The Russian Pacific Fleet has received a unique Star Wars ship, the Marshal Krylov. Space marine ship Combat work and missions KIK

"Marshal Krylov" will be able to track the orbital constellations of satellites and manage squadrons of ships.

Russian military sailors received a floating "star wars headquarters". For the needs of the Pacific Fleet, the Marshal Krylov space monitoring ship, which has no analogues in the world, has been modernized. Its equipment allows real-time control of ships, aircraft and ground forces and conduct operations in outer space. The ship can solve not only military tasks. It will be used by Roscosmos to track rocket launches from the Vostochny Cosmodrome. For a set of on-board radio-electronic systems, Marshal Krylov has already received the nickname "Star Wars Headquarters" in the Navy.

The Main Command of the Navy said that work on the modernization of the Marshal Krylov measuring complex ship has almost been completed. Trial tests were carried out during the strategic exercises "Vostok-2018". After the completion of all work, "Marshal Krylov" should become the ship's control center of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet).

The exit of the ship to the open sea was announced before the start of the exercises. True, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not name which ship would take part in them. Before the start of Vostok-2018, at a briefing for foreign military attachés, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, General of the Army Valery Gerasimov, casually noted that the fleet was testing new equipment.

Ships of a completely new class, which provide control of groupings of forces in ocean waters, Valery Gerasimov said.

"Marshal Krylov" project 1914.1 - the only ship of this class in the Russian Navy. Now he is listed in the 114th brigade of the Pacific Fleet.

"Marshal Krylov" is designed to provide testing and development of new models of rocket and space systems, launching the means of the Aerospace Forces into orbit, search, rescue and evacuation of crews and descent vehicles that have landed on water. And also for the detection of ships, submarines and aircraft, relaying all kinds of information.

Prior to modernization, it was most often used to provide communication between cosmonauts and the mission control center (MCC) of the Roscosmos state corporation. After the upgrade, the ship will be used, among other things, to track missile launches from the Vostochny cosmodrome.

The vessel underwent modernization at the Dalzavod ship repair center in Vladivostok. A new aft antenna complex was installed on the ship. The main and auxiliary engines, navigational and radio equipment were repaired.

Domestic fleet will receive a one-of-a-kind ship, military expert Dmitry Boltenkov told Izvestia.

- "Marshal Krylov" will be indispensable in the management of remote groupings of ships, - said Dmitry Boltenkov. - Russia began to return to the oceans. In fact, the Mediterranean squadron, which existed under the USSR, was recreated. It is possible that the squadron will be recreated in the Indian Ocean. In this case, the ship will be especially useful to the fleet.

"Marshal Krylov" will be able to solve multifaceted tasks, said the head of the St. Petersburg club of submariners, Captain First Rank Igor Kurdin. The ship can provide communication in the most remote corners of the world, acting as a signal repeater, he explained.

The ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna went to sea in the fall of 2012 to perform tasks for its intended purpose.
This ship can be considered unique. After all, it is the only one in its class in the fleet that performs the tasks of providing flight design tests of new models of rocket and space technology ( spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, etc.).
July 24, 2012 the ship turned 25 years old. In order to maintain units and mechanisms in good condition, the ship was put on a lengthy dock repair in Vladivostok, during which the entire range of work on support systems was completed. After that, "Marshal Krylov" successfully passed sea trials in the Amur Bay.
Let's find out more about the history of this ship.

The need for ships capable of carrying out all kinds of measurements of intercontinental missiles arises at the beginning space age. Rockets equipped with nuclear warheads have reached a level where test sites have become small for them - the range of a rocket has become measured in thousands of kilometers. Previously, observation and measurement of parameters were carried out by measuring points installed at ground test sites. Now, when the launched rocket could fly around half the world, new means of their control and measurement were required.
The ships owe their appearance to TsNII-4 and personally to the outstanding designer Sergei Pavlovich Korolev. It is with his proposal to create a naval command and measurement complex and move it to the expanses of the Pacific Ocean to control the testing of strategic missile weapons that the history of these amazing auxiliary vessels begins - the history of the symbiosis of space and navy fleets.

