Kurk's death: Russians acknowledged that in 24 years after the disaster they did not build enough rescue vessels

After the disaster, the Submarine of the Russian Federation wanted to develop its own rescue fleet, but these plans were never realized, analysts say. The Russians acknowledged that their state did not draw proper conclusions after the catastrophe of the Kursk submarine and did not build a fleet of search and rescue vessels in the event of new accidents or catastrophes Submarine in the open sea. Such plans were, but they never became a reality. About it writes Defense Express.

According to the Navy development plan, for the period up to 2025, the construction of six large search and rescue vessels of 21300 Delphin was envisaged at once, all of which should be part of the Russian Fleet during 2016-2020. One of the peculiarities of this project was the presence of a deep -sea apparatus designed to save people from sunken submarines. After all, sailors on "Kursk" were killed because the Russian fleet did not have the proper search and rescue equipment.

As early as 2020, the Russian military acknowledged that there was nothing to save sailors on the "course". "There was nothing to save them. Our rescue vessels of the type" Mikhail Rudnitsky ", they were essentially not ready.

The crews of rescue apparatus that were the only hope of those people who were prisoners of the ninth compartment were not worked so much, that they did not even have experience of training, how to join the submarine that was sank, "-recalled the 1st rank captain, Igor Kurdin. The design of rescue vessels of the Project 21300 "Delphin" provides the possibility of placing a large number of people on board, which can be saved from sunken submarines.

Speaking of specific characteristics, the project 21300 "Delphin" provides a body length of 97. 8 meters, full watering 5310 tons, autonomy in the high seas - up to 30 days, crew - 96 people, and up to 120 people with submarine rescued, and another. Power plant-diesel-electric, with auxiliary engines for print and more accurate positioning at the site of search and rescue work.

Set of equipment and weapons-deep-water diving complex GVK-450 with the submarine "Bester-1", 12 portable anti-aircraft missile complexes "ILA" and two anti-retirement grenade launchers DP-65. But from the planned six search and rescue vessels of the project 21300 "Delphin" for all navy fleets of the Russian Federation, the Russians built only one ship called "Igor Belousov", which was laid in 2005, laid on the water in 2012 and was delivered to the customer in 2015 .

Made it for the Pacific Fleet. In 2020, the Russians wrote that the serial construction of rescue vessels of the project 21300 "Dolphin" was postponed indefinitely. The main reason is the absence of the "maximum domestic" deep-sea diving complex GVK-300. The only ship of this type, which is part of the Navy of the Russian Federation, the main rescuer of the project 21300 "Igor Belousov" has a deep-sea complex GVK-450 foreign production on board.

According to sources, this complex is complex and expensive, and there are problems with the supply of components to it in the conditions of sanctions. We will remind, in the Navy of the Russian Federation for the first time informed about the accident with the "course" only two days later, while the disaster happened on August 12.

The information was contradictory: first it was reported that the boat was established, then this information was denied reports that the only way to communicate with the crew was to cross. At that time, the Russians criticized the Russian soldiers, who were drawn to assistance from foreigners for several days-Britain offered it on August 14, and the Norwegian SEAWAY Eagle ship with the British mini-underworks approached the place of death of the submarine only in the evening of August 19.
