Russian military intervention and aid to Syria #2

For years we had to watch the Americans doing this, now finally ours. I think, but not 100%, that this is the first war action by Russian, or from Soviet Navy, since 1945. Guys on those ships must be feeling very proud.

For the caspian flotilla I think yes, for Russian Navy no, Georgians got a glimpse of it. Small but effective.

Land attack variant 3M14T should have quite significant range, by some reports even around 1500km. But each Buyan can carry only 8 of them and only 3 Club capable ships exist in Caspian fleet... Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich and Veliki Ustyug carry them to my knowledge.

Nyet tovarisch , two Gepard class frigates "Dagestan" and "Tatarstan" have Kalibr also

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gepard-class_frigate

only Dagestan i think, 1 from 2

Any ideas why from the Caspian not the Med?

except the ships mentioned above, only Project 22350 and Project 11356 will have Kalibr missiles and these classes havent been commissioned yet. So no that could be in Med has those missiles to fire

Theoretically could Black sea fleet launch them from their two Buyan-M ships and from Kilo submarines.

No, they don't have the range, just plot the course.

On your other answers, the missiles would not have to cross NATO land as Syria has a Med coast and watching the video does not explain why, George1 did that.

It does show how strategically important the Caspian is now in the age of very long range ship launched cruise missiles, especially as the small size of the ships makes them hard to find and destroy.

Since the US decided to get shit faced over there the Caspian has become as strategic as Donbass.

The USN might have a problem showing the flag there

Incredible, I'm witnessing a major geopolitical shift.

Seven decades and four big fleets...and in the end it is little Caspian flotilla that has taken the first scalp...  

Life is strange indeed.

I was also thinking that. Caspian Flotilla the least likely to ever see any action, and now.....

Still rather surprised this did not come from the ships in the Mediterranean

Excellent stuff w.r.t to the Kaliber launch. Loved it.  

Hope atleast now people realise that what Russian Navy needs now are ships that are practical and cost-effective and wish the Russian MoD put effort to accelerate and increase the number of Pr.11661 and Pr.21631. 11661 must be given priority over the pr.20380/5. Russia needs ships and ships in numbers which can strike the adversary hard.

Two 11356 with a a dozen 21631 based out of Tartus is a good strike force to keep away any NATO naval asset and, if needed, to enforce a blockade on Western bound trade from the Suez. Its all for these very strategic options/objectives (choke points) that Syria and Tartus is very important for Russia and I want to see Russia fortify its position in the region. This is the safest and cost-effective way to strike hard western powers without deploying in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf, for which Russian navy currently lacks assets.

The launch would have given a chill to the Saudi's, Turks and obviously the western world barking against Russia. This launch also could be due to the recent propaganda regarding the airspace violation and 'Russian planes coming too near to the US a/c' also.... so from now on the US/NATO will need to be more careful when Russia launch missiles, lest NATO a/c collide with any of those missiles.

More than the US/NATO a/c, US/NATO drones are a threat to Russian a/c due to the possibly of a planned collision with the Russian a/c operating in the region.

I wonder, who will be the first foreign customer for Buyan-M corvettes. This little ship prove to have a very long hand.

Beautiful launch!! Best of luck to the Caspian Flotilla in the future!

Retards shooting with AKs.

The action at Poti that involved Lebedev?

Yes they can but will need to overfly Turkish airspace.

Anyone want to have a rethink on having Amur-950 with 10 x VLS for Klub in the Black sea/Baltic fleet?? The entire load of 10 missiles will be launched in under two minutes from the sub.

Wow, the Buyan-M just highly proved themselves. And having similar amount of armemant as thr much Larger Daegestan (Gepard) really making this ship shine! Medo is right, who will end up being first export customer? Bet many countries that need such small hard hitting ships will get a hard on after this engagement. GJ Russia!

Better to ask who should be.
I would say Syria needs them and DPR Korea in the immediate to near future for obvious reasons.

Hope its not the Latakia perimeter...if it is, the Russians needs to clear the area lest the terrorists manage to slip in few rockets and target the airbase.

That looks like Hama.
