Jiaran Russia's Bens Air Defense Network is the most powerful and healthy in the world. The strategic warning radar with a detection distance of more than 1,000 meters above the United States and the Republic, and is the first in the world. However, local air defense operations are no longer just about the air defense network. Instead, it is based on a strategic defense system and a comprehensive combat capability based on the overall military strength of the country.

As we all know, a military satellite network is the neural network of the entire defense system.

Looking back, it is not difficult to understand why the Republic had to use Russia's military satellite system. Because after appropriate adjustments, most civil satellites can be converted into military use, such as commercial remote sensing satellites, and commercial communication satellites can also act as military communication satellites. Therefore, before dawn, that is, after intercepting the submarine-launched ballistic missiles launched by Russian strategic submarines, the Republic's national strategic defense system was not idle, but under the control of the central computer, it wiped out Russian civil satellites one by one, causing Russia to lose all space equipment except manned orbital space stations.

Just as a famous military historian gave a comment later, Russia was defeated in the early morning of Kouyueyu.

The problem is that substantial defeat is not the same as admitting defeat.

Although Russia's national air defense system was basically intact during strategic bombing, when facing the strategic strike of the Republic's Sky Army, the Russian air defense forces that fought independently had almost no chance of winning.

It is undeniable that Russia does have a very powerful national air defense system.

According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, in the east of Ural, the Russian Air Force has an old air defense zone. Like most countries, Russia's national air defense forces belong to the air force, not the army, and are divided into border air defense zones and strategic air defense zones. From west to east, the border air defense zones are Chelyabinsk, Ishim, Omsk, Barnaur, Abakan, Irkutsk, Chita, Tengda, Sheremkinsk, Gongqingcheng, Dalinegorsk and Vladithostock, etc., and are mainly equipped with long-range air defense systems with ranges of less than 1,000 meters in some important air defense zones. Because all border air defense zones are

Deployment from the front, so the air defense zones extend to neighboring countries, which are typical offensive air defense deployment. Behind the border air defense zone are six strategic air defense zones, including Nevteyugansk, Achinsk, Ustikut, Neryungri, Nikolayevsk and Holmsk. The strategic air defense zones are all more than kilometers from the border air defense zones, and the distance from the border air defense zones is between 0 and 10 kilometers. Each strategic air defense zone has a long-range strategic warning radar with a detection distance of more than 40 kilometers, and a war zone warning radar with a detection distance of about 1,000 kilometers. It is mainly equipped with a war zone air defense system with a range of 1,000 kilometers. Some strategic air defense zones also have a number of heavy air defense fighters.

It can be seen from the distribution of the Russian air defense zone that its national air defense is divided into three levels. The outermost part is the interception area pulled by heavy air defense fighters, that is, actively entering the enemy's airspace to intercept strategic bombers and prevent the enemy's strategic bombers from launching missiles. In the middle is a border air defense network composed of border air defense zones. That is, after the blocking failure, the border air defense network intercepts the enemy's bombers, strategic cruise missiles, and tactical ballistic missiles. Finally, it is the last protective barrier provided by the strategic air defense zone, which is mainly intercepting the enemy's strategic missiles.

This kind of construction of national air defense system equipment based on the performance of weapons and at the level is also an inevitable choice for most countries. In any case, among many countries and regions around the world, only the Republic and the United States have the ability to build a national strategic defense system that has arrived across the globe, and use the strategic defense system to undertake most of the national air defense tasks, thereby significantly reducing the local air defense forces and retaining only the theater-level air defense forces.

To be honest, if Russia's air defense zones can coordinate and cooperate with each other, even if the Republic's Sky Army has one of the best strategic strike forces in the world, it may not be able to easily break through the Russian national air defense network and complete the strategic strike mission at a slight cost.

The key is that without the support of military satellite systems, it is difficult for Russia's air defense zones to cooperate with each other.

It’s not that the Russian authorities do not know the importance of military satellite systems in the national air defense network, but that the Russian authorities have always believed in a strategic rule, that is, military satellite systems are strategic facilities, and attacking military satellite systems is equivalent to carrying out strategic strikes on Russia, which means that they will be subject to strategic revenge from Russia. The so-called "strategic revenge." is a strategic counterattack using strategic nuclear weapons, and the Russian authorities firmly believe that they have the ability to tear open the national defense system of the Republic and carry out a devastating blow to the Republic. Therefore, the Republic will not actively attack Russia’s military satellite system, so Russia does not need to worry that the national air defense network will be affected by the paralysis of the military satellite system.

even.

In the eyes of the Russian authorities, even if they go to war with the Republic, it will be a large-scale local war. At most, it will be a full-scale war dominated by conventional weapons, and at least it will not quickly evolve into a nuclear war that conducts strategic strikes against each other.

It is precisely based on this strategic judgment that the Russian authorities have not built the national air defense network separately from the military satellite system.

