Return shot. How formidable is Seawolf in the Barents Sea?

149

On September 3, in the "Analytics" section, an article by E. Damantsev was published “Sharp moments of sonar reconnaissance of the US Navy at the gates of the Northern Sea Route. Deployment of the Seawolf-class ultra-low-noise submarine near the Barents Sea... One cannot agree with almost all the provisions of this material.

Let us examine how the statements of E. Damantsev from his article correspond to reality.



Information about the arrival and deployment in the northeastern part of the Norwegian Sea of ​​one of the three ultra-low-noise multipurpose nuclear-powered submarine class "Seawolf" of the US Navy was met with a number of alarmist comments and discussions from numerous domestic observers, who came to the conclusion that even a single submarine of this class taking up combat duty in the above-mentioned region of the North Atlantic can call into question the preservation of both acoustic secrecy and the combat stability of the underwater component of the North fleet ... the appearance of such a secretive and technically perfect uninvited underwater visitor cannot but cause a certain amount of concern either among specialists at the headquarters of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy, or among ordinary observers who are aware of the tactical and technical parameters of this submarine.


The main thing here is a loud headline. For nuclear submarines (submarines, not cruisers) are in the Barents Sea permanently, if necessary with a build-up of forces up to 3-4 submarines of the US and British navies. This is everyday life, including with the participation of a Seawolf-class submarine (with repeated contacts of the Northern Fleet's anti-submarine forces with them). Statements about the "ultra-low noise" of Seawolf are also commonplace, because the requirements for the levels of underwater noise of the series of modern US Navy Virginia-class submarines are similar to Seawolf.

About submarines


It is unnecessary to comment on all the unsubstantiated technical statements of Mr. Damantsev, but it is necessary to dwell on some of them.

Having ... multi-tiered depreciation platforms on the attachment points of such elements of power plants as main turbo-gear units (GTZA), steam generating units (PPU), steam turbine plants (STU) and S6W nuclear reactors, submarines of the Seawolf class ...

I would very much like to see how Mr. Damantsev technically envisions a "nuclear reactor on a multi-tiered platform" (apparently with a biological protection tank), but this, as they say, is for "Crocodil". In reality, the race to "build up cascades" of depreciation in our country led to serious mistakes and problems in reducing the noise of submarines (due to the manifestation of off-design resonances that "pierced" the entire cascade of depreciation). One of the leading experts on the subject, Pakhomin V.N., wrote a lot about the fallacy of such a technique in relation to our third generation nuclear-powered ships.

And there was no such mistake in the US Navy, accordingly, "multi-tiered depreciation platforms" on US Navy submarines are nothing more than a "canard" of incompetent domestic authors.

Two-stage depreciation - yes, and this was introduced back in the EthanAllen SSBN in 1959. But nothing more.

E. Damantsev:

Based on the technical information provided by the retired rear admiral ... Vladimir Yamkov in the analytical material "The struggle of people, not ideas", it is easy to come to the conclusion that such objects can be tracked by means of nasal spherical multi-element GAS MGK-600 "Irtysh- Amphora-Ash / Borey "(included in the hydroacoustic architecture of MAPL pr. 855 Yasen / -M" and SSBN pr. 955A / B "Borey / -B") at a distance of about 35-45 km (in the first and / or second long-range zones of acoustic illumination / convergence) in normal hydrological conditions, while the earlier MGK-540 "Skat-3" multipurpose nuclear submarines pr. 971U "Schuka-B" with less sensitive hydrophones and on-board computers with simplified algorithms for processing acoustic information are capable of " probe "Seawolf" at a distance of 25-35 km.

Any submariner of the category of hydroacoustics, officer of the watch, navigator or just someone from the calculation of the main command post will say that the figures declared by Mr. Damantsev are absolutely unreliable. The author, having experience of real hydroacoustic contacts with US Navy submarines of the LA-Improoved type (and at very significant distances), can with good reason to assert that the real MGK-540 figures for the LA-Improoved type are significantly less than stated, and the real ranges for Seawolf will be make up values ​​more than an order of magnitude smaller than those indicated by E. Damantsev - up to extremely small distances.

