Fun Fleet November 5th, 2016

Shipping expert Mikhail Voitenko, who is the editor-in-chief of the Marine Bulletin resource, commented on the photo showing the aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov next to another vessel. On the eve, it was suggested that the ship was taken in tow after refusing to refuel from Spain and Malta, but the Russian Defense Ministry hastened to refute the rumors, saying that the photo shows the moment of refueling the cruiser from the tanker.

Voitenko, for his part, admitted that the information from the Ministry of Defense was true, but did not rule out the following options: either the Admiral Kuznetsov was actually towed simultaneously with refueling - probably due to a breakdown, or we are dealing with disguise of towing for refueling from aim to hide the breakage.

"In the photo, indeed, Kuznetsov is refueling, but not from the tanker Sergei Osipov, but most likely from the tanker Ivan Bubnov or the type of Ivan Bubnov," he said in a letter sent by e-mail. The tanker clearly, if not towing the aircraft carrier, then holds it against the wind and waves. "

Explaining that the fuel is usually supplied during the independent movement of the refueled vessel, he stressed that in this case the situation is different: "Admiral Kuznetsov" does not move independently.

"The explanations can be different, from somewhere some kind of breakdown that made it impossible to refuel on the move in the usual way, to the need to keep the aircraft carrier against the wind and waves for some time, and at the same time refuel," he said, summarizing that "the aircraft carrier could really lose the move. "

To clarify his position, he illustrated different ways of refueling. According to him, replenishment of the fuel tanks of a moving ship looks like this:

"But there is also the option of refueling from the stern, although, judging by the available photos, this happens in the reverse order - the tanker approaches the stern of the aircraft carrier, mooring lines and hose / hoses are supplied from the tank," the expert pointed out, citing the image:

Comparing these images with a photograph with the participation of "Admiral Kuznetsov", he comes to the conclusion that in this case "the aircraft carrier is clearly not on the move." At the same time, the tanker from which it is refueled probably has a course - "either the smallest one to hold the aircraft carrier against the wind / waves, or is slowly towing it, simultaneously refueling".

Meanwhile, he admitted that in this case, the Russian military decided to disguise the towing of the cruiser as refueling, not wanting to make public the fact of the breakdown of the aircraft carrier. “I won’t be surprised, however, if the aircraft carrier really broke down, and the towing is disguised as refueling. Ours will be. They really don’t want to embarrass themselves,” the analyst added.

At the same time, Newsader asked him about the suspicious behavior of two other ships from the flotilla marching from Russia to Syria - the tanker "Sergei Osipov" and the tugboat "Nikolai Chiker". According to the site marinetraffic.com, which automatically tracks the position of ships and vessels, on Thursday the tanker signal was recorded near Spain, and the position of the tug was determined near the Greek island of Crete.

“The AIS signal of the tanker has been missing for 6 days, most likely it’s turned off, and it’s not known where it is now,” the expert said. does Chiker and why he behaves so strangely, I do not understand at all. "

Assessing the overall situation around the movement of the group of ships, Voitenko urged not to exaggerate the importance of this operation of the Russian Navy, the meaning of which, in his opinion, is not completely clear to its organizers themselves and is rather reduced to a propaganda goal.

"They caught up to Syria everything they could, and I'm sure the Kremlin themselves don't really know why. It seems to be the way to go, it seems like we need to show the world that we can do it too, that we have gunpowder and an armored train. It's all cheap." - he expressed his opinion.

Earlier, the Russian service "BBC" reported that, given the problems with the plum installation, the aircraft-carrying cruiser may need to stop on the route.

"Many experts note that the dark smoke that came from the Kuznetsov's chimney may indicate the poor condition of his machines. They note that the aircraft carrier is not able to develop a full speed of 29 knots, fuel consumption has been increased, "the British publication says, the observer of which explained that on the way from Murmansk to the Mediterranean Sea, the aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov will need to refuel at least twice.

Meanwhile, journalist Sergei Parkhomenko on the Ekho Moskvy website in his weekly program "The essence of events" reported on the extremely low combat capabilities of this flotilla, which includes "Kuznetsov". With reference to experts, he pointed out that "in the conditions of modern combat, in the conditions of modern means of destroying such kind of floating craft, the life of this flotilla, headed by" Admiral Kuznetsov ", is 50 minutes from the moment the attack starts. modern means of destruction of such objects ".

