Air defense 2024, November

Launch of the GBI antimissile, May 2019. In the distant future, such missiles will be replaced by the NGIK product. At present, a fairly large and developed multicomponent strategic missile defense system has been created in the United States, but it does not fully meet the current challenges and requirements. V

Radar station "Don-2N". In recent years, it has been repeatedly reported about its modernization. Over the past few years, a program has been underway to modernize the strategic missile defense of Moscow and the Central Industrial Region according to the modern A-135M project. System components

Our series of articles began with a description of the meeting, which formed the basis of all missile defense developments in our country, the very one where the young and daring Kisunko had a delicious fight with Mints and Raspletin and proved to them that it was possible and necessary to create a missile defense system. We promised that that dispute would still hurt him very much (alas

This story is very complex, confusing, full of lies, resentments and omissions

Soviet city of dreams - Zelenograd. In the late 1950s, Khrushchev visited Finland and was impressed by the Finnish suburb of Tapiola. It was decided to implement a similar project in our country too, having surrounded the capital with several satellite cities at once on a Soviet scale, bringing enterprises there. Zelenograd was supposed to

There are 3 early patents for integrated circuits and one article about them. The first patent (1949) belonged to Werner Jacobi, a German engineer from Siemens AG, he proposed using microcircuits for, again, hearing aids, but no one was interested in his idea. Then there was the famous

Standardization As for the first task - here, alas, as we mentioned in the previous article, there was no smell of standardization of computers in the USSR. This was the greatest scourge of Soviet computers (along with officials), which it was just as impossible to overcome. The idea of a standard is often overlooked

The history of the USSR's missile defense is woven from three main components. First, these are the biographies and achievements of two Russian fathers of modular arithmetic, who in the USSR picked up the scientific torch lit by Antonin Svoboda - I. Ya. Akushsky and D. I. Yuditsky. Secondly, this is the story exactly

Detector ROBTiT and its application - small field radio station PMV. Unfortunately, the war interrupted research in the Russian Empire, although it also led to the creation of the Tver receiving radio station, where a unique research team headed by Professor V.K. Lebedinsky and M.A

SOKYAN Oblonsky, one of the first students of Svoboda and the developer of EPOS-1, recalls it this way (Eloge: Antonin Svoboda, 1907-l980, IEEE Annals of the History of Computing Vol. 2. No. 4, October 1980): An original idea was put forward by Svoboda on his computer engineering course at

Engineer Svoboda The life story of engineer Svoboda is drawn to a small adventure novel and is little covered in Russian literature. He was born in Prague in 1907 and survived the First World War. Wandered around Europe, fleeing the Nazis. He returned to Czechoslovakia, already Soviet. And in the end I was forced to

Keeping track of how public opinion changes is always interesting. Not so long ago, about ten to fifteen years ago, the prevailing opinion was the invulnerability of intercontinental ballistic missiles. That is, they, of course, could be destroyed before the start, if it was possible to inflict a leading one

After the rejection of Reagan's "Star Wars" research in the field of advanced missile defense systems in the United States did not stop. One of the most unusual and interesting projects, the implementation of which reached the stage of construction of prototypes, was an anti-missile laser on an aviation

Air defense of the Republic of Korea. In the mid-1980s, the replacement of the outdated FIM-43 Redeye MANPADS was overdue in the armed forces of the Republic of Korea. In the second half of the 1990s, the army of the Republic of Kazakhstan had foreign-made complexes: British Javelin, Russian Igla-1, American FIM-92A Stinger, French

In the 21st century, the People's Republic of China, against the backdrop of impressive economic successes, has become one of the most powerful militarily countries. Simultaneously with the reform of the PLA and equipping the ground forces with new equipment and weapons, much attention is paid to the development of high-tech families

Air defense of the Republic of Korea. Like most armies of the US allies, the South Korean air defense units of the ground forces were equipped with American-made equipment and weapons until the early 1990s. After the conclusion of an armistice with the DPRK in 1953, the basis of the military air defense

Before starting a review of South Korea's air defense system, I want to tell you how the idea arose to make a publication on this topic. Once again I am convinced that the comments of some visitors to the "Military Review" are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In the past, after categorical

