Patrol boats “Tarantula. Missile boat - small missile ship Description of the missile boat pr 205

Border patrol boats of the Tarantul class, known in the NATO classification as Stenka, occupy a special place in the history of the Russian fleet. Project 205P (border) inherited best qualities their predecessors: from sea “hunters” of submarines - full speed, and from patrol ships - autonomy and seaworthiness.

From the late 60s to the end of the 80s, the naval units of the border troops of the KGB of the USSR received a large number of small but seriously armed ships capable of both long-term patrols in the maritime economic zone and the search and destruction of enemy submarines.

In Russia, the first specialized border patrol boats (PSKR) appeared in 1904, when the New York company Flint&K° proposed to build a series of coastal defense boats for the Russian Imperial Navy by the famous American engineer Lewis Nixon.

The author of the project emphasized the main advantage of these 35-ton boats with a shallow draft and high speed in the presence of the latest, at that time, gasoline engines, the advantage of which over steam engines was the production of more power in comparison with the latter, as well as a smaller number of crew. A total of 9 Nixon boats were built by order of the Coastal Defense Committee to protect seaports and minefields.

The next most successful border boats were the “” submarines of the MO-4 type and the “big hunters” of Project 122A, developed in the 30s. These patrol boats performed well in combat during the Great Patriotic War. Patriotic War. However, the emergence of new technical and strategic concepts of warfare at sea no longer met the requirements of modern times. Therefore, in the first post-war ten-year program of 1946-1955, the Soviet Union began the construction of adjusted projects and the creation of new transitional types of ships.

Back in 1944, Gorky TsKB-51 began developing an improved large patrol boat of Project 122bis with enhanced weapons, more advanced radar and hydroacoustic stations, as well as an increased cruising range.

To replace small hunters of the MO-4 type, Project 183P and 199 were developed based on the hull and power plant torpedo boat project 183 "Bolshevik". Between 1954 and 1955, fifty-two patrol boats were built at Plant No. 5 in Leningrad.

However, the anti-submarine officers did not like the Project 199 boats. high speed At full speed, these ships had a very short cruising range at low speeds, which was a serious drawback, since the search for submarines was carried out precisely at these speeds. This imperfection was a consequence of the adoption for MO-4 of the planing contours of the Project 183 torpedo boat hull. This and other flaws led to the limited construction of these patrol boats with their subsequent transfer to naval units of the border troops. The first post-war specially designed sea submarine hunters were Project 201 boats.

A further step in the development of Project 201 was the creation of a small anti-submarine ship of Project 204 with an original propulsion system. But the practice of creating border boats based on sea hunters, large hunters and patrol boats, formed since the pre-war years, was not implemented in Project 204. The naval units of the border troops needed a special ship with improved characteristics.

border patrol boat project 205

Based on a very successful case missile boat project 205, a border patrol boat was created according to project 205P “Tarantul”. The tactical and technical specifications for the development of the Project 205P PSKR were issued by the Almaz design bureau in 1963. The border boat was created in a hull with power plant missile boat of Project 205 and differed from the latter in the composition of its weapons and more developed superstructure. Instead of P-15 anti-ship cruise missiles, four single-tube 400 mm torpedo tubes for firing anti-submarine torpedoes and two bomb releasers were installed. Two GAS “Hercules” and “Bronze” were added to the radio-technical weapons. In total, under the 205P project, from 1967 to 1981, 117 boats were built by the naval units of the Border Troops and the USSR Navy. Also, border boats of the Tarantul type of Project 205PE were exported to Cuba and Cambodia.

The hull of the border boat is made of steel and has special contour shapes in the bow and stern. As practice has shown, this contributed to the improvement of seaworthiness, and also provided the ability to use the weapon in sea conditions of up to 4 points and a wave height of 2 meters at speeds of up to 30 knots - without restrictions. The superstructure is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy. To make the superstructure more durable, its outer walls are made in corrugated form, the cavities of which are filled with non-flammable and non-toxic heat and sound insulating materials. To ensure that the hull of the border boat does not deform when entering a large wave, a so-called “stretchable seam” was used in its stern.

The power plant is based on three high-speed diesel engines of the M-504B type, four-stroke, supercharged and reversible freewheels with built-in gearboxes, each operating on its own shaft. The power of one motor is 5000 hp. at 2000 rpm of the crankshaft. In terms of their characteristics, M-504 diesel engines have no equal, both among domestic manufacturers and foreign models. The power plant is controlled by the Orion-2C system. The preparation time for the main engines for start-up is 1 minute. The time for developing full speed in emergency mode from the “ship stopped” position is about two minutes. The boat is controlled automatically and manual mode using an emergency drive to the afterpeak.

The auxiliary equipment of the patrol boat includes life-saving equipment - inflatable life rafts. They are standardly located on the left side of the superstructure and can accommodate the entire crew of the boat. In addition, a Project 1397 speedboat is available for inspection teams.

