In St. Petersburg, launched the second "Varshavyanka" for Pacific Fleet

The second "Varshavyanka" for the Pacific fleet launched into the water. The ceremonial launch of the Volkhov diesel-electric submarine took place at the Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg. This was reported by the press service of the enterprise.

Present at the ceremony, the commander of the Primorsky Flotilla of the diverse forces of the Pacific Fleet, which will include the Volkhov diesel-electric missile forces, Vladimir Yakushev thanked the workers of the enterprise.

Your work strengthens the power of the Navy (...) Crews are ready for combat use and operation of these submarines

- he said.

DEPL "Volkhov" is the second submarine of the type "Varshavyanka" in the series, which is being built for the Pacific Fleet. Laid on the same day as the head of the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky diesel-electric submarine - July 28, 2017. The lead submarine for the Pacific Fleet has already been accepted into the Russian Navy after passing state tests and in early 2020 will be transferred to the place of service.

The contract for the construction of a series of six “Varshavyanka” for the Pacific Fleet was signed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the “Admiralty Shipyards” in September 2016. DEPLs belong to the third generation of diesel-electric submarines. As previously reported by the Ministry of Defense, some changes were made to the design of submarines to improve their tactical and technical data.

The length of the submarine is 73 meters, width - 10 meters, the maximum immersion depth - 300 meters, underwater speed - 20 knots, autonomy - 45 days. Crew - 52 person. The submarines are armed with six 533 mm caliber torpedo tubes, mines and Caliber rocket launchers.

Good news! Let the number of dives equal the number of dives!

[knn54]

No frets, take Varshavyanka

[gunnerminer]

Hurray! It takes as many units of this simple project as possible. Especially at KTOF, taking into account the current situation, ensuring the PLO fleet bases.

[Marconi41]

The increase in the submarine grouping in Kamchatka, of course, pleases. The protection of the Wasp's Nest is long overdue. There, one or two OVR ships were miscalculated.

The length of the submarine is 73 meters, width - 10 meters,

for trolling - "even a little, even a teaspoon is already good", and 73 m is a small spoon?
moving forward and up is difficult given.
it’s not a trifle in my pockets to rub
(and cons for a spoon)


diverted a soul.

[Cro-Magnon]

In Kamchatka there are only a couple of units. The bulk in Vladivostok.

[New Year day]

Can not but rejoice! I wonder how to get to the Pacific Fleet?

[Lord of the Sith]

As promised on time!

[Chilean Abalon]

Could name the city from the Far East. Where is the Volkhov, and where is the Pacific Fleet.

[vanavatny]

maybe so, or maybe this emphasizes the fact that the country is huge and united and there is no difference who will come to the defense from where, and the following cannot be missed: we often don’t understand how and why weapons are called, it’s not bad and not good, it’s just sometimes it’s not clear and funny (Kapustnik, Natasha, Pinocchio, Shoe, Ball, Cornflower ...) it seems that at the design stage they fix the working name

[89625588851]

Beauties! How hot cakes are stamped)))

[Warrior-80]

I found that Old Varshovyanka can float up to 12 thousand km without surfacing, it is clearly more than 10 days. New German eyeliner for Turkey with VNEU, 10 days in underwater positions, well, nafik need it

[Snake catcher]

Such news has become commonplace in Russia! Of course it's too early to shout cheers, but rearmament is increasing turnover.

Now imagine the size of the nuclear-powered ship: The volume of only one (largest) compartment is comparable to the displacement of the entire Varshavyanka.

Some time ago, the news of the launch of a new submarine was accompanied by dozens, if not hundreds of comments ... And now ?! ..Normal, routine of the military-industrial complex

the project is already "not the first freshness", is inferior to competitors, why "throw caps into the air?"

Can not but rejoice! I wonder how to get to the Pacific Fleet?

What about the Northern Sea Route? And the most powerful icebreaker fleet in the world? Why do we need the way of Admiral Rozhestvensky and the Second Far Eastern squadron?

,, Varshavyanka "certainly not great, but better than nothing ...
