National Interest about the parade in St. Petersburg: the Russian fleet is changing rapidly

8
The main naval parade in St. Petersburg has been the subject of close attention from the authoritative American publication National Interest.



According to the publication, at the parade, Russia demonstrated the full power of the rapidly changing composition of its navy.
The authors of the material noted the absence at the celebrations of the nuclear missile cruiser "Peter the Great" and the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov", but at the same time drew attention to the new ships of the Russian fleet participating in the parade.

So, American journalists noted the frigate Admiral Kasatonov with a displacement of 4,5 thousand tons, on board which there is an anti-submarine and anti-torpedo system “Package-NK, a new“ Gremyashchy ”corvette, which is an upgraded version of the“ Stergeting ”class corvettes and a diesel submarine Kronstadt of the Lada project.


The publication believes that the large-scale program of modernization of the Navy is focused on the creation of small and effective combat units, and such a pragmatic course is gradually changing the Soviet legacy of the Russian Navy.

In conclusion, the Americans conclude that in the past few decades, the Russian Navy has implemented many new projects that have made the Russian Navy a formidable force.

      Compared to previous years, they really demonstrated "power" - the rocket did not hit the audience, as in 2015, the bridge support was not demolished, as in the past - everything was done without tragedy ...

      Thank God, they took up the mind - instead of the giants who could only drown under the wild singing of the Varangian, small, effective, armed to the teeth armed steamers began to rivet - real fighting force!

        Right. Seaworthiness is lower than that of amers, but you can hide under the shore, and groan in caliber.
        The main thing is not to sail far from the shore.

        That's what Pushkova’s National Interest is so choked with enthusiasm for any reason.

          Why set sail from the shore? Indeed, the main task of the fleet is to defend this coast!

            Exactly! And rockets are already flying far.

              This makes sense - why launch a rocket with a range of 2000 km from a steamer ?! It's hard to argue something! But in any case, steamboats are needed to protect the coasts - how else to sink the landings?

                Right! Although such ships, the landings themselves are more likely to sink.
                Therefore, only a caliber from under the steep bank.
