The implementation of the Crimean Bridge project has passed the equator. “The main object of this year and next year is the construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait. Now more than 50% of the (construction) work on this structure has been completed,” TASS quotes him as saying Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency Igor Astakhov.

It should be borne in mind that we are talking about the entire construction site, which includes both a road and a railway bridge. The readiness of the road bridge significantly exceeds 50 percent.

“There is no doubt that by the end of 2018, traffic on the road section will already be launched,” Igor Astakhov emphasized.

“A new formation is to be formed - a naval brigade”

The fact that the Crimean Bridge is of strategic importance for Russia is no secret. Just as the threats coming from Kyiv, where hotheads are seriously discussing plans for sabotage actions against the bridge, are no secret.

The Russian authorities take the protection and defense of objects of national importance seriously. The Crimean Bridge will be protected by a naval brigade, which will be formed within the structure of the Russian Guard.

This was stated at a meeting of the Federation Council Director of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov.

“To solve the tasks assigned to the Russian Guard to ensure the safety of transport passage through the Kerch Strait, a new formation will have to be formed - a naval brigade,” RT quotes Zolotov as saying.

A few days ago it became known that the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation intends to purchase four anti-sabotage boats of Project 21980 - code "Rook". This information is posted on the government procurement website.

In September 2017 General Director of the Zelenodolsk Shipyard Renat Mistakhov, where Project 21980 boats are produced, announced its readiness to offer them to the Russian Guard.

Boats of the Rook project: weapons against saboteurs

Anti-sabotage boats "Grachonok" are designed to combat sabotage and terrorist forces and means in the waters of bases and near approaches to them, as well as to assist the Border Service of the FSB of Russia in solving the problems of protecting and protecting the state border of Russia.

The standard set of equipment includes: navigation radar station MR-231 “Pal”, multifunctional optical-electronic television complex for illuminating near air and surface conditions MTK-201M3, automated communication complex AKS R-779-9, integrated bridge system IC “Mostik-21980” ", hydroacoustic station for detecting underwater sabotage forces and means MG-757 "Anapa", remote-controlled underwater vehicle ROV "Falcon" developed by Saab Seaeye Co. LTD with a working depth of up to 300 meters, the Kalmar search and survey complex, which allows you to explore the bottom surface at a depth of up to 200 meters at a boat speed of up to 8 knots, as well as a ship diving complex with a pressure chamber (SVK), designed to provide diving descents during emergency rescue, underwater technical and other types of underwater work.

The armament of each boat consists of a marine machine gun mount (MTPU) with an installed KPVT machine gun of 14.5 mm caliber, a small-sized remote-controlled anti-sabotage grenade launcher system 98U, a hand-held double-barreled anti-sabotage grenade launcher DP-64 "Nepryadva" and 4 man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems "Igla- 1".

Boats of this project are being built at three Russian enterprises at once - in addition to Zelenodolsk, in Rybinsk and Vladivostok.

Hydroacoustic security and defense systems: neutralizing combat swimmers at the touch of a button

Currently, 14 boats of the project have already been put into operation, and 4 are under construction. Contracts have also been signed for the construction of several more boats.

At the beginning of October 2017, it became known that the Crimean Bridge will be equipped with special Russian-made sonar systems, which are being developed by the Atoll Research Institute. The system will consist of underwater and surface equipment for active sonar in a protected water area. The signal will undergo primary processing and will be transmitted to a stationary surface observation point for immediate detention of the intruder or neutralization of a potentially dangerous object.

Systems of this kind are already used today to protect Russian Navy facilities and strategically important civilian enterprises.

Without going into details, we can say that these systems make it possible not only to control the coastline, surface and depths of the sea, but also to neutralize combat swimmers and saboteurs with a simple press of a button.

In 2016, information appeared in the media that the Russian Guard was planning to create a detachment of combat scuba divers, whose tasks would include repelling saboteur attacks and searching for explosives. At the same time, there was talk of providing the new unit with high-speed anti-sabotage boats, as well as special small arms.

