Basic fighting qualities
Protection
The case is made of low-magnetic steel and light alloys, and its parts are protected by a special dielectric coating. Sound-emitting mechanisms are also installed on special shock absorbers, the foundations are covered with a damping rubber coating, and the pipelines have flexible inserts. The ship itself is also equipped with anti-nuclear and anti-chemical protection, and it has an air conditioning system for living quarters.
Engines
The power plant has an echelon structure. The power plant includes two light high-speed diesel engines, which are equipped with remote self-adjusting pneumatic control, and three diesel generators. Deck mechanisms are equipped with hydraulic drives. The ship's seaworthiness is not limited; the use of weapons is possible in sea conditions of up to 4 points. The slip device in the stern mechanized the installation and removal of trawls, and in order to reduce the acoustic field of the ship, its main engines were installed on vibration-damping longitudinal beams, and large-diameter propellers with low-noise blades were placed in noise-reducing nozzles.
Armament
The operation of the main systems and most technical means is automated. The minesweepers are equipped with a deep-sea trawl with new control equipment, a trawl for destroying active mines, a three-channel broadband towed television and integrated mine seeker-destroyers, as well as a more advanced Mezen hydroacoustic system, which ensures the detection of bottom mines. The equipment also includes a demagnetization device with general ship and local windings and automatic control, which compensates for the fields of the ship, large mechanisms and eddy currents in the hull during rolling.
To protect against enemy ships, minesweepers were equipped with AK-230M and 2M-3M automatic guns, as well as DShK machine guns. For air defense, MANPADS of the Strela-3 and Igla type with corresponding missiles were supplied, which led to an increase in the length and total displacement of the modernized ship. To detect floating mines in the daytime and at night, there is special electro-optical equipment.
Construction
The lead ship "Semyon Roshal" entered service with the Navy in 1970, and until 1978, a total of 31 ships were built according to this project. Subsequently, a special modification was developed under the code number 266-ME. The good performance of modernized sea minesweepers attracted the attention of a number of foreign customers, who decided to purchase them, subject to taking into account some national characteristics of their use. So, thanks to this, minesweepers were in the navies of Syria, Yemen, Libya and India.

Story:
"Chernigov" U310(until 08/05/1997 "Anti-Gunner"; until 06/14/2004 "Zhovty Voda"):
The project 266M sea minesweeper "Zenitchik" was built in the village of Pontony on Sredne-Nevsky shipyard(serial number 928), entered service on September 10, 1974, became part of Black Sea Fleet.
From 1977 to 1988, the ship repeatedly participated in military service in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Atlantic.
08/05/1997 "Zenitchik" was included in the Naval Forces of Ukraine, received a new name "Yellow Waters" in honor of the Ukrainian city of the same name, with the assignment of the hull number "U310". On June 18, 2004, the ship was renamed Chernigov.
The ship was based in the village of Novoozernoye (Lake Donuzlav).
On March 24, 2014, the flag of the Ukrainian Navy was lowered on the ship, and the flag of the Russian Navy was raised.
"Cherkasy" U311(until 07/25/1997 Scout)
The sea minesweeper "Razvedchik" was built at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard in Leningrad (plant number 950) in 1976.
The ship repeatedly participated in military service in the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Atlantic. Thus, during the period January-August 1990, the Razvedchik MTSH repeatedly carried out combat trawling of mine-prone areas of the Red Sea. Carried out 29 trawl escorts and escorted civil vessels in the Red Sea, a total of 52 vessels. Of these, 11 convoys were carried out under rocket fire from islands occupied by the Eritreans.
On May 14, 1990, in the Red Sea, the tanker International, which was escorted by the Razvedchik MTSH, was attacked by 4 boats equipped with 106-mm recoilless rifles. The minesweeper's sailors opened barrage fire - the stern gun mount, small anti-aircraft artillery and two heavy-caliber DShK machine guns (model 1943) mounted on the rear side of the bridge fired. In addition, machine gunners from the fire countermeasures group entered the battle. Hydroacoustic sergeant major 2nd class Igor Shvets, who fired from a DShK, was wounded in the leg. One boat was blown up by the fire of Petty Officer 1st Article Alexander Nevzrachny. The battle lasted from 4.48 to 4.56, a total of 8 minutes. During this time, the minesweeper used up four and a half of the six tons of ammunition on board.
