The media once again declare the combat duty of the Rostov-on-Don submarine off the coast of Syria

Information Agency Interfax-AVN reports that the Russian submarine Rostov-on-Don arrived in the eastern Mediterranean and is located near the Syrian coast. In this case, "Interfax-AVN" refers to a source "familiar with the situation." The main defense department information about the arrival of "Rostov-on-Don" to the Syrian coast is not officially confirmed, but not refuted.

Correspondent news agency TASS asked the press secretary of the Russian president about the accuracy of statements in the press about the location of the submarine off the coast of Syria. Dmitry Peskov, obviously, making it clear that the question he was asked can hardly be called correct, he stated diplomatically:

It is necessary to ask the military, I do not have such information.

Earlier, the source of another media, RBC, stated that the Rostov-on-Don submarine had been in the eastern Mediterranean for several weeks and had time to strike the Caliber-NK complex with cruise missiles. Official confirmation of the fact that strikes with cruise missiles from the submarine on the positions of the militants in Syria were indeed inflicted, the main defense department of the country did not publish.

I just read this news on another resource. Well, now there is someone to drive Turkish boats from Moscow, and she can even get rackets. In general, you can make a submarine base in Syria, so that the whole Mediterranean Sea can sleep peacefully)))

[Observer2014]

Yes, with such a range of "calibers" you can safely be on duty in the Black Sea and overtake horror in the entire Mediterranean.

[TSOOBER]

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin about a missile strike on IS positions from a Rostov-on-Don submarine from the Mediterranean Sea.
“For the first time, Caliber cruise missiles were used from a Rostov-on-Don submarine from the Mediterranean,” RIA Novosti quoted Shoigu as saying.

The basing point of our Navy has already existed for a long time, but why is the submarine base there? So that all "partners" know what and how? To be blocked and covered in the first place? Objects of this scale just for show-off cannot be erected by us.

[g1v2]

And Novorossiysk out of repair. Well, according to Rostov it was already clear that he was hunting somewhere near Moscow. I think that Kulakov from Pakistan will do the same. Inquisitive, although the former anti-submarine, but the BPC is still better. Yes, and the Varangian with the destroyer, I think the same somewhere somewhere nearby relocated - for example, to Egypt. There was no information about Alrosa for a long time - they should have been taken out of the repair with modernization before the end of the year. Plus, they should soon relocate planes to Shairat. A hundred aircraft at 2 bases (I think there will be Persians and our turntables on tiyas) will cover our squadron from the Turks. I would have flown a pair of Il-38N to Khmeinim just in case, otherwise you never know what. Yes, and tests Grigorovich and Essen can finish at the World Cup. It’s better not to give the Turks a chance to play with muscles, and 2 Atlanta and a destroyer, covered by a PKK and a guard, plus a duel and 100 planes in Syria is a good argument. Plus a squadron in the World Cup and Tu22m in the Caucasus and aviation in the Crimea. I would not have climbed in their place then.

Soon the legend of a Russian submarine will appear in the world, which now and then pops up somewhere. Such a kind of Loch Ness monster. Those who saw her will be invited to talk shows, and their words will be reprinted by all the world media.

[silver_roman]

that’s how the Turks act under a strong tramadol, feeling the breath of the Yankees on the back of their head.
Now the main thing is the Janissary to remove from Iraq. The UN Security Council was convened, but there, I think, everything is already obvious.
And what will happen if Iraq, as he stated earlier, asks for help from us? What will we do with the Turks? After all, they practically occupied the northern territories of Iraq.

By the way, and you do not know how it is with the introduction of new ships? How are 11356 doing? They would be at the Black Sea Fleet by the way!
For a long time there were no articles on the introduction of new ships!

[Rokossovsky]

I’d also transfer a couple of Il-38Н to Khmeinim just in case

Why is there IL-38? If you work through the air, then A-50 will be more effective. But as with 38, the logical question arises - where to plant it? Khmeimim is jam-packed with equipment and can no longer cope, other bases, if the infa about their deployment is true, are simply not ready to accept such boards. Till...
And for PLO Ilyushin will be simply superfluous. It will be simpler, and cheaper, to do with the available deck-based helicopters and shipborne detection tools.

