Submarine missile carrier "Knyaz Oleg" of the "Borey-A" project has completed the first stage of tests

The first serial nuclear-powered strategic missile cruiser of the Borey-A project, Knyaz Oleg, completed its first exit to sea and returned to the base. The first test launch of the submarine missile carrier took more than two weeks.

According to a source in the military-industrial complex referred to by TASS, "Prince Oleg" returned to "Sevmash" after the first test run to sea, which lasted more than two weeks. There is no information about any further plans in the message. At the enterprise itself, according to the already established tradition, such messages are not officially commented on.

The first launch of the APRKSN "Prince Oleg" at sea became known at the end of May, it was reported that on May 30 in the evening the missile carrier left the base and headed to one of the sea ranges of the Northern fleet... At the same time, it was noted that the tests began earlier than planned.

Nothing is known about the test program itself at the first stage, neither Sevmash nor the Defense Ministry comments on the tests.

According to the information announced earlier, the Knyaz Oleg APRKSN will become part of the Russian Navy in the fourth quarter of this year, that is, not earlier than October. Until that time, he will have to go through the entire test program, including launches of the Bulava from the Barents Sea from a submerged position at a target at the Kura training ground in Kamchatka.

Seven feet under the keel of our "strategist"!

[Borik]

A start. A little more is still a little bit left, and God forbid, by the new year to be accepted into the Russian fleet.

[hrych]

If you noticed, then, in contrast to the first Boreys, who used the Schuk-B compartments, the Boreys had a barely noticeable hump from the missile compartment, which, with contours extending even in front of the wheelhouse, was streamlined. That did not prevent SSBNs from being made almost at the speed of a thirty-node multipurpose vehicle. In Boreev-A, this is not visible at all, there is less turbulence and even more speed. Several knots will probably increase and exceed 30 knots.

How huge it is. Why are all our boats larger than their counterparts abroad? What is the problem? In missile sizes?

[Artyom Karagodin]

First, our boats are double-hulled. And secondly ... "Secondly" there are many other nuances, each of which should be considered separately. If we compare "Ash" and "Virginia", then our nuclear submarines carry significantly more weapons, because they were conceived as universal. To perform the functions of "killer-hunters", and to work with rockets along the coast and AUG. Plus, again, two buildings instead of one for the Yusovites.

[vegan]

As far as I remember, Ash is semi-hull, not two. At the same time, the difference in displacement with a virgin is 2 times

[Artyom Karagodin]

Ash-M - yes, one and a half, and it is smaller than Severodvinsk with its 12,8 kilotons of underwater. But 1,5 hulls make a difference early. True, not twice (I don't know where you got such data from). The first "Virginias" have less than 8 submarine VI, later versions - more, since the weapons are more powerful. So the difference is not twofold after all.

The last "blocks", if my memory serves me right, almost reach 10, and according to some estimates - a little more, tk. weapons were added there. And if we take into account that Yasen-M is smaller than Severodvinsk, then we get comparable sizes of the latest modifications of American nuclear submarines and ours.

Because otherwise a swimming pool with a sauna will not fit into the boat, we are not some Americans to walk unwashed!

I'm afraid the officers will hardly allow soldiers to enter this sauna.

It seems to me, on the contrary, that Russians are much less demanding in terms of conditions and comfort. No wonder there are so many jokes about the importance of toilet paper in the American army.

Secondly in the Navy, absolutely EVERYTHING is determined by the ship routine! W.t.ch. and who and when should visit the bathhouse!

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

For people who live with families, in military garrisons in the North and in the Far East, and even serve on the nuclear submarine, I would be senseless and install discos on boats. He also assigned a servant to each in the form of 2-3 concubines.

The mace is even slightly smaller than the Trident.
And the boat itself is no more, Ohio is 170 m long, hull width 12,8 m.
Boreas A is 170 m long, 13,5 m wide.

