GUGI Link to November 2014 DW/DDW Testing in Black Sea

GUGI Letter of Appreciation to Aleksandr Georgiyevich Zubchenko

The recent posting of a certificate of appreciation from head of the Russian MOD's Directorate of Deep-Water Research (GUGI), Vice Admiral Burilichev, has led to further proof that the November 2014 testing of DeepWorker (DW)/Dual DeepWorker (DDW) submersibles in the Black Sea was linked to GUGI [I suggested a possible link to GUGI in this blog entry]. The certificate was awarded to Aleksansdr Georgiyevich Zubchenko on February 5, 2015, for "dynamic participation and initiative demonstrated during preparations for and performance of interagency testing under the Funikuler-MKPTR program" [MKPTR expands to "mobile complex for performing undersea technical work"].   

Aleksandr Zubchenko
A simple web search indicates Aleksandr Georgiyevich Zubchenko is a prominent figure in undersea systems research. He originally served in the Russian Navy, reaching the rank of Captain 2nd Rank before leaving naval service. He has held several jobs since, most recently working as Deputy Chief of the Submersible Department at DayvTekhnoServis in St. Petersburg. Zubchenko was involved in acceptance testing of a Triton XLX ROV in 2012 and interagency testing of a mobile stand-alone hyperbaric chamber in the same year. Zubchenko is also co-author of at least a half-dozen patents related to undersea search and rescue systems, primarily ROV/UUV systems, between 2001 and 2011.

DayvTekhnoServis
DayvTekhnoServis is located at #18 Zheleznovodskaya Street in St. Petersburg, next to the "House of Thieves" (#22) depicted in Eduard Kochergin's 2003 book Angelova Kukla. The company was established in February 2000 when Akvateks (est. 1991) split its company into two components: Akvateks, which continues to support the diving sports industry, and DayvTekhnoServis, which supports professional diving, emergency rescue, and undersea technical operations. Today, the company has more than 90 employees, including 8 divers with advanced diving education (one of which [Anatoliy Gennadyevich Khramov] was awarded the title "Hero of Russia"). In 2012, the company had on its rosters five former submariners, including Zubchenko.

Funikuler-MKPTR
The Funikuler-MKPTR system figures prominently in at least one court case so far. On March 22, 2010, Yantar Baltic Shipyard signed a state contract (748/31/220YuGTS-2010) for the construction of Yantar-class research vessel "Yantar" for GUGI. Yantar later signed a sub-contract (DTS/135-01) with DayvTekhnoServis on January 17, 2012. The title of the sub-contract was: "Component of Funikuler-MKPTR Experimental Design Work: Creation of a Mobile Complex for Performing Undersea Technical Work (MKPTR) Based on the Deep-Water Working Submersible (RGA) 'DUAL DEEP WORKER', Operating at a Depth of Up to 1,000 Meters". The DTS/135-01 sub-contract called for two of the mobile complexes to be produced and tested.

In February 2014, Yantar filed a suit against DayvTekhnoServis with the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast seeking RUB 9,011,437 for non-completion of several stages of the DST/135-01 sub-contract. In its August 18 decision (A56-9548/2014), the court only approved partial payment (RUB 5,000,000). Unhappy with the lower court's decision, Yantar appealed to the 13th Arbitration Appellate Court. Unfortunately for Yantar, the 13th Arbitration Appellate Court, in its December 15 decision (13AP-24337/2014), reversed the lower court's decision and found in favor of DayvTekhnoServis. This month, Yantar Shipyard filed an appeal with the Arbitration Court of the Northwestern District. No date has been given for commencement of the hearings (F07-835/2015).

Air Defense Exercise Over Black Sea

Area closures (red) and flight bans (yellow) west of Crimean Peninsula - February 2015

According to an unnamed "Crimean Naval Base source," Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet ships (including four Grisha-class frigates and Nanuchka III-class missile patrol boats) and aircraft (including naval SU-30SM Flanker fighters) are taking part in an air defense exercise that started today. According to the source, during the first phase of the exercise, the SU-30SM played the role of simulated hostile aircraft. The surface ships tracked the targets and then simulated launching surface-to-air missiles. During the second phase, the SU-30SM were to perform long-range airborne radar tracking and visual identification of cruise missiles launched by an adversary. The SU-30SM were to engage and attempt to shoot down the missiles. If they failed, the surface ships were to launch surface-to-air missiles against the "enemy" cruise missiles.

There are several area closures and flight bans west of the Crimean Peninsula that are in effect between now and the end of the month. One of the flight bans (V0762/15) covers a portion of farming land adjacent to the fleet's airbase at Kacha.

SECTIONS OF NEW TANKERS LAID DOWN IN CRIMEA FOUND TO BE SCRAP METAL
February 16, 2015
http://flotprom.ru/2015/185646/

Construction of sections of two tankers for the Russian Navy, earlier laid down at Zaliv Shipyard in Crimea, has halted.

