Russian Naval Construction Plans and Numbers

Creation of an ocean corvette with 24 "Calibers" put off to the back

Consideration of the issue of starting substantive work on the concept of a corvette of the ocean zone, proposed by the Krylov State Research Center (KGNC) in 2017, was postponed to the mid-2020s. About this Mil.Press FlotProm told a knowledgeable industry source.

"Due to the lack of funds and the development of the construction of the corvettes of the project 20386, the decision to create a corvette on the basis of the KGNC concept will be adopted closer to the end of the current state armaments program," the source said.

A concept project of a multi-purpose ship of the subclass "Corvette" was created in the advanced design department of combat surface ships of the Krylov center. It combines powerful strike armament - 24 vertical launch installations for the “Caliber” - with good seaworthiness, which will allow the corvette to work in the ocean zone. The frigates of the project 22350 type "Admiral Gorshkov" carry only 16 "Caliber".

According to the creators of the promising corvette, the construction of such ships should be carried out in a large series using assembly units. The latter will speed up the construction.
The source of Mil.Press FlotProm in the Almaz Central Design Bureau said that the concept-project of the Krylov Center does not compete with the development of the bureau: "Naval science moves independently; tests in the KGNTs basins ". The interviewee was skeptical about the possibility of translating the concept into reality.
According to the creator of the corvette, the head of the advanced design department for surface warships of the Krylov Center, Valentin Belonenko, the sailors got acquainted with the concept of the ship. Belonenko stressed the high nautical qualities of the corvette. He also noted that the technical solutions that emerged during the development of the concept were used in the construction of one of the newest ships of the Russian Navy.

The displacement of the prospective corvette is 2000–2500 tons. The ship’s air defenses are provided by 16 long-range anti-aircraft missiles and 32 short-range ones. It is also equipped with a universal 100-mm automatic gun mount and two 30-mm six- or twelve-barreled rapid-fire anti-aircraft artillery systems. Anti-submarine armament and anti-torpedo protection are represented by two four-tube torpedo tubes “Packet-NK” of 324 mm caliber. Strike armament - 24 Caliber cruise missiles. According to the creators of the concept, their number can be increased if necessary.

So we can add Anime-class corvette to the list of Krylov's Anime-series vaporware alongside Anime-class destroyer and 2 different Anime-class carriers    

Although who knows, maybe they are just ''unsure'' again?

And if by some miracle they do start building destroyer it will not look like that early 2000s fanart

GarryB wrote:Lots of missiles tubes is a good thing, but at the end of the day these are war ships that will spend 90% of their operational lives just doing normal things, so onboard comfort and room and food and fuel supplies also need to allow for comfort and reasonable deployment times, and of course good sea keeping is a must.

And this without count the Projects ongoing that would create more redundancies.

This is what you can expect from the Russian Ministry of Defense if the timeline of the production of the first unit of the Project 23560 and the Project 23000 is not in agreement with the timeline for the current new generation of armament and heavy auxiliary material, creating one or two holes in the generation just in the top of the sea based armament:

1.- After the approval of the Preliminary Design of new aircraft carrier (likely Project 23000), no-one Preliminary Project more of combat or auxiliary ship will be approved until 2026. The projects affected would be the Projects of ships of the second link [#213501], not listed here.

2.- The funding for the development of these future projects of the second link will fall to 0 until 2026.

3.- After the order of the first unit of the new aircraft carrier (likely Project 23000) it will not be new orders of new ships of the current projects in production until 2026.

4.- The funding for the ships under construction today will be more strongly adapted to the real priorities of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

And from the Russian Gouvernment you can expect also consequences for the leadership of the United Shipbuilding Corporation.

Agreed, and i suspect this is a confirmation that their indigenous MGTs have now passed muster and the RuN is prepared to order new hulls as a consequence.
