The Heavenly Forces / Russian Aerospace Defense / Pantsir missile system / Igla / Verba
Back in the time during the field entrenchment era people knew where an attack may come from: allies were behind, enemies – in front. Even when a threat came from above, people were informed by increasing aircraft engine roar and could try to take cover. Today death glides silently from the skies. Attacks from the air may come even in a peaceful time: Abqaiq–Khurais incident when drones were used to attack oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia or assassination attempt on the president of Venezuela.
In this episode of Combat Approved you will see some unique footage of missile tests and will learn more about not only specific models of the Russian Aerospace Defense missile systems, but how the entire system works.

The 57th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, also known as "The Black Knights of Keflavik", is an inactive United States Air Force unit. The 57 FIS was last stationed at Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland. It was inactivated on 1 March 1995. In 1962 ADC replaced the squadron's F-89s with newer Convair F-102 Delta Dagger supersonic interceptors, the F-89s generally being worn-out after nearly a decade of continual interceptions. Challenges by the 57th FIS to Soviet aircraft on flights over the North Atlantic and along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States to bases in Cuba continued throughout the 1960s. The first McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II aircraft was assigned to the squadron on 16 April 1973, as TAC was replacing its F-4C's with F-4E models at the end of the Vietnam War. By 30 June, the squadron. had six F-4Cs and additional F-4s were received in the third quarter of 1974. The last of the F-102s were replaced in early 1975 when additional F-4Cs were received from TAC squadrons at Luke AFB and George AFB; the last F-4C arriving in March 1976.
The Convair F-102 Delta Dagger was an American interceptor aircraft that was built as part of the backbone of the United States Air Force's air defenses in the late 1950s. Entering service in 1956, its main purpose was to intercept invading Soviet strategic bomber fleets (primarily the Tupolev Tu-95) during the Cold War. Designed and manufactured by Convair, 1,000 F-102s were built.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. It first entered service in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it was also adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid-1960s had become a major part of their air arms.

In this short U.S. Air Force Aerospace Defense Command News Digest, No. 94 “Fours For Defense,” viewers see how the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (the “Black Knights”) based in Keflavik, Iceland. The year 1975 saw the Black Knights convert from using Convair F-102 Delta Daggers to McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIs for running scramble sorties when Soviet aircraft enter the NATO airspace. The digest opens with a shot of two Air Force men playing pool. A siren sounds and they quickly put on their flight suits. Two Delta Daggers taxi to the runway and take off (00:55). A man draws coordinates and trajectories on a glass board. The two planes approach a Soviet Tupolev Tu-95 long-range bomber (01:48). Lt. Col. Thompson, commander of the squadron, speaks to the camera about using F-4s during scramble sorties and the reason for the switch from the F-102s (02:24).

