Ship BSF "Saratov" returned to service after repair

Large landing ship (BDK) "Saratov" - one of the oldest ships of the Black Sea fleet - after a repair that lasted almost a year, he again became a part of the constant readiness forces, said Captain First Rank Vyacheslav Trukhachev, chief of the press service of the Black Sea Fleet.

"In Sevastopol, completed a ten-month repair BDK" Saratov ". One of the oldest ships of the compound, which is the first in a series of 14 units of the 1171 project, became part of the forces of constant readiness. The ship has already conducted a checkout at sea and has successfully passed pre-departure checks, ”he said, according to ITAR-TASS.

It is expected that in the near future, as part of the rotation of forces, the BDK "Saratov" will become part of the permanent naval compound of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea.

BDK project 1171 "Voronezh Komsomol member" was accepted into the USSR Navy in 1966 year. In 2003, the ship received a new name - "Saratov".

I'm even more than sure that it will not go empty.

[alex-s]

That's right, but why bring some air when Syria needs help!

[Hans grohman]

Pleased with the news! Rhinos come back, and shouted that everything went to waste.

[ikken]

Well done! Good news.
Still, the new ones would be put into operation, and not only the old ones were being repaired.

If the BDK is to be driven empty to Mediterranean, then it is not at all clear what is the use of it there, and given the fact that the BDK there often "changes on a rotational basis", then it is clear that a streamlined conveyor for the supply of weapons and ammunition to Syria will be and continue to work, which is wonderful, you have to "please" your friends-mattress with something

Something this fleet veteran (38 years old) painfully resembles a cargo ship. Arms are not visible. Only color from the Navy.

We wrote one line and made two mistakes! Firstly, since 66th it is 48 years old, and secondly, even in this photo one can see a "double-barreled gun" in front of the captain's bridge, and it also has hail. So the pirates will be brushed aside.

Each ship has its own task, this is precisely the cargo landing ship !!!

Good news!!!
It is a pity that they did not do the same with BDK pr.1174.

The BDK of the 1174 project is the most spacious in the Russian Navy. In their capabilities, they are comparable to the Mistral-type universal landing ships purchased in France. The lead ship of this project - BDK "Ivan Rogov" - was cut in the 1996 year, another - "Alexander Nikolaev" - has rotted since the 1997 year in the Pacific Fleet.

BDK pr 1174 can take on board up to 50 tanks, 80 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles or 120 trucks. Six landing boats are placed in the dock chamber (Mistral has four) either three hovercraft (Mistral has two). The ship carries four Ka-29 transport and attack helicopters.

Of course, it was repaired well. Only a quite reasonable question arises: was it possible to build a new one? The ship is already 48 years old. If he spoke like a man, he would probably say: "Good people. Let me go, I already want to rest!"

[PLO]

it’s possible to build, only the Moscow region has been pulling a cat for 10 years with Gren’s eggs;