Moreover, the network contains the memories of the commander of a naval ship who had contact in the Norwegian Sea with the second serial Seawolf-class submarine, SSN-22 Connecticut. In short: the contact was very short-lived, Connecticut left very quickly. The means of maintaining contact, SJSC "Centaur", had a flexible towed antenna (GPBA), a device 1P from the "submarine" SJSC MGK-540 "Skat-3", but with more modern signal processing. Taking into account the fact that the developer of the "Centaur" was the Kiev Research Institute of Hydropribors, all this has not been a secret for a long time. This is reality.

If you look at the article of Rear Admiral Yamkov V. Ya. "The struggle of people, not ideas", which "refers to" E. Damantsev, then it is surprising to find that Yamkov simply does not have the “conclusions” declared by Damantsev. There are completely different circumstances, figures, the analysis of which is advisable in a separate publication (according to stories prefix "Ritsa").

E. Damantsev:

The integrated nasal active-passive AN / BQQ-10 SJCs installed on the Sea Wulfs based on ... and wide-aperture airborne passive SASs based on ... their AN / BSY-2 systems are capable of detecting low-noise MAPLs pr. 855 / M (do not have water jet propellers and have a large underwater displacement, increasing the acoustic signature) at a distance of about 60-80 km, the Borei - about 60 km and, finally, the more noisy Shchuk-B - 100-130 km. The figures are disappointing ... Meanwhile, there is no need to dramatize.

But where are these numbers from? How is the author E. Damantsev “ready and able” to substantiate them?

Apparently nothing. I just want to (wanted to). Unfortunately, it must be admitted that not only E. Damantsev, but also a number of other authors (including “graduated”, with positions and shoulder straps) are beginning to invent numbers and coefficients, to put it mildly, have nothing to do with reality.

E. Damantsev's opinion that an increase in displacement is equal to an increase in noise has nothing to do with reality.

Next:

Despite the rather high technological parameters of the sonar complexes of the Seawolf and VirginiaBlock I / II / III multipurpose nuclear submarines operating in the waters of the Norwegian Sea, the hydrological situation in this region of the North Atlantic does not always favor the successful implementation of informative sonar reconnaissance.

Once again about geography. The Norwegian Sea belongs to the Arctic Ocean (and not the Atlantic, as Mr. Damantsev believes) and there is just a rather favorable hydrology - a consequence of the depths and the presence of a deep underwater sound channel. In the Barents Sea, yes, the hydrology is much worse. But there is a very unpleasant nuance for the Russian Navy, associated with our almost complete ignorance of the issues of operational oceanography.


Normal and sane approach to operational oceanography (implemented by the US Navy)

Taking into account environmental factors (conditions of sound propagation) in the horizontal plane sharply increases the capabilities of the forces both to search for submarines and to ensure their secrecy, but an effective system requires a comprehensive consideration of the issues of sensors, environmental models and consumers. The problem is that all our work is absolutely divorced from consumer issues (practical application of results).

Accordingly, some work is underway, but there is exactly zero sense from them for the Navy. Unlike the US Navy, where operational oceanography is one of the pillars of effective anti-submarine warfare.

Here is the factor that the US Navy's submarines do not act on their own, but as an element of a deployed anti-submarine warfare system in a theater of operations (which dramatically increases their effectiveness). For example, they use an external low-frequency sonar "illumination", which allows them to confidently detect enemy submarines even with minimal noise.


Change in "visibility" of submarines of the Soviet and Russian Navy during passive search and in conditions of low-frequency "illumination"

Taking into account the geographical factor, our submariners have very serious problems. And the prospects for their solution are not particularly visible.

Return shot. How formidable is Seawolf in the Barents Sea?

"Narrow fronts" of the Northern Fleet's NSNF deployment

Anti-submarine aircraft


E. Damantsev writes:

The presence of anti-submarine aviation The Russian Navy and the difficult hydrological situation will not play in favor of the ambitions of the underwater component of the US Navy in the Norwegian Sea ... there can be no question of the exceptional acoustic secrecy of the underwater component of the US Navy in this region of the North Atlantic and in the light of permanent patrolling of neutral waters of the Norwegian and Barents Seas, promising IL-38N anti-submarine aircraft of the naval aviation of the Russian Navy, equipped with the unique Novella-P-38 airborne search and sighting systems, capable of receiving information about the tactical underwater situation from 64 active and passive radio acoustic buoys of the types РГБ-41, РГБ-48, closely spaced in the most unpredictable exploration areas of the above seas.

