Launch of the head patrol ship of the 22160 project postponed to June
According to the information of the Internet portal Flotpromsource at the Zelenodolsk plant them. Gorky reported on the adjustment of the launch of the head patrol 22160 project ship almost three months. It is now expected to take place at the end of June.
The withdrawal of the leading ship "Vasily Bykov" from the boathouse is supposed to be 15-16 June 2017, launching at the end of the month.
- explained the source.
According to him, the timing of the transfer of the Navy's first production ship, the Dmitry Rogachev, will not change much.
22 September 2016, plant general director Renat Mistakhov announced that the ship launching Vasily Bykov will be held in March 2017, the transfer to the fleet before the end of the year. 20 May 2017, he explained that the first two ships of the project 22160 - "Vasily Bykov" and "Dmitry Rogachev" - are awaiting delivery only at the beginning and end of 2018, respectively.
"Vasily Bykov" was laid 26 February 2014 of the year. The first six ships of the series are supposed to be transferred to the Black Sea Fleet before the 2020 year. In service they will receive, among other things, cruise missiles "Caliber".
- said the expert of the "Independent Military Review" in the field of the Navy, Vladimir Shcherbakov.
In his opinion, the development of the modular layout of the project made it possible to apply it on corvettes of the type “Perfect”. At the same time, he pointed out some redundancy for the fleet of Bykov type ships in the presence of the 22800 Karakurt MRC.
A bit later, the fleet and the head MRK of the 22800 project will be transferred: instead of December 2017, the “Hurricane” will be transferred in the first half of 2018.
The patrol ships (corvettes) of the 22160 project were developed by the Northern Design Bureau. The ships are designed to protect and guard the maritime economic zone, they can also perform search and rescue functions, escort ship caravans and fight pirates. When the displacement 1300 tons develop speed to 30 nodes. Sailing range - 6 thousands of miles, autonomy - 60 day. They are designed to ensure comfortable conditions for the crew (up to 80 people). On board can be based helicopter Ka-27PS. As standard weapons, corvettes are equipped with Caliber cruise missile launchers, a new 76,2-mm artillery, an anti-aircraft missile system and machine guns.

Then - the docking chamber, mooring trials, driving, and the delivery of the ship the fleet, it turns out, leaves for the next year.

We generally rarely rent military equipment on time. And the ship will be more complicated aviation or land equipment. Moreover, the lead ship surrenders with much greater difficulties than serial projects - especially when there is a lot of new weapons and radio electronics.

The ships of the type "Karakurt" are the heirs of the "Buyana-M" with the best seaworthiness. Do not forget that the "Buyans" were originally created for the Caspian Sea. In addition, these small ships are capable of solving problems of almost strategic importance. More modern "Karakurt" largely eliminate the drawbacks of the "Buyans". You can bet the fleet needs an 22160 project. Initially, it was created as a patrol ship for border guards, and already at its base the fleet ordered what it turns out. We need ships of this class. But whether we need two similar types, projects 22800 and 22160, is the question. There are no such questions for "Karakurt".