Based on the results of military service, 17 members of the ship's crew were awarded orders and medals, and the ship itself was awarded the USSR Ministry of Defense Pennant "For Courage".
07/25/1997 "Reconnaissance" was included in the Ukrainian Naval Forces, received a new name "Cherkasy" in honor of the Ukrainian city of the same name, with the assignment of the tail number "U311".
The ship has repeatedly taken part in various international exercises, as well as in gathering cruises of Ukrainian Navy ships.
In March 2014, the Cherkasy TSCH was blocked on the lake. Donuzlav with some other ships of the Ukrainian Navy, ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The offer to surrender was refused. After several days in Donuzlav, the crew decided to storm the sea and leave for Odessa. But it was not possible to do this because... the fairway was blocked by THREE sunken ships, the crew tried to pull one of them away and thereby free the passage, but he failed. The sea minesweeper "Cherkasy" after an attempt to escape from Lake Donuzlav took up defensive positions and remains faithful to its oath.
The commander of the Cherkasy TSC, Captain 3rd Rank Yuri Fedash, will tell you what happened next:
"...At 9 am on March 24, 2014, the ultimatum set by the Russian military expired. The ships "Konstantin Olshansky", "Kirovograd", "Chernigov" went to the quay wall on the orders of the brigade commander. "Cherkassy" refused to carry out such an order ". After this, the command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs removed the brigade commander, and the ships temporarily stopped, and the Konstantin Olshansky moved away from the pier and anchored. However, three hours later, the sea minesweeper Chernigov still went to the pier to hand over the ship . It was followed by the medium landing ship "Kirovograd" - "they did not see the support of the country, the state," the commander of the minesweeper "Cherkassy" later said.
After that, we (continued the commander of the TSC Yuri Fedash), the sea minesweeper "Cherkassy" to the songs "Our proud Varangian does not surrender to the enemy" went to the exit from Lake Donuzlav and tried to pull away one ship in order to free up an exit for ourselves. Since there was not enough power, the ends began to tear, but for about an hour we pulled the ship back. We asked for help from the sea minesweeper "Chernigov" so that we could hold off together, but we were refused."
The situation was escalating every minute, we did not pay attention to it, it did not frighten us. After it was no longer possible to do anything, the ship gave up the ends to avoid running aground. We went to take up defensive positions, anchored and are holding a perimeter defense with the large landing ship Konstantin Olshansky,” Fedash said. He also said that on Friday morning, 2 officers, one midshipman and 9 personnel left the ship and wrote a report on their dismissal. The ship and its crew remain, but not at full strength, but we continue to hold the line. “We are not going to give up. Every crew member said that he did not want to take part in such a shame as surrender...”
On March 25, 2014, after a two-hour assault, the minesweeper "Cherkasy" was captured; it remained the LAST ship of the Ukrainian Navy in Crimea.
Senior miner of the artillery mine-torpedo warhead, senior sailor of the Cherkassy ship Alexander Gutnik, tells how the ship was captured.
"...The pursuit of the sea minesweeper "Cherkassy" by two high-speed boats has begun Russian Federation", he said.
“So far, the sea minesweeper Cherkassy is evading the attackers by maneuvering,” he added.
As of 18:50, the assault on Cherkassy began with the help of two Mi-35 helicopters and three speed boats. “The personnel inside are battened down,” Gutnik added.
According to the head of the media center of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in Crimea, Vladislav Seleznev, the Kovel tugboat is heading towards Cherkasy. According to some information, explosions and shots were heard.
As of 19:18, the seizure continues. “They drove us in and attached an explosive on board,” Gutnik said.
“As of 19:40, the ship’s main rudder control post was out of order,” Gutnik said.
Answering the question whether this happened because of the explosion, he said: “Yes.”
