The newest icebreaker "Evpatiy Kolovrat" of project 21180M, built in St. Petersburg in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense, has begun passing factory sea trials. This was reported by the press service of the military department.

The diesel-electric icebreaker left the outfitting wall of the Almaz shipbuilding company and entered the Baltic Sea, with the crew and commissioning team of the enterprise on board. As part of the ZHI, all systems of the icebreaker and its characteristics, the operation of devices and mechanisms, etc. will be checked. The timing of the test in the message is not indicated. Most likely, "Evpaty Kolovrat" will become part of the Russian Navy "under the Christmas tree" or at the beginning of next year, it will depend on the tests.

The icebreaker will go to serve in the Pacific Fleet, it will be part of a detachment of ships providing troops and forces in the North-East of Russia. The crew for the icebreaker was formed in Kamchatka.

Evpatiy Kolovrat was laid down at Almaz in December 2018 and launched on November 20, 2020. Project 21180M, according to which it was built, is a further development of project 21180 with the only icebreaker Ilya Muromets. Unlike the base icebreaker, the new one is a "lighter version" with a shallower draft, allowing it to operate in shallow waters.

Full displacement - 4080 tons, hull length - 82 meters, width - 19 meters, draft - 4,6 meters. Speed ​​- up to 14 knots, cruising range - 7600 miles, autonomy - 30 days. Crew - 28 people. There is a platform for a helicopter. The icebreaker is capable of breaking ice up to 1 meter thick at a speed of 2 knots.

The ship is designed to provide basing and deployment of forces fleet in ice conditions, independent pilotage of ships and vessels, as well as their towing support in ice conditions.

In the photo, the icebreaker Ilya Muromets is on the northern roadstead of the port of Murmansk, opposite 35 SRZ. Favorite places.

"Admiral", you have a crew to give your life, to drag a NATO member with you. I am the first. But it will be bad to die in sea water. But we will not shame the memory of our grandfathers. The head is afraid, but the hands are doing.

We'll drink everything, but we won't disgrace the fleet! ............................................... .

Here we know how to laugh in a difficult moment! We cannot be defeated. An American submarine floats near a Russian fisherman. American: Do you speak English? How do you?

Or about the American captain:
In the sea:
- Hello, Russian!
- Fucking painted?! Torpedo attack!

The newest icebreaker "Evpatiy Kolovrat" project 21180M

Once in the service of the Navy, then it must have weapons or not?

[faiver]

this is an icebreaker, not a cruiser, and not with the Navy, but with the Navy

Specially looked for especially indignant.

there will be enough free space between the helipad and the superstructure so that, if necessary, an AK-230, AK-630 or AK-306 gun mount can be installed there

and not with the Navy, but with the Navy

I wrote the Navy, because this technique is universal and its tasks are wider than just breaking ice

Modern navies have the ability to deliver a nuclear strike against important ground targets of the enemy, destroy the forces of his fleet at sea and at naval bases, disrupt and disrupt ocean and maritime transportation, gain dominance in sea and ocean areas, help ground forces in carrying out operations on continental theaters of military operations, to carry out the defense of their sea and ocean transportation, to land amphibious assault forces.

Theoretically yes.
But in practice, one can recall the experience of operating naval ICE pr. 97P, which the Navy ordered on one project with border guards - with weapons installed - operated with it for several years and ... removed all weapons, actually returning pr. 97P to its origins - pr. 97 .

I just asked a question

[ch28k38]

As far as I know, with the exception of the Second World War, icebreakers did not use weapons, although light air defense would not hurt just in case.

[g_ae]

Well, judging by the film, which about Yevpatiy Kolvrat was shot by the unscrupulous creative Russian intelligentsia, everything with him was very complicated and ambiguous. He does not need such a fate.
Seven feet under the keel and successful campaigns.

[faiver]

Well, let's navigate through the movies ... Here, according to the battles of the Second World War of versions and options, the darkness is dark, and another hundred years have not passed. And according to the giving of antiquity deep and there is nothing to say ....

[g_ae]

Well, that's what they would call closer. You can even take something closer. That is why, by the way, for eight years, except for "Solntsepeka", nothing really was filmed about the Ukrainian events, but the Sumerians filmed all sorts of feces. And, by the way, they were freely brought to festivals in Russia. And then the whole country jumps and zigs.

[AVA77]

U, our Ryazan, oblique.
Good service, on the seas, oceans.

[tralflot1832]

Your slant-bellied during his service still goes to the North Pole, for nuclear icebreakers.

[Galleon]

I would not rush with running and moved them to February. Let meter-long ice prick yourself in February, what's the point of testing an icebreaker in clear water? You will test night vision devices at night, for example, the suspension - on potholes, and the all-terrain vehicle - off-road.

[tralflot1832]

There is no need to worry about the body, the whole problem is in the reverses. Full forward, full back.

[isv000]

It would be nice to lead him along the NSR, add pepper to the hegemon, and the crew will get used to it ...

[Galleon]

He will not pull the SMP, he is rather weak. In Sovetskaya Gavan, by the end of January, the ice was already a meter or more, and in the Arctic it will be even more serious.

Well, then they go along the NSR in caravans ...

Diesel-electric icebreaker left the outfitting wall of the Almaz shipbuilding company

How is he mine to leave the "Diamond" ?? If in August he was transferred to the BZ to install the mast?

[Bayun]

"What do you call the boat..."

Icebreaker "Arktika". Exactly! "North Pole", "Novozemelny", "Pomor", "Karsky", "Laptev" - these are the names of the northern ships.

Knowing the naval "folklore", "Evpaty Kolovrat" will definitely be akin to the "Japanese policeman" or "Egyptian force";)

[Nobody except us]

"Evpaty Kolovrat" - what a colorful, Russian name!

[iouris]

I wonder if the icebreaker "Harry Potter" will appear?
In Austria-Hungary, then in the Czech Republic, there was a real character with such a surname Count Alexander Joseph Kolowrat-Krakowsky (German: Alexander Joseph Graf Kolowrat-Krakowsky, known as Sasha Kolowrat-Krakowsky; January 29, 1886, Glen Ridge - December 4, 1927, Vienna ) - one of the founders of Austrian cinema, film producer, race car driver and pilot.
He was also noted in Russian history as Sasha Kolovrat. He actively participated in motor races, which was organized by the Imperial Russian Automobile Society (essno before WWI).
And Porsche made cars for him and Josip Broz Tito was an auto mechanic.

After the ZHI, the identified deficiencies are eliminated, changes are made according to the bulletins, then state tests begin, according to the results of which the ship is put into operation. This is the test procedure for the Navy.
