Russian fleet - he has everything in the past?
On the site Odnoklassniki there are many officer groups in which there is a constant discussion of all urgent issues. Here is a message that leads to very sad thoughts:
“In the crew of the BOD Vice Admiral Kulakov, so far no officer has received a service apartment in Severomorsk. They say: "Wait." What? Those same apartments, which should, in the end, release retired soldiers. So all the "kulakovtsy" housing is being rented. "

What is happening with the Russian fleet? Where did the traditions laid down 250 years ago under Admiral F.F. Ushakov go? The media has written a lot of materials on the state of the Navy. As a rule, these are articles on the composition of fleets, on the balance of forces and means between fleets. But let's at least briefly consider the attendant circumstances.
1. Personnel. I remember the film-dilogue of twenty-five years ago "In the zone of special attention" and "Return move". The patriotic component of these films was so great that the recruits enrolled en masse in the Airborne Forces and the Navy. I recall an inscription made in one of the military schools on the territory of a guarded facility by another sentry: “And I want to sleep - And I feel sorry for the Motherland!”. It seems like a simple inscription, however, it says a lot. And after all, they thought (!) About the Motherland.
Since childhood, Nakhimovites have been brought up in the best traditions. How many Nakhimovites became brilliant officers, how many of them became holders of the highest orders. Even V.S. Pikul in his sea novels showed the necessity of transferring maritime traditions through quite a long training. It is impossible for 2 to prepare a high-class sailor. A young lieutenant, after studying 5 years, receives only general concepts about the service. Often, a senior sailor knows more than a green lieutenant. The system of training of the Navy that had developed over the years from training to the academy received a hole below the waterline and began to sink.
Another quote from the site Odnoklassniki. The question asks the wife of a military officer: "PROBLEM!!!! The spouse has to go to school and talk to the 7-9 classes, what do you think he should tell? He took part from 1988 in Fergana to 2007 in Chechnya, (in all the hot spots of the CIS), he worries what he can tell so that the authorities do not hurt and the children understand what a defender of the Motherland is. Your opinion?"
It is objectively clear that in life a lot has changed. Relations between countries have changed, the equipment has changed, new materials, new technologies have appeared, people have changed. Most young people no longer have the former trembling of the soul at the sight of a neat Nakhimov member. This means that the training system should be adjusted to the changed conditions, but not be a blind copy of the Western systems.
A rhetorical question: Is there a future for the Navy with the existing system of training specialists?
2. Lieutenants. Amazing magic begins when, having sunk along the parade-ground in the ranks of the latter-day lieutenants, after finishing off at the graduation party, the green lieutenant receives the documents and prepares for departure into the unit. There is a pleasant feeling in the shower - waiting for a miracle. However, all miracles end on arrival at the place of service. Repin's picture comes to mind: “We did not wait”. As always, the personnel officers confused something, and the place in the crew has not yet been vacated. Ordered to wait. The hostel is not the first freshness. Evening walks in hot places. This is how the survival tests begin. Not all this test stand.
A rhetorical question: Does the Navy have a future with such young specialists entering the system?
3. Further service. Suppose everything worked out, time flew by and recently a young lieutenant is already a seasoned lieutenant commander. Started a family. But there is no apartment yet. We are waiting, sir. The first child appeared. The child has grown up. It's time to go to the kindergarten, but there are no places. My wife would have a job, so that at least her skills in the profession would not be lost. Where is this job? The town is small. Cash allowance does not always come on time. But there is a lot of enthusiasm.
Where do they serve? The most complete fleet - North. 15 August. Murmansk Airport. The plane arrives at night. Temperature + 4. Snow breaks down. But the sailors are full of optimism. Motorway Murmansk - St. Petersburg. In the area of Medvezhyegorsk highway repair and exit to the bypass road. Before the congress, a huge shield with the inscription: “Comrade! Believe me There is no way through! ”. Well, here are the places there for very hard-nosed people. Polar. Through the lip from Severomorsk. Coldly. But they live. Rejoice even the smallest events in life. They love the sea! It is their joy and sadness. This is their life! They would help a little bit!
