The Pentagon will supply Ukraine with boats for the new Navy flotilla on the Dnieper

The United States will deliver 18 patrol boats to Ukraine, decommissioned from the Navy, Marine Corps and Army. According to preliminary information, all boats will be part of a new Ukrainian Navy flotilla being created on the Dnieper.

According to the Ukrainian press, citing American sources, the delivery will include two 35-foot SURC (Small Unit Riverine Craft) river boats, ten 34-foot Sea Ark Dauntless patrol boats and six 40-foot maritime combat patrol boats, whose name is not is given. The Pentagon itself claims that all boats are designed to operate on the waterways of Ukraine.

They are mainly intended to protect river routes so that Ukraine can maintain control over them. These boats can also be used in coastal areas

- said a spokesman for the US Department of Defense.

Kyiv confirms the imminent receipt of boats, adding that all of them will be included in the new river flotilla. As stated, the basis of the first division of the Ukrainian Navy on the Dnieper, whose task is to protect Kyiv, is converted fishing and pleasure boats and boats, the military is not there.

The 12m SURCs from SAFE Boats are the standard boats used by the Marine Corps and the US Navy on rivers. Speed ​​up to 40 knots, range 250 nautical miles. It has three points for mounting weapons - 7,62 mm or 12,7 mm machine guns or 40 mm Mk 19 automatic grenade launchers. Sea Ark Dauntless is a 10-meter aluminum boat with a draft of less than 1 meter, and can carry up to seven tons. Used to cover the naval bases of the US Navy.

Prepare to evacuate!!! Nevertheless, they agreed to divide the left-bank and right-bank outskirts .. But Russia does not agree! These boats will click them from UAVs or saboteurs-divers ..
Oh America, how you humiliate your vassals ..

How can a river boat be used under the dominance of attack drones?
If a tank can be camouflaged on land, then a boat is just an illuminated target.
And far from the front, he has no tasks.
It seems to me that Americans need victims among Ukrainians even more than among Russians

I'll try to tell you how.
1. delivery on a trailer under a tarpaulin with the logo of a well-known European company. It's not a problem - just 40 feet! And dry weight is low. Trawl will survive.
2. In the area of ​​​​the Odessa port, they will unload and re-equip with Swedish light anti-ship missiles of the RBS-17 type, which they seem to have already received. 2 large-caliber machine guns are removed at the stern, instead of them - 2 anti-ship missile launchers RBS-17.
3. two boats are moored side by side to the side of a dry cargo ship (preferably high-sided) covering from the radar about. Serpentine. Mooring at night, after the cargo ship left Odessa. Further, in tow, they go with a lag to the line-of-sight distance of the Snake.
4. At the appointed time, an attack on the island from the opposite side by Bayraktars, air defense forces, and other forces, and from the sea (from the Romanian coast or Odessa) by uncoupled coast guard boats at maximum speed.
The launch of anti-ship missiles, the illumination of the target after some time, so that they would not have time to put an aerosol curtain on the laser missile control center.
It is possible to have time with 2 hulls to launch 2x3 anti-ship missiles from each boat.
Withdrawal with the installation of a smoke screen and the shooting of the LC ...
This is so, offhand. But it's quite real. Therefore, the US Navy's 40 foot BOs (pictured) are very dangerous. They must be extinguished before the task is completed.
IMHO.

[78bor1973]

It's good that these anti-ship missiles are not like "onyx".

To be honest, I don't know. Probably... DROP.
A colleague asked for an explanation: how can small speedboats be used (in the US Navy, coastal defense, port security). Well, to the best of my understanding of the question, I answered. By the way. didn’t want to (the water one beguiled!) Because if the site is read by Ukronatsiks, this can vouchsafe them to such a use. But I think. due to the inconsistency in the interaction of the forces allocated for such an operation, they will not succeed.
And if our materials are filtered by the competent authorities, then there will be a warning. Which is also not bad.
Sincerely, Boa.

So then away from the front and with guns
And near the front, but with machine guns ...
Is it really possible to use it at sea, disguising the waste as a dry cargo ship. But anyway, machine guns will be useless here.

[78bor1973]

It seems like no one cares about such details anymore! The Americans treat their military like animals, and you want them to feel sorry for the Ukrainians, but for them, Ukrainians and Russians are all the same, they are the ones shouting on air that it is different!

