Bester-1 rescue underwater vehicle is ready for state tests

The newest rescue submersible Bester-1 will be accepted into the Russian Navy at the end of the current - early next year, Interfax-AVN reported, citing the press service and information departments of the Russian Defense Ministry on the Navy.

“The crew of the apparatus was trained and trained in an underwater vehicle of a similar design in the North navy. Now the team is preparing for the state phase of testing the Bester-1 submarine. It is planned that the Bester-1 Navy will be accepted at the end of the current - beginning of next year, ”the representative of the Ministry of Defense said.

According to him, with the adoption of the "Bester-1" in the composition of the forces of search and rescue support of the Navy will significantly expand the ability to assist in submarines in emergency situations.

The representative of the Ministry of Defense noted that the characteristics incorporated in this deep-water apparatus, have no analogues in the world.

Its distinctive feature: the latest apparatus control systems, the accuracy of its positioning and navigation at depth, the availability of a unified automated control system, more powerful and fundamentally new propulsion and steering systems, a new guidance system, landing and attachment to an emergency submarine, a new docking chamber to an emergency submarine. exit from the submarine, through which it will be possible to evacuate people at a heel to 45 degrees.

The representative of the Ministry of Defense noted that all previous rescue vehicles built in the country and abroad could assist the crew of the submarine in distress when the emergency submarine roll was no more than 15 degrees.

The 18271 Bester-1 deep-sea rescue vehicle was developed by the specialists of the Nizhniy Novgorod CDB Lazurit and built at the Admiralty Shipyards.

The rescue device of the 18271 project was conceived as a modernization of the 18270 Bester project, which was built in 1994 and is the first mobile rescue device in Russia. For the first time, practical exercises on its road and air transport (An-124 aircraft) were successfully held in the 1996 year.

Bester-1 rescue underwater vehicle is ready for state tests

The soonest admission to the fleet, and let their outputs be training, not combat ... But with it, QUIET ...

[Siberian]

The most important thing is that these devices would be at the right time, and the right place.

[Kir]

Better yet, there should be as little need for them as possible, simply put, the number of dives was equal to the number of ascent !!! In general, the news pleased, at least they create something.

Under the media of this unit, it would be nice to adapt the ekranoplan. Speed, carrying capacity, everything is in it, but there is no ekranoplan itself.

[lelikas]

It would be better if this time never came.

[mirag2]

Hurray! Descendant of "WORLDS".
Of course, there are no analogues. It was not for nothing that Cameron used them when descending to the Titanic.

[avt]

A very necessary device! Let it pop up as many times as it sinks.

[AVV]

New equipment, new opportunities !!! And the modernization potential, it has a good foundation, which is very important !!!

Who knows why such restrictions on the corners (docking) must be assumed ???

[Current 72]

So not everything is lost with us! Well done! And I support svp67, God forbid that these were training dives, and not military ones!

[Same lech]

What is the depth of immersion, the number of crew and rescued people, how long it can be under water, and then I would like to have more detailed data about this device.

hmm, if there was such a submarine at the time of the death of the Kursk submarine, they could hypotonically save the crew (the roll angle after the accident was 40 degrees), Lord, why do we have all the inventions "paid for" with human lives

The death of the Kursk is still shrouded in secrets. I had the impression then that they were in no hurry to save the crew.

This is because too much dregs were made when they were submitted to the media, then they knock, they don’t knock, but I heard on the tram that in general the scale of the catastrophe was determined rather quickly by inspecting certain aggregates. But again - from the realm of speculation. As well as the cause of the death of the boat.

Muti a lot, that's for sure. There is a video, it’s harder to stir up there. Look at this fragment, 2 min. 40 sec., There is no special roll and the coaming area is flat without damage, as they tried to file.
The reason for the sinking is one thing, why not saved, is a completely different issue. They waited a whole week.
There is also a video from the news, where the correspondent asks the officer with the AC-36, he can not intelligently say anything, only that he can not pump water. Before that, they joined, after Kursk the same thing without problems. Apparently, they decided to do without witnesses. Yes, and the fleet was driven away from the boat immediately, so that the sound of hydroacoustics would not bother. I see the situation like that.

[SV]

I had two relatives there at that time, they say behind the scenes behind the Kursk that our fleet was trying to offend the mattresses and if it weren’t for their prudence (or cowardice) they would really upset them.

