Admiral: Russian Black Sea Fleet can be used to blockade the coast of Syria

Ships of the Black Sea fleet can be used to block the Syrian coast and, it is possible, to launch artillery strikes, reports RIA News opinion of the head of the Duma defense committee, former commander of the Black Sea Fleet, admiral Vladimir Komoyedov.

“As to the large-scale use of the Black Sea Fleet in this operation, I think this will not happen, but from the point of view of the blockade of the coast, I think that is fine. Artillery strikes are not excluded, the ships are ready for this, but there is no point in this yet - the terrorists are in the depths, there is no artillery to get there. ”- said the agency Komoyedov.

According to him, "the size of the fleet group involved in the operation will depend on the intensity of the hostilities." “At the moment, the forces of the Mediterranean Flotilla are enough for effective actions in this sector,” the admiral noted.

He added that "support vessels will certainly be involved in operations against ISIS, which will deliver certain material and technical means and ammunition."

A little off topic, aviation. In the middle of last week, "liberal experts" said that Russia could come into conflict with NATO, by restricting the Turkish air force's ability to operate.

I would like the new ships to stand off the coast of Syria, like frigates 11356, and ideally 22350. And strategic planning, which did not take into account the disruption of orders for engines, and with the Mistrals, so we still have to send a fleet of Soviet production.

Quite possibly. Now in our region
GRKR "Moscow" left on September 24, the Bosphorus passed on September 25

TFR "Sharp-witted" left Sevastopol on September 18

TFR "Ladny" and RCA "R-109" left on September 23, passed the Bosphorus on September 24

Perhaps they were reinforced by the Samum RKVP pr. 1239 and MRK Mirage pr. 1234

The small missile ship "Mirage" and the missile hovercraft "Samum" on Friday, October 2, docked from the berth of the Navy base in Sevastopol and departed from the water area of ​​the city.

The Syrian Navy in itself does not represent any serious force and is composed of:
-2 TFR pr. 159АE transferred to 1969 and 1976 yy .. without rocket armament, of which at least one Al Hirasa 2-508 is not on the move

-10-20 missile boats of 205 Ave. (5-8 РКА Ave. 205У and 5-12 РКА Ave 205ЭР),

In 1985-1987. Syria has been transferred to 3 DEPL Ave 633, however, at present they are not on the move and stand on the base in Tartus, waiting for the butchering.

[Roman 1977]

Quote: katalonec2014

Yes, especially not borzeze!

Theoretically, I emphasize this, in theory, Iran may be of some help:
- 3 DEPL Ave 877

- 1 "destroyer" (actually a light frigate) "Jamaran". Based on the British frigate Vosper Mk5. Displacement - 1420 tons. Length - 94,5 m, width - 11,1 m, draft - 3,25 m. Power plant - 2 gas turbines (20000 hp), 4 diesel generators (4x550 kV). Speed ​​- 28 knots. Crew - 120-140 people. Armament: 4x1 C-802 or 4 HY-2 launchers, 1x4 SM-1 air defense missile systems, 1 76-mm Fajr-27 (OTO Melara) gun, 1x1 40-mm Fath-40 gun, 2x1 20-mm Oerlikon GAM- B01, 2x3 324 mm TA. Runway for Bell 214ASW helicopter

- 3 lightweight frigate Vosper Mk.5 English built 1967-1972. Displacement-1250 / 1540 t. For the Iranian Navy. Length - 94,5 m, width - 11,07 m, draft - 3,25 m. EI - two-shaft, 2 GTU Rolls-Royce Olympus TM-3A (46000 hp), 2 diesel Paxman Ventura. (3800 hp). Speed ​​- 39 knots Navigation range - 5000 / 15. Crew - 125-146 people. Arms: 4X1 PU control systems C-802 1996 98-mm machine gun, 1x114 8-mm TA.

- 2 patrol ships of the Bayandor-American type built in the 60s. Upgraded in Iran. They were equipped with 2x2 anti-ship missiles "Noor" or "Ghader", 76-mm AU Fajr-27, 1 x 2 40-mm Fath-40, 2 x 1 20-mm AU, a major overhaul of the main power plant of the ship was carried out, etc. .d.
Why theoretically? Because everything will depend on the position of Egypt, whether it will let the Iranian ships pass through the Suez Canal, since such light ships are unlikely to go around Africa. And the experience of such long voyages of the Iranian sailors is not available. For the same reason, I do not take into account the numerous Iranian light RCA and mini-PL. By their own turn, they will not reach, or carry on transport ships or by land, through Iraq and the Syrian territories controlled by ISIS ...

[Peterhof 73]

I agree with you in the formulation "purely theoretically". I’m just sure that no (I emphasize any) help from the cunning Persians should not be expected. As well as from the Chinese, Romanians, Bulgarians, Aleuts, etc. They got in like that. We will make up our own minds. By the way, the 6th Fleet of the US Navy is far from being a funny flotilla. + To you for a visual demonstration.

[skeket]

Of course, one Black Sea Fleet will not survive if the Allies roll all over (this is just the answer for those cormorants who are skeptical about the priority strengthening of the Black Sea Fleet)
If you smell fried, you will have to transfer Tu-22, X-22 to the suspension and into the air in Crimea ...

The second patrol of the 61st project has no strike weapons at all, only old anti-aircraft missiles and one twin AK-726. More or less a missile boat and a KVP. At least there are anti-missile systems with a range of up to 150 km .... That's all the striking power of our group. I have already written about the closing of the sky. Moscow cannot be in all places at once, and penetration into Syrian airspace can come from anywhere. And 4 SU-30s won't make the weather ...

Ships of the Black Sea Fleet can be used to block the Syrian coast

but only as part of the Mediterranean flotilla

And the Mediterranean OS includes ships and submarines of KSF, DKBF, and Pacific Fleet sends its units to it.
So, the Black Sea Fleet is not alone on watch. It is supported by other fleets.
This is from a military point of view. But this is not the main thing.

If there is a clash with enemy aircraft or fleet, then completely different forces will begin to work there. Plus electronic warfare is involved there should be robust, in theory.
We all understand that the ships there are not for defense against a really serious enemy.
They are there to indicate the presence and definition of the borders of the territory we control.
Our fleet is touched - then the war will go by completely different means.
