Today it was discovered that many observers saw the relationship between Putin's statement about withdrawal of troops from Syria and the emergence of the rebels MANPADS. Allegedly, this puts an end to the air component of the Russian operations.
It seems to us that such a version does not make sense. We in detail We described in detail his version of events (http://slavaukraine.net/en/news/latest-news/3779-the-fleeing-bear.htmll) which did not mention MANPADS as one of the conditions of the situation. However, here are a few thoughts in this regard.
Knowing the vile nature of Putin and in Russia, where the Declaration of withdrawal and the withdrawal itself can absolutely not be correlated. Putin could declare the conclusion, but actually nothing will be removed, and will even cram in there something. We do not know?
The second point. All the sources are talking about the captured MANPADS HT-16PGJ North Korean production, which fell to the rebels in the form of trophies. It is clear that such toys could only buy Assad. And now it turns out that the trophies captured on the basis of 80-th brigade of the Syrian Arab Army near Aleppo in February 2013 Already only this fact, puts an end to the theory of output due to MANPADS. There is no causality. Putin sent troops when for more than 2 years PSPK go.
It is important to note that the rebels urged the States and the Saudis, to give them a modern air defense systems. That is, having MANPADS Koreans here, they asked for another, more modern weapons. Then look at what they have right now. MANPADS HT-16PGJ is a licensed copy of Soviet MANPADS "Igla". It is clear that portable anti-aircraft system equipped with a small missile with limited fuel, because the shooter let her off the shoulder. This is a melee weapon, which works on targets flying at an altitude of about 3 km and Can fly at 3.5 km, but the efficiency will be lower. In addition, weapons are designed for relatively slow flying target, issuing 300-400 km/h. maximum removal of 5-6 km. This suggests that the entire Russian aviation group misses the kill zone MANPADS.
Moreover, in the Network there are plenty of frames a year ago about the use of MANPADS against Syrian helicopters, which is the main purpose of this weapon. To significantly change the balance of power, the insurgents were to receive modern air defense systems with other characteristics. There were reports that the Saudis have already cooked up a batch of such weapons, but in fact nobody has seen them.
In principle, even an old Korean MANPADS can cause great harm, the current Russian fleet of aircraft, but it does come close to the base Hamim and beat the aircraft during takeoff or landing. Then the purpose will be available both in speed and in height. Nothing like this has been.
But in the North, on the territory of Turkey is concentrated over three hundred modern aircraft from various countries who assembled for the operation of the closure of the sky over Syria. In the North of Saudi Arabia collected by the same aircraft grouping grouping. The district has already moved a fleet of flying tankers, AWACS, electronic warfare and transport aircraft, deployed forces technical service and delivered service. And yet, in Jordan, Bahrain and aircraft carriers, collected about 150-200 aircraft a large coalition, including the U.S. and including the latest F-22 does not exclude the presence of a certain number of F-35. We have collected a group of the first wave of planes from the coalition of Islamic States. More than 300 cars, most of which are pumped up to the latest block F-16 and their background – the second wave of the U.S. air force, France, Britain, Germany, etc.
And here against this Armada first wave completely ready and spoiling for a fight, someone says that the ancient Korean junk has forced Putin to go. Perhaps the authors dedicate their article coming April 1st, but no article has been so explained.
