What does the loss of unique ship "Ivan Hurs" means for the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation

There are only two reconnaissance ships in 18280 in the whole of Russia. It has in the arsenal of intelligence equipment, as well as alleged devices for tracking American elements. Even temporary loss of intelligence can have significant consequences for the occupiers on the Black Sea. On May 24, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced an attempt to attack the reconnaissance ship of the project 18280 "Ivan Hurs".

It was argued that all excess drones were destroyed, but already posted a video on the network on the network. The focus understood what means the loss of a rare machine for the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. The Project ship 18280 was created for intelligence. All Fleets of the Russian Federation have only two ships of this project. The one in the Black Sea was lowered in 2017 and put into operation in 2018.

The main tasks of the ship are radio intelligence, radio electronic fight, as well as supporting the connection and management of the fleet. Initially, Ivan Hurs had to go to the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation, but it was decided to send it to the Black Sea to replace the sunken ship "Lyman", which was also intelligence. It was finally recorded in the 519th separate division of the Black Sea Fleet intelligence ships.

The official task of "Ivan Hursa" is to ensure the safety of the functioning of the pipelines "Turkish Stream" and "Blue Stream". However, the developers invested in him the opportunity to be as a flagship for a network-centric war and to coordinate the actions of aviation and land troops. The ship was built at the Northern shipyard for 4 years.

Ivan Hurs received the following equipment for tasks: the Russian Federation also states that Ivan Hurs can track the elements of the US Anti -Prakhet Defense. The main characteristics of the ship: however, the weapons of "Ivan Hursa" is quite modest - 2 or 4 installations for large -caliber machine guns of the CPV caliber 14. 5 mm, as well as the IGLA MSrk. The ship crew is 131 people. The ship is able to overcome up to 8,000 nautical miles and stand out autonomously for 45 days.

519 A separate Division of the Black Sea Fleet has 4 intelligence ships: damaged by the Ukrainian drone "Ivan Hurs" is the latest and most modern average intelligence ship. "Equator" and "Kingdin" have been in operation since 1968 and 1970, respectively. During the exploitation, modernization was carried out in the 1970s. The ships received better equipment, but they are almost 4 times smaller than Ivan Hurs. Their watertone is 1080 tons.

Only after the modernization of "Equator" and "Kingdin" became intelligence, before that they were classified as hydrographic ships. "Azov" is a ship that was put into operation in 1987, and in 2007 it was modernized. Its watertone is 2980 tons. It performs tasks for radio intelligence, telemetric intelligence, and can record electromagnetic radiation. "Ivan Hurs" is the only interval of 4 ships that is stated as a ship for "network -centered war".

Only he can provide troops and coordinate the actions of aviation and land troops. In addition, it has more modern equipment, and therefore even the temporary loss of the ship will affect the ability of the Black Sea Fleet to perform various tasks.

The media also wrote that the reconnaissance ship "Equator" was damaged because there was information about three dead crew members: senior radiometrist Rustam Saaber, senior motorist of the electromechanical combat unit Murat Hatazhukov and radio telegraphist Dmitry Deyev. If the "equator" has not yet been repaired, there are two medium -sized reconnaissance ships left in the Black Sea Fleet.

Despite the statement of the Russian Federation that Ivan Hurs was reflected from all three surface drones, one of them reached the target. In Ukraine, a video was posted as one of the sea drones reaches the board of the Ivan Hurs ship. Later, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine confirmed the "acquaintance" of a Russian ship with a sea drone. Russian propagandists tried to publish a video of two years ago for returning the ship to the bay of Sevastopol.
