The Bal coastal missile system entered service with the Caspian Flotilla

The Bal coastal missile system entered service with the Caspian coastal defense units flotilla, the transfer ceremony took place on the territory of one of the units deployed in Dagestan. This was reported by the press service of the southern military district.

DBK "Bal" is designed for coastal defense of the permanent deployment of ships, ensuring security in the waters of the Caspian Sea and land units of the Caspian flotilla

- the report says, while clarifying that this complex is the first to enter the arsenal of the Caspian flotilla.

Flotilla commander Rear Admiral Sergey Pinchuk spoke about plans to get the Bal coastal missile system in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper of the Russian Defense Ministry last December. According to him, the complex should have arrived before the end of 2019. At the same time, Rear Admiral announced that this would be the second Ball complex, received the first flotilla back in 2011, and he participated in the Kavkaz 2012 strategic command and staff exercise (SKSHU).

Note that the Bal coastal defense missile system was adopted in the 2008 year. It is included in the composition of coastal defense forces, designed to protect territorial waters, naval bases, coastal infrastructure and for anti-landing coastal defense.

One complex includes a command and control command post, as well as up to four vehicles with launchers equipped with an X-35 anti-ship missile with a range of 120 km, an X-35E missile and an X-35U missile - 260 km. Each machine has 8 missiles in special containers. In addition, the complex includes four transport and handling machines designed to form a repeated full salvo. DBK "Bal" is located on the MZKT-7930 high cross-country chassis, which allows you to occupy firing positions on the unprepared coast.

and what sound does the idiom “from the ship to the ball” acquire? :)

[garri-lin]

More precisely from the Ball to the Ship.

The Bal coastal missile system entered service with the Caspian Flotilla

An interesting point. In 2018, Russia refused to supply the Bal-E coastal missile complex (DBK) to the Azerbaijani military because of the risks that it may pose to ensure the safety of navigation of the ships of the Caspian flotilla

Russia refused to supply Bal-E coastal missile complex (DBK) to Azerbaijani military

Friendship is friendship, and "Balls" "apart

[Camille]

I did not hear about the refusal of 2008 for a long time, but then Russia itself offered it but Azerbaijan did not buy it.

[Egor53]

We have only one "ally" in that region - the United States.
And transporting these complexes to the Strait of Hormuz under the guise of ordinary trucks is not a big problem. And selling them to Iran is not a problem either.

[Stalllker]

And where are our allies in the Caspian ???

And against those allies who will become enemies, which is not clear, Mihuel.

Do you think that the "Ayatollah regime" in Iran will be replaced by a more loyal to the United States?
Or will we "shake things up" with Kazakhstan as with Belarus?

Time will tell who expected such meanness from the Ukrainians, and Luka is not childish, is that how?

And this situation has raised the same question for me.

And against which ally of the coast guard rocket

Well, there are some complaints about the distribution of the Caspian territory .. The region is rich in oil and gas, well, black caviar ..!
So that no one has a desire to appropriate this rich water resource .. Russia there also successfully launched "Caliber" on barmaley .. So it is not in vain that we strengthen the coast guard! There is something to defend there ..

As far as I know, all claims were settled and a special agreement on the Caspian was signed. And the protection of water resources lies with the border service. DBK are designed for warfare. Someone will risk attacking us?

[old friend]

Do you want to hand this weapon to Iran ???
Iran has never been an ally before and is not. Temporary situational partner, no more. Like Turkey and China. None of these countries has at least an allied agreement and signed (I understand that now the treaty is a piece of paper that you can safely wipe off, as you would, but still ...) obligations in terms of joint defense. And there is a centuries-old history full of rivalry and military confrontation. Since then, nothing has changed strategically.
s-400, su-35, su-57 (they will sell it, just ask), the devil knows something else, which now and can not be remembered ...
We are distributing (selling - not fundamentally) advanced weapons to neighboring countries, whose ambitions are, at least, regional leadership (and those of China - global, by the way). What will we do then, in the event of a change in situation?

It’s better to keep safe than to keep quiet .. Russia has repeatedly stuffed a bump on this forehead on this.
The southern direction is the most dangerous for Russia, I think ..

[1976AG]

It is necessary to correctly prioritize. Black Sea region, Far East, Baltic ... There the threat is much higher than in the Caspian

[1976AG]

1- I did not claim that these are your priorities.
2- Iran will be killed or not - is a big question. Trump pops a lot, but does little.
3-you say "in a couple of months their detachments .." to transfer the DBK is much more operational, hours, maximum day
4-are you going to use DBK against the detachments of barmaley? weird ...
5- where does China come from? in the Far East, Japan has ter. claims to the Russian Federation and is not going to refuse them.
You have made absolutely wrong conclusions from all that I said, so I don’t need to tell me what I'm reading, it’s clearly not what you listed. But you definitely have cereal in your head, even if it’s not read from the Internet and our other media

And in the three designated areas, as they say, we had with us:
11th Coastal Missile and Artillery Brigade (Utash) - 4 launchers
15th Coastal Missile and Artillery Brigade (Sevastopol) - 4 launchers
72nd Coastal Missile Brigade (Smolyaninovo) - 4 launchers
72nd Coastal Missile Brigade (Kunashir Island) - 4 launchers [
25th coastal missile brigade (p. Donskoye) - n / a PU
520th coastal missile and artillery brigade (p. Anglichanka, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky)
Data a year ago.
And these are only "Balls", which complement the "Bastions" deployed in these directions.
Thus, DBK deployed in the Caspian Sea is by no means detrimental to other fleets.

