Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Friday that a government commission had determined the degree of guilt of the leaders of the Khrunichev Center responsible for the crash of the Proton-M rocket. According to him, Alexander Kobzar, deputy general director for quality at the Khrunichev center, Valery Grekov, head of the final assembly shop, and Mikhail Lebedev, head of the technical control department, were dismissed for improper performance of duties in the manufacture and preparation for launch of the Proton-M launch vehicle. In addition, he noted that a number of officials were also brought to disciplinary responsibility, who did not provide the necessary technologies and control during the assembly of the Proton-M launch vehicle.

You are joking, right?

They had a whole graveyard of wreckages since then

Very weak logic and no real world data to support own thesis. On top the title as taken from The Sun or Das Bild level newspapers :-)
You really must spend day to look for such niche "experts" dont you?

No, there r certain sites I go to regularly.
A fish usually rots from the head down; I don't see any fault in his conclusions.
Thx for ur concern, but there r others who do open my links.

Nope.

People laugh at Tsavo and his links. Mostly because they represent him, a moron.

I can easily refute the claims.

Look at total crashes of Jets per country, total amount of planes and come back to us.

You will see Russia doesn't have much of a problem. It is one of the biggest countries for military flights. Issues bound to happen. See US and their crash rates as example

But Tsavo is too stupid to understand that

With right leadership & prevention measures, there could & should be less crashes- & that's the bottom line.
So far this year, 52 civ. & mil. people died there in accidents.
The civil aviation is dual use & its safe operation is an asset to RF security.

I don't see any of his reasoning or his conclusions... you could describe them... or there is nothing to discuss.

open the link, google translate- I'm not an interpreter-commentator here.

The leadership of a country has nothing to do with flight accidents or car accidents or accidents with fire arms...

below it is the leadership of related industry & mil. commands & units were accidents taken place- that's the 1 was referring to.

So far this year, 52 civ. & mil. people died there in accidents.

Over 40,000 Americans died in car crashes too... must be Bidens fault I guess... that is almost as many as died in the war in Vietnam that took 10 years or more... and how many are dying because of over the counter prescription medication... a hell of a lot more than 40K... but the US government does nothing.... bastards.

so u r suggesting the Russians have nothing to worry about as long as their own accident rate is not above those statistics?

The civil aviation is dual use & its safe operation is an asset to RF security.

So it is not Putins interests that someone supposed to be getting good wages is not getting good wages, but plane crashes is his problem?

I could care less about him; certainly crashes r caused by multiple factors, incl. problems at the top.

the fact that you think it is just up to Putin and that he should be able to pass laws to prevent air accidents is quite frankly insulting... to our intelligence.

if u've read the article, u wouldn't be assuming that I think any of the above.

when that Intruder was flying low and broke the cables on that cable car and murdered 70 or so people... I say murdered because the pilots filmed the flight but destroyed the tape, so it was clearly a crime and they clearly destroyed evidence...  which US president was at fault that day?

human nature & their culture was at fault.

The author on link was "national democrat" form Russia meaning "Putin is soft and mediocre we need a stronger one" and IMHO was using simple stats to prove assumed thesis and not drawing any concussions from data.


There are more accidents because there is by order of magnitude more flight hours in Russian AF under Shoygu. There are new models and heavily reworked/upgrades ones.

BTW so far there were 2 accidents with Su-57? and how many F-22 and F-35? looks like Us fighters are not only poorly designed but also maintained

The bomber regiment on the Su-34 will be relocated to Voronezh by the end of 2021

The 47th Bomber Aviation Regiment will be relocated to Voronezh by the end of 2021 on Su-34 aircraft. This was announced on Thursday, October 14, by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.

It is noted that the regiment will be redeployed from Buturlinovka from November 15 to December 15. This was reported to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu during his working trip to Voronezh.

The minister was also informed that the Zhukovsky and Gagarin Air Force Academy (VVA) has created conditions for training specialists in the maintenance and repair of aviation equipment. Thanks to this, in a few years, up to 70% of the volume of repair work will be carried out in the troops, where, after training, specialized specialists studying at the Air Force Academy are sent.

The aerospace forces will reach this level by 2026, Shoigu said. At the same time, the Minister of Defense noted that along with well-trained specialists, the troops will have modern equipment for the repair of aircraft.

NOTE: the regiment had been moved to Buturlinovka Air Base while the Voronezh Airfield was completely rebuilt... took a lot longer then originally planned but appears to be completed finally.

(1/2) Very good catch by @The_Lookout_N
. It appears that it's the Anadyr airbase (Chukotka, Far East Russia) from which the two Tu-95s are taking off.

Anadyr isn't a primary base of Russia's Long-Range Aviation, although there were deployments of bombers in the past there.

(2/2) You can even see 4 Tu-22M3 bombers sitting on the tarmac at Ugolny/Anadyr airport on the satellite pic above.

The latest deployment of Tu-95s wasn't announced earlier.

Multi-faceted air support for ground formations

October 28 - Army Aviation Day.

The army aviation ends this year with good results. All planned exercises were carried out, the flight crew fully complied with the flight standards. The supply of new helicopter technology continues, the training and material base of military units has been improved. To date, tests of new helicopters are also being successfully completed.

