Source: Russian landing ships quickly loaded in the Crimea and approached the coast of Ukraine

February 23 2022

Large landing ships of the Russian navy have taken on board assault groups in Sevastopol, and are currently located in Karkinitsky Bay, opposite the Ukrainian city of Skadovsk (Kherson region). According to the Ukrainian mass media, ships with painted over numbers approached the country's maritime borders.

According to the source, the loading of the ships of the IMF of the Russian Federation was carried out very quickly - all work was completed within 10 hours.

Earlier, the Ukrainian media sounded the alarm that six large landing ships of the Black Sea Fleet, together with the ships of the Baltic Fleet, were conducting exercises near the northwestern part of the Crimean peninsula. A missile boat, a minesweeper, three rescue and tugboats and a coast guard corvette of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation also take part in the maneuvers.

Recall, February 20 in the waters of the Sea of Azov went squadron of the Russian Navy consisting of three large landing ships, anti-submarine and missile ships of small displacement, as well as several boats. Nothing is known about their whereabouts at the moment.

February 18 Western intelligence recorded the moment of loading Russian landing ships in the Novoozernoye camp in the west of Crimea.

One BDK can transport one reinforced company of marines, there are 6 of them, i.e. essentially a reinforced battalion. Question: what task can such a number of "troops" solve when landing on a defended coast?
The USSR had only one MP division, the rest were regiments and separate battalions, and there were 25 BDKs, and then they didn’t think about any landing operations with such a number. So the article is another stuffing and speculation. We do not have a full-fledged marine corps. And the events described above are regular exercises and demonstrations, and more is not needed yet.

  I, as one who served in the 810th Marine Corps of the Black Sea Fleet in the early 90s, can say that the Russian Marine Corps is now a pretty good thing))) Run-in in various parts of the world. So to say that the MP now does not represent any force can only be an ignorant person.
  And yes - the task of the MP is not to do something global, but to seize a bridgehead and hold it. Further forces will work

    In what parts of the world is the Marine Corps tested? On two new BDKs, and on the rest of the old ones? Without strike naval aviation? Without guaranteed isolation of the landing site? Without the possibility of full-fledged logistics and building up the forces of the landing force? We do not have an auxiliary and merchant fleet. Wake up - our Naval Aviation has long been dying. Naval missile-carrying aviation, the main supporting force of the landing, was disbanded under Makarov and under Serdyukov, and from the two regiments remaining by that time, only two living squadrons were assembled. There remained a couple of assault regiments, several fighter regiments, plus anti-submarine aviators with their eight modern machines.
    
    Further forces will work
    
    And what forces? How long to hold? The marines of the KTOF were sent to the territory of Belarus. The marines of the KSF and DCBF are unlikely to be blown off to the Black Sea.
    The command of the Marine Corps did not participate in exercises of this magnitude for about 30 years. Even during the war 080808, for a number of reasons, it was not possible to use the Marine Corps of the KChF.

      Since the age of 91, the Russian MP has been in greater military conflicts than the USSR MP.
      MP of Russia also fought in Chechnya where there is no sea, so what? Why can't she be sent to Belarus for exercises?)))
      MP of Russia during the war 080808 there was no point in using it - they managed without it anyway.
      the rest of your nonsense is even reluctant to comment))) the fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has fewer forces than the Armed Forces of the USSR is understandable. But for you, the Ukrainians - more than enough, even if the United States pisses)))

        Protected herself. In 1989-1990, the empty building of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan was guarded in Baku, they served at the checkpoint. When they tried to land in the suburbs of Baku, they got into the fire bag of the militants of the National Front. The Airborne Forces rescued, hitting the flank. More or less acted in Chechnya. But there, the reinforced battalions of the Marine Corps were completed by 70% with ordinary personnel from the crews of ships, from barbaza. They took the AK into their hands five days before being sent to Chechnya. High unjustified losses.
        
        Why can't she be sent to Belarus for exercises?)))
        
        The Japanese command did not give the commander of the KTOF and the military council a written commitment that they would not land troops on Sakhalin, on the Kuriles.

        Why were the VDVeshnikovs put on the BDK and taken to Poti? They are not trained to land from ships. Is it because the Black Sea brigade could not be brought to BG number 1 and arrive in Donuzlav?

        Shooter, don't talk about Baku. I did not see any attempts to land. Several ships Casp. The shipping companies tried to block the bay. Nothing came of it.
        The army entered the city from the north through microdistricts. There is now an area on January 20th.

        Ships of Naftogaz neutralized VDVeshniks. The sailors of the Caspians, to put it mildly, were confused. Before that, they were instructed by the command of the flotilla about "not to shoot." Here is a more or less complete description of the events. There is no description of the landing. Perhaps I saw it in the Naval Collection magazine.

