Promising destroyer "Lider-class"

True, my point was, plese dont mix CM tubes with AAD ones. Even is both use USKS-Ms 100+ re for CMs.

But the UKSK-M launcher is supposed to be a fully universal launcher that might take SAMs too... we don't really know for sure.

It just means instead of x number of UKSK cruise missile tubes plus x number of SAM missile tubes, there will be x + x UKSK-M tubes that can be loaded with various load options... it also means you could place SAMs all round the ship instead of a specific area, which would be important for CIWS missiles like 9M100.

100+

The first years the ship is in service they probably wont have that many to put on that ship as they will likely have them on ground launchers and launchers on trains and trucks.

BTW are you aware about an arsenal ship concept? this is INSTEAD of CVN

An arsenal ship is instead of a CVN in the US navy... in the Russian navy the CVNs purpose is aerial protection and detection with fighters and AWACS aircraft... an arsenal ship would not be any good at that... no matter how many SAMs it carried.

GB wrote:One Arsenal ship would be a very good escort for a CVN, add a couple of SSNs and an SSGN, and perhaps a helicopter carrier, plus a couple of destroyers and a few support ships and you would have something there...

Russia to build 2 Lider-class nuclear-powered destroyers by end of 2020s — source

So they are planning to have them operational at about the time they might also have the Kuznetsov back in service and possibly a new CVN entering the water...

It depends on what you define as "development".  They likely have a preliminary design completed, but it will take years to turn that into a detailed design with adequate documentation that will permit metal to be cut.

In practice its napkin drawing at this point.

Not confusing at all... they will have built 2 of them by the end of the 2020s as they say... 2029 is the end of the 2020s BTW.

In practice its marine architectural and structural with internal equipment GA drgs and dynamics done to size the power-plant and confirm performance.  Its hardly scrawled on the back of fag packet...

Detailed design includes mechanical details, electrical and sensors, fabrication and assembly drgs among other deliverables.

The maket supposed to be lider is the work of the company. First russian navy needs to express what they want and then the company will design a new ship based on the recquirements.

So tge work will needs to be done from the start. So add 2 years for that easily.

There is no such a word as MAKET in english, not to say about RECQUIREMENTS. Obviously, children on this Forum are so uninformed about the scientific capacities of Krylow institute, that they don`t even know about test basins purposely built for hydrodynamic model testing. In such a way every perspective (not PROMISING, because nobody here gives any promises) future ship project can be thoroughly tested in model circumstances. censored

The design they proposed is just a design be it good or bad. It has little chance to be what russia wants.

Just a correction here. Krylov does not design ships. They are not a design bureau, but a scientific institution at the service of the state. So they research technologies and developmental lines, raise debate where they see it necessary and oversee the work of the actual design bureaus. It is not the same if a design bureau comes up with a model of a proposal, trying to create demand for their product, as if Krylov creates a proposal to wake up debate about an issue. Completely different motivations and consequences. The bureau could be reasonably ignored by MoD as simply wanting to promote their product, Krylov should not, since them making proposals is exactly the reason why the state finances them.

Head — Chief Designer of Baltsudoproekt
Central Design Bureau
Andrey V. Obukhov
The Baltsudoproekt Central Design Bureau, established back in 1925, is the oldest Russian design company.

In 1999 the Bureau was incorporated in the Krylov State Research Centre as a branch, in 2008 it received the KSRC division status.

Since the time of its establishment the Central Design Bureau has produced about 200 ship designs with over 2600 ships (of total displacement exceeding 11 million tons) actually built to these designs. All ships built to the designs of CDB are noted for their excellent seaworthiness and operational reliability.

Baltsudoproekt produced a wide range of ship designs (in many cases being pioneers in the Russian and occasionally in the world shipbuilding), which for many decades were and remain to be now the backbone of the Russian marine fleet.

CDB is noted for producing a wide range and types of ship designs:

general cargo ship, timber carriers, bulkers;
liquid cargo carrier (oiltankers, chemical carriers, special-purpose tankers, gas carriers);
ferries (including railway ferries);
passenger and passenger/cargo vessels;
tugboats;
rescue vessels;
icebreakers and ice-going ships;
research ships, research expedition ships and hydrographic survey vessels;
vessels & platforms for development of offshore oil & gas fields (supply boats, anchor-handling vessels, drilling rigs, FPSOs);
ships & structures for extraction & processing of mineral & biological resources of the world ocean;
warships and auxiliary naval vessels;
nuclear-powered ships & structures;
specialist vessels (crane ships, pipe- and cable-laying vessels, floating docks);
various one-off and unique ships and floating structures.
Baltsudoproekt Central Design Bureau is using state-of-the-art CAD/CAE systems, which in combination with the wealth of design expertise accrued over the years as well as robust research and experimental capabilities of the Krylov State Research Centre, enables it to cope with any challenges and remain a leader in the design of ships and marine structures.

Our capabilities
Production of ship designs for Russian and foreign shipbuilders in accordance with the rules of various classification societies;
Design of inland vessels, sea-going ships and marine structures, issue of design documentation with different levels of complexity and detail:
preliminary design;
engineering design;
classification design;
construction documentation;

https://www.russiadefence.net/t7032p50-sap-2018-2027-arms-procurement#212515

This would be hardly acceptable for the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Russian Navy.

The lobbying of the United Shipbuilding Corporation seems quite negative lately, and likely will have consequences, if they finally provoke unnecessary delay on key preojects to finish the current new generation of armament, like the Project 23560 and the winner project of aircraft carrier (likely the Project 23000).

It is likely they move forward strongly with the first unit, in order to reproduce not potential mistakes in the second before they be corrected.

I think it would be a mistake to assume because they are delaying an arsenal capital ship for half a decade means they will not build anything else... they can upgrade Kirovs and Slavas and the Kuznetsov and get some real destroyers into production and actually make some Frigates and Corvettes in decent numbers too in the mean time, which could all benefit from support ships.

It is likely they will develop a helicopter landing class ship for the Pacific and Northern fleets, which will also require support ships too.

...

Twelve ships of the 10,000t "Leader class" are planned to enter service from 2023-25, split between the Northern and Pacific Fleets. They will all be nuclear powered. They will be fitted with the ABM-capable S-500 SAM and Kalibr (SS-N-27) cruise missile.

"We hope the Leader destroyer will remain with the USC as we have operating or upgraded capacities for that," he said. He refused to say when the destroyer may be laid. "It is to be discussed with the Defense Ministry. It is not an easy issue," Rakhmanov said.

Navy Deputy Commander-in-Chief Vice Admiral Viktor Bursuk earlier said the technical design of the Leader destroyer would be ready by 2020

The Technical Design of the Project 23560, next stage after the Preliminary Design finished in 2017, will be finished by 2020:

Maybe you could expand on your reasons for saying the design is unrealistic?  No doubt you have a long career of naval architecture and ship design so that your opinions carry some weight, rather than simply being knee-jerk reactions or unthinking repetition of stuff other similar genius' have said?  

I don't actually see anything wrong with it.  It might look a little anime-inspired, but to my eye it looks fit for purpose.
