Russian Navy will build a new generation of aircraft carrier

According to Russia’s “Caucasus Project” website on August 7 report, before the Russian Navy commander Vysotsky, said in an interview that Russia would build a new generation of aircraft carriers, while also seeking to Tartous port in Syria, including The parking of heavy ships in foreign ports, he caused a lot of these expressions of national media attention surrounding Russia.

The new carrier with a powerful air defense capability

Vysotsky said that although Russia is to discuss the purchase with the French “West Wind”-class amphibious ship, but Russia still plans to build new aircraft carriers, including the Northern Design Bureau Design Bureau and Kwasniewski, including the number of units involved in this task.

In his view, the air force to protect one’s own submarines and destroying enemy submarines, an important means of, if not the Russian Northern Fleet aircraft carrier, submarine-launched missile superiority as it is entirely possible overnight, “zero.”

Technical parameters for the new aircraft carriers, Vysotsky said, “Now is too early to talk about these.” But he said the military hoped that the new carrier has superior air defense capability. In addition, the construction of the new carrier should be commenced under the state plan, rather than in the past, relying solely on government procurement.

In addition, Russia will step up, “Nitka” training center on land the building is expected to be completed by 2012. The training ground will be the Russian aircraft carriers of the major training facilities. 2020, Russia will be equipped with 15 surface ships, the Black Sea Fleet.

Seeking overseas military port in Turkey

Vysotsky talk about another important issue, is the Russian naval base overseas. “We will seek to obtain a better infrastructure, which has parking rights of foreign ports, including ports in Turkey and Greece. Meanwhile, our relations with Italy has becoming more, not rule out the possibility that we will ship the next berth in the Western Mediterranean of the possible. ”

Vysotsky said the Turkish port, which has aroused the concern of many Russian media. Closer relations with Turkey, the Black Sea coastal countries or countries such as Azerbaijan and Georgia, the media, both on Vysotsky’s position was reported. While Vickers said only hope that the Turkish port of ship berthing, and no implicit Which port, but the media in these countries, or that his position for the development of the Black Sea regional security situation has a point role.

In addition to striking the Turkish port, most people should be concerned about Syria’s Tartous port number. Vysotsky said the first Russian ship to seek the port as an end result of their own, then later turn it into overseas military bases, “At present, the Russian Navy only Tartus this a far sea, the future, we will heavy ships parked there. ”

The Soviet Union in 1971 with the signing of the Syrian port of Tartous using the contract, but with the Soviet Union, the Russian navy presence in the Mediterranean end, the Russian warships in Tartous gradually reduce the number of parking.

Russia’s “view report” analysis said that many generals said that even 10 Tartus, can not replace the Black Sea port of Sevastopol’s status. Today, Vysotsky’s statement clearly shows that the Mediterranean is still an important development direction of the Russian Navy, the significance of Tartous would stand out in this context.

Russia’s Far Eastern exercise: Cruiser sunk the aircraft carrier 700 km outside

Russias Far Eastern exercise 300x160 Russias Far Eastern exercise: Cruiser sunk the aircraft carrier 700 km outside“Red Alert, the Russian polar bear back to the Pacific.” Recently, the Western media have reported that the Russian Far East to meet the three main large-scale fleet exercises, in order to declare the Russian naval forces in the Pacific strength. Right now, the Russian navy fleet concentrated nearly 40 three main ships, held in the North Pacific, massive live ammunition exercises, signs that the military observers exclaimed: “Russians are trying to Andre flag (flag of the Russian Navy) inserted all over the world’s oceans. ”

Exercise equipment: three fleet “real situation” battle

According to Russian media reports, the Russian armed forces as “Oriental -2010″ part of a large-scale strategic and operational exercises, starting from June 30, the Russian navy from the North, the Black Sea Fleet and the Pacific for nearly 40 three large ships and more than 70 fighters, near the Russian-Japanese dispute the waters of the South Kuril Islands, a large-scale exercises.
Let the outside world was surprised, to express support for the revitalization of the Navy, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev deliberately sit halfway Northern Fleet’s flagship, “Peter the Great” nuclear-powered cruiser, the Arctic along the path to the Far East, to personally observe the naval exercises.

Although the Russian government and military leaders have repeatedly declared that the exercise is not directed at other countries, just to test the results of Russian military reform, and the ability to defend the country, but military experts have pointed, the Russian military exercise on the choice of location and mobilization of troops and equipment to indicate that the “Oriental -2,010″ exercise is obviously to the U.S. “show of strength” to establish its hegemony in the Asia-Pacific can not shake the sea.