According to Central Naval Portal (CNP) sources, work on construction of the tankers stopped immediately after the ceremonial keel-laying, which took place in late December 2014.

CNP confirmed this through employees of the company. "Now these sections are sitting at the side of the shipyard, in a so-called reserve area. No one is doing or plans to do anything with them," - a Zaliv employee told CNP.

Another specialist of the company provided similar information. "The tankers, which were 'laid down', have been cut up for metal," he noted, adding that the sections used for the keel-laying were made of scrap metal.

"Some old hulls were turned over for the keel-laying," a factory worker responded when asked about the ships that were laid down. Similar information was provided to CNP by two more Zaliv shipyard employees.

CNP asked the shipyard's press office for comment on the situation. However, it would not confirm the information about any halt in the construction of the tankers. "Work continues. The delivery time frame for the tankers is 2017-2018," shipyard press secretary Marina Romanika explained.

Republic of Crimea Prime Minister Sergey Aksenov attended the keel-laying ceremony for the Russian Navy tankers. At that time, he announced that the two new tankers were just the beginning. "Crimean officials guarantee their full support to the shipbuilders. We guarantee there will be no bureaucratic red-tape or unscheduled inspections, and we will support the company 100 percent," Aksenov said during the December 2014 keel-laying of the vessels.

In late January, CNP reported that Zaliv Shipyard had not laid down the four military ships that Republic of Crimea Prime Minister Sergey Aksenov had promised would be laid down at the shipyard.

The Project 23131 tanker was designed by SpetsSudoProyekt (St. Petersburg). The vessel is designed to carry special liquids: diesel fuel, oil, aviation kerosene, and others. The tanker has a length of 145 meters, beam of 24 meters, and dead weight of 12,000 tons.

Court is Now in Session: Lazurit, Admiralty Shipyards, and "Igor Belousov" Sub Rescue Ship

On October 24, 2005, the RF Ministry of Defense signed a contract (702/05/28/KN/0028 - "Creation of New-Generation Rescue Ship") with Admiralty Shipyards for the construction of Belousov submarine rescue ship "Igor Belousov". To support that effort, on May 18, 2006, Admiralty Shipyards signed a contract (#2618-06 - "Development of Working Design Documentation for Deep-Water Diver System for Project 21300 Rescue Ship (Delfin-GVK) and Production and Testing of Prototype Component Equipment") with Lazurit Central Design Bureau.

On November 9, 2011, the RF Ministry of Defense and Admiralty Shipyards signed an agreement (N/1/5/0609/D21-11-DGOZ) by which the previous state contract (702/05/28/KN/0028) was cancelled. On December 6, 2011, Admiralty Shipyards informed Lazurit that their contract (#2618-06) had been cancelled as a result.

On January 31, 2012, the RF Ministry of Defense issued a decision (#235/1/5/744) under which Admiralty Shipyards and the 208th MOD Representation Office were to determine the actual costs incurred by Lazurit under the cancelled contract (#2618-06). In its letter (#26-PDO-1092) to Admiralty Shipyards on April 6, 2012, Lazurit provided documentation of completed work under the contract totalling RUB 836,903,813, to include work completed by Italian sub-contractor DRASS Galeazzi.

After reviewing the documents, Admiralty Shipyards established that it had already paid Lazurit an advance of RUB 660,542,424, but that Lazurit had only spent RUB 472,988,767 at the time the contract had been cancelled [difference = RUB 187,553,657]. Admiralty Shipyards also determined it would not pay for the stages of the contract that were not completed, as the equipment had not been delivered and as some of the work stages (3.1, 3.2, 5, and 6.1) and related expenses linked to the contract had not been approved by Admiralty Shipyards.

In 2012, Lazurit filed a suit (Case #A56-24829/2012) against Admiralty Shipyards for payment of work [expenses (RUB 836,903,813) - advance (RUB 660,542,424) = RUB 176,361,389] completed under the contract. In its July 2013 ruling, the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast ruled in favor of Lazurit, and Admiralty Shipyards was ordered to pay. Following several appeals that ended with a September 2013 decision in favor of Lazurit, Admiralty Shipyards finally paid Lazurit on December 25, 2013.

Citing unfair business practices, on April 28, 2014, Lazurit filed a new suit (Case #A56-26894/2014) with with Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast against Admiralty Shipyards. In its suit, Lazurit sought to receive (a) RUB 29,763,836 in penalties for late payment of expenses incurred by Lazurit between April 2012 and December 2013, (b) RUB 11,147,911 in lost revenue due to currency exchange rate variations, and (c) RUB 72,635,154 in lost profits [total = RUB 113,546,901]. By the trial date, however, those numbers had been corrected to (a) RUB 29,521,064 in penalties for late payment of expenses incurred by Lazurit between April 2012 and December 2013, (b) RUB 11,147,911 in lost revenue due to currency exchange rate variations, (c) RUB 58,941,791 in lost profits for work under Supplementary Agreement #13, and (d) in lost profits for work under Supplementary Agreement #14 [total = RUB 113,304,129].