... now there is someone to drive Turkish boats away from Moscow, and she can even use rackets. In general, you can make a submarine base in Syria, so that the whole Mediterranean Sea can sleep peacefully)))

Why not? And the submarine will be there ... and the base of the submarine should have (less shoulder arrivals to refuel with everything you need ... and the threat of the straits will not be scary) ... And then what will become known to the adversary ... so there’s no getting away from it .. .with current means of air and space reconnaissance - this is not a problem to find out. We know where our sworn partners have the submarine base in the metropolis ... in the same Scotland, etc ... And they know what we know .. But the enemy does not take them away! And we need to have such bases at the forefront ... and in order to preserve them ... the military know that there are certain conditions of the troops when appropriate measures are taken .. to withdraw from the enemy’s attack our military equipment .... military equipment. ..
And the base of the submarine to be! And the submarine must also be there !!!

The normal state of affairs, there is a grouping off the coast of Syria, which is ready by order to fulfill the tasks for its intended purpose. Submarines are also included in its composition. It's time to put things in order.

[red_october]

There is no our submarine there. And it cannot be.
I hope everyone agrees with me.

The submarine is not there either ....

Why not? Why can't it be? I’m thinking differently, maybe, or maybe not ...

Totally agree. Especially if the Turks have something torpedoed and drowned.

daily calorie intake for submariners. And a selfie against the backdrop of the USS Carney.

[rotmistr60]

Where is the submarine knows its commander and headquarters of the Navy. And it’s really time for journalists to get out of the habit of climbing with not just wrong questions, but questions that affect national security. No one has yet canceled the state secret.

[Ishinomaki lie]

It would not be right if we had nothing under water there.

[Sultan Babai]

Very well. GRKR Moscow needs to be covered from under water, in addition, the equipment on it is modern, it will effectively track partners.

[Mercenary]

It doesn't matter where “Rostov-on-Don” is, the main thing is that everything is in order !!! (there was information that during the tests, something went wrong and it was towed to Kronstadt.

[SkiF_RnD]

"Caliber-NK" - this is the version of the complex for surface ships, is not it? How can he be on a diesel submarine?

[veksha50]

"submarine" Rostov-on-Don ", has been in the eastern Mediterranean for several weeks and managed to strike with cruise missiles of the Caliber-NK complex"...

The fact that she is there is good ...

But another question excites me: was she able to replenish and restore her ammunition during this time?

[Luga]

Our diesel-electric submarine off the coast of Syria, of course, is good and even very good. Don't mind But it seems to me that several air defense systems in the north-eastern outskirts of Syria are more relevant in the current situation. Today again the coalition "missed", women and children were covered "by accident" ...

[plut-k]

that besides Rostov-on-Don, we don’t have any other boats. The Mediterranean area has always been considered the most important strategic area. I don’t know if our boats are there or not, but I know what they should be.

[Y_w_p]

And what do knowledgeable people say - how, for example, can a submarine end up in the Mediterranean unnoticed? Through Suez, only in the surface. Yes, probably even the Soviet submarines never passed there? Via Gibraltar? There, how? Can I go underwater? So there the base is aglitskaya and probably there are no buoys hanging out or stations are even acoustic? Right? And what about the Black Sea squadron someone wrote? She is? Number of boats? Will the Turks have anything more? Or is it wrong?

[Black Colonel]

Soviet submarines passed through Gibraltar under the bottom of the "traders" and no one "saw" them.

[Petrov]

Yes, ask the Turks. Did the Bosphorus pass? No - check the Suez Canal. There are submarines everywhere in the water. There is an alternative underground (underwater) channel from Captain Nemo.
And if you fired a salvo, where to recharge? In Syria? Greece? Of Spain? Not too funny.
But no one will say exactly about the nuclear submarines or Pacific Fleet.
Sorry, it turned out almost plagiarism colleagues Y_w_p Honestly did not immediately read all the comments.
