Project 205 missile boats. Project 205 missile boat
Designed in TsKB-5 (since 1967 - TsMKB "Almaz") under the leadership of the chief designer E. I. Yukhnin. Captain 1st rank V.V. Dmitriev was appointed chief observer from the Navy. The technical project was approved in 1957. The boats were intended to destroy large enemy ships in the coastal areas of naval bases and to protect the water area (OVR).
The hull of the boat is smooth-deck, made of SHL-45 steel with a thickness of 5 mm to 8 mm and has round-chine lines in the bow and sharp-chine lines in the stern of the hull. On the deck was an extended superstructure made of lightweight AMG alloy with a conning tower and an open navigation bridge in the bow. The boats could use their entire weapons arsenal with a wave of up to 5 points at speeds up to 30 knots and at 4 points without restrictions.
Unsinkability was ensured by dividing the hull with watertight bulkheads into 8 compartments:
- Forepeak;
- Kubrick for 8 people;
- Kubrick for 12 people;
- Engine room No. 1;
- Engine room No. 2;
- Cabins for officers and midshipmen;
- Post of pre-launch preparation of missiles;
- Afterpeak.
The power plant is mechanical, three-shaft with three M-503 diesel engines of 3300 hp each. each with reverse gears that provided forward, reverse and idling with a constant rotation of the crankshaft and transferred rotation to three three-bladed fixed-pitch propellers. The diesel engines are equipped with an automatic signaling and protection system that warns the maintenance personnel with a light signal about violations in the diesel engine operation. The motors are mounted on four legs with rubber shock absorbers and are rigidly bolted. The diesel engine is started with compressed air. The assigned engine life to the first overhaul is 1,000 hours, and the total life is 2,500 hours at a speed of 2,000 rpm.
The armament of the boats consisted of:
- Of the 4 hangar launchers for launching P-15 anti-ship cruise missiles with non-folding wings from the Klyon PURS, located two on each side. The constant elevation of the launchers was 11.5 °. The missiles had a firing range of 35 ... 40 km, a cruising speed of 320 m / s, a warhead weight of 480 kg, homing was carried out using an active type radar head. Reloading the missiles into the boat's hangar launchers was possible only at the base, and took about 30 minutes.
- Of 2 paired 30-mm AK-230 assault rifles with a barrel length of 71.3 calibers, one on the tank and one in the stern. The rate of fire of the installation was 1,000 rounds / min. on the stem. The vertical pointing angle is from -12 to + 87 °, and the horizontal one is up to 180 °. The initial speed of the projectile is 1060 m / s, the firing range is up to 5 km. The feed of the machine guns is tape, in the tape for each barrel, 500 rounds. Shooting is carried out in bursts of up to 100 shots per barrel, after which cooling is required for 15-20 minutes. It is allowed to fire until the ammunition is used up (500 rounds) with interruptions every 100 shots for 15-20 seconds. After that, it is necessary to replace the barrel and repair the machine. The calculation of the gun included 2 people. Unit weight 1926 kg. The machines had a remote control system from the Kolonka PUS and remote automatic control from the UAO MR-104 Rys radar.
The missile fire control system consisted of:
- from the Klen PURS, which developed the range and direction to the target, the device included:
- rocket launcher RAS, which, based on the incoming data, constantly worked out the range and direction, and also entered data into the homing heads of the missiles.
- Information about the target went to the PURS system from the Rangout detection radar.
The fire control system of naval 30-mm artillery consisted of:
- from the artillery fire control device (PUAO) "Lynx" which included:
- central automatic firing TsAS (calculating and decisive device), which, on the basis of incoming data from the MP-104 "Lynx" control radar, controlled 2 automatic guns giving out vertical and horizontal aiming angles of 30-mm artillery.
- from equipment for selection of moving targets and noise protection
- The main means of target designation was the Rangout detection radar.
- After receiving target designation, the target was taken to escort the MR-104 "Lynx" firing radar.
The MR-104 "Lynx" fire control radar of the decimeter wave range made it possible to determine the range and track air, surface and coastal targets to control the firing of 30-mm caliber naval artillery guns. The radar automatically tracked air targets at speeds up to 300 m/s at ranges up to 26 km, and surface targets such as torpedo boats up to 4 km.