Admiralty Shipyards argued that:

• according to previous court decisions (A43-3989/2012 and A56-24829/2012), the RF Ministry of Defense's cancellation of the original contract (702/05/28/KN/0028) naturally led to the cancellation of the sub-contract (#2618-06) with Lazurit.

• the RUB 176,361,389 earlier paid to Lazurit was based on Lazurit's own calculations, which included RUB 71,445,984 in profits for Lazurit.

• Supplementary Agreement #14 was not legal, as it was not signed by Admiralty Shipyards or the 175th or 208th MOD Representation Offices.

• Lazurit did not prove the necessary conditions to seek lost revenue due to currency exchange rate variations because the contract between Admiralty Shipyards and Lazurit (#2618-06) stated rubles as the contract's currency, and because Admiralty Shipyards was not a party to the contract (РН1/2009, dated December 22, 2009) signed between Lazurit and DRASS Galeazzi.

• it should not have had to pay the RUB 176,361,389 required by the court's previous ruling (A56-24829/2012), as Lazurit never provided proof that the RF Ministry fo Defense had paid Admiralty Shipyards that amount of money for work performed by Lazurit.

In reviewing the materials provided by both parties, the court:

• found that Admiralty Shipyards took 20 months to pay Lazurit for expenses incurred under the contract. In accordance with Higher Arbitration Court Letter #51 (January 24, 2000), payment by a general contractor for work by a sub-contractor must be paid regardless of whether the customer has paid the general contractor. Thus, Admiralty Shipyards [general contractor] should have paid Lazurit [sub-contractor] within one week of Lazurit's April 2012 submission of calculated expenses under the contract.

• lowered Admiralty Shipyard's penalties to RUB 24,600,887 after determining Lazurit had miscalculated them.

• denied Lazurit's claims for lost revenue due to currency exchange rate variations and lost profits for work under Supplementary Agreements #13 and #14.

On December 1, 2014, the court ordered Admiralty Shipyards to pay Lazurit RUB 24,600,887 in penalties and RUB 43,425 in state taxes.

On January 30, 2015, Admiralty Shipyards filed an appeal with the 13th Arbitration Appeals Court, which will begin hearing the case on March 2.

XLT: In a 'Circle of Foes', Russia Needs to Reinforce Military Capabilities

                                               [translation of Interfax-AVN news article]

SITUATION AROUND RUSSIA CHANGING; WWII LESSONS MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN - GENERAL GAREYEV
February 6, 2015
http://militarynews.ru/story.asp?rid=1&nid=365739

The main lesson of World War II for Russia was that you must stay sharp and address defense issues systematically, president of the Academy of Military Sciences Makhmut Gareyev told Interfax-AVN.

"The main lesson, in my view, is that the government must address reinforcing our defense consistently and not zig-zag from side to side as happened in 2008-2011. Back then, without any specific scientific basis, we eliminated entire branches of the Armed Forces and military districts, we deactivated tank and joint service commands, and we 'optimized' dozens of military academies, military schools and institutes," Gareyev said.

He noted that today "the military-political situation around Russia is changing dramatically and at nearly lightning speed."

"They are trying to surround us with NATO and U.S. bases and with American BMD. The conflict in southeastern Ukraine could soon degenerate into a large-scale war. Under these difficult conditions, we need not only to focus our military and scientific capacity on fulfilling the 2020 State Armaments Program and stepping up control and personal responsibility for on-time deliveries of new hardware and weapons to the military forces, but also on using modern forms and methods of planning to organize the country's defense," the general observed.

"Incidentally, as far back as five years ago I spoke several times from various podiums about the geopolitical pressure on Russia, primarily from the U.S. Unfortunately, my forewarnings were not heeded even by other veteran military leaders," the expert added.

According to him, "challenges and threats to Russia today are made not only through military means, but also through political, information, and economic means, as well as various sanctions, which each of us has already felt."

"Under these conditions, I feel that it is appropriate that we develop a state plan for strategic deterrence of the most dangerous threats," the general said.

In his opinion, today the status of the defense minister needs to be raised in view of the increased significance of coordination of military and non-military defensive resources at the state level.

"Specifically, to endow the Russian Minister of Defense with powers of a Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief not only in wartime, but in peacetime, as well. And to increase the role of the Armed Forces General Staff for more effective coordination in resolving military issues with the country's power structures," the general said.

