This is a high-speed small-sized boat armed with various types of missiles. For the first time, a ship equipped with missiles was designed by Soviet designers. The fleet of the USSR adopted a ship of this class into service in the 60s. XX century. It was a fast and maneuverable ship 183 P "Komar". The floating apparatus was armed with two missiles. The second Soviet model with four P-15 missiles was a Project 205 missile boat. Later, Israel became the owner of a Saar-type vessel equipped with rocket launchers.

Missile boat “Komar”

Combat use

Boats are designed to destroy surface enemy targets. These can be transport, landing, artillery ships, naval groups and their covers. Another function of a high-speed boat is to cover "their" ships from sea and air threats. They operate both near the shore and far out to sea.

The first baptism of fire of a missile boat occurred during the conflict between Egypt and Israel, and was marked by the destruction of an Israeli destroyer. The destroyer was destroyed by P-15 missiles fired by the Egyptian Mosquito. This case showed the effectiveness of ships of this class in military use and thus convinced many states of the need to create boats with missiles on board.

Boat “Komar”

Projects 205 and 205U "Mosquito"

Project 205 Mosquito was developed by the Almaz design bureau in the mid-1950s. The boats had a steel hull. Engineers have strengthened the armament and seaworthiness of the apparatus. Another difference from the model 183P boat was the rounded ship superstructures and a special deck shape, which allows you to quickly wash away radioactive contamination. Power point consisted of a 42-cylinder radial diesel engine M503. The boat became part of the navy of the Soviet Union in 1960.

Boat “Mosquito”

In the early 60s. project organization Almaz developed the 205U boat. This vessel was armed with a modernized P-15U missile. The wing of the rocket was automatically opened upon takeoff. Also on board were two twin 30-mm AK-230 artillery mounts.

The boats of these projects were participants in several serious military conflicts:

  1. Conflict between Egypt and Israel in the 70s. XX century
  2. Pakistan-India war in 1971
  3. War between Arab countries and Israel in 1973
  4. Iran-Iraq war of the 80s.
  5. The war between the US and Iraqi forces in the early 90s.

project 205 missile boat

Rocket boat design

At first, missile boats had the hull of a torpedo boat. Torpedoes were removed from the ship, and rockets were installed. But in the course of their use, a number of new requirements for the vessel appeared:

  • Specially equipped containers for weapons and special rocket launchers were required, designed for use on a ship.
  • It was necessary to change superstructures and some parts of the deck to remove jet gases when launching missiles, as well as to protect the crew and on-board equipment.
  • It became necessary to equip with powerful radar systems to control and detect missiles.
  • The displacement of the boat has increased. The average displacement of water is from 170 to 1.5 thousand tons.
  • The hull is made of steel and has a smooth deck. The superstructure of the missile boat is made of high-strength aluminum alloys. The vertical walls of the case are waterproof. The length of the hull is from 30 to 65 meters, and the width is up to 17 meters.
  • The power plant of rocket ships, as a rule, has gas turbine or diesel engines. But, for example, the Molniya missile boat is equipped with a combined type propulsion system: two M-70 afterburner turbines and two M-510 diesel engines. They drive fixed-pitch propellers. This increases the speed capabilities of the vessel - up to 40 knots. The range is about 1500 miles with an average speed of 20 knots.
  • The seaworthiness of the ships is quite high. This was achieved due to the rounded design of the bow, deck and special superstructure, high displacement.
  • In the event of a shipwreck, life rafts are evenly spaced around the entire perimeter.
  • The crew of the missile boats ranges from 27 to 78 people. So the Molniya missile boat of projects 12418, 12411 and 12421 accommodates 40-41 sailors and officers on board. And on the large missile boat Bora - 78, including the commander of the ship. Placed personnel in cabins and cockpits.

Missile boat armament

Already from the name itself, it can be understood that the main weapons of the boat are rocket, anti-aircraft and artillery installations of various modifications and types. All installations have accurate homing systems and, unlike artillery, a long range.

The main equipment are several types of rocket launchers. The first PRU "Osa-M". This complex can independently detect targets. For this, the installation is equipped with a locator. It helps to see an object located at a height of up to 4 km and a distance of up to 30 km. The complex also consists of means for setting targets and sighting missiles, equipment for transmitting commands and a remote control for three operators.