An official film made by the U.S. Air Force in the late 1970s, this Aerospace Defense Command News Digest #93 takes a look at the United States' nuclear triad and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. The film begins with images of the B-52, Polaris missile, and the Minuteman missile, which are known as the "Triad forces" of nuclear defense. Major General Otis C. Moore then describes the mission of the Aerospace Defense Command and the 14th Aerospace Force, which is to warn the President of the United States prior to any attack by the enemy, so that an appropriate response can be made. The film then presents a tour of Cheyenne Mountain control complext as presented by Col. Barney Sakowski. The Cheyenne Mountain Complex is a military installation and nuclear bunker located in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, which hosts the activities of several tenant units. Also located in Colorado Springs is Peterson Air Force Base, where the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters are located.
The complex was built under 2,000 feet (610 m) of granite on 2 hectares (5 acres). Fifteen three-story buildings are protected from movement by an earthquake or explosion by a system of giant springs that the buildings sit on and flexible pipe connectors to limit the operational effect of movement. A total of more than 1,000 springs are designed to prevent any of the 15 buildings from shifting more than one inch. The complex is the only high altitude Department of Defense facility certified to be able to sustain an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). There is a large quantity of cots for most of the personnel and suites for "top brass" within the nuclear bunker. Amenities include a medical facility, store, cafeteria, and fitness centers inside and outside the mountain.
The 25-ton North blast door seen at 5:30 is the main entrance to another blast door (background) beyond which the side tunnel branches into access tunnels to the main chambers. The bunker is built to deflect a 30 megaton nuclear explosion as close as 2 kilometers (1.2 mi). Within a mountain tunnel are sets of 25-ton blast doors and another for the civil engineering department. The doors were built so that they can always be opened when needed. Should a nuclear blast hit the building, they are designed to withstand a blast wave. There is a network of blast valves with unique filters to capture air-borne chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear contaminants.
The 1st Aerospace Surveillance and Control Squadron, a unit of the USAF Air Defense Command, was activated on 6 February 1961, organized on 14 February 1961, and became operational on 1 July 1961 as the SPACETRACK[3]:38 component of NORAD Space Detection and Tracking System (SPADATS). It was the operational version of research and development Project Space Track. Effective 1 October 1961, the Squadron was assigned to the 9th Aerospace Defense Division, which had been activated on 15 July 1961. Until April 1966, when operations were moved to the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex, 1st Aero was located on the bottom two floors of Ent AFB building P4 Annex, a former hospital building, adjacent to the NORAD command center. The Space Defense Command's 1st Aerospace Control Squadron moved from Ent AFB to Cheyenne Mountain in April 1966.

In this U.S. Air Force Aerospace Defense Command News Digest (No. 91), likely from 1972, viewers see the tests conducted on a Boeing EC-137D Sentry (later named the Boeing E-3 Sentry) as part of the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) program. The film opens footage of an AWACS ceremony in Seattle, where Brigadier General Kendall Russell and Boeing Program Manager Mark Miller speak to an audience about the AWACS tests of the aircraft, known as the Brassboard program. An EC-137D taxis out of a hanger and takes off. The ship flies through the air (01:30). Lt. Col. Robert B. Mitchell speaks to the camera about testing the aircraft. Men monitor radar screens in a control room (02:14). Footage shows the plane taking off from a runway, then the control room of the 25th Air Division’s SAGE Facility at McChord Air Force Base, WA. One of the ADC’s Convair F-106 Delta Darts takes off from a runway during the tests. A member of the 25th Air Division monitors a computer (04:01). Test engineers monitor tracking screens inside one of the EC-137Ds during an in-flight test (04:35). The large aircraft taxis at a runway in Colorado Springs, CO (05:10). Viewers see a design review meeting of operational command members for the AWACS program. An EC-137D starts to taxi on the snowy runway in Colorado (07:10); then it takes off into the sunny sky, concluding the film.
An airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system is an airborne radar picket system designed to detect aircraft, ships and vehicles at long ranges and perform command and control of the battlespace in an air engagement by directing fighter and attack aircraft strikes. AEW&C units are also used to carry out surveillance, including over ground targets and frequently perform C2BM (command and control, battle management) functions similar to an Air Traffic Controller given military command over other forces. When used at altitude, the radar on the aircraft allows the operators to detect and track targets and distinguish between friendly and hostile aircraft much farther away than a similar ground-based radar. Like a ground-based radar, it can be detected by opposing forces, but because of its mobility, it is much less vulnerable to counter-attack.
The Boeing E-3 Sentry, commonly known as AWACS, is an American airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by Boeing. Derived from the Boeing 707, it provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications, and is used by the United States Air Force, NATO, Royal Air Force, French Air Force, and Royal Saudi Air Force. The E-3 is distinguished by the distinctive rotating radar dome (ROTODOME) above the fuselage. Production ended in 1992 after 68 aircraft had been built.