The main armament of the Project 205P border boat is anti-submarine 400 mm torpedoes fired from four 400 mm single-tube torpedo tubes that are not aimed.

In addition to torpedo weapons, Tarantula-class boats can be armed with two removable bomb dispensers, each of which can accept up to 6 depth charges weighing 160 kg each. In addition, the Project 205P PSKR is armed with two AK-230 artillery mounts of 30 mm caliber with remote guidance. These complexes are located in the diametrical plane at the bow and stern of the ship, which provides the greatest horizontal firing angles. The rate of fire of one machine gun is at least 1000 rounds per minute. Power: continuous, belt, from a magazine with a capacity of 500 shots per barrel. Firing control is carried out by the MP-104 “Vimpel” system - in automatic and manual mode from the sighting column.

The Baklan radar station, which was put into service in 1959, provides illumination of the underwater situation. The detection range of air targets is 300 km, surface targets - up to 35 km. The navigation situation is provided by the Xenon radar with a target detection range of up to 10 km. Hydroacoustic weapons are represented on the Project 205P boat by the Hercules hydroacoustic antenna, the detection range of underwater targets in noise direction finding modes is from 2 to 3.5 km, and the Bronze lowering antenna with a detection range of underwater targets from 2 to 8 km.

Due to their large number, the patrol boats of the Tarantul project received a number of modifications. In 1970, the AK-225 artillery boat was built at the Primorsky Plant in Leningrad as an experiment under Project 205 PE (patrol, escort). This boat had a modified superstructure and navigation bridge; the ship was armed with an AK-725 and AK-630 artillery mount. In 1977, instead of the AK-725, an experimental AK-157 artillery mount was installed, which showed insufficient artillery fire power during ship tests, and therefore did not go into serial construction.

The artillery boat “Batumi” of the Georgian Navy, received after the division of the USSR Navy, can also be called a modification.

The patrol boat "Tarantul" had dismantled AK-230 artillery guns. In their place, two 37 mm 70-K machine guns from the Great Patriotic War were installed.

border patrol boat "Nikolaev"

In April 1987, on the Primorsky slipway shipyard production association"Almaz" was laid down as a border patrol ship with serial number 210. Exactly a year later, on April 10, 1988, the border patrol boat was launched and, after completion of construction in June 1988, successfully passed on the Krasnogorsk measuring line sea ​​trials. The date of signing the acceptance certificate is June 28, 1988. On July 14, 1988, the flag of the border troops of the KGB of the USSR was raised on PSKR-722, after which from July 26 to August 20, the boat made the transition along inland waterways from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, where it was included in the 5th separate patrol brigade ships of the KGB Border Troops stationed in Sevastopol, Balaklava Bay. From this day on, after passing all the course tasks, PSKR-722 took over the protection of the economic zone of the USSR in the northern part of the Black Sea. Over the years of its maritime service, PSKR has repeatedly stopped poaching fish.

On August 8, 1995, in order to revive maritime traditions, by order of the Chairman of the State Committee - Commander of the Border Troops of Ukraine No. 314 PSKR-722 was named “Nikolaev”. Also on account of the border patrol boat “Nikolaev” was the rescue of the fishing seiner “Aragon”. In February 2000, maritime border guards left their deployment site in a matter of minutes and managed to rescue and tow a fishing seiner, which was only 50 meters away from the rocks. None of the fishermen were injured. The combat watch of the PSKR "Nikolaev" continues.

Speaking about the Tarantula project, their commanders unanimously express a positive assessment of these ships. Everyone notes high reliability, controllability, seaworthiness and good living conditions. Of course, these patrol boats were examples of advanced technology of their time. In fact, the ship with a small displacement was armed with a small anti-submarine ship of Project 204 and therefore could safely take on an enemy submarine. The border boat has a successfully configured air defense system, thanks to which ships of this project are quite capable of escorting small convoys, landing and supporting tactical landings. The disadvantages of the 205P project include the weak range of the radar and sonar, as well as the short service life of the M-504 diesel engines. In conclusion, it should be noted that the Tarantula was conceived as a specialized ship to combat violators of the territorial waters of the USSR. As the experience of the services has shown, this goal has been achieved.

The missile boat pr. 205 (code "Moskit") was developed by TsKB-5 (currently TsMKB "Almaz") in 1955-1958. under the leadership of E.I. Yukhnin, and then A.P. Gorodyanko. When creating the boat, due to the lack of analogues in the world shipbuilding, designers were forced for the first time to solve such problems as: determining the impact of the gas jet of starting engines on ship structures, deck equipment, air intake shafts, etc.; definition permissible limits and necessary restrictions on the simultaneous use of missiles and artillery weapons; ensuring the simultaneous launch of all four missiles and electromagnetic compatibility of the RTS.

