In Bulgaria, Varna, the repair of a large landing ship "Caesar Kunikov", which will soon be towed to Sevastopol, reports RIA News with reference to the head of the press service of the Black Sea Fleet Vyacheslav Trukhachev.

Ship repair began in July 2013 and was carried out at the expense of Bulgaria's outstanding debt to the USSR.

"The large landing ship of the Black Sea fleet "Caesar Kunikov" under the command of the captain of the second rank Roman Kotlyarov completed a one and a half year repair at the shipyard "Fleet Arsenal" in the Bulgarian port of Varna »- said the head of the press service.

He also added that "in the coming days, the Russian and Bulgarian sides are planning to sign documents on the completion of work on the ship." At the end of November, the BDK should be towed to Sevastopol, where "after the crew has handed over the course tasks, he will join the forces of constant readiness."

Help Agency: The “BDK-64” amphibious assault ship of the 775 project was built at the shipyard in Gdansk (Poland) and the 30 of September 1986 was commissioned on September.

Why towed, and not under its own power?

[Giant thought]

Towed, because without a team. It is good that at least in this way we take away our debts.

[Sergei1982]

Yes, we have repaired, and not at home.

[Umnichka]

The repair was only household, so to speak: the cabin lining was probably new, the galley equipment, all sorts of doors, windows, berths, railings and handrails, part of bulkheads not related to armament of pipelines and cable tracks, repair of decking were replaced according to the fault list as necessary (where there is), household lighting, all tables and jars are new at exorbitant prices, etc. rubbish. We underwent similar repairs in Poland at the floating workshops - after such a repair it is more pleasant, of course, to be on the premises of the ship, but such repairs have almost no effect on combat qualities, only indirectly.

It's not about where they repair, but about paying off debts.

Did you read the article carefully? FOR DEBTS. As they say, even a tuft of wool from a black sheep. The question is quality. From my own experience, I know that a familiar tinsmith made a wheelbarrow "for debts" ... As they say, feel the difference ...

[Drew]

oh how! Greetings from the past - due to the debt to the USSR! Interesting, but still?

[region46]

if only they did it normally, and not as for free ....

[Gans1234]

Shcha in the sea:
1. GRKR "Varyag".
2. GRKR "Moscow".
3. BOD "Admiral Vinogradov".
4. BPK "Marshal Shaposhnikov".
5. BOD "Severomorsk".
6. BOD "Vice-Admiral Kulakov".
7. TFR "Yaroslav the Wise".
8. Large landing craft "Alexander Shabalin".
9. Large landing craft "Alexander Otrakovsky".
10. Large landing craft "Saratov".

After conducting the exercises and returning to the base, almost half will be repaired

[Drew]

why repair so much and often? Is the resource depleted? Accessories junk?

[St Petrov]

because express trains go to Syria for the third year without stops.

One comes back - another goes to a meeting. Find out what they carry

spare parts and ammunition, something else!

[donavi49]

Spare parts, various equipment, various ammunition, single systems, small arms, various equipment.

The war consumes tons, tens, and during the most fierce battles, hundreds of tons of ammunition and elements per day that are not reproduced in Syria.

[gfs84]

Because there is a regulation that regulates when to carry out, factory, dock, inter-flight, supporting, capital, etc. repairs ...

After all, it doesn’t surprise you that you have to regularly drive a car for maintenance, and there still arise repairs, the same thing here ....

In my land view - let it be repaired. So, there is money for repairs, there are production facilities. It is much worse if the ships in need of repair were abandoned to rot near the wall. While the novoye gets into operation, let them serve.

[Gans1234]

This means that a significant component of the Navy is eliminated for the year.

[GUS]

It may sound corny, but the soul sings from such news. It does not matter that the ship at a respectable age has been repaired and thank God it will still serve, but after all, new ships are being built, in series, and aircraft, and rockets, and ... The soul is singing!

[ODERVIT]

And really, why is it towed?

[123dv]

There is a certain order in the fleet, however.
For those who understand, there is a clause at the end that after passing the course task ...
In simple words, the crew must pass on the right to drive. Like you all, when driving a car.

[sv68]

ODERVIT - surely the water is the same ship

[Evgen2x]

Yes) I'm also very interested, why is it towed? Under its own power and more profitable and safer, what kind of repair is this ?!

-Read carefully, the text says: "" Sick landing ship "BDK-64" of project 775 ... "- well, he has not been completely cured, he does not go ... :)

[Anchonsha]

Well, at least in this way we need to repay the debts to us, otherwise the little brothers got drunk on our help. Not special, but I think that towing the BDK will be cheaper than under its own power. Yes, and engine wear is not needed, because the distance to Sevastopol is decent

[Prager]

I hope that the Bulgarians carried out the repair efficiently ... but some strange repair, if the vessel needs to be towed to Sevastopol after the repair.

[Penelope]

The good news is that they learned to squeeze debts from former friends.

Why towed, and not under its own power?

I was also surprised at first. What kind of repairs, after which the ship is not under its own power. and it is being towed. And then I realized. It was tinted, patched up and that's enough. They did not tempt fate further. And that is not equal to an hour, these yesterday's "brothers", on orders from behind the hill, will throw out some kind of surprise, such as arrest or delay, as a sign of solidarity along the NATO line.

[Dimkin]

In any case, the news is positive, we are repairing the fleet - we are strengthening our security.

[1c-inform-city]

At one time, information flashed that Bulgaria would repair not one, but a whole series of ships. Interestingly, in the light of today's events, will it continue or not? And then after all with a black sheep, even a tuft of wool.

This sheep is too spoiled, because it has flown over to another camp. You need to do it yourself, and at the same time maintain your industry.

[Hell's Angel]

I wonder how many "bookmarks" Bulgarians have crammed at the request of our "probable friends"?

[RONIN-HS]

They didn't shove, they just turned away when the "probable friends" asked to be kept on board for a couple of nights. Although the BDK is essentially just a transport. The game is not worth the candle.

[Hell's Angel]

Armed military transport. And on the bookmark, you can track his movements in real time and "jerk" when necessary. Like a mine of the second world or dangerous cargo. ... she drowned. Remember?

[Alexey RA]

Well, here is the replenishment for the "Syrian Express". Otherwise, EMNIP, it's time for the three Baltic large landing ships to get up for repairs.

[pts-m]

Well, there is probably a “looker” over the ship, and from it the demand will be why, why, for what, if of course people are a patriot of their country.

[razved]

Something tells me that with the continuation of the current course of the Bulgarian government, there will be no more orders from us.

[TECHNOLOGY]

Renovated? Well, okay. What's the problem?