[lelikas]

the angle of heel after the accident was 40 degrees - Where did this information come from?

Deceived a man, to see everything. Our media are the most humane media in the world.
"It blew with the wind," as in a stupid joke: "... come on mother, pour the" north wind ""!

[Siberian German]

For the first time, practical exercises on its auto and air transportation (by An-124 aircraft) were successfully held in 1996. -keywords have been successfully tested - why then didn’t they successfully save the Kursk since it’s also airborne

[Edward72]

Sergey, why was the nose cut off and blown up, there are many "why"

[shinobi]

Because there were devices in torpedo tubes at the platoon that no one in the world still has. We have been in service since the mid-70s. For some reason, putting them on fuses didn’t work. For the same reason, the entire navy was driven away for 100 miles zone, because if that machine jumps out of the device, it doesn’t calm down until it finds the target. It has a range of 70 miles, if it doesn’t fail. If one of these things gets hit, the heavy cruiser breaks in half. learn in 3 years.

[mamba]

The name is chosen strange: bester is a hybrid of beluga and sterlet, although it sounds foreign. In any case, if, God forbid, an accident occurs on any of our submarines, we wish Bester to be there on time and clearly work.

[Tyumen]

Thank you, I did not know about such a hybrid, albeit a fisherman. Apparently, they brought to the caviar.

[Migari]

The great news, the need to have such an apparatus, is long overdue, and it is very pleasing that our experts designed the apparatus with such high characteristics, this once again emphasizes the high skill of our scientists, designers and machine builders. Seven feet under the keel!

[chunga-changa]

Okay 45 degrees "has no foreign analogs", but "fundamentally new propulsion and steering systems", "a representative of the Ministry of Defense" generally understands the meaning of these words. What are these new principles, they rule with lasers, and instead of electric motion, they manipulate gravity? I no longer have the strength to read this. This is irrespective of the apparatus itself, which is absolutely necessary and useful.

[lelikas]

I mean the columns of the thrusters - for ours they are really new.

[chunga-changa]

No, I don’t argue about the new ones, but it says “fundamentally new”, that is, based on new principles, that's what infuriates.

[old rocket man]

Finally, since 1996, our bureaucrats have been rocking, as many as 17 years, despite the fact that from the presence of these devices on every fleet at least two, people's lives depend. The score in such cases is not even for hours, for minutes.
Very good news

[morpogr]

I wanted such vehicles on which people's lives depend to come to the fleet more quickly and in the right amount.

[Larus]

I hope one is not limited.
And as from the realm of fantasy, it would still be desirable where he sat down, and cut a "hole" there to free the crew ...

[shpuntik]

The 18271 Bester-1 deep-sea rescue vehicle was developed by the specialists of the Nizhniy Novgorod CDB Lazurit and built at the Admiralty Shipyards.

They have been waiting for him for a long time. By raising the flag, money should go to the shipyard, this is the same plus. As I understand it, another will be built.

[Misantrop]

Quote: Larus

where he sat down and cut out a "hole" to free the crew ...

You’re tired of cutting 7 cm of strong steel. This is after you cut through a light body. And inside the submarine itself there are not many places where cables, highways, etc. do not go along the hull To find a place for training personnel in the compartment in the installation of the sliding stop, you have to climb the entire compartment more than once. And there you need places with a handkerchief ...

But actually the "sliding stop" itself ...

And about the "lack of space", you can say this:
In the submarine, completely incompatible things are combined in everyday life - steam, water, air, shit, electric ... and other wires

As I understand it, the carrier is considered exclusively the ship. In terms of delivering the submarine to the accident site. Are they not trying, at least on paper, to adapt a seaplane for its delivery or to revive the same ekranoplan "Rescuer"? The mass of the device is 39 tons - it can be considered as an airmobile one.

[sub307]

The topic of LNG delivery to the site of the submarine accident has been "exciting the minds" for a long time. There are a lot of offers of different options. Taking into account the fact that the water area in the areas of PLPL activity is quite rarely in a state of calm, or so, the use of a seaplane and ekranoplanes even hypothetically looks extremely doubtful. Yes, and the load is large. But a specially equipped underwater vehicle would be quite good.

[Kir]

If I don’t confuse what happened during the USSR, it’s kind of like with two devices mounted on top.