In fact, the sea exercises in the waters has been set aside Russian naval vessels and helicopters, hazardous areas, banning all ships around, but the United States and Japan have ships, drill ships in the waters near the close, and “action rather suspicious. ”

Drills: drill-the-horizon anti-ship operations

“Oriental -2.01 thousand” part of exercises including landing at sea, seizing command of the sea, air defense, anti-submarine, accompanied by escort and other subjects.

The highlight of the exercise period in the sea battle, the Russian Pacific Fleet flagship “Kuznetsov” cruiser with the powerful P-500 “basalt” supersonic anti-ship missiles and aircraft carriers, 300 kilometers of the target ship simulation, and Dmitry Medvedev take the “Peter the Great” cruiser will also launch more powerful, as the case P-700 “granite” missile, which can be destroyed in more than 700 km outside a large aircraft carrier.

In fact, the Russian Navy anti-ship high-profile exercises-the-horizon operations, clearly demonstrate the meaning of the U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups, in accordance with the Russian Navy, “the first volley,” theory, the Russian navy will strive in future conflicts preemption, launch a large number of supersonic anti- missiles, long-distance destruction of the enemy fleet.

In addition, the main Russian Pacific Fleet, “Admiral Vinogradov” and “Saposnikov Marshal” was also the drone of large anti-submarine launched anti-aircraft missile 3K95 dagger, this is the first years of the missile live-fire, has been of great concern.

Aim of the exercise: Exercise capacity of Naval Operations

To make up for the Russian Navy ships retired a few years ago too fast offensive caused a “deficit”, the Russian military in the exercise of the war at greater long-range aviation component.

From the Russian Volga – Ural Military District, Siberian Military District of the Soviet Union -24, -34 front-line bomber Su deliberately non-stop from 8,000 kilometers away, the Pacific exercise, there was another A-50 early warning aircraft and air refueling IL -78 protects They destroyed the enemy at sea with cruise missile target, which means “not enough ships, aircraft and Minato,” the Russian ocean-going operations will be a major feature.

In view of the Russian navy to “the most valuable real situation” were getting the Pacific Ocean, the Russian military analysts Makiyenko noted that “Oriental -2010″ exercise of political purpose is to show “Russian armed forces, muscle” to expand Russia’s strategic space, but tactical level, there are training the Russian navy ocean and “no base of operation” capacity was intended.

U.S. Rand Corporation analyst said Schwartz, the Russian navy exercise will attract the United States, Japan and even South Korea’s extensive attention, “as long as the Russian fleet in the open sea for one day, both the intelligence and counter-reconnaissance of the contest will continuous day. ” He stressed that the Russian people are consciously and systematically to modernize its naval forces in order to maintain their strength with the U.S. goal of fairly possible, and to ensure that their weapons and be able to overcome the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group.

Russia Task “floating castles” against carrier

■ equipment deployment

Participate in the “Oriental -2010″ military exercises warships, are the main three fleets, the Russian warships are deployed in particular called “500 missiles set a” and “Peter the Great” cruiser that outside attention.

Main equipment

Cruisers the most limelight

Russian Black Sea Fleet Flagship “Moscow” number and the Pacific Fleet flagship “Kuznetsov” was belong to the glorious class cruisers, is still heavily dependent on Russian naval ship species, especially the Russian aircraft carrier force has not amount to anything in the case, the glorious class cruiser team together with a large group composed of two submarines “to combat giant clamp” to contend with the powerful on behalf of the United States aircraft carrier battle group.

Slava class cruiser equipped with the 16 P-500 “basalt” anti-ship missile has a range up to 550 km, warhead weight 1 ton, is a nightmare for all major surface ships.

Easily without assignment of “Peter the Great” cruiser called “500 missiles set a” a medium-sized fleet of similar firepower, capable of sustained operations at sea for more than a few months, called “floating castle.”

Secret Weapon

Opportunistic potential strategic nuclear submarines

As the host, the Russian Pacific Fleet has also sent four modern destroyers and four fearless-class destroyers, responsible for security for the flagship mission. Modern-class destroyers to attack surface ships as the main objective, equipment 8 3M80E supersonic anti-ship missiles, while the fearless anti-submarine-class destroyers Zeyi mainly anti-submarine missiles equipped with 8 8P54.

In addition, the Russian Pacific Fleet has also sent four 677BDR secret type strategic nuclear submarine (SSBN), the implementation of hidden underwater combat. Each of the submarine fleet and equipment 16 SS-N-18 strategic missiles, each missile can carry 3-7 450 thousand tons equivalent of sub-guided nuclear warheads, maximum range of more than 8000 kilometers, 500 meters against accuracy.