The naval units of the Internal Troops have existed for 40 years

In fact, the creation of a naval brigade for the protection and defense of the Crimean Bridge is not something completely new. In March 1978, it will be 40 years since the creation of naval units within the structure of the internal troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The creation of such units began in 1976, when the Order of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee of May 5, 1976 “On the protection of artificial structures on the Trans-Baikal and Far Eastern Railways” was issued.

The main task assigned to such units is to ensure the protection of important government facilities and structures on communications located in the coastal part of the territorial sea of ​​the Russian Federation, on rivers, lakes and other surface water bodies.

With the creation of the Federal Service of National Guard Troops, these units became part of it. Today, naval units of the guards serve in Khabarovsk, Murmansk, Severobaikalsk, on lakes Irtyash, Sinara and Silach, as well as in the Leningrad region.

According to available information, locations for new units of the Russian Guard are currently being planned, which will be responsible for ensuring the safe operation of the Crimean Bridge.

I would like to believe that even the information that can be disclosed publicly will discourage anyone from trying to do anything regarding the bridge.


The Black Sea area around the construction of the Crimean Bridge is becoming overgrown with military installations. Russian authorities are bringing combat vessels and radio systems to the construction site to protect against any possible threats. We tell you who is protecting the “construction site of the century” and the surrounding area.

Russian authorities are organizing access control on the Kerch Bridge. All of its land sections will be surrounded by a fence, and at the entrances to the bridge - on the Kerch, Taman banks and Tuzla Island - checkpoints will be installed to inspect vehicles and citizens.

And the other day, RIA Novosti Crimea reported that from the first days the construction of the Crimean Bridge was being monitored by patrol boats of the Russian FSB border service. Military vessels are located off the coast of Kerch.

The patrol boat "Sobol" is commanded by Alexey Saulin from Kostroma - graduate of the Coast Guard Institute of the FSB of Russia in Anapa. He told reporters that he himself wanted to go to serve in Kerch: “I independently chose where I would serve and went to Crimea. I was in my fourth year of study when Crimea returned to Russia in 2014, and I immediately decided for myself that I would come to serve here.” According to Saulin, his crew protects the Russian state border, internal sea waters and the future bridge across the Kerch Strait, and also fights local poachers.

According to RIA Crimea, a Russian vessel of the Lamantin project with a carrying capacity of 112 tons is also being tested off the coast of Kerch. It can work up to ten days in autonomous mode.

And behind the lighthouse on Cape Lantern there is a radio technical post, says the acting officer. head of the department in Bagerovo Vladislav Kochubey. The Russian military is watching from it what is happening in the Kerch Strait - including with the help of thermal imagers. “We control the ships that pass through the site, and, thanks to the location of the point, we can monitor the situation in the area of ​​the Kerch ferry crossing, the transport crossing through the Kerch Strait,” he says.

Other military vessels and units are also involved in protecting the Kerch Strait, Russian officials say.

Underwater robots and marine crews with machine guns

The bridge across the Kerch Strait is guarded by the Russian army and special services, the permanent representative of Crimea to the Russian President said in March last year Georgy Muradov. "Safety (bridge - KR) will be provided by all forces, including the military and security services,” he told Russian media.

According to the former first deputy commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Igor Kasatonov, special units of the Black Sea Fleet will be involved in the defense of the Crimean Bridge. “Issues of security and defense of the bridge have been transferred to the Novorossiysk base. In the future, the bridge will be guarded by special units, and the navy will be responsible for security from the sea,” he says.

Last September, Izvestia, citing unnamed sources, reported that Russian special services in the Kerch Strait tested autonomous surface-underwater robotic systems “Penguin”, which are supposedly capable of detecting explosive devices and enemy divers. The publication writes that the tests were carried out successfully, the issue of supplying these complexes is being resolved.

A new military formation - a naval brigade - will also be brought in to guard the bridge across the Kerch Strait, says the head of the Russian Guard. Victor Zolotov: “In the newly created Southern District of Troops, a new formation will be formed - a naval brigade.” According to Zolotov, representatives of the Russian Guard are already guarding the Artek children's center and the energy bridge in the Kerch Strait area.