[desava]

Quote: sub307

it is quite rare in the state of calm

Just the same, the weather has never interfered with the production of search and rescue operations when it came to a submarine in distress. The latest examples are Kursk, Komsomolets, K-219 ... Time plays an important role. Seaplanes and ekranoplanes can be used on sea waves up to 5 points. This was quite enough for the mentioned accidents. But until the submarine rescuer gets to the scene of the accident (well, let's calculate how long it would take for her to get to the same Komsomolets in the Norwegian Sea? About the K-219 in the Caribbean, I am silent at all) ... the carrier (for example, Project 940 Lenok) is in front of a high-speed surface vessel?

[Kir]

Excuse me for how long can rescue underwater vehicles be at a depth? And here, as they say, the all-weather base is at hand, we do not forget about the method of lowering and raising these devices to their carrier (the ekranolet is obviously not suitable for this role, but only as a delivery man).

[desava]

Quote: Kir

about the way the descent-ascent of these devices to their carrier

I don’t quite understand what you mean.
An all-weather base is also a rather vague concept, but the truth is yours. A pressure chamber for a hundred people is necessary. For these purposes, you will have to use a second medium. Laid on - I agree. But not like the design, development, construction, maintenance and operation of an entire carrier submarine.
The topic, of course, is quite extensive ...

[Kir]

Unfortunately, I can only judge by literature and documentaries, but what is emerging, let's say, is not very optimistic and fast, by descent and ascent to their carrier I mean the entire procedure of lowering the apparatus overboard and its subsequent lifting aboard the carrier vessel using, let's say "cranes" that you will agree that even with calm water it takes time and skill, and even with excitement there is no need to say that it is avoided when basing on an underwater carrier, the autonomy of the carrier is also important, and in this parameter there are no equal nuclear power plants, but where they are standing. So it turns out how not to twist the nuclear submarine as a carrier.

[desava]

It does not make sense to make an atomic submarine a carrier - a submarine carrier will completely cope with the task in this matter.
Ascent and descent for a vessel is simplified if it is of a catamaran design ("Paris Commune"), or has a semblance of a dock chamber in the center of the hull - then the effect of waves affects the scale of vibrations of the entire vessel, and the vibrations of the apparatus in relation to the vessel will be small. It is not necessary to completely lift the apparatus out of the water - it is enough to ensure the transfer of the rescued crew from the apparatus to the pressure chamber on board the carrier. A nuclear submarine is a carrier if you already use it not only (not even just not only, but mainly) as a rescue vehicle, but as a reconnaissance and sabotage weapon with the ensuing capabilities, goals and objectives.

[sub307]

"The rescue vehicle of project 18271 was conceived as an upgrade of the project 18270 Bester, which was built in 1994 and is the first mobile rescue vehicle in Russia." A very dubious statement, but what about the pr.80 "Prize" vehicles built in the 1855s (and those only)? And, in itself, the fact is certainly gratifying, even more so, and the carrier with the GVK-400 is provided. The "step forward" in this area is tangible.

[Kir]

It probably says that this one was built and designed in Russia, is there just another question, is it completely different, or is it all from the USSR?

[APASUS]

How much our Fleet had to endure and how many to lose, so that it would become clear that there was a crime reducing our rescue service. Now it is of course reborn, but there is no information that we are building new rescue ships. Therefore, the old Commune went through modernization and did not go into can't retire?

[alone]

the most important thing is that they do not sell to the Chinese. otherwise they rivet oh mom do not worry.

[Manul]

Very good news. God forbid, Bester will stay without serious work. But as practice shows, it happens and will happen. And the guys at the depth can now feel calmer, knowing that the chances of surviving in emergency situations will now be higher. Only from the phrase "not has analogues "will soon be shaking and provoking violent seizures .Well, why not refer to the closest analogues, and say what characteristics are superior ???

[Yugra]

I would like to wish this unit to have no work at all. But ... on the submarine everything happens ...

[patriot2]

The designer of underwater rescue vehicles is on the right track! Good luck

[n-kama]

we hope that everything goes away without kickbacks

[Neighbor]

My father was commissioned by an old diver in 60. Literature, and I read everything in a row and binge, was enough for his specialty. So I got the impression that they were waiting for those who survived from the crew to die guaranteed.