Made by Northrop Aircraft for the U.S. Air Force Air Defense Command, this promotional film MRS. JONES, MEET YOUR PARTNERS features General Nathan F. Twining speaking about the group's mission: to protect the USA from enemy attack, especially nuclear attack. It also showcases the F-89 Scorpion interceptor. The film is a bit fragmentary but apparently featured a civilian housewife "Mrs. Jones", who has volunteered as a aircraft spotter with the Ground Observer Corps, touring the advanced USAF ADC infrastructure. At 55 seconds, the film shows the Air Defense Direction Center, the heart of the nation's air defense system. Here, the nation's skies are constantly scanned and then F-89D aircraft dispatched to intercept any hostile incoming aircraft. At 2:00, a large table is shown where markers are moved to indicate air patrols over various sectors, and information logged and coordinated. U.S. Navy and Army representatives are shown working at the center. At 3:00, Mrs. Jones visits a squadron of F-89D Scorpion interceptors, designed for all weather interception. At 3:30, the aircraft is shown in a cartoon shooting down an enemy bomber using some of its 104 wing-mounted rockets.
At 5:30, F-89 pilots are shown, and their training and regimen described. A magazine ad is seen stating "The Soviets now have ability to launch an atomic attack on us!" At 6:30, the film shows how Soviet bombers might operate low to evade radar detection. The film points out at 6:56, that due to these kind of evasion tactics, civilian spotters like Mrs. Jones are vital. A phone call quickly relays information to a regional center, and then up the chain of command until the aircraft can be intercepted. At 7:50, F-89s are scrambled and pilots race to their aircraft as part of the alert, with sirens going off. The jets race skyward while at 9:20, Army troops are seen racing for anti-aircraft guns, and at 9:50, U.S. Navy personnel go on alert. At 10:00, the Scorpions (including one with red wingtips indicating it might be a test or prototype aircraft) continue their pursuit. At 10:50, an interception of the bogie is made and confirmation sent by teletype. At 12:10, a command is given to destroy the incoming aircraft and at 12:35 slow-motion footage shows the Scorpion's rockets being fired and destroying an "enemy aircraft" (which appears to be a B-17, likely a drone from a test). The film ends praising the F-89-D Home Defender and thanking the 4771st Ground Observer Squadron and the Pasadena Filter Center.
The Northrop F-89 Scorpion was an American all-weather interceptor built during the 1950s, the first jet-powered aircraft designed as such from the outset to enter service. Though its straight wings limited its performance, it was among the first United States Air Force (USAF) jet fighters equipped with guided missiles and notably the first combat aircraft armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons (the unguided Genie rocket).
The Ground Observer Corps (GOC) traced its roots to World War II when 1.5 million civilian volunteers were enrolled by the Army Air Forces to man 14,000 observation posts positioned along the nation's coasts. In February 1950, Continental Air Command Commander General Ennis C. Whitehead proposed the formation of a 160,000 civilian volunteer GOC to operate 8,000 observation posts scattered in gaps between the proposed radar network sites. With the belief that the Korean War served as a precursor to a possible Soviet attack, ADC had little difficulty recruiting volunteers. In 1951, some 210,000 GOC volunteers manning 8,000 observation posts and twenty-six filter centers were tested for the first time in nationwide exercises. A plan dubbed "Operation SKYWATCH," was initiated on July 14, 1952. Eventually over 800,000 volunteers stood alternating shifts at 16,000 observation posts and seventy-three filter centers. By the late 1950s, deployment of the short-range AN/FPS-14 radar resolved the problem of detecting low-flying planes and the GOC was terminated on January 31, 1959.