First you need to decide on the geography again. At least school. In which the "patrolling" by Il-38 (N) aircraft of the "North Atlantic" is beyond the technical capabilities of the aircraft, the absence of a refueling system and the location of our air bases.


Even the modernized Il-38N has limited capabilities in terms of performance characteristics of the Novella search and sighting system, and its range will not allow it to be used too far from our shores

Norwegian Sea? But it refers to the Arctic Ocean, and our anti-submarine aviation operations there can be carried out exclusively with the permission of NATO, and even in everyday conditions. At the same time, there is no need for “so-called partners” to “shoot down planes”, since the task is solved (and has been repeatedly solved by them) using electronic warfare (suppression of the “buoys-aircraft” radio link, which has extremely low noise immunity).

However, even this is not the main thing. We are watching an advertising video of the head organization in the Russian Federation for the development of search and targeting anti-submarine aviation complexes, JSC "Radar-MMS", with an advertisement for its system "Killer Whale".



The drop interval of the RSL-16M buoys (analogue of the RSL-41) gives their detection range at the level of ... several hundred meters! Further - again into geography, we look at the size of the search area.

For the cost of our RSAB and the total contracts for them, those who wish can turn to the public procurement website, while it is better for the impressionable not to remove validol far.

The "active" RSL-48 buoys mentioned by E. Damantsev are in fact passive directional RGAB (with a folding hydrophone antenna), and the active ones are RSL-58. However, it will not be possible to find references to either the RSL-48 or the RSL-58 on the public procurement website (unlike the RSL-16 "Dalzavod"), which leads to obvious conclusions ...

I would like to ask E. Damantsev: maybe, before writing "analytical articles", it is worth at least minimally studying the issue? It's bad when the authors of semi-literate articles try to mislead the public with their tales on really acute and important issues of the country's defense capability!

In reality, the situation in the Arctic is not at all in our favor, and instead of real combat training, we often conduct imitation of violent activities there. For example, it is known what problems the Russian Navy has with a torpedo weapons... Our boats are virtually unable to fight under the ice. See material "Arctic torpedo scandal"... Until now (09.09.2020), the Russian Navy (and the USSR) has not been able to conduct a single under-ice torpedo firing with torpedo homing systems turned on.

And this is far from our only grave problem. In such conditions, shapkozakidatelskie articles are actions on the verge of betrayal.

    And about Damantsev, his articles, of course, do not possess completeness and objectivity, and there are a lot of false theses and information in them.
    He raises questions in articles that are sometimes very interesting, but if you want to get information, you need to rummage around yourself, and not rely on Damantsev.
    Well, or count on the fact that someone's nerves will not stand reading Damantsev and he will write the article himself. Like now

              Where did you get this nonsense?

              The maximum immersion depth of a submarine H, according to the criterion of its safety from landing on the ground, is calculated from the minimum sea depth Hc on a given section of the route. In this case, the following values ​​are taken into account: the distance of the depth gauge from the keel of the submarine (DТк), the required depth under the keel, ensuring the controllability of the submarine (DНз), the maximum error of the depth shown on the map (Dg), the maximum error of keeping the submarine at a given immersion depth (Du):

              H £ Hk - (DTk + DH3.5.2 + Dg + Dy). (XNUMX)

              It is clear that the maximum immersion depth cannot be greater than that indicated in the Manuals, or that which corresponds to the permissible immersion of the submarine in terms of its technical capabilities.

              In some cases, the maximum immersion depth of a submarine is set by the command based on tactical considerations. This is done, for example, when several submarines can operate in a given area, each of which is assigned its own depth level. But in all these cases, before diving to a given depth, it is necessary to make sure that it is safe according to the navigation criterion, that is, the given diving depth must always be less than or equal to the permissible under sailing conditions.

              Example.

              The sea depth shown on the map is Нк = 160 m. The distance of the depth gauge receiving device from the keel of the submarine is DТк = 2 m, the submarine is freely controlled under water with a depth reserve of DНз = 30 m, the maximum error of the depth shown on the map, Dg = 4 m , the maximum error of keeping the submarine at a given immersion depth Dу = 10 m.

              Determine the acceptable submersion depth of the submarine.

              Solution: by formula (3.5.2) we obtain: H = 114 m.

