USA vs. Russia: as we see war between two worst armies in the world

Zuhvalі dії Volodymyr Putin in Syria and in Ukraine call for new food for the American plans for dіy at the heights of the outskirts.

Russia has great ambitions and growing capacity

Early on April 30, the Russian trizirkovy general went to the American embassy in Baghdad and went through the good escorts of marine infantry for the funeral, in order to especially give the representatives of the United States an ultimatum, which became a diplomatic demarche. This statement was sharp and direct: the Russian military in a year will begin to repeat blows at the littoral Syria - and the American military will clean up the entire area.

Tse bіy bіy iz razryadu balansuvannya on mezhі vіyni mіzh dvoma nuclear giants, which the world has not been able to stretch for ten years. Vaughn brought up suspicions, antagonisms and intrigues, characteristic of the era of cold war.

Having stopped the order of air strikes near Syria, President Volodymyr Putin inspected the war in the middle of the United States. As a result of the struggle, the armies of the two lands fell into the role of helpers on the opposite sides in the polar conflict. For Moscow, the adventure is already risky, it seems experts. “It will be very important. Tse folding from a glance of teel security. The Russians do not have so many forces, resources and opportunities for projecting forces at great times,” said Mark Galeotti, Russian security officer from New York University.

The Russians near their military campaign in Syria are already heavily deposited in the paths of the post-works, which allow to cross the corridors, which pass through the Iranian and Iraqi crossed expanses. The only alternative is maritime communications that go from Crimea. On such sea transportation in two countries it takes up to 10 days. It was unreasonable, how old Russia could show such a strain of forces.

All the other information about the Russian combat potential and the forces appear at the center of the stage at the moment when Putin demonstrates a reckless readiness to stomp the military force in his immaculate foreign policy, aimed at restoring the status of Russia as a power. Having spoken at the crossroads, vіn dav new life to the mayors of the military power of Russia, which is growing, - from Ukraine to the Baltic states, and from Syria to the Near Skhod in general.

All the more aggressive operational-strategic plans of Russia shouted a flurry of assessments and comments from the side of American military strategists on the topic Viysk policy The United States has that plan for a different conflict with a huge Russian power. The Pentagon began to put food on high-ranking, for over 20 years they lay under the cloth:

What are the real combat capabilities of the Russians?
- Where can there be a conflict from Russia?
- How do you see war against Russia today?

Maє buti is borderline clear. Experts agree on thoughts about those that building activities with a global scope of military power in the United States have to destroy Russian army. But the present wars are unimaginable, and geography, politics, and the mind will inevitably give advances to that other side.

Today, the States have spent ten times more money on the national defense than Russia. The United States has 10 aircraft carriers in service, while Russia has only one. In addition, the American military may have great technical advances, and the stench is rich in overturning Russia in the possibilities of transferring forces and making it to that other point of the world.

Russia, like before, is weak in terms of traditional criteria. Ale, in this hour of the day, we are expanding deaks of super-important technology and technology, new tactics of combat action and a well-developed geopolitical strategy, which raises the claims of the United States to the title of the only superpower in the world. As a result of the success of the crisis, Russia unexpectedly again became America's main military adversary.

Keeping track of what is being seen, American scientists “clearly show the turbulence of them, which, at least on the regional scale of Russia, can create overwhelming forces,” - even colossal spivrobitnik Pentagon chief David Ochmanek, who is currently working as a military analyst at RAND Corp. And over the Russian-American waters, their nuclear arsenals hang gloomily. Russia saved and modernized its "triad" at the warehouses of intercontinental ballistic missiles at the nuclear order, the great air fleet of long-range bombers and the fleet of atomic submersibles, as they become more and more modern and advanced.

“Russian military industry has risen from ruins,” says Vadim Kozyulin, a Russian expert from the Moscow PIR Center Analytical Center. - The military balance can be secured only for the Russian nuclear power, it is not so expensive to raise money on the equal level, as it is to get rich.

But if the Russian primal forces do not cope with such an attack, like a nuclear, like a deaky gallus, in such Russia I will overthrow the others. Among them - aviation, counter-defense, submarines and radio-electronic warfare.

Zbroyo design bureau of the Radian era, like before, good at home in the whole world. Russian aviation industry, for example, takes away a great profit from the export of its products in foreign countries, as they buy effective wines from it cheaper for zahіdnі zrazki. China today spends more on defense, lower Russia, and buy more equipment from it and modern equipment.