Fighter

280 naval air arm

United Kingdom, “Jane’s Defense Review,” edited by Nikebulang that now has about 90 Russian Navy battleship and other ships, as many as 280 aircraft and helicopters and about 70 000 soldiers, Russia has begun to rely on high oil prices accumulated huge wealth – some spent on military buildup.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered the Defense Department to develop plans to build new aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, said “financial issues are no longer so important.”

Therefore, the Kremlin look forward to in the near future, the Russian Navy in the waters outside of their own coastal waters show of force, with NATO warships warships to increase the confidence of positive confrontation.

Russian officials said the F-15 carrier aircraft in China is poor performance, perhaps to buy Su-33

Su 33 carrier aircraft 300x225 Russian officials said the F 15 carrier aircraft in China is poor performance, perhaps to buy Su 33

Su -33 carrier aircraft

Russia, the world arms trade analysis director, member of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defence and Social Commission for Igor – Secco koslowski shevchenko June 4 interview in Moscow said that as the performance is not high, the Chinese carrier aircraft F -15 failed in the external market for Russian-made Su -33 compete with similar products.

Earlier media reports, China is actively carrying out work on the development of domestic ship-based fighters, which is based on five years ago from Ukraine, Russia, purchasing the first batch of Su -33 fighter carrier test sample machine T-10K.

Secco koslowski shevchenko in to comment on this news, said: “China clones F -15 in the performance parameters may not be able to ship-borne Russian Su -33 fighter levels, so do not exclude the possibility of selling a group of Soviet Russia again request – 33 fighter for the possibility. ”

Russian experts believe that China has received the Soviet -33 test sample machine can not be the basis for the development of new equipment and technology, as from the Ukraine just purchased T-10K Su -33 developed several versions of the initial one, and only in the Soviet Union -33 production preparation within the framework of the pilot scheme before use, so there are many defects in its structure, and later in the trial and improvement in the elimination.

Secco koslowski shevchenko in particular, individual media reported that Chinese experts have successfully resolved the folding mechanism of the wing, he reports that this may not be realistic.

In addition, carrier-based fighter developed the most complex technical problems have developed engine problems.

The experts agreed that on the whole, aircraft engine development is the weakest parts of the aviation industry, China can not for the land-based fighter aircraft being developed entirely to meet the requirements of the engine, requiring a lot of buying from Russia, but for the carrier fighter aircraft engine manufacturing is a technically more complex tasks.

According to the Russian center of the world’s arms trade control of the situation, similar to the carrier-based Su -33 fighter aircraft carrier construction program is necessary.

Beijing has a few years ago the Soviet Union and Russia on the procurement issue over -33 negotiations on the procurement of the first two Su -33 to assess the technical performance of their flight, Russia’s dissatisfaction with this program.

China, Russia, after the proposed sale of a group of 12-14, Su -33, but Moscow believes that the program is equally unacceptable, because from an economic point of view, in this small number of Su-order condition to start the production line is not worth the -33 and Russia is also worried about technology leakage, because the Chinese samples in imitation of Russian weapons and equipment has a unique technology.

Secco koslowski shevchenko that the Sukhoi company’s final proposal is to supply the first batch of China 12-14, Su -33 aircraft standard aircraft for the Chinese naval air unit of the teaching and training flights, an additional supply of 36 complete aircraft, the result is rejected, then negotiations stalled.

Russian experts, and Russia in the Soviet -33 protracted procurement negotiations, China actively pursued the development of similar products SU -33 is scheduled to deploy to future domestic carrier.

China’s aircraft carrier program has been designed more than 20 years, in order to learn from foreign experience in aircraft carrier construction, the Chinese purchased while several States Navy decommissioned aircraft carrier, mainly in 1994 by the Australian aircraft carrier “Melbourne” number, and the former Soviet Union’s heavy-duty aircraft carrier the Navy cruiser “W good grid “number,” Minsk “number and” Kiev, “.

科罗特琴科 said, for the manufacture of aircraft carriers, Beijing also solve many of the most complex technical issues, including security devices and a variety of shipboard combat systems compatibility issues related to equipment, therefore part of the supply in China is There may also be forced to seek help from Russia or Ukraine.

According to the Russian center of the world’s arms trade analysis predicts that by 2020 China is ready to build 4-6 vessels of medium displacement of about 6.5 million tons of aircraft carriers, class and the “Kuznetsov” aircraft rather, plans to deploy to the South China Sea and East China Sea.