              In seas where the bottom topography is studied with a low degree of detail (this can be detected by the density of the depths on a large-scale map), when calculating the permissible diving depth, a certain safety margin of the depth under the keel should be taken into account.


              In fact, there are ready-made ratios for depth and speed permissible at this depth. Boats often operate in conditions where the depth is less than the length of the hull.
              These are difficult conditions, but there is nothing special about them.

              In addition, as the boat goes deeper, it loses its acoustic secrecy due to the compression of the hull by pressure and the subsequent loss of the effectiveness of the acoustic systems. protection.
              On the 971 project at a depth of 350 m, the effectiveness of such systems and means is completely lost. In this case, the environment around becomes more homogeneous, layers of water with different temperatures and densities remain higher, the range of propagation of sound waves from the boat grows, etc.

              Americans, for example, operate calmly in shallow waters.

                  Excuse me, but who are you to "explain" this? You were a watch officer on a submarine, and successfully coped with your duties? Maybe you are a boatswain? Were you at the helmsman? No? Goodbye then with explanations, as long as you only demonstrate age-related decline in cognitive abilities, burdened by a level of self-confidence inversely proportional to your intellectual competence.

                  I will note that in the real world, the Americans do not hesitate to climb to depths of up to 80 meters, they also climb to smaller ones, but with caution from the British I know an episode of the passage of about 60 meters in a combat situation on a submarine.

                  I will also remind you that Kursk died at a depth of 108 meters, which is less than its length. And there were no prohibitions on the presence of the submarine there, there was just a speed limit.

                        The solution was obvious. However, we
                        had to solve an additional problem - the problem of the Bourdwood Bank. It is a large, fairly shallow ocean area that comes close to the edge of the South American continental shelf.
                        It stretches for more than two hundred miles from east to west, passing one hundred miles south of East Falkland, where it is about sixty miles wide from north to south. Further south, the Atlantic is more than two miles deep, but around the Falkland
                        islands and off the coast of the continent, the seabed rises to the continental shelf to a depth of about three hundred feet... On the bank, the ocean depth is about one hundred fifty feet... This shallow water is accurately mapped, but it can be deadly for a submerged submarine, which seeks to keep up with a cruiser cruising in shallow water at more than twenty-five knots. A submarine must go at a minimum depth of
                        two hundred feetto avoid a clear “moving fish” track coming out to the surface. At a depth of one hundred feet, where they had to cross the shallow waters, they would leave a clear mark behind them.

                      All deep-sea programs have been closed for a long time both in our country and in the AMs.
                      Now there is a growing need to learn to work at depth again due to the non-acoustic detection means of the UAV, from which there is no escape.
                      the Americans take a fork - either you hide between different layers of the jump, at shallow depths and you will be pulled by the BPA, or you go to the depths and lose acoustic stealth.

                        I always believed that the high cost of serial deep-sea submarines was abandoned. The cases and fittings were prohibitively expensive. And the initial striving for great depth was precisely due to non-acoustic means. Is this the second round?

    And there was no such mistake in the US Navy, accordingly, "multi-tiered depreciation platforms" on US Navy submarines are nothing more than a "canard" of incompetent domestic authors.
    Quite right. Combined vibration isolation has long been used on submarines of the US Navy and not only the US, but even on Australian submarines, combining a combination of passive and active vibration damping methods.
    Active vibration isolation systems include acceleration sensors that register vibrations in six degrees of freedom and microprocessor-controlled compensating displacement actuators.
    Linear electric motors, pneumatics, and a piezoelectric motor can be used as a drive for actuators. The last option is used most often.

    Environment models are created quite adequate, therefore, consumers can use them.

