Soviet Union 1991

First update

Marshal Ogarkov was almost ready to say everything he wanted to say in one breath before giving up. After roughly summarizing the future development of the Army, Marshal Ogarkov brought the topic to the Air Force. : .

At this time, the car driving to the Kremlin was halfway through, and Marshal Ogarkov was halfway through his topic.

"The next step is about the development of the air force. The Homeland Defense Air Force, the Air Force and some outer space ballistic defense forces were merged into the Air and Space Force, which is responsible for the unified mission of homeland air defense, anti-missile and external strategic and tactical strike. The combination to form a unified whole not only It can enhance operational efficiency and enhance the Air Force’s integrated combat capability.”

Yanayev originally wanted to advise Marshal Ogarkov to take a break and not to work too hard, but the other party was talking about the most critical moment, how could he stop his eloquence. Ogarkov continued, "The Soviet Union must now eliminate outdated fighter models that are still in service, such as Su-7 bombers and Su-17 bombers, as well as Su-15 interceptors and MiG fighter jets. It is also good for our allies, Regardless of providing assistance to the conflict zone, it can also be sealed if necessary. In short, the Soviet Air Force's logistics must get rid of these burdens as soon as possible to ensure that it has a cutting-edge and efficient combat team. "

"Then our next step is to upgrade existing fighters, such as MiG-25bm, MiG-29a/b, MiG-31b/m, Su-24m, Su-25t, Su-27p/s, Su-33, Tu-22m3, Tu-95ms, Tu-160, IL-76 each series, A-50, An-22/124, fire control system, airborne radar and avionics system are all key points. The vast majority of Air Force fighter jets can no longer meet the needs of modern combat. If they are not upgraded, their final The result is to be eliminated or shot down by NATO fighter jets.”

"The next step is to speed up the production and procurement of new fighters MiG-29k, MiG-35, MiG-31bm, Su-24m2, Su-25*m, Su-27*m2/3, Su-30*m, Su-34 frontline bomber, a-50u early warning aircraft, large quantities of purchases including kab-250, kab-500, k Precision ammunition including ab-1500. Improve the airborne fire control system of the Su-24m2, Su-30*m and Su-34 frontline bombers to ensure that the CEP without medicine can reach 10 to 20 meters according to the standard bombing action. . To ensure the smooth progress of the development of next-generation fighters, bombers, interceptors, transport aircraft and early warning aircraft.”

Ogarkov's air force plan is divided into three steps: elimination, upgrading and development. Each step will have an important impact on the future development of the Soviet Air Force. At this time, what Yanayev knows is only a rough idea. I'm afraid Ogarkov After Marshal Husband's report was presented, it would be so detailed that it would scare Yanayev to death.

"Where did you say just now? Oh, by the way, it's the Air Force. After the Air Force, there's the Navy." Ogarkov carefully studied the development trends of sea, land and air, as well as the future development trends of electronics. He concluded that the Navy It is necessary to have a maritime armed force that can prevent the United States from easily going to war to maintain strategic balance.

"The Soviet Navy has accelerated the construction of the Vine system to have the ability to globally monitor the U.S. fleet and guide strikes. It has accelerated the elimination of old warships and submarines, such as 1135, 956, 1134, 667, etc., and established new warships. The new fleet as the core includes 1154 and 1155 anti-submarine ships, 1144 and 1164 cruisers, and aircraft carriers equipped with new MiG-29k and Su-33 carrier-based aircraft, especially in the hands of the navy. The only Kiev-class aircraft carrier that has not been released has been dealt with as soon as possible. Although the combat power of the three aircraft carriers Varyag, Ulyanovsk, and Kuznetsov cannot shake the United States' maritime dominance, But at least it can protect the interests of the Soviet waters from any infringement. While forming three aircraft carrier battle groups, if economic capabilities allow in the future, one more aircraft carrier should be added to form four aircraft carriers to rival the American Nimitz class. degree.”