Behind the words of rich experts, try to match the defensive forces of the United States and Russia like apples and oranges. The Russians have the same other strategic goals, and the structure of the armed forces of Russia will be viable. Russia is proud of itself as a land power, embracing on the majestic territory, which stretches from the inner regions of Eurasia to Shidnoy Europe, Central Asia, and possibly, to the Close Descent and the Asia-Pacific region. There is not much room for the implementation of the Russian concept, which is like “access scare/zone blocking”.

“The States of that Russia were able to practice various speeches,” Galeotti says. - The Russians do not think of us as a partner with us on equal terms. A smut for them is a fence.” For example, if you continue to marvel at the US Navy, then the stink is rich in what the Russian Navy is turning over. The Russian majority of ships have a radian spadshchina. Ale, in the singing sensation, does not have a reasonable meaning, to the fact that Russia does not choose to overpower them in different parts of the world ocean.

Vіdbitkom є those who in Russia have only one aircraft carrier, and in the USA - 10, moreover, the stench is constantly found in different points of the world. The deputy of aircraft carriers, which is an offensive way of projecting forces at sea, Russians are investing in expanding their submarine forces, to enter the nuclear triad and build a threat to the enemy’s surface fleet in adjacent waters, say, in the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea

Expanding the expanse of Russia is also rich in fortifications. For their own Russian stealth, they are richer for American ones, but in Russia they are themselves modern systems the manifestation of such an underestimation of such a small-sized aviation, and it contributes a great deal of money to the creation of superior anti-aircraft missile systems, placing them in such a rank, so that the stench was good to cover up the cordon regions. “A static picture of the military-surfaced power is clearly at the expense of the Russians, because they have a serious potential for PPO and a diverse arsenal of operational-tactical, cruise and ballistic missiles,” says Paul Schwartz, a military analyst and expert in Russia Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Можливості Росії щодо ведення радіоелектронної боротьби також створюють чималі загрози для укладачів військових планів з Пентагону, оскільки їм незрозуміло, якою мірою Росія може створювати перешкоди американським радарам і засобам радіоелектронної розвідки, що становлять основу американської повітряної потужності. It will not be easy for the Americans and their allies to penetrate the Russian expanses, like Schwartz. “You will be serious about it there. But I think that in the future we will be able to loosen up the systems. The problem is that if there is a nuclear force, it is necessary to have unique large-scale combat operations.

Time after time, the Russian land troops, who are building up the best of the conscripts, the daedals are more transformed into professional strength on the American kshtalt. In fact, Russia has two armies: close to two thirds of the 800,000-thousand land troops add up to the same motivation and filthy trained conscripts, and one third - the same parts, equipped with the most advanced technology, including T-14 Armata tanks.

Zagalom, Russian military forces are not equal to American ones. Ale distance between them stay rocky shorten.

Forward operating base near Syria

Those, naskіlki promptly Russian created the advanced operational base of Syria, struck a lot of American kerіvniki. Usy for the sprat of tyzhnіv rosіyskі vіyskі zvіlnіv zvіdnі stіynoy vіynoy base in Latakії on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The stench threw dozens of combat aircraft there, marked their own object with tanks, and chose living quarters for hundreds of military servicemen.

Not long ago, Russia voiced about its plans to spend the autumn tsієї voyskovo-sea sailings near the other part of the Mediterranean, but did not specify if її ships will be transferred to this region. The fate of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet is the missile cruiser "Moskva", as well as a sprat of guards and great landing ships, which the Russian news agency TARS told about. Deyakі vіyskovі inquire: why not become tsі navchannya prikrittyam for the transfer of additional military and technical equipment on the coast of Syria?

The new advanced base will give Russia the opportunity to launch combat vigilantes, conduct surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as launch unmanned lethal aircraft along the entire Near Gathering, including Iraq, the mission of which asked the Russians to help them fight for their country.

Tsya base will help to secure the security point of the material and technical security of the Russian Navy, which has long been deployed in the Syrian port city of Tartus and may be of great importance for the transfer of Russian forces and ships near the Mediterranean Sea. As a reminder, Russia is expanding its presence in Tartus.

