- Estimated ship date output from the workshop - 15 July.
At present, there are no problems in order to carry out all work in the set time frame.
Conducted enormous work on elektroosnascheniyu corvette shop works practically in two shifts.
Professionals need to build about 240 km of cables, the daily rate for stacking - 3 km a day, everything goes on schedule.
This work attracted workers from other plants, all aimed at to pass the patrol at the appointed time.

So if I understand right, we will sea 2 more in the Baltic fleet until the end of the next year and one more in the Pacific with 2 more by 2020.

Any news on the launch of the first 20385, it should be happening soon.

To keep them working. Plus they still need ships so even if they take forever, they can still use them once floated out.

But USC should be putting emphasis on restructuring it.

It took them five years I wouldn't call that all action.

I mean after many many years of sloooow progress we have the first completed & the 2nd nearly launched within a few months of each other -> lots of action

Video from the yesterdays launch, at the end of the video you can see a haul from one of the 20380 corvettes, but which one. You can tell it's a 20380 corvette by the very pointy front end and the slight curve in he bow all the way to the top.

It might be the second 20385 since the last info is that it will be commissioned in 2019, and the next pair of 20380, the Retiviy and the Strogiy are to be commissioned next year along with the first 20385 so they have to be more far along in the build. Retiviy and the Strogiy where started at the same time but it's a question whether the work was done at the same speed on both ships. Everything else of this project is being built in Amur.

Via Balancer, apparently they are doing a radar upgrade on 20380

The ship's radar coverage air and surface situation, the system of radar data processing - complex of works on technical maintenance, current repair, completion and servicing (BOM): The ship's radar coverage air and surface situation, the system of radar data processing - Range of works on completion 5P-27M radar on order pr. 20380 of the Baltic fleet

1* for 20380 not several for 20381 (I assume on an official tender document they'd make the distinction), prototype for upgrading the others?
5P-27 is the Furke-4 on Gorshkov so presumably 5P-27M is an improvement on that

Not installed yet?  The link has larger pics and they clearly show the sonar bulb is still to be attached.

Man I just keep coming back to this pic, that bow is so goddamn fine

Its gonna be such a damn handsome ship

The type of radar on 203085 Class Corvette is mind boggling , Covers X , S and many other band

Yes its a very impressive package.
...If it actually exists & can be made to work properly
I want to believe its there, progressing well & will work as advertised.

But there was that recent article alleging huge corruption & non-delivery of products from the manufacturer.
Even before that I've been pretty worried since I have seen no sign of a prototype  & no news at all on how progress has been going.
(has been mention at Balancer of test setup at Lake Ladoga but also said it wasn't showing much sign of progress)

GREMYASHY has been launched today.

The keyword here is "alleging".  Without evidence, such assertions mean NOTHING, and is likely nothing but propaganda BS.

BTW non-delivery is not actually evidence of "corruption".  Sometimes the R&D and production efforts simply fail, not because of theft or misappropriation of funds, but simply because technical issues cannot be solved with the hardware constructed or the funds allocated.  Note that I'm NOT saying that this is the case with 20385 radar suite, just making a general point...

You're not wrong & I certainly hope that everything is coming along fine.

Bit more detail on planning to build 4 ships

Really would have been a nice time to get an upgrade on progress of the Barrier radar system but haven't seen any mention of it yet.
Lots of talk about delay caused by import substitution of the engines.

There is a display version of the 20385 mast at IMDS

Is that really a stochastic TR module setup?   (looks like it in the video up-thread also)

On Balancer its been pointed out the 20386 model at IMDS has a change from truncated cone to a ball radar dome inside the tripod, Furke/Positiv?

Also has 2* AK-630 instead of the one on the keel laying CGI, superstructure cut down around them so they'll actually have useful firing arcs
