consequences of a natural disaster in the affected regions of this country. Many of the general's colleagues speak of him as an experienced and professional military man.

But not everything is so smooth in the biography of the future commander-in-chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces. There was a moment in his life when he was taken into custody after his death. civilians. This happened in 1991, when he was still the captain of the Toman division. By order of the State Emergency Committee, he was to participate in restoring order in troubled Moscow. On August 21, at night, he was ordered to break through the barricades of civilians set up near the Garden Ring. He led the BMP column. As a result of the collision, three picketers were killed.

After this tragedy, he was forced to spend seven months in Matrosskaya Tishina, but, later, the charges were dropped, and the rank was raised to major, with the light hand of Boris Yeltsin.

Another case occurred with Sergei Surovikin in 2004. His subordinate wrote a report to the prosecutor's office about beating him by his commander, because of the wrong vote in the elections, and a month later his subordinate shot himself. But in both cases, the fault of the division commander was not proven.

Creation of military police

Sergei Vladimirovich Surovikin stood at the origins of the creation of the structure of the military police, it was he who opened this structure. The authority of this unit includes the activities of the FSB and military counterintelligence. The military police not only carry out patrol tasks, but also carry out operational activities. The servicemen of these units are also required to monitor the maintenance of the Guardhouse.

Creating this structure S.V. Surovikin was supposed to become its head, but due to the fact that a long-standing conviction surfaced, for which he received 1 year probation, his candidacy was removed from consideration.

He received a criminal record as a result of a case where he was found guilty of trafficking in firearms. Later it turned out that he was set up, the conviction was canceled, but such an incident was not forgotten in the prosecutor's office. The chief military prosecutor of the Russian Federation opposed his candidacy and in 2011, in his letter to the Minister of Defense, he expressed his position. The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation, in order to avoid conflict, sent Surovikin to the post of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Military District.

Last appointment

Information that Surovikin will be appointed commander-in-chief of the VKS troops has been discussed among the military for a long time. It is believed that he received such an appointment after his excellent work carried out in the Syrian conflict. Despite the fact that he is a typical land commander, he managed to organize the work of aviation, air defense systems, space troops and motorized rifle formations.

Two other candidates were considered for this position:

1. Lieutenant General Igor Mokushev;
2. representative of the Space Forces Alexander Golovko.

S.V. Surovikin was not considered with particular seriousness among the possible candidates. Both candidates went through their military career and were associated with activities in the field of rocket and air forces, but the choice was made on this issue for other reasons.

The pilots did not want to see the candidacy of Alexander Golovko. Since at the time of the creation of the Aerospace Forces, the rocket and space forces very actively began to master the budget allocated to the entire structure. For this reason, Golovko, as a representative of the rocket and space forces, was not the most the best option. Therefore, the choice not in his favor only pleased the representatives of the Air Force.

General Sergei Surovikin was chosen due to the fact that he has a wealth of combined arms experience. In such a position, a representative of one type of troops will experience difficulties. The example of his predecessor, Viktor Bondarev, is illustrative. There is an opinion that the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Viktor Bondarev, is leaving precisely because of the plane crash that happened in 2016 in Sochi. This tragedy influenced the decision not in his favor.

For Surovikin, the news of the appointment also came as a surprise, but he has good experience in command different types troops and acts as a good manager. Therefore, despite all the complexity, there is hope that he will perfectly understand this issue, as he always did. Due to the fact that the Aerospace Forces is becoming a real inter-arms structure, it includes not only the Air Force troops, but also the Air Defense Forces and the Space and Rocket Forces. This is a structure that acts in the interests of all troops of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.

The military experience of General Surovikin in commanding a combined arms military district, which includes such military formations as a fleet, air defense systems and other various types of troops, has great importance to work in this position.

The general got good experience in Syria, where he had to manage various systems and organize work on their interaction. Examples of the appointment of commanders from other military structures have already been in the history of Russia. There was a case of the appointment to the most important post of Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, who has nothing to do with the army. But, despite this fact, he was able to get in the know and even began a large-scale military reform.

Therefore, it was logical to make such a decision, to appoint the commander of the Aerospace Forces, by decision of the commander-in-chief, combined arms general, Sergei Vladimirovich Surovikin, because his experience in the interaction of various troops will provide efficient work in the position held.