“The Cherkassy ship moved to the emergency steering position,” he added.
As of 20:00, shots and explosions were heard, reports an eyewitness located on the banks of Donuzlav.
"Cherkassy" is the only ship that remains in Crimea with the Ukrainian flag.
As of 20:17, the assault has been going on for more than two hours.
As of 20:30, according to Seleznev, citing an eyewitness who is located on the shore of Donuzlav, the Kovel tugboat is pulling the Cherkasy sea minesweeper towards the 5th military camp. The smell of smoke hangs over the lake. Gutnik's phone doesn't answer.
As of January 21, we managed to contact Gutnik. “That’s it. We were captured. None of the crew members were hurt. We weren’t beaten, everything is fine,” said Gutnik...”
Thus, the Ukrainian Naval Forces in Crimea ceased to exist.

PHOTO REPORT: SEA TRIALS OF THE SEA MINESWEEPER “KOVROVETS”. 12/25/2015 
On December 25, 2015, the sea minesweeper "Kovrovets" went to sea from Sevastopol for sea trials.
The Navodchik sea minesweeper was built at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard (plant No. 929) in 1973. The naval flag on the ship was raised on November 21, 1974. It became part of the Black Sea Fleet.
Since July 1982, the ship received the name “Kursk Komsomolets”.
The sea minesweeper participated in the protection of Soviet fishing vessels in fishing areas in the Atlantic off the coast of West Africa, and also solved the problems of mine countermeasures for Soviet shipping in the Persian Gulf in conditions when the Iran-Iraq war continued. During its first trip to the Persian Gulf in 1987 (196 days), the minesweeper Kursk Komsomolets conducted 16 convoys (27 Soviet ships) through mine-prone areas, covering 17,900 miles. And in 1988, he guided 32 tankers and vehicles through mine-prone areas of the Persian Gulf. 14 crew members of this ship were awarded orders and medals.
After the breakup Soviet Union On February 15, 1992, the minesweeper was returned to its original name. And on July 25, 1999, the sea minesweeper received its new name - “Kovrovets”.
The minesweeper was part of the 418th minesweeper division of the 68th brigade of OVR ships based in the South Bay of Sevastopol.
From 2006 to 2007 underwent repairs at the shipyard in Streletskaya Bay (Sevastopol).
Currently, it is part of the 149th tactical group of anti-submarine ships of the 68th brigade of OVR ships.
VTS "BASTION", 01/10/2016
Designed at TsKB-363 (later Western Design Bureau, which became part of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsMKB (Almaz)) under the leadership of chief designer N.P. Pegova. These ships were the first domestic sea minesweepers that had minimal physical fields of their own. Minesweepers were intended to guide ships and vessels behind trawls, reconnaissance and control trawling, laying fairways in minefields, and participating in mine laying in the far zone from their bases.
The ship's hull was made of low-magnetic steel grade 45G17Yu3, assembled using a longitudinal system, and had an extended forecastle and a second bottom. The foundations of the main engines, many mechanisms, weapons, devices and equipment of the ship were also made in a low-magnetic design. Doors, hatches and their coamings, ladders, railings, numerous fenders, etc. were made of light aluminum-magnesium alloys (AMG). To reduce the acoustic field of the ship, the following were used: sound insulation using shock absorbers, covering the foundations of the main mechanisms and engine room bulkheads with a vibration-damping rubber coating, sound-insulating flexible inserts in pipelines, systems and points of connection to mechanisms (in particular, the shaft line to the power take-off flange of the main engine), the use of low-noise large-diameter adjustable-pitch propellers with relatively high rotation speeds. For the first time in domestic practice, special measures were envisaged to reduce low-frequency electromagnetic and electric (dielectric coatings of equipment in contact with sea water, electrical insulation of sea-bottom fittings, shaft lines from the hull, etc.) fields. The ship was equipped with anti-nuclear and anti-chemical protection. The ship's control instruments were placed in the conning tower and on the open navigation bridge. For setting and hauling trawls, two trawl cranes, a 3-drum winch and a fairlead were provided.