"Then equipped with the 3s14u1 modular vertical launch system, capable of launching "Caliber" cruising frigates and offshore frigates with a range of more than 2,700 kilometers. It is capable of launching 72 "Caliber" or "Gem" cruising 949am Cruise nuclear submarines include 971/945/885 attack nuclear submarines capable of launching "Caliber" cruises, 06363 conventional submarines capable of launching "Caliber" cruises, "North Wind God" ballistic nuclear submarines and a large number of new logistics supply ships. "

"The core of fleet operations is for surface ships to cover nuclear submarines and cooperate with the vine system to conduct long-range attacks. Improve the rapid response capabilities and global delivery capabilities of naval infantry units, especially the 55th Guards Naval Infantry Division, to create a sharp knife for the Red Navy's external operations. ”

After listening to Marshal Ogarkov's plan to give a brief answer, even Yanayev was a little shocked. Just when he wanted to say something, the other party waved his hand to interrupt Yanayev and continued, "The next step is Regarding our troops, the Strategic Rocket Force upgrades all active ballistics and accelerates the development and equipment of Topol M and new Yars ballistics to protect the Soviet Union’s homeland security and prevent surprise attacks by NATO.”

Marshal Ogarkov was previously the head of the General Directorate of Strategic Deception. Even after retiring from that position, he still had access to intelligence on the Soviet Union's high-end weapons, so he could put forward transformative suggestions for the Soviet Union's current weaknesses.

"There are only so many suggestions I can make. There are other more detailed plans in the report document I submitted to General Secretary Yanayev." Ogarkov touched the sweat on his forehead. He said cheerfully, "It's been a long time since anyone heard me say so many words."

But when Marshal Ogarkov finished speaking, Yanayev's brows furrowed even more tightly. This was simply a bottomless pit of armaments, and many areas needed to be overthrown and started over.

"This plan is really a heavy military expenditure that can bring down the Soviet economy." Yanayev smiled bitterly and hinted, "But if this plan is really to be completed, it will take less than ten years. Time cannot complete it. In other words, it will take at least 2005 to complete all modernization change projects from now on. ”

Marshal Ogarkov's smile froze on his face. After hearing ten years, Marshal Ogarkov shook his head and said, "Then please General Secretary Yanayev to fulfill my last wish. Maybe." , I won’t live for ten years.”

"I will never help you implement it. You have to complete the plan you specified yourself." Yanayev said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "But now the Soviet defense department cannot do without the existence of your think tank."

"What else can a dying old man do besides receiving a pension and waiting to die?" Marshal Ogarkov suddenly became sad, "My health is getting worse day by day, and I passed away only a few days ago. Before I leave, I want to do one thing, which is the last thing I do for my motherland.”

"Marshal Ogarkov, you..." Yanayev didn't know how to answer for a moment. It was already a miracle that Ogarkov, who was supposed to have died two years ago, could survive to this day.

"So General Secretary Yanayev, this is my last request. I want to see a modern Soviet army, a powerful Soviet army that is not afraid of the Soviet army of any country. Please promise me to reform the army. Implement it.”

Marshal Ogarkov's vision suddenly became blurry. He turned his head and looked out the window. The red walls of the Kremlin appeared and disappeared in front of him, magnificent against the blue sky.

All this peaceful and beautiful scenery made him suddenly sigh with emotion.

"My motherland is so beautiful."

The mountains and rivers are magnificent and the times are peaceful.

This is the wish of every Soviet veteran who experienced the cruel baptism of World War II.

"Yes, it's so beautiful." Yanayev agreed.

"I really hope to see my motherland dominate the world in my lifetime."

(The error of the Sukhoi Design Bureau has been corrected. Except for Mikoyan, Sukhoi will often be confused. These two articles thank the book friend General Yi Yulong for sorting out the scattered conceptual system and becoming the transformation and upgrading of the Soviet army. Detailed plan. I also hope that more book friends will provide reasonable and valuable opinions on this book.)
