AIRPORTER, DID THE CONPROMITATION OF THE BARTOSZEWICZ ARTURA

According to the Constitution, the president is the head of the armed forces. For this reason, the individual seeking the highest dignity in the state should be expected to have even an simple cognition of military status. So besides about what our army needs immensely and what it doesn't request at all.

The aircraft carriers are immense ships, and they are incapable of operating alone. all aircraft carrier present sailing on the seas and oceans of the planet is always accompanied by an armada of another ships. Armada is made up of more vessels than the sum of present-day Polish Navy. All this is due to the fact that the aircraft carrier is simply a kind of floating city. Thousands of people service each, and there is always quite a few costly equipment on each one. As an highly large unit, the aircraft carrier is besides an easy mark to hit. And due to the fact that an effective blow to specified a goal can change the destiny of the largest even the operation – if only on an aqueduct of war it appears it always becomes the goal number one. Therefore, it must be guarded, guarded, constantly surrounded by ships continually tracking airspace, water and submarines. And, of course, equipped with a full bunch of weapons to destruct missiles, torpedoes, to sink anything that could possibly be a threat.

In the summertime of 1982, after the Falklandier War broke out, Margarett Thatcher sent almost the full British fleet to almost the another end of the world. It was besides part of the aircraft carriers, although somewhat different from their American counterparts today. The British speciality was the Harrier aircraft – vertical launch fighters. They did not request a runway, so British aircraft carriers could be somewhat smaller and besides – somewhat cheaper. The Argentines, who just then seized the Falklas (called the Malwins by them) decided to give the British fleet 1 powerful blow. To his task, they had a very tiny number of powerful earth class rockets – water. possibly they had 1 single rocket capable of sinking specified a large ship. And that's the rocket they launched. The British aircraft carrier was fortunate due to the fact that a akin "radio echo" hit another ship. And this luck was little – the flagship British destroyer Sheffiield went down, which meant the death of a large condition of his crew. Although the sunk British ship was very modern (it had only been in service for a fewer years), it was equipped with the best radar equipment, but information about the threat only appeared 45 seconds before a powerful rocket struck. It could have been akin with a British aircraft carrier. And then not only the losses would be enormously greater. The sinking of the aircraft carrier may have meant that the war had to be stopped and that the Falkland Islands were lost. As a consequence of the mistakes of the British missile, however, the war was won by the British, the archipelago regained and to settle the bills sank the Argentine battleship General Belgrano. And that meant that it was the Argentines who suffered greater losses than the British in this conflict.

This communicative should tell us how delicate aircraft carriers are and, above all, who needs them at all. Well, only the navy operating on the largest waters. It is simply a weapon for large powers, for colonial empires or for world-wide policies. During planet War II, aircraft carriers primarily had Americans and Japanese. For 1 reason – they fought for control of the Pacific. alternatively poorly ended German airfield ambitions. The 1 who built the Soviets was and is alternatively a large laughing stock. In the case of the russian Union or Russia, having carriers is besides simply pointless. For all the straits of the planet are controlled by possible enemies of Russia. Even if it had a large fleet equipped with aircraft carriers – it would not be able to bring them to the large aquenas. For this reason, submarines are the foundation of the Russian fleet. As was the case with Kriegsmarine in the years of planet War II, during which Germans launched nearly 9 100 (!!!) u – boots almost giving up water units (the most celebrated and largest Bismarck served them very briefly). It is hard for China to build aircraft carriers today. respective another countries are trying very hard to have them for reasons that are mostly prestigious. For rather incomprehensible reasons, Turkey is building its first aircraft carrier today. possibly they want to prosecute their ambitions in the large sea basin of the Mediterranean Sea.

In the case of Poland, there is no reason for our fleet to operate outside the Baltic Sea, which is simply a tiny sea. In terms of defence of this part of the Baltic, which is an area of Polish interests, it can be effectively controlled by sea aviation. It is worth having them all the more, due to the fact that planes or helicopters designed to fly over seawaters are besides large for another tasks. For this reason, this part of our army should be truly powerful. And it doesn't request any aircraft carriers, due to the fact that all the flying units have besides large ranges for aircraft or helicopters utilizing coastal airports.

If we are on the subject of maritime defence, let us add to that the fact that our Baltic Sea is the youngest and shallowst of all the seas of the world. And it has 1 more feature – it is the perfect sea for submarines. Although shallow, its bottom is highly diverse. It is 1 of the world's largest cemeteries of various ships and ships. Under the waters of this large wreckage, specified as the Baltic, the submarines operate and hide is highly easy. For this reason, we absolutely request at least a fewer good submarines. Most experts say we should have at least three. These minimorums are as much as would give a chance to defend against an attack from the sea with their perfect use. Note, however, that during the interwar period, erstwhile our sea border was much shorter, we had as many as 5 large submarines.

However, water units are little important. Of course, we request trawlers, submariners, rocket boats or patrol boats. However, they would not play a crucial function in the Baltic War. And the aircraft carrier? In the Baltic it is an thought completely “from the hat”. The thought of compromising the originator. An individual so large could be hard even to overcome the straits that affect the Baltic Sea.

The Polish army has immense needs. I'd be in favour of having atomic missiles in our hands. We should have them despite the most terrible even abroad sanctions that would attack us after we joined the “atomic club”. And alternatively of an aircraft carrier, it would be worth having, like, 3 atomic submarines, able to hide where no 1 can place them, and equipped with an arsenal capable of 1 volley, to end the past of half of Russia or all of Germany. Unlike our completely unnecessary carrier – the weapon I am talking about here is worth having. And having her declare the world's simplest defence doctrine. In 1 sentence: “Who attacks Poland does not exist”.
