Russia is a hospitable country, so welcome !!! Bread and salt as they say

[krasin]

Calls of warships with friendly visits! This is something reminiscent of the recent past. Russia, then it is worth something!
WELCOME!

[TRex]

Maybe there is a preparation for the transition: Astrakhan - Rostov - Middle-earth through the channel? Nowadays (80-s), marines from the Black Sea Fleet, together with the KFOR, went to the Caspian in this way ...

[shamil]

it’s quite possible or to show am that they can bypass this way

[Ruslan67]

And on the way back, will the bridges be exactly divorced or will the crews go home on buses?

Will they go home on buses?

On the S-300 will go home

[StrateG]

The Iranians came to visit. Well, if so, we will meet as expected. Do not disgrace yourself ...

[alexng]

And loaded them to the eyeballs of the anti-democratizers.

A question for knowledgeable people - how high can ships of this class go up the Volga? Reach the Lower?

[Wedmak]

Volgodonsk has a draft of 2 meters, Iranian boats are unlikely to have more, they can reach Moscow.

according to our GDP on the Volga, Don, and the system of rivers and canals, they, if desired, can even get to the Baltic through St. Petersburg! In general, for these GDP, we have merchant ships of a mixed river / sea sailing with a displacement of 5000 tons and a draft of up to 5 meters, so ...
in Soviet times, they built submarines in Gorky (Lower), which then naturally went into the sea, but they definitely didn’t have an 3 meter! :))

[Bort radist]

The Iranians will visit the Naval Museum of the Caspian Flotilla, the Museum of Military Glory, and the Volgodonsk ship.

[kirieeleyson]

And the ropes pull)))))))))))))))) Well, finally.

[Wedmak]

Curious. I'll try to get there today, take pictures of the ships.

Russia shows the US and NATO that Russia and Iran are strengthening friendly and military ties. In the case of preparations for the US and NATO aggression against Iran, they will have to take into account the fact that Russia will not stand aside.

[Trailer]

Beautiful ships. God grant that our Caspian Sea remains a peaceful sea!

[Tuzik]

C300 they fit in?

[Wedmak]

Uh ... funny. If the steam fit in the displacement, then what would be the point?

[old man54]

fit where ??? :))) This BOATS !!!, although missile. You can still attach a batch of our MANPADS there, if you wish, but C-300 ... Did you even see a car from C-300? there a cargo tank of the tank landing type is needed, with a ramp. I think that the dimensions of the hold of our simple Caspian bulk carrier will not even fit, it won’t.

[Ivan.]

The main thing is a thick hint of understanding on the issue of s-300 supplies and the related lawsuit against the Russian Federation - they will agree.

[shamil]

not a damn yourself! class. here is a friendship visit

eh, today will be a great binge :) welcome!

do you think that the Iranians will start drinking?))) I think they will discuss S300V1, 4 million dollars, give them victory on the ropes, give further instructions, feed them and take them home

Do not rise high - until the first bridge. When our ships are distilled, the masts and radar are removed from them.
I don’t understand what is the connection between the ships of the Caspian flotilla, the Iranian warships and the Black Sea missile boat indicated in the photo?

AAA, in the lower Volga, in its delta. what bridges are low? I didn’t know ... apparently the serious GDPs from the Volgodonsk Canal begin.

[Bashkaus]

It’s a pity I don’t live in Astrakhan, I would go to meet and greet.
Moscow is a port of five seas.
I represent the faces of the Geyropeytsy when the Europeans in the Baltic states like hell out of a snuffbox Iranian boats appear))

ASTRAKHAN, June 28. / ITAR-TASS /. Warships of the Caspian flotilla will visit the ports of the Islamic Republic of Iran this fall. This was announced today to journalists by the deputy commander of the Caspian flotilla Nikolay Yakubovsky, adding that there is already a preliminary agreement on a friendly return visit.

[Thunderbolt]

They should carry out exercises, "to prevent piracy in the Caspian." I think there will be no harm.