The naval brigades may include detachments of combat swimmers who will search for ammunition from the Second World War and carry out special operations in the depths of the Black Sea, Zvezda reports, citing unnamed experts:

“According to experts, in order to neutralize intruders under water, Russian Guard swimmers can receive weapons - underwater ADS assault rifles, PSS pistols and special watercraft for fast movement under water, similar to those that will be included in the weapons of the PDSS fighters of the navy.”

Hydroacoustic systems

Zvezda experts note that in order to suppress and quickly intercept violators at sea, the Russian Guard is going to order four Project 21980 Grachonok anti-sabotage boats.

The Russian TV channel TVC reports that in the waters of the Kerch Strait there are landing boats of project 03160 “Raptor” - these are the fastest sea vessels of the Russian Navy.

Director for development of civil products and innovations of the Morinformsystem-Agat concern Stanislav Chui in October he said that special hydroacoustic systems could be installed to protect the bridge in the Kerch Strait. Chui notes that they will help not only to detect the violator, but also to transmit the data necessary for his arrest. This system is used in Russian water bodies.

Crimean Bridge at night

My dear readers, today is a story about how the Crimean Bridge is protected. The bridge is being built at an accelerated pace, with construction crews working in shifts day and night. There are rumors that the bridge will be completed ahead of schedule, of course, this is joyful, I think both Russians and Crimeans are happy, although we are also Russians.

But the thought comes that not everyone is happy about the completion of such a huge construction project; there are a certain number of people who are far from happy about this construction, but as they say, “it hurts their eyes.” There are certain people who still do not believe that the bridge is being built. In a previous article, I talked about the trip of Crimean bloggers to the construction site of the century - to the Crimean bridge under construction, they climbed there, jumped on the bridge, showed everyone that there is a bridge, it is being built. I have a video posted in the article ““. I don’t know whether those who still didn’t believe were convinced or not. Well, this is not the worst thing, it’s much worse that there are people hatching plans to destroy the Crimean bridge. There are such people, and these are the problems of Crimea, although not only Crimea, all of Russia needs this bridge. How are bridge protection problems solved? In Crimea, a special unit has been created to guard the Crimean bridge under construction, then, after construction is completed, this unit will continue to guard the finished bridge. The naval brigade unit for the protection of the Crimean Bridge is part of the Federal National Guard troops and is equipped with unique technical means. There are night vision devices, there are underwater vision devices, and many others that are unknown to us and will not be shown to us. Yes, we don’t need to know all the intricacies of guarding the bridge; I’m sure that they are ultra-modern and reliable, as well as the people who will guard it. It is planned to install Russian hydroacoustic systems to guard the bridge, which will allow the intruder to be located. Such systems are produced by the concern's subsidiary, the Atoll Research Institute. This institute specializes in methods of hydroacoustic, radar, optical and thermal imaging detection of illegal actions in the protection of water and near-water objects. These systems are now used to protect hydroelectric dams, protecting them from unauthorized intrusion and possible illegal activities. As we see, there are excellent Russian means of defense and we don’t need foreign ones.

Modern watercraft are also being purchased, for example, Grachenok anti-sabotage boats, although their delivery date is November 2019. These boats are specially designed to combat sabotage and terrorist forces. Director of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov told how the Crimean bridge is guarded. He explained that the boats are equipped with: “the Mostik-21980 IMS system, the MG-757 Anapa hydroacoustic station for detecting underwater sabotage forces and means, and the Falcon remote-controlled underwater vehicle with a working depth of up to 300 meters. There is a search and survey complex “Squid” that allows you to explore the bottom surface at a depth of up to 200 meters at a boat speed of up to 8 knots. The boat is equipped with a ship’s diving complex with a pressure chamber (HVC), designed to provide diving descents during rescue, underwater technical and other types of underwater work.”

“The armament of each boat consists of a naval machine gun mount (MTPU) with an installed KPVT machine gun of 14.5 mm caliber, a small-sized remote-controlled anti-sabotage grenade launcher system 98U, a hand-held double-barreled anti-sabotage grenade launcher DP-64 “Nepryadva” and 4 man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems “Igla” -1". And now there is a group of military scuba divers on the bridge.