        You don't have to believe fiction. I've been here and much is far-fetched. From the window of my house, both the bay and the border guards-sailors were perfectly visible. The KKF base is below us. Bailov is almost a Russian district of Baku. There are military units, a ship-repairing military plant and the headquarters of the Flotilla. A landslide occurred on the Bailovskaya bump. Several servicemen of the Flotilla's meteorological service and the navigation department were killed there. Our navigator worked there. Fortunately, the landslide did not occur on his shift.
        What happened on the streets of Baku in January 90 is known and documented. Already on January 19, the Popular Front took control of the situation. I know what was next to me. The Armenians, under the protection of the Popular Front, were in the Shafag cinema. Next to the Russian church. The entry of troops took place on the night of January 20th. If civilians had weapons, then homemade ones. I did not see any landing. Moreover, there could not have been any "fire bag". Civilian ships were removed from the Baku Bay after the introduction of troops. One of the ships was from our marine trust.
        Talk about things that cannot be verified. The link that you gave was written by an Armenian. That is, non-objective reading.
        I recommend Thomas de Waal "The Black Garden"

        The Marine Collection contains not only technical data, but also memoirs and memoirs. I once downloaded about 50 issues of a marine collection via torrent. I was looking for information on the performance characteristics of some ship. It seems the battleships of Borodino. That was a long time ago. Now I don't remember exactly.
        
        This is not research. There are many inaccuracies in the link you provided. Everyone sees something differently than others. Not in vain did the joke “lie like an eyewitness” appear. It's better to read the research. Thomas de Waal's book provoked ardent rejection in Armenia and Azerbaijan. Both sides are dissatisfied. Because the author wrote (or tried to write) objectively. It is available on the website of the Library of the President of Azerbaijan. But it is also easy to find on the Internet.
        
        And about the Armenian-Turkish (Azerbaijani) contradictions, a very good book by the American orientalist professor Justin McCarthy "Turks and Armenians. A Guide to the Armenian Question." They don't want to recognize it in Russia. She is clearly anti-Russian. But the actual material there is given well. By the way, the Armenians also anathematized her.

        Why were the VDVeshnikovs put on the BDK and taken to Poti? After all, they are not trained to land from ships.
        
        And why do MP sailors make parachute jumps, because they are not airborne?))) I myself jumped 15 times during my service. The command wanted so much - and so they decided - to let the special forces of the Airborne Forces into Poti. Although this special forces refers to the Airborne Forces as I do to space)))

        You shouldn't overdo it. There is the Combat Course of the Marine Corps, and not someone's opinion. The airborne troops landed, in view of the revealed unavailability of the Marine Corps brigade of the KChF to be brought to a high degree of readiness, and depart by the appointed time to land on the large landing craft.

        I answered you that the sailors of the Marine Corps also land from aircraft, although they are not in the Airborne Forces. So why can't the Airborne Forces land from ships if there are conditions for this? Moreover, special forces are a separate branch of the military, which previously had airborne designations and it can land even from ships, even from planes, even from the moon)))

        Not all sailors of the Marine Corps parachute from aircraft. Only DShB, scouts.
        VDVeshnikov are not trained to disembark from ships. They don't even fix the equipment properly.
        Why drag in special forces? Which solves narrow specialized tasks, and only in a short operational period.

I wrote to you that even MPs land from planes and helicopters, although they are not airborne. There are no prerogatives - as the command orders, it will be so - even motorized riflemen will land from ships in the second or third wave when necessary.

Weighted discussion.

The USSR had only one MP division, the rest were regiments and separate battalions, and there were 25 BDKs, and then they didn’t think about any landing operations with such a number.

Especially in a remote theater of operations.

It depends on which finger to compare with! ;) Yes, from the point of view of global operations with a projection on a distant shore - absolutely! But for current issues - 6 BDK, taking into account the impotence of the enemy and the shortest leverage - more than enough!

One BDK can carry one reinforced company of marines

Actually, one BDK takes on board up to 350 paratroopers with equipment, and this is already the BTG.

That's about it.

The combat strength of a battalion tactical group, created on the basis of the MPB (without the MPB) with tr, can include: motorized infantry companies - 3; tank companies - 1; anti-tank companies - 1; tanks - 14; BMP (BRM) - 42 (6); 120 mm SM - 6; PU ATGM "Dragon" - 27; ATGM M901 - 12; PU ATGM on BMP - 42.

for example, to divert forces to yourself, how much force do you need to stretch along the coast to repel the landing of even a battalion? Especially near the airfields of the Crimea?

Though not new, but in service. Total 13 BDK, plus landing craft. Of this number, three days ago, 3 BDK were in the Sea of Azov.

Right along the Tbilisi highway, a regiment from the guzdek entered, and at that time, through the 4th microdistrict, an infantry fighting vehicle landing of marines from the port was going.
