Missile cruiser "Varyag" sent to carry out rotation to the coast of Syria

64
A detachment of Russian ships after the completion of the Indra-2015 Russian-Indian exercises visited the Indonesian port of Tanjung Priok. We are talking about such ships as the destroyer “Fast”, the tanker “Boris Butoma” and the rescue-tug vessel “Alatau”. From the message Press Service of the Pacific Fleet:

Pacific Ship Squad fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Alexander Yuldashev as part of the Bystry destroyer, the Boris Butoma tanker and the Alatau rescue tugboat, went to the Pacific Ocean, paid a business visit to the Indonesian port of Tanjung Priok, and today headed for his native coast.


Recall that the ships of the Pacific Fleet of Russia took part in joint exercises with Indian naval sailors, which took place from 6 to 12 December in the Indian Ocean. The flagship of the Pacific Fleet guards missile cruiser Varyag was also part of the detachment of ships.

Missile cruiser "Varyag" sent to carry out rotation to the coast of Syria


However, "Varyag" went not to the base of the Pacific Fleet, but to the port of Oman, where it replenished fresh water, and from where it will come out for shipment to the shores of Syria. On the Syrian coast, the missile cruiser Varyag will replace another Russian missile cruiser Moskva, which will return to the base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. There will be a rotation of warships, carrying on their part to cover the Hmeymim airbase.

Today it became known that the cruiser Varyag was awarded the Order of Nakhimov. RIA News cites a statement by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu:
In accordance with a presidential decree, the Varyag Guards missile cruiser of the 36 Division of surface ships of the Primorsk Flotilla of diverse forces of the Pacific Fleet was awarded the Order of Nakhimov. I congratulate, colleagues. Big serious reward - according to merit.

          The cruiser’s main weapon is the self-guided cruise missiles of the P-1000 Volcano complex. SM-248 missile launchers are located on the sides of the ship, they look very impressive and the Varyag are easy to distinguish among other ships. The cruisers of the 1164 project are also called “killer aircraft carriers” - in fact, for this they were created.

          The scheme of action of the missiles is impressive: after a salvo from one side, all eight missiles, after the wings are opened, form a single group, a “wolf pack” with a leader - a separate flying missile that directs the entire group to the target, adjusts the course for the rest of the missiles, resetting them with information. When approaching the target, the leading rocket selects the largest object (aircraft carrier), sends one of the missiles with the so-called "Special ammunition" and divides the remaining objects between the remaining missiles "flocks".

          All missiles include homing heads and strike targets. The mass of one rocket is almost five tons, the flight speed is about 2900 km / h. There are no chances to stay afloat after hitting such a rocket by an enemy ship. If they manage to bring down the leading rocket, another one, exactly the same, takes its place. The attack occurs without the participation of the ship’s crew according to the “shot - forgot” system. Interestingly, all this is technology of the early 70s.

          “Varangian” is a beautiful ship, a true flagship of the fleet.

        Most likely, Ustinov will replace Ustinov; he is just coming out of repairs in the coming year.

        By the way, they somehow stuttered about the birds, saying that a new missile system would be installed on Ustinovo, and they did not specify whether it was talking about anti-aircraft, or about the percussion. Nobody knows anything about this?

        If we take into account the history of the first Soviet aircraft carrier, that in 1993, under an agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the Varyag TAVKR under construction was transferred to Ukraine. In 1992, with 67% technical readiness, construction was suspended, the ship was mothballed and in April 1998 it was sold to the Chinese company Chong Lot Travel Agency Ltd for $ 20 million. On September 25, 2012, the ceremony of adopting the People’s Liberation Navy was held at the port of Dalian. Army of the PRC of the first aircraft carrier. The ship was named "Liaoning" ("遼寧")
        And already the missile cruiser "Chervona Ukraine" in November 1990 became part of the Pacific Fleet, and in 1996 it was renamed "Varyag".

    Here is our fleet base in Baltiysk at the entrance to the Kaliningrad Canal. Now cod has come ashore, smelt, herring will go from the sea to the canal, and in summer the zander will explode, and back in the fall all year round, and all this in a narrow section opposite main base. This is so about the fleet

      I know. It was. I caught fish. I rode on a boat. I sleep in a tent on the Baltic Spit every summer. There are also German bunkers sliding into the sea. Every 500 meters. And German hangars for hydro-planes. Wonderful places!

    Equipping a harbor tug with "Kolibras" will be enough for the Mediterranean Sea for some NATO members to spend their budget on diapers.

      He-he-he ... the Pella plant, which received an order for new RTOs with Caliber, is known for its harbor tugs. laughing

    No wonder your cruiser bears the name of the Russian hero Nakhimov. I wish you success and seven feet under the keel. [/ Quote]

    These gestures can not but rejoice Yes

    Not happy that KTOF was left without a flagship for a while. Now, when would the sister ship "Varyag" "Admiral Lazarev" come in handy .. I hope they will bring it to mind.

    Since when "Orlan" "Atlanta" sistership? Fundamentally different projects.

    Especially if you consider that initially "Varyag", which "Varyag" since 1996, came off the slipway of "Chervono Ukraine" from the stocks of "Chervono Ukraine"! call the boat, so it will float "from the current Mikolaev" .... forgive God, your people - they do not know what they are doing ..... take it away and "Red Crimea" what to call, maybe then it is like on the sea - okiyan finally poor fellow.


    My heart bleeds when you understand what fate awaits Lobov / Ukraine.
    The cruiser was built by the whole Union: the same way as the cruisers of project 1144, and BZHRK, Tu-160 and nuclear submarines were built, when 800 enterprises worked for each project !!! And in the end, the cruiser got 70% readiness to such "owners" who, not only can not finish building and sell / give to Russia, could not sell it even to China or India (well, at least give it to them, since Russia is your enemy) ... As a result, the cruiser will be cut on pins and needles, and the work of hundreds of enterprises and tens of thousands of people, albeit a non-existent country of the USSR, is down the drain !!!

    I served in Kamchatka. In the 91st year already on demobilization, and this handsome man (this one, and not just similar one) came to us and became the flagship (before that the flagship in Kamchatka was "Admiral Fokin"). True, then it was called Chervona Ukraine. It's good that they renamed it to Varyag. Seven feet under the keel...
