>Он также сообщил, что заканчивается строительство многоцелевой атомной подводной лодки проекта 855, в следующем году она будет пущена на воду
Что за проэкт? Это не 885 на самом деле?
Вообще у меня по ПЛ несколькодругие сведения:
The Russian Project 955 strategic ballistic-missile submarine to be named the Yuriy Dolgorukiy was laid down late in 1996. It was to have carried the Grom (NATO SS-N-28) missile, which was cancelled early in 1998. According to several recent reports, the program has been altered radically by adoption of the smaller Bulava missile and the original Dolgorukiy has been abandoned in favor of adding a new 12-round missile-launching section to the incomplete third Akula-II nuclear-powered attack submarine (Что за фигня? Превратить пр. 971 в ПЛАРБ, потем добавки секции с 12-ю шахтами? Не трава ли?) . All that is known for certain, however, is that Russian Navy leaders continue to maintain that an SSBN named Yuriy Dolgorukiy will enter service some time in this decade. On 26 June 2002, in support of development of the Bulava missile, the first Typhoon-class ballistic-missile submarine was ceremonially rolled out of the repair hall at Yagriy Island, Severodvinsk, where it had been secluded in overhaul since October 1990. Once the dignitaries and the press had departed, however, the giant submarine — renamed the Dmitriy Donskoy in 2000—reportedly was rolled back into the building for further work that will delay her availability for missile trials until 2005. At the end of 2002, the only SSBNs available for operational patrols were the Typhoon Severstal', three Delta IVs, and as many as five Delta Ills, the latter to be retired by the end of 2005. Three other Delta IVs are in overhaul, and the third remaining Typhoon hull—in reserve since 1997— was given the name Arkhangelsk on 30 July 2002 in anticipation of funding to restore her to operation.
The Sevmash building yard has been funding a low level of construction activity on the 12th Oscar II nuclear-powered cruise-missile submarine (SSGN) Belgorod (launched at Severodvinsk in 1999) in hopes the Russian government will buy the 19,400-ton submarine as a replacement for her sunken sister Kursk,
but thus far the government has shown no sign of wanting her. Other SSGN and nuclear-powered attack submarine construction has been halted, although the incomplete Akula I submarines building at Komsomol'sk may be the boats on offer to India. The previously stricken Pacific Fleet Akula I prototype may have been retrieved for return to service. She was seen aboard a floating transport barge being moved from her Kamchatskiy Peninsula storage facility to the Vladivostok region in the fall of 2002. Lack of funding probably has delayed the expected 2002 launch of the first Project 677-class diesel-electric submarine, the St. Petersburg, but work still is expected to be completed. Although negotiations to build a second boat of the class for the Russian Navy were said to be under way during 2000, there has been no mention of a contract having been signed. Refits for Kilo-class diesel submarines continue, however, with several having been returned to service in the past two years. During 2002, one Northern Fleet Kilo began overhaul and a contract was signed for the refit of two Pacific Fleet units at Komsomol'sk.
Кто-нибудь может прокомментировать?
Новостям этим уже 3 месяца, интересно, что успело измениться.
>А оптимисты тут вообще, на авиабазе, есть?
Нет. Они либо становятся реалистами, либо уходят полностью в политфорум
