Destroyer Restless. Kaliningrad

Here it is, a true defender of the fatherland - 156-meter monster Restless. It is armed with 8 unique (not having analogues in the world) anti-ship missiles such as mosquito, two launchers for anti-aircraft missiles Calm, 130mm two-gun artillery complex long range of 20 km and a lot of things yet. Also, the destroyer can carry aboard the carrier-based helicopter Ka-27.




Destroyers Project 956 - the third generation of destroyers, the last of the developed and implemented projects in the USSR class ships, "the destroyer." Project code - "Buzzard", coded NATO - Sovremenny class destroyer.



Baltic Fleet destroyer "Restless" - a lot of high-speed maneuvering target combat ship designed for anti-submarine warfare, aircraft (including missiles), and enemy ships. The ship is used for the protection and defense of the United ships or convoys in transit, as well as reconnaissance and patrol service, artillery support during landing and staging minefields.



The ship laid to plant them. Zhdanov April 8, 1987, launched on June 9, 1990. February 29, 1992 the ship was raised by St. Andrew's flag.



Technical data:
Power: 100 000 liters. a.
Speed: 18 knot economical 4, 32, 7 assembly complete.
Endurance: 30 days.
The cruising range of 1345 miles at 33 knots, 3,920 miles to 18 knots.
Displacement: 8,000 tons.



AK-130 - the ship's automatic gun caliber 130 mm. Range of up to 23 km.





Since its entry into service until the end of the Cold War destroyers Project 956 intensively exploited in various maritime theaters (from the Barents Sea to the Persian Gulf), actively participated in the combat service of the Soviet Navy, demonstrated the Soviet naval presence in the oceans, including in areas of armed conflict.



With fifteen-tight bulkheads main body is divided into 16 watertight compartments. The main housing structure and foundations and reinforcements made of low-alloy steel. The topside of the housing in the areas of greatest stress concentration applied to the steel sheets with a high yield strength. The aft of the aft engine and boiler room are placed two longitudinal bulkheads, providing increased rigidity aft.



Have mechanisms reload ammunition AK-130 allows without additional commands to release all the ammunition to complete emptying cellars. Project 956 destroyers were the first ships of this class, equipped with these settings.



Also, due to the high rate of gun and the presence of several types of specialized rounds can lead an effective anti-aircraft fire (in the ammunition includes bombs and remote detonators radar).



Ships of the project 956 are typical ships dlinnopolubachnoy design with an S-tion sheer in the bow, providing non sweep the deck, as well as ensuring all corners of the bow artillery shelling installation.





Anti armed destroyers project represented 956 antiship complex "Mosquito" (starting from the destroyer "Restless" establishes an enhanced set of "Mosquito-M" rocket with ZM-82) with two schetvёrennymi nenavodyaschimisya launchers, which are eight anti-ship missiles. Flight range missiles - 120 km (the "Mosquito-M" increased to 170 km), the probability of hitting even in conditions of active jamming is 0, 94-0, 99 coefficient. Marching airspeed - 2, 5-3 Mach starting weight of 3930 kg, warhead weight - 300 kg. Ship Control System (CCS) allows you to carry out the eight volley just 30 seconds.









Combat survivability destroyers Project 956 is provided at the expense allocation steel structures in the body of the ship to the local fire zones cellars ammunition, explosive spaces and compartments of the power plant.



Like all ships of third-generation Project 956 destroyers are not the architectural radar protection. A large number of radar antennas placed on the ships of the project, sections of wall-sided boards and add-ins when navigating "on an even keel," due to reflections from the smooth surface of the sea provide significant value ESR (effective area of ​​scattering). Destroyers of the project are seven times greater ESR than the French frigates of the "Lafayette", but the difference is reduced pitching triple





In a duel situation, "someone who" after discharging from both sides of anti-ship missiles, and in the absence of air cover destroyer project 956 "becomes the master of the situation in dealing with any above-water ship of the world».







Main propulsion ships Project 956 consists of two boiler-turbine units GTZA eshelonnoraspolozhennyh-674 total capacity of 100 000 liters. v., one located in the forward engine room, and the other - to the stern.



In combat mode design capable ships at sea, with 6-point agitation at a speed of up to 24 knots. The height of the wave at the extreme excitement adopted by designers in the 12 meters.



The crew - 296 people in peacetime, and 358 - in the military, from this number, 25 officers and 48 warrant officers, the remaining sailors. And here lies the main headache sailors. The sailors, conscripts as soldiers and army, are the year. Before the period of service in the Navy amounted to three years, then two. All the officers as a claim that the year strongly enough to prepare a specialist on such a technically complex objects, like a warship. Even if a sailor caught sverhodarenny, he can just master their military specialty and immediately goes to the reserve. Exit military sees one - to increase the number of contract.





Over twenty years of service, the ship took on board a lot of presidents, ministers and admirals: it shows the book of honorable guests, located in a cozy officers' wardroom. Among others there is an autograph and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth. And there, among the jewels and gifts, unabashedly dozing cat Tema ship.







On a nearby patrol ship "Yaroslav the Wise", moored next to the "troublesome" and regularly going out to sea trips, serve only sailors contractors. Of course, this is the right decision. The commander of the destroyer hopes that after the renovation and modernization of the "Restless" also will be fully staffed by professionals.