The boats were equipped with a compass, Rangout detection radar, Kremniy identification radar, and MDSH smoke bombs.
Radar detection "Rangout", designed for target designation of missile weapons. The centimeter range station with two power levels of 20 and 100 W was serviced by one operator and could carry out a circular view at a frequency of 4 or 12 rpm. The antenna was placed on the mast, and the main units - on the deck of the boat. The range of detection by the station of a surface target such as a cruiser was up to 60 km, a destroyer up to 24 km. The PMK-453 sight was used as a backup optical aiming aid.
The marine smoke bomb MDSH, adopted in 1935, was intended for ships that did not have stationary smoke equipment. As a smoke generator in the checker, a solid smoke mixture based on ammonia and anthracene is used. With a length of 487 mm and a mass of 40-45 kg, its operation time is eight minutes, and the smoke screen created reaches 350 meters in length and 17 meters in height.
Boats were built at Primorsky Plant No. 5 in Leningrad, at Plant No. 341 in Rybinsk and at Plant No. 602 in Vladivostok.
The lead boat entered service with the fleet in 1960.

Project 205U missile boats
- this is an improved project of TsKB-5 (since 1967 - TsMKB Almaz) under the leadership of the chief designer A.P. Gorodyanko, the main observer from the Navy was Captain 2nd Rank Yu.M. Osipov. The project involved strengthening the hull by making it from two-layer KD-2 steel, with one layer made of ordinary steel and the other of stainless steel. Increased the power of the main engines. Updated missile armament of boats.
The power plant is mechanical, three-shaft with three M-504 diesel engines of 5000 hp each. each with reverse gears that provided forward, reverse and idling with a constant rotation of the crankshaft and transferred rotation to three three-bladed fixed-pitch propellers. Diesel engines are equipped with an automatic signaling and protection system. The assigned engine life to the first overhaul is 2,500 hours, and the total life is 10,000 hours at a speed of 2,000 rpm.
The armament of the boats consisted of:
- Of the 4 KT-97 container launchers for launching P-15U Termit anti-ship missiles with folding and automatically unfolding wings after launch, from the Klyon PURS, located two on each side. The containers not only gave a gain in size (about 1 m long and 0.8 m wide), but also provided the necessary microclimate for the rocket due to tightness. The improved missiles had a firing range of 40 km, a cruising speed of 320 m/s, a mass of the warhead of 480 kg, homing was carried out using an active type radar head, in addition, the barometric altimeter was replaced with a radar altimeter, which made it possible to reduce the flight altitude and more accurately sight the missile's course in height .

Project 205M missile boats
- This is a modernized version with the installation of new P-15M missiles of the Termit-M complex, which had twice the firing range than the P-15U Termit and with Strela-2 man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems, to improve air defense.
The armament of the boats consisted of:
- Of the 4 KT-97M container launchers for launching P-15M Termit-M anti-ship missiles with folding and automatically unfolding wings after launch, from the Klyon PURS, located two on each side. The upgraded missiles had a firing range of 80 km, a cruising speed of 350 m/s, a warhead mass of 480 kg, homing was carried out using an active-type radar head with a radar altimeter, which made it possible to reduce the flight altitude above sea level to 25-50 meters.
- Of 2 paired 30-mm AK-230M assault rifles with a barrel length of 71.3 calibers, one on the tank and one in the stern. The rate of fire of the installation was 1,000 rounds / min. on the stem. The vertical pointing angle is from -12 to + 87 °, and the horizontal one is up to 180 °. The initial speed of the projectile is 1060 m / s, the firing range is up to 5 km. The feed of the machine guns is tape, in the tape for each barrel, 500 rounds. Shooting is carried out in bursts of up to 100 shots per barrel, after which cooling is required for 15-20 minutes. It is allowed to fire until the ammunition is used up (500 rounds) with interruptions every 100 shots for 15-20 seconds. After that, it is necessary to replace the barrel and repair the machine. The calculation of the gun included 2 people. Unit weight 1926 kg. The machines had a remote control system from the Kolonka PUS and remote automatic control from the UAO MR-104 Rys radar.