The second installation that the boat is equipped with is the Moskit anti-ship missile system. It is designed to destroy surface objects. Missiles are impact resistant nuclear explosion. The complex is used in coastal defense and naval aviation. "Mosquito" is able to pierce any skin of the ship and explode inside the ship. It has a combined control system: navigation and homing. This guarantees a high hit on the target.

Another installation designed for installation on ships is Malachite. This is a Russian-style cruise missile that destroys surface ships. Malachite is a more powerful modification of the first P-70 Amethyst cruise missile.

Its control system includes:

  • Autopilot APLI-5;
  • Radar system "Dvina";
  • Thermal system "Drofa".

Small rocket ship "Bora"

For example, rocket Bora» equipped with:

  • Two launchers "Mosquito" for 8 missiles of the 3M80 type;
  • One paired launcher of the Osa-M anti-aircraft missile system for 20 missiles;
  • One 76mm AK-176 and two 30mm AK-630s.

Small rocket ship "Mirage"

Mirage» armed with:
  • Six launchers of Malachite anti-ship missiles, loaded with 6 P-120 missiles each;
  • One 76mm AK-176 and 30mm AK-630;
  • One paired Osa-M anti-aircraft missile system for 20 missiles.

Small rocket ship "Ivanovets"

Ivanovets» equipped with:
  • Four launchers "Mosquito" for 4 missiles;
  • One 76mm AK-176 and one 30mm AK-630;
  • One anti-aircraft installation "Igla".

Vessels use active and passive target detection. Navigation and radar systems are located at the top of the control room. Radars of the "Monolith" or "Harpoon" model are usually installed. On the superstructure of the floating facility is the Vympel radar system and Spektr-F laser warning equipment. Boats are able to recognize the nationality of nearby ships. For this, the board is equipped with a special “friend or foe” device.

Modern missile boats

The Russian Navy can be proud of the fact that it was armed with a large number of missile boats in different years. Many of their representatives were exported to other countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, India, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Yemen, Egypt.

A total of 62 models and modifications of missile boats were designed. Here are the main operating boats:

  1. Bora has been in service since 1984
  2. Boat R-60 project 12411 - since 1985
  3. The Mirage boat was put into service in 1983
  4. R-71 "Shuya" has been on the meringue of the Russian fleet since 1985
  5. R-109 project 12411 - in service since 1990
  6. The boat "Naberezhnye Chelny" has been operating since 1989
  7. Missile small ship "Ivanovets" - since 1990
  8. "Samum" project 1239 was accepted into the ranks of the fleet in 1991
  9. The Shtil boat has been in the fleet since 1976.

All of them have powerful latest equipment and weapons that meet world standards of military equipment.

The launching and acceptance of a new ship into the combat structure of the Russian Fleet is always an event. The greater the displacement, the more diverse the weapon systems and the more impressive the seaworthiness, the brighter the solemn ceremony is covered by the media. In 2014, to celebrate the Day of the Navy, the delivery of two new units to the defense department, reinforcing the Caspian flotilla, was timed to coincide. Small rocket ships project 21631 "Buyan-M", named after the ancient Russian cities "Uglich" and "Grad Sviyazhsk", at first glance, do not inspire such respect as nuclear cruisers and missile submarines. But their role in Russia's defense capability has yet to be appreciated.

Ship for the closed seas

The Buyan-M project was originally conceived as a type of ship designed not for ocean expanses, but for operations in the open sea. This is known today from open sources, but it is already clear to a ship specialist that a displacement of 950 tons with rather low sides and a small draft does not imply navigation in waters with a possible wave of more than five points. Closed seas washing the shores Russian Federation, only three: Caspian, Black and Azov. The last two water bodies, by the way, have recently been of little interest in terms of national security. An increase in the activity of the fleets of the NATO countries in the Black Sea basin has been observed only recently, after the start of the well-known events in Ukraine.

