In the West, noted the success of the Russian Navy, but doubt their durability

104
Western analysts have noted that the Russian Federation has become much more active in using its fleet, while they are wondering how long the country will be able to develop this success, reports Look with reference to the USNI News portal.



Earlier, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Viktor Chirkov stated that “in different parts of the World Ocean about 60 ships and submarines of the Navy carry out tasks fleet Russia. "

Erik Wertheim, independent analyst and author of the directory on the fleets of the world, noting the “surprising change” of the Russian fleet over the past few years, said that “such a breakthrough demanded enormous sacrifices from Russia” because “the more the fleet is used, the more experience it gains, the stronger costs of its maintenance increase ».

The publication notes that “the majority of Russian ships were built during the Cold War,” and now they are outdated and in need of repair. According to the author, the proof of this is the fact of launching missile attacks on Syria by new ships of the Caspian flotilla, and not by the old missile carriers in the Mediterranean Sea.

In addition, according to the author, over the past 20 years in Russia "the supply chain, logistics, and maintenance of equipment have atrophied."

Do not forget the publication to mention the difficulties in shipbuilding, which Russia began to experience after the break in relations with Ukraine.

But the success of the submarine fleet, the author is beyond doubt. “While the surface fleet was experiencing problems, the development of nuclear and conventional submarines did not weaken,” he writes, pointing to statements by the command of the US Navy, which periodically expresses concern about the activity of Russian submarines.

“Militarily, Russia is far from being transparent, therefore it is difficult to make assessments,” writes the publication. “Analysts do not rule out that Russia's policy on this issue is aimed not so much at intimidating potential opponents as at working with potential customers.”

However, "the question of how long the Russian fleet will show steady growth remains open," concludes USNI News.

      “While the surface fleet was experiencing problems, the development of nuclear and conventional submarines did not weaken”
      And it will not weaken! The Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet) of Russia will receive the second strategic nuclear submarine of Project 955 (code "Borey") "Vladimir Monomakh" in 2016, Deputy Commander of the Pacific Fleet Vice Admiral Andrey Ryabukhin told reporters on Tuesday.

        Well, their situation with the fleet is about the same. Most of the ships were built during the Cold War and are in need of repair. With the Ohio submarines, it is not at all clear what will happen, there is a prospect that they will stop at the pier and will not sail anywhere.

        Airplanes old B-1, B-2, B-52. There is nothing to replace again.
        In general, this is understandable - after the collapse of the USSR, the Americans relaxed. It seems that there is no one to fight anymore, there are missiles (by the way, the missiles are also old, this is Yars new to us), no one is going to attack them, the masters of the world. But today it turned out that everything is old.

              And not only this is the case. They always try their shoals and try on failures on us !!! They won't wait. They believed it once. The second will definitely not be. They begin to rock the situation the same way as always! "We are barbarians and we can do nothing." We have eyes! Some have what is good, and some have their hands from where they grow.

              I will agree, but there is a nuance - "Ohio" is unattainable for us. So, whether they are rusty or not, they will not seem like a little bit. Although ... again, a nuance - what is the state of their ballistic missiles? It's not new either.

                  And how are you going to "reach" them? Just as we can strike with our ballistic missiles almost from the pier, so the Americans do not need to go to our shores for a long time. They have two bases - boats of one patrol in the area between the US coast and Hawaii, boats of the second - in the area of ​​Bermuda. What can we send there? Several submarines? It's not even a needle in a haystack. And you need to understand that the hydrography of the patrolling areas (where Ohio will indeed patrol them, in which case) Americans will know better than their sixth finger, i.e. any outsider will be identified and killed very quickly.

              Not quite.