- Of 8 sets of MANPADS "Strela-2". As soon as the head of the rocket leaves the launch tube, the rudders open under the action of the springs. Then the stabilizers recline and at a distance of 5-6 m from the launcher the sustainer engine is activated. At the beginning of the main engine, under the action of inertia forces, a special inertial stopper is turned off, which prepares the explosive device for cocking. At a distance of 80-250 m from the launcher, the second stage of protection is activated - the pyrotechnic fuses completely burn out, and the preparation of the explosive device is completed. In flight, the homing head constantly controls the direction to the target: regardless of the position of the longitudinal axis of the missile, the head follows the target and corrects the missile's course until it meets the target. In case of a miss, after 12-15 seconds from the moment of launch, the self-liquidator is activated and the rocket is destroyed. The speed of the 9K32 self-guided anti-aircraft missile is 600 m/s, the firing range is from 800 meters to 3.4 km, the ceiling is from 50 meters to 1.5 km at a target speed of up to 260 m/s. Control system: passive infrared homing head. Weight (complex): 14.5 kg.
The boats were modernized at Primorsky Plant No. 5 in Leningrad and at Plant No. 602 in Vladivostok.
The lead boat entered service with the fleet in 1968.

In total, boats were built from 1968 to 1976 - 11 units.
- The main drawback of the boats that emerged by the end of the 1960s, in particular, in local conflicts, was the weakness of artillery weapons, since the 30-mm AK-230 guns, due to their short firing range, turned out to be ineffective in combating aircraft and helicopters, as well as in artillery duels with enemy boats, as a rule, armed with 40-mm machine guns (and since the beginning of the 1970s, with 76-mm rapid-fire guns). 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. As of December 2001, not a single boat of Project 205 remained in the fleet.
The reference book contains information about the ship composition of the USSR Navy as of December 1991. However, it traces the fate of the ships of the Soviet fleet until 2001. Data are given on the warships that were in service, under construction and designed, their names, serial numbers, dates of laying, launching , commissioning, decommissioning of the fleet, modernization or re-equipment, enterprises (factories, firms)-builders and design firms. It is told about the features of projects, design, construction, repairs and upgrades, the most characteristic accidents and important stages of active service. Schemes of appearance, longitudinal sections of all projects and their modifications, numerous photographs are presented. The handbook is published in four volumes: vol. I. Submarines (in two volumes); vol. II. Attack Ships (in two volumes); vol. III. Anti-submarine ships; vol. IV. Landing and mine-sweeping ships. The appendices to each volume provide the main tactical and technical characteristics of the weapons of the ships of the Soviet and Russian Navy: missile, artillery, anti-submarine, radio engineering and aviation. The reference book is based on materials from the open domestic and foreign press. For the first time, the ship composition of the USSR Navy is presented with the greatest possible completeness. It is recommended to everyone who is interested in the state and development of the domestic fleet.

The missile boat pr. 205 (code "Mosquito") was developed by TsKB-5 (currently Almaz TsMKB) 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, the 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 rocket and artillery weapons; ensuring the simultaneous launch of all four missiles and the electromagnetic compatibility of the RTS.
The hull of the boat was made of steel (SHL-45 steel with a thickness of 5 to 8 mm), with combined contours (stiff-chine at the bow and sharp-chine at the stern), which made it possible to provide it with the required seaworthiness and the possibility of using the KR with sea waves up to 4 points without restrictions in terms of speed, as well as with waves up to 5 points at speeds up to 30 knots. The hull is divided by watertight bulkheads into 10 compartments.
Unsinkability is ensured when any two adjacent compartments are flooded. The basis of the power plant is three seven-eight-block (six cylinders in each block) star-shaped diesel engines, which had small dimensions and masses for that time. However, these engines turned out to be unreliable and had a short resource. Moreover, in the places of basing, only the aggregate replacement of engines was possible, and their repairs were carried out at the manufacturing plant.
