Admiral Valuev: it is necessary to strengthen the Baltic Fleet

The Baltic Fleet (BF), currently virtually without submarine forces, for balanced development should be equipped with the latest non-nuclear submarines of the 677 project of the Lada class with an air-independent (anaerobic) powerplant, said former BF commander (2001-2006) Admiral Vladimir Valuyev .

In his opinion, all the fleets of the Russian Navy "should be developed simultaneously and depending on the existing potential enemy."

In the Baltic Sea, which is surrounded by nine countries, there are submarine forces in Germany, Poland, and Sweden. If we analyze the situation, then without submarines, I consider the task of carrying out BF operations in full is unrealistic.

- Admiral believes.

He noted that "in the Baltic, the development of underwater fleet organized by a residual principle, and that’s wrong. "

According to him, "now in the Baltic there is formally a division of submarines BF in Kronstadt."

In its composition is the only old regular boat. Periodically, the division was replenished with submarines of the 636.3 project, built at the St. Petersburg Admiralty Shipyards, but only for the time they were tested in the Baltic Sea. Then adopted in the combat structure of the Navy "Varshavyanka" went to points of constant basing on the Black Sea Fleet

- Admiral stated, RIA reports News.

worthy military biography

[RASKAT]

Two 22800 ships will arrive at the BF this year, the next two more. In a couple of years, two 21631 RTOs and a pair of 20380. For the Baltic puddle is enough. Do you need submarines there? There are no more depths than 100 meters.

[sharp-lad]

There are 459 meters! But mostly in shallow water, the average depth is 71 meters. Not Caspian, but also not far gone. 386 square kilometers of area for a puddle is not enough, just right for the sea! Ultra-small class submarines in the Baltic are simply necessary, otherwise the Swedes and Norwegians will have nothing to look for!

[Oden280]

Why are there submarines? The sea is shallow, it is shot through by the stationary HAC through and around the enemies. "Gauges" and Buyans normally shoot back. And no one will release our boats in the North Sea.

Map of the depths of the Baltic Sea. Judging by the experience of the Second World War, they will be "locked up" in the straits, but on the other hand, they must have 5-6, no one has canceled the supply of potential enemy troops in the Baltic.

[Oden280]

Coastal missile systems shoot through the entire Baltic. It is simpler and cheaper than building and risking boats there. So, the enemy will have to forget about the supply by sea. From boats it makes sense to restore the “Piranhas” for sabotage in the ports of the enemy and the delivery of DRG to the rear of the enemy.

Quote: Oden280

Coastal missile systems shoot through the entire Baltic. It is simpler and cheaper than building and risking boats there.

Comrade Khrushchev, in his time, also decided that we would only fight with missiles. Promising topics in shipbuilding, aviation, and artillery were “chopped off,” so you should not be so categorical.
Valuev in the article focuses on providing the Baltic Fleet with boats from VNEU, and not project 636.3. This does not prevent the restoration and production of the Piranhas.

[Oden280]

Boats with VNEU are quite large, 2650 tons underwater, and have a working depth of 250 m. How many places in the Baltic Sea have such a depth? About rockets was said just for example. For the Baltic there will be enough boats for various purposes, aviation and coastal units. The boats in this puddle have nothing to do. Only people and ships to lose.

Let's start with the fact that we do not have a V / V VEU !!!

“Type 212A” had to fit all the necessary units into the hull, taking into account the operation of submarines in the Baltic Sea. Thanks to a number of technical solutions, primarily related to the layout of external units, the new submarines are capable of diving in water areas with a depth of at least 17 m. The total length of the 212A submarines in the basic version of the project is 56,08 m, width - 7 m, normal draft - 6 m In the surface position, the displacement is 1580 tons, in the submerged - 1990 tons.

[Evgeniy667b]

Well, after all, there’s the Piranha’s legacy of up to 1000 tons of displacement, both from the Malachite and the Rubin — something that prevents them from being embodied in metal. They fit into these depths very normal.