The situation in the Caspian

As for the flotilla responsible for the stability of the maritime situation in the region, of course, needed to be updated and strengthened. It was for this operational sector that the ships of Project 21631 Buyan-M were intended. At the same time, it was by no means the Republic of Kazakhstan, a strategic partner of Russia and pursuing a friendly foreign policy, that was considered as a potential adversary. At the moment, Azerbaijan (also not hostile) has practically no naval potential. Turkmenistan buys equipment from the Russian Federation and, pursuing an independent foreign policy line, is interested in mutually beneficial trade and economic relations and cooperation in the defense sector. These countries, which in the historically recent past were republics Soviet Union, do not pose a security threat to our borders. Only Iran remains. It is in economic isolation, and it is also very difficult to suspect him of aggressive inclinations towards the great northern neighbor. As they say, enough of their worries.

One could conclude that there are no regional threats to Russia in the Caspian region. So why is a Project 21631 small rocket ship needed here? To answer this question, one should study the characteristics of its weapons systems, nautical data and design features.

river-sea

A project was created and a ship was built in Tatarstan. Plant them. A. M. Gorky is located in the glorious Volga city of Zelenodolsk. This fact in itself speaks volumes. The ship's hull allows it to navigate not only the seas, but also easily travel along the blue arteries of the rivers, penetrating the entire country from North to South and from West to East. River flotillas are also theoretically important for defense, they had a chance to fight during the Great Patriotic War, but since then the military doctrine has undergone major changes. RTO project 21631 "Buyan-M" is not suitable for use as a monitor (a class of ships designed to support infantry is actually a floating artillery battery). This is also evidenced by the rather modest cannon armament: only two hundred-millimeter guns. In addition, actions in the river channels among the islands do not require such serious measures to maintain secrecy, and the speed is too big (25 knots). And the composition speaks eloquently in favor of the predominantly marine character. missile weapons. The ability for river navigation of the Buyan-M ships of project 21631 implies ample opportunities for the transfer of these combat units to almost any probable theater of military operations. If necessary, of course.

Artillery and air defense

The radius of combat use is relatively small. Autonomy is ten days. The Project 21631 small rocket ship can navigate no more than two and a half thousand miles. In addition to the already mentioned 100-mm guns "Universal" (A-190M), airborne artillery is represented by a twin installation "Duet" at the stern, two pedestal machine gun mounts MTPU 14.5 mm caliber and three more rapid-fire 7.62-mm barrels.

The means of naval air defense are two installations "Gibka", which is based on common in the ground forces and effective anti-aircraft missile systems"Needle". This weapon may not be enough to repel a massive air attack; it is designed to deal with attack aircraft and attack helicopters. The main bet was made on other tricks to avoid an airstrike, but more on that later.

Main caliber

RTO project 21631 "Buyan-M" was created to conduct rocket fire on ships and coastal bases of a potential enemy. For this, its main armament is intended, which together constitute the UKKS (universal ship firing system). There are eight shafts in the hull, from which a vertical launch of missiles can be carried out, both subsonic (anti-ship 3M54, surface-to-land class 3M14, anti-submarine 91RT) and supersonic (Onyx 3M55). Thus, with a very modest size and a small crew (approximately 35 people), the Buyan-M small missile cruisers of project 21631 can turn out to be very dangerous opponents for naval targets of much larger tonnage.

Strategic corvette

The Caliber complex, the platform for which project 21631 missile ships can become, is equipped with cruise missiles with a range of combat use equal to 2600 km. From a geographical point of view, this means that Onyx, launched from points located in the waters of the Caspian and Black Seas, can theoretically reach targets located in the Persian Gulf, the Red and Mediterranean Seas and in other places outlined on the map of Eurasia by the circle of the indicated radius, including the strategically important Suez Canal.

Traditionally, corvettes, to which the project 21631 belongs (code "Buyan-M"), are considered combat units of the tactical level. The characteristics of the weapons of the Grad Sviyazhsk and Uglich, which are currently in service with the Caspian Flotilla, subtly hint at their strategic nature.

stealth ship

The outlines of a modern small rocket ship combined with its high speed, water cannon and relatively small size (74 meters), give reason to expect that it will not be easy to detect it in waters saturated with a variety of vessels. On the radar screen, it is difficult to distinguish the Buyan-M project 21631 from a fishing seiner or even a large yacht. In addition, it, like all warships built in Russia, is equipped with a full range of electronic countermeasures capable of incapacitating communications systems and radars for weapons of destruction of a potential enemy. High-frequency radiation-absorbing coatings and slanted silhouettes further reduce the chances of detecting this fast, agile, missile-powered ship.