But no. None of the “higher” visited Vidyayevo for the tenth anniversary of “Kursk”. "She drowned," and that's it. Details here: http://3rm.info/publications/4661-ego-velichestvo-lozh-kak-slivali-podlodku-kursk.html
From January on the SF went layoffs on the OSHM. This is written on the Internet. And where do these officers go? They write an appeal to the leaders of the state and post on the Internet. And a certain Colonel Voronkov, 36-years, besides, a professor, a doctor of science, an officer in the Arbat district, also at Odnoklassniki, gives such officers a characteristic — waste material. In connection with this situation, the mass of highly qualified officers, from 40 to 50, left the fleet. We can state a violation of the continuity of the naval traditions.
A rhetorical question: Does the Navy have a future with such an attitude of the highest authority towards the backbone of the fleet, towards the most dedicated officers, sea officers?
4. Changing tasks in theaters of war. Leading analysts in the Main Command of the Navy and the General Staff are engaged in a deep analysis of the tasks facing different theaters of operations. Although no, they did. At present, there are practically no such analysts left. Let's look briefly.
BSF. It makes no sense to discuss the fact that the old structures can not solve new problems. They invented new structures and reassigned the Black Sea Fleet NF! Now dispatches from Rostov-on-Don manage the operational activities of the Black Sea Fleet ?! According to all analysts, the Black Sea Fleet loses to the Turkish Navy. And multiple. Ship composition is old and completely dissimilar. Just serving out. And the ongoing negotiations with the Ukrainian side of Sevastopol. The loss of Sevastopol is equivalent to the loss of the fleet today.
BF. Part of the bases was lost due to the separation of the Baltic republics. At the same time, an established management system has been lost. Unfortunately, the Baltic Fleet also loses significantly to the NATO grouping in the Baltic Sea.
In fact, both the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet currently can perform combat functions only nominally. The main task of them is purely representative - the demonstration of the flag.
SF. Here is the most combat-ready part of the Navy. The ships of the Federation Council, if necessary, are able to come to the aid of the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet. However, there was a problem of scheduled repair of ships. The Navy is not able to provide such repairs. And, in connection with this circumstance, a number of ships may be dropped from the fleet, which will inevitably lead to the conversion of the Federation Council into a flotilla.
Pacific Fleet. Here is an excerpt from the statements of sailors in Odnoklassniki: “In 2007, I rested in the Primorsky Territory, drove to the“ New Pier ”in the Abrek Bay ... and was horrified! It turns out that the surface fleet is NO! It is a pile of scrap metal. The division of rocket ships is called by the locals "Iron Kaput Division." Only the 1 unit is able to enter the exercise - a rocket-bombing boat. But the connection is commanded by the admiral, with all the staff headquarters due! ". And the Pacific Fleet actually no longer. Formed some kind of incomprehensible structure with an incomprehensible purpose - the Kamchatka and Primorsk groups. And, if the BSF, SF, BF can at least somehow interact, then the FF will have no one to help!
In the ocean zone dominated by the US Navy. Since there are no inland seas in the USA, almost 95% Navy are designed for the ocean zone. And what about the Russian Navy? Of the surface ships, only Peter the Great and Admiral Kuznetsov plow the expanses of the world's oceans. And even without proper security and maintenance! Why? Yes, because it is sold!
Where was the "highest" command, when part of the ships was sold for a cap of crackers. Excerpt from the Internet:
The guard ship "Zorky" - 227,5 thousand dollars
Patrol ship "Strict" - 316,5 thousand dollars.
And the list goes on!
It is well known how Minsk and Novorossiysk TAKR were sold! Here are indicative stories! Even the secret weapons are not removed.