These are the times now, it is not enough to build, it is necessary to protect. Although such times have apparently always existed, only the threat of terrorist attacks was once less, once greater. I remember Soviet films about spies and border violators; now they seem naive and funny, but people who lived at that time were also exposed to the threat of terrorist attacks. I think we don’t need to worry, the problem of how to protect the Crimean Bridge will be solved. How quickly time flies, quite recently I wrote about the beginning of the construction of the Crimean Bridge (you can read) and now it is already more than half built. The day is not far off when the first car and the first train will solemnly cross the bridge; someone will be very lucky, someone will be the first passenger of this train.

A naval brigade will be created to guard the transport passage through the Kerch Strait. This was stated by the director of the Russian Guard, Viktor Zolotov. According to him, the federal service has accumulated extensive experience in the field of security. There are 74 strategic sites under the protection of the department. The issue of protecting the Crimean Bridge has become particularly relevant in connection with the arrests of Ukrainian saboteurs in the region. The crossing will have to be protected primarily from attacks from Kyiv, experts say.

A new unit will appear in the structure of the Russian Guard, whose responsibilities will include guarding the Crimean Bridge. According to existing plans, in 2019 a transport crossing will connect the peninsula and mainland Russia by bus and railway.

“To solve the tasks assigned to the Russian Guard to ensure the safety of transport passage through the Kerch Strait, a new formation will have to be formed - a naval brigade,” said the director of the Russian Guard, Viktor Zolotov, speaking at a meeting in the Federation Council.

According to him, the department’s employees have accumulated quite a lot of experience in ensuring the security of objects of strategic importance. As Zolotov clarified, 74 important government facilities are under the protection of the Russian Guard.

As part of the Crimean Bridge project, more than half of the construction work has already been completed. This was announced on Wednesday by Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency of the Russian Federation Igor Astakhov. In the summer, builders carried out two key operations: installing the road and railway arches of the bridge.

The first piles began to be driven into the bottom of the Kerch Strait in the spring of 2016. The general contractor Stroygazmontazh expects that the highway through the Kerch Strait will open on December 18, 2018, and the railway on December 1, 2019. The bridge will stretch for 19 km and will become the longest in Russia.

Scuba diver squad

In mid-September 2016, the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Maxim Sokolov announced that in the design documentation of the bridge there is a section dedicated to anti-terrorism security.

Shortly before this, information appeared in the media that the Russian Guard was planning to create a detachment of combat scuba divers, whose tasks would include repelling saboteur attacks and searching for explosives. In addition, combat divers must neutralize ammunition from the Great Patriotic War and drive away scuba diving enthusiasts from the bridge piles.

  • Training of combat swimmers of the special forces of the Russian Guard

Rosgvardiya scuba divers will be provided with special small arms (in particular, the ADS rifle-grenade launcher complex), high-speed anti-sabotage boats and surveillance equipment that are capable of monitoring the sea depths.

The boats of the Russian Guard (presumably Project 21980 “Rook”) will be equipped with special reconnaissance devices that will allow them to detect enemy personnel and underwater targets.

On March 30, 2017, Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Georgy Muradov said that the security of the Crimean bridge would be controlled by “all forces, including the military component” and intelligence services.

  • National Guard of the Russian Federation

The editor-in-chief of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, Viktor Murakhovsky, believes that the Crimean Bridge will mainly be protected from saboteurs. The establishment of a naval brigade means that the Russian Guard will focus on protecting the water area, including monitoring the underwater situation.

“In addition to boats, autonomous underwater vehicles, high-resolution hydroacoustic systems and stationary surveillance equipment will be used, which will monitor the situation around the bridge day and night,” Murakhovsky said in an interview with RT.

As Murakhovsky clarified, the Crimean Bridge is a strategic object of the first category, which involves taking special measures to protect against “active external influence.”

The expert believes that the state will also provide air defense for the transport crossing. According to Murakhovsky, the Buk and Tor anti-aircraft systems, as well as several radar stations, will cope with this task.

