Auxilliary vessels, Special-purpose and minor naval ships

Did someone notice the Afghanit system on the bow?




The green box belongs to it.

They look like the launchers and in the green box are the sensors. Clearly meant to protect the boat while the assault detail leaves it at some beach.

They need to install it on ships too. Will be perfect to intercept subsonic or supersonic anti ship missiles and make them explode outside of the ship.

Effectors mounted on the stern facing upwards. Possible anti-top attack capabilities.

The inclined Kornet launchers also suggest possible anti-air use.

BTW are they actually Afghanits or are they smoke/decoy grenades?

They are hard kill effectors for the Afghanit-lite used by the Kurganets.


The aiming head for the Kornet is probably on a deployable tall mast, to avoid sea spray.

The box is the LWR with what seems like two windows for coarse and precise angle measurements.

BGK was built at the Okskaya Shipyard. The ship was laid down in June 2021. Sea trials began in mid-October 2022.

The boat is named in honor of Anatoly Knyazev, the organizer and participant of the Arctic tests of the first high-latitude navigation complex during the nuclear submarine's voyage to the North Pole in 1963.

Hydrographic boats of project 19920, developed by the Nizhny Novgorod Design Bureau "Vympel", are needed to ensure the safety of navigation: pilotage and leading submarines, maintenance and repair of coastal and floating aids to navigation, performance of hydrographic works, delivery of personnel, special equipment and cargo at a distance up to 1000 miles.

The boats are equipped with modern equipment, which significantly expands the possibilities of hydrographic and hydrological work, the press service of the military department emphasized.

Research vessel "Evgeny Gorigledzhan" will be handed over to the Russian Navy in February
The transfer of the ship is planned after the audit, a source in the military-industrial complex said.

MOSCOW, January 19. /TASS/. The oceanographic research vessel (OIS) "Evgeny Gorigledzhan", built at the Baltic Shipyard (PSZ) "Yantar", will be handed over to the Russian Navy in February. This was reported to TASS by a source in the military-industrial complex.

"The transfer of the Yevgeny Gorigledzhan ship, built for the Defense Ministry's Main Directorate of Deep-Water Research, is scheduled after an audit in February this year," he said.

OIS "Eugene Gorigledzhan" project 02670 was laid on March 19, 2016. It is named after Evgeny Alekseevich Gorigledzhan, General Designer of Special Purpose Nuclear Submarines at the Rubin Central Design Bureau. Project 02670 was developed at Almaz Central Design Bureau.

The vessel is intended for underwater technical work, environmental monitoring of the marine environment, oceanographic survey of the bottom layer, and assistance to search and rescue forces at sea. It is capable of taking on board underwater and rescue vehicles. The displacement of the ship is 4 thousand tons, length - 81 meters, width - 16 meters, autonomy - 30 days, crew - 32 people and 25 people of the expedition.

The Russian Navy will receive a new line of auxiliary vessels. The main requirement is that all new Vimpels must be built only from domestic components. The new series will also include tugs, light tankers, auxiliary and keel vessels. According to sources in the defense Ministry, the main tactical and technical characteristics, as well as the preliminary appearance of the new fleet units, have already been formed and approved. Experts note that although the creation of vessels from exclusively Russian components is not an easy task, its implementation can provide an important groundwork for the future.

The first import-substituted one

As sources in the military department told Izvestia, the main parameters and appearance for the new auxiliary fleet vessels have already been agreed. The main requirement is that they must be completely made from Russian components. Projects are currently being worked out. It should determine how many vessels and what types are needed for the fleets and flotillas of the Russian Navy.

In total, it is planned to build two lines of auxiliary vessels. The first is a universal building, on the basis of which various vessels will be built, in particular a floating workshop and a hospital. The second line includes vessels of different hulls, including a small tanker, a tug, a searchlight and a universal ship for removing physical interference and demagnetization.

