Heroes of the week: pskr "don" and pskr "emerald. "Amethyst" at the post. Russia sent a warship to defend against the Ukrainian Navy Patrol ship brilliant

While the fierce liberal howl about the arrest of three ships of the Ukrainian Navy fills the network and is broadcast from TV channels, it becomes more and more difficult to watch. Especially if you are a more or less educated person, for whom the concepts of "coast guard", "Black Sea Fleet", etc. - not an empty phrase, but quite specific things. It's no secret that this one was used by everyone in their favor (except for Russia, though).

For the president of the Square it is a chance to cancel the elections or at least postpone them, for the West - to prolong the next package of sanctions, for the homegrown opposition - another reason to throw mud at the Motherland, while using the same methodology: "Putin is losing his rating", and get its 30 pieces of silver from Western owners.

At the very beginning, the information space of Ukraine was flooded with a trend about an attempt to “heroically break through the blockade of Azov”. Which is quite understandable. More recently, Roman Mokryak, the commander of "Berdyansk", one of the artillery armored pelvis of the "Gyurza-M" type, talked about "packs of wolves", which supposedly could destroy the enemy with their numbers. Isn't he a hero? Ukrainian "naval commanders", it is true, have already poked holes for orders. But…

Later it turned out that after the very first kill shots at Berdyansk, Mokryak immediately stopped, surrendered and even began to ask the "damned Muscovites" for help for the three wounded. Apparently, assuming such a possibility from the very beginning and expecting that the "heroes of Ukraine" they praised in practice would turn out to be wet hens, soon the "unwilling" changed the trend to Yaroslavna's crying over tiny ships attacked by the "Russian fleet".

"Lads gutar, sho and bulo"

And the thicker the layer of mournful snot became, the more impressive the enemy ships of the Russians became. When their scale was comparable to that of a dreadnought, it seemed unfair to the author that the saga of the Nibelungs was already being forged about the "Gyurza-M" tubs, and there was not a word about the true heroes. At the same time, "heroes" are not an exaggeration, since Kerch crabs, about which pseudo-ecologists shouted so much, would now be feasted on by Ukrainian sailors, if not for the professionalism of our guys. But their nerves could well have given way, because, judging by the detailed information of the FSB of Russia (posted on the service's website), the Ukrainian Navy vessels tested the strength of the character of our sailors for several hours in a row.

So. First, the Russian fleet, which allegedly unleashed all its might on the "unfortunate boats" that went with uncovered weapons, like the lambs of God, at first did not appear at all for the historic battle. The small anti-submarine ship "Suzdalets", which, ironically, left the stocks of the "Leninskaya Kuznitsa" (now Poroshenko owns the plant) in Kiev in 1983, i.e. from the stocks of the same plant as the boats of the "Gyurza-M" type, was involved at the very end of the epic "battle". And only in order to observe the actions of the already stopped Nikopol.

The main characters in this drama were PSKR "Don" and PSKR "Izumrud", which belong to the Coast Guard of the Border Guard Service, i.e. to the FSB, not the navy. They were helped by boats of the Sobol and Mongoose types. But the first violin was played, of course, by the PSKR.

Let's start with the veteran, i.e. border patrol ship "Don". "Don" was launched from the stocks of the Yaroslavl shipyard more than 20 years ago, in August 1996, and was built according to the 745P project. This project was a continuation of a series of sea tugs of the 745 project back in the 70s and was modernized specifically for the needs of the Border Troops of the KGB of the USSR. On the basis of this project, however, both rescue ships and experimental ships were built. In total, about 20 ships were produced under the 745P project. All of them went to sea at two shipyards - Yaroslavl and Zelenodolsk. Their operation showed that the project was successful. The ships had good seaworthiness, moreover, they could work in difficult ice conditions. The author thinks this is very ironic, because it was “Don” who made the bulk on the tug of “Yana Kapu”. Even now, the product package of the Zelenodolsk plant includes a descendant of the 745th series - the 745MB sea tug.