The hull of the boat was made of steel (steel SHL-45, thickness from 5 to 8 mm), with combined contours (high chine at the bow and sharp chine at the stern), which made it possible to provide it with the required seaworthiness and the ability to use cruise ships in sea conditions up to 4 points without restrictions by speed, as well as with waves up to 5 points at a speed of up to 30 knots. The hull is divided into 10 compartments by waterproof bulkheads.

Unsinkability is ensured when any two adjacent compartments are flooded. The power plant is based on three seven-eight block (six cylinders in each block) radial diesel engines, which had small dimensions and weights for that time. However, these engines turned out to be unreliable and had a short service life. Moreover, at the base sites, only unit replacement of engines was possible, and their repairs were carried out at the manufacturer.

Boats of Project 205 had the following modifications: Project 205U, Project 205T; pr. 205Mod. pr. 205E pr. 205EK B; Project 205ER and Project 2054. On the basis of Project 205 the following were created: torpedo boats Project 206M (code “Storm”); missile boats pr. 206MR (code "Vikhr") and PSKR pr. 205P (code "Tarantul"). In addition, in the same hull, but with a modified power plant, the target boat Project 1392KTs and the target driver boat Project 1392V were created.

The boat pr. 205U (chief designer A.P. Gorodyanko), in contrast to the basic project, was armed with an improved P-15U missile, which had wings that folded and automatically unfolded after launch, which made it possible to place them in compact containers rather than bulky ones. The R-84 missile boat had a hull made of double-layer steel (KD-2). One layer was made of ordinary steel and the other of stainless steel.

In 1968, at the Primorsky Shipyard, one of the boats of Project 205U was modernized according to Project 205T(). The ship was equipped with P-15M missiles of the Termit complex, which had twice the firing range of the P-15U. In the period from 1971 to 1976, 10 boats of Project 205U were modernized at the Primorsky Shipyard (6 units) and the Vladivostok Shipyard (4 units) along Project 205 Mod. with the replacement of P-15U missiles with P-15M.

At the end of the 1970s, one of the boats of Project 205U (R-161) was modernized according to Project 205EM. For experimental purposes, the Gals radar and the Harpoon radar with a new lattice mast were placed on it. A similar RTV was supposed to be installed on new generation missile boats, Project 12411 (code “Molniya”).

In 1963, an experimental boat, Project 205E, with a bow hydrofoil (NPK) and a controlled transom plate was built at the Primorsky Shipyard, which ensured a speed of up to 50 knots in calm water and up to 36 knots in waves up to 5 points. In addition, this ship was armed with a new P-25 cruise missile system with a firing range of up to 40 km. This complex was not adopted for service, since its combat capabilities were practically no different from the complex with P-15U missiles.

The wing complex used on the boat Project 205E was used in Project 206M, Project 206MR and Project 205EKB.

In 1963, also at the Primorsky Shipyard, a boat, Project 2054, was built with an experimental electrical power system using alternating current with a frequency of 400 Hz.

The boat pr. 205EKB, built at the Primorsky Shipyard, was created as a model towing ship and had no weapons. It was equipped with a bow hydrofoil and a controlled transom plate (like Project 205E). Another modification of Project 205 was the boat Project 205ER, which was specifically intended for sale for export and had equipment adapted for operation in tropical conditions.

The construction of boats of all modifications was carried out using the flow-position method. The hull moved from one slipway position to another, undergoing a strictly regulated amount of work at each of them with mandatory acceptance by quality control and quality control departments, without which it was not allowed to move to the next position.

In total, from 1960 to 1975, at three shipyards (Primorsky, Vladivostok and Rybinsk) for the Soviet fleet, 177 RK Project 205 of various modifications were built: at the Primorsky Shipyard 89 ships (19 units on Project 205Y, of which 13 for sales for export, one for Project 2054, one for Project 205EKB, and the rest for Project 205); at the Vladivostok Shipyard there are 41 ships (4 units on Project 205ER, ordered by the Indonesian government, but included in the Soviet Navy, 13 units on Project 205U, and the rest on Project 205); at the Rybinsk Shipyard 47 on Project 205. Of the 177 boats, about 100 units (according to various estimates from 95 to 107) were sold abroad. In addition, from 1973 to 1984, 87 boats were built at the Rybinsk Shipyard according to Project 205ER. The latter were also built in China using Soviet technology and are known as the Huangfen type (type 021).

The main disadvantage of the RK pr. 205 and its modifications, which emerged by the end of the 1960s, in particular in local conflicts, was the weakness of artillery weapons, since the 30-mm AU AK-230, due to its short firing range, turned out to be ineffective in the fight against planes and helicopters, as well as in artillery duels with enemy boats, usually armed with 40-mm machine guns (and since the early 1970s, 76-mm rapid-fire guns). This circumstance forced the deployment of the Strela-2 (later Strela-3) MANPADS on Soviet boats, Project 205 and Project 205U, and in 1977, the construction of the Project 206MR RK with the 76-mm AK-176 gun began. By the end of the 1970s, Project 205 boats became obsolete, they began to be gradually withdrawn from the Soviet fleet and sold abroad or dismantled for metal.