[Kerensky]

supply of potential enemy troops in the Baltic

It was mainly carried out by skerry fairways or a neutral site.

Judging by the experience of the Second World War

[g1v2]

Judging by the experience of WWII, the Baltic Sea is a cemetery for submarines. Unless there were plans for small submarines.

[Hiller]

So the experience of the Second World War must be remembered! And draw the right conclusions, which the commander proves.

[ImPerts]

Ultra-small submarines make sense for covert operations. 3-4 diesel-electric or anaerobic, to demonstrate power in BM, yes. And why more?
My opinion is that the increase in the number of SK type 11661 with PK type "Caliber" just right.
For everything else, there is an SF.

[Oden280]

Diesel engines are not needed there. This was understood in Soviet times. And keeping boats there just for demonstration is too expensive. They there are nowhere to perform course tasks. Those boats that were built for the Black Sea Fleet final tests and training conducted on the Northern Fleet.

[ImPerts]

I do not argue.
The main thing in my thought:

Here I think there should be no objections

Well, the ultra-small, select vodka from the adversary

[Oden280]

Absolutely right. And you can also put on container ships the river-sea, which go along Ladoga and Onega, in case of exacerbation, the container version of the "Caliber"

[ImPerts]

I agree.
Because of this, the DBC was forced to cut. They were difficult to distinguish. It is possible, but difficult. It will be even harder.
I do not exclude that the increased pressure on the Russian Federation is due to the fact that things have appeared that are difficult for “partners” to track and prevent. After that, the flow of rhetoric about Russia's unpredictability sharply increased.

[mvg]

Well, what are the Finns adversaries? Almost Karelians.

[DMoroz]

All seaman divers with a holiday !!! But in fact, the submarine fleet in the Baltic how in the Second World War they’ll lock up in the Gulf of Finland, and the depth - they will enlighten and destroy ... IMHO: RTOs with Caliber probably fit ...

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

The fleet will not be sealed in the Gulf of Finland, for the simple reason that it is actually not there. In total, the Baltic Fleet of the new ships contains only the 4 corvette of the 20380 project. Two submarines on 30 more than years. At the same time, we have a Kaliningrad enclave separated from the main territory, which we must think about protecting. In the case of a land blockade, communication is possible only by sea transport and aircraft. Without a sufficiently strong Baltic Fleet, we can provoke not only land, but also sea and air blockades. But the situation with the neighbors is not getting any better.

[Genry]

Quote: Aristarkh Ludwigovich

Without a sufficiently strong Baltic fleet, we can provoke not only land, but also sea and air blockades.

They’re right ... But it was about the submarine fleet, and the Baltic is not the same for him ....

[DMoroz]

So why increase it, just for the masses? Do you need targets? Since the days of the Second World War, neither geography nor the depth of the water area has changed, only the borders of the countries are not in our favor ... Simple mine installations and tracking stations from NATO countries and to them also Trindets ... And this is just populism, especially from ex. .. After it, it seems like they still put a big “drum” on the BF? ...

The Baltic Fleet (BF), currently virtually without submarine forces, for balanced development should be equipped with the latest non-nuclear submarines of the 677 project of the Lada class with an air-independent (anaerobic) powerplant, said former BF commander (2001-2006) Admiral Vladimir Valuyev .

[dauria]

we can provoke not only land, but also sea and air blockades.

In this case, it is easier to solve the “problem” on land, if it comes to sea blockade. Yes, it will be so, otherwise Kaliningrad will end. Sorry, Balts, but you are an anthill at the tankodrome.

[DMoroz]

they are afraid of this and carry out funny (funny) exercises to counter the Suvalki corridor, here are only 5 tbsp. NATO Treaty. Although it is unlikely that someone with a large kneading will harness for them.

