Syrian express works! BDK "Azov" entered the Mediterranean Sea

The large landing ship (BDK) of the Russian Navy "Azov", after passing the Black Sea straits, entered the Mediterranean waters, local Internet sites reported on Thursday.

According to Istanbul bloggers, the warship of the Black Sea fleet "Azov" goes to the Syrian port of Tartus, where the base of logistics of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea is located.

It is noted that this is the fourth trip of the ship to Syria this year.

In April, the BDK Minsk (5 April), Nikolai Filchenkov (13 April) and Orsk (15 and 25 April) passed through the Black Sea straits in the Mediterranean.

From the beginning of the year, BDK Azov, Alexander Otrakovsky, Minsk, Nikolay Filchenkov, Orsk and the transport ship Kyzyl-60 made journeys to Syria with goods.

According to foreign media reports, the BDK and vessels of the auxiliary fleet of the Russian Navy, as well as chartered vessels, are participating in an operation called “Syrian Express” to deliver cargo for the Russian air group at the Hmeymim airbase near Latakia, the Navy’s logistics base in Tartus and the Syrian government army , Interfax reports

And what is the old man lucky? I suspect including the small-radius air defense systems.

[BZTM]

Damn, Andrew, it doesn’t matter that he is lucky ... Important who lucky ... We finally want to ruin the BDK as a class, using them as barges and bulk carriers?

We do not have NEW BDK. We can even stomp our feet or bubble with anger and indignation and frustration, but we have what we have. Alas.

[BZTM]

So they are not intended for that, these BDKs .... For the transportation of all kinds of useful cargo-barges, container ships ........ BDK for thisBDK is not a barge ....

I had to go out on such an artillery regiment in the Barents Sea. Sea ship - not MTL with howitzer ... And, with regard to the lack of new BDKs, the government knows better what to build: the BDK or the Yeltsin Center. And in Moscow there was no housing, people in communal apartments and wooden barracks lived ... We went to Lexus, but lived in barracks ... Closed budget items, who will let them see? At first they lost all friends, buddies and allies on the social camp. Behind them, two true allies of Russia were bled. But still I can’t understand: for the country, the building of Gazprom, stuck together on the "public heritage" is more important than the bookmarks of the BDK or RTO?

but how happy the characters were in VO in 14 when they didn’t pass the Mistral to us, and now they wrinkle their foreheads about dying the last, since we don’t take civilians, it means we can’t do this, maybe they need to be escorted by the military as sanctions against Syria for arms supplies in force and they can be delayed in the Mediterranean

They despised our Navy and are not needed for nothing. And the fact that the new BDKs are not being built, the Navy is not guilty.

And that he already had metal fatigue or that he was left to rust, can wear and tear of all components and assemblies be exploited mercilessly? The ship was located at the developers it was repaired, remade and modernized and now it will begin work.

the project is more than 25 years old, ship mechanisms have become worn out by 15% over 25 years, metal below the waterline is subject to change in an aggressive environment - if you are lucky and it becomes part of the fleet, then after 1-1.5 years it will go into repair and modernization for another 3 years - and is it new? his brother can be called new with a stretch

This ship has not been operated; repair and modernization has just been carried out; it is new. There are ships of the project of 70 years and for some reason did not rot after modernization they will serve.

- it is relatively new

The surrender of "Ivan Gren" is the surrender of the lead ship of the series. What is more important (and turned out to be a difficult) event than launching just another, one of many.
So, it is not so important when the head office needs to be modernized, the main thing is that the construction of the others in the series would be given a start (they can probably be built faster than the head office needs repair).

there will be no series and it was decided 5 years ago two of them will not come out of repairs year after year

It turns out I missed everything. I admit my mistake.
Recently, there was an article at the VO about plans to replenish the Russian fleet, it talked about handing over the lead ship of the project, and, obviously, the next in the series. And then it turns out that the second ship will be the last.
It's a shame of course.

Previously, civil shipping companies were engaged in this, over the past 25 years, these shipping companies have disappeared somewhere, so the Navy has to somehow get out!

[BZTM]

I didn’t wave my fist, together with the Brigade Commander eels ........ Subordination, Bratis ....... But, despite all this-neoshnie rage...We are defensive Countries with their fishing did not interfere, if that ... We TENS once on the day of all sorts of troubles we played ...

Shipping company serving military exports and standing on the Arab line was called the Black Sea ..... who now ask? Those. who served Africa, were called Latvian and Estonian, also, as it were, without an answer! Harchenko, the head of the Baltic Shipping Company, will not say anything, he died 3 a year ago, and he is not guilty! Could tell the former Minister of the MMF Volmer, although he was also a pawn. Traces must be sought in the Politburo of the USSR, one of them taxied this at the end of the 80's!

Yes, they tried to carry by civil courts. But a civilian ship can be stopped, inspected, wrapped and even arrested. On suspicion of violation of all kinds of sanctions, etc. Turkey won even civilian aircraft landed and inspected. So we have to drive the BDK here. For who would risk risking a search?
For some reason, it seems to me that a trip to the shores of a warring ally, albeit with a transport purpose, is a good preparation of personnel.

[Serg65]

Dvinitsa-50, Kazan-60, Kyzyl-60 go the same! The truth is under Andrew
Is there a problem still to buy, charter, mobilize?
Although I do not understand that they raised such a cry ???? These BDKs under the Union for six months from the seas did not climb out and no one shed tears!

[nerd.su]

Quote: Serg65

I think the problem is in the budget. There is no reason to mobilize now, but it costs to buy money. And so the cargo goes and the personnel on the campaign.

[prapor75m]

there’s not a bad series of bulk carriers Neva -Leader it is possible to use 2-3 in the interests of the Black Sea Fleet

[wellaut]

Please tell me why Russia needs BDK in the near future?
Are we going to start a "small victorious war" on the nearest sea coast?
Yes, you have to rejoice that military the ships are finally doing real combat work instead of training trips.
And the fact that it is not for its intended purpose, well, I'm sorry ... consider this a kind of landing.

The new format of article titles on VO is annoying to say the least: the Syrian express works! Not pulled out ?, Seoul turned on the back. It does not pull at all on a serious format.

[Turgon]

It is not the BDK that needs to be driven and their motor resources dropped, but the restoration of their civilian fleet, which they so valiantly sold to Malta and Panama.

[Seaflame]

Well Sovcomflot works. On the Black Sea there is NOVOSHIP (port of registry Novorossiysk), but it has always been predominantly tanker, under the USSR there were few bulk carriers and bulk carriers, now it is not.