Boats pr. 205 had the following modifications: pr. 205U, pr. 205T; project 205Mod. pr. 205E pr. 205EK B; pr. 205ER and pr. 2054. On the basis of pr. 205 were created: torpedo boats pr. 206M (code "Storm"); missile boats pr. 206MR (code "Whirlwind") and PSKR pr. 205P (code "Tarantula"). In addition, in the same building, but with a modified power plant, a target boat, pr. 1392KTs, and a target driver, pr. 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 rocket, 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 double-layer steel hull (KD-2). One layer was made of ordinary 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 Vladivostok Shipyard (4 units) according to Project 205 Mod. with the replacement of P-15U missiles with P-15M.
In the late 1970s, one of the boats of project 205U (R-161) was modernized according to project 205EM. For experimental purposes, the Hals radar and the Harpoon radar with a new lattice mast were placed on it. A similar RTV was supposed to be installed on a new generation of missile boats, pr. 12411 (code "Lightning").
In 1963, an experimental boat, project 205E, was built at the Primorsky Shipyard with a bow hydrofoil (NPK) and a controlled trim plate, which ensured the achievement of 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 set of P-25 cruise missiles with a range of up to 40 km. This complex was not put into service, since in terms of its combat capabilities it practically did not differ from the complex with P-15U missiles.
The wing complex worked out on the boat pr. 205E was used in pr. 206M, pr. 206MR and pr. 205EKB.
In 1963, also at the Primorsky Shipyard, a boat, project 2054, was built with an experimental electric power system running on 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 underwater wing and a controlled trim plate (like pr. 205E). Another modification of pr. 205 was the boat pr. 205ER, which was specially intended for export sales and had equipment adapted for operation in tropical conditions.
The construction of boats of all modifications was carried out by the flow-position method. The corps moved from one slipway position to another, being subjected to a strictly regulated scope of work on each of them with the obligatory acceptance of the QCD and VP, 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 were built, pr. export sales, one under Project 2054, one under Project 205EKB, and the rest under Project 205); at the Vladivostok Shipyard there are 41 ships (4 units according to project 205ER, ordered by the Indonesian government, but included in the Soviet Navy, 13 units according to project 205U, and the rest according to project 205); at the Rybinsk Shipyard 47 along 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 the PRC according to 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 AK-230 guns, due to the short firing range, turned out to be ineffective in combating aircraft and helicopters, as well as in artillery duels with enemy boats, as a rule, armed with 40-mm machine guns (and since the beginning of the 1970s with 76-mm rapid-fire guns). This circumstance forced to place on Soviet boats pr. 205 and pr. 205U MANPADS "Strela-2" (later "Strela-3"), and in 1977 to start building the Republic of Kazakhstan, pr. 206MR with 76-mm gun AK-176. 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 was carried out along pr. 205M.
As of December 2001, not a single boat of Project 205 remained in the fleet.

Project 205 missile boats(code "Mosquito", according to NATO classification - Osa class missile boat) - a series of Soviet missile boats.
Story
The project was developed at the Almaz Central Design Bureau according to the tactical and technical assignment (TTZ) of the Armed Forces of the Union in 1956. Chief Designer E. I. Yukhnin. The new boats differed from the previously produced project 183R boats in a steel hull (unified with project 206 torpedo boats), reinforced armament and increased seaworthiness.
An interesting design feature of the boat is the rounded shape of the superstructures and the specific shape of the deck, which provide improved flushing in the event of radioactive contamination. Also unique 42-cylinder 6-row radial diesel engines M503 were used. (English) Russian Leningrad machine-building plant named after Voroshilov.
It is a logical continuation of the project series 183R Komar.
The Project 205 lead missile boat became part of the Navy USSR in 1960. These ships were built in a large series until 1970.
War of attrition (1967 - 1970)
In October 1970, Egyptian Osa missile boats sank an Israeli military transport ship with a displacement of 10,000 tons, which was carrying out radar surveillance and electronic intelligence near the coast. .
Indo-Pakistani War of 1971
In mid-1971, the Indian Navy received 8 project 205 missile boats: Vinash, Vidyat, Widget, Veer, Nirghat, Nirghit, Nashak and Nipat. The boats were part of the 25th squadron of the Indian Navy in the naval base in Bombay.