[mmaxx]

In, damn it, nonsense.
Back in the Baltic war they said: you won’t get away from the plane. A shallow puddle through which it is neither possible to pass nor pass. In addition to patrol boats and boats, nothing is needed there at all.

But what's the point? Again they will drive to Kronstadt and will sit like mice.)))

Someone who, but the submarines in that war in Kronstadt did not sit.
And so yes - if the land again retreat to Petrograd, then it is of course.

[Alexey RA]

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

Someone who, but the submarines in that war in Kronstadt did not sit.

In truth, since the end of 1942 it would be better to sit. For in 1943 there was practically no chance of breaking through the Nargen-Porkkalauda anti-submarine line. There, for the passage of submarines, it would be necessary to attract a couple of air divisions to clear the area from enemy aircraft and ships and boats of the anti-aircraft defense (they would have to work at the limit of the combat radius) - and still there were mines, nets and Finnish submarines.

[cobalt]

Last year I visited Kronstdt, there is a monument to the dead submariners. In the Second World War, the fleet lost 38 submarines, 26 of them died in the Gulf of Finland, and when leaving it when trying to break through the anti-submarine line, for me, this is a war crime, mediocre fleet control, the vain death of sailors for the sake of command that we are the Baltic Fleet also actively fighting. What would be the benefit of these submarines in 1944, when the fleet could operate in open waters and even the submariners would be alive.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: Alexey RA

In truth, starting at the end of 1942 we’d better have sat.

It's better. Because

Quote: Alexey RA

there were practically no chances to break through the Nargen-Porkkalauda anti-submarine line at 1943

But they still didn’t sit, but walked, and were blown up and killed, and here's someone, but to blame the Baltic submarine for sitting somewhere ...

[Igor V]

Quote: Sergey D_2

But what's the point? Again they will drive to Kronstadt and will sit like mice.)))

That is why the main base of the DCBF is Baltiysk, and not Kronstadt. In Soviet times, there was a submarine division in Baltiysk, there was enough depth, for some reason. Now sofa experts are not enough. And the admiral knows less than "experts." I myself do not particularly like Valuev. There were corruption cases under him, but there is no reason to doubt professional competence.

[Alex777]

Yes, all fleets, without exception, need to be strengthened, but alas, there are problems.

[Geonezis]

There was some kind of news that they developed new minisubs like the Soviet Piranhas. They would be strengthened.

[NEXUS]

Quote: Geonezis

There was some kind of news that they developed new minisubs like the Soviet Piranhas. They would be strengthened.

Firstly, our military industrial complex is going to build mini-submarines like Piranhas for export, as far as I have heard. Secondly, such mini submarines are good for special operations, landing saboteurs, and well, to pry vodka at the Finns (Features of national fishing k / f).

The crew of the Piranha project submarines consisted of three officers: a navigator commander, an electromechanical assistant and an electronic weapons assistant. In addition to them, an reconnaissance and sabotage group of six combat swimmers was taken on board. The exit of combat swimmers was carried out within the depths of up to 60 meters and on the ground. Being outside the boat, combat swimmers / divers had the opportunity to use the electricity supplied from it through the wires, as well as replenish the gas mixture in breathing devices.

The only addition to its functionality may be the use of mini-drones ...
Well, if you consider that ..

... and 2 mine-setting devices, in which two PMT mines were placed, or two lattices for 400-mm Latush torpedoes (a special version of the SET-72 torpedo) used by self-exit over the entire depth range.

That is, instead of two torpedoes, use reconnaissance or strike underwater drones. That's all for Piranha’s weapons ...
Wherein...

Full underwater speed reached 6,7 knots, surface - 6 knots. Cruising range under water with an economical course (4 knots) reached 260 miles, in the surface position - 1000 miles

And what impact tasks can a submarine fulfill with such speed characteristics, range and maximum immersion depth of 200 meters?

[Geonezis]

Quote: NEXUS

That's all for Piranha’s weapons ...

