The new mine defense ship "Lev Chernavin" is undergoing final state tests before being sent to the Baltic Fleet.
"Lev Chernavin" was built according to Project 12700 "Alexandrite", that is, its hull consists of monolithic fiberglass formed by vacuum infusion. It is not afraid of corrosion, and if the operating standards are observed, it has an unlimited service life. In addition, this hull makes the minesweeper practically invisible to the radars of a potential enemy.
Thanks to the sonar system, the ship can detect all types of sea mines both in the water and in the ground, even if they are buried in the ground at a depth of up to three hundred meters. It not only clears sea minefields, but also creates them itself.
After the end of state tests, "Lev Chernavin" will go to Baltiysk.
