Project 12700 mine countermeasures ships (code "Alexandrite") of the Russian Navy have been equipped with unmanned underwater vehicles for searching and destroying sea mines. This was announced by the commander of the Baltic Fleet ships formation, Captain 2nd Rank Alexei Sergeev.
Project 12700 ships are equipped with modern search equipment, which has increased performance and power, and, accordingly, a better probability of detecting an underwater object.
According to him, the ships are equipped with an unmanned underwater vehicle that allows searching, classifying, and further destroying an underwater object using either hydraulic cutters or an overlay charge.
Project 12700 minesweepers developed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) belong to a new generation of mine-sweeping forces. They are designed to search for, trawl, and destroy mines in coastal areas and the near sea zone.
