And there is rotation ... And who rotate, if NOT DKBF ???

EMNIP, usually in Tartus the floating workshops of the Black Sea Fleet - PM-56 and PM-138 stood and changed each other. Now they decided to connect the BF - a freshly repaired PM-82.

And how many of them do we have left in the fleets?

[Veteran]

Total 17 units: BF - 3, BSF - 2, SF - 4, Pacific Fleet - 8.

At the Pacific Fleet, in fact, they probably only number 8. The question is how much is in working condition.

[RASKAT]

Two are standing in Kamchatka, along with a floating barracks and a hospital. We can say that at the eternal joke, well, unless they are restored. I wonder if there are new projects, when will we start building?

[jonht]

Well, judging by ours (Kamchatsky), when these will fall to the ground at the pier (149PM seems to be on the move). In general, do not wait long .... Back in 1995, they were standing on a pyzhe near them, though there were more of them then (like 4, I don’t remember exactly). And the dock with a mini submarine was flooded there in the same or in 1996. True, almost all the scrap metal from there was already raked by metalworkers.

At the Pacific Fleet, the PMs are listed in the ranks - 15, 49, 52, 59, 92, 97, 156 of the 304 project, and which of them are really operational - let the Pacific say.
PM - 149 did not exist, probably, it is PM - 49.

[jonht]

Yes PM-49, typo. Litter.
