    Long overdue for the Russians I might add.

    Just wonder why not 3x12 Shtil-1 launchers...Not mucho of AAD cover for BSF ships then - Buyans/22800 have only short ragne. Old ones with osa? ekhm...only 1 cruiser with S-300 but that´s it.


    6x36 Buks mgiht help to protect smaller units tho.

    I think it shouldn't be a multipurpose frigate's job. OHP's used to offer zone defence via their SM-1MR in the US Navy (> 70 km). But the missile/system by 2016 standards is useless (Turkey still uses it iirc). Most such frigates in NATO (around the 3,000 t mark) use Sea Sparrow/ESSM point defense (up to 50 km), and that's where it ends. I guess the Russian BSF will need at least a pair of Adm Gorshkov class destroyers to cover extended zone and theatre defence tasks. Shtil-1 should be good up to 50 km, which is not bad at all. And I will venture to assume the Buk's warhead is heavier than the Sea Sparrow.

    But type 22350 is a frigate Smile and 32 cells for 32x9M96 is good but still is this adequate to protect many smaller ships from mass ASchMs attack?

    My wishlist/upgrade include
    1) - New integrated mast (as displayed by the Phazatron NIIR, posted below)
    2) - 6m hull extension (130m overall length, up from 124m) from aft of exhaust stack to facilitate
    - atleast 36 cell VLS for AD missile
    - shift boats and launch apparatus along this flank to free amidship area for missiles
    3) 16-32 x Kh-35U amidship aft of the bridge structure (navy needs low cost but capable missiles)
    That would be overdoing it I think.
    I'd rather see just lots of the lower grade Grigorovich & focus development effort on Lider &/or a stretched Gorshkov Mk2

    Malta? This has to be from 2013, Russians are now considered fire-breathing aliens with acid blood, something like a port visit at a EU/NATO state (outside of Greece) is completely out of the question since 2014.
    Definitely only a few days ago.
    There was even a recent article where US side of NATO has been complaining that Spain has been allowing Russian ships to refuel at Ceuta. Malta is EU but not NATO.

    Every change affects performance abit, but if its done "from the scratch" those shotcomings can be adressed and countered by other solutions. Its even performed on already existing hulls btw:

    Its a neat trick but even if they wanted to, I don't think Russian shipbuilding is up to it.
    Not aware of such a thing ever being done on an existing naval ship also.
    Certainly lengthened new batches though.

    There was a video on Balancers forum (which seems to be gone now), looks like they backed up too much to low dock, but they had guys there with buffers so shouldn't be too bad.

    Time has not yet arrived to discard the old ones. Force levels are simply inadequate. Unless there is something like 12 x 11356 class at the disposal of BSF, even thinking of discarding the usable two ships of 1135/M will be foolish.

    I would also like to see the 22350 with the BSF, but not coz of the AD missiles, but because, of its larger (and more capable) hull mounted sonar arrays.

    In my view 22350 is a product of combining the two specific capability of 11356 (anti-ship) and 11541 (anti-sub) and overall a highly optimized multirole frigates, which is equally good in both roles.

    Btw, I was not specifically mentioning about lengthening the current 11356 already in water (which can happen if needed at the appropriate time), but about new units thats going to be built. More over all the 11356 are assembled with smaller sections anyway. Hardly a technical challenge for a premier shipyard as Yantar given the "new" design has been vetted by the OKB.

    Regarding hull extension, Yantar had done such work on commercial ship/tanker. Unlike the video posted by Militarov earlier, the one undertaken by Yantar (as can be seen in the pic) is not a completely built module (time savings), but they are doing work from the keel up after cutting the hull in two.
    Project 11356: Admiral Grigorovich - Page 15 310

    I don't remember the details and I cant find the info on their current website, it was mentioned in their old website with the above pic.

    I do wish they scratch it coz 11356 design has upgrade potential. The modified design (if at all they do go ahead) will be in consultation with the designers themselves. A modified/upgraded 11356 is not something which is not doable. Not exploring the possibility to enhance the capability of 11356 will be foolish.

    After all what are we looking at with this kind of upgrade -

    1) A new integrated mast or atleast a mast which can accommodate/integrate multi faceted radar arrays and other systems.