The situation on the Black Sea

Five Buyan-M ships of project 21631 are currently in the process of construction or sea trials. These are Veliky Ustyug, “ Vyshny Volochek”, “Serpukhov”, “Orekhovo-Zuevo” and “Green Dol”. Initially, all of them were intended for service in the Caspian, but the geopolitical picture in the Black Sea basin that has changed rapidly in the last year prompted the command of the Russian fleet to reconsider these intentions. "Serpukhov" and "Green Dol" will be sent to Sevastopol. The naval forces of the Black Sea Fleet need to be replenished with the latest units capable of countering the so-called "NATO mine-sweeping group", which constitutes a considerable force. Of course, in the event of a military conflict, Crimea would not remain defenseless, and in the current state of affairs, its cover could be provided by the Bal and Bastion complexes, capable of controlling the entire water area up to the Bosphorus Strait, but the constant presence of combat units is required to reliably ensure peace. and demonstration of their capabilities. The main burden of this task will fall on the frigates Admiral Grigorovich, Admiral Essen and RK Moskva, but there will be enough work for the Buyans.

Coastal ships with a long range sight

From the history of fleets and naval battles, a thoughtful politician can conclude that there is no universal weapon suitable for all occasions and capable of successfully operating in any scenario of conflict development. In some situations, powerful cruisers and large battleships are needed; in others, aircraft carrier formations are indispensable; effective tool only submarines can become. In our turbulent age, the Buyan-M mobile missile ships of project 21631 also take their place in the naval formation, protecting the interests of Russia in the immediate vicinity of its shores, but with a long-range aim.

Five more ships of this type are on order.

It has been repeatedly noted that in the Navy of the USSR there was an amazing dependence: the smaller the warship was, the more useful it was.
It is still not clear what the heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers of the USSR Navy were. Huge ships with a displacement of 50 thousand tons left behind only a bitter annoyance: the high complexity and high cost, the lack of coastal infrastructure for their deployment and, in general, the unclear purpose made the TAVKRs ineffective and, simply put, useless - none of the tasks originally assigned to them TAVKRs could not solve, and those tasks that were within their power were solved in much cheaper and more efficient ways.

Soviet cruisers and BODs acted much more confidently. The ships carried out military service in all corners of the oceans, were regularly in combat zones and vigilantly watched the forces of the "probable enemy". Some even managed to “touch” the enemy live: in 1988, a modest BOD of the 2nd rank (guard) “Selfless” fell on the deck with a steel flurry missile cruiser USS Yorktown, demolished half of its side, a crew boat and an Mk-141 installation for launching the Harpoon anti-ship missiles. American sailors had to postpone their Black Sea cruises until better times.

Today, the “Selfless” rests on the bottom, and US Navy ships are free to conduct Sea Breeze exercises in the Black Sea. The Montreux Convention prohibits the presence of warships of non-Black Sea states in the Black Sea for a period of more than 21 days, but the formality does not bother the Americans much - once every three weeks the ships go to the Sea of ​​Marmara, and after a few hours they return back. Thus, the rescue ship "Gresp" of the US Navy has been carrying out diving operations in the port of Odessa since May 2012.

If the ships of the main classes adequately represented the interests of the USSR in the vastness of the ocean, then the Soviet-built missile boats, to put it in Internet jargon, were simply burned. In the literal sense, they burned destroyers, transport ships, boats ... Any enemy was allowed to go to waste. Small boats were actively supplied to the navies of third world countries, which further increased the likelihood of their combat use.
Sometimes it seems to me that the sinking of the destroyer Eilat is given too much importance - missile boats have other great victories. For example, the daring raids on Karachi by missile boats of the Indian Navy (Soviet Project 205) in December 1970. Several Pakistani warships and three transports were sunk. In conclusion, a magnificent firework was given - P-15 rockets blew up 12 huge tanks located on the shore of an oil storage facility.
The development of electronics and rocket technology has made it possible to create an even more formidable. The evolution of missile boats in the USSR led to the creation of a completely new class of warships - a project of a small missile ship with an easy-to-remember code 1234.

