    hi In addition to crane weapons (as the supplier should), and an arsenal of fire fighting equipment, there is a multifunctional working boat with an inflatable sideboard BL-820, 400 meters of booms, and a production boat. There is a helipad on the vessel’s tank, which can receive Ka-32 or Ka-27 helicopters.
    In addition, some military media report that, in the case of mobilization of auxiliary vessels, between the helipad and the icebreaker superstructure, an AK-230, AK-630 or AK-306 gun mount can be installed.

      This "SUV", as you say, pricks ice up to a meter. And this is enough for its tasks. Moreover, its displacement is only 6000 tons. For comparison, the Polar icebreaker is old, with a displacement of 12000 tons, and it pierces ice up to 2 meters. Moreover, our Ilya is not nuclear, unlike the mattress.
      Polar is old from 2007 to 2012, it was not operated, and we have about 40 icebreakers of various classes, and they are very well-operated.

        Polar Star is not an atomic icebreaker. The Americans do not have an atomic icebreaker fleet.

    It is a little disappointing that civilian vessels, even if they can be used to support the fleet, are built and launched much faster than warships ...