"The Soviet Union had a large auxiliary fleet," military historian Dmitry Boltenkov reminded Izvestia. - Specialized vessels for the USSR were built, in particular, in the GDR, Poland, and Finland. Currently, Russia does not have such opportunities, so it is necessary to manage on its own. It is time to replace many auxiliary vessels. The update process is currently not going as fast as we would like. So, the fleet has received only one new ocean — class tanker-Akademik Pashin, and several more such vessels are being built.

The most important thing is the program of import substitution mechanisms, the expert noted. "Actually, filling the ship is the most important thing," he said. — Some components have already been developed, some will have to be created. Creating an import-substituted fleet is not an easy task. But when the ships are fully developed, it will give a big head start for the future. In particular, in the future it will allow to build their own fishing vessels.

The Russian auxiliary fleet consists of ships of various purposes. Project 419 and 141 keel-driven vessels for underwater cargo operations are operating in Russia. Project 535 diving bots have been in service since the 1970s. Sea tugboats in service also have a considerable period of time.

The hospital ship "Irtysh", whose capabilities were used during the pandemic, was built in the 1980s in Poland. The hospital consists of surgical, resuscitation, therapeutic and emergency departments, intensive care, convalescent ward, X-ray room, diagnostic center, pharmacy and medical warehouse. For general physical training, there are gyms and game sports halls (tennis, volleyball, mini-football) on board. The diagnostic center includes a gym, a swimming pool, a steam room with sauna, a shooting gallery and a recreation center. The vessel is capable of receiving victims both from the shore and at sea: two ladders are provided from each side, there is an electric crane for lifting six people on the platform at once. There is a medical boat available. In addition, a Ka-27PS helicopter can be based on board.

Since 2014, the fleet has been receiving floating cranes of project 02690. They can carry out all types of lifting operations, load discharge loads (ammunition, explosives) on surface ships, submarines and vessels, including nuclear war supplies and ballistic missiles.

Rescue vessels of the Russian Navy are mostly still Soviet-built. But in recent years, the construction of the 21300C Dolphin series has begun. The lead ship "Igor Belousov" was laid down in 2005 and launched in 2012. He is currently serving in the Pacific Fleet. A rescue vessel can not only evacuate the crew of an emergency submarine, but also organize the supply of air, electricity and rescue equipment to its board. With the help of manned and uninhabited underwater vehicles, "Dolphin" is able to search and survey emergency objects. The basis of the ship's rescue equipment is the GVK — 450 deep-sea diving complex. It can dive to a depth of up to 450 m and lift sailors from an emergency submarine to the surface, providing decompression in pressure chambers for 60 submariners at the same time.

In 2016, two Project 20360M naval weapons transports were ordered for the Navy. The first representative of the series, "Gennady Dmitriev", was launched in 2021. Its length is 77 m, width-15.8 m. The vessel is equipped with two cargo holds, a platform for transporting goods in containers, a crane with a lifting capacity of 20 tons and a helipad. It was reported that the hull will be reinforced to work in ice.

Russia is also building a series of tankers that will serve in the Northern Fleet. In January 2020, the Akademik Pashin medium sea tanker joined the fleet. The next ship is expected to enter the fleet in 2024, and the series of six vessels is scheduled to be completed in 2028. Some of them will be part of the group of support vessels in the Northern Fleet.

The tankers will not only supply fuel to warships at sea, but also provide resources to coastal infrastructure in the Arctic. The average sea tanker of project 23130 has a displacement of 9 thousand tons, its length is 130 m, and its width is 21 m. The maximum speed is 16 knots. The vessel can be in autonomous navigation for up to two months. The maximum cruising range is 8,000 nautical miles. The ship can independently navigate the non-Arctic seas without restrictions and operate in the Arctic Ocean with an ice thickness of up to 0.8 m. The ship can take on board up to 3 thousand tons of fuel oil, 2.5 thousand tons of diesel fuel, 500 tons of aviation kerosene, 150 tons of lubricating oil, up to 1 thousand tons of fresh water, as well as 100 tons food and equipment.