      12 September 2020 14: 45
      From Maxim:

      What about their VERIFICATION? Good question, huh? I'm talking about OBJECTIVE verification.
      Where should the SJSC “stick” these models? - and it is desirable so that later there would be no "serious problems" with "acc. department ".
      See my diagram, ALL of our work on this topic (including the "well-known topic" "from Volozhinsky") INTENTIONALLY ignore "P", resp. there is no "feedback" - what does "P" need from "D" and "M" for effective use.
      Specifically, on the "Volozhinsky theme" my proposal was not to suffer garbage, but to use the RSAB (including taking into account the fact that the topic was not closed (!)) On long routes and a "morphism" simulator for the "Minotaur", that is ... be able to ACTUALLY demonstrate the growth of Dobn when used in processing real (including "operatively refined") environmental models. The decision maker was "not interested in this" (despite the fact that on the "D" and "M" loot sawed regularly). In this case, the results obtained and worked out at the RSAB were quite simple to "start" in the SJSC. I had personal experience on a related topic, in 2006, with proposals to test the "backlit" modes of operation on MGK-400M-03 "Nerpa", and it was not "graphomania", it was very well received, the "morphists" were ready themselves, on the spot to finalize the algorithms, I specially went to the Academy of Sciences on the use of their LFR for this in the Sea of ​​Japan. It did not take place because of the categorical rejection of this by the management of the NEA, to the extent that it came to "night wishes for health and life" from the deputy of Adamen. The run over from the organized criminal group, which then supervised the ASZ, was powerful (how Suchkov yelled at me that I “got into this abscess” is a separate story), and eventually “covered” me from this Deputy Director of FSpoVTS Fomin (or maybe Suchkov helped , I did not clarify this with him).
      In the work on the "sea modernization" of the Su-34, OO issues were discussed especially, since their perspective and extreme necessity was understood and was one of the "chips" of the project. But there the idea was to use a UNIFIED OO data registration system - at the coastal command post, aircraft PPS and ITSD (information terminals for joint actions) at the BNK and the submarine (!). One of the tasks of the ITSD is to ensure the "docking" with the GAS and GAK ships, incl. at the "signal level" to work as a "single system". If you “go through the State Joint Stock Company”, then this is not just long years of work and huge material costs, the main thing is that serious problems immediately arise with the correct formalization of the task (TTZ, and this includes money under the contract and “assistants” (in quotes) of the type prosecutor's office). But to “register” the “joint” between ITSD and GAK is already much easier and realistic (in fact, it is a data exchange protocol). I emphasize that the Navy was very interested in this, but the project was “slowed down” (specifically, Turchak was “average”, and the GK plane Martirosov ...).
      In fact, today we have - "there is", but how to use (and how effectively) - HZ. A separate issue is the quality of the models, especially in terms of their "operational refinement". The lag behind us in this matter from the West is enormous, both in terms of "water sensors" and satellite altimeters.
      What is actually used, and for a long time, effectively, incl. in processing - VRSZ data. For the effective use of "Skat-3" this is very important (since it was directly brought into processing), therefore, as a lieutenant, experienced chiefs taught me to correctly (in no case on a dive) shoot VRSZ, not use CIUS for calculations (there these tasks are basically wrong), etc.

          Diesel-electric submarines in 2 hours at 0,5-0,7 maximum speed drops the battery. What can she do against atomic? Just look for somewhere. But the submarine may not go there and can, thanks to the low-frequency illumination from an external source, detect the diesel-electric submarine from a distance, for example, three to four times larger than its diesel-electric submarine.
          And?
          Dieselies are a niche tool + solution for the poor.

    Maxim naturally asks: "How formidable is Seawolf in the Barents Sea?" But he does not give an answer. Fell down in criticism of our wretched PLC and "Damantsev's blunders". Yes, we also have many problems with the surveillance system, search, torpedo armament, PTZ, etc. But the question has been raised (in fact), what to do with the Wolf? Is there really no one to drive him out of the sheepfold? Something constructive is not visible in the article. And this leads to gloomy thoughts and disbelief in the bright future of the fleet ...
    Therefore, let me say a few words about.
    1. Seawulf is a technically complex, rather perfect, but not perfect device. It still has an effect. Yes, the unmasking fields are small, but they are there. And the main one is the presence of an ELF field, on which our digital SACs with an electronic library of signatures (Irtysh-Amphora-Ajax) can operate. I'm talking about Delta-type consoles that use VLF illumination of an underwater target. Those. it is quite possible to find the Wolf.
    2. Albeit with difficulty, but in the North, a system of underwater observation and monitoring of the aquatic environment is still being deployed. The bases and the pouring zones will be covered by it for sure. And this increases the chances of the PLS when searching on a call and intercepting the enemy's PLA.
    3. Spacecraft for monitoring the earth's surface are being developed. Thus, a blue-green laser can locate underwater objects to depths of 50-100m. I'm not sure that Volchara will always walk below this horizon. And then recently a message flashed that our satellite "monitoring the earth's surface" was suddenly transferred from the Indian Ocean "to observe the weather" in the Atlantic ... after Seawulf arrived there ...
    4. Communication is the basis for command and control of forces at sea. And the Wolf is no exception. He definitely has an SDS. Albeit in a non-receipt way, albeit through AES-repeaters, but he needs to get in touch with the manager of the command post ... Is there really no way to copy where the SDU spat from?
    5. For all its perfection, the Wolf is only a THREE-CUT-OUT PLA, with a buoyancy margin of 15-18%. And if the "hole" is formed? Back pressure, float up to 30-40 m, and if there is a fire, the ASBU will short out or something else? That is, he is as vulnerable as everyone else ... But the Yankees do not seem to believe in this, tk. a message flashed through that, because of their wonderful secrecy, they even refused the SRS ...
    And in conclusion.
    Alexander Timokhin / Maxim Klimov wrote a lot and correctly, but it's not entirely clear to me, for example, why is the project's 677D weapon complex better than the Malachite 855?
    Maybe treason and betrayal elsewhere, and not in the articles of Zhenya Damantsev?

