Oh.... Sputnik..... That's a disappointment.

Meh, could still be true, but not really consistent with 6 in service by 2025.

Frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" prepared for the installation of the crew

Apparently Gorshkov engine is fixed https://flotprom.ru/2018/%D0%A1%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F%D0%92%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%84%D1%8C14/
Done with engine in-situ, apparently a connecting rod issue.

Navy may receive frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" in June 
Earlier it was reported that the frigate "Adimral Gorshkov" would be handed over to the fleet in late summer due to the ongoing tests of anti-aircraft missile weapons.
The frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" can be transferred to the navy in June, Interfax reports with reference to the head of the United Shipbuilding Corporation Alexei Rakhmanov .
"I think until the end of June. Already now it is clear more or less. We hope, "A. Rakhmanov said.
Frigates Project 22350 - multipurpose frigates far sea zone, are being constructed for re-Navy Amphibious  Russia .
At the moment, two frigates, Admiral Kasatonov Fleet and Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov, have been launched. The latter passes state tests. The armament of the ships is made up of rocket RK P-800 "Onyx" and "Caliber-NK".

And that they finally order some more...

At this point I don't think Russian navy is all that interested in those old pre 2012 designs. I think in category of above 1k tons displacement Russian navy wants more project 20386 Derzkii type of ships with multi mission modularity in form of large hangar space that can either carry multiple helicopters for anti submarine mission, or ISO containers with long range missiles for land strike missions , or special equipment and marines for infiltration for diversant missions, and so on.

Also given that much of Russian shipbuilding industry is obviously heavily infiltrated and subverted to near point of paralysis I don't think Russia navy should bother ordering any new major ships until shipyards managements are thoroughly purged and reorganised. If they order them they won't get them as long as current bunch of treasonous scum is controlling those shipyards.

Has there been any talk of an improved Gorshkov with at least double the cruise missile load?
And no, i am not talking about the Super-Gorshkov Destroyer.

22350M is supposed to be about 8000ton is about all thats known.
The size difference is about right for a doubling of the missile load

Just some newish pics from Balancer.
Gorshkov went out to North Sea a few days in April to test the fixed diesel.

Does anyone know about any approx date about this boi? Waiting since 2006.....more than Marvel fans waited for Infinity war

Sometime in this or next decade (first ship, rest of them who knows)

It's been so long since they started that they are already in need of upgrade

Another decade from now and they will need replacement class

First ship next month. It was delayed from June to August first, but they said that tests are going really well, so June is realistic once again

Next ship probably late 2018/early 2019.

And in 2019/2020, the successor, 6500 or 8000 ton Super Gorshkov will be laid down

Any news on the name of the sucessor?

Nope

It is the 21st Century Papa... these things will get updates every time they boot up... lots of software patches and updates, not to mention a few new complete OS during its operational lifetime...

and module architecture let's you replace odl modules with new ones BUT still 22160 should be voted corvette of the year instead of 22800

Indeed, and also if you build new modules based on the same standard you can just include them in new designs and add them to existing designs too... Very clever.

With current new vessels getting UKSK launchers, then all new missiles can be designed to be compatible and so even Corvettes entering service now can still used missiles that aren't even in service yet.

In comparison in the 1970s when you developed Granit, you had to build the new vessels that carried it... and to carry Granit you needed a big ship or sub which means not that many in service and quite a while to get them into service in numbers.

A huge step forward.

Gorshkov has transited to Severomorsk for weapon testing, talking about commissioning in August.

For all its delays Gorshkov is still a damn sexeh ship
Bunch of pics from Severomorsk via Balancer

It seems the Admiral Gorshkov is going to be accepted in service, so the Poliment-Redut is finally working properly?

I presume yes - Kuz is also gonna get it

-We finally got the ship to work properly, should we stop building them now altogether?

-Don't worry, we stopped building them years ago.

-Excellent!!!

Could we still say that the Gorshkov is the best frigate in the world as of 2018? The second best, the FREMMs have poorer AShms, worse torp countermeasures, poorer CIWS, and a worse selection of ASW weapons. I dont know about the south korean or japanese frigates though.



BTW why did the development of the Aster 30  go so fast and smoothly compared to the redut, even though MBDA and Thales have historically created worse SAMs than Almaz Antey? Could we say the 9M96 is garbage compared to the Aster 30?

Only if the PR system actually works properly.
Definitely best within traditional Frigate size range, some of the bigger Destroyer-size-ships-named-as-Frigates are arguably better.

BTW why did the development of the Aster 30  go so fast and smoothly compared to the redut

Aster started development in '89 with first test fire in '95 so not exactly super rapid...
Even then Type 45s went into service in 2009 without it functional, only did first test firing in 2010.