Unsinkability was ensured by dividing the hull into 9 compartments by waterproof bulkheads:
- Spire, artillery ammunition cellar, spare parts storeroom, bilge compartment (frames 5-13);
- Corridor No. 1, officer's cabins, latrine, officer's shower room, aggregate medicinal station, dry provisions pantry, refrigeration vehicle room and reefer chamber (frame 13-22);
- Corridor No. 2, cockpit No. 1, officer's cabins, wardroom, foremen's cabins, fender shaft, hydroacoustic compartment, gyropost (frame 22 - 36);
- Personnel canteen, dishwasher, bow engine room (36 - 51 frames);
- Corridor No. 3, PEJ, galley, aft engine room, personnel locker room, personnel shower, latrine, washbasin (frames 51 - 66);
- View room, cockpit No. 2, control propeller compartment (frame 66 - 78);
- Mine storeroom, mine-sweeping ammunition enclosure, wet provisions storeroom, hydraulic unit room (frame 78 - 85);
- Tiller compartment (85 - 100 frames);
The steering machine was hydraulic with the Albatross control system, provided for simple, follow-up and automatic modes control with one rudder feather.
The deck mechanisms (winch, view, beam cranes) had hydraulic drives, which, along with ensuring a decrease in the level of the ship’s physical fields, made it possible to obtain mechanisms with a large range of smooth speed control. Oil was supplied to the hydraulic system of the deck mechanisms from three pumping units.
Life-saving equipment included one six-oared yawl, six life rafts of the PSN-10 type (for 10 people each), life buoys and individual life jackets.
The power plant is mechanical, two-shaft, with two M503B diesel gear units with a power of 2500 hp each. each at a rotation speed of 1780 rpm, located one in the bow and one in the aft engine rooms (MO). The engine life before the first overhaul was 3,500-4,000 hours, and the full life was up to 10,000 hours. The units provided forward, reverse and idle speed, transmitting rotation to two adjustable pitch screws of the VR-266 type. The propeller pitch was changed by a hydraulic system. Provision was made for remote control of units and propeller propellers from engine control posts and from the main gearbox. The full speed of the minesweeper was 16 knots and up to 14 knots with one trawl. An auxiliary boiler provided steam for household needs.
The three-phase alternating current electrical power system with a voltage of 380 V and a frequency of 50 Hz received power from two DG-200 diesel generators with a power of 200 kW each, located one in the bow and one in the aft engine room (MO). The minesweeper had one diesel generator DG-100 with a power of 100 kW.
The ships' armament consisted of:
- Of 2 bomb releasers in the stern and 36 depth charges BB-1. Total weight the large depth charge was 165 kg, and the weight of TNT was 135 kg with a length of 712 mm and a diameter of 430 mm. The immersion speed reached 2.5 m/s, and the damage radius ranged from 8 to 20 meters. The bomb provided an explosion depth setting from 10 to 210 meters.
- From 1 electromagnetic trawl TEM-2, for the destruction of magnetic and induction non-contact mines. A trawl with a large radius of action was used at trawling speeds of up to 14 knots and sea waves of up to 4 points. Electromagnetic trawl control devices could provide any form of tension magnetic field and synchronous operation with an acoustic trawl.
- From 1 acoustic trawl AT-3 for the destruction of acoustic bottom mines. It was an acoustic emitter mounted in a deepening device. A trawl with a wide range of action is used when the sea state is up to 4 points. The trawl towing speed ranges from 9 to 14 knots.
For setting and hauling trawls, two trawl cranes, a 3-drum winch, a fairlead and a trawl view are provided.
The fire control system of the universal 30-mm artillery consisted of:
- From the artillery fire control device (FACD) MR-104 "Lynx" which included:
- automatic firing machine (calculating and solving device), which, based on incoming data from the tracking radar MR-104 "Lynx", provided vertical and horizontal aiming angles for the bow and stern installations of 30 mm caliber.
- Equipment for selection of moving targets and noise protection.
- The target was detected and tracked by the MR-104 Lynx firing radar.
