MEASURING COMPLEX SHIP "MARSHAL KRYLOV" WILL BE DEEP MODERNIZATION

New Russian drone-carrying corvette advances to keel-laying



MOSCOW, October 15. /TASS/. Ship designers are advancing the blueprint for a new-generation, multi-purpose warship to join Russia’s navy.

Features of the planned corvette are still under wraps but the vessel is thought likely to carry a helicopter-type Gorizont drone within its armoury.

Planners at Russia’s Central Marine Engineering Design Bureau Almaz and United Shipbuilding Corporation expect the keel to be laid next year, possibly at St. Petersburg’s Severny shipyard though it is still unconfirmed.

“As technical design is in progress I will not reveal the features of this new vessel but it is a multi-purpose warship and an essentially new project,” Igor Zakharov, Almaz deputy general designer, told TASS.

Multiple tasks will be built into its design specification, he added, noting that the issue of stationing a drone on board “is advancing not as quickly as we want it to.

That new corvette is the Project 20386. A newer version of the Steregushy (20380) and Gremyashy (20385).
Interesting. Hopefully we will see a mock-up or a picture soon.

Yeah, AFAIK there is no information on it floating around.

Info on the new Project 20386 corvette (Russian).

Zakharov said that prospective corvette will have a constant, basic weapons and combat removable modules that will extend the range of problems solved by the ship. The designers are also interested in the appearance on the corvette drone, "but with this issue all the moves are not as fast as we would like," admitted deputy designer general "Almaz". He said that the problem is related to the introduction of drones into general airspace of Russia and associated regulatory issues of aviation security.

Developer: Tarka modernized "Admiral Nakhimov" will be more powerful, "Peter the Great"

So only 2 ships of Peter the Great Class will be upgraded ? What happens to the remaining 2 which are inactive ?

After upgrade 30-40 years of life is good and impressive , similar to Gorshkov class

Nice ships ...

Three "Raptor" to "Pelle"

and something interesting ....

Yes, a few people can reply to your query. They include Sergey Shoigu, Dimitri Rogozin, Admiral Chirkov and a few others.
But I doubt they will

So you mean only 2 cruiser will be updated ? The remaining 2 will be mothballed would be a pity if these upgrade gives them atleast 30 years of life its worth every penny.

Plans can change. The most important things is that Russia will not scrap remaining two and that says a lot.

If I had to guess I would say about 1 bin $ but I really dont know.

Sounds Good here

Sounds nice.

Very, and twelve is a whole lot more than I expected... Those plus the Gorshkovs/other-frigates and new submarine fleet, and the Russian Navy is looking a whole lot more powerful! Plus, the first model arriving in a decade isn't as bad as I thought it would be...

The most interesting part? - Nuclear *and* conventional variants, I wonder if that will really pan out.

Burevestnik is the manufacturer of various weapons system.
Among them is the new A-220M naval gun of 57 mm featured in the below video (from 4:50 onwards). They claim the rate of fire is 300 per minute with a range of 16 km.

300? Is that right? That is considerably more than the Bofors 57 mm model, not bad, not bad at all!

16km is pretty impressive too.
At 5 minutes 30 seconds it fires at a fast rate for such a large calibre...

So, I found out this gun will fire the same round as the S-60...

The A-220 (single barrel) is capable of firing 111 pounds of explosive down range every minute, assuming it fires the UOP-281 round.

Obviously, that means the double-barrel version will be able to lob 222 pounds of explosive a minute, not bad considering it can reach out to 16 km!

I don't think it will be reaching out to anything like 16km. That is 76mm gun territory.

12 km is more likely, but the 57 mm Bofors can "effectively" reach out to 17 km and that fires a much heavier round. Even though it will use more propellant, I'd be willing to be that it still cannot fire as far within consistent range.
