Vessel history:
Large sea tanker project 1599B
Sea tankers, which served in the Navy in the mid-60s, no longer fully satisfied the Navy. The exit of the fleet to remote areas of the oceans for military service, and in the 70s, the appearance of aircraft carriers pr.1143 in its composition, required the creation of new, fairly large sea tankers.
Therefore, in 1967, the Design Bureau "Baltsudoproekt" urgently issued a TTZ for the design of a sea tanker pr.1559V, created on the basis of the MMF pr.1559 tanker. The main constructor
rum was S.N. Shumilov, and the main observer from the Navy, Captain 2nd Rank Yu.D. Makshanchikov. The limited time frame for the creation of this ship led to the need to retreat from many
important requirements of the Navy for ships of this purpose. So, I had to agree with the composition
the main power plant - single-shaft and low-power (one diesel engine with a capacity of 9,600 hp), providing a full speed of 16 knots.
On the tanker, a device was installed for transferring goods to the sea on the move in a traverse way,
allowing to carry out cargo operations with significant sea waves. As defensive weapons, two 57-mm gun mounts with the Bars control radar and 30-mm AK-630 assault rifles with the Vympel control radar were installed.
Due to the wide range of cargoes transferred, this tanker was a complex supply tanker.
The lead tanker project 1559V "Boris Chilikin" was built at the Baltic Shipyard in 1971. A total of 6 such tankers were built. During operation, their defensive armament was removed, and they themselves were even repainted in the color of MMF ships with a merchant flag. This made it easier for them to enter foreign ports.
The large sea tanker "Ivan Bubnov" was built at the Baltic Shipyard in Leningrad and launched on April 20, 1974. The ship became part of the Navy, and the flag was raised on it on July 19, 1975. Panov Konstantin Nikolaevich was appointed the first captain of the BMT.
After sea trials in the Gulf of Finland, on October 1, 1975, the tanker entered the first combat service in the Mediterranean Sea. Here the crew worked out ways to refuel ships and vessels, replenishing with supplies in the port of Tartus. At first, refueling was carried out at the side or on the backboard, and on November 7, 1975, three ships were simultaneously refueled on the go using traverse and wake methods (Leningrad anti-ship missile system, Nikolaev BOD and EM "Resourceful"). On December 2, 1975, he performed the tasks of military service in Atlantic Ocean and provided naval ships in the Conakry area. The tanker returned to the Mediterranean Sea after three months of work in the Atlantic, and on March 17, 1976, the tanker arrived at the main base of the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol. During its operation, "Ivan Bubnov" made 25 exits to combat service and always received excellent marks. The vessel traveled more than 300 thousand miles, made more than 2,000 refueling of ships, transported and delivered more than 800 thousand tons of various cargoes. "Ivan Bubnov" visited foreign ports more than 40 times, some of them repeatedly.
From June 26 to July 27, 1983, the tanker took part in a major naval exercise of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and the Navy of the NRB with access to the Mediterranean Sea to provide ships and vessels in the operating zone of the Mediterranean squadron. During this time, it covered 12,690 miles, provided 91 ships and vessels, of which 60 units are on the move, 26,440 tons of various cargoes have been delivered to them.
From February 12 to June 7, 1984, the tanker, during combat service in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, participated in a friendly visit of a detachment of Soviet ships to the Republic of Cuba and joint exercises with ships of the Cuban Navy. Traveled 24320 miles.
For 10 years from 1975 to 1985, the BMT "Ivan Bubnov" was on a long voyage 13 times in various parts of the World Ocean. During this time, the tanker traveled more than 180,000 miles, made more than 1,300 refuelings of the Navy ships, and visited foreign ports more than 30 times.
During the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict, the crew of the tanker took an active part both in providing ships and vessels with fuel, and in the evacuation of refugees to the ports of the Russian Federation.
From October 13 to November 11, 2002, after a long stay, the tanker carried out the tasks of ensuring the march to the Mediterranean Sea of a detachment of warships as part of the Moskva RC, the Inquisitive RC and the Yamal BDK. In the period April-July 2003, the tanker, as part of a detachment of ships under the command of the Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Orlov E.V., made a trip to Indian Ocean. During the service, the tanker repeatedly took part in operational and command and staff exercises, providing the ships with all the necessary supplies.
In the period from 09/19/2008 to 01/23/2009, the tanker carried out the tasks of providing fuel, water and food for the campaign of a detachment of warships in the Mediterranean, Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Produced 23 refueling of ships of the Black Sea and Northern fleets, 11 of them - on the move. Made business calls with Latakia (Syria), La Gueira (Venezuela), Havana (Cuba).