[gmb]

So geography is remembered by many

[Kleber]

CFL of Russia is the most powerful in the Caspian. Who are they going to drown on the coastal complexes there?

[BARKAS]

While in reserve, let it be for training.

[Kleber]

For training, it is better to go to the Black Sea, there is someone to study there.

[Readme]

If tomorrow one of our neighbors in the Caspian gives the go-ahead to finding the naval forces of the enemy, here the Ball will be in place.

[kepmor]

interesting, but how will the naval forces of the enemy get to the Caspian ??? ... well, except that they can teleport ...

[Kleber]

What are the naval forces of the enemy? Americans aircraft carriers chtol from the Mediterranean Sea through Tbilisi dragged?

[kepmor]

"Sumerians" will be asked ... and they have more than enough experience ... they will in a moment prophesy "New Panama" ...

[Kleber]

Fortunately their experience is only in words

[Readme]

For example, enemies will begin to produce hydrocarbons, and they will be guarded with the help of, say, an MRC (yes, any mosquito and even an inflatable vessel), but under the enemy flag. No teleport for delivery is needed. I won’t be surprised if for this they will also hire a Russian private company (a separate vessel, arms will be delivered by air). We have enough sales people. First, small vessels will be, and then larger ones will appear.
PS Geography is fine with me and history is not bad. Do not forget, our enemies are not fools at all. And they have loot. And we still have a lot of corrupt and controlled ones.

[Kleber]

And what prevents them from extracting oil through an Azerbaijani shell company (for example)? In this option, there is no need to protect anything.

[Readme]

But what about the aggravation or geopolitical goals of the enemy? In Syria, we ourselves cannot drive them out of the wells, because a million reasons to stop doing this.
Imagine if in Turkmenistan they arrange something like in Syria, and come there to fight terror. Afghan with their bases nearby.

[Kleber]

No need to complicate things. If the Americans wanted to do in Turkmenistan as in Syria, they would have done so long ago. Still in the 90s all cranked up. And since oil and gas reserves are not serious for the United States, they will not soar about this.

[Readme]

It’s NECESSARY to complicate and foresee everything, even incredible options, so that later you won’t cry with bitter tears. If you remember, the States during the Second World War traded with us, and with Hitler, and with the Japanese. They have a simple principle: the United States will live well only if the rest work for them and live poorly.

Nah, what will they not think up to "annoy" the Americans
Dear, have you somewhere and ever seen a truck that these cars would fit into?

And such wagons (so that all this fits into the wagon) in the amount of only a minimum of 12 such wagons to drive three thousand kilometers through the territory of TWO COUNTRIES - this is just a spit, how to go to the market for 3-4 quarters.
And to sell to our best friend and brother Iran complexes that we still have few - how could it be otherwise. Or maybe Iran has enough of what is ??

[master 52]

such news only pleases

[DPN]

Does it look like protection from IRAN or from the former Soviet republics?

At the same time, the rear admiral said that this would be the second Bal complex, the first flotilla received back in 2011, he participated in the Kavkaz-2012 strategic command and staff exercise (SCSHU).

As if already, and as if he had been taken to black ... confusion.

Why does Russia need the Ball Caspian Complex?

At one time, an experimental battery was first based in the Caspian Sea in Kaspiysk, then deployed into a 46th separate division, equipped with the "Bal" complex in the 11th brigade.

When they began to form the 15 coastal missile brigade in the Crimea, this division was transferred there. Subsequently, the "Ball" was again deployed in the Caspian (most likely a separate battery consisting of 2 launchers). And now, most likely, this battery is deployed into a division

Alexander! I will correct you a little. All the brigades you have mentioned are not only the Ball complexes. They are of a mixed type.
• In particular, 11 brigade brigades in the Novorossiysk area are 4 divisions. Two battalions of the "Bastion" complex, one artillery battalion equipped with the "Bereg" complex, and now a division of the "Ball" complex in the Caspian Sea.
• 15 OBRBr are three divisions. One division of the "Bastion" complex, one - the "Ball" complex and one division of the "Utes" complex
• The 72nd brigade (deployed on the basis of the 72nd separate coastal missile regiment) is indeed deployed to the Smolyaninovo village. The battery of the "Ball" complex (2 launchers) is deployed on Kunashir Island. On about. Iturup deployed a battery of the Bastion complex. Both batteries from the 72nd Brigade
• 520th OBRABR (p. Anglichanka) - in service with the "Bastion" and "Ball" complexes.

536 separate coastal missile and artillery brigades were deployed in the Northern Fleet in Snezhnogorsk (Olenya Bay)

Some brigades include artillery divisions. These are the brigades in the names of which there is a name rocket artillery