      Thanks to the editors of VO - they hurried in advance and posted the article on the website.
      I will cite an excerpt from it, confirming my post yesterday that Volchara is not omnipotent:
      In the late 1990s - early 2000s, the Russian Navy took out to sea hydrographic vessel GS-31 of the Northern Fleet with experimental GPBA. Unlike the "NATO" systems, this station did not have an external illumination, which significantly increased the detection range - just a passive antenna. But she also gave a phenomenal effect - the ship, being in the middle of the Barents Sea, found British and Norwegian submarines for many hundreds of kilometers. It was then that the Seawulf-class Connecticut submarine was on a reconnaissance campaign against the Russian Federation. And if it is usually very difficult to detect it, then here the little hydrographer calmly tracked it as long as it was necessary, having met it at the edge of Russian territorial waters. The "hydroacoustic portrait" of the boat was recorded, which is a major achievement for our fleet.

      I knew about it, but I thought that this infa was closed (at the end of 2010), but it turns out that you can already tell ... HOWEVER!

            Since 2008, the coils have a serial letter, and zero sense. 12 years old. Soon 13. It's not just that. And also on the verge of a series, a normal low-frequency helicopter GAS "ran aground", as well as anti-mine systems, which we did quite well in the 2000s and 2010s, but which were slammed by some hairy handles - in everything like this.
            We can restore the naval missile carrier for a penny, simply by purchasing the same pieces of iron on the Su-30SM in Omshaps that we sold to the Indians. And we don't do either.
            We kind of can actually do everything. But we don't do anything.
            And there is reason to believe that we will not do it until the next slap in the face of Tsushima - no one is interested.

I'll repeat it again. the departure of the submarine under the thermocline is secrecy and difficult detection by anti-submarine forces, onboard GAS, even modern ones, are mainly reflected from this phenomenon, and those that break through it give brutal distortions. anti-submarine exits only or an extended cable antenna with hydrophones one and a half -2 km, but only a couple of nodes can go with it, or a submersible antenna. but in this case, you can forget about the move, and the heat trace from the AU is quickly diluted ... well, something like that in short

    There is no need to panic here, but measures should be taken even yesterday. Sea Wolf is, in fact, 3 nuclear submarines, very expensive, so much so that even the United States did not pull their construction. In fact, each Sea.Vulf type submarine was built according to an individual project (the scope of upgrades for each of the 3 built ships is very significant), the last, third submarine of this type is especially different from the head one. Virginia, this is a budget copy of C. Wolf and not very successful, including in terms of noise .... The problem is not even C. Wolf, although this is a very dangerous enemy, the problem is that the Russian Baltic Fleet has only one submarine submarine left and that still Soviet construction and its technical condition leaves much to be desired. Anti-submarine aircraft in Russia are also in trouble, the Soviet Il-18 on the basis of which the Il-38 was created has not been produced for a long time and there is still no replacement for them, and every loss of such an aircraft is irreplaceable today. The Baltic fleet urgently needs to be strengthened, either by the transfer of several nuclear submarines from other directions, or by the construction of at least a series of Varshavyank missiles for the Baltic. With one, operating with grief in half, today the old submarine submarine Baltflot remained one-armed, and the problem of the absence of modern anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters in the fleets of the Russian Federation must also be solved. The solution to this problem could be the return to serial production of the Mi-14 anti-submarine helicopters, of course on a new element base, and the creation of a new anti-submarine aircraft based on the Tu-204 and Be-200.