From 11/04/2016 to 06/07/2017, the tanker performed combat service in the Mediterranean Sea, during this time it covered 6911 miles. The crew successfully completed all the assigned tasks, refueling ships and vessels with fuel, water, and food. For 186 days of the campaign, the crew of the tanker made 179 refuelings. In total, the tanker delivered more than 12,000 tons of fuel, more than 60 tons of oil, 300 tons of boiler water, about 100 tons of fresh water.

Large offshore tanker (BMT) "Ivan Bubnov"- most big tanker The Black Sea Fleet six months later (!) returned to his native Sevastopol from the Mediterranean Sea. His crew successfully completed a 189-day long trip. BMT has traveled over 24,000 miles and made dozens of refuelings for ships and vessels of all four fleets! If we talk about the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, then this is the Guards missile cruiser(GRKR) "Moscow", patrol ships Sharp-witted, Ladny, Inquisitive, SB-36 and SB Shakhtar. BMT "Ivan Bubnov" ensured the stay of a large detachment of ships in the Mediterranean Sea, refueling them with fuel, water, and food. His crew fully completed the assigned tasks.
At the native berth, the tanker was met on Sunday, December 6, by a group captain Igor Babich, wives and children of sailors. Captain 2nd rank reserve Igor Babich warmly congratulated the crew and handed bread and salt to the captain. Moreover, this very long and intense campaign was the captain of the BMT, the captain of the 2nd rank of the reserve Alexander Pletnev, the first as the captain of the largest tanker of the Black Sea Fleet.
Captain BMT captain 2nd rank reserve Alexander Pletnev had previously been a senior assistant on the ship, so he knows the crew and equipment well. The tanker spent many days on the move. Moreover, almost half of this time in stormy conditions. Especially in autumn. The storm was sometimes up to six points. Nevertheless, the crew completed the tasks for their intended purpose in full.
BMT "Ivan Bubnov" had calls to Alexandria (Egypt), Limassol (Cyprus), Tartus (Syria). Speaking about those who distinguished themselves, Alexander Pletnev noted first of all the senior mechanic of the tanker Vladimir Katyanov, the 3rd mechanic Andrey Sushko, the donkermans (pump drivers providing fuel to the ships) Konstantin Ivanov, Valery Shilov.
Funny Fleet November 5th, 2016
Shipping expert Mikhail Voitenko, who is the editor-in-chief of the Maritime Bulletin resource, commented on a photograph showing the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft-carrying cruiser next to another ship. The day before, it was suggested that the ship was taken in tow after refueling was denied by Spain and Malta, but the Russian Defense Ministry hastened to refute the rumors, saying that the photo shows the moment the cruiser was refueled from a tanker.
Voitenko, for his part, admitted that the information from the Ministry of Defense was true, but did not rule out the following options: either the Admiral Kuznetsov was indeed towed simultaneously with refueling, probably due to a breakdown, or we are dealing with a disguise of towing for refueling with to cover up the damage.
“In the photo, indeed, Kuznetsov is refueling, but not from the tanker Sergey Osipov, but most likely from the tanker Ivan Bubnov or something like Ivan Bubnov,” he said in an email sent. The tanker obviously, if not towing an aircraft carrier, then keeps it against the wind and waves."
Explaining that the fuel supply is usually carried out during the independent movement of the refueling vessel, he emphasized that in this case the situation is different: the Admiral Kuznetsov does not move independently.
"The explanations can be different, from somewhere some kind of breakdown that made it impossible to refuel on the move in the usual way, to the need to keep the aircraft carrier against the wind and waves for some time, and at the same time refuel," he said, summarizing that "the aircraft carrier could really get lost."
In order to clarify his position, he illustrated different ways of refueling. According to him, replenishing the fuel tanks of a moving ship is as follows:
"But there is also the option of refueling from the stern, although, judging by the available photos, this happens in reverse order- the tanker is approaching the stern of the aircraft carrier, mooring lines and hose / hoses are supplied from the tank," the expert pointed out, citing the image:
Comparing these images with a photograph with the participation of "Admiral Kuznetsov", he comes to the conclusion that in this case "the aircraft carrier is clearly not on the move." At the same time, the tanker from which it refuels probably has a move - "either the smallest one to keep the aircraft carrier against the wind / waves, or slowly tow it, refueling along the way."
Meanwhile, he admitted that in this case, the Russian military decided to disguise the cruiser's towing for refueling, not wanting to make public the fact of the breakdown of the aircraft carrier. “I won’t be surprised, however, if the aircraft carrier really broke down, and towing is disguised as refueling. It will become of ours. They really don’t want to disgrace themselves,” the analyst added.