This is for 865 projects, that's all. What will be specific in armament for new projects is still unknown. So not everything is so simple.

Light wedge on babies did not converge. Malachite has such a range of such projects up to 1000 tons of displacement, even with VNEU, even with missile weapons. And Rubin has a smaller project of Lada (Amur1650) - Amur 950. There would be a desire to build ...

Oh friend, how glad I am to see you!
True ... but about our old conversation about the analogue of Lyra, we have already talked a lot.

Boats in the Baltic are needed.

Rudolf! Congratulations, Volchara, on your professional holiday! Health, GOOD LUCK and many years !!!
On the issue of the Baltic Sea and the availability of boats. 123 OBRPL: dual-based Kronstadt - Baltiysk will be deployed here. Total 6-7 units. The boats will most likely be of the Lada type with rocket and torpedo weapons. Everything on the shore can be very quickly suppressed by enemy aircraft ... But the boat still needs to be found. This is a time.
In the 2's, NPLs with CRBDs can calmly shoot LONDON, for example. Enough radius. Well, all of their missile defense - too. Thus, carrying out the supporting actions for applying the O-WU of our Strategic Rocket Forces to the adversary.
In-3's, in a normal war, they will be able to close the pour zone, organizing a mine-missile (similar to "mine-artillery") position. This is so that NATO DesO does not hang around our former union republics for unloading in the ports of Klaipeda, Liepaja, Riga, Ventspils, Tallinn, etc.
B-4's, it's one thing to maintain a database, knowing that you do not need PLO. And it’s completely different when the command sounds on the ship: "The ship entered the danger zone from submarines. Combat alarm! Option - PLO !!!" And it becomes so scary from such unpredictability that I want to go home, to New York, to my mother, under my skirt .. Like in my childhood ....
Therefore: Boats are needed. Rudolph is absolutely right, because he is a sailor and understands what he is talking about. Well, and so, without boats, you can dam up the whole Baltic with Arliks ​​and shoot down everything that flies ballistics in the direction of the States and their satellites on NATE.

All of you correctly say, but where can I get it from the VNEU submarine? How much do we finish, process it with a file, sand it with emery, but still it turns out Varshavyanka ... eh ...
Maybe Putin will take this project under his personal control, then a hyper-speed submarine with VNEU may appear in the near future.

[Geonezis]

Yes, this is a gain. With excellent stealth indicators on such a special TVD as Baltika, they can make much more noise than other types of boats. What is their specialization? The fact that they can not throw eight calibers for a couple of thousand miles? They do not need it. It is much more important that they will be able to inflict chiseled blows and sink any surface vessel of a potential enemy to the bottom.

The main headquarters of the Navy is in St. Petersburg, the Krylov Institute is also ... Testing grounds and test bases are here ...
But the "sentinel outposts", yes - in the North, Pacific Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet are located ... Even CFL, having acquired Buyans, has become Euro-hazardous!

It is possible to equip boats, only now will they go to the operational space in case of war? The experience of the Second World War makes one doubt.

Can it be more correct to talk about building a fleet for the tasks that it should solve? Then there will be no leapfrog forces, proceeding, of course, from the forces of the opposing side. Something like that, probably.

[Lynx33]

Well, just a seer. And you also need to strengthen the Pacific, Northern, Black Sea fleets, but how? Ships do not grow like mushrooms; they must be built over the years. With the Baltic Fleet it’s just easier - I built up bastions with Iskander along the coast and most of Europe is shot through.

[white.eagle]

Polish submarines, one under repair at the shipyard, two others will be decommissioned within three years. new purchase canceled. In fact, during the conflict, nothing will sail on the Baltic Sea because the warships of all the Baltic states will be destroyed within the first tens of minutes. Also, all ships of the Baltic Fleet. Thus, submarines in this sea will hunt other submarines or destroy gas pipelines and power cables.
