Campaign "Karakurt": new missile ships passed the test by the sea
The Rocket Kids passed an important exam. The newest small missile ships (RTOs) of the 22800 Karakurt project underwent a comprehensive test for the first time. Its results are recognized as successful. During the monthly campaign, the Sovetsk and Mytishchi MRCs proved that they have high autonomy, low visibility, and great fire capabilities. During the maneuvers, the crews conducted training launches of the Caliber and Yakhont Oniks cruise missiles, repelled an air attack and completed a number of other tasks. Experts note that such a long trip was a difficult test for ships with a displacement of 800 tons, but now there is no doubt about the need to continue production of this series
Until today, ships of this class have not spent autonomous navigation for such a long time. And although it was previously stated that the characteristics of RTOs allow them to go on long hikes, this had to be checked in practice. Now, when they passed the exam, there was no doubt that the production of the series should continue, the sources said.
For such small ships as the Karakurt, a month at sea is a difficult test, said Admiral Valentin Selivanov, the former chief of the Main Staff of the Navy.
“For crews, such exercises are a good school,” he said. - The team rallies and is not distracted by extraneous matters. When the ship, as the sailors say, stands near the wall at the base, in the evening officers and sailors go home to their families. At sea, they will not have such an opportunity - there they should be fully focused on combat training.