(18*) According to other sources, the modernization took place along Project 205M.

As of December 2001, not a single Project 205 boat remained in the fleet.

The missile boat pr. 205 (code "Moskit") was developed by TsKB-5 (currently TsMKB "Almaz") in 1955-1958. under the leadership of E.I. Yukhnin, and then A.P. Gorodyanko. When creating the boat, due to the lack of analogues in the world shipbuilding, designers were forced for the first time to solve such problems as: determining the impact of the gas jet of starting engines on ship structures, deck equipment, air intake shafts, etc.; determination of permissible limits and necessary restrictions on the simultaneous use of missile and artillery weapons; ensuring the simultaneous launch of all four missiles and electromagnetic compatibility of the RTS.

The hull of the boat was made of steel (steel SHL-45, thickness from 5 to 8 mm), with combined contours (high chine at the bow and sharp chine at the stern), which made it possible to provide it with the required seaworthiness and the ability to use cruise ships in sea conditions up to 4 points without restrictions by speed, as well as with waves up to 5 points at a speed of up to 30 knots. The hull is divided into 10 compartments by waterproof bulkheads.

Unsinkability is ensured when any two adjacent compartments are flooded. The power plant is based on three seven-eight block (six cylinders in each block) radial diesel engines, which had small dimensions and weights for that time. However, these engines turned out to be unreliable and had a short service life. Moreover, at the base sites, only unit replacement of engines was possible, and their repairs were carried out at the manufacturer.

Boats of Project 205 had the following modifications: Project 205U, Project 205T; pr. 205Mod.\ pr. 205E\ pr. 205EK B; Project 205ER and Project 2054. On the basis of Project 205 the following were created: torpedo boats Project 206M (code “Storm”); missile boats pr. 206MR (code "Vikhr") and PSKR pr. 205P (code "Tarantul"). In addition, in the same hull, but with a modified power plant, the target boat Project 1392KTs and the target driver boat Project 1392V were created.

The boat pr. 205U (chief designer A.P. Gorodyanko), in contrast to the basic project, was armed with an improved P-15U missile, which had wings that folded and automatically unfolded after launch, which made it possible to place them in compact containers rather than bulky hangars. The R-84 missile boat had a hull made of double-layer steel (KD-2). One layer was made of ordinary steel and the other of stainless steel.

In 1968, at the Primorsky Shipyard, one of the boats of Project 205U was modernized according to Project 205T(). The ship was equipped with P-15M missiles of the Termit complex, which had twice the firing range of the P-15U. In the period from 1971 to 1976, 10 boats of Project 205U were modernized at the Primorsky Shipyard (6 units) and the Vladivostok Shipyard (4 units) along Project 205 Mod. with the replacement of P-15U missiles with P-15M.

At the end of the 1970s, one of the boats of Project 205U (R-161) was modernized according to Project 205EM. For experimental purposes, the Gals radar and the Harpoon radar with a new lattice mast were placed on it. A similar RTV was supposed to be installed on new generation missile boats, Project 12411 (code “Molniya”).

In 1963, an experimental boat, Project 205E, with a bow hydrofoil (NPK) and a controlled transom plate was built at the Primorsky Shipyard, which ensured a speed of up to 50 knots in calm water and up to 36 knots in waves up to 5 points. In addition, this ship was armed with a new P-25 cruise missile system with a firing range of up to 40 km. This complex was not adopted for service, since its combat capabilities were practically no different from the complex with P-15U missiles.

The wing complex used on the boat Project 205E was used in Project 206M, Project 206MR and Project 205EKB.

In 1963, also at the Primorsky Shipyard, a boat, Project 2054, was built with an experimental electrical power system using alternating current with a frequency of 400 Hz.

The boat pr. 205EKB, built at the Primorsky Shipyard, was created as a model towing ship and had no weapons. It was equipped with a bow hydrofoil and a controlled transom plate (like Project 205E). Another modification of Project 205 was the boat Project 205ER, which was specifically intended for sale for export and had equipment adapted for operation in tropical conditions.

The construction of boats of all modifications was carried out using the flow-position method. The hull moved from one slipway position to another, undergoing a strictly regulated amount of work at each of them with mandatory acceptance by quality control and quality control departments, without which it was not allowed to move to the next position.

In total, from 1960 to 1975, at three shipyards (Primorsky, Vladivostok and Rybinsk) for the Soviet fleet, 177 RK Project 205 of various modifications were built: at the Primorsky Shipyard 89 ships (19 units on Project 205Y, of which 13 for sales for export, one for Project 2054, one for Project 205EKB, and the rest for Project 205); at the Vladivostok Shipyard there are 41 ships (4 units on Project 205ER, ordered by the Indonesian government, but included in the Soviet Navy, 13 units on Project 205U, and the rest on Project 205); at the Rybinsk Shipyard 47 on Project 205. Of the 177 boats, about 100 units (according to various estimates from 95 to 107) were sold abroad. In addition, from 1973 to 1984, 87 boats were built at the Rybinsk Shipyard according to Project 205ER. The latter were also built in China using Soviet technology and are known as the Huangfen type (type 021).

