Russian Navy: Status and News #5

It is quite an interesting solution.
There are tons of targets that do not require a solid missile to destroy them.
While being too far for an on-board gun.
Loitering ammo seems perfect for it.

Against corvettes it will be deadly. Gznerally they have a douzen anti air missiles and would spend all of them agaibst such drones. They one antiship missile and the ship is dead.

They don't need to.
It is enough if those can reach a 3000m ceiling to make it immune to all but the main caliber gun.
Plus there are tons of other targets, a pirate boat to start with.

They are slow but very manoeuvrable so it can attack from above at 90° where no weapon or radar can see it.

October 30 - Foundation Day of the Russian Navy

The history of the Russian Navy goes back exactly 325 years. It is inextricably linked with the history of our state.

On this day, October 30, 1696, the Boyar Duma adopted a decree initiated by Peter I. in it, the citizens of the Russian state and the whole world were informed that "there should be sea vessels."

In those days, Russia was in dire need of a navy. It was necessary not only for the defense of the country's sea borders, but also for ensuring the safety of merchant ships sailing to other countries under the Russian flag. The appearance of powerful warships in Russia allowed it to overcome isolation and turn from a state of regional importance into a country with significant influence in the world.

Within a few years after its creation, the Russian navy forced the powerful naval powers of that time to reckon with themselves. He had many glorious victories, the first of which the Russian navy won in the Baltic.

Since then, the Russian Navy has been helping to strengthen the international authority of the Russian state and protect its maritime borders.

The foundation day of the Russian Navy is annually celebrated in our country on October 30. And since 1996, when naval sailors celebrated the 300th anniversary of the fleet, this holiday has become a double one. According to the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, this day was also considered to be the Day of the sailor-surface sailor, since it was with surface ships that the Russian Navy began.

Today, the St. Andrew's flag flies over every warship of our country. Relatives, friends and command of the Russian Navy congratulate the sailors-surfacers.

The editorial staff of "Military Review" joins the congratulations to the naval sailors, veterans of the Russian and Soviet Navy. We are grateful to you for your service to the Fatherland and loyalty to duty. We wish you good luck, good health, as well as love and support of your loved ones.

Weren't those subs sent during the Cuban crisis and that US navy couldn't track and needed to wait for them to run out of air and surface to find them ?

Real beasts. Egypt has still some in service upgraded by China. I may mix the classes since plenty were made after WW2 but they were all similar to this one.
