Let's do a debriefing.
Since here for the first time we flew to an airfield with some kind of shelters, we can draw some working conclusions.
I’ll tell you right away that all the planes capable of taking off flew away before the attack.
Of course, the question arises, why are there so many non-flying aircraft at the airfield of a regiment that was recently re-equipped with Su-34 zeros?
The answer is clear - no spare parts, no engines, no blocks. Why they are not there is not a question of salary.
Well, it’s not a fact that only one regiment was based at this airfield. This figure is currently floating.
Next. Light shelters do not have anti-fragmentation protection, so they need to add this protection. By all available means. Bags, blocks, piles of earth, boxes of earth - a million ways.
Who should have done this, and whether these opportunities were available at the airfield - I don’t know. And in general, should you?
In principle, the shelters at the airfield themselves are already something incredible. Here are the hangars from the sponsor. Present.
The biggest problem is that the shelters are crowded.
Such shelters are crowded at almost all airfields, because, as I said above, they are not designed to protect against attacks from the air or the ground.
They are designed to protect aircraft and personnel from bad weather and camouflage aircraft.
Moreover, they coped with camouflage one hundred percent, even after defeat, as expected. Until photos from hangars appeared, it was impossible to estimate the extent and quantity of damaged aircraft based on satellites alone. Even now it is difficult.
They are crowded because the hangar must be placed where there are already taxiways leading to it. Or make them individually for each hangar. This is different money. And different skills and specialization. And if they helped with hangars, there are no paths to them. Therefore, they parked them in an open parking lot, because there was nowhere else.
Without hangars, planes would be parked there in exactly the same way, only openly, and of course the damage would be many times greater.
Well, judging by the photo, ammunition was stored in one of the hangars (which were crowded together). In a bunch. And it was precisely this hangar that the crests (accidentally or purposefully) hit. And they hit it.
After the detonation of ammunition, claims to light shelters are completely removed and the average person has a question: why the hell were they lying there?
BC number one is always kept by airplanes in order to quickly attach them to the airplane. The UMPC must also be attached to bombs somewhere. Of course, such a place is not regularly provided at the airfield.
Of course, the armed forces who attach UMPCs to bombs also need to be hidden from bad weather, reconnaissance and other things, along with their bombs and UMPC kits.
And preferably close to airplanes. Because the number one BC for all front-line bombers is UMPC.
What conclusions should we draw?
Yes, all the same. Do not consider crests stupid. Do not think that they will attack with the number of drones equal to the number of anti-aircraft missiles. Use all available means to disperse aircraft (even faulty ones) and shelters around the airfield. Remove warehouses and UMPC preparation sites to bunded shelters.
Well, and most importantly, in addition to the normal coverage of airfields with air defense and electronic warfare systems, it is necessary to find resources to provide airfields with freelance construction equipment, building materials and labor.
The Ministry of Defense is unable to do this for bureaucratic reasons.
Well, or these are reasons that are within the competence of the majors.
Yes, the OBS is suggesting that the emerging progress in the centralized construction of shelters has gone to hell.
VKS has not mastered it, VSK does not know how, the technologies have been lost.
So far they cannot find contractors willing to sit down for a 50% kickback.
The report is finished!
(All of the above are the author’s fantasies and have nothing to do with our beautiful reality)