The main disadvantage of the RK pr. 205 and its modifications, which emerged by the end of the 1960s, in particular in local conflicts, was the weakness of artillery weapons, since the 30-mm AU AK-230, due to its short firing range, turned out to be ineffective in the fight against planes and helicopters, as well as in artillery duels with enemy boats, usually armed with 40-mm machine guns (and since the early 1970s, 76-mm rapid-fire guns). This circumstance forced the deployment of the Strela-2 (later Strela-3) MANPADS on Soviet boats, Project 205 and Project 205U, and in 1977, the construction of the Project 206MR RK with the 76-mm AK-176 gun began. By the end of the 1970s, Project 205 boats became obsolete, they began to be gradually withdrawn from the Soviet fleet and sold abroad or dismantled for metal.

(18*) According to other sources, the modernization took place along Project 205M.


As of December 2001, not a single Project 205 boat remained in the fleet.

Story

The project was developed at the Almaz Central Design Bureau according to the tactical and technical specifications (TTZ) of the Union Armed Forces of 1956. Chief designer E.I. Yukhnin. The new boats differed from the previously produced Project 183R boats in their steel hull (unified with the Project 206 torpedo boats), reinforced armament and increased seaworthiness.

An interesting feature of the boat's design are the rounded shapes of the superstructures and the specific shape of the deck, which provide improved flushing in the event of radioactive contamination. Unique 42-cylinder 6-row radial diesel engines M503 were also used (English) Russian Leningrad Machine-Building Plant named after Voroshilov.

It is a logical continuation of the Project 183R “Mosquito” series.

The lead missile boat of Project 205 became part of the USSR Navy in 1960. These ships were built in large series until 1970.

Indo-Pakistan War 1971

In mid-1971, the Indian Navy received 8 Project 205 missile boats: Vinash, Vidyat, Widgeta, Veer, Nirghat, Nirghit, Nashak and Nipat. The boats were part of the 25th Squadron of the Indian Navy at the naval base in Bombay.

On December 2, near the Okha naval base, a Pakistani B-57 bomber unsuccessfully attempted to attack an Indian Wasp.

On the night of December 4-5, the Indian Navy, with the participation of Project 205 boats, conducted Operation Trident. To attack Pakistan's main naval base Karachi, the missile boats Nipat, Nirghat and Veer were deployed, under the cover of two frigates and one tanker.

The Nirghat was the first to launch an attack with 2 P-15 missiles at an interval of 5 minutes, hitting the Pakistani destroyer Khaibar (displacement 2315 tons). The second missile detonated the destroyer's ammunition and the ship sank 45 minutes later, killing 222 of the 268 Pakistani sailors.

The missile boat Nipat hit the Liberian transport ship MV Venus Challenger, which was transporting American ammunition from Saigon to Pakistan, with one P-15 missile. The hit led to the detonation of the shells, powerful explosion shook Karachi, the ship broke into two parts and after 8 minutes completely disappeared under water. All Chinese, American and Pakistani sailors on board were killed. The second missile destroyed the Indian boat by the Pakistani destroyer Shah Jahan (DD-962) (displacement 1,710 tons). The entire command staff of the destroyer was killed, the ship completely burned down, did not sink and was scrapped.

Missile boat "Veer" 1 with a P-15 missile sank the Pakistani minesweeper Muhafiz (displacement 360 tons), killing 33 out of 53 Pakistani sailors. The Indian boat fired 2 more missiles at oil storage facilities on the shore, 1 missile hit the target, causing huge fires in the port.

All Indian missile boats returned to their port without losses. It is worth noting that the Pakistanis initially perceived the attack on Karachi as an air raid, and during the operation, Pakistani anti-aircraft guns fired barrages at the “Indian planes” all night. The next day, the Pakistani frigate Zulfiqar was sent to rescue survivors from the destroyer Khaibar. Pakistani F-86 Saber aircraft mistook the frigate for an Indian missile boat and fired 900 cannon shells at it. The frigate suffered significant damage and many Pakistani sailors were killed and wounded.

On the night of December 8-9, the Indian Navy conducted Operation Python, during which Karachi was attacked by two frigates and only one Vinash missile boat.

