"Greatest losing": the prestige of the Fleet of the Russian Federation suffered from war - the media

The publication noted that the prestige of the Russian Fleet was injured after the destruction of the terrestrial missiles of the flagship "Moscow", which is considered the largest warship lost in the fighting since the Second World War. The US media cited Dmitry Medvedev's statement, which he made as a Russian President in 2009: "Without a proper fleet, Russia has no future as a state.

" However, the Russian Black Sea flagship is currently on the bottom of the Black Sea, and its flagship Avmiral Kuznetsov - on repair that can last for years, is unlikely that it can return to service earlier than the end of next year, and only if in The Russian Federation will teach the crew to control the ship. The journalist is convinced that there are currently no seafarers who have experience with aircraft carrier because he has long been decommissioned.

The publication said that in the spring it was announced that the flagship nuclear ship of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation atomic linear cruiser "Peter the Great" type "Kirov" would be written off through too much modernization. While his related ship "Admiral Nakhimov" has not been in working condition since 1999. The media emphasized that the ship could start running tests, but many naval experts doubt its capabilities because the ship is older than many sailors who serve it.

Nevertheless, the Russian Federation has made progress in the creation of hypersonic weapons, which could turn its smaller frigates into warships, the American journalist is convinced. In particular, the Admiral Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov Fleet was involved in testing weapons. The Russian Federation also holds some of the largest underwater forces in the world - 58 boats, including 11 atomic submarines with ballistic missiles. "She (Russia, ed.

) Also lowered several new submarines and plans to build four additional boats with ballistic missiles, five submarines with winged rockets and six diesel shock submarines," Succu said. The journalist added that these ships, along with the planned landing vessels, six frigates and 24 corvettes, can help Russia retain the naval presence on the world stage, but it is a naval power of the wrong scale, "at best it will be a squadron more than a fleet ".

We will remind, on November 27 the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Fleet of the Russian Federation Lieutenant-General Viktor Astapov stated that in Russia they plan to reform the brigades of marine infantry in the division. According to him, the units provide equipment and weapons in a timely manner and added to the training of the use of different types of drones.