The ship "Don" has the following factory performance characteristics:

Full displacement 1620 tons;

Length 56.5 m, width 12.6 m, draft 4.6 m;
- full speed 13 knots;
- cruising range at full speed 6700 miles, economical speed - 8000 miles;
- autonomy from 30 to 40 days;
- power plant: 2x1500 hp, electric motors PG-950, 2 diesel generators 25DV-2 1100 kW each, 2 diesel generators 300 kW each, 2 diesel generators 100 kW each;
- armament consists of 30-mm six-barreled automatic naval artillery mounts AK-306 (they can be easily seen right in front of the wheelhouse).

Also "Don" is equipped with a navigation radar station of the same name. The crew is 47 people, including 6 officers and 4 warrant officers.

The construction of the Don, founded on December 18, 1991, was extremely difficult. The political turmoil, which paranoidly reasoned against the interests of the power, no longer saw the point in a reliable military shield, and therefore the coast guard ships seemed unnecessary. But in spite of the nonsense of the liberals of the 90s, the "Don" was nevertheless completed. And the difficult guard service began.

First, "Don" erased the tranquility of our shores in the Caspian Sea (up to October 2013). After the ship was transferred to the Black Sea, based in Novorossiysk, therefore, in the author's native bay, the silhouette of the "Don" was, so to speak, his own. After the return of the Crimea, "Don" settled in the Sevastopol Bay.

The second hero of the tragicomedy (although Poroshenko can turn everything into a tragedy) with the breakthrough of Ukrainians in Azov, PSKR "Izumrud", unlike his friend, looks like a modern muscular athlete. "Izumrud" was built according to project 22460, "Hunter" type.

This project under the code "Rubin" (the name is consonant with the name of the lead ship of the series) was developed in the Northern Design Bureau. The ships of this project have increased seaworthiness and are capable of operating at sea waves up to 6 points (wave height reaches 5-6 meters). And again, ironically, even during the design, the bureau introduced a number of features - it provides for the possibility of using ships of this type in various regions of the world, both in equatorial waters and in the north, in conditions of thin and broken ice. But most importantly, even in the project, the possibility of fulfilling the assigned task was laid down even after a collision with an intruding vessel, i.e. use of bulk.

PSKR "Izumrud", part of the series, which received the unofficial name "Precious stones" ("Ruby", "Diamond", "Amethyst", "Sapphire", etc.), was laid on September 21, 2012 at the shipyard "Almaz " in St. Petersburg. On August 14, 2013, the ship with serial number 504 was launched, and on June 27, 2014, the flag was raised on the ship, and the Emerald was handed over to the FSB. In July of the same year, PSKR "Izumrud" began the transition along inland waterways to the Black Sea, where it became part of the Black Sea-Azov border department of the Coast Guard of the FSB of Russia in Crimea, based on Balaklava.

The ship "Izumrud" has the following factory performance characteristics:

Displacement of about 670 tons;
- length 62.5 m, width 11 m, draft 2.6-3.3 m;
- full speed 25 knots;
- cruising range at an economical speed of 8 knots - 3500 miles;
- autonomy up to 30 days;
- power plant: diesel engines with a capacity of 11520 kW (in this case, a real epic happened to the project - at first it was planned to install 4 German MTU 16V4000M73L, but in 2015 Germany broke the contract, and it was decided to supply Chinese engines to the ships);
- armament consists of a 30-mm automatic artillery mount AK-630M, two 12.7-mm heavy machine guns "Kord" or 14.5-mm MTPU.

Also, the designer assumed the use of eight Igla MANPADS as anti-aircraft weapons. Aircraft weapons are also provided. To do this, in the stern there is a take-off and landing pad for a Ka-226 light helicopter or for a UAV. One way or another, in addition to the "Emerald" at the moment, 12 more ships of this project have been built, not counting those laid down. All of them were built at two shipyards - Almaz and Vostochnaya Verf JSC.

But, alas, in the end, there is only an overflow of empty populism in the infoset. The author, of course, was not surprised by the schadenfreude of the home-grown oppositionists in view of the raised information wave. I was not surprised by the schadenfreude about the damage allegedly received by our ships, which is quite real, tk. bulk is an extremely dangerous and difficult technique. And it is not at all surprising the criticism of the sailors, erupting from the throats of the couch lampoons who have swum in fat, who are starting to rock from the sight of the ship.

