Good morning! Very soon a naval parade in honor of Navy Day will begin in St. Petersburg. The weather today is cloudy, but weather forecasters promised that there will be no rain. Tens of thousands of St. Petersburg residents and city guests came to watch the parade. Spectators have already taken their places along the embankments. Townspeople are photographed against the background of the raised bridges: they were specially raised so that heavy ships could pass unhindered along the Neva.
The Russian President's boat is approaching Universitetskaya Embankment. Naval aviation advanced to the main place of celebrations. The ships are already standing along the Neva embankments.
The parade begins with a shot from the Peter and Paul Fortress. A military band plays a march.
"Congratulations on Navy Day!" - Vladimir Putin addressed the sailors.
The boat number 001, where Vladimir Putin is located, passes by the large landing ship "Minsk". It has been part of the Baltic Fleet since 1983. Large landing ships of Project 775 are the main forces for landing amphibious assault on unequipped coasts, transporting troops and armored vehicles during naval operations. The crew of the large landing ship "Minsk" took part in the anti-terrorist operation in Syria and participated in many long-distance campaigns.
Nearby is the small anti-submarine ship "Urengoy". This is the lead ship of the 1331M series, the vessels of the project are designed to perform patrol duty and protect the water area. The ship is commanded by Lieutenant-Commander Konstantin Kuzovlev.
The missile boat "Dimitrovgrad" is the only guards ship formation in the Baltic Fleet. Powerful strike missile weapons and maneuverability allow the boat, as part of a ship group, to launch missile attacks on surface ships. "Dimitrovgrad" took part in 30 missions of the Baltic Fleet. The ship's commander is captain third rank Ivan Dmitrenko.
Vladimir Putin congratulated the crew of the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Makarov. This ship served in the Atlantic, making trips to Cuba and Morocco. Refers to the Kronstadt project.
For the first time in the history of naval parades in St. Petersburg, more than five thousand sailors of the Baltic, Northern, Black Sea fleets and the Caspian flotilla will take part in the ceremonial events.
Vladimir Putin's boat docked at Universitetskaya embankment.
President Vladimir Putin, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, and Navy Commander Vladimir Korolev went ashore.
A flag is carried along the embankment battleship"Azov". The flag of "Azov" - the glory and pride of the Russian fleet - is hoisted on the Admiralty building.
The President addressed the sailors and congratulated them on Navy Day. “The history of Russia is inextricably linked with the victories of its intrepid navy,” Vladimir Putin noted.
“Over the centuries, the courage and resilience of Russian sailors have been strengthened in battle, the traditions of maritime brotherhood have been consolidated,” the president emphasized. “The fleet and devotion to the Fatherland are inseparable.”
“Modern ships are coming into service, personnel training technologies are being improved,” said Vladimir Putin. “Today the navy is making a contribution to the fight against terrorism and piracy.”
The Russian anthem plays.
Military bands pass along the embankment and a march plays.
The traditions of naval parades were laid down by Peter I. In 1714, after the victory of the Russian fleet in the Battle of Cape Gangut, he held the first review of naval equipment in history.
By the way, today viewers will be able to see the boat of Peter I, the same one with which the history of the Russian fleet began more than 300 years ago.
The naval part of the parade begins. Anti-sabotage boats open the parade formation of ships.
Today, the boats “Yunarmeets of the Caspian”, “Yunarmeets of the Baltic”, “Yunarmeets of Kamchatka”, “Yunarmeets of the Arctic”, Primorye and Crimea will pass in the parade formation. Anti-sabotage boats of Project 21980 patrol the water area around the construction of the Kerch Bridge. The group of boats is commanded by senior midshipman Alexander Kasinsky.
Project anti-sabotage boats Project 21980 is known under the code "Rook". The vessels are designed to protect against threats in the basin waters and nearby approaches to them and to protect state borders. The first boat of the project is called "Nakhimovets", it was commissioned in 2010.
The project also includes the vessels “Kadet”, “Suvorovets”, “Kursant Kirovets”. Opener of the naval part of the parade
"Caspian Yunarmeets" was commissioned in 2013. Since then, all the boats of the project received names associated with the movement of the Youth Army members. Thus, boats passed along the Neva, receiving names in honor of the movements of the Baltic, Kamchatka, Arctic, Primorye and Crimea.
Patrol boats of the Raptor series pass along the Neva. These are very small, but very maneuverable ships. The length of each Raptor is 16.9 meters, width - 4.1 meters, draft - 0.9 meters. The boat can reach speeds of up to 50 knots or 100 kilometers per hour. The ships are capable of finding a target at a distance of up to three kilometers and firing at a range of two kilometers.
The Raptor is carrying the reconstructed boat of Peter I. The same one with which the history of the Russian fleet began.
