5-i Opsk in photos. Part two

The daily life of the 5th squadron was very diverse. Combat patrolling, tracking the enemy, but most of all was routine work - refueling on the go, servicing crews of nuclear submarines and submarines, transitions to anchorage sites, friendly calls at foreign ports. flag demonstrations. In this part of the photo gallery there will be a story about the logistics of the 5th squadron. On the Black Sea navy in those days there was a powerful combination of auxiliary vessels consisting of two brigades (9th and 16th brigades of the Navy UVF). The Black Sea tankers, sea tugs, killers and emergency rescue vessels also performed combat service as part of the 5th OPEsk.

The rescue tug SB-15 pr. 733С accepts fuel from KKC pr. 1833 "Berezina"

Good article, great photos. to the author +

Two of our TAKRs look beautiful and nostalgic

It's a pity, of course, “Novorossiysk” was ruined and “Admiral Gorshkov” is no longer ours, although the service in the form of “Vikramaditya” is definitely better than the fate of three younger brothers ...

It's a pity, of course, “Novorossiysk” was ruined and “Admiral Gorshkov” is no longer ours, although the service in the form of “Vikramaditya” is definitely better than the fate of three younger brothers ...

"Minsk" and "Kiev" were relatively lucky, thanks to the Chinese, now they are symbols for the education of the sea spirit of the Chinese youth. The Americans retained their Iowa-class battleships, and the AV Enterprise (Initiative) was sent on pins and needles with all the honors thanking them for 50 years of service. The plan is to have a new Enterprise. If we compare the attitude of the United States and Russia to their navies, it becomes clear that the Americans respect themselves and consider themselves a great maritime power, China is just taking this path, and Russia is still considered land-based, since it treats its fleet so frivolously. This will be a lesson, I hope we learned it.

[73bor]

What are you talking about, in my opinion the Americans have scrapped several times more than ours, and our attitude to the fleet is, "God forbid, a little bit of the history of a fleet like ours, so let the Chinese be proud of their Soviet" Kiev " nothing worthwhile has been built yet! "

Let's start in order, otherwise you have cereal in your head. 1) No matter how many Yankees were sent to the needles, they saved all the iconic ships (and not only ships) as museums. 2) The history of our Fleet in terms of eventfulness does not really yield to even the oldest fleets in the world. And in heroism, no one can compare with our sailors. 3) What the Trotskyists did with our country and the Navy in the 90s cannot be justified; there really is nothing to be proud of. The process continues to this day, though its energy has significantly decreased. But the authorities are the same.

[St_tov]

Regarding the history of our Fleet - is it impossible to elaborate in more detail? And then there is a place to be because he only spent 150 years stupidly transferring considerable resources, with efficiency close to zero (Marinescu as an argument does not roll).

All sold for nails ...
Moreover, those who made the decisions and still live on black caviar, name is all known;)
As Chubais said there: "We destroyed communism ... at any cost"
They destroyed the country, not even just our past, how much they defiled our future ... And all of us and our descendants will be forced to recreate all this, which is correct. And for liberal-minded youth and sympathizers, I want to remind you that these pro-American comrades have taken away from them not a small piece of the "quality" of life right now;) dropping the economy, destroying industry and assets (including the military, and oh, how expensive), that led to a drop in the standard of living in the 90s and now it takes away resources for restoration ... But it is impossible not to restore it, then there will be no state, then a colony. And who wants to go to the colony, I ask for permanent residence in ... and no need to cry;)
But march and bring flowers to the bust of Yeltsin and Gorbachev ... Oh;) it is too early ... But he will deliver the GDP to him, as Rusnano gave Chubais, he smiled so merrily that he worked with Tsrushniki in the 90s;) ayyay;)
Somehow the puzzles do not converge ... both ours and yours ... But that’s why, at the expense and at the expense of the state (that is, you and I), these treacherous personalities should flourish. Every citizen produces gross product, and if Putin believes that these individuals like Chubais are worthy, then let him pay them with his salary or in free swimming;) and do not hand out positions in state-owned companies!

Classic twitching. In the 80s "did not build" of course not he. I have another question - why didn't he build anything in the 90s? And even more - not only did he not build, but he also threw in the trash something for which in general something could be built?

The homeless 5 squadron is a testament to the political weakness of the Soviet Union in the world. The world hitherto did not know such that the whole squadron did not have its base. This is nonsense. We have wasted billions of dollars on supporting regimes in Libya and Syria and have not been able to achieve the establishment of a normal basing system. Therefore, I do not mind Gaddafi and Assad. We had a normal base only in Kamrani. 5 squadron - death squad. In case of war, the life of the squadron would be no more than half an hour.

[ametist415]

Your comment is contrary to generally accepted statements. How so? We were feared and respected, we will drown any US destroyer with the help of a cheap RTO, and you write that the life of the squadron is less than an hour if there is a war.

The commander of any ship must take into account all the dangerous factors, including unaccounted for, even if the gum on your oars is floating in your area, suddenly underwater saboteurs. Naturally they will boil. If the commander of Project 1234 is arrogant as you are, then he might accidentally forget that in wartime all these RTOs are drowned by aviation, you can’t hide behind the islands even in the winter, and in winter in the Mediterranean Sea in the Aegean there are often storms and decent, even AV pumps . At MRCs in a storm, it’s generally p..ts, and figs where you shoot, even if you solved the problem with target designation.