At the same time, Newsader asked him about the suspicious behavior of two other ships from the flotilla marching from the Russian Federation to Syria - the Sergey Osipov tanker and the Nikolai Chiker tugboat. According to the site marinetraffic.com, which automatically tracks the position of ships and vessels, on Thursday the signal of the tanker was recorded near Spain, and the location of the tug was determined near the Greek island of Crete.
“The tanker’s AIS signal hasn’t been there for 6 days, most likely it’s turned off, and it’s unknown where it is now,” the expert said. does Chiker and why he behaves so strangely, I do not understand at all.
Assessing the overall situation around the movement of a group of ships, Voitenko urged not to exaggerate the significance of this operation of the Russian Navy, the meaning of which, in his opinion, is not completely clear to its organizers themselves and comes down more to a propaganda goal.
“They brought everything they could to Syria, and I’m sure the Kremlin doesn’t really know why. It’s supposed to be like that, it’s like we need to show the world that we can also, that we have gunpowder and an armored train. All this is cheap,” he expressed his opinion.
Earlier, the BBC Russian service reported that, given the problems with the plum installation, the aircraft carrier may need to make an emergency stop on the route.
“Many experts point out that the dark smoke that came from the Kuznetsov’s chimney may indicate that its machines are not in the best condition. They note that the aircraft carrier is not able to develop a full speed of 29 knots, and also, perhaps, fuel consumption is increased," the British newspaper wrote, whose observer explained that on the way from Murmansk to the Mediterranean, the aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov would need to refuel at least twice.
Meanwhile, journalist Sergei Parkhomenko on the website of "Echo of Moscow" in his weekly program "The Essence of Events" reported on the extremely low combat capabilities of this flotilla, which includes "Kuznetsov". With reference to experts, he pointed out that “in the conditions of modern combat, in the conditions of modern means of destroying such kind of watercraft, the life time of this flotilla led by Admiral Kuznetsov is 50 minutes from the moment the attack begins. This thing is absolutely not intended to protect against modern means of destroying such objects.
Recall that Russia was forced to notify the Spanish authorities about the withdrawal of the request to call at the port of the autonomous city of Ceuta of the ship group of the Northern Fleet, led by the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. This decision followed the intention of Madrid to revise the permission to refuel Russian ships in the port of Ceuta, which was criticized by the Spanish partners in NATO. "Given the information that has appeared about the possibility that these ships will take part in supporting military operations in the Syrian Aleppo, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested clarification from the embassy Russian Federation in Madrid," the Spanish government said in a statement to the BBC.
“NATO policy for many years has been and continues to be that each country has the right to make its own decision on the supply of foreign ships. But I express concern that the Russian group could be used to increase strikes on Aleppo, and I I am sending this signal to all countries of the alliance," he said. General Secretary NATO Jens Stoltenberg, commenting on the possible refueling of Russian ships in Spain.
Later, Moscow in the refueling of a cruiser, which is not officially part of NATO, but is a member of the European Union. The argument of the Maltese authorities was similar to the situation with Spain: they regarded the campaign of Russian ships as an act of aggression against the civilian population of Syria and, on this basis, refused to support the aggressor's grouping.
The strike group of the Russian Federation with the Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" should replenish the Russian flotilla of ten warships already deployed off the coast of Syria. Previously, NATO expressed concern that the ships could be used to strike civilians.
The large sea tanker "Ivan Bubnov" is the fourth in a series of six ships of project 1559B code "Sea space", which was built in the 1970s for Navy USSR at the Baltic Shipyard in Leningrad.
tankers this project equipped with a device for transferring cargo to the sea on the move in a traverse way, which makes it possible to carry out cargo operations with significant sea waves. A wide range of transported goods (fuel oil - 8250 tons, diesel fuel - 2050 tons, jet fuel - 1000 tons, drinking water - 1000 tons, boiler water 450 tons, lubricating oil (4 grades) - 250 tons, dry cargo and food 220 tons each) allows classifying these tankers as integrated supply ships.
Tankers are equipped with the following transmission devices: two 3-ton booms, three 3.2-ton cranes, one 1-ton UPPG-1, three 125-ton LEGS2, two 100-ton LEGS6.
Initially, two 57-mm AK-725 artillery mounts with a Bars control radar and 30-mm AK-630 assault rifles with a Vympel control radar were installed on tankers as defensive weapons. During operation, defensive armament was removed from the ships. To make it easier for tankers to enter foreign ports, they were repainted in the color of MMF ships with a merchant flag.