Protection from Ukraine

Meanwhile, ensuring the security of the Crimean Bridge is no longer a theory, but the everyday work of the Russian special services. In Crimea, FSB officers regularly identify spies and saboteurs who were trained by the SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Thus, on August 12, 2017, the FSB detained Gennady Limeshko, a native of the Kharkov region. During interrogation, he admitted that he had undergone reconnaissance and sabotage training. The Ukrainian had to report to the curators about the blackout of coastal Sudak.

Ukrainian officials claim that the Crimean Bridge poses a threat to national security. Kyiv fears that the transport crossing will restrict the movement of ships from Mariupol and Berdyansk, located on the Sea of ​​​​Azov.

Experts from the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies (Kyiv) believe that Russia’s actions are “exclusively military-political in nature, forming a new field of socio-economic risks of stagnation in the Ukrainian Azov region,<…>increase threats in the context of a land corridor to occupied Crimea.”

The President of the Association of Veterans of the Alpha anti-terrorism unit, Sergei Goncharov, said in an interview with RT that Russia will have to protect the Crimean Bridge primarily from encroachments by Ukraine. In his opinion, the Russian Guard is capable of coping with this task.

“Kyiv will do everything possible to prevent the construction and, through sabotage, to prevent the operation of this bridge. However, the Russian Guard has specially trained fighters to reliably protect the Kerch Bridge,” Goncharov concluded.

The destruction of neo-Banderaism and aggressive Ukrainian nationalism is Russia’s top priority

Konstantin Mochar

Recently I asked myself and all my readers a question in an article of the same name. And the last thing I wanted to do was write its continuation - I hate TV series - Mexican and others like them, endlessly intriguing and endlessly flowing "from empty to empty", as if their only goal is the desire of the creators to tie the viewer to the TV longer. It’s as if the creators’ accomplices were supposed to “quietly” ransack the apartment at this time, stealthily robbing the audience.

Although, this is probably true - they steal, most of all through advertising of things that the viewer does not need, which the viewer, thanks to this advertising, will buy anyway. However, to get closer to the topic, the reader’s most alarming comment, along with pride for Russia and for such an unprecedented bridge, as well as worry for its prosperous fate, forced me to return to the recent topic again.

In the previous material about the vulnerability of the Crimean Bridge, everything revolved around possible missile attacks - Ukrainian - on the bridge, and ours - on the windows of the Kyiv generals. Therefore, let’s try to close the issue with the Ukrainian Armed Forces missiles completely.

As we know, the former Ukraine, of the more or less serious missiles, only had Tochka-U from the Soviet legacy. I also agree with the opinion of my colleagues that “after the salvo on the Tochkoy-U bridge, Russia will put an end to (former) Ukraine,” and earlier than expected. Moreover, in the Donbass these missiles “hit anywhere, in residential areas, in vacant lots, they fell in an open field and did not even always explode”

And there is also the Alder rocket, which is a modified projectile from the Smerch MLRS. It appears to be controlled using all-moving stabilizers. But since the rocket is thin and, as a result, will not withstand strong overloads, we can talk about it not so much as controllable, but as adjustable.

It was also supposed to be "Grom" - an operational-tactical missile system based on a solid-fuel ballistic missile, developed by the Yuzhnoye design bureau. For a very long time they have been talking about the Grom-2 rocket, which is “just about” to appear, but still does not appear.

In addition, “development and even successful testing does not at all mean the possibility of adopting any model into service. Ukraine does not have an ammunition industry of this required profile. It is possible, of course, to make two prototypes, even three or four, but the point is to producing them, in the words of N.S. Khrushchev, “like sausages,” that is, mass-produced, is now out of the question.” Moreover, we already talked last time about the S-400, which reliably guards the Crimean Bridge, and the entire Crimea, and the entire Russian territory.

However, here is a comment under the article “Is the Crimean Bridge really vulnerable to enemy attacks?” incredibly excited me and forced me to return to this topic (my edition): Ivan Ivanovich: “They can stupidly load a couple of sea containers in the port onto some vessel and drop 40 tons of explosives under the bridge.”

Because you can really come up with a lot of ways, after using any of them the Crimean Bridge really won’t stand. There is also a theory of probability, and any security systems fight not the cause, but the effect.

