Lost cruiser "Moskva" the Russian fleet will be able to compensate for the almost new "Ukraine"

81

The Russian Navy has lost the Moskva Guards missile cruiser, which sank while being towed after sustaining hull damage. Earlier, a fire broke out on the ship, followed by the detonation of ammunition and the Moskva could not maintain stability in the conditions of rough seas.

Meanwhile, Kyiv has an almost new cruiser "Ukraine", which has been moored for about three decades at the berth of the State Enterprise "Nikolaev Shipbuilding Plant". The readiness of the ship is at the level of 95 percent. It has never been used. Its capture and subsequent modernization, following the example of the Admiral Ushakov, makes practical sense, because there are not so many ships of the 1st rank in the Russian fleet.




Previously, the Ukrainian authorities considered different options for using the cruiser. Thus, Valery Ivashchenko, Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries, noted that the department may decide to demilitarize the ship, but this is economically unprofitable, since the sale of its parts will not reimburse the costs of dismantling and disposal. In general, Kyiv has not yet come to a final decision about the future of the cruiser.

Russia, conducting a special operation in Ukraine, after the occupation of Nikolaev, will be able to compensate for the loss of the "Moscow" with an almost new Ukrainian warship and put it into the service of the Navy.

      Brad of course! Reimburse what you have long been going to throw away! "Moscow - Slava" is almost 40 years old! Yes, the ship went through a small MOT, in fact, only restoring seaworthiness, otherwise it was in a state of landing stage! And we must understand that, for example, "Kuzya" is ours - even landing stages are no longer! I remember him in 92 - on the battlefield of Murmansk - it was already a sad sight then! Half of the cabins are abandoned! Yes, he was "reanimated" in the full sense of the word - he was pulled out of the "other world", but excuse me, when a patient is pulled out of such a state, can he really be a good soldier?

      Of course, a separate song - what did Moscow do abeam Odessa, given that it was armed only with heavy anti-ship missiles, which are not needed there now?! And yes, the ship had an old, but powerful radar, although not the most modern but quite powerful air defense!
      And it is completely clear that if it was a sabotage or a mine explosion, and these are the most likely events, then extremely serious questions arise for the management of the Navy!
      If this is an anti-ship missile attack, which is hard to believe, because a single-pair launch of Neptune could break through air defense under very strange circumstances that raise another bunch of questions! Yes, targeting Neptune anti-ship missiles, it’s clear what could be done by target designation from UAVs and AWACS of NATO countries that are constantly spinning there ... But to break through air defense with two missiles ?!
      In general, there are a lot of questions, and first of all, to the command of the Navy! And the big question is how long will it last? Why did the beginning of the NWO go like this? Why did the barracks remain? What kind of giveaways? If you started a war, then fight! Why is gas transit going on? Why are government quarters intact in Kuev? And most importantly, why are all the roads, bridges, crossings, interchanges, tunnels, railway stations intact throughout Western Durkain?! Yes, even oil storage facilities and refineries, together with the tank farm and - have been destroyed today by only 50-60%? What is it like? Questions - just darkness! With the lives of our soldiers, all sorts of scum like Medinsky and Piskov are making a career for themselves ?! Decide someone's interests?

        Moscow - 82 years of release! No one will answer questions..! No admirals .. The Navy, which we always have, I must admit, was weak .. Only in the time of Ushakov could something else)) Who will answer for the sailors, who seem to have died under 400 people ..?! None! And what kind of flagship is this, which from one mine (as a version!) Goes to the bottom ..? It turns out that either the crew was completely stupid or the ship was just beautiful scrap metal ...

              Who counted the dead? Khokhols?! Where did you get these numbers from? There are only a little over 500 crew! And the ship fought for survivability for a day if it were not for the storm ... Even if 2 missiles hit the ship, which is extremely difficult to believe, they could kill 30-40 people! They were on schedule, I hope! Well, let the detonation of the warhead and the fire with the full connivance of the captain - another 10-20 people could die! Those. the estimate of the dead - a maximum of 50 people!
              But I doubt the anti-ship missiles - not the Neptune missile that would easily penetrate the air defense of a group of ships, although, of course, they have been there for the second month, and it is clear that the target designation was external, and there could certainly have been a bunch of false targets such as UAVs and launching all sorts of shit from them for distraction...
              Mine?! Maybe, but I doubt it...
              But I can easily believe in sabotage or negligence that led to a fire! Although this is even much worse than a mine / anti-ship missiles !!!