It is obvious that Russia has experienced its own strength

Although when building the national air defense network, the Russian Air Force increased the density of the air defense zones on the grounds of facing powerful opponents, that is, most air defense zones overlap with each other, even if one or several non-adjacent air defense zones were hit, the national air defense network could operate normally. However, when tactical information cannot be exchanged and communication can only be done through a wired telephone, each air defense zone cannot cover each other at all, and the meaning of overlapping coverage naturally does not exist.

It is precisely this that the strategic bomber group of the Republic's Sky Army has the opportunity to take advantage of.

If the surface factors such as combat against Russia and the amazing scale of investment are eliminated, based on the nature of this strategic bombing, that is, the tactics adopted, there is actually not much advantage. Just like the early strategic bombing in previous wars, the first thing that is to strike is the enemy's national air defense system. That is, the air defense command center, communication center, air force base, long-range warning radar, theater warning radar and air defense missile positions, etc., and the strike operations basically use ammunition outside the defense zone, and the bomber enters the enemy's air defense.

The missile was fired before the interception area of ​​the system and then turned back. Although Russian air defense forces, especially important strategic facilities, have forced electromagnetic interference systems, and are controlled by computers and will be automatically activated after the peripheral interception failed, most strategic facilities are fixed targets. The cruise missiles launched by the Republic bomber cut off all guidance systems before entering the scope of the forced electromagnetic interference system to fly to a fixed ballistic for a last-blade kilometer, so they will not be affected too much.

Of course, compared with the previous two rounds of strategic strikes, the third round of strategic strikes was much less efficient.

First of all, we must admit that as a major country with global influence, Russia has a strong army, and the Russian army has several tricks. Secondly, we must admit that as the country with the most vast territory, three-quarters of the territory is in the Asian region east of the Ural Mountains. The over-dispersed goals have had a great impact on strategic bombing. Finally, we must admit that close cooperation with the United States for more than ten years has indeed brought a lot of benefits to Russia.

Long before Pei Chengyi declared war on Russia, the Russian Air Force completed combat mobilization.

In other words, when the strategic bomber of the Republic's Sky Army received the order to take off, the Russian Air Force's air defense fighter had taken off and gathered in the direction of the Republic according to the emergency operation. Although according to the information obtained after the war, Russian President Chiliyakov did not issue a comprehensive counterattack order at this time, Air Force Commander Krachov only ordered the troops to increase their alert levels and strengthen air defense patrol forces in border areas. However, with the strength of the Russian Air Force

When the strategic bombers of the Republic's Sky Army flew northward, at least a small air defense fighter jets were on high alert over the Far East, and over Siberia there were about to scramble air defense fighters that had already been launched. According to the combat report of the Republic's Sky Army, shortly after the third round of strategic bombing began, some Russian fighters crossed the main channel of the Ussuri River and entered the territory of the Republic, intercepting the strategic bomber group that was preparing to attack Dalianegorsk and Vlavavostok.

It was this "unexpected" interception that caused the Banghe Guo army to suffer the first loss since the war began.

According to the combat records of the Republic's Sky Army, a bomber was hit by a long-range missile launched by Russian fighter jets. When he returned, he crashed about 10,000 kilometers south of Qiqihar in the upper reaches of Nenjiang. Fortunately, both pilots survived by parachuting. Some of the Religious bombers were hit by Russian missiles, and eventually returned to the base. Among them, the co-pilot on the bomber was hit by shrapnel caused by missile explosions. He was slightly injured.

On the other few abandoned trends, the Russian Air Force's air defense fighter jets also adopted active offensive and air defense tactics.

In fact, this is also the main tactic of the Russian Air Force air defense fighter jets.

As mentioned earlier, the border air defense zones of the Russian Air Force are all deployed from the front, and the air defense fighter jets that are responsible for the most peripheral air defense mission can only take the initiative to attack, otherwise they will be stunned to fight over the heads of their own air defense forces. Even if they do not consider accidental injuries, the mixed forces of the enemy and us will have an impact on the air defense system and reduce the combat efficiency of the air defense system.

Some people may find it strange that Russia has a vast strategic depth, so why should it adopt such a risky tactic?

You should know that if you let fighters go to the enemy's territory to intercept enemy bombers, because early warning aircraft as support forces are unlikely to enter the enemy's territory, and long-range warning radar can only provide very limited information, so it is equivalent to letting fighters fight alone, and the result can be imagined.

The reason is actually very simple. Russia's huge strategic depth has a higher theoretical value than its practical significance.

As a typical high-quality country, severe cold greatly reduces the practical significance of Russia's vast territory. Judging from the regional score, the impact of severe cold on the European part of Russia is not very prominent. In any case, the Ural Mountains blocked the cold current from Siberia, and the North Atlantic warm current makes Murmansk the only unfreezing port in the Arctic Ocean. Coupled with the warm wind blowing from the Mediterranean, the temperature in the European region of Russia is relatively high. The winter is very cold, making the severe cold climate the main force to protect Russia and resist invaders. In comparison, Russia's Asian region

The region is not so lucky. Because the hinterland of the region is the Ural Mountains in the west, and the Asian Old Day Liao that extends from Mount Elbos on the south bank of the Caspian Sea to the Pamir Plateau in the south. The veins actually extend directly to the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest of its country, the Pasteur Plateau, the Adan Plateau and the Shangyangsk Mountains in the east, and the cold Arctic Ocean to the north, so Siberia became the "cold extreme" of the Eurasian continent. It is also the place where cold currents in the north were generated. As early as the Tsarist Russian period, Siberia was the best place for exile prisoners, even in the former Soviet Union. This was also a natural prison for imprisonment of political prisoners.