When approaching 22 kilometers, Vinash fired all 4 P-15 missiles, the first missile hit an oil refinery on the shore. Fire from burning oil storage facilities lit up Karachi. The Pakistanis perceived the attack as an air raid. Six minutes later, Pakistani anti-aircraft guns opened barrage fire over Karachi. The shells of Pakistani large-caliber guns from the Himalaya stronghold in the darkness looked like flying missiles, and Pakistani anti-aircraft gunners from other guns began to try to shoot them down. Real chaos began in the port. The second missile from the Indian boat hit the Panama tanker Gulf Star (10,607 tons deadweight), the hit caused fuel detonation and the ship sank almost immediately. The third missile hit the British transport ship SS Harmattan (9236 GRT), 7 British sailors were killed and 6 wounded, and the ship burned. The Pakistani minesweeper Munsif was buried in the wreckage of the exploding ship. The fourth missile hit the Pakistan Navy tanker Dacca (displacement 5532 tons). The ship burned down and was later scrapped. In addition, two transport ships stationed near these ships received significant damage from close missile explosions. The coastal and air defense of the port tried to resist the Indians, and as a result, the Greek merchant ship Zoe, carrying goods to Pakistan, was accidentally burned by Pakistani gunfire. Pakistani patrol boat while firing towards an Indian boat, he accidentally shot through the side of the British merchant ship Eucadia. The Indians returned without losses.

As a result of two operations, Indian Osa missile boats caused very significant damage to the Pakistani naval base in Karachi. 7 large ships were destroyed, the Pakistanis hit 2 more of their own ships, and 12 of 34 large oil storage facilities were destroyed. The port burned for about 7 more days. Economic losses from the oil refinery alone amounted to about $3 billion. The full death toll is unknown, with more than 500 Pakistani sailors and an unknown number of Chinese and Americans killed on the night of December 4–5 alone. An unknown number of Pakistanis died on the Zulfiqar on December 6. Many Pakistanis, as well as foreigners, died on the night of December 8-9. The Indians, as mentioned above, had no casualties in these attacks.

Yom Kippur War (1973)

On October 6, on the first day of the war, during a naval battle near Latakia, one Syrian Project 205 boat was sunk by two hits from Gabriel anti-ship missiles fired by Israeli Saar missile boats.

On the same day, seven Egyptian Osa missile boats attacked Israeli defensive positions in northern Sinai near Runami. Egyptian boats successfully fired at Israeli defenses and the Budapest stronghold with MLRS and P-15 missiles. Three Israeli Saar missile boats patrolling the coast attempted to attack the Egyptians. Only two of the three boats were able to fire missiles, and none of the 11 Gabriel anti-ship missiles fired hit the target. Having completed the task, the Egyptian boats began to return, but on the way they were attacked by Israeli planes and helicopters. An Israeli F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber sank one boat, and in turn, Egyptian MiG-17 fighters called to help shot down an Israeli Bell-205 helicopter. The six remaining boats returned to their port.

On the night of October 8–9, during the naval battle of Damietta, six Israeli missile boats were attacked by four Egyptian Osa missile boats. Egyptian boats fired 16 P-15 anti-ship missiles, the Israelis used electronic warfare, as a result, all the missiles missed the target, but one Israeli boat was damaged from a close explosion, and several Israeli sailors were killed and wounded. The Israelis responded by firing 12 Gabriel anti-ship missiles. Egyptian boats, which did not have electronic warfare equipment, began active maneuvering. We managed to dodge six missiles, but the remaining six, two in three boats, hit the target. Moreover, in all cases, hits from Israeli anti-ship missiles were not enough to sink them; all boats were finished off with artillery fire. The fourth Egyptian boat dodged all the missiles and went to port. The Egyptians called in fighter-bombers to help, which drove off the Israeli fleet.

On the same day, returning Israeli boats near the port were attacked by one Egyptian missile boat. The Egyptian boat fired anti-ship missiles and, according to Egyptian data, sank one boat, after which it returned to its port.

The small Syrian fleet did not conduct active attacks and the Israelis decided to finally block it in Latakia. On the night of October 10-11, seven Israeli Sa'ar missile boats approached Latakia. Three Syrian Osa missile boats, having detected the enemy from a maximum distance, fired 12 P-15 missiles, the Israelis used electronic warfare systems and all the missiles missed the target. The Syrian boats departed to the port. Israeli sailors, knowing that the port was full of foreign civilian ships, opened fire on the retreating Syrian boats. Eight Gabriel anti-ship missiles were fired, two hit two civilian ships, three missed, two hit one Wasp, which sank, and one hit another Wasp, which also sank.

According to American researcher John Schlut, during the war, Israeli Saar boats sank 5 Syrian Osa missile boats in three battles. Despite the fact that the Syrians had only 3 such boats (according to some sources, even 2).

Egyptian Osa missile boats took part in three naval battles during the war and, according to Egyptian data, sank 3 Israeli missile boats and 1 torpedo boat, losing 4 boats destroyed and 1 damaged out of 19 participating. According to Israeli data, only one Israeli missile boat was damaged, while 5 Egyptian boats were destroyed.

Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)

Iraq received the first 4 Osa-1 and 3 Osa-2 missile boats in 1974. In 1975-1976, 5 more Osa-2 boats were received. The boats were used by the Iraqi Navy during the war with Iran.

November 29, 1980 two Iranian missile corvettes Kaman class blocked and attacked the Iraqi ports of Al-Fao and Umm Qasr. Iraq sent a group of five Osa missile boats to relieve the blockade. The Iranian corvette Paykan attacked first, firing two RGM-84 Harpoon missiles and sinking two boats. The Iraqis returned fire and sank Paykan itself (displacement 234 tons) with two P-15 missiles. Several F-4 Phantom fighter-bombers flew to the aid of the Iranians, which hit the three remaining Iraqi boats with AGM-65 Maverick missiles, two of which were hit by one missile, were damaged and were out of action, the third was hit by three missiles and sank. After this defeat, the Iraqis began to use missile boats much more carefully and with air support.

On September 3, 1982, two Iraqi Osa-2 missile boats left the Umm Qasr naval base to intercept a naval convoy of 25 tankers, covered by 2 PF-103 class frigates. Iraqi boats sank one tanker and successfully returned to base.

On the night of September 9-10, 1982, two Iraqi Osa-2 boats went to the Iranian naval base of Bushehr as bait. Two Iraqi Super-Frelon helicopters armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles were flying near the boats at sea level. As they approached the base, two Iranian PF-103 class frigates (displacement 900 tons) came out to meet the Iraqi boats. Iraqi helicopters rose above the water and sank one Iranian frigate, the second turned around and managed to go back.

In 1982, Iraqi Osa missile boats were used to fire P-15 missiles at Iranian oil storage facilities on Kharg Island. The damage they caused was very significant. The Iranians specially redeployed an additional HAWK air defense system to the island. During the following attacks, Iranian air defense systems shot down several fired P-15 missiles.

By the end of the war, Iraq had 7 Osa missile boats left.

Gulf War (1990-1991)

Used by the Iraqi Navy. Before the war with Kuwait, Iraq had 5 Osa-2 and 2 Osa-1 missile boats.

Participated in the battle for Kuwait naval base at Cape El-Kulaya (رأس القليعة ‎, garrison 500 people). During it, the Iraqi missile boat "Osa" (75 marines) single-handedly captured half of the Kuwaiti fleet (6 missile boats, 3 transports and 8 landing boats). One Iraqi boat was shot down during the war.

Among those captured were 5 TNC-45 class missile boats (228 tons displacement) Merija, Mashuwah, Istiqlal, Al Ahmadi and Al Mubareek and 1 TPB-57 class missile boat (350 tons displacement) Sabhan.

During Operation Desert Storm, coalition aircraft damaged 5 Iraqi Osa missile boats, and 1 more managed to escape into Iranian territorial waters. After the end of the war, this boat remained the only one of this type in the Iraqi Navy.

This is a high-speed small-sized boat armed with missiles various types. For the first time, a ship equipped with missiles was designed by Soviet designers. The USSR Navy adopted a ship of this class for service in the 60s. XX century. It was a fast and maneuverable ship 183 R "Komar". The floating vehicle was armed with two missiles. The second Soviet model with four P-15 missiles was the Project 205 missile boat. Subsequently, Israel became the owner of a Saar-type vessel equipped with missile launchers.

Missile boat “Komar”

Combat use

The boats are designed to destroy enemy surface targets. These can be transport, landing, artillery vessels, naval groups and their cover. Another function of a high-speed boat is to cover “their” ships from sea and air threats. They operate both offshore and far out to sea.

The first baptism of fire of a missile boat occurred during the conflict between Egypt and Israel, and was marked by the destruction of an Israeli destroyer. The destroyer was destroyed by P-15 missiles fired by the Egyptian Komar. This incident demonstrated the effectiveness of ships of this class in military applications and thereby convinced many states of the need to create boats with missiles on board.

Boat “Komar”

Projects 205 and 205U “Moskit”

Project 205 “Mosquito” was developed by the Almaz design bureau in the mid-1950s. The boats had a steel hull. Engineers enhanced the vehicle's armament and seaworthiness. Another difference from the model 183P boat was the rounded ship superstructure and the special shape of the deck, which allows you to quickly wash away radioactive contamination. The power plant consisted of a 42-cylinder M503 radial diesel engine. The boat became part of the navy Soviet Union in 1960.

Boat “Mosquito”

In the early 60s. project organization Almaz has developed the 205U boat. This ship was armed with a modernized P-15U missile. The rocket's wing automatically opened upon takeoff. Also installed on board were two double 30mm AK-230 artillery mounts.

Boats of these projects were participants in several serious military conflicts:

  1. The conflict between Egypt and Israel in the 70s. XX century
  2. 1971 Pakistan-India War
  3. War between Arab countries and Israel in 1973
  4. Iran-Iraq war of the 80s.
  5. The war between US and Iraqi troops in the early 90s.