              The US Department of Defense under the Treaty on Measures to Further Reduce and Limit Strategic Offensive Arms (the new START) by February 5, 2018 will drastically reduce the number of nuclear weapons in submarines and strategic bombers.
              50 active ICBMs of Minuteman III will be removed from combat duty, which will reduce the number of deployed ICBMs to 400 units. At the same time, 50 free silo launchers are supposed to be kept in working condition. Together with four test launchers, the Pentagon will have 54 of them in reserve. As for the missiles themselves, they will be sent to the warehouse,
              The United States will also reduce the number of deployed ballistic missiles in submarines (SLBMs) ​​by 40 units - to 240. Of the 14 nuclear submarines (SSBNs) in the USA, 336 launchers for SLBM launches remain 280. At the same time, 56 launchers on SSBN will be refitted so that they cannot be used to launch ballistic missiles. As a result, the United States will have 12 SSBNs in operation with 20 SLBMs on each submarine.

              No need for containers :)) You see, a ship that is not a warship but carries weapons (we don’t take hand-held weapons for self-defense from pirates) is, by maritime law, pirated and subject to immediate exterminatus. So no one sticks any calibers anywhere. It is just not necessary.

                Even here I read went. Well, there are no such restrictions, especially in case of war. Here's what they say about piracy.
                Under international law, piracy is an international crime of unlawful seizure, robbery or sinking of merchant or civilian ships committed on the high seas. An attack during the war by ships, submarines and military aircraft on merchant ships of neutral countries is equivalent to piracy. Pirate ships, aircraft and their crews should not be protected by any state. Regardless of the flag, pirate ships can be hijacked by ships or aircraft that are in the service of a country and are authorized for this purpose.(C)

      Analysts, noting the "obsolescence" of the Russian fleet, are unable to assess the logistics problems. It is one thing to shoot from RTOs and missile boats from the shallow and friendly Caspian Sea, where one night is crossing from Makhachkala. Quite different is the Mediterranean Sea, where rockets for reloading need to be dragged past Turkey or around. You can, of course, ask Dolgoruky not for the test site, but for Syria from the north. But I think everyone around will be very surprised.

        From the Mediterranean Sea along the "coast" only "Rostov-on-Don" can "work" with rockets, and if a person considers himself an expert he should know about it. I do not think that from a submarine it is possible to "bullet" missiles through a torpedo tube as they say "as from a machine gun.

      The author, of course, talked, but it can be understood: THE WHOLE Western world does not know the pace of rearmament of the Armed Forces, which Russia demonstrates today, although our military budget is ten times smaller than the total military budgets of the collective West.
      They can only boast of the destroyer leader Sumvolt "(this is the only ship designed in the 21st century) and then we still need to see how it will withstand two pairs of Calibers - I have a big doubt that he will not sink (and the goal is good, big ), however, I think that shells stuffed with shimosa, fired from the guns of the cruisers Ikoma or Kasuga in 1906, will gladly penetrate its interdeck space.

      Well, the author can agree in most positions. There are practically no new surface ships of the far sea zone and ocean class. Old ships are morally obsolete and physically. The speed of construction of the marine zone leaves much to be desired, and when ships of large displacement appear. Things are less or less better with the submarine fleet, although without cover, the surface fleet also remains vulnerable. Of course, the author is right about the logistics component, there are no naval bases abroad, there are no modern transport ships.

      Why? Oil $ 40, per barrel. The country's GDP is declining. The forecasts are not comforting.
      PPP of Russia:
      Russia's GDP for 2013 in US dollars = $ 3492 billion
      Russia's GDP for 2014 in US dollars = $ 3570 billion
      Russia's GDP for 2015 in US dollars = $ 3398 billion

      PPP is purchasing power parity. See the difference? I want to clarify my position right away. If there are people on the forum who want the prosperity of Russia and strengthen the strength of the armed forces, I’m in the forefront! But the article is honest. The successes in strengthening the armed forces are significant and timely. However, they a really heavy burden will lie on the shoulders of the country. This does not mean that we need to reduce efforts to improve the army. This means that we need reforms in the economy like air. To increase labor productivity, real fight against corruption, diversification of production, modernization of industry.