      What for? What is their advantage as a carrier of PLO systems over the Ka-27 or Mi-8? The ability to land on water? And how often was it used? And what are the chances of a successful takeoff from the water in real weather conditions - without burying the nose, hitting the water with the blades and further losing the helicopter?

      The Be-200 is, yes, an excellent platform. Not only are the engines Ukrainian, so also the pace of production at Taganrog is such that the Ministry of Emergency Situations was waiting for its cars for almost five years after the end of the contract (the last Be-200 was commissioned in 2019 instead of the contract in 2014), and the Ministry of Defense had its own the contract was severed through the courts.

        Be-200 and Mi-14 amphibians. I know about the problems with the production of the Be-200, which is also why I mentioned the Tu-204, there are no problems with its production, and on its basis an anti-submarine could be obtained, no worse than the American Poseidon. In bad weather, aviation is generally not very capable, but the ability to stay afloat for marine equipment will not be superfluous, including during an emergency landing, and the production of the Mi-14 is not a problem. As for Ukrainian engines, it is quite possible to establish their production in the Russian Federation, if necessary, there would be a desire in the Kremlin to actually do something, and not chat in vain. In any case, today the basis of the anti-submarine aviation of the Russian Federation is the Il-38, based on the ancient Il-18 and the production of these aircraft is absent, and this is very, very bad. Each loss of such a machine is irreplaceable, and the fleet of these aircraft is already very old and requires an early update, otherwise the Russian fleet risks being left with a bare bottom.

          In bad weather, the amphibiousness will no longer play a role - both the amphibian and the usual aircraft / helicopter will keep afloat equally badly. In general, an aircraft must remain on the surface for a sufficient time. so that the crew can leave it.

          Rather 688 (I) - according to the tail number of the head "moose".
          I remember these Sims - the "Warsaw women" in them were unrealistically annoyed by the fact that they were found only after a torpedo salvo. And the most shock was the "Shark" that suddenly appeared on a quarter of the monitor (it hung without a move - and in the passive mode the GUS did not see it). laughing

            Exactly - 688i There he died faster than the Warsaw women met) From the same series of dangerous waters or fleet command were - there you could walk on Oliver Perry. I liked the simulation much more on it.

              Certainly not an expert in the field of hydroacoustics. But I suppose, by analogy with videoconferencing - that the signature and characteristic noises of the "Warsaw women" should be known to opponents. Are they as secretive as claimed? I believe that the opening of TA will certainly be recorded and heard.

                The enemy knows the portraits of the boats, but you can change it, fill in the TA in advance and then the enemy will only hear a shot. The most interesting thing will begin later - they have superiority in countermeasures, speed and weapons.

                  Thanks for the answer! To be honest, I can hardly imagine - the fight against torpedoes of the mk-52 or mk-54 class. The videoconferencing has long known that resistance to missiles with args such as aim-120-c5 or aim120-c7 is practically useless. Countermeasures are an order of magnitude inferior to "smart" active homing attacks. the target selection head already has the signature of the target aircraft, which does not respond to extraneous interference. It's probably the same with torpedoes. It's hard to imagine a missile mk-52 from countermeasures

                    They now have a trend in the West - an increase in the spectrum in which the torpedo CLO works towards low frequencies. That is, in order for the wave from the GPE to divert such a torpedo onto itself, the GPE must give the same wave as the hull of the boat, which is unrealizable.

                    Therefore, with a high degree of probability, it is technically impossible to create an AGPD capable of deflecting such torpedoes.

                    Therefore, we need anti-torpedoes.

                    This is how the situation looks from our side. The situation from their side looks like this - the Russians do not have torpedoes, but firewood, they are easy not only to be taken to the GPD, but also to be fired at a secondary search, in which their torpedo will target them.

                    And there were such cases.