Zagal Moscow sends a signal about its dovgostrokovu zatsіkavlenіnіst in order to open parasolku zabobіgannya access / blocking the zone on the Close Skhodі. Rosiyani izhirno perplex until the PPO systems, Viklika, Zanapokokonnya in the Pentagon, and the okilki, the firmly firmly of their fights, to the hubs of the head of the sir.

“Mi bachimo, like on qi airfields are thrown over today's wellness PPO; Mi Bachimo, like at the airfields more modern planes are being thrown to conduct repeated combat, saying on 28 April the Commander of the United NATO Armed Forces in Europe and the Commander of the European Command of the US Armed Forces, General Phillip Breedlov. - I'm not a fan of the IDIL of a single aircraft; These modern complexes of PPO are not for fighting against IDIL ... the stench is for fighting against others.

In fact, the Russians can lose this momentum again, like over 20 years they support (and take it like) the United States, controlling the big plots of the territory of the Close Skhodі. The most important factor for this country is the Russian alliance with Iran - another key Syrian ally. Russia needs support for Iran to ensure the safety of its air force to Syria, and the country is ready to support Iranian ground troops, which will develop at once under the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Russian experts are aware that the invasion of Syria at once from Putin’s aggressive promo to the UN on 28 April is signaling those who may become the key gravestone in this region for a long time.

“It has become clear that Russia can pursue a more ambitious policy at the Close Convergence. The Russian president has clearly said that the old model of democracy and the old methods of resolving conflicts in the region are not practiced, - said Yuriy Barmin, an expert from Moscow on the close political and current politics of Russia. - It is doubtful that Russia will be able to become a leading power at the Nearest Descent in the next hour, but the presence of the region in the region is equally divided from the United States.

Ale dehto vbachaє in Putin's Syrian maneuvers large-scale geopolitical gambit, such a meta - to please Ukraine. Russia immediately pays for the deyakі areas of Ukraine, but the United States dossi vvazhayut invading in 2014 year illegal, and the power of Moscow over these regions є illegitimate. “Here the United States is more important, lower Syria and Assad, - like Galeotti. - Let's be honest: if Washington were to understand that it was possible to reach some kind of land, for which guilt you would immediately recognize the positions of the Russians near Krim and other areas of Dobrunsk (so in the text - approx. perekl.), they would not fight for Assad.

new type"hybrid warfare" in Ukraine

The conflict in Ukraine and the American mission with the beginning of the Ukrainian military forces give the Pentagon a new ability to assess the enemy, with some guilt you can close in battle in other places in a not so distant future. Prote critics say that America's fearful reaction to Russian aggression - in Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions - did not take the streaming and slandering of Moscow in any way. In Ukraine, Moscow has demonstrated a new type of "hybrid war", in which to take the fate of non-state forces and proteges. combat equipment, artillery, unmanned aerial vehicles, secure REBs and aggressive information operations are being carried out to ensure victory on the battlefield.

“It’s good, as we know, how the stink is at war,” said Evelyn Farkas, intercessor for the US Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, in an interview with the Military Times on 10 September. “We don’t know how to fight like that, how to lead the stench in the minds of the Russians and the military masses from the crowds of UAVs and the entry of active radioelectronic strangulation.”

For example, Farkas abandoned his settlement, five years of propratsiuvshi at the Ministry of Defense. It was not clear who, having taken the її space, would become the key creator of the policy of nutrition, which lies before Russia.

At the thought of a small number of Ukrainian professionals, who are working with the Ukrainian military forces, the fight against the rebels, which are encouraged by Moscow, is seriously considered in view of the fact that the stench has recently arrived in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We have obtained great evidence of a war of low intensity, anti-partisan struggle, but in Ukraine we may be right and equal to us as an opponent from the 21st century,” said the commander of the 2nd battalion of the 503rd Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Colonel Michael Kloepper. Tsya brigade recently started the third stage of training of Ukrainian armed forces.

Such a robot is a part of the American military strategy of providing security guarantees to NATO allies, like striving by the powers of Russia. Obama's protégénistration does not want to give Ukraine more support and, it seems, is due to the uniqueness of the mediated war against Russia.

The Russians hung up to the Ukrainian cordon with thousands of military servicemen, as well as great tanks and artillery units. The troops are constantly bombarding the cordon places and villages, as well as launching raids on Ukraine, and they are fighting together with the rebels. For the time being, the administration has denounced Ukraine only for “non-lethal help” at the sight of the delivery of equipment such as “Hammers”, small drones and radars.