The film is a bit fragmentary but apparently featured a civilian housewife "Mrs. Jones", who has volunteered as a aircraft spotter with the Ground Observer Corps, touring the advanced USAF ADC infrastructure. At 55 seconds, the film shows the Air Defense Direction Center, the heart of the nation's air defense system. Here, the nation's skies are constantly scanned and then F-89D aircraft dispatched to intercept any hostile incoming aircraft. At 2:00, a large table is shown where markers are moved to indicate air patrols over various sectors, and information logged and coordinated. U.S. Navy and Army representatives are shown working at the center. At 3:00, Mrs. Jones visits a squadron of F-89D Scorpion interceptors, designed for all weather interception. At 3:30, the aircraft is shown in a cartoon shooting down an enemy bomber using some of its 104 wing-mounted rockets.
At 5:30, F-89 pilots are shown, and their training and regimen described. A magazine ad is seen stating "The Soviets now have ability to launch an atomic attack on us!" At 6:30, the film shows how Soviet bombers might operate low to evade radar detection. The film points out at 6:56, that due to these kind of evasion tactics, civilian spotters like Mrs. Jones are vital. A phone call quickly relays information to a regional center, and then up the chain of command until the aircraft can be intercepted. At 7:50, F-89s are scrambled and pilots race to their aircraft as part of the alert, with sirens going off. The jets race skyward while at 9:20, Army troops are seen racing for anti-aircraft guns, and at 9:50, U.S. Navy personnel go on alert. At 10:00, the Scorpions (including one with red wingtips indicating it might be a test or prototype aircraft) continue their pursuit. At 10:50, an interception of the bogie is made and confirmation sent by teletype. At 12:10, a command is given to destroy the incoming aircraft and at 12:35 slow-motion footage shows the Scorpion's rockets being fired and destroying an "enemy aircraft" (which appears to be a B-17, likely a drone from a test). The film ends praising the F-89-D Home Defender and thanking the 4771st Ground Observer Squadron and the Pasadena Filter Center.
The Northrop F-89 Scorpion was an American all-weather interceptor built during the 1950s, the first jet-powered aircraft designed as such from the outset to enter service. Though its straight wings limited its performance, it was among the first United States Air Force (USAF) jet fighters equipped with guided missiles and notably the first combat aircraft armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons (the unguided Genie rocket).
The Ground Observer Corps (GOC) traced its roots to World War II when 1.5 million civilian volunteers were enrolled by the Army Air Forces to man 14,000 observation posts positioned along the nation's coasts. In February 1950, Continental Air Command Commander General Ennis C. Whitehead proposed the formation of a 160,000 civilian volunteer GOC to operate 8,000 observation posts scattered in gaps between the proposed radar network sites. With the belief that the Korean War served as a precursor to a possible Soviet attack, ADC had little difficulty recruiting volunteers. In 1951, some 210,000 GOC volunteers manning 8,000 observation posts and twenty-six filter centers were tested for the first time in nationwide exercises. A plan dubbed "Operation SKYWATCH," was initiated on July 14, 1952. Eventually over 800,000 volunteers stood alternating shifts at 16,000 observation posts and seventy-three filter centers. By the late 1950s, deployment of the short-range AN/FPS-14 radar resolved the problem of detecting low-flying planes and the GOC was terminated on January 31, 1959.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands.
The Cheyenne Mountain Complex is located at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS), a short distance from NORAD and USNORTHCOM headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station falls under Air Force Space Command and hosts the activities of several tenant units.
At the height of the Cold War in the late 1950s, the idea of a hardened command and control center was conceptualized as a defense against long-range Soviet bombers. The Army Corps of Engineers supervised the excavation of Cheyenne Mountain and the construction of an operational center within the granite mountain. The Cheyenne Mountain facility became fully operational as the NORAD Combat Operations Center on April 20, 1966.

Back in the time during the field entrenchment era people knew where an attack may come from: allies were behind, enemies – in front. Even when a threat came from above, people were informed by increasing aircraft engine roar and could try to take cover. Today death glides silently from the skies. Attacks from the air may come even in a peaceful time: Abqaiq–Khurais incident when drones were used to attack oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia or assassination attempt on the president of Venezuela.
In this episode of Combat Approved you will see some unique footage of missile tests and will learn more about not only specific models of the Russian Aerospace Defense missile systems, but how the entire system works.