What is really offensive is that the authorities did not announce an award corresponding to merit to the captains and crews of the ships that participated in the operation to prevent illegal border crossings. The author hopes that this is a consequence of the specifics of the Coast Guard service related to the FSB. After all, it will be a shame if the real work of people useful for the state is not noted, and the next package of awards goes to some bohemian clown who comes out of a binge solely in order not to breathe fumes on the president.

The Project 22460 Amethyst patrol ship, serial number 505, is the fifth ship being built at the Almaz Shipbuilding Company for the Coast Guard of the Frontier Service of the FSB of Russia. The lead ship is PSKr, the second (July 2012), the third (September 2012), the fourth (June 2014).

PSKr project 22460 are designed to protect the state border, territorial waters, the continental shelf, for emergency rescue operations, as well as for environmental control and elimination of the consequences of natural disasters. Along with the protection of the border, the task of ships of this class increasingly includes operations to combat terrorism and maritime piracy.

One of the main features of the ships of this project is the presence on board of a landing area for a light helicopter, as well as the presence in the stern of the ship of an inclined slip, on which a high-speed rigid-inflatable boat is installed, designed, for example, for the rapid delivery of an inspection party to the ship. - the intruder.

Ships of project 22460 can operate in young and broken ice up to 20 centimeters thick.

The main characteristics of the project 22460 ship: Standard displacement 630 tons. The maximum length is 62.5 meters, the maximum width is 12 meters. Maximum speed up to 30 knots, cruising 21 knots, economic 12 knots. Cruising range 3500 miles at 12 knots. The endurance of sailing is 60 days. The crew is 24 people.

Engines: Diesel engines.

Armament:

Aviation group: 1 Ka-226 helicopter or Gorizont G-Air S-100 UAV, folding deck shelter hangar.

On March 24, 2014, it was delivered at the quay wall of the plant, where further stages of completion took place.

October 03, 2014 transferred to the Border Service of the FSB of Russia a year earlier than the deadline established by the contract. On the same day, a flag-raising ceremony was held on the ship. He was admitted to the Black Sea - Azov Border Administration of the SS FSB of the Russian Federation and will serve to protect the sea borders in the Crimea region.

Russian Institute of Radio Navigation and Time (OJSC "RIRV") of the receiving-indication radio navigator "INTEGRATION" on board the ship.

According to a message dated May 28, 2015, in the near future, the Crimean border guards. According to a report dated June 30 from the Crimean border guards. The base of the ship's service is located in Balaklava near Sevastopol. After acceptance tests in a month, he will go to the protection of the state border. December 15 was to protect the drilling rigs of "Chernomorneftegaz" on the shelf of the Black Sea from the ships of the border service of Ukraine.

Board number: 50 5 (from 2014), 055 (from 2015), 355 (from 2016).

On April 4, 2017, on the abeam of Cape Tarkhankut of the Crimean Peninsula, there was a Ukrainian fishing vessel "Rybak Kherson", which plunged 0.5 miles into the territorial waters of the Russian Federation during the fishing of aquatic biological resources.

On May 03, 2018, the Ukrainian fishing vessel YAMK-0041 (home port - the city of Ochakov, Ukraine) for illegal fishing west of Cape Tarkhankut in the Black Sea.

Patrol ship "Emerald"

The Coast Guard of the Border Directorate (BO PU) of the FSB of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Crimea received the first patrol ship of the second rank "Izumrud", said the head of the Crimean border department Gennady Medvedev at a ceremonial meeting.

"We are meeting a new border patrol ship" Izumrud ", which will become part of the border department of the FSB in the Republic of Crimea"

Prior to that, the Crimean border guards had only boats of the "Mongoose", "Sobol" and "Mars" projects. According to the maritime tradition, the ship was greeted by presenting the crew with a loaf and a roast pig.

"We are meeting a new border patrol ship" Izumrud ", which will become part of the border department of the FSB in the Republic of Crimea. We have been waiting for it for a long time," said G. Medvedev. The ship "Izumrud", according to G. Medvedev, is high-speed, it contains all the achievements of science and technology. Displacement of the ship is 700 tons. The crew is about 20 people.

"The ship is able to carry out all the tasks facing the coast guard of the border service of the FSB of Russia. It will protect the state border, the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone of the continental shelf. ability ", - said G. Medvedev.

