Naval Today said:
The latest landing craft of the project 21820 “Lieutenant Rimsky-Korsakov”, built by the OJSC “Yaroslavsky Shipyard” for the Russian Navy’s Baltic fleet has commenced its factory sea trials.

The cutter was brought to the marine training ranges to check its maneuverability and speed capabilities, functioning of all units, systems and knots, navigation and radio engineering systems, as well as weapon system. Disembarkation of different wheeled and tracked vehicles afloat and on the coast will also be conducted.

After the completion of factory and state tests the landing craft “Lieutenant Rimsky-Korsakov” will join the Baltic fleet.

Landing craft “Lieutenant Rimsky-Korsakov” has a full displacement of 280 tons, overall length of 45 m, overall width of 8.5 m, and a draft of 1,9 m. The vessels’ maximum running speed at the wave heights of 0,75m is 35 knots and its maximum floating distance is 500 sea miles. It can hold a cargo of 140 tons maximum.

These are going to be very decent LCU type landing craft for the Russians.

The will carry up to 140 tons, or three MBT, or five BTR personnel carriers...and do so up to 35 knots supposedly.

Three are launched and another building,. This first one is going through trials preparing to be commissioned.

Agree Chief and Soviet Tank in general more small especially less high deemed very tiring for crews, T-34 furthermore was extremely rustic but very simple to build.

But whatever the tank we can never say that it is a comfortable vehicle.

That's a Delta Class (Delfin) SSBN that has broken through the ice and is test firing a SLBM.

22 Delta Is and IIs were built and commissioned between 1971 and 1976 (all are retired and scrapped), 14 Delta IIIs commissioned between 1976 and 1982 (two of which are still active), and 7 Delta IVs commissioned between 1984 and 1990.(all of which are still active).

Those active vessels are slated to be replaced by the new Borei class SSBN
