Project 2038.0: Steregushchy Corvette

I was checking the list of all electronics on the ship and I noticed six radars: Furke-E, Zaslon, Monument-A, MR for navigation, Puma for fire control and even Poliment (btw this means that it has Poliment-Redut air defense with 300 km range - equal to Gorshkov class). Does anyone know if all of them are AESA?

Any idea when the Gremyashchiy will be commissioned? It was launched around the same time as the Gromkiy. I wonder why it takes so long for the Russian Navy to commission ships.

What about Retivy and Strogy in STP  they were planed for 2018? Any info about them?

Rear Admiral Igor Korolev said that “two more corvettes of the project 20380 will be built by the Amur Shipbuilding Plant. They are basically the same project, but they have one feature. If we look at the tower-mast complex, their U-shaped mast will disappear, and the front one will acquire several other outlines, and a multi-functional radar system of the ship will be installed in it. "

Well range of poliment on 20385 is not really bigger right? BTW I'm not a radio engineer but what is difference in passive mode there? L band is in passive mode means can see stealth objects

20385 has Zaslon not Poliment.
I don't think I've seen any quotes on the detection range of Poliment but I assume its more powerful.

Consistent naming 20380 have Furke-redut & 20385 would be Zaslon-redut.

Would probably be better if they gave it a unified name like Naval Vityaz or something.

Stealth fighters radars don't work in L band. If you want to to see them you need active L band radar.

"On April 21, the newest frigate of the project 22350 Admiral Kasatonov and the corvette of the project 20385 Thundering will be put to sea from the berths of the Severnaya Verf enterprise (St. Petersburg) to conduct factory running trials in the designated Baltic Sea testing grounds," Dygalo said.

Head corvette "Gremyashchy" project 20385 in the sea

As the Severnaya Verf Shipbuilding Plant (St. Petersburg) reported, on April 21, 2019, for the first time, the head corvette “Gremyashchy” of project 20385 (serial number 1005) built by this company for the Russian Navy went to sea. The ship should be transferred to the Navy by the end of 2019 and enter the Pacific Fleet.

“Gremyashchy” is the lead Corvette of Project 20385 built on the “Northern Shipyard” for the Russian Navy in a series of two ships of this modification and was laid down on February 1, 2012. The corvette was removed from the elliptical enterprise on June 16, 2017 and launched on June 30, 2017. When the ship was launched, the date of its transfer to the Navy was the end of 2018.

The second corvette of the project 20385 “Provornyy” (serial number 1006) was laid on July 26, 2013. Both ships are built according to the state contract No. 253/05/2 / К / 0546-06 dated March 27, 2006 with the Ministry of Defense of Russia. According to the additional contract concluded with the Ministry of Defense in 2011, construction of eight more Project 20385 corvettes was supposed to be built at the Northern Shipyard by 2020. However, wishes for further improvement of the project and widespread use of imported components on this project, including German main diesel engines MTU, trapped after 2014, under sanctions restrictions, led to the decision of the Russian Navy to limit the series of project 20385 to only two ships laid down under a contract of 2006.

Nonetheless, Rear Admiral Vladimir Tryapichnikov, head of the shipbuilding department of the Russian Navy, said at the ceremony of launching the corvette “Gremyashchy” on June 30, 2017 that it was still planned to build two more corvettes of the project 20385, in addition to the two under construction, although the question of the timing of the laying of two more corvettes will be resolved after testing the lead ship.

The construction of both pledged corvettes of the project 20385 was strongly delayed due to the non-delivery of the main diesel engines MTU for them. On January 30, 2015, the Ministry of Defense of Russia entered into Supplemental Agreement No. 3/1/1/0053-D17-15-DGOZ with the Northern Shipyard for the completion of both project 20385 corvettes with Russian-made diesel engines - diesel engines 1DDA-12000 produced by Kolomensky JSC plant "(installed on the first four Project 20380 built on the Severnaya Verf shipyard with serial numbers 1001-1004). Each corvette received two diesel units, the structure of one unit 1DDA-12000 includes two main marine engines 16D49 with a capacity of 6000 hp. production of the Kolmensky plant and reverse gear transmission RDD 12000, produced by JSC "Star".

   The installation of Russian diesel engines on corvettes was carried out pursuant to Decision of the Ministry of Defense of Russia No. 235/1/1/2335 on the procedure for replacing imported equipment during the construction of corvettes of projects 20385 and 20380 with serial numbers 1005-1008, adopted after the introduction of sanctions and the refusal of the German concern MTU from the delivery of power plants. Eight sets of 1DDA-12000 units for these four corvettes were ordered by Severnaya Verfyu at JSC Kolomensky Zavod in May 2015 at a price of more than 577 million rubles per unit, with delivery from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017.