Let us remind you that Russia was forced to notify the Spanish authorities of the withdrawal of the request for a call to the port of the autonomous city of Ceuta by the Northern Fleet ship group led by the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. This decision follows Madrid's intention to revise the permit for refueling of Russian ships in the port of Ceuta, which was criticized by Spanish NATO partners. "Given the information that has appeared about the possibility that these ships will take part in supporting hostilities in Syrian Aleppo, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested clarifications from the Russian Embassy in Madrid," the Spanish authorities said in a statement to the BBC.

“NATO's policy over the years has been and continues to be that each country has the right to make its own decision on the supply of foreign ships. But I express my concern that the Russian group can be used to strengthen strikes on Aleppo, and I I am sending this signal to all countries of the alliance, "said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, commenting on the possible refueling of Russian ships in Spain.

Later, Moscow refueled a cruiser, which is not officially a NATO member, but is a member of the European Union. The argumentation of the Maltese authorities was similar to the situation with Spain: they regarded the cruise of Russian ships as an act of aggression against the civilian population of Syria and, on this basis, refused to support the group of the aggressor.

The strike group of the Russian Federation with the Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" is to replenish the Russian flotilla of ten warships already stationed off the coast of Syria. Earlier, NATO expressed concern that the ships could be used to strike civilians.

The large sea tanker "Ivan Bubnov" was built at the Baltic shipyard in Leningrad and launched on April 20, 1974. The ship became part of the Navy, and the flag was raised on it on July 19, 1975. Panov Konstantin Nikolaevich was appointed the first captain of BMT.

After sea trials in the Gulf of Finland, the tanker entered the first combat service in the Mediterranean on October 1, 1975. Here the crew worked out the methods of refueling ships and vessels, replenishing with supplies in the port of Tartus. At first, refueling was carried out at the side or on bakshtov, and on November 7, 1975, three ships were simultaneously refueled on the move by traverse and wake methods (anti-ship missiles "Leningrad", BOD "Nikolaev" and EM "Sharp-eyed"). On December 2, 1975, he performed combat missions in the Atlantic Ocean and provided naval ships in the Conakry area. The tanker returned to the Mediterranean Sea after three months of work in the Atlantic, and on March 17, 1976, the tanker arrived at the main base of the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol. During its operation, "Ivan Bubnov" made 25 exits to combat service and always received excellent marks. The vessel has passed more than 300 thousand miles, made more than 2,000 refueling of ships, transported and delivered various cargoes of more than 800 thousand tons. "Ivan Bubnov" has visited foreign ports more than 40 times, some of them many times.

From June 26 to July 27, 1983, the tanker took part in a large naval exercise of the Black Sea Fleet and the Navy of the NRB with access to the Mediterranean Sea to support ships and vessels in the operational zone of the Mediterranean squadron.During this time, it covered 12,690 miles, provided 91 ships and vessels. 60 of them are on the move, 26440 tons of various cargoes have been delivered to them.

From February 12 to June 7, 1984, the tanker, during combat service in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, participated in a friendly visit of a detachment of Soviet ships to the Republic of Cuba and joint exercises with ships of the Cuban Navy. We have covered 24,320 miles.

For 10 years from 1975 to 1985 BMT "Ivan Bubnov" 13 times was on a long voyage in various points of the World Ocean. During this time, the tanker traveled more than 180 thousand miles, made more than 1300 refueling of the Navy ships, and visited foreign ports more than 30 times.

During the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, the crew of the tanker took an active part both in providing ships and vessels with fuel and in the evacuation of refugees to the ports of the Russian Federation.

From October 13 to November 11, 2002, after a long stay, the tanker performed the tasks of supporting the cruise of a detachment of warships in the Mediterranean Sea as part of the Moskva RCR, Pytlivy SCR and Yamal large landing craft. In the period April-July 2003, the tanker, as part of a detachment of ships under the command of the Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice-Admiral E. Orlov, made a cruise to the Indian Ocean. During the service, the tanker repeatedly took part in operational and command-staff exercises, providing the ships with all the necessary supplies.

In the period from 19.09.2008 to 23.01.2009, the tanker performed the tasks of providing fuel, water and food for the cruise of a detachment of warships in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. He refueled 23 ships of the Black Sea and Northern Fleets, of which 11 were on the move. Made business calls from Latakia (Syria), La Guaira (Venezuela), Havana (Cuba)