The reason is a very specific need, expressed in the need for every “Ukrainian” resident of the former Ukraine to destroy this bridge (who so shamefully, for so long, believed in the impossibility of building it!). And also - the “flight” of Crimea to richer Russia, shameful for Ukrainians, from the territory in which it remains. And also - instilled from the outside, through telezombification by Russophobia, hatred of Russia, of Russians, hatred of that part of the inhabitants who relatively recently were themselves Russians, in a broad sense - the descendants of the inhabitants of Novaya, and Malaya (or South), and Podkarpackie, and Galicia Rus'.

And since most of these descendants (or their parents) had a Soviet upbringing, no matter how much they deny this, they, along with frustration, will also have a feeling of their own betrayal, deeply hidden inside.

Of course, any person, due at least to the influence of the instinct of self-preservation, strives to quickly get rid of a mentally traumatic emotional and moral state, to bring himself to a psychologically balanced state. But, alas, in search of a psychological compensator for all this terrible “bouquet”, a person usually drives himself even more into a corner - more often he comes up with false justifications for the correctness of his previous actions, further aggravating the situation with new, even more vile actions. It’s not for nothing that they say that there is no worse hatred than the hatred of a traitor - that’s why they often become drunkards, take drugs, or even commit suicide.

Moreover, to this complex “bouquet” an inferiority complex is inevitably added, caused by “smallness” (“Little Russia”) and “outskirts” (“outskirts-Ukraine”), the psychological compensator of which inevitably becomes the so-called Ukrainian nationalism.

And on top of all this is the “fresh” problem of Crimea for residents of the former Ukraine. After all, it is aggravated for them by the fact that mentally these people are noticeably greater owners than other Russians. So from the very time when Crimea sailed back to Russia, a huge resentment has been plugging their brains: “How dare they take away what we are already accustomed to consider ours?!”

In connection with all of the above - and a terrible combination of complexes, nationalism and a feeling of one’s own betrayal, and a feeling of resentment from the “stolen Crimea” - there is a huge need for the destruction of the Crimean Bridge. But Marx also very correctly said that if a need exists, it will be realized - sooner or later, one way or another.

That’s why I remember the phrase that “the best cure for dandruff is removing the head.” Only in this case, this is not jokes, not playful wisdom, but “harsh reality” - while the former Ukraine is alive, the terrible needs of the unfortunate bearers of Ukrainianness are also alive. And that means we need to save them from this misfortune, and get rid of a very definite threat to the existence of the Crimean Bridge. A threat that is felt much more acutely than the immanent, but centuries-old and non-specific, need of our global enemies to destroy Russia, Russians, Slavs and Orthodoxy.

And since any reason is complex, now we have seen another weight-reason in the Everest of other equally weighty reasons that should lead us to an understanding - the former Ukraine and Ukrainians need denazification as quickly as possible.

However, after this destruction of neo-Banderaism, it is easy to cure all former residents of the former Ukraine who did not have time to become criminals. More precisely, they will “automatically” heal themselves as soon as radical Ukrainianism as a concept disappears, as soon as all regions of the former Ukraine become Federal Districts of Russia or parts thereof, as soon as people are dezombified by a tele-impact opposite in sign to that previously applied to them.

When, very specifically, for each “fake” “knowledge” about “hostile and aggressive” Russia, a very detailed, very factual explanation will be given. At the same time, of course, each new resident of Russia, former resident of the former Ukraine, will remain loyal to the Russian government (as he was, alas, loyal to the recent neo-Bandera, anti-people government).

A little later, as soon as he begins to feel like a resident, a citizen of vast Russia, gradually and completely imperceptibly, he will be filled with pride in this. And little by little an understanding will come, a feeling that he is just as Russian as other Russians, albeit with a little “accent.” And in him, this new Russian, along with the disappearance of the inferiority complex, Ukrainian nationalism will completely disappear (the cause disappears, and its effect also disappears.

After this, the new citizen of the new Russia will sincerely rejoice at both Crimea, which has blossomed incredibly in its native harbor, and the Crimean Bridge, so convenient, beautiful and majestic...
