Project 133 , with the code name Antares ( Russian Антарес ), designated by NATO as the Muravey class , was a class of hydrofoil craft that was constructed in the Soviet Union during the Cold War as submarines for border security groups.
development
Project 133 was developed under the direction of BF Orlow in the mid-1970s for the border troops of the USSR as a hydrofoil with artillery and torpedo armament.
technology
Hull and drive
Two M-70 gas turbines are mounted in the fuselage as a drive system . They were able to accelerate the ships to 61 knots while on plane.
Armament
Primary armament was a 75-mm-L / 60-turret AK-176m , which on the back is mounted. A 30 mm L / 54 automatic cannon AK-630M was placed on the rear part of the superstructure for defense at close range .
To combat submarines, two 40.6 cm caliber torpedo tubes were mounted on the stern , one each on port and starboard. They could launch SET-40 torpedoes. In addition, two settler were for water bombs available.
electronics
To search for air and surface contacts, a type MR-220 “Reyd” (NATO: “Peel Cone”) radar was planned for project 133 , which was mounted on the mast.
A “Ros-K” diving sonar was installed at the stern to search for submarines .
The fire control of the tubular weapons was supported by the MR-123 radar "Wympel" (NATO: "Bass Tilt"), the sensor of which was mounted on the observation deck .
Boats of the project 133
Eleven Project 133 boats were built. They were initially used in the Soviet Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet . After the collapse of the Soviet Union, three boats were handed over to Ukraine . Another boat, still unfinished, fell to the Ukraine at the Feodosiya shipyard. All of the Project 133 boats have since been decommissioned; the last Russian boats were removed from the fleet lists in 2009, the Ukrainian ones by 2008.