Russian Media Criticism Russian weapons: quality and quantity has been fully catch up by the PLA

According to the Russian “independent military observer,” reported the Russian armed forces will set up four major strategic directions, strategic and operational command. Russian Political and Military Analysis Institute Alexander, deputy director of recently published article on the Russian military of this major reform program was analyzed, and the strength of the strategic and operational headquarters were assessed.
Russian T 72 main battle tanks Russian Media Criticism Russian weapons: quality and quantity has been fully catch up by the PLA
According to reports, the Russian military plans to build four strategic campaign headquarters are: “Western” Command (the headquarters for the St. Petersburg resident), “Oriental” Command (the headquarters for the Khabarovsk resident), “the North” commander Department (Headquarters for the Ekaterinburg city resident) and “South” Command (the headquarters for the Rostov-on-city resident).
Among them, the “West” will be the Moscow Military District headquarters, Leningrad Military District, the Northern Fleet and the Baltic Fleet based composition, “the East” will be the Far East Military District Command, Pacific Fleet and East Siberian Military District based on the composition of troops, “the North “Command will be the Siberian Military District Volga River west of the Urals Military District troops and most of the basis of composition, and” South “will be north of the Caucasus Military District headquarters, the Black Sea Fleet, Sea Fleet and the Volga River in the Ural Military District in the southern-based composition.
In the former Soviet Union and today’s Russia, the Strategic Command to replace the military’s problems have been put on the agenda several times, but several have been abandoned. The former Soviet Union during the 80s of last century a number of strategic direction in the establishment of the headquarters had integrated. However, the Warsaw Treaty Organization and the former Soviet Union, this command was the Russian military establishment will be abandoned.
Five years ago, when he was Chief of Staff of Russian armed forces general Baluyevsky suggested the formation of three strategic command, namely “the West” (based in Moscow), “South” (based in Samara) and “Eastern” (based in Ulan-Ude).
However, Baluyevsky after, the idea has subsequently been abandoned. Russian troops in a series of exercises in recent years that the Russian military that is, without advanced technology and equipment, and commanders lack the appropriate skills to command armies kind of cluster coordination. This is in 2008 and exposed the conflict in Georgia.
During the former Soviet Union began to pursue the military regime has been unable to meet the needs of modern warfare, it must be radical changes to its.
According to the Russian military announced the division of the current program, the newly formed four strategic campaign headquarters will be responsible for the implementation of the unified area command of the forces to respond to their direction in the potential threat that may arise. As the focus of the different strength of these headquarters will be significantly different, with the gap between potential adversaries are also different.
“Western” Command of the ground and air forces mainly from the Moscow Military District and the Leningrad Military District, the main strengths include: two tank brigades, seven motorized infantry brigade, two special brigades, three missile brigades, two artillery brigade, a rocket artillery brigades, two army air defense missile brigade, five army technical equipment storage bases, 21 air bases, two Air Force air defense missile brigades and 20 Air Force air defense missile regiment. In addition, there is also stationed three airborne divisions and two brigades of marines.
The ground next to the headquarters with weapons technology and equipment will include 750 tanks, more than 400 infantry fighting vehicles, 1,100 airborne combat vehicles, 1,500 armored carriers, about 800 self-propelled artillery, towed artillery of about 600, about 200 mortars, more than 250 rocket launchers, about 300 sets of anti-tank missile systems, more than 150 sets of military air defense system, 60 “Tunguska” Gun air defense systems and about 70 anti-aircraft gun.
Among these, there are about 200 tanks, 100 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 600 armored vehicles, about 150 self-propelled artillery, and almost all towed artillery pieces, about 90 rockets, 120 anti-tank systems, and about 100 sets of sets of air defense systems are being stored in the storage base.
However, these were sealed in case of emergency equipment, how fast can equip forces, related to operator training situation, are still unknown.
Of course, assuming that the equipment will be able to rapidly formula unit, then the “Western” strategic and operational command of the strength of the Polish army with only roughly the same.