Gadfly

A clot of combat matter with a total displacement of 700 tons. Full speed 35 knots. The cruising range of the economic course allows you to cross the Atlantic Ocean (4000 miles at 12 knots). Crew - 60 people.
It is no coincidence that MRK pr.1234 was called "a pistol at the temple of imperialism." The main caliber is six launchers of P-120 Malachite anti-ship missiles! The name of the complex directly indicates the estimated firing range - 120 km. The starting weight of the monstrous ammunition is 5.4 tons. The mass of the warhead is 500 kg, some of the missiles were equipped with a special warhead. The marching speed of the rocket is 0.9M.


Also, the armament complex of a small rocket ship included:
- Osa-M air defense system for self-defense of the ship (20 anti-aircraft missiles, effective firing range - 10 km, launcher reload time - 20 seconds. Weight of launcher without ammunition - 7 tons).
- twin artillery system AK-725 caliber 57 mm (later replaced by 76 mm single-barreled AK-176)
- modernized RTOs pr.1234.1 were additionally equipped with a 30-mm AK-630 assault rifle installed in the aft part of the superstructure.

Even with the naked eye, you can see how overloaded the ship is with weapons and combat systems. As for the sober assessment of RTOs pr.1234, the sailors were ambivalent about these ships: on the one hand, the salvo is equal in power to several Hiroshima, on the other hand, low survivability, poor seaworthiness and very little chance of reaching the distance of a missile attack. The command of the US Navy was skeptical about the "missile frigates": AUG aviation surveys 100 thousand square kilometers of space in an hour - the Russians must be great optimists in order to expect to approach unnoticed. The situation was aggravated by the standard problem in naval combat - target designation and guidance. RTOs' own radio-electronic means make it possible to detect surface targets at a distance of the radio horizon (30-40 km). Firing missiles at full range is possible with the presence of external means of target designation (for example, Tu-95RTs aircraft). And yet, the enormous power of these small ships forced even the US 6th Fleet to reckon with them. Since 1975, small missile ships have been regularly included in the 5th operational squadron of the Black Sea Fleet: numerous and ubiquitous, they created many problems for American sailors.
Despite its direct purpose - the fight against the ships of the "probable enemy" in the closed seas and the near ocean zone - RTOs pr. 1234 successfully completed the tasks of protecting the state border, provided combat training for aviation and the fleet, and were even used as anti-submarine ships, while, without having on board specialized means to combat submarines.


SAM "Osa-M"


In total, 47 small missile ships of various modifications were built under project 1234: 17 according to the basic design, 19 according to the improved pr. 1234.1, 10 RTOs in the export version of pr. rockets "Onyx" were installed).
In addition to the appearance of new weapon systems and a jamming station, one of the differences between RTOs pr.1234.1 imperceptible from the outside from the basic version was the presence of flame ovens on board - now the sailors were provided with freshly baked bread.

The dimensions of the hull of export ships pr.1234E remained the same. The power plant consisted of three diesel engines with a capacity of 8600 liters each. s, providing a full speed of 34 knots. (on the basic project there were engines with a capacity of 10 thousand hp) The crew was reduced to 49 people. Air conditioners and an additional refrigerator were installed for the first time on export modifications of RTOs to improve the living conditions of the crew.


RTOs of the Algerian Navy "Reis Ali" pr. 1234E


The strike armament has changed: instead of the Malachite anti-ship missiles, the ships received the P-15 anti-ship missiles in two twin launchers located side by side. In addition, to increase combat stability, two PK-16 launchers were added for setting passive interference. Instead of the Titanit radar, the old Rangout radar was installed, at the same time, the impressive cap from the Titanit radar was retained for solidity.
All small rocket ships were assigned "weather" names, traditional for heroic patrol ships Great Patriotic War- "Breeze", "Monsoon", "Fog", etc. For this, the formations of RTOs were called the "bad weather division."

Results in dash: Ivanov → milk, Petrov → milk, Sidorov → Petrov

Many of the expired P-15 missiles ended their careers as aerial targets to provide combat training for anti-aircraft gunners. When the missile was transformed into the RM-15M target, the homing head was turned off on it, and the warhead was replaced with ballast. On April 14, 1987, the Pacific Fleet conducted combat training exercises to practice repelling a missile attack. Everything happened in all seriousness: RTOs "Musson", RTOs "Whirlwind" and MPK No. 117 formed a warrant on which missile boats fired from a distance of 21 km.
It is still not clear how this could happen. The means of self-defense failed to repel the attack, and the target missile with an inert warhead hit the superstructure of the Monsoon RTO. Some witnesses of the tragedy had the impression that the homing head of the target missile was not turned off. This was evidenced by the flight path of the rocket and its "behavior" on the final stage. From this, the conclusion was drawn: criminal negligence was committed at the base, forgetting to turn off the missile seeker. The official version says that somehow by chance, flying along a ballistic trajectory, the rocket hit the Monsoon RTO without aiming. The invisible hand of providence, the ship was destined to die on this day.