The boats are hoisted with the banners of the famous units that took part in fierce battles during the Great Patriotic War. Behind every banner is a story of incredible courage.
The passage of the boats is completed by a landing craft on an air cavern. Boats of this type are designed to solve complex combat missions due to the design features, the speed of the boat can reach 36 knots. On board the boat is a B-82 armored personnel carrier. Commander - senior midshipman Maxim Fomenko. His great-grandfather, Private Nikolai Stepanovich Tsygankov, fought and died in the battles for the city of Vyazma in March 1943.
In service are raid and base minesweepers; they serve at the Leningrad naval base. The Leningrad naval base monitors the operational situation in the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga. Mine minesweepers are capable of detecting all types of sea mines at various depths.
In 2009-2010, during the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, the forces of the Baltic Fleet, including ships that are now passing along the Neva, carried out large-scale demining of the waters of the Gulf of Finland. More than 60 explosive objects were discovered and neutralized. In 2011, the tasks of demining the Gulf of Ob and the coastal part of the Kara Sea were completed.
The basic minesweeper of the new generation "Alexander Obukhov" is in combat formation. It was designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau. The ship is commanded by captain of the third rank Sergei Tikhonov. The basic minesweeper is designed to search and destroy mines in the waters of naval bases at distances that are safe for the ship.
The ship is unique primarily for its hull. It is made of monolithic fiberglass, formed by vacuum infusion. The use of this technology made it possible to achieve special strength, which is important for a mine-resistant vessel.
"Alexander Obukhov" is the lead ship of Project 12700 "Alexandrite". The ship entered service with the Russian Navy in December 2016. The displacement of all ships in the series is 890 tons, length - 61 meters, width - 10 meters, speed at full displacement - 16.5 knots. The ship is served by a crew of 44 people.
A ship's missile group is approaching the Neva fairway. The parade formation is led by the Project 12411 missile boat "Chuvashia". The ship is commanded by captain of the third rank Artem Starkov. Ships of the 12411 series are also known by the code "Molniya-1". These ships are designed to destroy enemy warships, as well as their transport and landing craft.
The boat "Chuvashia" was originally called "R-2", it joined the Baltic Fleet in February 2000. Since that time, the boat has performed more than 40 combat duties and more than 70 firing exercises. The boat represented the Russian Navy in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The ship has traveled more than 15 thousand miles.
The length of the boat is 56.1 meters, width - 10.2, draft - 2.5 meters, the vessel can reach speeds of up to 41 knots. The ship can sail autonomously for up to ten days. The Chuvashia crew consists of 40 people.
A small rocket ship "Geyser" under the command of third-rank captain Vladimir Kozeltsev is passing along the Neva. The boat is designed to launch missile attacks on enemy ships. The ship itself is relatively small, its length is 59.3 meters, its width is 11.8 meters, and its displacement is 730 tons. Despite its modest dimensions, the boat has six launchers for Mosquito anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and artillery weapons.
The passage of the missile boats is completed by the newest small missile ship "Serpukhov", which represents a new generation of missile ships of the Navy, built by the Zelenodolsk shipyard. The captain of the ship is Lieutenant Commander Peter Lyushin.
The Serpukhov ship was commissioned into the Russian Navy as recently as December 2015. But already in August 2016 he found himself on a combat mission in Syria, which he successfully completed. "Serpukhov", like all ships of the 21631 series, is equipped with high-precision missile weapons, allowing them to strike both sea and ground targets. The ship has a gun mount capable of firing high-explosive fragmentation shells at a distance of up to 21 kilometers. Also, the technical capabilities make it possible to hit air targets at an altitude of up to 15 kilometers.
Meanwhile, at the Kronstadt roadstead, an anti-submarine tactical group consisting of the small anti-submarine ships Kazanets and Zelenodolsk, as well as the large anti-submarine ship Vice Admiral Kulakov, is in parade formation.
Ships of this class are designed to search, track and destroy submarines independently or as part of a group. They can also be used to repel enemy air and submarine forces. In 2016, the crew of the large anti-submarine ship "Vice Admiral Kulakov" performed the task of combat service along the route Northern Sea Route, and then, as part of the Northern Fleet group in the eastern Mediterranean, participated in a military operation in Syria.
"Vice Admiral Kulakov" is a legendary ship. It became part of the Northern Fleet in 1982. The length of the ship is 163 meters, width - 19 meters, draft - 7.8 meters, standard displacement - 6840 tons. The ship can sail autonomously for up to 30 days. The crew consists of 293 people. In 2010, after repairs, "Vice Admiral Kulakov" returned to the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy.
A tactical group of the latest attack ships, consisting of the frigate Admiral Gorshkov and the corvette Soobrazitelny, appeared in the parade formation in Kronstadt, where its naval parade is taking place.
