Can it load missiles on other combat ships ? what are russian ship that can suplly combat ship with weapons ?

i think its role is to tansport smaller naval ships to other countries/places

That large crane will allow large pallets of ammo and stores to be transferred I suspect... probably including missiles for the UKSK vertical launch system...

It would be used to resupply Russian military vessels at sea with weapons... so this vessel could meet a destroyer in the persian gulf and rearm it with cruise missiles after it has launched an attack so it can be fully armed and ready to engage more targets without returning to port.

Launching of the sea tanker "Academician Pashin"

As reported on May 26, 2016 LLC "Nevsky Shipyard" (Shlisselburg, Leningrad Oblast) hosted launch of medium sea tanker "Akademik Pashin", project 23130.

From Nevsky Shipyard
Nevsky Shipyard launched the medium-sized sea tanker “Academician Pashin”

On May 26th 2016 Nevsky Shipyard launched the medium-sized sea tanker “Academician Pashin” (23130 project).

Tanker “Academician Pashin” is the biggest vessel ever launched at Nevsky Shipyard for more than its centenary history.

A lot of work on modernization of the Shipyard slip was done before the tanker launching. Because of completed works the weight of launched vessels has increased up to 4 000 tons, and their length has reached 150 meters.

The construction of the ship is being carried out in accordance with the State Contract for the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. The project is developed by Spetssudoproect, JSC.

Good snaps from the site. Posting it all coz I loved it.  

For those who have info on these...

Project 23130 (April 2014, Nevsky) and Project 23131 (Dec 2014, Zaliv) are both tanker projects and there was some reports of construction of Project 23131 having stopped at Zaliv shipyard in Kerch.

So what had happened and what did I miss?  
Is there still any project for tankers going on @ Zaliv?

Laying down @ Zaliv
http://www.kerch.com.ru/articleview.aspx?id=43298



From the above article the 23131 spec quoted was 145 meters long with a beam of 24 meters, deadweight – 12,000 tons, which are from translated text.
That deadweight looks misquoted (?), as the 23130 have a deadweight of 5,000t and 9,000t @ 7m draught to make up its 14,000t max displacement.

Or is it a new larger tanker whose deadweight is 12,000t? In which case it translates into a tanker with more than 20,000 ton max displacement.

For comparison, Indian Navy's newer Italian built fleet tanker (which used commercial standard steel, developed crack in hull in rough seas near Portugal during her voyage to India accompanying INS Vikramaditya) have an overall length of 175 meter, beam of 25 meter with a displacement of 27,000 tonnes maximum.

Also, repeating a question that I had asked earlier. Does anyone have any info regarding what design Russia had submitted for Indian Navy's fleet tanker requirements?
Or is it the 23131 that Russia offered?

23131 i think is an improvement of 23130. Its bigger in length by 15m

Searched little more for any visual proof of the 23131 and I came across some from the Zaliv website. http://zalivkerch.com/
Juoogle scums still do not show this website in the first 3 pages of search with any logical combination of words. They still show the banderstan website for Zaliv. http://www.zaliv.com/en/

In the new Zaliv website there is no mention of the project, neither in the 7 pages of their news section that starts from Aug 2014.

This one mentions 23131 with twin shafts.

Ok edited the post which was based on my thoughts that the below pic was that of 23131....after visual confirmation I have come to the conclusion that its the project CF7200.

So what happened with the 23131 after it was laid down at Zaliv, has it been cancelled??



Combi – freighter project CF7200, 10 of which were built in 2007-2011.

Oceanographic vessel "Almaz" laid down in Kaliningrad:

http://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/78833/

"The Project 21180 diesel-electric lead ice-breaker Ilya Muromets, the first vessel of this class for the domestic Navy in 45 years, was floated out at the Admiralty Wharves Shipyard in St. Petersburg in northwest Russia, a TASS correspondent reports from the scene. The solemn ceremony is being attended by Chief of the Russian Navy Main Staff Vice-Admiral Andrei Volozhinsky, Head of the Defense Ministry’s State Defense Order Provision Department Andrei Vernigora and Admiralty Wharves CEO Alexander Buzakov. "Today, after a five-year break, we’re floating out a new vessel - a supply ice-breaker with large functional capabilities. Symbolically, the nuclear-powered ice-breaker Lenin was laid down at this slipway 60 years ago," Buzakov said.

The Ilya Muromets was laid down on April 23, 2015. The vessel displaces 6,000 tons, has a sea endurance of 9,000 miles and can operate autonomously for 60 days. The ice-breaker’s crew will total 35. The Ilya Muromets is designed both for the ice-breaking functions and the capabilities of a sea-going tug and a patrol ship."

^^^ Will this be used as basis for that Arctic Patrol Vessel? Size seems comparable.

Just over 1 year build time?  That sounds very quick for 6kT displacement vessel   It puts paid to the tiresome myth promulgated by our corrupt corporate MSM hacks that Russians can't build ships....

Yes, it seems Russian shipyards could build ships quite quickly. I think the main problem, that they build new corvettes and frigates that long is in new generation armament, sensors and electronic equipment with all those installations, tunings, testings, etc.

An of course unreliable foreign suppliers of engines and components...

That is fast.
They seem to be getting a good number of auxiliaries online.

Were the azipods built in Russia or imported?

The Navy seems keen to keep this shipyard in work. The boat looks like an updated E-Boat from WW2.

A contract for two boats of torpedolike the project 1388Н3 June 18th, 0:03 http://bmpd.livejournal.com/1968526.html

As reported in the published annual report of OJSC "Sokolskaya Sudoverf" (Sokol'skoye, Nizhny Novgorod oblast) for 2015, the company in the reporting year, has signed a state contract for construction for the Russian Navy of two boats-torpedolab the project 1388Н3 (serial numbers 451 and 452) for delivery in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Interestingly, these boats-torpedolike must be created on the basis of a draft 1388Н3 serially built on Sokolskaya shipyard boats communication, a project which he, in turn, is based on the boat design-torpedolike 1388 (the last was built for the Navy at Sosnovskoye shipyard from 1974 to 1990 in the amount of 39 units). Project 1388 (code "Cormorant") was developed by design Bureau "Vympel". We can assume that the phrase "on the basis of the project 1388Н3" means the use of imported engines (project 1388Н3 used Carterpillar diesel engines 3512В).

In addition to the conclusion of the contract the two-boats-torpedolike, OJSC "Sokolskaya Sudoverf", according to its report, handed over in 2015, the Russian defense Ministry two ships-target project 436бис (factory numbers 020 and 021) and continued to build another communication boat project 1388Н3 (serial number 403). Military orders make up 99.8% of the production of the small shipyard (172 employees).

Since 2006 the company has passed the Ministry of defense of Russia, eight of the target vessels project 436бис (with serial numbers for 014 021) and three communication boat project 1388Н/H3 (serial number 482, 401, and 402). In October 2014, was signed state contract for the supply of another three boats when the project 1388Н3 (factory room 403 at 405) for delivery in 2017-2019 years.

Heap of trash would be an understatement,
What were they thinking? Also Caterpillar engines

It's not a war ship but a support vessel used for testing. If anything the naval support fleet was older and in worse shape then it's combat fleet. Over a hundred new ones are being built between 2011-2020.