Displacement Borey 24000t, Ohio - 18700t. Borei is a quarter more, and carries only 18 missiles, instead of 24.

Our boats are designed in such a way that they have to break through the ice of a certain thickness when surfacing, and this requires mass.

[vegan]

That's why write nonsense, if not in the subject? Ohio regularly float up quite normally in the north, breaking the ice.

In the subject, how thick is the ice "breaking through" Ohio? And then how do the Merikatos free their boats with chainsaws, crowbars, etc., etc.?

[ProkletyiPirat]

1) additional displacement in the surface mode for entering shallower water areas (the ability to reduce the draft)
2) increased strength safety and excess buoyancy in difficult ice conditions, which is especially important when working on ice. So, for example, due to the additional displacement, it is easier to break through the ice.
3) They also often say "protection from torpedoes" referring to the design of the "armor of battleships" but this is nonsense, because although the technologies are similar, protection under water will not work due to the non-compressibility of the liquid.
There are other advantages, but they are no longer so significant.

But I’m interested.
Why just fire a rocket over the range? She's dear. And in itself it is already fully tested.
Wouldn't it be better to load a real satellite into this rocket instead of a mock warhead, for example? And the boat will be checked, and usefully money down the drain.

1) The rocket is launched not "somewhere upward" but along a certain trajectory where it is possible to track telemetry throughout the flight
2) satellites have completely different orbits

I never doubt it.
But my thought is that the boat is being tested, not the rocket.
That the rocket can fly along a certain trajectory is understandable, and it does not depend on the boat at all.
Let the money burn for good.

[bk316]

Let the money burn for good.

Will not ride. Mace does not know how to display satellites, in general, any missile needs to be altered by the warhead at least. And they usually shoot not with new missiles, and the satellite costs a lot, and you can't insure such a launch. In general, there are more disadvantages.

[lucul]

Russia with great pleasure would get the "export" Patriot ...
Even more expensive than it sells!)

In the foreground is the Tsypnavolok cape, in the back the island of Kildin and the Kildinskaya salma (strait), after 12 miles if there is a border to the north. Where is the Norwegian Mariyata behind the "fence" was, for sure. Eh youth in fishermen, the weather is "water in a swamp" extremely rare. End of May, beginning of July.

This is yes.
It seems that Russia is wide, but there is nowhere to build boats, only "behind the fence" from the neighbors.

In the photo, a purely advertising campaign. The exit to the patrol area looks a little different. Let the foes rack their brains! We know we participated!

Well, not without the help of our "partners", it is not in vain that they have seized the coast from Russia for centuries.

[alex aircraft]

That's what these names are - Prince Oleg, Vladimir, etc. ?? the first nuclear submarine was built under Khrushchev, the fleet became oceanic under Brezhnev Why not name them by their names? Or some princes who had no idea about the fleet. loves the Soviet period, but shouts that he will not allow the falsification of history. and when will they stop sewing up the mausoleum with plywood by May 9 ???

Both of the aforementioned general secretaries are ambiguous personalities ...
In a hundred years, the understanding of their role in the history of the Fatherland will settle down, maybe they will be called descendants ...
If they deem it necessary ...

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

These are the founders of the Russian state, without them there would have been nothing at all, neither Khrushchev nor Brezhnev, who squandered a huge country and brought the people to poverty, neither the fleet nor Russia itself.

And on May 9 we have Victory Day, it is celebrated, and you can go to Lenin in any city in Russia, full of monuments.

and this is probably "too lightly said" ...?!
So many efforts to the collapse of the created empire of I.V. Stalin, probably only Gorbachev and Yeltsin applied ...? !! only Andropov tried to save (at least something), but did not give ...
But Oleg, Svyatoslav, and Vladimir (although the latter is not undeniable), but for the Slavic empire they did a lot ...

A good strategist came out. Handsome.

And not as burdensome for the budget as pr.941 "Shark" and powerful, 16 missiles of 6-10 blocks + torpedo armament.
