В общем, что утекло от СССР в США в 88году:
The front reconnaissance-strike complex (front RUX}, like the PLSS, has
the function-or-hitting targets which emit radio-waYes. In other words, its
targets are radars, such as guidance and control radars for Nike Hercules and
Hawk, and others.
Composition. In principle all reconnaissance-strike posts will have three
components: reconnaissance means, control means, and weapons. These elements
are not mechanically combined, but rather, as it is written in the sources,
11 integrated" in an automatic mode. According to some data, this is a revolution
both in terms of military science and in ter11s of technology.
Reconnaissance means. The AN-72R aircraft with electronic reconnaissance,
guidance, and relay equipment. This aircraft is specially designed for the
reconnaissance-strike complex. It actually exists; in any event, foreign
sources have photographs of -it. The zone of reconnaissance coverage is 500 km.
Control means. The automated control system of the reconnaissance-strike
complex is linked with the MAHEVR auto~ated troop control system and the ETALON
air control system.
Weapons. Bomber and fighter-bomber squadrons with the corresponding
armaments, as well as missile battalions which are part ot a tront missile
brigade. Their attack capabilities are determined by the capabilities of the
missile armaments.
Principle of operation. The AH-72R reconnaissance aircraft patrols or
conducts reconnaissance at a distance of 100-150 km from the forward edge of the
battle area. The data obtained by the aircraft can be relayed and transmitted
to ~ ground control center and from there to the weapons, i.e., to flghter
bomber·aircraft or to a missile battalion. We have missiles which are specially
designed for this complex, and the kill range is 110 km plus the operational
radius of the alrc:·at't;. In general the aircraft -can [deliver a missile] to a
distance of 500-600 km, that is, to the depth of reconnaissance. However, the
R-900 missile can quite handily cover a range of 600 km.
II. The army reconnaissance-strike complex. This complex is also organic;
there is a reconnaissance-strike complex commander.
Reconnaissance means. The complex also includes AN-72 aircraft with
reconnaissance equipment. The zone of reconnaissance coverage is 100 km -wide
and 200 km deep.
Weapons. Missile battalions of operational-tactical ·missiles and tactical
miss~les and battalions of multiple-launch rocket systems. The equipment makes
it possible to transmit data from the AN-72 to the army intelligence chief's
post and to other weapons. (Word illegible], of course, Is a closed system.
Capabilities. As has already been mentioned, cluster warheads have been
developed for the AK and TOCHXA missiles. That is, missiles with self-guided
cluster submunitions have been developed which have the capability of taking out
a tank company with a single missile or a single salvo of a multiple-launch
rocket system
Подытожим: слушателям академии генштаба говорили что Ан-72Р в составе фронтового РУК - аналог PLSS.
А вот с армейским РУК на базе Ан-72 без буквы - непонятно. Дело запутывается, т.к. на фото Ан-72Р - протяженные антенны РЛСБО.