The ships were equipped with the Don navigation radar, Nichrome state identification equipment, MG-69 Lan sonar, Khmel infrared night vision equipment, ME-5 electro-optical night vision equipment (Trombone), a demagnetization device (DE) and smoke MDS checkers.
The "Don" navigation radar of the 3-centimeter wave range was intended to illuminate the navigation situation and solve navigation problems and made it possible to determine the range to a cruiser-type target of up to 25 km and to an air target of up to 50 km with an all-round view. The radar antenna post is located on the tops of the masts; the antenna rotation frequency is 11-16 rpm. The indicator uses a CRT with a screen diameter of 310 mm. The station is activated from a completely switched off state in 5 minutes.
The state identification system is represented by two RAS - the interrogator “Nickel” with device 082 and the transponder “Chrome”. RAS "Nichrome" allows you to identify surface and air targets to determine their belonging to your armed forces. Two antennas are located on the mast.
Infrared night vision equipment "Khmel" made it possible to carry out covert communication in the dark, with ships completely darkened, as well as to observe and find direction of infrared lights. The continuous operation time of the device was 20 hours, the direction finding range was up to 3.7 km, and the distance determination was up to 750 meters. The system operated from a 27 V DC network.
The lead minesweeper MT-86 entered service Pacific Fleet in 1963.

Sea minesweepers project 266M "Aquamarine"
- this is a modernized version with the ability to search and destroy bottom mines, a modified hull, radio engineering, mine action and artillery weapons. Chief designer of the project T.D. Pokhodun, then N.P. Pegov, chief observer from the Navy, captain 2nd rank V.T. Kuzmin.
The ship's hull received changes in the contours and configuration of the stern. The stern was made of a slip type, equipped with rotating rollers and a rotating frame, which made it possible to more mechanize the installation and removal of trawls, as well as ensure greater safety for the trawl crew when working with trawls. The lines of the superstructure have changed, with the advent of a longitudinally located false pipe appearance has become more attractive and aesthetically pleasing. The propellers were placed in guide nozzles rigidly connected to the ship's hull, which led to a decrease in the level of the acoustic field. The attachments gave additional emphasis to the propellers, and the deterioration in controllability (especially in reverse) was fully compensated by the installation of two rudders. In addition, to reduce the level of the acoustic field, an air supply was provided to the nozzles (noise reduction system (OSH)) and the installation of counter-propellers on the propeller hubs.
Unsinkability was ensured by dividing the hull into 11 compartments by waterproof bulkheads:
- Forepeak, chain box, paint store (0-5 frames);
- Shpilevaya, artillery ammunition cellar, spare parts storeroom No. 1, electromechanical storeroom (5-12 frames);
- Corridor No. 1, officer's cabins, latrine, officer's shower room, aggregate medicinal station, dry provisions pantry, refrigerated vehicle room and reefer chamber (12-20 frame);
- Corridor No. 2, cockpit No. 1, officer's cabins, wardroom, foremen's cabins, fender shaft, hydroacoustic compartment, spare parts room No. 2, utility block (20 - 35 frames);
- Corridor No. 3, midshipmen's cabin, cockpit No. 2, gyropost (frame 35 - 43);
- Personnel canteen, dishwasher, arsenal, bow engine room (43 - 57 frames);
- Corridor No. 4, PEZH, galley, auxiliary machinery compartment (frames 57 - 63);
- Corridor No. 5, personnel locker room, personnel shower, latrine, washbasin, laundry, bathhouse, duty room, aft engine room (frame 63 - 78);
- View room, cockpit No. 3, control propeller compartment (frame 78 - 90);
- Mine storeroom, mine-sweeping ammunition enclosure, wet provisions storeroom, hydraulic unit room (frame 90 - 102);
- Tiller compartment (frame 102 - 112).
Deck mechanisms (winch, view, beam cranes) had hydraulic drives. Instead of conventional davits, gravity davits with an LGSh-2 hydraulic winch were installed, which ensured fast and smooth lowering of the boat.
