Navy Russia is unthinkable without the modern high-tech combat submarines.One of the brightest representatives of the family is considered to be nuclear submarines submarine "Severodvinsk" - the brainchild of "Sevmash".July 28, 2014 the submarine left the engineering company of the defensive complex of the city of Severodvinsk and went on combat duty in the White Sea.
Western press about the Russian submarine miracle
Russian submarine "Severodvinsk" in 2014, created a furor among Western military experts.English print edition The Sunday Times informs: "The West is afraid of the beast from the depths."According to journalists, the beast - is nothing but as a new Russian design - multi-purpose nuclear-powered submarine "Severodvinsk".Many experts interviewed by the publication, noted that after she appeared as part of the Navy, Russia broke the world leaders in underwater technology.Submarine "Severodvinsk" - is the main ship design development 885 "Ash", in service which has 8 universal launchers, can accommodate up to 32 cruise missiles.Depending on the category of missiles submarine "Severodvinsk" can destroy the surface and shore targets with the sighting range of a few tens of thousands of kilometers.In addition, ten submersibles will fight with the enemy ships.
story of one submarine
Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy has acquired at their disposal the latest nuclear submarine development of Generation IV.The first tab of a warship of this class was made on the machine-building enterprise "Sevmash" in Severodvinsk December 21, 1993.At that time the economic situation in the country is not allowed to start full-scale construction of military facilities.Some manufacturing processes due to poor funding had to stop.Ambitious design solutions for architecture, construction submarine require certain approvals and completions.In 2009 the project of sea typing pool "Malachite" the city of St. Petersburg has received final approval and was taken under the personal control of the third president of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.For five years, from 2009 to 2014, nuclear submarine "Severodvinsk" was held, and the entire production process cycle.In November 2013 the sea trials have been adopted by the State Commission of the Ministry of Defense, and June 17, 2014 on the combat submarine was solemnly hoisted the banner of St. Andrew.Naval Submarine Base 10th Division of the Northern Fleet Zaozersk city got a new multipurpose nuclear submarine.
Technological features underwater monster
main advantage of the Russian Premier League - a mixed construction system that reduces noise and makes the boat virtually invisible, and hence invulnerable.Naturally, all the tactical and technical characteristics of the project 885 are held in the strictest confidence.Citing the words of the source of the intelligence services, The Sunday Times said that in the first occurrence in the light of the latest submarine K 560 "Severodvinsk" concerned about the United States.This is not surprising.After all, thanks to a secret project, no one knows half of what could be on board the nuclear submarine "Severodvinsk".So far only the military experts can guess which area of the world ocean warship to enter combat duty.
Specifications nuclear submarine
What are the technical features of this large underwater ship?
submarine "Severodvinsk" - a military facility, which is armed with cruise missiles and strategic.The function of the combat arms - the defeat of aircraft carrier groups and submarines potential enemy.Some specifications:
- maximum length is 120 m;
- maximum width - 14 m;
- maximum height - 10 m;
- power nuclear reactor OK-650V is 190 MW;
- displacement - 13 800 tons;
- surface speed - 16 knots;
- diving speed - 31 knots;
- autonomy stay under water - 100 days;
- ship consists of 90 crew members.
maximum depth of the submarine when diving is 600 meters.
Combat "filling" submarine
On arms "Severodvinsk" is:
- 10 torpedo units (533 and 650 mm);
- 32 supersonic cruise anti-ship missiles P-800 "Onyx";
- strategic cruise missiles X-101;
- ground cruise missiles defeat ZM-14E.
Location torpedo - not in the bow of the boat, and for the central control compartment.With this modernization in the nose compartment of the ship located antenna sonar system "Ajax".
missile complex installation of P-800 "Onyx»
modern Russian submarines of the fourth generation are equipped with a powerful antiship missile system P-800 "Onyx".Developed this strike weapons on Reutov "NPO Machine Building", in the department of chief designer Efremov.For the first time RCC "Onyx" began to be developed in the 80s.In contrast to the Soviet predecessors, today's systems are universally valid widespread use: start is made with surface ships, coastal installations, submarines, as well as aircraft.In 1987 it was carried out throwing launch complex.After a public trial in 2002, a rocket launcher was adopted on combat weapons Russian Navy.
sonar system «Ajax»
the first time the Northern Fleet of Russia, thanks to a multi-purpose submarine "Severodvinsk", got their hands on an overall spherical sonar system "Ajax".The body design of the system is made of steel AK-32.This austenitic steel with a yield strength of 100 kg / mm².
advantages over competitors
technical superiority of this type of submarine is as follows:
- high level of automation;
- periscope telemetry MTC-115-2, which produces an overview of the surface when diving depth of 50 m;
- silent propeller shaft of the motor;
- unified system for the offensive attacks of sea and ground targets of the enemy;
- powerful balanced system of shock weapons;
- wide range of working depths.
All these design features leave their competitors far behind.This technical excellence is a great advantage, especially in combat.
price of the project and the prospects for development
officially declared value of the Russian Premier League is 47 billion rubles, which is 2 times higher than the cost of the project of nuclear submarine 955 "Borey".In the near future it is planned to release the six projects "Ash".Thus, we can conclude that the military doctrine of the Russian Federation aimed at the submarine fleet of multi-purpose nuclear submarines.
Test rescue capsule
first time in the history of the Russian submarine "Severodvinsk" was involved in the work of the quick test system rescue chamber.At a depth of 40 meters in the Bay of Zapadnaya Litsa nuclear submarine simulates a fixed position on the ground conditionally emergency submarine.According to the experts and the test team, which participated in the exercises for the evacuation of the crew, this camera would be a real boon in the rescue of the sailors of the submarine "Kursk".
future of the Russian submarine fleet
Statistical results of the international arms trade center say that in the oceans today is 450 combat submarines of various classes.The share of the Russian fleet accounts for 60 units, that is, in fact, every seventh boat - Russian.Among this number of military weapons 10 nuclear submarines of strategic purpose, and the rest are diesel-powered, multi-purpose and special-purpose boats.According to military experts, by 2020, all of the "old" submarine project 971 and 949 will be modernized and equipped with modern combat systems as a nuclear submarine "Severodvinsk".That, in principle, quite reasonably.Today the Russian submarine fleet received a fourth-generation nuclear boat.Unlike previous warships in that it has a large number of placement of weapons.All the best developments in the high-range rocket assembled in this underwater complex.The submarine "Severodvinsk" is equipped with modern electronic sensors, able to respond to any movement of enemy equipment for tens of thousands of kilometers.The main tactical task of "Severodvinsk" will escort and support strategic Navy warships.
The technical characteristics of nuclear submarine "Severodvinsk" is not inferior to the American and British standards, and in many ways superior to them.The boat is equipped with an advanced nuclear power plant complexes and the latest communication and navigation.
little history
In June 1933, the Soviet Union was formed Northern fleet.From that moment begins the history of the navy of the northern borders of the Russian Federation.With the May 1937 flotilla renamed the North Sea, the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy.Staff leadership battle formation is located in Severomorsk.The first commander of the fleet has been appointed Vice-Admiral Konstantin Dushenov.On June 24, 2011 the commander of Russia's Northern Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Korolev appointed.Today military base north sea borders comprise missile and torpedo submarines, anti-submarine aircraft and aircraft carriers.The flagship of the North Sea Fleet missile cruiser is considered to be "Peter the Great".The main base of the fleet are in Severomorsk, Zaozersk, Hajiyev and the Arctic.
