Udaloy and Sovremennyy destroyers

Isos wrote:IMO they will try to install a laser CIWS. The same as thz new ground based one but more for test purpose and improve it over the time until it becomes good enough.

It has nuk power plant to feed a lot of energy. The ship is perfect for it.

That ship has probably two or three secret weapon that we don't know of.

I confused this thread for kirov thread. I remove the sentance in the middle but the rest is still true.

2 sovremennyy destroyers written off, that leaves only 1 active

Active is a big word. Good to get ride of them since it will oblige them to hurry up with Gorshkovs.

Thats likely going to be delusional. Nothing of that sort is going to happen unless the $cums are flushed out and monoploy is broken.

People need to remember that almost every single new projects of the Russian navy, namely Pr.22350 and even the highly constrained Pr.20380/3/5 with 15 days endurance (that too for a navy with almost nil foreign base/friendly ports and hardly any fleet support/replenishment) has been monopolized by the most incompetent yard in Russia.

Destroyer "Admiral Ushakov" hit a mock enemy with a cruise missile in the Barents Sea




Novosti VPK, 24 August; As part of an exercise in the Northern Fleet with a grouping of diverse strike forces, the destroyer Admiral Ushakov practiced delivering a missile attack on a surface ship of a mock enemy.

The crew of the destroyer fired at a sea target with a Moskit cruise missile. The combat exercise was carried out in the area of ​​the Barents Sea, closed in advance to civil navigation.

The distance from the launch point to the target was up to 100 km. According to objective control data, the target was successfully hit.

Earlier, the crew of the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov" in cooperation with the heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Pyotr Veliky" worked out practical anti-aircraft missile and artillery missile targets as part of an air defense exercise for a detachment of ships at sea, the press service of the Northern Fleet reports.

Anti-submarine ship "Admiral Vinogradov" will become a frigate by 2025
He will receive increased strike capabilities compared to the BPK "Marshal Shaposhnikov"

MOSCOW, 10 December. /TASS/. The large anti-submarine ship (BPK) of project 1155 "Admiral Vinogradov" of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet), following the example of the similar BPK "Marshal Shaposhnikov", will become a frigate by 2025, having received increased strike capabilities compared to its predecessor. This was reported to TASS by two sources in the military-industrial complex.

“The frigate Admiral Vinogradov is expected to return to the fleet in 2024-2025, after modernization it will receive increased combat power compared to the Marshal Shaposhnikov,” one of them said.

It is known that the main shock complex of "Marshal Shaposhnikov" after the modernization was "Caliber-NK". Another TASS source did not rule out that in the event of an increase in the combat power of Admiral Vinogradov, we can talk not only about Caliber-NK, but also about the latest Zirkon hypersonic missiles.
According to one of the interlocutors of the agency, the line for the modernization of the project 1155 BPK into frigates - and there are five such ships in the Russian Navy now, not counting Marshal Shaposhnikov and Admiral Vinogradov - will be continued.

Nice look at the new radar on top of the bridge

Udaloy are really nice ships. Excellent propulsion, nice size, fast, long ranged. If they can get good life out of them, it makes a lot of sense to do these major upgrades. Great looking ships as well. Somehow when a ship looks right it seems to work well.

Most important is that they still have 8 of them in fine condition, so the series is worth investing in.

They designed the project 21956 as a follow on that is based on Udaloy design. But they went for missile boats and corvettes and the complicated Gorshkov design.

With some modifications it could have Tor launchers, 32 uksk, 4 phased aesa radar in an integrated mast.

That thing would become an obsolete waste of dock space the moment the first Lider class hits the water. It has absolutely no defense against ballistic or hypersonic missiles and an insufficient sumber of air defense missiles to operate outside of Russian waters.

The upgraded udaloys need redut VLS and the zaslon radar more than UKSKs.

But they went for missile boats and corvettes and the complicated Gorshkov design.

If the Gorskov design is complex as you claim then under what logical reason did the RU navy pursue this project instead of the less complicated project 21956

When performing training tasks to search for submarines, the LAS uses the Ka-27 helicopter, which it took on board before going to sea.

The areas for performing combat exercises in the Barents Sea are closed to civil navigation and aviation flights, the Russian Defense Ministry noted. After completing the assigned tasks at sea, the ship will return to the main base point - Severomorsk.

"Admiral Levchenko" - a large anti-submarine ship of project 1155. The LAS was laid down in January 1982 at the Zhdanov plant (now - "Northern Shipyard") under the name "Khabarovsk", but in May of the same year it was renamed "Admiral Levchenko". The ship was commissioned into the fleet in May 1989.

In the second half of the 2010s, the BOD was at a base in Severomorsk awaiting repairs. At the beginning of 2021, the ship was transferred to the Nerpa shipyard in Snezhnogorsk. Completion of the refurbishment was planned before the end of the same year.

With a total displacement of 7570 tons and a hull length of 163.5 meters, the Project 1155 BOD can reach speeds of up to 29.5 knots. Cruising range - up to 5,000 nautical miles at an economical speed of 18 knots, autonomy - 30 days. Crew - 220 people (including 29 officers).