          Yes, special ... And he served in the Navy and worked at a research institute that made equipment for the Navy, so he was in Tbilisi (Kuznetsov) and Riga (Varyag), even saw the Ulyanovsk corps - but our research institute managed to lay only 800 km of cables in Riga, equipment, after the collapse of the USSR, he did not begin to do, although the crests offered something there, even then having the Chinese vaid ;-) I saw Kuzya already in a rather miserable state at the end of 1992 already ...
          The Varyag, firstly, was in a significantly better condition than Ukraine is now, he was not equipped, he was a skeleton. And the Chinese had one goal of buying it - reverse engineering! Learn and copy! Moreover, I saw Liaoning (Varyag) and in Dalyan (the former port of Dalniy), though already from afar and no longer having the slightest relation to either the Navy or the fleet ... a game of fate ... And in the research institute where I worked, Chinese admirals came, they wanted to buy equipment for the ship's electronic warfare, but then EBN did not give ... at the behest, do we know whose ?!

        I agree, there may be questions about the state of the ship itself and the coherence of the team. With the "arrival" of missiles is too bold, this is not something that the Americans would hide if it were so. You may not like them, but as an opponent, they are smart, and try not to lie unnecessarily.

        It would have been different if it had been so - everywhere there would be "success" of Ukrainian warriors, all sorts of Scholts, Borelis, and others like them would go for a week - with something like the words "see? They do well without us, let's still" help " ... And the Ukrainian "Ukraine", I'm afraid, is not subject to completion, its 95%, readiness for 91-92 years, is at best 50 percent now. Of course, the fact that it is located in almost fresh, not salty water slows down the aging of the hull, but not so completely. With cable systems, they will have to be built anew, the propulsion system, just the same. Missile weapons are already outdated, different radar systems, this is the last century, such a ship needs AFAR. So if Ukraine is a "replacement", then just like "Moscow" is exclusively temporary.

I read somewhere unverified information that all 1164 air defenses never worked !!!! Well, in Moscow, which has not undergone modernization, and even more so, the same plan, 40-year-old Inquisitive and Ladny, the state of the Baltic frigates is unknown, fearless so for 30 years they did not receive missile weapons. Klimov writes that the air defense of the newest corvettes is useless, that it has cut and kickbacks ..... Moscow could well have been blown up by a mine because in the Navy they write 4-5 combat-ready minesweepers for 6 seas and oceans .... The fleet is totally uncombatable, huge funds are squandered to no avail on super-expensive, meaningless ships, for parades and show-offs Moscow Kuzya and UDC, but they don’t make the proper number of minesweepers (you need 70-120 yesterday) they don’t provide combat compliance of the SSBNs, the admirals simply didn’t give a damn about all the SSBNs for the sake of show-offs and parades ?, okay parquet bureaucrats with big stars, but you must at least objectively know your capabilities and not send a cruiser to certain death in areas with mines without minesweepers ...... you need to create a commission of the Moscow Region, the State Duma Committee of the Accounts Chamber and not only remove, but put the guilty admirals in the total collapse of the Navy and the ultra-high costs of it, in tactical and strategic stupidity

WELL, I would even arrange a dressing for this and send the guilty to the camps, if one of the conscripts also died.

    The future of our Navy is modern highly maneuverable corvettes and frigates with the most modern electronic filling and powerful hypersonic weapons, maybe it will even come to the construction of destroyers, but the old rusty ones, and as we have all seen, our Navy certainly does not need very defenseless cruisers, as it is costly and no longer effective enough.

      Tell me, what is the fundamental difference between an old cruiser and a modern frigate and corvette? 2 missiles were enough for Moscow. The corvette will burn out from 1.
      If the sea-based air defense system is weak, and the fleet fights with aircraft, then all these corvettes, frigates, destroyers and cruisers will die ingloriously. No matter how many you build. Their destiny then is to hit Third World countries with Calibers that have neither anti-ship missiles nor aviation.

        The difference is in the cost / effectiveness ratio, the same frigate can be equipped with modern anti-aircraft missiles and modern electronic warfare systems, plus the same Zircons and Calibers, plus anti-submarine systems, and if you calculate the cost of repairs and deep modernization of the same cruiser, it becomes clear that these same money you can build some modern frigates or corvettes.

        firstly, all these corvettes and frigates are really totally meaningless in closed sea areas (Baltic Black Caspian and Japanese) where there are coastal anti-ship missiles and coastal aviation that makes any surface ship a suicide bomber, but they are very necessary in the Barents Sea and in Kamchatka where ours is bad without them SSBNs, by the way, there is no air supremacy of enemy aircraft and there are no coastal missiles, and we will drown the AUG ourselves ...... secondly, the cruiser and destroyer are outdated in their concept, the task is too large, the tasks are too narrow, how will those that are, then do not build them anymore, but sell Kuzya to India to China, they have hundreds of frigates and have tasks for AB, and use this money to stamp minesweepers and submarines