As for the NATO forces in Europe within the cluster, its equipment, a total of 8,500 tanks, 18,000 armored vehicles, artillery over 9500. However, the number of U.S. troops in Europe very few, so that does not calculate the strength of the U.S. military (tanks 8000, about 32,000 armored combat vehicles, artillery pieces not less than 8000).
The Air Force’s role, for “the West” Command of the equipment, including 120 map-22M3 and Su -24 bombers, Su-16 attack planes -25, -27 300 Su, Mig -29 and Mig -31 fighter aircraft, 150 attack helicopters and 130 transport helicopters.
In addition, there are about 100 MiG -29 fighters, 110 m and 80 m -8 -24 helicopter stored in the warehouse. Correspondingly, NATO (excluding Greece and Turkey) were deployed in Europe, 2900 all types of aircraft, attack helicopters, while the number reached 1100.
If NATO in Europe as a whole cluster (including Greece and Turkey), then the tanks were equipped with about 13000, about 25,000 armored combat vehicles, more than 15,000 artillery pieces, 3,800 combat aircraft, 1200 attack helicopters.
If taking into account the North Caucasus Military District, Volga River and Ural Military District troops from the Siberian Military District to add Western, Russia in the “Western” strategic direction of the available equipment will include 1,500 tanks, 3,200 armored combat vehicles, 2,400 armored transport vehicles, 1600 self-propelled artillery, towed artillery about 700, more than 600 mortars, 700 rocket launchers, 400 bombers, 60 attack aircraft, 530 combat aircraft and 450 attack helicopters.
However, NATO’s European cluster can be quickly added that the U.S. military. U.S. military personnel carrier through the Atlantic to Europe there will not be an obstacle: the U.S. Atlantic Fleet were equipped with 25 attack submarines, four aircraft carriers, 10 cruisers, 26 destroyers, 13 frigates (and another five in a sealed state) and 14 search landing ships.
Other NATO countries, the navy is equipped with 15 nuclear submarines, about 70 diesel-electric submarines, six aircraft carriers, 25 destroyers, 150 frigates, about 200 boats, over 200 landing craft, minesweepers and about 50.
As for Russia, the strategic direction of the western naval forces primarily from the Northern Fleet, including 16 attack submarines, seven diesel-powered submarines, an aircraft carrier, three cruisers, two destroyers, five large anti-submarine, six small anti-submarine ships, seven minesweepers, and five large landing.
However, there are seven nuclear submarines, a diesel-electric submarines, a cruiser, a large anti-submarine, three small anti-submarine, three missile boats and three large landing craft are at the repair or maintenance of the state, how they Time to re-service is unknown.
In addition, the Baltic Fleet to support two nuclear submarines, two destroyers, four guard ships, eight small anti-submarines, 11 missile boats, five minesweepers and five landing ships (including two for the landing craft air cushion).
Through the above analysis we can see that the strategic direction of the Russian military in the West can not afford to compete with NATO.
As for the “North” strategic and operational command, its strength is still there are many people doubts are. From the naming point of view, it should be used to defend the Arctic, but the Russian forces currently deployed in the direction of only one cluster (located in the Kola Peninsula, including a motorized infantry brigade, a brigade of marines, 3 Air bases and three air defense missile regiment). In addition, Severodvinsk has deployed an anti-aircraft missile regiment.
Previously responsible for northern part of the defense mission of the Leningrad Military District were classified as “Western” command. The Volga River and Ural Military District Siberian Military District troops, because they mainly deployed in the southern Russian border, so their transfer to the north is not realistic.
On the other hand, the current segmentation and the Siberian Military District under the jurisdiction of military units in two different strategic direction is clearly essential. In addition, V Ukraine Military segmentation is also necessary.
Logically, “the North” command is called “central” command seems more appropriate. Preparation of the “North” command only with neighboring Kazakhstan, so as other strategic and operational command and Central Asia Collective Security Treaty Organization in the reserve forces is a very natural choice.
“North” under the jurisdiction of the headquarters of the troops, including 24 sets of “dot-U” tactical missile systems, about 400 tanks, more than 500 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 200 airborne combat vehicles, about 400 armored carriers, about 400 self-propelled guns, 200 mortars, rocket launchers about 200, about 150 air defense missile systems, about 100 anti-tank missile systems and some 100 anti-aircraft guns.
Air force include: Saratov State Russian Strategic Air Force stationed there the main cluster, including all map -160 strategic bombers (14 or 15), in V Ukrainian military air base in western Siberia and the deployment of a 24 interceptor MiG -31 and 32 m -24 attack helicopters.
