Could you be so kind to list any warship class in the World with same displacement +- 200 tonnes more heavily armed?

Very well let us look at another Russian ship, a frigate class the Grigorovich, now the frigate is about 400 tons heavier thats not huge in ship mass so they are fairly similar sized ships.

one is 3600ish the other is about 4k even fully load.

I am copy to copy and past their weapons exactly so no one can say "American BS"

for the frigate

1 × 100 mm A-190 Arsenal naval gun
1 × 8 UKSK 3S14 VLS cells for Kalibr and Oniks and Zircon
2 × 12 3S90M Shtil-1 VLS cells
2 × Kashtan CIWS
8 × Igla-1 (SA-16)
2 × 2 533 mm torpedo tubes
1 × RBU-6000 rocket launcher

1 Chopper (also has ASW ability)


for the "corvette"

1 × 100 mm A-190
2 × 30 mm AK-630M CIWS
2 × 14.5 mm MTPU machine guns
Redut medium-range air defense system (2 × 8 cells)
Paket-NK anti-torpedo/anti-submarine torpedoes (provided by choppers only)

2 Choppers

Kalibers, it can mount these in containers only but then it must sacrifice things to mount them


OR we can look at their problem frigate

1 × 130mm Amethyst/Arsenal A-192M naval gun with rate of fire of 45 rds per minute [10]
16 (2 × UKSK VLS cells fitted with P-800 Oniks (SS-N-26) and/or Kalibr missile system (SS-N-27)
32 (4 × Redut VLS cells housing 9M96, 9M96M, 9M96D/9M96DM(M2) family of missiles and/or quad-packed 9M100 short range missiles
2 × Palash CIWS
2 × 4 330mm torpedo tubes for Paket-NK anti-torpedo/anti-submarine torpedoes
2 × 14.5mm MTPU pedestal machine guns

1 Chopper

Yes this frigate is about 1k tons heavier but again in terms of ship weight that isn't massive infact the Gorshkov's bema is only 4 meters longer then the Derk and it's length is only about 80ft longer then the Derk's. The only reason is weighs 1k more is because of howmuch they packed into it weapon wise.

Now both frigates out class the Derk in combat ability but the Derk outclasses them in the utility if offers the navy.

Well has stated the Derk's are weakly armed for a ship of their size but they weren't built to be frontline combat ships, they basically support vessels. you should not compare them to outright combat ships,

I seriously love this ship. Weapons don't need to sit on the ship all the freaking time. Multi-role and Modular is the future!

Even if they did that it would not equal a Gork's weapon count, has stated prior if you want the utility that is going to cost you weaponry, but if you want weapons that is going to cost you utility, you cannot have a ship at like 5k tons that have the Gork weapon count and Derk's utility ability, that simply cannot be done

You cannot have one ship does it all, that simply compromises the ship trying to jam everything into one package

They tried same thing already with Steregushi and Gremashi, it just doesn't work

They need several different sizes and ranges, no going around it

Derzki is 109m and is a corvette. Gorshkov is a frigate and is much better than a corvette.

If you make it bigger it becomes a Gorshkov.

Corvettes are supposed to be  smaller with smaller crew and smaller endurence just to be cheaper and easier to operate. They are between Karakurt which will be very limited ships but very cheap to operate and gorshkovs which are expensive to operate and used for other tasks.

If you have all three in black see fleet and you detect a US ship. You send first coast guards with patrol ship to see what's going on.

Then you send a karakurt and if it doesn't leave and you know you will need to spend more time watching it, you send a Derzki equiped with kalibrs (if it is a sub you send it with anti sub kalibrs) and call back the karakurt.

If the US ship start acting stupidly you call back the corvette in a safe zone and send a Gorshkov and the karakurt with some medicines (oniks) to join the derzki and put the medicines in the stupid ship togather.


If a big ship like a frigate or destroyer does this it will be expensive because it is a bigger ship with bigger engines and bigger crew. Only US navy use 1 type of ship for everything and they soend a lot to use an aegis ship to watch another ship.

And weapons are not the only thing that matters. Radars on a frigate are generaly better than those on a corvette. For steregouchshy I heard the radar is an updated bigger pantsir radar and it uses only the 40km 9M96 missiles while gorshkov can use the 120km.

I know what ship you mean and yeah the FREMM has much more weaponry than a Derk

Even the British Type 23 frigate has more weapons
