Russia is secretly elaborates a layered lighting system for surface and underwater environment, involving the introduction of advanced sonar systems in the depths of the Black sea, says Defence Express, citing a study conducted with the participation of the former (in 2014-2016) the commander of the naval forces of Ukraine Sergey Haiduk.
the article argues that Russia is “preparing the underwater base element of total control over the Black sea and migrate an upcoming confrontation, not only in space but under water.” Some equipment including observation of potential enemy weapons, for example, “Delta-MGA”, according to Ukrainian experts, are placed on objects of the gas pipeline “Turkish stream” may be set to “Blue stream”.
In the study, I remember the Soviet concept of three lines of the illumination system surface conditions: the ground (ocean operating area), the second (distant sea operating area) and the third (near sea operating area). According to the Hayduk and his co-authors, Russia on the Black sea deploys equipment designed for the third zone.
the publication is transferred to the appropriate technician. So, it is argued that in the beginning of 2019 in the North-Western part of the sea at a distance of about 200 kilometers of coastline, the Russian side has deployed passive hydroacoustic complex MGK-608, allowing a radius of about 200 kilometers to control surface and underwater situation in the North-Western and Western Black sea.
In the region, according to the study, the continuing placement of stationary hydroacoustic systems “Rationality ВГ5” that “with high probability” will be integrated into the Russian Unified state system of lighting of the surface and underwater environment (of EGANO). “Today we know about the construction of the center infrastructure to manage this complex. Organizationally, it will be part of the Novorossiysk naval base. In the future, Russia plans to deploy one such complex at Cape Sarich,” writes Defence Express.
it is Alleged that since the beginning of 2014, Russia in the waters near Sochi posted 20 Autonomous hydroacoustic stations “Amga-M”, intended “for the search, detection, classification and tracking of submarines by determining the direction of motion and transmit information about them to the coast or the ship control centers”. It is noted that “these measures allowed to create anti-turn length of 100 kilometers and a width of up to 6 kilometers.”
the study Also reported about Russian plans to deploy in the area of Cape Tarkhankut and Cape Khersones stationary electromagnetic stations “Anaconda-SP”, intended for the detection and classification of underwater sabotage forces and means at ranges up to 30 kilometers.
In July, the naval Institute of the United States stated that nuclear deep-water station as-31 “Losharik”, which earlier in the month there was a fire intended for deployment in the North Atlantic, in particular, operations on an imaginary line connecting Greenland and British Islands (Faeroe-Iceland abroad), where is the American anti-submarine sonar sound surveillance system SOund SUrveillance System (SOSUS).