The steering gear was hydraulic with the Dolphin control system and provided for simple, tracking and remote-automatic control modes for two rudders. It was planned to install computing device(MVU) to solve problems of navigation and tactical maneuvering associated with the autopilot and allowing maneuvering, in particular divergence from ships, in automatic mode.
The power plant is mechanical, two-shaft, with two M503B diesel gear units with a power of 2500 hp each. and two-stage shock absorption at a rotation speed of 1780 rpm, located one in the bow and one in the aft engine room (MO). The engine life before the first overhaul was 3,500-4,000 hours, and the full life was up to 10,000 hours. The units provided forward, reverse and idle speed, transmitting rotation to two adjustable pitch propellers of the VR-266K type. The propeller pitch was changed by a hydraulic system. Provided for remote separate control of units and CV propellers from the bow and stern control posts of engines and CV propellers with main gearbox, as well as shared management units and control propellers according to a special program for combining engine speed and pitch position of the control propeller (with one handle), using a new electro-pneumatic system remotely automatic control Main thruster and propeller propeller "Dolphin". The full speed of the minesweeper was 17 knots and up to 14 knots with one trawl. The auxiliary boiler provided steam for household needs and, using refrigeration machines, provided year-round air conditioning for residential, office premises and combat posts. The ventilation system included air coolers and air heaters, which were supplied with cold from refrigeration machines in the summer and steam from the auxiliary boiler unit in the winter.
The ships' armament consisted of:
- Of 2 twin 30-mm AK-230 assault rifles with a barrel length of 71.3 calibers, located one on the tank and one in the stern. The installations were used to destroy boats, air and low-flying targets, as well as to destroy detected mines. The rate of fire of the installation was 1000 rounds/min. on the trunk. The vertical guidance angle is from -12 to +87°, and the horizontal guidance is up to 180°. The initial projectile speed is 1060 m/s, the firing range is up to 5 km. The machine guns are powered by a belt, each barrel contains 500 rounds of ammunition. Firing is carried out in bursts of up to 100 shots per barrel, after which cooling is required for 15-20 minutes. Shooting is allowed until the ammunition is used up (500 rounds) with breaks every 100 shots for 15-20 seconds. After this, the barrel needs to be replaced and the machine repaired. The crew of the gun included 2 people. The machines had a system remote control from PUAO "Lynx" with the tracking radar MR-104 "Lynx" and from two local sighting posts "Kolonka". Installation weight 1,926 kg.
- Of 2 twin turret 25-mm machine guns 2M-3M with a long barrel of 79 calibers, located on the side in the middle part of the hull. The barrels are cooled by air when firing. When replacing magazines, water was supplied to the barrels through a hose with a nozzle from the breech for cooling. Cooling time with water is at least 15 seconds. The sighting device of the installation consisted of a mechanical ring sight mounted on a parallelogram mechanism. It provided firing at air and surface targets. The machine guns were loaded by belt; a belt of 65 rounds was placed in a round magazine. The rate of fire of the installation was 480 rounds/min. on the trunk. The vertical guidance angle is from -10 to +85°, and the horizontal guidance is up to 120°. The initial projectile speed is 850 m/s, the firing range is up to 3 km.

During the construction of the ships, changes and improvements were made to the project. So, starting in 1974, instead of crane beams of the KBG-2 type, “folding crane beams” of the KBG-5 type began to be installed on the ships of the project, which gave an even more aesthetic appearance to the ship. Changes were also made to the controllable pitch propeller by installing blocking valves of the hydraulic system on the oil inlets of the control propeller, which make it possible to keep the control propeller blades in the position of a given pitch in the event of a drop in oil pressure in the system (when the ship loses power, failure of the control propeller pump, loss of oil). This also made it possible to deactivate the control propeller pumps at constant speed conditions in order to save their resource. On ships of the project that do not have such devices, in cases of power failure, failure of the CV propeller pump, loss of oil on the move and during moorings, the CV propeller blades became in the full reverse position, creating in narrow areas there are prerequisites for navigational accidents (landing on piers and ships, groundings).