"Admiral Gorshkov" is a large surface combat ship, the real pride of domestic shipbuilding. It is equipped with the Armat universal artillery mount, and the ship is also equipped with up to 16 Onyx missiles. Anti-submarine weapons include 16 anti-submarine missiles and 8 anti-submarine missile systems. An aviation group is also provided in the form of one Ka-27PL helicopter.
The frigate is also unique in that up to 30 percent of completely new unique technologies and materials were used in its construction. Experts say he is virtually invulnerable. Now Admiral Gorshkov is completing state tests and could be transferred to the Northern Fleet in November 2017.
Now on the Kronstadt embankment you can see the large landing ships "Alexander Shabalin" and "Ivan Gren". The honorary right to participate in the naval parade is entrusted to paratroopers.
The crew of the large landing ship "Alexander Shabalin" won the prize of the Commander of the Navy for amphibious training ten times. The ship is commanded by captain third rank Alexander Shelestov. "Alexander Shabalin" has been in service with the Navy since 1986.
The large landing ship "Ivan Gren" is the lead ship of the 11711 series. This is a new generation of Russian landing ships. "Ivan Gren" is capable of carrying up to 380 people Marine Corps and 36 units of various military equipment. The ship was launched in 2012. The ship's sea trials are currently ongoing and it is planned that it will be transferred to the Navy in the fall of 2017. It is noteworthy that despite its young age, the ship has already proven itself worthily: in 2016, during tests, the Ivan Gren brought a civilian boat out of a storm.
Meanwhile, a tactical group of submarines appeared on the Kronstadt embankment. It includes the boats "Vladikavkaz", "Veliky Novgorod" and "Kolpino".
It is worth noting that all three of these submarines are often called “Varshavyanka”. But it is not so. Project 636.3 includes only Veliky Novgorod and Kolpino. And "Vladikavkaz" is a boat of Project 877, which is sometimes also called "Halibut". The first Halibuts appeared in the early 80s; they were developed at the Rubin Design Bureau. They differed from boats of previous generations in their quietness and speed. The Vladikavkaz submarine has been in service with the Navy since 1990.
Boats of the Varshavyanka series were initially intended to be delivered to the Warsaw Pact countries. Work on the project began in the late eighties. That's when the name took shape. Initially, the Varshavyankas were built at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant, but now the submarines within the framework of Project 636.3 are being built in St. Petersburg, at the Admiralty Shipyards. "Veliky Novgorod" and "Kolpino" were accepted into the Northern Fleet in November 2016. In the coming years, it is planned to build six more such submarines at the Admiralty Shipyards.
The cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" passed near the Kronstadt embankment. The ship is commanded by Captain First Rank Sergei Alantyev. "Marshal Ustinov" was launched on February 25, 1982, and became part of the Northern Fleet on November 5, 1986. Its length is 186 meters, width - 20.8 meters, crew - about 500 people.
At the end of last year, a large-scale modernization was completed on the cruiser. The ship is currently armed with 16 cruise missile launchers, as well as anti-aircraft missile systems, artillery and anti-submarine weapons.
This year guests from China will also take part in the parade. The destroyer Heifei and the frigate Yunchen are passing along the Neva. Previously, these ships took part in bilateral Russian-Chinese exercises. "Yongcheng" entered service with the Celestial Navy in 2010. The crew made long sea voyages and visited many countries of the Pacific Rim and Europe. The destroyer can reach speeds of up to 27 knots. The crew is 155 people.
The heavy nuclear submarine cruiser "Dmitry Donskoy" is sailing along the Neva. This is the first ship of the 941 Akula series. It is equipped with a Bulava missile system with six hypersonic warheads. "Dmitry Donskoy" can dive to a depth of 320 meters and remain autonomous for 120 days. This is the largest submarine in the world. The length of the vessel is 172 meters, the width of the hull is 23.3 meters. The crew of "Dmitry Donskoy" is 165 people.
The parade of ships on Navy Day will take place in St. Petersburg on Sunday, July 30. In parallel, Kronstadt is the main naval parade of the country. In the Neva water area you will be able to see more than 20 ships and boats, as well as a submarine. The Central Naval Portal has collected the most interesting information about these ships.
The opening ceremony of Navy Day will begin at 9:30 Moscow time on board the cruiser Aurora. At 10:00 a naval parade of ships starts in the Neva waters near the Blagoveshchensky Bridge.
The frigate "" (Black Sea Fleet) was laid down on February 29, 2012 at the Yantar shipyard, launched on September 2, 2015. Factory mooring tests of the Admiral Makarov began in April 2016, state tests started in October. The frigate is expected to arrive in the Black Sea Fleet in November 2017.
Purpose