        Considering that the basis of our defense industry is state-owned, and that of Americans is private, then you need to consider the cost and not the cost. We have a margin of money to issue at cost.
        In the price of fuel, we also have about 3/4 of this tax, only we have oil falling and gasoline increasing.
        So it’s from taxes - therefore, swimming and flying is just as inexpensive.
        We bomb mainly with old stocks - disposal in factories would be more expensive.
        All that we are fighting (except for TU22 M, 95,160) - we also sell (with more modest characteristics), you must admit - the advertising is powerful and I am sure that the profile plants are inundated with orders, I cannot at all.
        Therefore, the main problem is to quickly increase the production of military equipment, but this, in turn, helps to increase GDP and improve unemployment rates.

    Airplanes old B-1, B-2, B-52. There is nothing to replace again.
    In general, this is understandable - after the collapse of the USSR, the Americans relaxed.

    The rearmament program was adopted. They began to actively exploit the "Soviet legacy" based on it. But it, through the fault of Rogozin, was torn off and shifted about 2-3 years to the right. Therefore, most likely in the next year or two, the intensity of campaigns will be reduced, or the repair of some ships will be postponed. Then everything will be restored, and with the repair of the Eagles and the commissioning of three 11356s it may even increase.
    The bottom has now been reached with the nuclear submarines, only further up. Now in our sea at the same time from zero to one missile carrier and one, sometimes two, torpedo nuclear submarines are simultaneously located. With the launch of new nuclear submarines and the repair of the old ones, in about five years, it may be at sea at the same time - two missile carriers, two torpedo tubes and one with cruise missiles.

    At the same time, the publication notes that “most Russian ships were built during the Cold War”

    and what about the new fleet of the navy? The bulk of the American Navy was built before the 90s and in the early 90s.

    “While the surface fleet was experiencing problems, the development of nuclear and conventional submarines did not weaken”

    The problem of the surface fleet is that the production of engines and the backbone of the shipyards where the surface fleet was built for the USSR ended up outside Russia in the "independent countries" after the collapse of the USSR. There were no such problems with the submarine fleet.

    - in the beginning there was their "hee-hee" about only 300-400 km at the "Caliber". Well, yes, the export version ...
    - after a salvo from different points they wondered

    - And now they are trying to find out how long the country can develop success?
    The answers, in due time, were given by German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. Read, gentlemen ignoramuses, read .... hi

    The basis of the combat structure of the Russian surface fleet is ships with gas turbine power plants of Ukrainian production. Import substitution in this area has become a guarantee of national security - without repair of turbines, the fleet will not be able to carry out its tasks in an increasingly conflicting world.
    The Novik industrial group has mastered the repair of ship gas turbine engines

    I read komenty and was horrified, a few sensible ones and all the rest was cheers, we will throw our caps. Our fleet, alas, is in a deplorable state. Local successes, unfortunately, are not indicators. The rearmament program has been thwarted clean and what is now standing at the shipyards without power plants will become obsolete by the time it is put into operation. And in general, the whole situation reminds me of the 40th year with the slogans of the Red Army all stronger and so on.

      Yes, especially with surface ships of rank 1-2 there are problems, but in general, everything is not so sad. In the ranks of the three newest "Boreas" with gifts (this is already a serious application, it is not easy to find these ships) there are 7-8 nuclear submarines 971 of the project - these are very good and powerful ships. There is also a couple 671rtmk, "loaves" 949A, lonely and beautiful "ash" finally. Again, the new "calibrated" corvettes and Warsaw women should also be considered. In general, there is something to bite, the main thing is to increase the pace.

    The activity of the army and navy will be long enough, and ordinary people will pay for it. Population of Russia. Many of them have not even seen the sea (and will not see ... if they only get a ticket to Crimea from the plant). Shapkozakidatelstvo and exclamations of hurray-depressing. All samples of modern weapons in Russia are either piece copies or paper projects. You can call the analyst "nonsense" as much as you like, but you can't argue with facts