    But they learned how to make cool cartoons, promoting frankly shitty weapons. For example, the hyped petrel not only claimed 5 lives, but also polluted the sea and a large territory near Severodvinsk with radiation. The promoted armata stalled and quietly lowered on the brakes. The promoted Carapace in Syria turned out to be not a miracle weapon at all. But the people to whom they hang noodles think that everything is bad all around, but he has a powerful army and a fleet that can easily cope not only with the US fleet, but with all of NATO. There are at least a dime a dozen such idiots among the townsfolk now, and they are not to blame for this. PR and shapkozakidatelstvo weapons and the state of the army and navy in our country in the rank of state policy. This especially blossomed under Shoigu, who, in general, is a PR master and in many ways built his career on this. Where are the bravura videos about the Emergencies Ministry now? They are not there, or rather, they were replaced by bravura videos about the army, who lie about its state as well as those who lied to us about the state of the Ministry of Emergencies, even despite the catastrophe with fires in 2010, the flood in Krymsk, the fire in the "Lame Horse in Perm" and not only when the Ministry of Emergency Situations showed themselves in full "glory". The authorities have nothing to boast about, there are no achievements, people see everything, all that remains is that the victory of their ancestors, but what a mighty army we now have to lie, because this topic is not in plain sight. ...

      These are all pre-production weapons. Why is an armature regiment or a su-35s needed in Kaliningrad? The front-line MiG-29, Su-25 and T-72 will cope there. Shoigu has never been a PR specialist. He's just doing business, unlike those mentioned above. The problem is now real in the defense industry lobbyists. Who row with a broom and are not responsible for the result.

        Shoigu is not just a PR man, but a PR master like no one else. He has a whole army of zhurnalyug fed, which he took with him from the Ministry of Emergencies to the Ministry of Defense. The fact that he is a great leader is the same myth as Putin raised Russia from its knees. It’s elementary, it’s impossible to manage what you didn’t study and what you don’t understand effectively. But it is possible to create a myth of effective leadership. You are simply not in the subject, because this issue of his PR has never been interested.

    I respect Maxim Klimov and Timokhin. Honestly, I never thought that everything is so bad with PLO with us until I read 3 articles on this topic in Maxim's blog (by the way, it is very interesting there about torpedo armament and about "physics" - I advise who did not read it). Without a doubt - these are experts who know what they are talking about - "they don't pour water." The question is, is it all that bad? Of course, silt 38n is a modification of "what it was". But, let's face it, in this clearing, we never had anything efficient. 142mr let's not take into account - this is gerontophilia. We need a fundamentally new aircraft here - perhaps based on the Tu-204. But what will we equip ??? Somehow I already opposed Maxim after an interview on the "boy in mask" channel about carrier-based aircraft and the fate of the Su-33. Here the situation seems to be similar. In order to do it, you need to have a future concept and, preferably, with a head start on modernization. What should be the PLO aircraft, taking into account the basis that we have?

    Diesel-electric submarines in 2 hours at 0,5-0,7 maximum speed drops the battery. What can she do against atomic? Just look for somewhere. But the submarine may not go there and can, thanks to the low-frequency illumination from an external source, detect the diesel-electric submarine from a distance, for example, three to four times larger than its diesel-electric submarine.

    1. I thought that the submarine should go for hours at a slow pace and watch for someone, and not go for hours at 0,7 maximum speed.
    2. PLA can always not go there if not necessary. But if it is necessary then what to do?
    3. LF illumination from an external source is very good, but why should only one boat detect the other? The source / s of the illumination itself will be detected from a very long distance and there will always be opposition (active and passive).

    I fully agree with the author's conclusion: "... the situation in the Arctic is developing
    not at all in our favor, and instead of real combat training we often
    we carry on there imitation of violent activity. "

    Do you think you need to invest in everything that is said? the Americans began to invest in full to resist the SevmorPuti. Can you predict the temperature in the Arctic in 3-5 years? And this happens everywhere and in everything. Sworn "partners" are in the position of catching up. Investing and straining on cartoons. Do you think these partners are enough for many?

    Not an expert in this matter, but one gets the impression that what both gentlemen are writing about is slowly disappearing into the past. the accents have moved towards hyper sound. Maybe that's why it's not worth spending money. A ballistic missile launched from the Norwegian Sea by the Amenicans will be intercepted with a high degree of probability, and in response they will launch a hypersonic missile from somewhere from New Earth. Will fly faster