1958 Management Soviet Union decides on the creation and construction of a ship - a command and measurement complex. A huge number of people of various specialties and many enterprises of the military-industrial complex are attracted to the creation of the CFC. The first to be given dry cargo ships of project 1128, created in Poland for the Soviet Union as dry cargo transporters, for their conversion into KIK. The design part of KIK is the Leningrad Central Design Bureau and Baltsudoproekt. After receiving the ships, work began on equipping them with special equipment. It should be noted that at that time there were practically no measuring equipment and equipment for using it on surface ships, and it was removed from ground stations and automobile chassis. Command and measuring equipment was installed in the holds of ships on special platforms. In addition to apparatus and equipment, the ships received reinforced skins to make it possible to make a trip (expedition) through the northern sea route. All work on equipping and equipping the ships was completed by the summer of 1959, after which sea trials of the KIK began immediately.
All KIKs entered the so-called "TOGE" - the Pacific Hydrographic Expedition. The location of TOGE is a bay on the Kamchatka Peninsula (later the city of Vilyuchinsk grew up there).

The main tasks of TOGE:
- measuring and tracking the flight path of ICBMs;
- tracking the fall and determining the coordinates of the fall of the head of the rocket;
- control and monitoring of the mechanisms of a nuclear device;
- removal, processing, transfer and control of all information from the object;
- control of the trajectory and information coming from the spacecraft;
- maintaining constant communication with the astronauts on board the spacecraft.
The first ships of project 1128 - Sakhalin, Siberia, Suchan (Spassk) were combined into the first floating measuring complex (1PIK), code name - "Brigade S". A little later, the project 1129 ship Chukotka joined them. All ships were put into service in 1959. Cover legend - Pacific Oceanographic Expedition (TOGE-4). In the same year, the ships made their first expedition to the area of the Hawaiian Islands, which became known as the Aquatoria missile test site. These were the first ships that sailed to the center of the Pacific Ocean, the autonomy of which reached 120 days.

Everything in this expedition was top secret; at that time, mention of these ships threatened to be sent to places not so remote for disclosing state secrets. The ships had an unusual silhouette and paint color - the ball-colored hull had white superstructures with various antennas. The main equipment was radar stations and direction finders, hydrophones and echo sounders, telemetry stations and classified communications. And although the flags of the Navy were hung on them, to whom they report, where they are and what they do, the vast majority of the population of the Soviet Union, even the commanders of military units, surface and submarine ships, did not know. The officers who came to serve on such ships only learned when they accepted the position that hydrography was only a cover for the real tasks of the ship.

The secrecy of the ships was in everything, for example, when moving from Kronstadt to the place of deployment, all visible antennas were dismantled and put back only in Murmansk. In the same place, the ships were equipped with Ka-15 deck helicopters. Icebreakers are allocated to ships to ensure further advancement. On the way, the helicopters worked out various tasks of grinding to the ship and reconnaissance of ice conditions. And although the helicopters were tested in the North, and combat missions were solved at the Equator, the Ka-15 helicopters proved themselves well and remained the main helicopters of these ships for a long time.
Subsequently, ships were commissioned:
- KIK-11 "Chumikan", a project 1130 ship, went into operation on June 14, 1963;
- KIK-11 "Chazhma", the ship of project 1130 was commissioned on July 27, 1963;
- "Marshal Nedelin", a project 1914 ship, went into operation on December 31, 1983;
- "Marshal Krylov", a project 1914.1 ship, went into operation on February 28, 1990;
After joining the ships of project 1130, 2 PIKs were created, code name "Brigade Ch". Cover legend - TOGE-5. In 1985, the ships were included in the 35th KIK brigade. The brigade adhered during combat and Everyday life orders of the Commanders-in-Chief of the Navy and the Strategic Missile Forces of the Soviet Union. In addition to measurement ships, two raid messenger boats and one tug MB-260 were enrolled in the brigades.

Combat work and tasks of the KIK.
The presence of TOGE ships was a prerequisite for the start of testing of all Soviet ICBMs, they provided all flights of spacecraft of the Soviet Union and studied the flights of enemy spacecraft. The first combat mission of the ships is the end of October 1959. The first tracking and measurement of the flight of an intercontinental missile - the end of January 1960. The first manned flight into space was also provided by the TOGE-4 ships, which were sent to a given area in the Pacific Ocean and kept the combat mission secret from them until the last. The ship "Chumikan" took part in 1973 in rescue operations on "Apollo-13". In the early 80s, the ships provided the launch of the Soviet BOR. Late 80s - "Marshal Nedelin" provided the flight of the ISS "Buran". "Marshal Krylov" completed the assigned tasks in the mission "Europe-America-500". In the 1960s, TOGE-4 ships studied and took information from American high-altitude nuclear explosions.

The ships ended their history very tragically:
- "Siberia" cut into scrap metal;
- "Chutotka" cut into scrap metal;
- Spassk was sold to the United States for 868 thousand dollars;
- Sakhalin was sold to China;
- "Chumikan" was sold for 1.5 million dollars;
- Chamzha was sold for 205 thousand dollars;
- "Marshal Nedelin" stood looted for a long time, the money for restoration was never found, it was sold to India as scrap metal.