Service of the Krug SAM system Krug anti-aircraft missile systems of all modifications were in service with anti-aircraft missile brigades (ZRBR) of the army and front (district) subordination. Serial production of the Krug air defense missile system was carried out from 1964 to 1980. The release of anti-aircraft missiles continued until 1983. According to the information

Soviet generals and marshals, who managed to survive in the initial period of the war, have forever remembered how defenseless our troops were against the domination of German aviation in the skies. In this regard, the Soviet Union spared no resources to create object and military air defense systems. Due

After the start of the Cold War, the United States tried to gain military superiority over the USSR. The Soviet ground forces were very numerous and equipped with modern military equipment and weapons by the standards of that time, and the Americans and their closest allies could not hope to defeat them on the ground

The development of an automated control system for the anti-aircraft missile brigade of the air defense of the ground forces "Polyana-D4" (9S52) was carried out by the Minsk Research Institute of Automation Means of the USSR Ministry of Radio Industry for TTZ GRAU in order to automate the control processes of combat operations of anti-aircraft missile brigades

The end of the 1960s was a period of great confrontation between the two superpowers, a period of a grueling arms race. The development of new types of weapons and military equipment is proceeding at a high rate. Microelectronics is developing especially rapidly and on its basis - telecommunications and

In the early nineties, the missile defense system of Moscow and the central industrial region A-135 "Amur" took over on experimental combat duty. In the middle of the same decade, the complex was officially put into service and took up full combat duty. Over the past decades

We stopped at the fact that by the end of the 1950s in the USSR there was not a single computer capable of effectively solving the task of targeting an anti-missile. But wait, we were one of the pioneers of computer technology? Or not? In fact, the history of Soviet computers is a little more complicated than it seems. MESM She

We stopped at the fact that Lebedev was going to Moscow to build his first BESM. But in the capital at that time it was also interesting. An independent machine with the modest name M-1 was being built there. Alternative architecture began with the meeting at the beginning of 1947 of Isaac Brook and Bashir Rameev

In addition to over-the-horizon and over-the-horizon radars, the Soviet early warning system used a space component based on artificial earth satellites (AES). This made it possible to significantly improve the reliability of information and detect ballistic missiles

On March 4, 1961, a successful test of the first in the Soviet Union anti-missile defense system took place, the B-1000 anti-missile missile on a launcher, the city of Priozersk (Sary-Shagan training ground).

During the Second World War, work was carried out in Germany, Great Britain and the United States to create anti-aircraft guided missiles. But for various reasons, none of the prototypes created was never accepted into service. In 1945, in stationary positions, around major cities and important defense and industrial

The sky-high secret is revealed with the help of the Minsk chassis At the beginning of December last year, the head of the US Air Force Space Command, General John Hayten, announced that Russia and China were developing weapons systems capable of destroying satellites in low-Earth orbit

Russia is developing a number of promising anti-aircraft, anti-missile and anti-space defense systems designed to protect the country as a whole and individual facilities from a possible attack. All these projects naturally attract the attention of foreign experts and the media

S-300PS launchers at the 201st base in Tajikistan Russia and Tajikistan are planning to create a Joint Regional Air Defense System (ORS air defense). It is proposed to unite the air defense of the two countries through common control loops, which will have a positive effect on their potential and overall

Let's go back to Lebedev's adventures in Moscow. He went there not as a savage, but at the invitation of the aforementioned M.A. The Institute of Precision Mechanics and Computer Science was originally organized in 1948 to calculate

Scheme of the modern American system PRO If you ask anyone what area of science and technology in the USSR was the most resource-intensive and was at its peak, required the infusion of astronomical funds and, in the end, failed, which indirectly contributed to the collapse of the Soviet idea as such

On April 26, the Ministry of Defense announced the next test launch of a new interceptor missile from the strategic missile defense system. The official announcements about this event, as always, are not very detailed, but it is clear that it is of great importance for

In 1957, within the framework of a bilateral agreement signed by the governments of the United States and Canada, the joint American-Canadian Air Defense Command of the North American continent (NORAD - North American Air Defense Command) was created. At the time of its creation, NORAD was in charge of the actions of the Command
