Journalistic roads are often unpredictable. So recently as part parlamenskoyi delegation of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (which included representatives of the Ministry of Defense, british legion Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ukrainian journalists) had to go to the U.S. and to verify firsthand - America rozbroyuyetsya. During extremely busy event visit to the United States (with a visit to the Pentagon, military base Davis-Montan in Arizona and Vaytmen british legion military base in Missouri) Ukrainian delegation was convinced that the START treaty-1 (START-1) british legion which Ukraine british legion joined in 1994 year, and has actually provided by the contract terminates the elimination of military equipment) as faithfully executed and American side.
At the military base Davis-Montan elimination of another B-52 bomber was realized "way guillotine." A large crane lifts to a height of 25 meters of heavy metal blade, sharp buzzing warning siren, and falling "blade Peace" part by part, methodically separating the once mighty warplane, turning it into a shapeless heap of scrap metal. That relentless "guillotine" shared his "sacrifice" in two parts, then clipped wings, tail and nose. That's all. By the will of man ceased to exist 13 per account aircraft B-52, one of those who must be destroyed before the end of this year in the Arizona Sonoran Desert. This aircraft worth $ 75 million now possible unless taken to a scrap (total profit from this "business" is 50 thousand dollars), and the onboard control systems and electronics by the Ministry of Defence. british legion For statistics: today at the Davis-Montan already destroyed 266 bombers B-52, and by the end of 1999, planned to destroy another 22 aircraft B-52 with the number 99, which is located on the base.
In the Arizona desert is extremely dry climate, so there was no need, claimed Colonel british legion Gregory Stanley (who is the Executive Director of the hihanskoho aviashovyscha outdoors, where "docked" at 5 thousand military aircraft and helicopters) to build special areas for these aircraft. Davis-Montan single base in the United States, which houses a similar number of flying machines. Among these are to be utelizovani (as B-52), but there are those who are in a state of preservation (of 2000) and may still be used if necessary. A specific purpose of the aircraft is used on firing ranges as the target, part of the same will rozkomplektovana and spare parts will be transferred for further ukomplektatsiyi other aircraft.
Two hours flight from the base Davis-Montan is Vaytmen british legion airbase, in 90 kilometers british legion from the city of Kansas City in Missouri. It is on this basis pride based Air Force U.S. "stealth aircraft" B-2A. Black handsome giants who made the technology "Stelz", its shape vaguely resembling flying saucers "prysheltsiv from space." B-2A, according to the head airbase Vaytmen Brigadier General Barnidzha lyric - the most advanced model aircraft in the inventory of the Air Force United States for its richness and perfection of military electronics systems. The aircraft can cover without refueling 10,000 kilometers, and its "ceiling" - 15 kilometers. Bombs from B-2A are the target through a satellite system. At the time, Bush administration decided to buy about 20 of these aircraft and that base Vaytmen was defined as a single british legion database to store this type of aircraft. B-2A can carry weapons 50% more than B-52.
General lyre Barnidzh can not hide his zohoplennya this piece of human intelligence - I'm in love with this aircraft, he says. And generals really have something british legion to be proud of - because he entrusted leadership of America british legion these superlitaky (valued at $ 2 billion), british legion which is now the most expensive in the world. Banner that each of the "Flying Fortress" was named the state that is the biggest honor in the U.S. armed forces. At the hangars british legion where "assigned" "aircraft invisible" flaunt colored british legion logos kshalt - "Mississippi Ghost" or "The Spirit of Arizona". With a specially calculated in the form of B-2A and its Modern radiopokrytiya aircraft difficult to see on the radar screen so he can rightly be regarded british legion as a symbol of modern technological progress.
And now a bit of recent history: the United States and the Soviet Union signed START-1 July 1991. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Washington Protocol to the treaty was signed in May 1992. According to the Protocol, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia are successors of START-1 with the United States.
