As a general configuration, the ability to embark two Ka-29's size helicopter plus two S-100's size UAV, two RIBs, a 100 mm gun, two Pantsir and one or two RBU-6000s and light torpedo's launch tubes.

Main tasks would be sea lanes control and security, peace time escort (think of the so called Tartus Express) and close range ASW escort of logistic ships in war times.

Displacement 3.000+ tons, integrated diesel-electric propulsion, hull lines aimed to sea keeping capabilities AND silent low speed cruise, ability to run on electric only propulsion for effective ASW's chase, sensor's suite able to integrate with higher echelon's vessels and to receive tactical pictures from them, that's it.

From pics it looks like gun is new edition of 76mm not 57mm as all press releases state. Is it correct?

What is the status and prospects of the program for the construction of patrol ships of project 22160, what is the reason for the slowdown in the pace of their construction and will the sixth building be laid?

Construction of patrol ships of project 22160 began in 2014. The state contract for the delivery of the head patrol ship was signed on April 11, 2014. The laying of the main patrol ship Project 22160 (factory No. 161) Vasily Bykov was held on February 26, 2014 October 9, 2014. The state contract for the supply of five patrol ships was signed.

Project 22160 ships are designed to protect territorial waters, patrol the economic zone in open and closed seas, suppress smuggling and pirating activities, search for and assist victims in marine accidents, environmental monitoring of the environment, protect ships and ships at sea, as well as military - Sea bases and water areas with the purpose of warning of the attack of various enemy forces and assets in wartime.

According to the data of JSC Northern PKB, the ships of project 22160, with a displacement of about 1300 tons, provide a long-term presence in the far sea zone (autonomy is 60 days). The ships have high speed characteristics (maximum speed - up to 30 knots), they are designed taking into account the provision of comfortable conditions for the crew (up to 80 people). To increase the search potential and conduct search and rescue operations on ships, the basing of a 12-ton helicopter is provided. In addition, the ships are equipped with radio-technical and hydro-acoustic weapons, as well as radio-electronic countermeasures. The main power plant of the ships is a CODAG type unit with a total power of up to 25,000 kW.

The ships of this project are built strictly in the terms established by state contracts. Will there be new orders for the ships of project 22160, depends on the leadership of the Navy and the Ministry of Defense of Russia. If there will be a decision to increase the number of orders for the construction of patrol ships, we will build.

The sixth ship will be laid in 2018.
