"Peter the Great" rusts near the pier: how the Russian Federation planned to install on the cruiser "Zircon" (photo)

The atomic cruiser was planned to be upgraded because it is one of the four built ships of the Project "Orlan". He is the only one in order, it was planned to install from 40 to 80 rockets. In Russia, for several years they want to modernize the atomic cruiser "Peter the Great". However, the satellite photos published by the Osint Analysis show that despite all the statements, the ship continues to rust near the pier in Severodvinsk. The satellite picture was taken on April 5.

On the basis of the Northern Navy of the Navy, the atomic submarine K-329 "Belgorod" was recorded. This boat will be the bearer of Poseidon nuclear torpedoes, but until the submarine has not yet been adopted. Also there is a submarine of TK-208 "Dmitry Donsky", which almost supports the pier atomic cruiser "Peter the Great". The latter is built on the project 1144 "Orlan" and is the flagship of the entire Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation.

It is worth noting that Petro the Great was lowered in 1989, but in fact, it was introduced into the Russian Fleet in the order 10 years later through a constant completion. This is one of the 4 eagle -built ships, and one that still remains in order. In the Russian Federation, the last 5 years have been talking about the need to start the modernization of "Peter the Great", because the ship has been in operation for 32 years.

Now, despite its size, the ship has a rather modest shock weapon-20 supersonic anti-ship missiles P-700 "Granite". It was planned to install 3C14 launchers on atomic cruiser, which could run from 40 Circon missiles or up to 80 caliber missiles. Judging by the satellite image, no works have yet begun. Because in this way it turns out that there will be two atomic cruisers together with Admiral Nakhimov at once.
