Recently, the Russian Aerospace Forces Engels Air Force Base and Dayagilevo Air Force Base were attacked by Ukraine. The former is stationed in an -95MS fleet and an -160 fleet. These places are stationed in a large number of strategic bombers by the Russian army. The latter stationed in Tu-22MS, Tu-95MS, Tu-134UBL, An-26 and Il-78, which are all important large combat aircraft bases of the Russian army. According to common sense, the former is the base camp of the Russian Aerospace Forces strategic bombers, and the latter also stationed a large number of strategic bombers and special aircraft, but was attacked by the Ukrainian army. In this air strike, several strategic bombers were damaged.

The damaged Russian Tu-22M3 bomber

The reason is that Ukraine's attack on Russia has always been limited. The Ukrainian army has few offensive weapons. Apart from Neptune's anti-ship missiles, "Dound" ballistic missiles, a small number of suicide drones and suicide unmanned boats, the Ukrainian army does not have many big guys in its hands, so it has always been able to attack shallow-depth targets in Russia. This time, the Russian army's two important strategic bomber bases that are more than 500 kilometers away from the border were suicide drones modified by the Tu-141 "Swift" large-scale battle tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

"Swift" large-scale battle tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft was designed in the 1970s. It has a length of 14.33 meters, a wingspan of 3.88 meters, and a maximum take-off weight of 6.13 tons. It takes off with a rocket boost and is recovered through a parachute after fuel is exhausted. At that time, the aircraft's maximum flight speed could reach 1,100 kilometers per hour and its cruising speed reached 1,000 kilometers per hour. It is a high subsonic drone with a maximum range of 1,000 kilometers.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, most of the design information of this reconnaissance drone was obtained by Ukraine, and then after modernization and upgrading in 2014, the equipment was re-produced. It is speculated that it should have streamlined some of the electronic equipment and then used the load compartment that originally carried the camera as a warhead. However, due to the small wingspan and poor control performance, the accuracy of the "Swift" suicide drone is actually quite poor.

In this attack, the result of "Swift" was to injure 5 people and damage 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers and 1 Tu-22MS strategic bomber. The damage is caused by the crashed shrapnel. The tail nozzle of the Ti-22MS was damaged and can be put back into use after replacing the engine and maintaining the fuselage. The Russian strategic bombers were not directly destroyed, but after all, strategic bombers are deterrent weapons, with small amounts of equipment, and damaging one is a huge loss. After all, these strategic bombers are no longer produced.

However, this is unlikely to be good news for Russia. Generally speaking, S-400 air defense missile systems are deployed near strategic bomber bases. In addition, some short-range air defense missiles must be deployed. In addition, they are also "Doer" or "Armor" field air defense systems. Why can't these air defense systems stop such an drone ? You should know that this drone has a smaller wingspan and its fuselage is even longer than the MiG-17 fighter , and it is actually not a small target. If you can't intercept

, forget it, the key is that these Russian air force bases are not even prepared for them. You should know that the United States has always provided intelligence support to Ukraine, including satellite pictures; and these two air force bases frequently take off strategic bombers and launch cruise missile at Ukraine, which is impossible not to attract hatred from the Ukrainian army; if you are slightly prepared for long-range strikes such as offensive weapons such as Ukrainian army, then at least put these strategic bombers in the hangar or the apron separated by explosion-proof walls.

Compared with the hangar, the construction cost of explosion-proof wall is very low. Although it cannot defend against the "palm technique falling from the sky", it can at least defend against the impact of fragments caused by explosions; the temporary construction of hangars at airports where a large number of strategic bombers is deployed is a strong shield to prevent these important weapons from reducing non-combat troops. However, the Russian army relaxed its vigilance and believed that the Ukrainian army was unable to strike deep targets within Russia, but they still ignored the fact that Ukraine was a former military-industrial power. In any case, the Ukrainian army successfully attacked Russia's airport using suicide drones, causing partial damage to the Russian bomber .

For China, every loss that Russia suffers on the battlefield is worth taking seriously, analyzing and learning from it. In various future military operations, the People's Liberation Army cannot be so careless. For example, although Ukraine's military industry was completely destroyed in the first phase of the combat operation and the United States' military aid to Ukraine also decreased slightly, these large inventory left by the Soviet Union, coupled with civilian electronic equipment, can still exert a certain amount of power.

Previously, the United States has been clamoring to crack down on China. Several think tanks have suggested that the US military launch a strike on oil depots, transportation hubs, tunnels, etc. along the southeastern coast of China during wartime. It is obvious that military airports and other places are also listed here. These think tanks have always used any means to hinder China's military operations. They may also incite other hostile forces to use long-range drones or suicide drones modified from retired fighter jets to attack China. We should also learn enough experience in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

First of all, the PLA will deploy a large number of strategic bombers in the future, such as H-6K, H-6N and H-6J bombers. Generally, the airports deployed are very densely placed. Once they are hit, the losses will be very large. Moreover, there will be a H-20 bomber in service in the future. So at present, the PLA can completely change its traditional deployment from its own deployment, build a hard enough aircraft fortress, with a level of protection sufficient to prevent attacks from drilling ammunition, and the deployment is dispersed, so that even if it is attacked, the chance of a precious strategic bomber being attacked will be reduced.

Secondly, the United States' reconnaissance system is relatively complete, and various reconnaissance satellites and other equipment often pass through. It adopts flexible deployment in the tactics of deploying bombers, and can be deployed in multiple bases in turn. In addition, the simulation model is used to deceive the other party's reconnaissance. The airports the other party reconnaissance may not necessarily have bombers. This reduces the probability of being attacked by confusing the other party. If it is not deployed at the same airport, the other party cannot achieve accurate reconnaissance.

Furthermore, is active protection, and sufficient air defense missile systems are also needed to directly intercept cruise missiles and suicide drones; my country is currently equipped with Hongqi-19, Hongqi-9, S400 long-range air defense missiles, Hongqi-16 medium-range air defense missiles and Hongqi-11 terminal defense systems, which can be set up in batches and at different distances. Large drones are easily shot down by air defense missiles. As long as they are properly deployed and carefully observed, they can be intercepted.

In addition, in order to deal with such a situation, China needs a powerful electronic countermeasure system on the one hand, and even needs to consider interfering with various satellites in the United States. On the other hand, it needs to take good protection, considering backups of oil depots, transportation hubs, tunnels and military airports, or strengthening the hangars and forts of military airport and laying explosion-proof walls; in addition, certain false targets are needed. Only in this way can the risk be minimized.