They also wanted to build the 3rd ship of the 1914 project, the Marshal Biryuzov ship was laid down and work began, however, the collapse of the Soviet Union, like on many other projects, put an end to its further completion, and it was eventually cut into metal.

Project 1914.1 "Marshal Krylov"

Today this is the last CMC out of 8 ships capable of working with space and intercontinental objects. The base is the city of Vilyuchinsk, the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The main developer is Balsudoproekt. The appearance of new measurement and control ships, completely built from "A" to "Z" in the Soviet Union, is a logical decision in the "arms race" that existed at that time. The ship embodies the experience of previously built ships, their modernization and equipping with new equipment. It was planned to install the most modern equipment on the ship, expand the capabilities of deck helicopters and the entire functionality of the ship. The ship was laid down at the Leningrad shipbuilding facilities on 06/22/1982. The built ship left the stocks on 07/24/1987. The ship arrived at its base in the middle of 1990, passing not like other ships along the Northern Route, but through the Suez Canal. In 1998, the ship changes its classification for the last time and becomes a communications ship.

The ships of projects 1914 and 1914.1 outwardly differed only in the presence of the second Fregat radar on the second hull with an improved antenna. Some changes affected the interior layout of the premises. Installed powerful monitoring tools allow you to perform additional tasks. The ship's hull received an anti-ice belt according to class L1.

The ship of the measuring complex "Marshal Krylov" is the second ship of the project 1914, but it was built according to the modified project 1914.1. Named after Marshal N.I. Krylov. Currently, this is the only ship of the control and measuring complex in the Russian Navy, performing the tasks of providing flight design tests of new types of rocket and space technology (spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, etc.).

Project 1914 was developed by the Baltsudoproekt Central Design Bureau.

On July 24, 1982, the hull of the ship (serial number 02515) was laid down at the Leningrad Admiralty Association. Launched on July 24, 1987. December 30, 1989 was introduced into the Russian Navy. On February 23, 1990, the Naval flag of the USSR was hoisted on the ship in a solemn ceremony.

Main characteristics:

Type of ship: Steel, two screw, with an extended forecastle and a two-tier superstructure, 14 compartments.

Displacement 23780 tons. Length 211.2 meters, width 27.7 meters, draft 8 meters. Travel speed up to 22 knots. Autonomy 120 days. The crew is about 350 people. Two Ka-27 search and rescue helicopters can be on board.

Main engine: Diesel hydraulic gear unit DGZA-6U. Power 22 MW.

On July 24, 2012, the ship celebrated its 25th anniversary since its launch. In order to maintain units and mechanisms in good condition, the ship was put on a lengthy dock repair in Vladivostok, during which the entire range of work on support systems was completed. On December 19, 2012, the ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna went to sea to perform tasks for its intended purpose, after repairs.

April 14, 2014 under the command of Captain 2nd Rank Boris Kulik went to sea to perform course tasks. In October, where repairs and deep modernization will be carried out at Dalzavod. According to a message dated December 03 in Vladivostok at the Dalzavod Ship Repair Center. February 23, 2015 from the day of raising the Naval flag. According to a message dated April 11, 2016, Dalzavod, where the ship was undergoing routine repairs, arrived at the Slavyansky Shipyard in the Khasansky District of Primorsky Krai. in Slavic shipyard in the near future, the shaft line will be centered and new screws will be installed. According to a message dated March 10, 2017, by July, the Dalzavod Ship Repair Center will carry out a comprehensive repair and modernization of the vessel. According to a message dated June 19, 2019, for the first time will take in the naval parade in honor of the Day Navy in Vladivostok.

Many expressed great regret that the fleet is losing such unique vessels. However, there is also good news related to another measuring ship from the times of the USSR.

Ship of the Pacific Fleet "Marshal Krylov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Igor Shalyna, in the fall of 2012, he went to sea to perform tasks for its intended purpose.

This ship can be considered unique. After all, it is the only one in its class in the fleet that performs the tasks of providing flight design tests of new models of rocket and space technology (spacecraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, etc.).

The main tasks of TOGE:

Measuring and tracking the flight path of ICBMs;

Tracking the fall and determining the coordinates of the fall of the head of the rocket;

Control and tracking of the mechanisms of a nuclear device;

Removal, processing, transfer and control of all information from the object;

The brigade adhered to the orders of the Commanders-in-Chief of the Navy and the Strategic Missile Forces of the Soviet Union during combat and everyday life. In addition to measurement ships, two raid messenger boats and one tug MB-260 were enrolled in the brigades.