On the night of December 4-5, the Indian Navy, with the participation of Project 205 boats, conducted Operation Trident. To attack the main naval base of Pakistan, Karachi, the missile boats Nipat, Nirghat and Veer were withdrawn, under the cover of two frigates and one tanker.
The first to launch an attack was the Nirghat 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 45 minutes later the ship sank, killing 222 of the 268 Pakistani sailors.
The Nipat missile boat hit a Liberian Venus Challenger transport ship carrying American ammunition from Saigon to Pakistan with 1 P-15 missile. The hit led to the detonation of shells, a powerful explosion rocked Karachi, the ship broke into 2 parts and after 8 minutes completely disappeared under water. All Pakistani and American sailors on board were killed. The Indian boat destroyed the Pakistani destroyer Shah Jahan (displacement 1710 tons) with the second missile. The entire commanding staff of the destroyer died, the ship burned down completely, did not sink and was scrapped.
The Veer missile boat with 1 P-15 missile sank the Pakistani minesweeper Muhafiz (displacement 360 tons), killing 33 Pakistani sailors. An 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 loss. It is worth noting that the Pakistanis first perceived the strike on Karachi as an air raid, and during the operation, Pakistani anti-aircraft guns fired barrage at "Indian aircraft" all night. The next day, the Pakistani frigate Zulfiqar was sent from the destroyer Khaibar to rescue survivors. Pakistani F-86 Saber aircraft mistook the frigate for an Indian missile boat and fired 900 cannon shells at it. The frigate was heavily damaged and many Pakistani sailors were killed and wounded.
On the night of December 8-9, the Indian Navy carried out Operation Python, during which two frigates and just one Vinash missile boat attacked Karachi.
When approaching 22 kilometers, Vinash fired all 4 P-15 missiles, the first missile hit the refinery on the shore. Fire from burning oil tanks lit up Karachi. The Pakistanis interpreted the attack as an air raid. After 6 minutes, Pakistani anti-aircraft guns opened barrage fire over Karachi. The shells of the Pakistani large-caliber guns of the Himalaya stronghold in the dark looked like flying rockets and the Pakistani anti-aircraft gunners of other guns began to try to shoot them down. The port was in real chaos. The second missile of the Indian boat hit the Panamanian tanker Gulf Star (displacement of 20,000 tons), the hit caused fuel detonation and the ship sank almost immediately. The third missile hit the British transport ship Harmattan, the ship caught fire and soon sank. The wreckage of the exploding ship was bombarded by the Pakistani minesweeper Munsif. The fourth missile hit the Pakistani 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, as a result, the fire of Pakistani guns accidentally burned the Greek merchant ship Zoe, carrying goods to Pakistan. A Pakistani patrol boat, firing towards an Indian boat, accidentally shot through the side of the British merchant ship Eucadia. The Indians returned without loss.
As a result of two operations, Indian missile boats "Osa" caused very significant damage to the Pakistani naval base of Karachi. 7 large ships were destroyed, 2 more of their ships were hit by the Pakistanis, 12 out of 34 large oil storage facilities were destroyed. The port burned for about 7 more days. The economic losses of the refinery alone amounted to about $3 billion.
Doomsday War (1973)
On October 6, on the first day of the war, during a sea battle near Latakia, one Syrian project 205 boat was sunk by two hits of anti-ship missiles Gabriel 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 on 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 out of three boats were able to launch 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, in turn, Egyptian MiG-17 fighters called for 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 at 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 did not hit the target, but one Israeli boat was damaged from a close gap, 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. They managed to dodge six missiles, but the remaining six, two each in three boats, hit the target. Moreover, in all cases, hits by Israeli anti-ship missiles were not enough to sink, all boats were achieved by artillery fire. The fourth Egyptian boat dodged all the missiles and went to port. The Egyptians called in fighter-bombers to help drive off the Israeli fleet.
On the same day, returning Israeli boats near the port were attacked by one Egyptian missile boat. An Egyptian boat released 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 Saar 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 equipment and all the missiles did not hit the target. Syrian boats withdrew to the port. Israeli sailors, knowing that the port is 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 another Wasp, which also sank.
According to the statements of the 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 of these boats (according to some reports, even 2).
Egyptian Osa missile boats participated 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. 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.