[Serg65]

Quote: ametist415

First you need to understand why the 5-th OpEsk was created. The 5-I as well as the 7-I, 8-I, 10-I, 17-I squadrons were created mainly for a preemptive strike on the AUG of the US Navy from the tracking mode. All ships that took part in tracking aircraft carriers recorded not only every take-off of aircraft, but also movements on the flight deck. Reconnaissance ships with their radio-electronic means scanned everything that happened on an aircraft carrier. The Soviet MRA was constantly hanging in the air. Therefore, the IRAs did not hobble on their own, but were included in the KUGi squadron, which gave the strike groups the opportunity to launch a more powerful salvo of anti-ship missiles in the first strike.

Not only the commander, but the entire crew knew very well that the combat survivability of the Gadflies was very low. They also understood very well that their success and their life depended on how in time they had time to destroy (damage) a floating airfield before the planes took off from it.

A small extract from the magazine BS 41 BrRKA of the Black Sea Fleet ...
30 October 1973 of the year KUG of the MRK “Thunderstorm” commander cap 3 rank Danilchenko V.N. "Breeze" commander cap 3 rank Zavialov B.I. KUG commander cap 2 rank Prutskov D.G. PRTB-13 cap commander 2 rank Krasnichenko V.P. went to the Mediterranean Sea to solve the problems of military service. During the solution of the tasks of 9-11 on October, the exercise "Launching a missile strike of an RTGs of an MRK on an AUG from a position of tracking according to own means" was conducted, the actual designation forces at the AVU theater D. Kennedy ”EM URN“ Connaughtham ”,“ Richard E. Burke ”, TFR“ Vrilend ”,“ Van Wurs ”. Ships covered 2700 miles
On July 11 KUG was tasked with reconnaissance, tracking, and launching a conventional missile strike at Forrestol AVU with the passage of the 22 degree meridian. The problem was successfully solved on July 12. From 19 to 24 on July, the ships made a business call at the port of Tartus SAR. We returned to the base of 8 on August. Ships have traveled 4100 miles.
On June 2 on June 1976, the KUG of the MRK “Thunderstorm” entered combat service commander captain L-Grechukhin MD, “Zarnitsa” commander cap 3 rank Parygin AN, commander KUG cap 2 rank Prutskov D.G. . and PRTB-13 cap commander 2 rank Krasnichenko V.P. Since June 19, weapons have been tracked for AVU “America.” KR URO “Yarnel”, FR “Vodzh” in the 100 area miles X-east of the island of Crete for 3 days. Participation in the exercises "Crimea-76". Business call at the port of Tartus on the roads of the island of Ruad. Return to the base of 12 July. Ships have traveled 3880 miles.
Over the course of 2 days, Zarnitsa missile systems performed the KNS task, while the Breeze missile system was tasked with tracking weapons for the AVU America, the KRA URO Long Beach and the integrated naval supply ship of the US Navy 100 miles north of Beirut Libya. Business call at the port of Tartus SAR, Return to the 1 base in August. Ships traveled 6796 miles ....
If you notice. RTOs operated in the area of. Crete based on Tartus!

[ametist415]

This is all great, but I think the Americans also had the same magazines and they also followed the entire Mediterranean squadron. I agree with the opinion of Comrade Silhouette "Homeless 5 Squadron". If we imagine that a war began between the fleets of the USA and the USSR in that area, then we would lose, their fleet is more powerful and, above all, the anti-aircraft protection is better. Perhaps we were able to hit AB and even drown him, but there is no 100% guarantee. And the fact that, for example, aircraft carrier pr. 1143 would have been drowned - the probability is high. I generally keep quiet about RTOs, they are suicide bombers, the Americans know that these ships are almost useless, that's why they don't build them.
To travel, for example, from Sevastopol to Middle-earth and perform the tasks well, you need normal multi-purpose destroyers of the Arly Berg level with a VPU. In short, it was necessary to build normal bases with dry docks in advance, so that later it would become possible to build and maintain a large series of destroyers of the same type and a normal AB with nuclear power plants. Stalin was going to build an ocean-going aircraft carrier fleet, but the Trotskyists, led by Khryushov, closed this program. It is sad that even admirals still think that in a "cheap" way, building only non-aircraft carriers of the project 1143 with different types of ships and MRKs without normal bases, we will destroy the US fleet without losses.

[max2215]

I generally keep quiet about RTOs, they are suicide bombers, Americans know that these ships are almost useless, because they don’t build them

Stupidity, excuse me. An MRC is needed so that at time X it’s possible to fire a salvo, then nobody will need it (if the reconnaissance has passed ... it’s an hour X, sorry this is not the fault of the ship), and the more the missile launcher manages to fire a volley, the opponent has less chances, no matter how clever he is. Even in the seaman, (in Kamchatka) we were told that the entire fleet of Avchinskaya Bay is an active target, so that the submarines, at least from the base, give a salvo A, you say, combat survivability - who was the first to shoot back and live ......

And the main goal of this is to give time for the return volley of ICBMs, RSD, RMD from the European part of the country ... the secondary task is to sell your life expensively ...