    The below pic shows Indian Navy's two 11356 under construction, one with its mast installed and another one without it. A new mast integration would most probably be like plug-n-play, the main stuff to be looked into is if the present electrical systems have the capacity to cater to the (increased) loads from the new radar and electrical systems.
    Project 11356: Admiral Grigorovich - Page 15 Ins_te10

    2) Inserting a new hull section aft of the exhaust stack (adjacent/in front of the hanger)

    For a 124m long ship, 6m hull section is a far less complicated stuff than proofing an equally long hull section for a sub-70 meter submarine. I'm talking about the design of AIP module and VLS module for submarines. Below is a hull section of 11356 and If my estimate based on the beam of approx 15m is correct, we are looking at a hull section thats around 6m in length. Its not a full size section though.
    Project 11356: Admiral Grigorovich - Page 15 1c93d310

    With a new/integrated mast, the area behind the bridge structure can be cleared with the boats and lauch arms being shifted to the new hull section and alongside the new VLS area.
    Project 11356: Admiral Grigorovich - Page 15 Teg0710

    ^^ This is the place where additional Uran canisters (those 8-cell version we see with BAL coastal units) will be installed which can number 16-32 depending on space. Now all targets don't need Yakhont/Klub/Kaliber treatment and can be accomplished with 260Km range Urans, like striking those international terrorists inside Syria.  

    Hull extension? Can you even do that without affecting performance?

    If yes, then I got some sweet ideas for 22800 Karakurt.
    Why should we be so much worried about performance. I don't think its going to make much difference.
    Btw, we also need to take note that for any future ships we are looking at new and powerful gas turbines like M75RU (6000-7000 hp), M70FRU (12000-14000 hp) and the 27,500hp M90FR.

    A new version of 11356 can either retain COGAG (premium propulsion system) or go with more economical CODAG (termed as poor mans propulsion) like that of 22350.

    Then there is shafting (very important part and specialized) which will also see lengthened... haven't heard about any vibrations issues caused due to improper alignment of the shaft from the Russian side, so no worries. Yantar makes shafts inhouse.
    Project 11356: Admiral Grigorovich - Page 15 _dsc0210
    Project 11356: Admiral Grigorovich - Page 15 Imgp1310

    Btw, I'm interested in hearing your ideas on 22800.

    Simferopol, June 10 -. RIA Novosti Russia's Black Sea fleet replenished with another five frigates of Project 11356, according to Presidential Envoy in Crimean Federal District Oleg Belavenets.

    The first frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" Project 11356 arrived on Thursday to the place of permanent basing in Sevastopol.
    "Yesterday in Sevastopol came the lead ship of the series 11356" Admiral Grigorovich "This ultra-modern frigate of this class ships did not go to the Crimea for about 35 years, Navy is strengthened in the near future will approach another of the frigate of the same class -.." Admiral Essen " - said Belavenets at a ceremony on the occasion of the forthcoming Day of Russia.
    In addition, according to the envoy, in a few years it is expected to arrive even more frigates.
    "Six ships of this class will be in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean", - summed up Belavenets.


    Sounds like they plan to build all 6 frigates as originally planned. Must be developing a replacement engine.

    Don't know where it came from but that idea of the multi pagoda type structure is very very stupid... it reduces internal volume while greatly increasing the number of corners which is bad from a stealth perspective... and it looks stupid.

    Not really, it's even better than your average EU/NATO navy frigate. RBU-6000 and Kalibr capabilities are destroyer-level little perks. Russia better build these frigates in greater numbers, maybe expand their shipbuilding in Crimea.

    i think project 11356 frigates where selected only for BLS fleet because they wanted to replace old 40-year age ships quickly. And this class was already in production for Indian Navy.
    For other fleets they will produce the more multi-role and heavy project 22350.

    Kind of amazing they let a whole heap of people on with cameras & apparently pretty much free reign of the ship.
    Bridge looks a bit disappointingly small & basic? Presumably a CIC with the nice bits elsewhere?

    Also from same channel this is the docking vid I couldn't find before

    Oh nice, I saw pics but failed to register its the 3rd ship.
    That should mean it can be in BSF by the end of the year?

    Essen was degaussed in Dec & hasn't quite arrived yet so I guess unless they speed things up a bit its more likely to be in service but not at BSF till 1/4 '17.
