Авиация РФ: эксперт объяснил, эффективно ли уничтожать взлетные полосы врага

< p>Russian military airfields are quite tenacious.

Destroying Russian airstrips is less effective than destroying them themselves airplanes. The fact is that the occupiers cannot produce heavy bombers themselves.

Aviation expert Bogdan Dolintse said this on air at Kiev24.

What's the problem

According to the expert, Russian military airfields are a fairly resilient infrastructure. The fact is that they are built in such a way that even after the destruction of any critical objects, it is possible within a few days or weeks to either resume their operation or deploy so-called mobile systems that make it possible to compensate for the lost infrastructure.

Even after the destruction of the takeoff and landing system, several vans arrive with the appropriate equipment, he explains, which can further ensure the takeoff and departure of aircraft. Damage to the substation supplying airfield lighting is not a problem either.

“They may have points for connecting land mobile systems. That is, the approaching generator turns on, for a certain time, of course, not at 100% power, but at a certain power can provide work beyond this airfield “, says Dolintse.

This is why destroying the planes themselves is more effective. Now Russians cannot build them themselves, and repairs are difficult.

“Even a damaged aircraft, as a rule, is withdrawn from several months, this is for light damage, up to several years, for more serious damage. In case of complex damage, it is cheaper to write off this aircraft, than to repair,” – noted the expert.

Moreover, today the Russian Federation does not have the production capacity to make heavy bombers.

“That is, if most of the aircraft are destroyed, Russian aviation will be left virtually without strategic aviation,” – noted

Let us recall that the aircraft manufacturing industry in the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation is working, and today there is production of such combat aircraft as the Su-57, Su-35, Su-34 and combat training Yak-130.
