Although the Russian army has made a beautiful turnaround, the situation is still very unfavorable for Russia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Without air supremacy and sea supremacy, it will be difficult for the Russian army to achieve such major results again. As long as the army adjusts, it will be able to launch an attack on the four northern islands. At that time, the Russian army will either risk heavy losses and fight the Japanese army head-on, or take the initiative to expand the scope of the conflict. Both of these options are not very beneficial to Russia. From Russia's standpoint, the ideal outcome would be to let him retreat from the situation, reach a cease-fire agreement before the war situation has developed to the point where it is out of control, and then resolve the dispute through negotiations.

It was precisely for this reason that the following morning, the Russian president expressed through the news media his idea of holding cease-fire talks with him on the premise of returning to the pre-war situation.

Subsequently, the Russian Foreign Minister sent a note to the Consul General in Russia, conveying a very important message.

As long as Ben Ken returns to the cease-fire talks with Russia before the outbreak of the conflict, the Russian side is willing to return Shikotan Island and Hamai Islands, among the four northern islands, to Yuben in accordance with the proposal put forward in the 90s of the last century, so as to settle once and for all the territorial disputes between the two countries that have lasted for more than half a century.

This suggestion cannot be said to be insincere.

Unfortunately, the authorities do not see this as a solution to the problem.

You must know that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that is, when Russia was just starting to study, it encountered economic difficulties and urgently needed to obtain economic aid, and the Russian president at that time proposed to return half of the four northern islands to the city in exchange for the $40 billion in economic aid provided by the company. He did not accept such a solution, because Shikotan and Hamai Islands were only a small part of the four northern islands, and the main ones were the islands of Setomo and Kunashir. Besides, it was the entire four northern islands, not a part of them.

If we could solve the problem with money, we would not have started a war.

In response to Russia, in the afternoon of the same day, the Air Force bombed Russian military facilities on the four northern islands for the first time.

Although the intensity of the bombing was not very high, with only four F-2 fighters dropping 12 guided bombs, this action of the Chinese army completely brought to naught the cease-fire negotiations.

At this point, Russia no longer expects to be able to reconcile with the Ben.

Less than two hours after the bombing ended, Russia's defense minister told the news media that any invasion would be defeated at all costs and that there would be a full-scale retaliation against the invaders.

After all, Russia has very limited means of retaliation.

Under the presidential order prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons and striking at the homeland, the Russian military can only target the warplanes and warships of the Japanese army.

The problem is that the Russian army does not have suitable means of counterattack.

In the afternoon of the same day, when the Chinese army bombed the four northern islands for the second time, the Russian Air Force dispatched fighter planes to conduct an air defense operation of little significance.

Because the number of Su-35s is not large in the first place, the Russian Air Force also dispatched eight Su-27s.

Under the guidance of four Su-35s, the Russian army intercepted the attack aircraft group of the Japanese army, but it was confronted by the escorting Syrian fighters.

Like the Russian army, the army does not have too many F-22Js, so all eight escort fighters are F-15Js.

This air battle can be regarded as evenly matched, but the Russian army still has not taken advantage. It is not that the fighter surname is poor, but that the A-50 that fights in coordination is not deployed in place, so it does not provide strong support for the fighter, while the fighter of the Yue Army is supported by several early warning aircraft.

In order to cover the F-2 fighters on the bombing mission, the F-15J engaged in a dogfight with the Russian fighter after launching a medium-range interceptor missile.

It was also in this battle that the Russian Air Force achieved its first results since the start of the war.

One F-15J was bitten by two Su-35s and was eventually shot down by the Su-35's long machine with combat missiles. It's just that the Russian army also paid a heavy price, at least three Su-27s were shot down, and two crashed on the way back, while the Japanese army claimed to have shot down one Su-35 in an air battle.

Such a result somewhat surprised the outside world.

You know, the Su-35 can't beat the F-22J, but there's absolutely no reason why it can't beat the F-15J. Even the Su-27 is capable of dealing with the F-15J.

When summing up the lessons and lessons, the Russian military had to admit that the training level of the Russian army was too low, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the troops.

According to the data released by the Russian side, in the past five years, the Russian Air Force fighter pilots have spent less than 150 hours of flight training on average each year, while the average training time of other countries is 250 hours, and the average training time of the Russian Air Force has reached 350 hours.

The long-term lack of adequate training has greatly reduced the technical level of Russian pilots.

The impact of this air battle is not great, after all, the Russian army is still not capable of turning the situation around.

It's just that for the Japanese army, lacking the limited cover of the F-22J, tactical bombing will definitely run into greater trouble.

Affected by this, the Japanese army had to immediately put two F-22J squadrons in training into battle to enhance its ability to control air supremacy on the battlefield.