In addition, Su -24 120 bombers, 20 MiG -29 fighters and more than 100 m -24 in sealed condition.
The eastern Siberian Military District troops will be classified as “Oriental” strategic and operational command.
In fact, the Russian “East” command may be higher than the situation facing the “West” much more severe.
“East” strategy, campaign headquarters assumed an extremely complex task of defending the islands scattered in the Pacific coast. Currently, the Russian military presence in the Kuril Islands have a cannon division, stationed in Sakhalin have a motorized infantry brigade.
Total of these two units equipped with 41 T-80 tanks, 120 armored combat vehicles, 130 artillery 6 m -8 helicopters and 60 air defense missiles, air defense missile systems and anti-aircraft Gun.
The face of the headquarters is more than military power. Japanese Army in the region have a tank division, nine infantry divisions and 16 infantry brigade, equipped with more than 1000 infantry fighting vehicles and armored carriers, 2,000 artillery pieces and 90 “Cobra” attack helicopters. Japan’s air force is equipped with 200 F-15, less than 100 F-2 and about 100 F-4 fighter.
Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands as the reason, it must be “Oriental” may command the naval forces under the jurisdiction of the Navy and other neighboring countries were compared.
Japan’s Navy is currently equipped with 19-to-date diesel-powered submarines, a quasi-light aircraft carrier (and one under construction), four helicopters, destroyers, 6 “King Kong” class destroyers (all equipped with the U.S. “Aegis” system), 35 other types of destroyers, 9 frigates, nine missile boats, two mine-laying ships, 36 minesweepers and seven landing ships.
At present, only the Russian Navy in the Pacific region there are five nuclear submarines deployed, seven conventional submarines, a cruiser, a destroyer, four large anti-submarine, four missile boats, a minesweeper and a range of other vessels.
But needs to be stressed is that even the most active in Japan than in the old destroyer, the Pacific Fleet’s surface ships latest advanced.
As for the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet, its strength is more powerful: including 29 nuclear submarines, six aircraft carriers, 12 cruisers, 29 destroyers, 12 frigates and 17 landing craft. Comparing the figures from the Russian Pacific Fleet on in absolute disadvantage.
Growth of the PLA’s strength very rapidly in recent years.
Currently, the total of about 10,000 main battle tanks and equipment, and 2000 light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles up to 3000, 100 airborne combat vehicles, at least 8,000 armored carriers, 15,000 artillery pieces (of which 1200 for the self-propelled artillery) , 10 000 mortars, 4,000 rocket launchers, 8,000 anti-tank missiles and 8,000 anti-tank guns, 150 anti-aircraft missile units (army) and 15 000 anti-aircraft guns.
Chinese Air Force is equipped with up to 3,000 combat aircraft, including the modernization of not less than 300 F -10, F -11 (-27 Su) and J -12 (Su -30).
As for the Chinese navy, as the Russian Pacific Fleet and its potential for conflict is very small, it is no longer to be introduced.
Russian armed forces currently in the Far East and East Siberia region (not including the deployment of the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin Island troops) stationed there is a tank brigade, eight motorized infantry brigade, two airborne Tu Jilv, three missile brigades, 4 artillery brigade, two rocket brigades, four air defense missile brigades, 12 army storage site, 13 air bases and eight Air Force air defense missile regiment.
The main weapon of these forces and equipment including 36 sets of “dot-U” tactical missiles, about 600 tanks, 1,800 infantry fighting vehicles and armored carriers, 900 artillery pieces, 300 mortars, more than 400 rockets, 500 anti-tank missiles, 200 sets of air defense missile system (Army), about 300 sets of other air defense weapons.
Air Force has 120 Su -24 bombers, 30 Su -25 attackers, about 180 Su -27, MiG -29 and -31 MiG fighter jets, attack helicopters, 30 m -24, 22 “beech” and the S- 300PS air defense missile battalion.
Among these, 200 tanks, six hundred infantry fighting vehicles and armored carriers, 650 artillery pieces and mortars, two hundred rockets, about three hundred anti-tank missiles, about 200 sets of air-defense system is kept in the set up near the border repository.
Once the Chinese invasion, these weapons will no doubt be used to replenish the People’s Liberation Army arsenal.
Contrast can be seen from the above, the scale of the Russian armed forces not only in equipment at a disadvantage, but also at a disadvantage in terms of quality.
Even the People’s Liberation Army is equipped with modern weapons, the number and variety of Russian troops have also been caught up (in some respects, beyond).
As for the formation of strategic and operational command can radically improve the efficiency of the Russian armed forces command and combat capabilities, but also depends on Russia’s domestic economic and scientific and technological level of development.

