АПЛ 4-го поколения: Ясень и Борей. Какова ситуация? [2]

АПЛ 4-го поколения: Ясень и Борей. Какова ситуация?

В прямом смысле.

На день ВМФ заложили "Казань", близится ДР СМП и к нему приурочивают закладку "Коли". Есть ли информация что могут приурочить ко дню поплава, дню ВМФ в следующем году?

Кроме того, насколько вероятно получить таки "Северодвинск" в этом году?

Есть основания полагать, что после 1-го декабря мы услышим что-то новое про "Северодвинск"... ... ...

Наконец то Jane's открыл нам все секреты Ясеня и Борея, а то мы, бедные, все гадали.

Displacement, tons: 14,720 surfaced; 19,400 dived
Dimensions, feet (metres): 557.7 × 22.3 × 29.5
(170.0 × 13.5 × 9.0)
Main machinery: Nuclear; 2 VM-5 PWR; 380 MW; 2 GT3A turbines; 60,000 hp(m) (44.8 MW); 2 emergency motors; 517 hp(m) (380 kW); 1 shaft; pump jet propulsor
Speed, knots: 25 dived; 15 surfaced
Complement: 107

Missiles: SLBM: 16 Bulava 30 (R-30); three-stage solid fuel rocket; inertial guidance with stellar and Glonass update to 8,300 km (4,500 n miles); warhead nuclear 6-10 MIRV each of 150 kT; CEP 250 m.
A/S: SAM: To be announced.
SSM: Possible Klub-S (a possible cruise missile capability has also been reported).
Torpedoes: 6-21 in (533 mm) tubes. Combination of torpedoes, A/S missiles and surface-to-surface missiles.
Mines: Could be carried in lieu of torpedoes.
Countermeasures: To be announced.
Weapons control: To be announced.
Radars: Surface search: To be announced.
Sonars: Integrated sonar suite likely to include flank array, towed array, conformal bow array and mine avoidance.


Programmes: The programme was initiated in 1982, but has been frustrated both by funding difficulties and by missile development problems. A first of class was laid down in November 1996, at which stage the plan was to field a new strategic missile SS-NX-28. This missile programme was cancelled in 1998 and construction of the boat was subsequently halted while development of a new missile, a navalised version of the SS-27 Topol-M (known as Bulava 30), was undertaken. A class of eight boats is expected.
Structure: In order to accommodate the smaller Bulava missile, the new submarine class incorporates significant modifications of the original Yuri Dolgoruky. Reportedly, the first of class includes the bow and stern pressure sections and propulsion train of Akula II K 337 Cougar whose construction was halted. Similarly, the second of class Alexander Nevsky (Project 955A) is said to include sections of Akula I K 333 Rhys. These are the first Russian nuclear submarines to be equipped with a pump-jet propulsor. Diving depth 450 m.
Operational: A full test launch of the 'Bulava' missile was conducted on 27 September 2005 from the Typhoon class SSBN, Dmitriy Donskoy and the first submerged launch on 21 December 2005. Unsuccessful tests followed on 7 September, 25 October and 24 December 2006. A further successful test was achieved on 28 June 2007. Tests in 2008 were conducted on 18 September (partial success), 28 November (success) and 23 December (failure). A test on 15 July 2009 was also a failure. Yuri Dolgorukiy began sea trials in mid-2009 and is to be based in the Northern Fleet.

Speed, knots: 28 dived; 17 surfaced
Complement: 80 (30 officers)

Missiles: SLCM/SSM: Novator Alfa SS-N-27.
8 VLS launchers in after casing. Total of 24 missiles.
A/S: SS-N-15. Fired from torpedo tubes.
Torpedoes: 8-21 in (533 mm) tubes. Inclined outwards. Total of about 30 weapons.
Countermeasures: ESM: Radar warning.
Radars: Surface search: I-band.
Sonars: Irtysh Amfora system includes bow-mounted spherical array; passive/active search and attack; low frequency.
Flank and towed arrays; passive; very low frequency.


Programmes: Malakhit design. Confirmed building in 1993. Reported plans were for seven of the class to replace the Victor III class. While it was initially reported that these were to be multipurpose SSNs derived from the Akula II class, delays in the the programme suggest that there has been considerable scope for re-design and/or technical upgrade. Building of the second of class is expected to start in 2009.
Structure: Some of the details given are speculative. VLS launchers for SSMs, canted torpedo tubes and spherical bow sonars are all new to Russian designs.
