The Russian Black Sea fleet has carried out a successful test of its new-generation Bastion coastal defense system, as part of naval exercises Moscow says were pre-scheduled and not timed to coincide with the current NATO drills in the basin.
The Defense Ministry said that 15 ships, over 10 planes and helicopters, and coastal guns took part in scheduled drills out of Sevastopol on Tuesday. The centerpiece was a demonstration of the post-Soviet Bastion – NATO call sign SSC-5 “Stooge” – anti-ship cruise missile complex.
“The target practice in the firing range to the south-east of Sevastopol was carried out by the cutting-edge Bastion complex. The targets, which symbolized a navy squadron, were also attacked by four Su-24 jets. All missiles hit targets, which were destroyed,” said a statement from the Defense Ministry.
- While Moscow insists that the format of the exercises had been planned in advance, they come one day after a controversial incident that ratcheted up tensions in the Black Sea, which is bordered by Crimea and Ukraine in the north.

El submarino nuclear ruso Vladímir Monomaj prueba con éxito el misil Bulava...
ReplyDeleteSegún el programa de pruebas, Vladímir Monomaj realizó un lanzamiento en estado sumergido desde su posición en el Mar Blanco. El misil impactó con éxito su blanco en el polígono de Kura en Kamchatka (región del Oriente Lejano de Rusia). El vuelo del misil siguió los parámetros previstos sin eventos supernumerarios, afirmó el portavoz del Ministerio de Defensa de Rusia, el general de división Ígor Konashenkov.
El lanzamiento fue seguido en la nave por los miembros de la comisión estatal de admisión de Vladímir Monomaj, ya que el lanzamiento forma parte del programa de pruebas de la nave antes de su entrada en servicio en la Armada rusa. Según Konashenkov, la comisión calificó el lanzamiento y el aprendizaje de la tripulación de "adecuados y profesionales".
Para el submarino fue el primer lanzamiento de un Bulava. El misil balístico intercontinental —para el que esta prueba fue la número 20— será el arma principal de todos los buques del proyecto Boréi. Vladímir Monomaj es el tercer submarino del proyecto, que comprende los principales submarinos estratégicos de Rusia.
Los Boréi cuentan con una tripulación de 107 marineros, son capaces de alcanzar una velocidad de 54 kilómetros por hora y una profundidad de 450 metros. Además, tienen una reserva de autonomía de 100 días.