This year, according to the combat training plan, an emphasis was placed on the joint training of army aviation pilots with the airborne assault unit of the Airborne Forces.

An army aviation brigade was tested in a new organizational and staff structure, with which measures were taken to support the assault operations of mobile forces both during the day and at night. And in the future, these formations performed combat training missions with participation in the joint strategic exercise "West-2021".
The training and material base of military units of the army aviation is being developed on a planned basis. This year, computer classes with procedural simulators were deployed in two army aviation brigades of the Eastern and Southern military districts and in two helicopter regiments of the Central and Eastern military districts. By the end of the year, the installation of a training and simulator complex in the helicopter regiment of the Western Military District will be completed.

On the territory of the Republic of Serbia, the next joint Russian-Serbian tactical flight exercise "The Brotherhood of Aviators of Russia and Serbia - 2021" ("BARS-2021") was held. This is the sixth joint exercise since 2015. This year, its scale was expanded, the drawing of tactical episodes was carried out from two airfields: Batainitsa and Ladzhevtsy. Aviation equipment, new for the Serbian side, was involved - Mi-35 helicopters. Considering that all Serbian pilots who participated in the exercise were trained for new aviation equipment in the Russian Federation and know Russian, the issues of interaction in joint crews did not cause difficulties.

Tests of Mi-28NM helicopters are nearing completion. The Mi-28 combat helicopter has proven itself well in the army, has been tested in the Syrian Arab Republic. Modernization work will further enhance its combat capabilities. The tests take place on time.

The new Mi-26T2V transport helicopter was specially designed for the Air Force. It has increased combat survivability, installed a new flight and navigation system, implemented automated en-route flight, provided the ability to use night vision goggles and installed an upgraded communications complex. All this will expand the scope of tasks.
The tests of the Mi-38T helicopter for the Ministry of Defense are nearing completion. The delivery of the first helicopters in the "Salon" version will begin next year. Also, helicopters of this type are being developed in the variants of an airborne transport and an electronic warfare helicopter.

In 2021, according to the plan for equipping helicopter units, four Ka-52 helicopters were delivered. By the end of this year, it is planned to supply eight Ka-52 helicopters, ten Mi-8AMTSh-VN and one Mi-26T2V to the Southern and Western military districts. We are conducting theoretical and practical retraining of flight personnel for new models of aviation equipment at the 344th Center for Combat Use and Flight Personnel Retraining of the Russian Ministry of Defense (Torzhok). Further training of pilots continues in military units and formations according to the course of combat training of army aviation.

The command of the Air Force controls the training of cadets of the Syzran branch of the All-Union Scientific Center, including the state certification of graduates. The educational base is constantly being improved and, accordingly, the level of training of graduates is increasing. The training is carried out with theoretical training for new modernized helicopters. The flight practice of cadets takes place at three airfields (Syzran, Sokol, Pugachev), the flight standards are fully met. Upon graduation, graduates are assigned to helicopter regiments and army aviation brigades of the Russian Ministry of Defense and to military units of other federal executive bodies, where they continue their training.
All personnel who have linked their lives with army aviation, I congratulate you on your professional holiday! I wish you good health, prosperity, trouble-free flight operations and success in defending our Motherland!

Good read, thanks for sharing

Putin: "[...] the Aerospace Forces, one of the most powerful, high-tech, and maneuverable branches of the modern Russian military. Russia’s reliable protection from an aerospace attack and maintaining strategic parity directly depend on their combat readiness and technical equipment." [...] some of our foreign colleagues have not abandoned their attempts to undermine this parity, including by deploying elements of their global missile defense systems in the immediate vicinity of our borders. We cannot fail to notice these threats to Russia's security. Under the state armament program, over the past four years, 25 S-400 systems and over 70 modern fighter jets have been produced, and more than 20 S-300 systems and 90 aircraft have been modernized. We need to  improve aerospace defense. This need has been prompted by the leading countries’ developing innovative strike weapons with advanced speed parameters... US plans to deploy medium-range missiles in Europe are well known... and pose a great danger and threat to us. [...] our troops must be supplied, in the next few years, with an additional >200 aircraft and 26 S-350 and S-400 systems, as well as the first production prototype or first production models of the latest S-500 system. PVO-PRO should reach 80% modern equipment by 2025-2027.

There's some interesting take aways from this:

our troops must be supplied [...] with an additional >200 aircraft

Assuming the translator didn't screw up the 'in the next few years', I wonder which aircraft-series he is referring to, given that most orders to the VKS are already fulfilled by Sukhoi/Mig. (I assume it also includes rotor aircraft, but nevertheless).

our troops must be supplied [...] with an additional [...] 26 S-350 and S-400 systems

It is interesting to finally hear about plans to procure S-350's, especially in such quantities.

PVO-PRO should reach 80% modern equipment by 2025-2027.

This is pretty lofty goal to achieve within just 3-5 years. I guess it depends highly upon what the percertange is at the current time.

Overall it seems that Russian Aerospace Defense forces are going to get a lot of additional hardware to work with, likely phasing out older S-300P systems (whilst I am sure they'll still keep the S-300V family ones). I wonder what system is poised to replace the 9K33.
