One such boat carries 8 winged rockets "Caliber", the military added. "In 2023 it is planned to accept the fleet three the latest MRCs of the Karakurt series, armed with high -precision missile weapons, as well as a new patrol ship," Sokolov said. The Karakurt MRC for the Black Sea Fleet was first lowered to the Crimea at the Butomus Shipyard (Bay) in Kerch in July 2021. Viceadmiral spoke about the high efficiency of Su-30cm of the Marine Aviation of the Black Sea Fleet.

Such aircraft, according to it, are in generations 4+ and affect air, surface and ground targets, including aircraft covered with infrastructure. According to Sokolov, Su-30cm showed maximum efficiency with the use of anti-ship missiles X-31. "Due to the high speed of flight and maneuverability, the projectile overcomes the air defense and affects the surface goals at the stage of deployment from the base points," the Navy commander said.

In June 2021, the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation was supplemented with three MRK 22800 Karakurt. The ships were called "Odintsovo", "Styshche" and "Soviet" and gave the first Guards division of the 36th Brigade. "Karakurt" has a displacement of 800 tons, in their arsenal-the winged rockets "Caliber" and the installation of AK-176ma caliber 76. 2 mm. Boats can be equipped with anti -ship missiles. The range of boat swimming - up to 2500 miles, autonomy - 15 days.

The main weapon is one starting installation of the universal ship complex 3C14 of the LCD for "calibers", and for the protection of air-the SCR "shezir-M". The boats also have Orlan-10 drones with a radius of up to 120 km. The intelligence does not include the radar radar stations and thus becomes less noticeable. "Karakurts" are the vessels of the River-More class, they are able to perform combat tasks in the high seas and in the internal water arteries.

In 2015, these boats launched "calibers" from the sea on objects in Syria, Russian propagandists say. Commander -in -Chief of the Navy of Russia, Admiral Mykola Yevmenov said that the Baltic Fleet had to receive six "karakurt", four with a SCR "shell". Russian MPC enterprises promised to build 18 Karakurt MRCs and divide them equally between the Baltic, Black Sea and Pacific Fleets.

It should be reminded that on April 24, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accused Ukraine of the attack of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol and threatened to close the "grain agreement". The Navy of the National University of Defense of Ukraine, Stepan Yakimak, warned on April 16, warned that the main task of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation during the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces would be his evacuation to Novorossiysk and other ports in the Black Sea.
