Caspian Flotilla relocated to Dagestan

Caspian flotilla will be relocated from Astrakhan to Kaspiysk (Dagestan). This statement was voiced by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense.

A decision was made to transfer the Caspian Flotilla to Caspian. There we have a huge construction site: piers, moorings, service points, housing. The number of our officers and military personnel will multiply

- he said.

According to him, the translation of the flotilla is a serious component of Russia's security in the Caspian region.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that the first stage of construction of the Caspian flotilla base sites will end in 2019.

The Caspian Flotilla is one of the oldest operational units of the Navy of the Russian Federation. The main base at the moment - Astrakhan, bases and locations - Makhachkala and Kaspiysk in Dagestan, the village of Nikolskoye and Trudfront in the Astrakhan region.

Well, as if everything is logical.

Instead of one base there will be two bases, the main and auxiliary. And the Middle East is getting noticeably closer.

Base cruise missiles covering the whole of Europe and the Middle East. Sea-based KR is not prohibited by the Treaty on intermediate and shorter-range missiles.

did the Caspian grind faster? ...

Very correctly, the military component stabilizes this shaky, still from outside, region ....

Plus Russification of Dagestan!

It’s also true, because there is little hope for local cops

There was nothing to reduce the brigade of the marine corps in Caspian under Serdyukov. In the crew of ships in Makhachkala there were more than 50% local contractors. And in the MP brigade there was an installation of no more than 30% of the local ones. So Dagestan will not be very Russified. The basing conditions in Kaspiysk are very. Minus: the Caspian Sea always lathers a lot of bottom sand into the bay of Kaspiysk, because of this it is constantly deepened and the channel leading to the sea. Plus: in the Caspian region, the sea does not freeze much, if there is ice, then it is thin. And after the MP brigade, a very good military camp remained. Therefore, CFL Headquarters is located with the whole farm.

Astrakhan is more difficult in terms of access from the sea. The base in Kaspiysk, more precisely south of Kaspiysk, may actually become the main base of the flotilla

Who ever went to sea on the GB (main bank) understands that from a military point of view, the base in Astrakhan is nonsense.
About 100 km to the sea there are continuous turns and narrownesses. We have to go in a wake formation, and even a quiet move.
I'm not talking about bridges and pontoon crossings, but at the same time harm to fisheries and simply to local residents - it’s worth giving an average move and washing off first-line houses in Bakhtiyar.
In general, if necessary, for the flotilla to REALLY be ready for war, the base in Kaspiysk is unambiguous.

The giraffe can see the Big Pit. Let the Dagistan grow darker, it has recently begun to move away. And you see, under the supervision of special services there will be.

Clear. At the same time, I looked after the troubled region. Is logical. And let's add a command post with a place of basing.

Well, the base, in principle, should not keep an eye on someone. There are corresponding structures of the Russian Guard, border guards, and parts of the MP. Of course the place is chosen wisely. You can move south and not be limited to some tiny water area ...
In photo No. 1 - one of the workshops of the Dagdiesel plant, now, as they say, is not working.


In photo No. 2 - behind the fence a slip of the Dagdiesel plant. Above the fence (to the right), the rusting radar Lun is visible. And further south, the base will be in the direction of view

And then suddenly local independence will declare