"An extremely dangerous situation has now developed around Russia. We cannot even dismiss the possibility, under specific conditions, of an outbreak of large-scale military actions. Therefore, we also need to clearly decide on a mobilization aspect, which until recently was the weakest item in our defense system. From the view of ensuring Russia's security, we have never been (perhaps only in the pre-war years) in such a difficult position, in a circle of foes. In order to not find ourselves in the position that occurred in 1941, we have to continuously conduct realistic threat assessments and be concerned about reinforcing our military capabilities and the capabilities of the state," the general said.

Salyut Beats MOD in “Vitse-Admiral Kulakov” Case

On April 12, 2002, the Russian MOD (Naval Directorate of the Chief of Shipbuilding, Weapons, and Weapons Maintenance) signed a contract (#713/03/28/KN/0321-02) with Salyut Scientific Production Enterprise under which Salyut was to complete experimental design work “Rybets”. On September 25, 2010, the sides signed a Supplementary Agreement (#704/28/3/REV/D018/0115-10) which further defined certain stages and sub-stages of the state contract, to include:

Stage 9 – confirmation of the working design documentation in order to set up serial production of the 5N-30N; cost of this stage: RUB 1,672,654; work commencement: November 6, 2010; work conclusion: November 25, 2010

Stage 16 – confirmation of the working design documentation in order to set up serial production of the UN-30112; cost of this stage: RUB 1,670,858; work commencement: November 6, 2010; work conclusion: November 25, 2010

Stage 17 – confirmation of the working design documentation in order to set up serial production of the 511-3011; cost of this stage: RUB 1,170,858; work commencement: November 6, 2010; work conclusion: November 25, 2010

Prototypes of the 5P-30N (Fregat-N) and 5P-30N2 (Fregat-N2) radars, as well as the 5P-30P radar data processing system, were originally scheduled to be tested on Udaloy I-class destroyer “Vitse-Admiral Kulakov” in March-April 2010; however, due to an unanticipated issue with the ship’s hull that required dock repairs, the testing was delayed until November 25, 2010. Initial testing was completed on October 15, 2010, and the prototypes were handed over to the MOD for state testing on the same date. However, according to RF Navy Commander-in-Chief Decision #721/ОНК/5538  - “Preparing Project 1155 Large ASW Ship “Vitse-Admiral Kulakov” to Join the Permanent Ready Forces and Transfer to Its Homeport” (dated September 22, 2010), the destroyer was accepted before state testing and acceptance of the 5P-30N, 5P-30N2, and 5P-30P could be completed.

Both sides signed a joint decision on January 31, 2011, that reiterated that initial testing of the prototype equipment had been completed, but due to the destroyer’s transfer from the Baltic Fleet to the Northern Fleet, state testing could not be completed earlier than 2011. According to the decision, state testing would be finished during the second quarter of 2011, and all actions related to preparing the prototypes for serial production would be completed in October 2011. Based on Northern Fleet leadership input, a decision was made by the state acceptance committee to conduct state testing of the prototype equipment by September 30, 2011.

The end date was further pushed back until December 1, 2011, due to the requirement for the destroyer to undergo a 41-day shipyard repair period between October 1 and November 10. The at-sea test date was set for November 16. After several more delays, the destroyer finally got underway for testing – but without any industry personnel on board, thus preventing the completion of state testing. Salyut complained to the Northern Fleet commander, who in turn ordered the ship back to sea on December 6 to perform the state testing. Several fleet aircraft (IL-20 Coot A, IL-38 May, and KA-27 Helix) provided support for that day’s testing. Based on the first day's results, everyone agreed the prototype equipment was ready for a live missile launch against a P-120RM target missile the next day. However, on December 7, the ship’s 3R-95/Kinzhal (SA-N-9/Gauntlet) surface-to-air missile suffered a malfunction that the crew could not fix. Since, without the SA-N-9, the ship would be unable to protect itself in the event the P-120RM target missile veered off course, a decision was made to suspend state testing and return to port. The ship returned to port on December 8, and fleet personnel began removing the ship’s weapons on December 9 in advance of placing the destroyer in a dry dock. The Northern Fleet agreed that the next time the ship would be available to perform state testing of the prototype equipment would be February 2012.

On November 27, 2013, the MOD filed a suit against Salyut for failure to full its contractual obligations by the stated deadline. In its suit, the MOD sought RUB 1,561,589 in fines for non-fulfillment of the contract.

On February 20, 2014, the Arbitration Court of Moscow issued a ruling in the case (#A40-169577/2013) in favor of Salyut, stating that Salyut could not be blamed for the MOD’s inability to provide the proper equipment (i.e., operable destroyer with operable SA-N-9) within the stated time frame.

Not satisfied with the verdict, the MOD filed an appeal with the 9th Arbitration Appellate Court on April 29, 2014. The court upheld the lower court’s decision on June 11.

On August 14, the MOD filed a final appeal with the Arbitration Court of the Moscow District, which similarly dismissed the case in line with the two previous decisions.