      agree completely! Budyonny was also a good commander, but if he had led our army with a saber against tanks, we would not have won World War II. cruisers are a relic of the past, cruisers are an artillery shell against armor, this is the time to aim ten times and aim and reload and aim again. even a fast cruiser is an elephant that you have to be blind to miss. and the cruiser is not for inland seas, but for ocean expanses, for single autonomous raids, this is not an aircraft carrier that needs to be guarded by a whole fleet. But a cruiser, according to modern realities, is only to force banana republics to democracy, and if the natives have some kind of mobile missile system lying around, then the cruiser only has to plow sand from the horizon on the beach with the main caliber. and missiles are easier to place on light, nimble and cheap corvettes and frigates. if we recall the last wars, then the perfect and formidable weapon at the beginning of the war, by the end, was significantly simplified and modified - war is a costly business. although we have a defensive doctrine, but now, we had to attack, so can we immediately start with a modern and effective one?

    There may be problems with this. The hull can and will get undamaged, which is not a fact, but there may be problems with weapons. If I'm not mistaken, the "main caliber" Volcanoes were discontinued under Yeltsin. Yes, the complex is probably already decently outdated. Converting to Caliber is not easy. The launchers are placed below deck, but here the placement is different, in inclined lump installations above the deck. In general, specialists need to look and think seriously. Is the game worth the candle. I believe the modernization of the ships of this project is not planned, the sisterships in the north and east were simply repaired.

    Velikoukry have already sunk one ship - "Saiga Dachny". They will also flood UkraDina so that Russia does not get it. Yes, and for sure there the equipment for so many years is not only outdated, but also stolen. So, you probably shouldn't count on it.

    what kind of nonsense this author writes ... It's not like cruisers there - gas stations "live" rarely remain. And that Nikolaev cruiser, in the event of an attack on Nikolaev, will be burned and flooded three times.

    The death of the Moscow missile system looks like a betrayal, and what kind of nonsense is the detonation of ammunition on board? Again invented stories justifying someone's military actions. If this is a detonator explosion, then this is sabotage and nothing more. In general, I do not expect anything good from our leadership, except for betrayal.

      detonation is generally such a dynamic process, not necessarily associated specifically with a detonator - an element of a projectile-shot. and its purpose is to explode, but at the right time and in the right place, but detonators are a capricious thing. Japanese shells filled with shimoza (trinitrophenol) were more dangerous for their shooters than for the enemy. The detonator is designed so that it is safe in storage, it rises to the combat platoon during the shot, and is triggered by contact or by time. But he can get on a combat platoon not when fired, but, for example, when falling. but the shooter won't know it. and the operation will occur at the moment of the shot and will kill the shooter and damage the gun and the ship. ak in the Black Sea is now a storm! That is, it may not be a betrayal or sloppiness, but a combination of circumstances, an accident. a projectile-charge during a storm tore off the mounts, a blow and a badabum!
      ps: explosives generally tend to decompose over time. In my memory, there was an urgent case during the autumn check with firing from a 120mm howitzer. the shells were stored in boxes in the open air, the charges became damp, a slow shot occurred, after the descent, the detonator went off, and the main propellant charge did not explode, but began to burn slowly. it looks like a bug. the shooter opened the shutter, the projectile came out of the breech and then exploded, 5 200x ...

      40-year-old ammunition, for example, a volcano, is prone to all sorts of problems and detonation ... in one form or another, it means they should have been disposed of on time, but the death of the cruiser is at least the sloppiness of the admirals, as a maximum a crime of treason, I suppose, I hope the investigators will find out everything and punish specific guilty hereditary parquet admirals

    Ukraine has long been scrap metal. No need to fantasize.
    Since WWII, it has become clear that large ships in the Baltic and Black Seas have nothing to do during hostilities. They are easily destroyed by aircraft and coastal missile systems.

    Not even funny! How can it be almost new - an ancient ship that has been hanging and rotting at the quay wall for 30 years? Yes, the Admiral Lazorev TARK is in better condition than this junk. I hope the lesson with "Moskva" has gone to good use and we will not build ships of the 1st rank without heavy armor. Modern shipbuilding is a mistake, air defense cannot replace armor ...

    La russia spende per le armi sei volte meno che europa e stati uniti insieme. Quindi per ogni arma che viene costruita in russia ne nascono sei in occidente. inoltre in occidente la spesa militare incide molto meno che in russia sui bilanci complessivi degli stati e la vita ė migliore infatti i ricconi russi hanno barche, ville e palazzi in occidente e non in siberia.

    Russia spends six times less on weapons than Europe and the United States combined. Therefore, for every weapon that is built in Russia, six are born in the West. in addition, in the West, military spending affects the general budgets of states much less than in Russia, and in fact, Russian heroes have boats, villas and palaces in the West, and not in Siberia.