Project 205 missile boat

Rocket boat design

At first, missile boats had the hull of a torpedo boat. Torpedoes were removed from the ship and missiles were installed. But as they were used, a number of new requirements for the vessel appeared:

  • Specially equipped containers for weapons and special missile launchers were required for use on the ship.
  • It was necessary to change the superstructure and some parts of the deck to remove jet gases when launching missiles, as well as to protect the crew and on-board equipment.
  • It became necessary to equip with powerful radar systems for controlling and detecting missiles.
  • The boat's displacement has increased. The average displacement of water ranges from 170 to 1.5 thousand tons.
  • The hull is made of steel and has a smooth deck. The superstructure of the missile boat is made of high-strength aluminum alloys. The vertical walls of the case are waterproof. The length of the hull ranges from 30 to 65 meters, and the width is up to 17 meters.
  • The power plant of missile ships, as a rule, has gas turbine or diesel engines. But, for example, the Molniya missile boat is equipped with a combined type propulsion system: two afterburning turbines of the M-70 model and two M-510 diesel engines. They drive fixed pitch propellers. This increases the speed capabilities of the vessel – up to 40 knots. The range is approximately 1,500 miles with an average speed of 20 knots.
  • The seaworthiness of the vessels is quite high. This was achieved due to the rounded design of the bow, deck and special superstructure, high displacement.
  • In the event of a shipwreck, life rafts are evenly spaced around the entire perimeter.
  • The crew of the missile boats ranges from 27 to 78 people. Thus, the Molniya missile boats of projects 12418, 12411 and 12421 carry 40-41 sailors and officers on board. And on the large Bora missile boat there are 78, including the ship’s commander. The personnel are housed in cabins and cockpits.

Missile boat armament

Already from the name itself you can understand that the main weapons of the boat are missile, anti-aircraft and artillery installations of various modifications and types. All installations have precise homing systems and, unlike artillery, a longer range.

The main equipment is several types of missile launchers. The first PRU "Osa-M". This complex can independently detect targets. For this purpose, the installation is equipped with a locator. It helps to see an object located at an altitude of up to 4 km and a distance of up to 30 km. The complex also consists of means for setting targets and sighting missiles, equipment for transmitting commands and a remote control for three operators.

The second installation that the boat is equipped with is the Moskit anti-ship missile system. It is designed to destroy surface objects. The missiles are resistant to the effects of a nuclear explosion. The complex is used in coastal defense and naval aviation. The Mosquito is capable of penetrating any ship's hull and exploding inside the vessel. It has a combined control system: navigation and homing. This guarantees a high hit on target.

Another installation intended for installation on ships is “Malachite”. This Russian-style cruise missile destroys surface ships. "Malachite" is a more powerful modification of the first cruise missile P-70 "Amethyst".

Its control system includes:

  • Autopilot APLI-5;
  • Radar system "Dvina";
  • Thermal system "Drofa".

Small rocket ship "Bora"

For example, a rocket Bora» equipped with:

  • Two Moskit launchers for 8 3M80 missiles;
  • One paired launcher of the Osa-M anti-aircraft missile system for 20 missiles;
  • One 76-mm AK-176 and two 30-mm AK-630.

Small rocket ship “Mirage”

Mirage» armed:
  • Six launchers of Malachite anti-ship missiles, loaded with 6 P-120 missiles each;
  • One 76-mm AK-176 and 30-mm AK-630;
  • One paired Osa-M anti-aircraft missile system for 20 missiles.

Small rocket ship “Ivanovets”

Ivanovets» equipped with:
  • Four Mosquito launchers for 4 missiles;
  • One 76-mm AK-176 and one 30-mm AK-630;
  • One anti-aircraft installation "Igla".

Vessels use active and passive target detection. Navigational and radar systems located at the top of the control room. Typically, Monolith or Harpoon model radars are installed. On the superstructure of the craft there is radar system"Vympel" and equipment warning about laser irradiation "Spektr-F". The boats are able to recognize the nationality of nearby ships. For this purpose, the board is equipped with a special “friend or foe” device.

Modern missile boats

The Russian Navy can be proud of the fact that it has had a large number of missile boats in its service over the years. Many of their representatives are exported to other countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, India, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Yemen, Egypt.

A total of 62 models and modifications of missile boats were designed. Here are the main operating boats:

  1. "Bora" - in service since 1984
  2. Boat R-60 project 12411 – since 1985
  3. The Mirage boat was put into service in 1983
  4. R-71 "Shuya" has been in service with the Russian Navy since 1985
  5. R-109 project 12411 – in service since 1990
  6. The Naberezhnye Chelny boat has been operating since 1989
  7. Small missile ship "Ivanovets" - since 1990
  8. "Samum" project 1239 was accepted into the fleet in 1991
  9. The boat "Shtil" has been in the fleet since 1976.

They all have powerful the latest equipment and weapons that meet international standards of military equipment.
