Russian NAVY detected foreign subs near Kamchatka
http://gazeta.ru/lenta.shtml?274014#274014 (in russian)
Aug 25, 7:40 commander-in-chief of Russian NAVY admiral Kuroedov told press that forces of russian pacific ocean fleet have detected in Saturday and also today foreign submarines in the area near Kamchatka where large scale manoeuvres of our fleet are carried out. "We are fully in control of this situation and prepared to interact with our foreign "observers" in this way as well. Perhaps those subs came instead of observers who were invited but did not came from some countries", he said //Interfax Yesterday there were news reports that two Tu-160s arrived to Vladivostok to carry out missions in "long distant ocean zone". Tu-160s never operated in Pacific Ocean area. Michael |

Yesterday there were news reports that two Tu-160s arrived to Vladivostok to carry out missions in "long distant ocean zone". Tu-160s never operated in Pacific Ocean area. "Never" Another typical Michael lie. The Breakout in April 85 included an entire regiment of Central Asian-based Backfires, flying out over -- guess where ? -- the Pacific, in the area south-east of Kamchatka. Keep it up, Michael, you have a little bit of credibility left to destroy. Gordon |

One junior type actually saw a submarine and is the hit of the debrief. What are Tu-160s like at low altitude? Good gas mileage, as we used to say? Fine observation areas, the esplanade deck with its floor to ceiling glass and comfortable observation points? Get real, 600 knots is not going to see anything unless the thing wants to be seen. These are submarines, not submersible boats. Where did you get an idea that Tu-160 were going to be used for subs detection or on the low altitude? Do you have anything to say on the subject? If the answer is decisive "no", why did you bother writing? http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/87/...123_fleet.html Well then, maybe you can explain what they are doing ? "Yesterday there were news reports that two Tu-160s arrived to Vladivostok to carry out missions in "long distant ocean zone". Tu-160s never operated in Pacific Ocean area." The poster juxapositioned the two statements, I didn't. Maybe they are looking for nice U.S. Navy escort by F-14s or trying to find an American aircraft carrier? The following information is based on articles in Nezavisimaya Gazeta and other Moscow papers May 23-25. "On May 15, TU-95 and TU-160 strategic bombers and TU-22 long-range bombers accomplished military training over the Polar and Pacific oceans. All the bombers had a full battle load: Each T-95 carried 6 X-55 missiles, each TU-160 12 missiles. The X-55 usually is equipped with a 200-kiloton nuclear warhead. All the bombers simulated hitting important U.S and U.K. targets." |

Tu-160s never operated in Pacific Ocean area. Probably could make this statement 360 days out of the year and it would be true, no need to actually 'detect' them, they are there. 1) the detected sub is dead sub in a war conditions. 2) the detected spy (and it is in a spy mission) is useful only for its opponent uploading all kind of false data. I guess this what admiral Kurioedov means under "interacting". I do hope they indeed can do it 360 days per year. Just for comparison during her last patrol in march-may, 1999 in the Mediterranean Kursk 5 times could undetecteced approach NATO ships for a salvo of his deadly Granit missiles. And they did mock attacks Next they did 3 mock torpedo attacks. All were undetected. This was a bit unpleasant surprise since the plan was to train also escape capabilities agaist US battle group. Then they understood that in order to alarm "high professionals" from US NAVY they had to make full speed noisy approach to hand gun shot distance. They did just to train their escape capabilities. 3 times fully seccessfully. This story has been recently published in memories of the crews who was not aboard the Kursk in her last mission. Deployment of Tu-160s reminds me of the chapter in one of the "We Joined the Navy" books in which the aviators each get up and recite their search plan with no sightings.

These are submarines, not submersible boats. Tu-160 searching for US subs.... Well sounds like a joke of the week. We have other means to search for your subs like Tu-142, Il-38, Ka-27 etc. Michael |