Death of the Monsoon


The components of the rocket fuel caused a volumetric explosion and an intense fire in the interior of the ship. In the first second, the commander and most of the officers were killed, as well as the first deputy commander of the Primorsky Flotilla, Admiral R. Temirkhanov. According to many experts, the reason for such a violent fire and poisonous smoke was the material from which the structures of not only the Monsoon, but also almost all modern warships are made. This is an aluminum-magnesium alloy - AMG. The killer material contributed to the rapid spread of fire. The ship was de-energized, lost intra-ship and radio communications. The fire pump stopped. Jammed almost all the hatches and doors. The fire system and irrigation systems for the bow and stern magazines of ammunition were destroyed. In order to avoid a premature explosion, the sailors managed to slightly open the lids of the cellar with anti-aircraft missiles in order to reduce internal pressure.

After checking the temperature of the bulkheads in the area of ​​the 33rd frame, behind which there was a cellar with anti-aircraft missiles, and making sure that the bulkheads were hot, the sailors realized that there was nothing to help the ship.
At night, the Monsoon RTO sank 33 miles south of about. Askold, taking the burnt bodies of 39 people to a depth of 3 kilometers.

After the death of the Sheffield URO destroyer in 1982 from an unexploded Exocet missile, Western military experts concluded that a large number of various combustible materials contributed to the rapid spread of fire, in particular, aluminum alloys. Since 1985, the superstructures of American ships have been insulated with silicate felt combined with fiberglass. English engineers developed an insulation called "counterflame" to protect structures from fire. However, AMG alloys are still widely used in shipbuilding.

And this could be called an accident, but apparently once was not enough. On April 19, 1990, training and combat firing was carried out in the Baltic to practice repelling a missile attack. Under similar circumstances, the target missile hit the Meteor RTO, knocking down several antennas on the ship's superstructure. Fly it a little lower - and the tragedy could happen again.

"Missile corvettes" in battle

During the incident in the Gulf of Sidra (1986), the American cruiser USS Yorktown (the same Black Sea "hero") discovered a small target 20 miles from Benghazi. It was the Libyan RTO "Ein Zakuit", crept up to the Americans in radio silence, simulating a fishing boat. Even a short-term (only two turns of the antenna) inclusion of the radar unmasked a small missile ship and thwarted the attack. The launch of two missiles "Harpoon" RTO was set on fire and sank after 15 minutes. There is still no exact description of that battle: some sources attribute the death of RTOs to the successful actions of carrier-based aircraft. The Americans also call another small missile ship destroyed by aircraft "Entrance". It is reliably known that another Ein Mara RTO was damaged in this battle - it had to undergo emergency repair with the elimination of combat damage at the Primorsky Plant in Leningrad, in 1991 it returned to the Libyan fleet again under the name "Tariq ibn Ziyad ".


"Ein Zakuit"


If, on the basis of these data, dear readers have concluded that RTOs pr.1234 are weak and useless, then I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the following.