According to the Russian “independent military observer,” reported the Russian armed forces will set up four major strategic directions, strategic and operational command. Russian Political and Military Analysis Institute Alexander, deputy director of recently published article on the Russian military of this major reform program was analyzed, and the strength of the strategic and operational headquarters were assessed.
According to reports, the Russian military plans to build four strategic campaign headquarters are: “Western” Command (the headquarters for the St. Petersburg resident), “Oriental” Command (the headquarters for the Khabarovsk resident), “the North” commander Department (Headquarters for the Ekaterinburg city resident) and “South” Command (the headquarters for the Rostov-on-city resident).
Among them, the “West” will be the Moscow Military District headquarters, Leningrad Military District, the Northern Fleet and the Baltic Fleet based composition, “the East” will be the Far East Military District Command, Pacific Fleet and East Siberian Military District based on the composition of troops, “the North “Command will be the Siberian Military District Volga River west of the Urals Military District troops and most of the basis of composition, and” South “will be north of the Caucasus Military District headquarters, the Black Sea Fleet, Sea Fleet and the Volga River in the Ural Military District in the southern-based composition.
In the former Soviet Union and today’s Russia, the Strategic Command to replace the military’s problems have been put on the agenda several times, but several have been abandoned. The former Soviet Union during the 80s of last century a number of strategic direction in the establishment of the headquarters had integrated. However, the Warsaw Treaty Organization and the former Soviet Union, this command was the Russian military establishment will be abandoned.
Five years ago, when he was Chief of Staff of Russian armed forces general Baluyevsky suggested the formation of three strategic command, namely “the West” (based in Moscow), “South” (based in Samara) and “Eastern” (based in Ulan-Ude).
However, Baluyevsky after, the idea has subsequently been abandoned. Russian troops in a series of exercises in recent years that the Russian military that is, without advanced technology and equipment, and commanders lack the appropriate skills to command armies kind of cluster coordination. This is in 2008 and exposed the conflict in Georgia.
During the former Soviet Union began to pursue the military regime has been unable to meet the needs of modern warfare, it must be radical changes to its.
According to the Russian military announced the division of the current program, the newly formed four strategic campaign headquarters will be responsible for the implementation of the unified area command of the forces to respond to their direction in the potential threat that may arise. As the focus of the different strength of these headquarters will be significantly different, with the gap between potential adversaries are also different.
“Western” Command of the ground and air forces mainly from the Moscow Military District and the Leningrad Military District, the main strengths include: two tank brigades, seven motorized infantry brigade, two special brigades, three missile brigades, two artillery brigade, a rocket artillery brigades, two army air defense missile brigade, five army technical equipment storage bases, 21 air bases, two Air Force air defense missile brigades and 20 Air Force air defense missile regiment. In addition, there is also stationed three airborne divisions and two brigades of marines.
The ground next to the headquarters with weapons technology and equipment will include 750 tanks, more than 400 infantry fighting vehicles, 1,100 airborne combat vehicles, 1,500 armored carriers, about 800 self-propelled artillery, towed artillery of about 600, about 200 mortars, more than 250 rocket launchers, about 300 sets of anti-tank missile systems, more than 150 sets of military air defense system, 60 “Tunguska” Gun air defense systems and about 70 anti-aircraft gun.
Among these, there are about 200 tanks, 100 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 600 armored vehicles, about 150 self-propelled artillery, and almost all towed artillery pieces, about 90 rockets, 120 anti-tank systems, and about 100 sets of sets of air defense systems are being stored in the storage base.
However, these were sealed in case of emergency equipment, how fast can equip forces, related to operator training situation, are still unknown.
Of course, assuming that the equipment will be able to rapidly formula unit, then the “Western” strategic and operational command of the strength of the Polish army with only roughly the same.
As for the NATO forces in Europe within the cluster, its equipment, a total of 8,500 tanks, 18,000 armored vehicles, artillery over 9500. However, the number of U.S. troops in Europe very few, so that does not calculate the strength of the U.S. military (tanks 8000, about 32,000 armored combat vehicles, artillery pieces not less than 8000).
The Air Force’s role, for “the West” Command of the equipment, including 120 map-22M3 and Su -24 bombers, Su-16 attack planes -25, -27 300 Su, Mig -29 and Mig -31 fighter aircraft, 150 attack helicopters and 130 transport helicopters.
In addition, there are about 100 MiG -29 fighters, 110 m and 80 m -8 -24 helicopter stored in the warehouse. Correspondingly, NATO (excluding Greece and Turkey) were deployed in Europe, 2900 all types of aircraft, attack helicopters, while the number reached 1100.
If NATO in Europe as a whole cluster (including Greece and Turkey), then the tanks were equipped with about 13000, about 25,000 armored combat vehicles, more than 15,000 artillery pieces, 3,800 combat aircraft, 1200 attack helicopters.