    The cruiser that still needs to be captured is the skin of an unkilled bear. Of course, he will be blown up to zakhat.
    As for the loss of "Moscow", I will give the opinion of Sivkov, respected by me:

    “The loss is very tangible, I want to say right away without equivocation. In fact, our fleet has lost a third of its potential in the far sea zone. The Black Sea Fleet had four modern ships capable of operating in this far zone, having powerful modern weapons: three frigates and the cruiser Moskva. Despite the fact that it was built in 1982, it is already 40 years old, it has powerful weapons that meet modern requirements. The combat range is about a thousand kilometers. He has a powerful Fort air defense system, the world's first multi-channel system, the Americans have never had anything like this. He has 64 of these missiles on board. And, of course, this is a serious loss for our fleet, a serious one. The reasons must be dealt with, the perpetrators must be punished, this is unambiguous, ”the captain urged.
    Nothing can replace the cruiser, since Turkey has blocked the straits for the passage of ships, a military analyst noted.
    “You can no longer replace him. Turkey, taking into account the current situation, blocked the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, and secondly, in other theaters of military operations, such ships are also needed. In the Barents Sea, in the zone of the Northern Fleet, there is a much more dangerous enemy. There is a whole 62 US fleet. And to have such a cruiser - in my opinion, "Marshal Ustinov" is located there - is a must for us. In the Pacific, the picture is the same. We can’t take them from there,” Sivkov concluded.

    I remember a muddy story with the death of the battleship "Empress Maria" - remember "Kortik"?
    From myself I will say - so we will not win much.
    While we are in Ukraine, with our best troops and weapons, we are grinding the "scrap" of Western armies, our main enemy will not even be touched by us. He is calmly completing the development of modern weapons, preparing for a real war and expanding NATO.

        We are all humans. An old military sailor in a war, when every ship is needed, still "doesn't turn his tongue" to talk about the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet in the past tense. The head knows, but the soul has not yet accepted

    The main thing is to get Ukraine safe and sound. And modernization can be carried out in Nikolaev, anyway, it will be necessary to load the industry of Ukraine (or whatever it will be called) with orders.

      So we expect to complete the campaign, restore what was destroyed and start production in the former Ukraine. And why do we think that the States will let us do it. Why do they need it?
      They still have trump cards up their sleeves. They did not use Poland. They will impose on us a war for Kaliningrad with NATO, and then - for the islands in the Far East with Japan. Or both at the same time.
      At the same time, unlike us, as now, they will not waste their resources. They will earn.
      To stop their advance, we need to influence them.

        They are also testing in Ukraine the height of our "barrier" to the use of nuclear weapons in response to the creation of a "threat to the very existence of the state" (total sanctions, transport blockade, theft of all assets, NATO's participation in the war against us, etc.), the value of which can be determined them only experimentally - step by step.
        In other words, the absence of appropriate warnings from us allows them to calmly move on to the next, more serious step.
        It turns out that by the lack of an appropriate reaction, we involuntarily encourage their further offensive

          We already say the same thing in Estonia. That the Russian army turned out to be a zilch, where are those weapons from the parades? They say there are even no camouflage nets for artillery and tanks .... so the Estonians will no longer be afraid. Finns and Swedes gathered in NATO, they know nothing will happen to them for this .... some kind of scribe

    Meanwhile, Kyiv has an almost new cruiser "Ukraine", which has been moored for about three decades at the berth of the State Enterprise "Nikolaev Shipbuilding Plant". The readiness of the ship is at the level of 95 percent.

    Thirty years ago it was.
    Now it's a floating, rusting hull with rotten communications, worthless in every way..

    The article is simply amazing. When will we have insight? We lost the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet .... Yes, and ... With him. So what?
    We lost one, we'll get another tomorrow. Yeah, Mriya has already been taken. And the cruiser will hand over the APU to us on a silver platter and with coloring flags.
    Maybe, instead of bravura speeches, we will begin to fight bungling and slovenliness, but not like Ilf and Petrov, but for real. Our people are persistent, but you can’t ride out in their shoes all your life. How many boys died, how many more will die?

    You may not be aware, but Ukraine recently decided to send this ship for scrap. There, for almost 40 years, everything has rusted and rotted. It will be cheaper to build a new one from scratch. Moreover, there is a concept of reducing ships that do not carry carrier-based aircraft. A great example of price / quality is the URO frigates of the US Navy. A large vessel, but without air defense cover, is a great target for the enemy ...

    Almost everyone here is talking about the fact that this ship is rotten, outdated, costly for - not repairs, but modernization in general for the latest weapons, etc. etc. Or maybe it’s easier to listen later (if there are such assessments at all) of specialists, but you can’t pretend to be experts in everything that’s boom-boom! It will be necessary to do it on a completely different base - they will do it and none of you will be asked for advice.