With only one F-22J squadron, it is difficult for the Japanese army to maintain an advantage.

In the continuous high-intensity combat operations, only four of the twelve F-22Js are patrolling in the air, four are on standby on the ground, and the remaining four are on regular maintenance. In this way, even in the event of an emergency, only eight aircraft can be put into service, and at most an advantage can be gained in one direction.

Strictly speaking, eight F-22Js are enough to decide air supremacy on the battlefield.

According to the previous engagements, the F-22J can resist at least four times as many Russian fighters, even the Su-25, and can also fight twice as many enemy aircraft, while it is difficult for the Russian Air Force to organize more than 16 fighters to enter the air battle at a time, and it is difficult to shake the air supremacy of the Chinese army.

It's just that the army must consider special circumstances.

In the counterattack of the Russian army, that MiG-31 played a very important role. Although the Chinese military already knew that the interceptor did not carry missiles and was carrying out a reconnaissance mission, the MiG-31 was a standard interceptor that could break through the defense line of the Chinese army and attack the early warning aircraft at a speed that no other fighter of the Chinese army could reach and from an altitude that no other fighter of the Chinese army could reach.

If the Russian army is more bold, it will put in other fighters at the same time to contain the army's air defense fighters.

To this end, the military must leave four F-22J to cover the AWACS aircraft and keep at least four F-15Js at an altitude of 20,000 meters nearby.

As a result, the army has no F-22J fighters that can be used to cover bombing missions.

With the F-15J against the Su-35, it will be difficult for the army to take advantage.

Only by investing more F-22Js can the military regain absolute air supremacy.

The problem is that the F-22Js of those two squadrons have not yet completed all the training.

After the first 12 pilots sent to the United States for training were finished, he immediately asked the 12 pilots trained at that time to start training. As a result, by the time the United States delivered the second batch of F-22Js, only a dozen pilots had mastered all the tactical skills. Although he hoped that the United States could provide more help and train more pilots, the US Air Force also needed to train pilots and was not able to help him.

As a result of this, the other 24 pilots could only be trained by hired US military instructors in their home countries.

As a result, when the war broke out, only one squadron of F-22J was able to participate in the war.

Fortunately, the pilots of the other two squadrons have completed basic training, and before flying the F-22J, they were both F-15J pilots, and they both flew more than 3,000 hours.

After the increase in input, the scale of the army's air strikes rapidly expanded.

That night, the Chinese army carried out three rounds of bombardment on the four northern islands. Although the scale of each bombing was not large, it dealt a big blow to the morale of the Russian troops on the island.

It was also on this night that the ground air defense forces of the Russian army achieved their first results.

Although the authorities denied that a fighter plane had been shot down by Russian ground anti-aircraft fire during a bombing mission, the Russian authorities released a photo of the wreckage of the F-2 fighter that crashed on Kunashir Island, and claimed that the fighter had been shot down by the Russian army's "Tunguska" air defense system. It's just that from the after-the-fact recollections of the pilots of the aircraft, before being hit by an anti-aircraft missile of the Russian army, there was a problem with the flight control system of the fighter, which led to the engine stopping, and the pilot was trying to restart the engine.

This result reflects another problem that cannot be ignored: The Chinese army seriously lacks suitable ground attack weapons.

"Tunguska" is only a short-range air defense system with a maximum range of only twenty kilometers and a maximum altitude of only a few kilometers. When Russia sells this air defense system, it mainly claims its interception capabilities, not air defense capabilities. Even in the Russian army, the main task of the "Tunguska" is to defend important places and intercept ammunition dropped by enemy aircraft. If the army has suitable attack ammunition, there is absolutely no reason to enter the strike range of the short-range air defense system.

In fact, this was exactly the case, and among the ammunition used by the army at that time, unguided free-fall bombs were the mainstay!

In order to improve the accuracy of bombing, fighters had to reduce the flight altitude and then drop bombs very close to the target, which inevitably entered the strike zone of the short-range air defense system.

In fact, Yue Jun has been aware of this problem and has made great efforts.

Before the start of the war, he had already tried his best to obtain some JDAM and "Paveway" guided bombs, and then let domestic arms dealers copy them. In the first two rounds of bombing, the F-2 used guided bombs produced by Yumoto. It's just that the number of such ammunition is not large and does not stand up to consumption.

To fight to this point, the army needs not only luck, but also courage.

It is not difficult for the army to seize air supremacy, but it is not so easy to use air supremacy.

As the Russian army gradually strengthens the defense of the four northern islands and sends more air defense systems to the islands by ships, it will be difficult to reduce combat losses even if the military uses guided bombs on a large scale.

For the Yue army, the only thing to be thankful for is that the Russian army's counterattack force is even weaker.