If taking into account the North Caucasus Military District, Volga River and Ural Military District troops from the Siberian Military District to add Western, Russia in the “Western” strategic direction of the available equipment will include 1,500 tanks, 3,200 armored combat vehicles, 2,400 armored transport vehicles, 1600 self-propelled artillery, towed artillery about 700, more than 600 mortars, 700 rocket launchers, 400 bombers, 60 attack aircraft, 530 combat aircraft and 450 attack helicopters.
However, NATO’s European cluster can be quickly added that the U.S. military. U.S. military personnel carrier through the Atlantic to Europe there will not be an obstacle: the U.S. Atlantic Fleet were equipped with 25 attack submarines, four aircraft carriers, 10 cruisers, 26 destroyers, 13 frigates (and another five in a sealed state) and 14 search landing ships.
Other NATO countries, the navy is equipped with 15 nuclear submarines, about 70 diesel-electric submarines, six aircraft carriers, 25 destroyers, 150 frigates, about 200 boats, over 200 landing craft, minesweepers and about 50.
As for Russia, the strategic direction of the western naval forces primarily from the Northern Fleet, including 16 attack submarines, seven diesel-powered submarines, an aircraft carrier, three cruisers, two destroyers, five large anti-submarine, six small anti-submarine ships, seven minesweepers, and five large landing.
However, there are seven nuclear submarines, a diesel-electric submarines, a cruiser, a large anti-submarine, three small anti-submarine, three missile boats and three large landing craft are at the repair or maintenance of the state, how they Time to re-service is unknown.
In addition, the Baltic Fleet to support two nuclear submarines, two destroyers, four guard ships, eight small anti-submarines, 11 missile boats, five minesweepers and five landing ships (including two for the landing craft air cushion).
Through the above analysis we can see that the strategic direction of the Russian military in the West can not afford to compete with NATO.
As for the “North” strategic and operational command, its strength is still there are many people doubts are. From the naming point of view, it should be used to defend the Arctic, but the Russian forces currently deployed in the direction of only one cluster (located in the Kola Peninsula, including a motorized infantry brigade, a brigade of marines, 3 Air bases and three air defense missile regiment). In addition, Severodvinsk has deployed an anti-aircraft missile regiment.
Previously responsible for northern part of the defense mission of the Leningrad Military District were classified as “Western” command. The Volga River and Ural Military District Siberian Military District troops, because they mainly deployed in the southern Russian border, so their transfer to the north is not realistic.
On the other hand, the current segmentation and the Siberian Military District under the jurisdiction of military units in two different strategic direction is clearly essential. In addition, V Ukraine Military segmentation is also necessary.
Logically, “the North” command is called “central” command seems more appropriate. Preparation of the “North” command only with neighboring Kazakhstan, so as other strategic and operational command and Central Asia Collective Security Treaty Organization in the reserve forces is a very natural choice.
“North” under the jurisdiction of the headquarters of the troops, including 24 sets of “dot-U” tactical missile systems, about 400 tanks, more than 500 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 200 airborne combat vehicles, about 400 armored carriers, about 400 self-propelled guns, 200 mortars, rocket launchers about 200, about 150 air defense missile systems, about 100 anti-tank missile systems and some 100 anti-aircraft guns.
Air force include: Saratov State Russian Strategic Air Force stationed there the main cluster, including all map -160 strategic bombers (14 or 15), in V Ukrainian military air base in western Siberia and the deployment of a 24 interceptor MiG -31 and 32 m -24 attack helicopters.
In addition, Su -24 120 bombers, 20 MiG -29 fighters and more than 100 m -24 in sealed condition.
The eastern Siberian Military District troops will be classified as “Oriental” strategic and operational command.
In fact, the Russian “East” command may be higher than the situation facing the “West” much more severe.
“East” strategy, campaign headquarters assumed an extremely complex task of defending the islands scattered in the Pacific coast. Currently, the Russian military presence in the Kuril Islands have a cannon division, stationed in Sakhalin have a motorized infantry brigade.
Total of these two units equipped with 41 T-80 tanks, 120 armored combat vehicles, 130 artillery 6 m -8 helicopters and 60 air defense missiles, air defense missile systems and anti-aircraft Gun.
The face of the headquarters is more than military power. Japanese Army in the region have a tank division, nine infantry divisions and 16 infantry brigade, equipped with more than 1000 infantry fighting vehicles and armored carriers, 2,000 artillery pieces and 90 “Cobra” attack helicopters. Japan’s air force is equipped with 200 F-15, less than 100 F-2 and about 100 F-4 fighter.
Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands as the reason, it must be “Oriental” may command the naval forces under the jurisdiction of the Navy and other neighboring countries were compared.
Japan’s Navy is currently equipped with 19-to-date diesel-powered submarines, a quasi-light aircraft carrier (and one under construction), four helicopters, destroyers, 6 “King Kong” class destroyers (all equipped with the U.S. “Aegis” system), 35 other types of destroyers, 9 frigates, nine missile boats, two mine-laying ships, 36 minesweepers and seven landing ships.