The naval battle off the coast of Abkhazia on August 10, 2008 was the first serious combat clash of the Russian Navy in the 21st century. Here is a brief chronology of those events:
On the night of August 7-8, 2008, a detachment of ships of the Black Sea Fleet went to sea from the Sevastopol Bay and headed for Sukhumi. The detachment included the large landing ship "Caesar Kunikov" with a reinforced company of marines on board, and its escort - MRK "Mirage" and a small anti-submarine ship "Muromets". Already in the campaign, they were joined by the large landing ship Saratov, which set off from Novorossiysk.
On August 10, five high-speed Georgian boats left the port of Poti to meet them. Their task is to attack and sink our ships. The attack tactics are known: fast small boats equipped with powerful anti-ship missiles suddenly strike at a large landing craft and leave. With a successful scenario, the result is "shock and awe." Hundreds of dead paratroopers, a burned-out ship and Saakashvili's victorious reports: "We prevented the intervention", "The Russians do not have a fleet, they are not capable of anything." But it turned out the opposite. "News" managed to collect detailed information from the participants of this battle:
18 hours 39 minutes. Russian radar reconnaissance discovered several fast-moving targets on a combat course towards the formation of our ships.
18.40. Enemy boats approached a critical distance. Then from the flagship "Caesar Kunikov" a volley was fired from the MLRS A-215 "Grad". This does not stop the Georgians, they increase their speed and try to reach the so-called "dead zone" where rocket weapons are useless. The Mirage small missile ship is ordered to destroy the enemy. The distance to the target is 35 kilometers. Preparation for the strike, calculations - everything was done in just a few minutes. Naval combat is always fleeting.
18.41. The commander of the "Mirage" gives the command "Volley!". The first rocket went to the target. A few seconds later - the second. Flight time to the Georgian boat "Tbilisi" is only 1 minute 20 seconds. The distance between the opponents is about 25 kilometers.
First missile hit engine room boat "Tbilisi". A second later - another report - hitting the second in the wheelhouse. On the radar of our ship for 30 seconds there was a strong flare, which means the complete destruction of the target, accompanied by a large release of thermal energy.
18.50. The commander of the Mirage gives the command to change position. The ship at high speed leaves towards the coast, makes a U-turn and again falls on the combat course. The radar shows only 4 targets. One of them, a Georgian boat, having increased its speed, is again approaching our ship. "Mirage" opens fire from the "Osa" air defense system.
At this time, the distance was reduced to 15 kilometers. The missile hit the side of the Georgian boat, which immediately began to smoke, slowed down and tried to leave the line of fire. The rest of the Georgian ships disengage from the battle, turning sharply in the opposite direction. Mirage does not pursue a downed enemy, there is no order to finish off.

From the report of the commander of the Mirage MRK to the flagship: “Of the five targets, one was destroyed, one was damaged, three were out of combat. The consumption of missiles: anti-ship - two, anti-aircraft - one, there are no losses among the personnel. There is no damage to the ship."

As of 2012, the Russian Navy has 10 RTOs pr.1234.1 and 1 RTOs pr.1234.7. Given the difficult state of the domestic Navy, these modest ships are a good support - their operation does not require large expenses, at the same time, they fully retained their combat qualities, which once again confirmed the naval battle off the coast of Abkhazia.
The main thing is not to set impossible tasks for small missile ships; other means should be used to counter aircraft carrier strike groups.


RTO "Zyb" at the parade in St. Petersburg


The traditions of creating highly effective naval weapons have not been forgotten - in Russia it is planned to build a series of 10 small missile ships pr. 21631 "Buyan". The total displacement of RTOs of the new type will increase to 950 tons. The water jet provides a speed of 25 knots. The strike armament of the new ship will be strengthened by the appearance of the Universal Shipborne Firing Complex (UKKS) - 8 launch cells for launching missiles of the Caliber family.

Small anti-submarine and small missile ships (according to the IVI Western classification - corvettes) - important component domestic fleet. Their main purpose is anti-submarine defense and missile strikes against enemy surface forces in the near sea zone. This directory includes all representatives of the MPK and RTO classes of the Navy of the USSR and Russia, as well as the PSKR of projects 1124MP and 12412, which are their modifications. The directory does not include large hunters of projects 122-a and 122-bis, as well as small anti-submarine boats of project 201.

Small missile ships of projects 1234, 12341, 1234E and 12347 - 48 units.



The emergence of the MRK class was determined by the need to create small-displacement attack ships, which differ from missile boats in their increased cruising range, better seaworthiness and more effective weapons. RTOs of project 1234 (codenamed "Gadfly") became the first ships of this type, which had no analogues in foreign fleets. In 1974, the project was improved: the 57-mm AU was replaced by a more powerful 76-mm AK-176, and a 30-mm AK-630 assault rifle was added (project 12341, in the list marked with*). At the same time, the total displacement increased to 730 tons, the draft - up to 3.08 m, the crew increased to 65 people. For foreign customers, an export version of RTOs of project 1234E was built ( marked with**), on which, instead of the Malakhit anti-ship missiles, 4 P-20 anti-ship missiles (export modification of the P-15M) were installed.