A rhetorical question: Does the Navy have a future if the state of the fleets does not adapt to the modern tasks of all theaters?
5. You can read about the current state of the ship's composition here:
http://www.transport.ru/2_period/more/96_6/vmf.htm
Attention should be paid to one controversial point. This development is in the direction of increasing the significance of the NSNF (naval strategic nuclear forces). 2007 is indicative of the year when about 70% of the funds allocated for the construction of all new ships were sent to the tab of three submarines of the 955 and 955А series. Moreover, submarine cruisers 955 series are considered among the most expensive ships. But attention! The main problem is that the development of the NSNF is completely unsupported by the development of the support system. The forces that are needed to cover cruisers at sea are becoming obsolete at an accelerated pace, and no new ones are visible on the stocks.
When developing tactics and strategies for using the NSNF, the need for a systematic consideration of all issues, including support, is completely ignored. The lessons of the Falklands crisis of 1982 of the year have convincingly demonstrated the capabilities of offensive forces when used in combination. But the feeling is that these lessons were not considered. But before 90-ies, on all readings of orders in parts, orders were considered that considered these or those situations and training tasks arising from the obtained experience were set in the orderly part.
There is one more serious problem - low coefficient of operating voltage. As a result, a very expensive cruiser becomes a vulnerable target for the enemy while parked in the base. Well, the Navy cannot in its current state ensure a longer stay in the database. By the way KOH and in the times of the USSR was not too high.
By investing huge amounts of money in the development of the NSNS, the developers of military doctrine actually consider only one, and the least likely scenario of a military conflict is a general nuclear war. Meanwhile, a huge number of tasks in peacetime and wartime should be solved by non-nuclear general-purpose forces. What is worth only the task of ensuring international security in the Gulf of Aden. And the protection of territorial waters, the coast of Russia, participation in anti-terrorist operations. Here we need completely different forces and means.
Unfortunately, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense performs completely inexplicable from the point of view of logic, action. How many years has the issue of transferring the Main Command of the Navy to St. Petersburg been discussed? A group of honored admirals was forced to write an open letter asking about the expediency of such a translation. The cost of the transfer was estimated at 40 - 50 billion rubles. And the cost of a serious series ship is about 2 billion rubles. In the conditions of ship shortage, the question arises: “Did anyone even calculate the translation program?”. Next news became the ability to rename the Main Board in the Department! Can the Department be managed by an effective manager?
A rhetorical question: Is there a future for the Navy if the general concept of using the forces and means of the Navy is not developed, with the subsequent placement of orders for the construction of ships of the respective classes?
6. State of the shipbuilding industry. Unfortunately, with the collapse of the USSR, about 40% of the shipbuilding industry remained in the CIS countries. Cooperative ties were broken and a lot had to be created anew. This left a very serious negative imprint on the entire industry. According to eyewitnesses, the ranks of the leading designers in the Rubin Design Bureau were greatly thinned. Many areas are simply rented out. Underfunding does not allow rhythmic work at the shipyards of factories. As a result, projects that had been launched for many years were stuck on the stocks.
Especially big questions are caused by the lack of the ability to transfer the traditions of working specialties. There is a huge shortage of youth. This is especially true of machine workers. On high-precision metalworking machines work age workers. And who will replace them is completely unclear.
A rhetorical question: Does the Navy have a future if the shipbuilding industry continues to remain in its current state?
Hack and predictor Aviator: the future of the Russian Navy, with all the difficulties, may well be. There have already been examples of fleet resurgence in history. We need only the desire of the authorities, the political will to resolve all rhetorical issues. And people who love the sea, desperately devoted to the maritime profession in Russia have been, are and will be!
“In the crew of the BOD Vice Admiral Kulakov, so far no officer has received a service apartment in Severomorsk. They say: "Wait." What? Those same apartments, which should, in the end, release retired soldiers. So all the "kulakovtsy" housing is being rented. "