Washington has been against Russia's economic sanctions by sending troops to train Ukrainian forces and by activating military training in all of Europe. Ale wines do not supply offensive weapons and ammunition there, and do not threaten Russia with military actions. In June 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimean Pivostrіv on Ukrainian production, the United States saw Kiev 244 million dollars in seemingly non-lethal military assistance. For porivnyannya, tse that sum, yak vintrachaetsya for three tizhnі battles in Iraq and Syria.

Ukrainian Kerіvnytstvo from Kyiv is constantly asking for more help. «Нам потрібні протитанкові системи Javelin, розвідувальні та бойові безпілотники… винищувачі, вертольоти, системи електронної, радіо- та радіотехнічної розвідки, радіолокаційні станції та надійні системи розвідки», щоб протистояти російській військовій техніці, яку застосовують проросійські сепаратисти на східному фронті, заявив головно чинами of Ukraine, Colonel-General Viktor Muzhenko. Ukraine also asked for anti-aircraft weapons and additional equipment to neutralize enemy snipers, telling the Military Times.

At the gathering of Ukraine, 30,000 to 35,000 militants are fighting, which are supported by Russia. According to Muzhenko's estimates, close to 9,000 of them Russian side. The stench is rooted in modern combat technologies of electronics, for the help of which they create transitions for Ukrainian communication systems, radar, GPS systems and the possession of early detection, said the intercessor of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine for European Integration Igor Dolgov.

This unique combat space, and the Americans, yak nachayut Ukrainian military, spovne bazhannya select rozveduvalnuyu information about new methods of warfare militant Russians. “Listen to what the stench has learned,” Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, commander of the US Army in Europe, told Defense News. - The American should not have consumed the fire of the Russian artillery and systems of salvo fire, the American should not have seen on himself the infusion of Russian weapons of REB, the radio-electronic strangulation of the tactical lances.

The prospects for the Ukrainian conflict were not clear. For example, in the spring of the day, the sides made their way to the line of the front at the gathering tanks and important artillery. It seems that if you think about fire in other regions, they are trying to keep the parties on their guard, and the pro-Russian separatists, who may hold elections for us, may not call the elections before the Ukrainian parliament, if they may come out on the 25th of July.

As long as Obama does not show readiness to give Russia control over the regions, Ukraine has been lying for a decade. “We can't show baiduzhist if the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country is grossly violated,” Obama said, speaking at the UN General Assembly. - Tse the basis of the sanctions, as well as the States and their partners, were carried out against Russia. I don’t want to turn around before the cold winter.”

Predicting new hot spots

Over the rivers of the United States and European allies, they will re-evaluate the Russian balance at similar NATO borders, and destroy the number of satellite countries. Radyansky Union. The result was the operation “Atlantic Rush”, within the framework of which the United States, on a rotational basis, directs its troops to the neighboring countries of NATO, such as Poland, the Baltic states, Romania and Bulgaria.

Putin and his warriors are threatening the Baltic lands, as they have only recently gone to the warehouse of the Pivnichno-Atlantic alliance with their weakest members. Russia repeatedly directed its combat aircraft near the borders of the Baltic states, imaginatively launched cyberattacks, and її submarines patrol the Baltic Sea. And the Russian officials are shouting to the Russian minorities, which calls out even more anxiety.

Aggression in the Baltic States, especially in Estonia, where a large Russian minority lives, Moscow to carry out in the greater taemnitsa, lower its undisputed mission in Ukraine and Syria. Sound evidence about those that Putin's victorious practice in Ukraine is a method of hybrid warfare for the formation of the Russian population in the Baltic States in support of the Russian forces of special recognition, or so the titles of "little green men."

Tse shouted at Zakhodі poboyuvannya schodo that Putin's last meta – tse power split NATO in times of failure of methods of threats and zalyakuvannya. NATO, without much success, gains insight, as if to react on purpose, and the country-members hang different thoughts about those, like Russia, with its actions, crosses the red border. “You need to swear if the correct answer is correct,” says London-based analyst Nick de Larrinaga, who works at IHS Jane's Defense and Security Group. “Hybridna viyna viklikaє nurture why, if you can buti viyskoy vіdpovіd, and chi is not a huge problem, virishuvati yaku mіstsevi pravokhorontsі.”