In the meantime, without waiting for American boats, Ukraine took the initiative.
According to the Periscope Notepad Telegram channel, the Kashtan boats of the D-055 project, “the Kyiv version of the Moscow, built in 1979–94,” are used as combat units.
“Is it there, as flagship monitors, pleasure river trams of the Moskva type act, only slightly armored in front and painted in severe military camouflage so that the enemy is immediately afraid?” — writes the channel.

For defense or for strikes against the territory of the Russian Federation, this weapons - President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will determine himself," said John Kirby, spokesman for the US Department of Defense.

The transport infrastructure, on the western border of Ukraine, is not being touched. At one time they started hitting traction substations, but then they stopped. They take care of the railway communication, for the transport of goods to the west. Apparently the oligarchs got busy. As in 2014, when they agreed with Akhmetov not to take Mariupol into the DPR.

Read more carefully and do not twist my words. No one is saying to chase after trains with equipment on the railway. These are half measures. The point is that these trains should not be able to go there from the western borders at all. There are only a few entry points. The fingers on one hand are enough. After all, they have already said that the military has everything for this. They have the power, but they do not have the will.

In connection with the supply of river boats, I have a question. Can they theoretically somehow complicate the logistics of our troops in the Kakhovka area? Or, for example, contribute to the landing of troops in the rear of the Zaporozhye region, for example, in the Energodar region? Will additional forces be required to defend these areas?

[Incvizitor]

And it feels like something connects them! Especially after reading these lines:It is claimed that the core of the first division of the Ukrainian Navy on the Dnieper is made up of converted fishing and pleasure boats and motorboats; there are no military personnel there.

[Alex Kron]

What boats? It is dangerous to trust them with a trough.

[Yuri Veselov]

they are floating condoms.

[Albert Brecht]

This is some kind of dream! We are not so spoiled, we use inflatable watercraft (a circle, a mattress, armlets), and the opa is afraid of a luminous punt at a speed of 40 knots, but we will not give up the main thing: we have suffered, begged, the fruit of inspired labor, losses, disappointments and victories - Ours!

[VitaminBF3mg]

Well, 42 knots is not such an easy target

[Rage66]

This flotilla will become a terrible force, apparently

[sailor roman]

In any case, to ensure the operation of such floating assets, it is necessary to create a system of combat, special technical and logistics support, and this is a very vulnerable target for aircraft and cruise missiles, and on the water, the actions of such floating assets are relatively easy to detect and destroy.

[Nexcom]

Well, how many new admirals will appear now?

[Popov I.P.]

This is some indication that the "great maritime power Ukraine" is preparing to become a river state with a flotilla on the Dnieper. The Sea of ​​Azov is lost forever for Ukraine, and the loss of the Black Sea coast is a matter of the near future. The Ukrainian Navy is essentially written off: the ship composition is almost completely destroyed (maybe a couple of pennants remain, hidden somewhere in the estuaries), the naval aviation of the Ukrainian Navy has been zeroed out near Zmeinoye, the 36th Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy is in captivity, the 35th Marine Brigade remains incomplete, and possibly a coastal artillery brigade and a coastal missile division (possibly because in the area of ​​Odessa and Nikolvevo, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' military equipment is being disposed of daily along with the personnel). But it is unlikely that anyone has reduced the 13 admiral and general positions of the Ukrainian Navy. After the loss of Donbass, it will be the turn of Odessa and Nikolaev regions (a corridor to Transnistria is still needed), the not yet liberated areas of Zaporizhia and Kharkov regions, the goals of the Russian Armed Forces in relation to the purely Russian-speaking region - Dnipropetrovsk region are not yet clear, but so far there have only been strikes on military infrastructure, but the foot of a Russian soldier has not yet stepped during the SVO, although the battles are taking place not far from the borders of the region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine hope to use river boats during subsequent battles along the banks of the Dnieper, but in the case of the liberation of the Zaporizhia, Nikolaev, Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk regions and complete control of the lower reaches of the Dnieper and Danube by the Russian Armed Forces, this does not matter much for the Ukrainian Navy. Boats in the upper part of the Dnieper will be useful for Ukraine only for parades in Kyiv and the protection of the future river border, who will let them into the lower reaches of the Dnieper, not to mention the Black Sea. So the prospects for the Ukrainian Navy are very "bright"
