Auxilliary vessels, Special-purpose and minor naval ships

I find it odd that they're not sticking Gibka on ships like this, far from the best air defense but surely better than just AK-630s.

Gibka for what ? Interceping very low flying anti ship missiles that the operator will too late or the helicopter/aircraft flying out of range ?

They need to save money for bigger ship with real air defence system that will protect such ships with them.

More PK-10 would be more useful.

It is but they need a modernised one with a compact VLS & smaller firecontrol radar so it can fit as an Osa replacement. (which would be handy on a bunch of other legacy ships)

They're supposed to be working on this one for a while

I do wonder why they don't just have a bigger block of four of these 16 tube launchers all sitting together in one bloc

Yes & split the firecontrol radar off onto a separate radar-only mount.
48 missiles & a fairly compact firecontrol mount would be pretty solid.

I suspect that its not an option for small vessels due to the radar requirments?

I believe means the Kinzhal firecontrol radar which is pretty chonky.

Some minor naval ships in Russian Navy day parade

Project 21980 "Grachonok-class" anti-saboteur ship



Project 11770 "Serna class" landing craft




Project 03160 "Raptor"




Project 1241 Tarantul class missile ship



Project 1234 Nanuchka class missile ship

Yes its quite weird that they took it out at least a couple of times post-refit with the old gun before switching it to the new model

It´s weird that it got a new gun.

Does it carry 20 Gecko SAMS? If so, why wouldn't they retrofit it with something more modern??

Yes. To keep price low. Its anti air capabilities suck. No surveillance radar, twin launcher and an old soviet system that is outdated against modern low flying missiles.


What they could have done was to put Positiv radar with 150km range that they offer for export on molniya class and tigr class and VLS for tor (32 missiles). That would make the ship able to fight even US cruiser and destroyers 1 vs 1 as they mostly carry 8 anti ship missiles and 2 helicopters.

here is a photo of the smerch with 16 Uran already installed

Akademik Aleksandrov started state tests

I had assumed they were already doing those but I guess that was just builder trials

Small marine tanker Mikhail Barskov, project 03182 launched

According to the press service of the Administration of the Primorsky Territory, on August 27, 2019 at Vostochnaya Verf JSC in Vladivostok, the launch ceremony of the head of the small sea tanker Mikhail Barskov (serial number 9001) of project 03182 (code number), which is being built at the enterprise for the Russian Navy, was held "Platform-Arctic"). This is the largest ship built in history at the Eastern Shipyard.

The ship is being built under the contract for the construction of two small marine tankers of project 03182 for the Pacific Fleet, signed by the Eastern Shipyard with the Russian Ministry of Defense on September 1, 2014. The lead ship under this contract and in the series of this project as a whole, the small marine tanker Mikhail Barskov (serial number 9001) was officially laid down at the Vostochny Shipyard on October 27, 2015, although the actual construction of the Mikhail Barskov tanker was started by the company at the beginning 2015 year. The contract deadline for the lead ship was November 2017, and its construction is being carried out with a significant delay.

The tanker was named in honor of Vice Admiral M.K. Barskov (1945 - 2013), who from 1994 to 1998 was the head of the General Directorate of Shipbuilding, and from 1998 to 2003, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy for armament, shipbuilding and operation.

The second tanker of project 03182 Boris Averkin (serial number 9002) under this contract was officially laid down at the Eastern Shipyard on February 6, 2018. The contractual deadline for its completion is the end of 2019, although it is obvious that this deadline will not be met.

The Russian Ministry of Defense also entered into contracts with other shipbuilding enterprises for the construction of four more tankers of project 03182. It was reported that in 2015 two tankers were ordered by A. Gorky Zelenodolsk Plant JSC (part of the group of companies Ak Holding Company Bars “) in Zelenodolsk, however, there is no data on their construction.

The contract for the construction of two more small marine tankers of project 03182 for the Black Sea Fleet (port of registry - Sevastopol), with delivery in 2019 and 2020, was received in 2016 by Volga Shipbuilding Plant JSC in Nizhny Novgorod, where the first tanker was Vice Admiral Paromov "(serial number 850) was laid down on September 1, 2016 and launched on December 20, 2018. The second Nizhny Novgorod tanker Vasily Nikitin (serial number 851) was laid down on March 10, 2017.

The small marine tanker of project 03182 was developed by Zelenodolsk Design and Design Bureau JSC as a “multipurpose platform of a reinforced ice class vessel to provide the concept of Arctic vessels for transporting liquid and dry cargo, discharge cargo and people with the possibility of receiving helicopter equipment (including unmanned aircraft) and rescue operations. " In addition to receiving, storing, transporting and transferring liquid cargoes, the tanker of project 03182 is also intended for supplying ships and vessels with cargo in barrel containers, crates, pallets, containers, etc .; collection of bilge, sewage, dry garbage and food waste; patrols, emergency rescue duty in the areas of navigation, fishing, offshore oil and gas fields; Search and relief for ships in distress; technical support in areas hazardous to navigation; services for transport operations in ports; removal from shallows and reefs of damaged vessels; pumping water from flooded compartments and towing emergency vessels and objects to a place of refuge, including in ice; perform the functions of a fire vessel.