On November 29, 1980, two Iranian Kaman-class missile corvettes blockaded and attacked the Iraqi ports of Al-Fao and Umm Qasr. To release the blockade, Iraq sent a group of five Osa missile boats. The Iranian corvette Paykan attacked first, firing two RGM-84 Harpoon missiles and sinking two boats. The Iraqis, with return fire, sank the Paykan itself with two P-15 missiles (displacement 234 tons). Several F-4 Phantom fighter-bombers flew to the aid of the Iranians, which hit three remaining Iraqi boats with AGM-65 Maverick missiles, two of which received hits on one missile, were damaged and out of order, the third received hits from three missiles and sunk. After this debacle, 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 sea 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 Bushehr as a bait. Two Iraqi Super-Frelon helicopters armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles flew near the boats at sea level. When approaching the base, two Iranian frigates of the PF-103 class (displacement 900 tons) came out towards 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 Kharq Island. Their damage 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 the naval base of Kuwait Al-Qalaya (garrison of 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 craft). One Iraqi boat was shot down during the war.
Among those captured were 5 TNC-45 class missile boats (displacement 228 tons) Merija, Mashuwah, Istiqlal, Al Ahmadi and Al Mubareek and 1 missile boat type TPB-57 (displacement 350 tons) Sabhan.
During Operation Desert Storm, coalition aircraft damaged 5 Iraqi Osa missile boats, another 1 managed to escape into Iranian territorial waters. After the end of the war, this boat remained one of this type in the Iraqi Navy.
Kuzin V.P., Nikolsky V.I. Navy of the USSR 1945-1991. - St. Petersburg. : Historical Maritime Society, 1996. - 653 p.For some reason, many military experts believe that the era of missile boats (rka) has come to an end. Mass production of these ships took place in the 60-80s.
They have reason to believe so - the boat is practically defenseless from air attacks, and until the moment the missile boat is used in modern conditions, it simply will not survive.
Therefore, it becomes, at first glance, pointless to continue building ships with a displacement of up to 350 tons with missile weapons.
But, firstly, putting a bold cross on boats with missile weapons is not entirely appropriate. Missile ships, with accurate target designation and air cover, are still quite a formidable weapon.
Secondly, the rather quick departure of these ships from the sphere of military interests is due to a change in the political situation - the collapse of the USSR, the main producer of the RK, as well as the collapse of all the countries of the Warsaw Pact.
To date, eight countries are armed with about 70 Project 205 missiles. These countries are the first in the list of possible buyers of the latest Katran missile, created by the Almaz Central Design Bureau with the maximum requirements for a modern ship of this class.
The main tasks of the "Katran"
The ship is designed to counter and destroy enemy surface ships and patrol coastal areas and water areas.
"Katran" project 20970 is considered "upgraded for modern conditions of warfare at sea missile ship project 205." Perhaps because it was the Almaz Central Design Bureau that developed the 205 project and it was the basis of the Osa RC that became the platform for modern domestic-made weapons. In addition, the replacement of propulsion systems with engines from the well-known German manufacturer of propulsion systems Tognum benefited.
Rka "Katran" can be used to solve the following tasks:
- inflicting a missile attack on any enemy surface ships;
- assistance to coastal defense units in repelling enemy attacks from the sea;
- providing cover for the landing of amphibious assault forces;
- conducting reconnaissance;
- protection of territorial waters and sea areas.
The main characteristics of the ship
The well-designed hull of the ship is adapted for navigation in the northern regions and withstands collisions with ice up to 40 centimeters. The seaworthiness of the boat makes it possible to carry out assigned tasks with sea waves up to 7 points, and to use missile weapons at 5 points without any restrictions on driving characteristics. The survivability of the boat is maintained when 2 adjacent compartments are filled with water.
GEM - two diesel engines with a total power of 6800 kW with a water jet drive (two water jets are used).
The range of destruction of the SCRC is up to 130 kilometers, the dead zone is about 5,000 meters.
The length of the boat is 46 meters, the width is 8.4 meters, the draft is 1.8 meters.
Crew - 29 people.
Autonomy of navigation up to 10 days.
Project 205 missile boats are the most massive in their class