Although it is stored in amazing resources in Asia, which accounts for three-quarters of the country's territory, according to the detection of a private American company using resource remote sensing satellite, about two-thirds of the world's undiscovered rare metal deposits are in Russia, 80% of which are in Siberia. That is to say, nearly half of the undiscovered rare metal deposits are in Siberia. However, such abundant resources do not mean that they have great attraction. As we all know, Russia is well known.

It was originally a country with a vast land and sparsely populated country, with about 70%* of the population concentrated in Europe and only 30%* of the population in Asia. Affected by this, the main towns in Asia are concentrated in the south, while railways, roads, power grids and other national infrastructure is based on the distribution of population and towns. Therefore, the infrastructure in Russia and Asia is concentrated in a narrow area of ​​four to ten thousand meters wide. This is very similar to Canada on the North American continent.

If you understand this, it is not difficult to understand why the Russian Air Force is so active in air defense deployment.

In the words of the Russian president when he later mobilized the war, even if there were thousands of kilometers of ice-covered snow fields behind him, Russia had no way out!

You cannot retreat, you can only advance. Since this is the case, the Republic's Heavenly Army must have been prepared.

According to the battle report submitted by the Tianjun to the Head of State and the General Staff, in the battle to cover the third round of strategic bombing, the Tianjun's air defense forces shot down more than 3,400 Russian air defense fighters afterwards were counted as the New York squad, most of which fell within the territory of the Republic. It became a solid fact for Russia to "invade" the Republic.

Of course, whether this is an invasion is not completely consistent in the international community.

In any case, in the third round of strategic bombing, the combat effectiveness of the Sky Army air defense force, as the latest armies, was sufficient to reassure people. According to combat records, less than 20% of the Russian fighter jets shot down were the results of ground air defense systems, and most of them were the results of air defense fighters, and about half of them were the results of new fighters with aerospace combat capabilities.

Because national air defense operations have never been the main task of the Republic's aviation forces, nor are they the number one heavy fighter jets costing hundreds of billions of yuan, the Tianjun did not mention these battles in the war report, which has to be said to be a big regret.

As the Russian air defense fighter jets were defeated, the strategic strike only required the Russian ground air defense system at the beginning.

One party has absolute initiative and the other party is completely passive, so there is no need to say much about the result.

Although the Russian authorities later announced that in this round of air defense operations, they shot down multiple cruise missiles, which defeated the Republic's strategic strike. Let's not talk about whether the Russian authorities' statements are reliable or whether there is any moisture. One thing that no one can deny is that after this round of bombing, Tengda, Seremkinsk, Gongqingcheng, Dalianegorsk and Vlavavostok, as well as three strategic air defense zones such as Neryungri, Nikolayevsk and Holmsk, would either completely lose their combat capabilities or be completely paralyzed. In other words, after the strategic strike, not to mention the strategic strike forces of the Republic's Sky Army, even the tactical aircraft groups of the Republic's Army Air Force and Navy Air Force can swagger in and out of Russian airspace and strike Russian ground targets.

The outcome of the battle is not about how much success you have achieved, but whether the purpose of defense and offense has been achieved.

It can be said that with the complete collapse of the national air defense network in the Far East, the Russian Air Force lost very thoroughly.

Of course, it cannot be said that the Republic's Sky Army won a great victory, at least in the direction of Siberia. The Republic's Sky Army's strategic strike operation did not achieve satisfactory results and failed to tear open the Russian air defense network. It is not difficult to understand that the strategic bombing in the direction of Siberia is mainly aimed at the command facilities and air bases of the Russian army, rather than air defense facilities. You must know that all Russian strategic bombers are deployed in the Siberia region. If the Russian strategic bomber troops cannot be paralyzed as soon as possible, the Republic's mainland will be threatened.

From the difference in severity and difference between primary and secondary attack arrangements, it can be seen that the Republican authorities must have other plans.

As we all know, if we want to defeat Russia, we must fight the Ural Mountains and capture Russia's European region. If we only occupy Russia's Asian region, it will be difficult to make the Russian authorities admit defeat in the short term. In this way, the Republic's army should take Central Asia-Siberia as the main battlefield, rather than the Far East as the main battlefield. Although there is insufficient infrastructure in the direction of Central Asia-Siberia, especially the integrated military bases, these problems can be solved with the long-range assault capabilities and independent combat capabilities of the Republic's army, especially the Republic's army, these problems can be solved.
