Congratulations to the Pacific Fleet on its new comrade.

Mines ... both sea and land - probably the most "petty" weapon invention
Seven Feet under the Keel to the Minesweeper! Commander and Crew - Good luck!

As it hurts the ear - a mine defense ship and a light machine gun gunner. No? Maybe he was behind the times or served for a long time.

So maybe you just need to read carefully? Hero of the Soviet Union (1945, posthumously), Pacific Fleet Marine Corps.

Indeed, it does not sound right - nudge a light machine gun
Then there should be a loader of a light machine gun, a commander of a light machine gun, and so on, a full crew

Read at your leisure the book of Marshal of the USSR Rodion Malinovsky - "Soldiers of Russia".
It thoroughly describes how many servants, and the number of carts was included in the calculation of one heavy machine gun of the H. Maxim system ...
By "announcement" I will inform you that at the very beginning of WWI, the crew had a machine gun commander (chief), and a machine gunner ...

[Lord]

That conversation is about a light machine gun Maksimka would not ask

Well, "First issue", the commander of the crew-gunner of the DP-27 machine gun, "Degtyar", what is not an example for you to remove all inappropriate semantic claims?

Watch the movie "Two Soldiers" ...

I totally agree with you! Indeed, what kind of miracle is this, miracle marvelous " hand gunner? The most interesting, a This is not the first time I read! It looks like someone once wrote nonsense, and then they rewrite everything without thinking.

And the ship is seven feet under the keel, long and successful service! To the commander and crew - good health and, as they say, excellent successes in combat and political training, success and happiness in your personal life!

I apologize to everyone for writing nonsense myself! Taki decided to find out the question and found out: the calculation of the MANUAL machine gun of the Red Army consisted of two man! The gunner carried a machine gun and a repair kit, the second number was spare disks and his own weapon (first - a rifle, then - a machine gun).

On the one hand, it is a real "miracle of technology". Largest composite body.
On the other hand, it has been mentioned here more than once that even the standard equipment (a French remote-controlled vehicle) stupidly does not fit on board.
Apparently, therefore, it was announced that starting with the 8th ship, the project will be modernized with an increase in the size of the hull.

Wonderful news in the morning! The minesweepers are very necessary ships, real hard workers of the sea, seven feet to him!
Balyaev Yakov Illarionovich

On the outskirts of the city, fierce battles unfolded for a nameless hill. In one of the reconnaissance operations, Balyaev summoned enemy fire, which allowed the scouts to detect the location of the firing points. Then he covered the retreat of the reconnaissance group and participated in a swift attack on enemy positions. He was wounded in the leg, but did not leave the battlefield, but continued to destroy the enemy, covering his comrades.
Soon, having received a second wound, the brave fighter noticed that Japanese soldiers were approaching him to take him prisoner. Balyaev gathered his last strength, got up and stunned the officer and 2 enemy soldiers with the butt of a machine gun. However, an enemy bullet ended the hero's life. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of September 14, 1945, for exemplary performance of combat missions of the command on the front of the fight against Japanese militarists and for the courage and heroism shown at the same time, sailor Yakov Illarionovich Balyaev was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The Yakov Balyaev mine defense ship raised the Andreevsky flag.

The St. Andrew's flag is raised! How it cheers up, in contrast to
boring expressions, like - "shifted to the right".

[Tiksi-3]

I wish the Pacific Fleet to continue raising the St. Andrew's flags in the same spirit!

[Vladimir1155]

very good news, naval minesweepers and land-based combat aircraft are what the fleet needs most

[Castro Ruiz]

This is da.

[Tiksi-3]

Great news, although they already knew that NG would enter, now they would have to establish their rapid production + build anti-submarine ships, the Pacific Fleet needs this as air ..

[petrol cutter]

Forgive God, well, they wrote a trawler ...
It would be clearer.
Mine defense ship! ...
It's like a hammer drill operator! ..

The fact that the fleet is replenished is a plus. But they are building extremely slowly. Of the first 4 ships, only Ivan Antonov was commissioned 2 years after the laying. The rest have been building for at least 3 years. With a displacement of 900 tons. The same Georgy Kurbatov, apparently, is planned to be commissioned 6 years after the laying. They will come out for a construction period of at least 2 years, then it will be possible to congratulate.

[Orkraider]

Pacific Fleet with replenishment. Hurrah! Good replenishment for the Christmas tree, a direct gift

Sea minesweeper "Yakov Balyaev"

By the way, Wikipedia has already been corrected. The minesweeper is not sea, but basic, i.e. intended for operations in the near sea zone.
And at https://bmpd.livejournal.com/4223668.html it is also written that the project was re-qualified back from the marine to the basic one.