Obviously, Russia has the second option - to go to the greatest combat actions. An analysis of the balance of military forces in the Baltic theater shows that Russia has gained a lot of ground in the air campaign against NATO, as a political method of Moscow to win the Pivnichno-Atlantic alliance from the Baltics.

Zgіdno with the recent pre-dopy Korolivsky, the institute of the people's people Videosin Chatty House, at the Zakhidoye Vіskovka Zakazi in the sinking of the Ugroopovannaya 65,000 Cholovik, 850 Garmat Riznich Kalibriv. And yet another assessment, to give richly larger numbers, but at the same time it is obvious that there is a great insignificance in the nutrition of the fact that a part of these forces is less than paper, as it is ready in a right way before the war of combat actions.

The second aspect of Russian military power, which must be greatly overestimated, is that the Baltic Fleet is the smallest of the leading fleets of Russia and a shadow of its Radiant past. After the collapse of the Soviet Socialist Republic, the coastal infrastructure, which stretched from Kaliningrad to Leningrad, passed from the power of the Baltic powers, which took away independence.

Today, the fleet of divisions between Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg, through which it is important to take great strength at this warehouse. To warehouse Baltic Fleet Today, there are only two small diesel submersible ships of the project 877 "Halibut", moreover, one vikoristovuetsya lead rank for training, as well as a sprat of destroyers of the "Suchasniy" type, a patrol ship, a couple of corvettes and a sprat of ships for safety.

For the conduct of combat operations in the Baltic Russia, you can also get a ship warehouse for the Pivnichny fleet, the fragments of this ship are often used in combat service in the Pivnichniy Atlantic and building assistance in the development of large-scale operations at sea.

Such a threat can become quite serious, as if it is a threat to meta Russia in the Baltics - show that NATO does not violate Article 5 of its statute, as a key element of the Northern Atlantic Treaty vіdsіch. the whole alliance.

The militaristic moods are changing in the Suspіlstva. Today's New Year's Eve of Our Country from the USA cold war do not name only lines. Ale is more and more quiet, who prophesies the hot phase of this resistance. About the possibility of battles, the skin fantasizes in its own way, and the forecasts for their result are also strongly annoyed. For example, deyakі ekspert perekonі, scho our defense is not enough for the guiding resistance of the American military machine. Movlyav, vіtchiznіnі zbrojnі forces vіdstali vіd Shtativ so that you won't get back, and that needs to be blatant on extravagant methods of waging war. For example, throw a projectile at an American volcano or cause a tsunami on the coast of the United States to destroy a potential adversary from the Earth. Chi varto panіkuvati ta wine find the devil wunderwaffe chi really everything is not so nasty already, and the threat of a direct zіtknennya is greatly overwhelmed? Let's get smart.

For the first time, we marvel at those who are terrible for the Russian sensi America, and what we can oppose. Placed below the numbers can be changed one way or the other - the data is taken from different hours from different sources, and that is not always avoided. Prote zrazkovy order skrіz converge, and give a blatant revelation about the capabilities of the armed forces of Russia and the USA, which were formed for the rest of the rock. Bigger, to catch the essence, it is not necessary.

More than that, such a great war threatens not only with its ruinous legacy and human sacrifices, but also with even greater financial expenses. On some wicked little things, one can always make money. Prote the budgets of the krai, yakі take their fate, at the same time rush to spend at the vase. There is yet another factor that will build up the potential allies of the United States against such a crazy crook, like an attack on Russia. Tobto ymovіrnіst vіyni like with America all the time, so against the forces of NATO on this day is close to zero. And it is unlikely that it will seriously change in the nearest future.

Tim is not smaller, but it does not mean that now the varto is pleased to see and spit on the further development of the military-industrial complex. All of the above described may be less until that hour, while we are strong and able to give insight, which manifests itself as in its combat ability, and in the presence of allies. And the realities are such that these displays need to be gradually increased. “Russia and nadali zmіtsnyuvatime its safety. Nasampered, for the good work of the Ukrainian organization, active interaction with the powers, in order to promote peace, stability and development ", - Volodymyr Putin said in front of the Kremlin at the hearing of the officers and prosecutors, who were recognized as planting trees. І tse є absolutely true pidhіd. To that a military army is necessary, but we are not in front of us to take the fate of the wars, but to avoid these wars.
