Auxilliary vessels, Special-purpose and minor naval ships

Correct

No point wasting perfectly good hulls

AK-630 is for missile defense, these two ships will not be traveling alone anywhere outside coastal AA and aviation coverage

If they move away from coast they will not be doing it alone

Here is full setup with Urans

They could have easily added extra pair but they probably thought that if 16 can't do the job then 24 won't make a difference either

No reason to

This ship will not be operating outside air cover

This upgrade was done because it was quick, cheap and simple

Old missiles were discontinued so they decided to get some extra mileage from these ships by installing cheap modern alternative

Replacing AA suite would not be quick, cheap or simple

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.


Launching at Vostochnaya Verf JSC, the head of the small marine tanker Mikhail Barskov (serial number 9001) of project 03182, which is being built at the facility for the Russian Navy for the Russian Navy; Vladivostok, 08.28.2019 (c) Igor Novikov / Administration of Primorsky Krai

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.

The tanker of project 03182 of the Arc4 ice class should have a total displacement of 3,500 tons, a deadweight of 1,560 dwt, a length of 75 m, a width of 15.4 m, a draft in full load of 5 m and be equipped with an electric power plant with propeller columns. The crew of 24 people with the possibility of accommodating another eight people. The ship will be equipped with a runway for a Ka-27 class helicopter.

The construction of a series of new auxiliary vessels for the Russian Navy, developed at the Vympel Design Bureau as part of the Platform-DTO development work, will begin to be built starting from universal transport. About this Mil.Press FlotProm told two knowledgeable industry sources.



The project assigned number 23482, added one of the interlocutors of the publication. 



Consultations are already underway on the choice of a shipyard builder, another source noted. "Ships of such a displacement - up to 18 thousand tons - can build not many factories," he added. 

According toreportthe design bureau for 2018, the development of "a significant part of the working design documentation (RCD) for the construction of transport for the Russian Navy" has already been completed. Also, Vympel Design Bureau reported on the development of a unified platform for four technical projects of the auxiliary fleet: universal transport, killer vessel, universal tanker and a multi-purpose logistics support vessel with deployment on board a full-time shipboard hospital (code "Platform-DTO"). 

According to the publication, the RKD for transport is planned to be prepared at the turn of 2019–2020. Bookmarking can be carried out in a year, when they decide on the construction plant.

As the interlocutor at the Krylov State Scientific Center told Mil.Press FlotProm, the fleet needs the auxiliary vessels of large displacement of the far sea zone. "In the coming years, the Russian Navy will receive several new frigates and modernized BODs of Project 1155 (reclassified as frigates - ed.). To ensure their operations in different parts of the World Ocean, appropriate support vessels will need to be built in large series," he said.

In June 2015, the head of the United Shipbuilding Corporation Alexei Rakhmanov said in response to a question from the publication that the development of Vympel was presented and handed over to the military, shipbuilders were waiting for the customer’s decision.

As the head of the auxiliary fleet service of the Ministry of Defense’s transport support department, captain of rank Sergey Epifanov, told the newspaper’s journalist in December 2018, the construction of a series of auxiliary vessels for the Russian Navy designed on the platform-DTO topic will begin after the competition for the selection of order-executing shipyards. 

On a single modular platform, Vympel designers are developing at least four projects for auxiliary fleet vessels. Projects were assigned numbers from 23480 onwards.

They are talking about large auxiliary ships up to 18000tons... maybe they could build them in Zaliv (Kerch)?

I guess they mean these fellows.

exactly those.
In addition to Zaliv, that for sure would benefit orders for large vessels,
other shipyards large enough for it would be the Admiralty and the Baltic shipyards in sankt Petersburg, possibly the Vyborg shipyard, and for sure Zvezda. (Sevmash has of course the size and capabilities to build them, but it is the only shipyard currently building nuclear subs)
