    Poliment-Redut replacing Osa?

    Do I really need to spell out how stupid such a statement is?
    Why? Osa will be 80s obsolete scrap metal by 2020s, its 150% logical there will be Redut, morphei or possibly even S-500.

    Really guys?

    Osa? The small, contained installation that takes up a tiny amount of deck space, and you think it will be replaced by Redut which:
    1.) Has enormous range in comparison
    2.) Takes up vastly more deck space
    3.) Needs an entire Poliment array (like on 22350) to function?
    4.) And I am supposed to believe they will put both R-P AND S-500/400 on it? What the hell is the point of such expensive and heavy redundancy?

    You are comparing apples and oranges here. Redut-Poliment is in no way an Osa replacement.
    Kinzhal was in many ways the Osa replacement, not Redut.

    Osa doesn't even need specific replacement- just standardize on Pantsir-M as the Osa/Ak630 successor.

    Never even said that I believed that... It is a possibility, but there would be a lesser number of missiles on-board. The 9M100 could be considered an Osa replacement, and is compatible with the Redut... 

    As for it taking up deck space... We are talking about a Kirov here... 

    A Poliment array would be a relatively easy addition, no reason to doubt it... 

    IMHO, they should replace the Osa with some sort of 9M100 system + Pantsir's (that isn't Redut) and replace the S-300's to the S-400 at least. That is probably the most likely scenario as well... 

    I agree on the Pantsir, though I'd assume adding a large number of them would increase the cost dramatically...

    They are calling this a deep modernisation... do you think they will keep the Osa system in production so they can keep using an obsolete system on their upgraded cruisers?

    Osa? The small, contained installation that takes up a tiny amount of deck space, and you think it will be replaced by Redut which:
    1.) Has enormous range in comparison
    2.) Takes up vastly more deck space
    3.) Needs an entire Poliment array (like on 22350) to function?
    4.) And I am supposed to believe they will put both R-P AND S-500/400 on it? What the hell is the point of such expensive and heavy redundancy?

    Redut is the naval version of the land based Vityaz as well you know. Rif is the naval version of the S-300 which you also know.

    S-400 and Vityaz and Morfei are all supposed to be compatible with the Redut launchers.

    they wont take Osa out and put Redut in its place any more than they would try to cram the entire Vityaz system on an OSA vehicle.

    Redut will be fitted and it will carry S-400 and S-350 and likely 9M100 missiles or combinations of the above.

    Do you think they will give a Kirov class cruiser a deep upgrade and not fit it with radars with the performance needed to use S-400 or S-500?

    talking of redundancy... why bother with OSA and Kashtan and AK-630 turrets... or Klintok on later models?

    Because when managed properly it makes the defensive system more effective?

    You are comparing apples and oranges here. Redut-Poliment is in no way an Osa replacement.
    Kinzhal was in many ways the Osa replacement, not Redut.

    If 9M100 is compatible with Redut then it is clearly an OSA replacement.

    Osa doesn't even need specific replacement- just standardize on Pantsir-M as the Osa/Ak630 successor.

    they have mentioned two versions of Pantsir... one likely more stealthy for new ships and one not so stealthy for non stealthy ship upgrades... they might use either in this case.

    As for it taking up deck space... We are talking about a Kirov here...

    Most of the other systems on board will be dramatically smaller in volume, which should free up lots of space.

    The UKSK launchers will replace the 20 SS-N-19 Granit launchers, but it will also replace the SS-N-14 launchers near the bow too.

    I can't find anything saying it is equipped with the naval-Tor... It is very hard to find info on the Nakhimov, and most of it is about the Kirov in general...

    Naval TOR is Kinzhal, with the export model being called Klintok... AFAIK only Kirov had OSA, with the other three vessels having Kinzhal (Dagger).

    So how many S-400 super long range missiles Nakhimov will have...  30 ?

    also i was hoping to see S-500 missiles in a kirov.. that will have been nice..

    They have said they want to fit 10 UKSK launchers in the upgraded Kirovs, which means up to 80 anti ship or land attack cruise missiles, but they have not mentioned how many SAMs will be carried.

    the original Kirovs had about 96 Rif-M missiles so it should be able to carry at least that many S-400s.

    I suspect it will also likely have capacity for S-500s as well in unknown numbers.

    If the situation between Russia and the West gets even more worse than now, Russia could decide to eventually modernize 3 Kirovs, even the Typhoons could get back to the Navy as SSGNs.

    yes but some say that these modernizations cost too much that it is preferable the allocated money to be transferred for the construction of new ships and submarines

    I think they decided to scrap the Lazarev & Ushakov

    Hull's not the issue. The problem is with their nuclear reactors, and the obscene cost of replacing/renovating them and the dangers too, something like that.

    99% certainty they are goners. Lazarev might serve as donor vessel for Nakhmiov once it gets transported to the North.

    Russia's been very clear about having less classes, more ships per class.
    There's only 2 operational and 2 in reserve/conservation.

    I think it would be pretty bizarre to scrap the hulls. After all, Russia's lterm plans are SIX new carriers plus the Kuznetsov. So you'd need/use one for each carrier.. atleast. PLus Kirovs can travel around the World independently. One for the Pacific, one for the Middle East, one for the Arctic, one for the Atlantic/anywhere worldwide. MINIMUM. Additionally, one is like to be in refurb at any given time.
    Its certainly not like they wont find them useful. And such ships have immeasuble importance in terms of prestige and difficulty in replacing.

    they might have less ambitious plans... a Kirov for the Northern Fleet and the Pacific fleet and upgraded Slava class vessels for the Med etc.



    Hull's not the issue. The problem is with their nuclear reactors, and the obscene cost of replacing/renovating them and the dangers too, something like that.

    I guess the fact that upgrading two will give them the chance to install and test new technology reactors designed for next gen large ships will give them all the experience they want, while putting them in all four vessels might be redundant and expensive.

    Still they are talking about destroyers in 2020 or later so even if they do upgrade all the kirovs they wont get finished till 2030 or so.

    I rather suspect they will see how upgrades with the first two go... a total upgrade replacing everything should be relatively straight forward and simpler and cheaper in the long run than trying to keep old stuff and integrate it with new... look at the Gorshkov... when they cracked it open they found they had to replace all the wiring and piping... which was an unexpected added cost.

    Once they have upgraded two they might find upgrading two more might be fairly straight forward and well worth the effort.

    So we will have S-300FM (like in Peter the Great) instead of S-300F, and Klub launchers instead of P-700 launchers

    Kalibr, not Klub.

    Keep in mind this isn't an exhaustive list. There are notable gaps in the equipment mentioned- nothing regarding artillery for example (Puma fire control aside).
    So it is early to say what CIWS it will have, might very well be Palash or even Pantsir eventually. Modernized Kortik should be just fine IMO, and if the ship gets modernized Kinzhal there will be close in missile redundancy anyways....

    S-300FM and Podberezovik implies they are trying to avoid a complete superstructure reconstruction that would be needed for Poliment. Hopefully will keep cost from becoming outrageous as well.

    Hmmm, and people on the last page thought it would get Redut-Poliment AND S-400 or even 500. Reality is more muted as always.
