Projection of force in the ocean

Can't read russian but seems the news is about the RUssian Frigate Gorshov class..  Not the destroyer. :/

They are talking about 'Leader' project, which will be a destroyer.

Details still up in the air as the Navy is deciding what it wants. Upscaled Gorshkov or 13,000 ton nuclear cruiser.

Russian Navy to Begin Sea Trials of 2 New Nuclear Subs in Summer

MOSCOW, April 14 (RIA Novosti) – Two new Russian nuclear-powered submarines will begin sea trials this summer, the country’s northern Sevmash shipyard said Monday.

Upon completion of the trials, the two boats – the Borei-class Vladimir Monomakh nuclear missile submarine and the Yasen-class Severodvinsk attack submarine – will be the newest addition to Russia’s sub fleet.

“Once navigation at sea opens this summer, the Vladimir Monomakh and Severodvinsk submarines will begin tests. Operations on all Sevmash nuclear submarines are run under the control of the leadership of the Russian Navy,” the company said in a statement.

Admiral Vladimir Korolev, the commander of the Northern Fleet, said Sunday the Vladimir Monomakh will enter into service later this year and will conduct a test launch of the navy’s new Bulava nuclear-capable ballistic missile before becoming fully operational.

Sevmash also said that hull work on the Yasen-class Novosibirsk submarine has been completed, and the boat will now undergo hydraulic testing, adding that the next Borei-class submarine, the Knyaz Vladimir, has completed such testing and is currently preparing to take on large equipment.

The Russian Navy is expected to receive 40 new warships and auxiliary vessels this year, including a variety of surface ships of various classes in addition to the nuclear submarines. The Russian Defense Ministry is currently carrying out a massive rearmament for the navy and air force as part of a series of modernization efforts

Russian Navy to double the order for modular corvettes

Still not sold on how modular the end product will be. The other question is why does Russia need a dozen high endurance, not main combat ships like this...

Zelenodolsk is set for the rest of the decade, between this, the 21631s and the Vietnamese frigates.
Hopefully they start making ships faster as a result.

"Saturn" will provide the Russian ships engines

bad call. 50% increase in frigate numbers would have been better.

You know the costs would also have been, much much higher too right?

Apples and oranges.

whoa nice   

BTW will Kuznetsov got hmm some sort of new phased array to replace the Mars-Passat ?

As far as i read Russian AN/SPY-1 like radar the Mars-Passat was about to be installed at Kuznetsov but due to some unknown factor it's cancelled and i heard the place for the antenna array was filled with cement instead.

It did not work at the time, and in the 90s nobody had time or money to make it work. Nonfunctional today.

If they do intent to go through with the heavy overhaul, I would be pretty shocked if they did not put at the very least Poliment in the tower.

Looks awful similar to those Soviet-era cruiser projects, photos of which floated around the web sometime ago.

I suspect this has nothing to do with "Leader".

Doesn't look very Soviet era though. It may very well have nothing to do with Leader, though.

Agree, probably it is not something related to Leander project.
It may be a modified 22350.
Actually I believe the one on its right side is a modified 11356 frigate judging by the layout of the structure.

Submarine project "Ash" able to hit targets on the ground at a distance of almost 1.5 thousand kilometers from the coast. class submarines "Northwind" designed to CDB Marine Engineering "Rubin" in St. Petersburg. In their construction applied advancements improve hydrodynamics body and significantly reduce noise. The main armament of warships - the new missile "Bulava".

Some great photos of the Archangelsk and Severstal sitting in reserve.
Gotta say, just from these photos, they look like they are being preserved quite well.
