"Comet 120M". The first passenger ship from Kalashnikov launched

80
First in stories the passenger ship launched the Kalashnikov. More specifically, the passenger ship was launched at the Vympel shipbuilding enterprise (Rybinsk). The company is a part of the Kalashnikov concern.

This is a high-speed hydrofoil Comet 120M.



The press service of Rostec cites the statement of the general director of the Rybinsk shipbuilding enterprise:
This is an important project for the company, opening up a new direction of our work - the construction of civilian vessels. The construction of five Komets is planned in the near future, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade has supported us in this. In total, we intend to place on the Black Sea about 20 units. By 2025, the civilian product line in our order portfolio should reach 30 percent.


"Comet 120M". The first passenger ship from Kalashnikov launched


The first “Comet 120M” will serve passengers on the route Sevastopol-Yalta. It is assumed that the first passengers will be able to use this type of maritime transport as early as next year. Engaged in such transportation will be created by the company “Sea-speed passenger transportation”.

The glorified Valentina Tereshkova, the first female cosmonaut, became the “godmother” of the first 120M comet.

From the message Rostec press service:
The designer of the new vessel is the Central Design Bureau for hydrofoil vessels named after them. R.Ye.Alekseeva "(Nizhny Novgorod). The RT-Chemcomposite holding, which supplies the glazing for Comet 120M, takes part in equipping the ship. "Comet 120M" is designed to carry passengers in the coastal sea zone.

Comet 120M can take on board up to 120 passengers. The maximum travel speed is about 65 km / h. The ship differs from the Soviet version of “Komet” with increased comfort, the presence of a business class cabin and an automatic system for reducing the level of pitching and overload.

        In the seventies and 80s, comets were built in Poti in the city of SSR, at the sea plant named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze! We walked along the entire Black Sea coast. It was very convenient. I sat in Sevastopol for several hours by sea and you are in Odessa. What were the peaceful, wonderful times guys ....... Here it is, feudal fragmentation ..

      But 8-10 Onyxes will easily pull. Distributed launch system of the Kyrgyz Republic. On a group of such Comets, even a radar is not needed. The main thing is to deliver in a short time a dozen missiles on each to the launch point and, on command, launch in the right direction. But the control center and the equation will be occupied by others, up to the UAV. Is anyone there unhappy with the Straits Agreement and the Montreux Treaty?

      why do you need a new machine gun for the army? You don’t learn how to shoot on the old one? You don’t learn how to shoot on the new one. To shoot the enemy at the front, you need to fire 200 thousand shots. Resource AK 20 thousand shots. To shoot one, you need burn 10 automatic machines. So is it cheaper to burn new ones, or "old" ones?

          That's right in the photo, 90% of the fire of the rifleman is suppression or barrage fire or misses, because if you count "the number of spent cartridges \ number of enemies killed = many thousands of rounds."

    We still have not a concert, but there was talk of a transfer of the building. Yes, I heard about it at a large gathering in the conference room of our factory. Speaker Director T. Zachinyaev! (The surname itself says a lot). It is likely that according to his agreements, our plant will build a couple. Or maybe he won’t. In any case, these are very distant prospects. Since the production capacities (main and reconstructed) are occupied by defense orders-MRK 22800, all the main workers went to Pella, and who will build the Comet 2.0 is a big question.

            Unless of course you have to squeeze through a minefield or fishermen on rubber and other boats

    Hooray!!! God will give the fleet to be reborn! I come from that childhood when on the republican routes in the 90s they still walked along the Volga in comets and meteors

    Looks great, hh!
    There are proposals for printers to prepare blanks and ink for travel.
    If, with the participation of these high-speed vessels, a passenger traffic flow of 10 hours per day is organized, I think that 2-3 years will not end the passengers. And during this time, the costs will be beaten off twice.

    From Akhtubinsk to Volgograd and back (150 and 150 km) on the Meteor. Noisy and stank in the aft cabin, but in front it was very quiet and cool in the summer.

    Ah, once “Comets”, “Missiles”, “Colchids” ran around the Black Sea according to a schedule, like trams. I myself did not use it once. In the 90's, they sold everything to Greece, Turkey and much more.

    I did not like the noise and smell of tanning salons

    It was not like there was no solarium, but aviation kerosene. After the Great collapse, they were quickly written off due to the cost of fuel due to low profitability.
