Aikoinaan sain hyvän vinkin "Jos haluat ymmärtää venäläisen ilmapuolustuskenraalin ajatuksia niin laita kartta pois ja ota esille karttapallo!"
Mihin neuvostoliitto on tuollaista isoa kömpelöä mutta pitkän toimintasäteen, suuren nopeuden ja tehokkaan tutkan omaavaa konetta olisi tarvinnut? Lyhin lentoreitti Yhdysvalloista Venäjän pohjoisosiin on ylittää napajäätikkö. Siperiaan nousseet kaupungit luonnollisesti tarvitsivat suojaa risteilyohjuksilta eikä pahitteeksi olisi ollut vaikka B-52:t ja B-1b:t olisi napsittu jo kaukana rannikosta ennen kuin ne olisivat edes ehtineet laukaista ohjuksensa.
Toinen ilmiselvä käyttötarkoitus oli taistelu Atlantin herruudesta. Tuollaisella koneella olisi varmasti ollut kiva hätyytellä esim. Islannin ja Norjan välisellä merialueella toimivia suto-koneita. Myös ilmakuljetukset pohjoisella Atlantilla olisivat olleet turvattomia. Färsaarien tai Norjan rannikon valtaamisen jälkeen koneella olisi mukavasti saatellut vaikka Iso-Britanniaan tai merisaattueita vastaan hyökkäileviä Backfire pommittajia. Islannin valtaus olisi avannut myös koneelle melkoisen pelikentän.

It is a long-range, twin-engine aircraft, originally designed to intercept Soviet bombers as they came in from the east to strike the United Kingdom.
Its primary purpose was to carry a large number of missiles and fly them far from base over the North Sea and Northern Atlantic; once on station it needed to have good endurance, and then be able to engage and destroy targets at long range.

Respected Leader
Kiitos Hejsanille! Melkonen lista, näyttää hyvältä paperilla vaan miten todellisuudessa? Joka tapauksessa tuota kun katselee, niin kyllä meidän pitäisi saada ainakin ne 22 "Steel Rainia" täyteen iskukuntoon. Eli GPS -ohj. kuorma-ammuksia ja ATACMS ohjuksia perkuleesti.
Laitan tämän vaan huvikseen (för skojs skull)
Venäläisjoukot Leningraadin sotaläänissä 1988/89 eli kylmän sodan aikana
12 Divisioona
1250 Tanks
2800 Guns
350 combat aircraft (ja tässä ei ole mukana Air defence troops jolla on 1500-2000 lentokoneita ympäri NL ja ei laivaston koneita)

No nythän on sikäli iloinen tilanne, että niitä on ilmeisesti tarkoitus hankkiakin tulevaisuudessa. Ja tämä viivytys ei sinällään ole ongelma, kunhan niitä on kun tarvitaan. Saisivat nyt joskus sen hakeutuvan PST-ammuksen valmiiksi, niin sitten olisi jotakin mitä hankkia.
