ORGANISATION OF COMBAT PATROLS OF RUSSIA’S UNDERWATER STRATEGIC MISSILE CARRIERS

Originally appeared on  armsdata.net ; Translated by  AlexD  exclusively for  SouthFront Operational service and combat patrol areas Before the advent of sea-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, attack submarines could carry out an attack on enemy targets only from launching positions located at a relatively small distance from its coast. Attack submarines of Projects AV-611, 629, 658 and 667A had to be in the combat areas (operational service). Each submarine was assigned main and reserve areas of combat operations (combat patrols), within which firing positions and waiting areas were allocated. In the period of threat the ship passed from the waiting area to the firing areas (starting) positions. Once at the firing position, the attack submarine was able to launch missiles at the intended targets as quickly as possible after receiving the order. The waiting areas and firing positions were designated in such a way as to allow long-term manoeuvring of submarines with maxi

ENTERTAINING, BUT WITH AWKWARD MISTAKE: RUSSIAN MILITARY SETS UP WEB PAGE WITH NUMBERS, FACTS ON RESULTS OF 2018

The web page provides facts and numbers about the delivered weapons and equipment as well as results of other activities of the military.

The creation of such a web page is an important step in the development of media content provided by the Russian Defense Ministry. However, it appeared that the website included an awkward mistake. Russia’s Peresvet laser combat system was illustrated with a photo of the AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System (also known as XN-1 LaWS) aboard the US Navy’s USS Ponce amphibious transport dock.  View image on Twitter Dmitry Stefanovich @KomissarWhipla Looks like there was one good design solution on the https:// itogi2018.mil.ru /  website. This pic seems to be the bes