According to him, the Crimean border administration needs about ten more ships of various classes. "This year, at least 50% of what we are entitled to will be provided with," - said G. Medvedev.

The "Izumrud" border patrol ship of the second rank was manufactured at the Almaz shipyard in St. Petersburg. Before its acceptance from the Crimea, a crew was specially seconded. The ship will be assigned to Balaklava (near Sevastopol), RIA Novosti reported.

The ship will serve on the high seas. According to him, the program to provide the Crimean border service with a ship-and-boat staff is being carried out properly. If boats were received last year, this year patrol ships began to arrive. "This year we will receive several more ships that will become part of the border department," Medvedev said.

Bookmark PSKr "Izumrud" project 22460, serial number 504, took place on September 21, 2012. On August 13, 2013, the ship was removed from the new boathouse and moved to the slipway-deck of the Floating Dock - 455. On August 14, she was launched and moored to the quay wall of the plant, where further stages of completion will take place. The flag was raised on June 27, 2014.

01 May 2015 arrived at the home port of Balaklava and will serve on the high seas.

Border patrol ship of the 2nd rank "Amethyst" of the Frontier Directorate of the FSB of Russia in the Republic of Crimea.

The order to enter the service in this area of ​​the Black Sea "Amethyst" received after an incident that occurred the day before.

The commander of the ship contacted the Tavrida jack-up rig by radio with a request to provide information on the composition of the crew and the purpose of finding the Russian drilling rig in the area. The jack-up rig captain, realizing that the Ukrainian side does not have the authority to request this kind, did not provide information.

Then the Ukrainian ship headed for the facilities of Chernomorneftegaz located at the Golitsyn gas condensate field, where it took photographs and videos.

After receiving information about the actions of the Ukrainian warship, the leadership of the Frontier Directorate of the FSB of Russia for the Republic of Crimea decided to take measures to protect the interests of Russia.

Arriving at the place of duty, the patrol ship Amethyst discovered two ships of the Ukrainian Navy in the immediate vicinity of the Russian drilling platform.

"Amethyst" began combat patrols of the area in order to prevent possible provocations in the area of ​​operation of "Chornomorskneftegaz".

The newest ship of the "Rubin" project

The patrol patrol ship of the territorial sea of ​​the second rank "Amethyst" was built at the shipyards of JSC "Shipbuilding firm" Almaz "in St. Petersburg. The "Amethyst" was transferred to the border service of the FSB of the Russian Federation in October 2014, a year earlier than the deadline established by the contract. After completing the tests, the ship began combat service in the Black Sea. The patrol is based in Balaklava.

"Amethyst" refers to the ships of the project 22460 "Rubin". It is designed to protect the state border, territorial waters, the continental shelf, to carry out emergency rescue operations, as well as to carry out environmental control and eliminate the consequences of natural disasters. Along with protecting the border, the task of ships of this class may include operations to combat terrorism and sea piracy.

The lead ship of the Rubin project entered service in 2010. He took part in ensuring the safety of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

In total, it is planned to build 30 ships of this type. Currently, 6 ships of Project 22460 are in combat service, the newest of which is the Amethyst. Five more ships of this type are under construction.

For pirates, a helicopter and gun mount, for the crew - a sauna with a swimming pool

"Amethyst" and its "brethren" can carry out combat service in a sea state of 6 points, while freely maneuvering. Ships of project 22460 have increased seaworthiness and can reach speeds of up to 30 knots.

The outer contours of the ship are designed using elements of stealth technology.

The uniqueness of the ships of this project lies in the fact that, with a small displacement, they are able to take on board a helicopter, which significantly expands the functionality of the vessel.

The ship's crew is 24 people. Combat armament "Amethyst" consists of one 30-mm automatic six-barreled gun mount AK-630, and two 12.7-mm machine guns "Kord". The combat power of the patrol can be enhanced by placing on board A-220M gun mounts and launchers of the Uran anti-ship missile system.

For the needs of the crew, "Amethyst" is equipped with a desalination plant and a sauna with a mini-pool.

It is likely that while patrolling in the area of ​​the Chornomorskneftegaz drilling rigs, Russian sailors will only need a sauna with a mini-pool, and not combat weapons. The very presence of a Russian warship can discourage the implementation of all sorts of dubious adventures.
