"Vasily Bykov" is launched

On the eve, the lead patrol boat (ship) project 22160 "Vasily Bykov" (serial number 161) was launched. The ship was moved to the filling chamber of the Zelenodolsk plant named after AM Gorky. Recall that from the factory slipway it was withdrawn in June 2017 of the year. Photos of the patrol boat "Vasily Bykov" in the loading chamber of the Zelenodolsk shipbuilding enterprise are presented on the page "Military informant" of the social network In contact with.

The lead patrol ship of this project is being built in the Republic of Tatarstan for the Russian Navy under a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. The contract was concluded in April 2014. It is important to note that the laying of the patrol ship in Zelenodolsk took place two months before the official signing of the contract.

The ships of the 22160 project are created according to the design development of the OJSC “Severnoye Design Bureau”, located in St. Petersburg.

Patrol ships can carry onboard a formidable strike armament, represented by Caliber-NK cruise missiles. In addition, the ships of the project 22160 equipped with artillery, anti-submarine and other rocket (not counting the "Caliber") weapons.
In addition, a helicopter may be placed on board the Vasily Bykov (for example, Ka-27).

As seen in the photo, the ship has already received radar equipment.

At the moment, more 4's of such patrol ships are under construction: Dmitry Rogachev, Pavel Derzhavin, Sergey Kotov, and Victor the Great.

The potential of pr 22160 is great, and what was the main task 4-6 years ago is now no longer interesting at all (catching pirates), but in air defense and percussion options. and at the same time, without abandoning the plane, this is a gorgeous ship

Why do old people need to be driven out of service from time to time when the participants in the Shipka assault are used to shooting When the striking power really corresponds to the cruiser, then it doesn’t even fit in the head of the senile. When positioning is provided by a deployed satellite constellation, when it is not necessary to approach the enemy for thousands of kilometers, and the Kyrgyz Republic will deliver the hotel faster and on time. Scientific and technological progress says that large dimensions are not proportional to quality, although there is still a dependency. Now the submarine missile carrier does not need to break into the Atlantic at the launch range of the BR, there is no need to go through the bottlenecks of Iceland in the form of SOSUS, a lot of which was not necessary, because the range of the submarine’s BR allowed to hit anywhere in the territory of the overseas enemy from the berth. The tactics of using these devices have fundamentally changed. This happened back in Soviet times. What is worse than surface ships? Why should their logistics remain unchanged if the strike weapons change? Call it brain stagnation

He has no calibers in the database. Most likely never will be. For he has a more interesting task. Participation in humanitarian operations, patrolling of a distant zone, prolonged stay in the required area, etc. In fact, what the 1 class BNKs are doing now, knocking out their limited resources, in the future they will be making such cheap boats with a large resource and excellent conditions for the team.

Navy orders the most homeless kit.
Of the benefits:
- budgeting.
- A large supply of fuel for the helicopter in the base.
- high level of comfort (equipped with cubicles, gym, relaxation area). This is important on long hikes.
- A good composition of weapons and detection equipment.
- 2 functional slots for the 40 container.

Of the minuses:
- the absence of even Bending. Only MANPADS from the shoulder. Well, this is a problem in the whole of light complexes of air defense systems. There where Europeans or Americans will stick RAM, and the Chinese will simply order nothing for their Navy HHQ-10.
- savings on matches, there are ordinary and cheap MTPU. At the same time, the ship, according to its purpose, will patrol areas with problematic areas of navigation (pirates, smugglers, etc.). That is, this is an increased risk for calculating and lower firing efficiency of the main (for this ship in real use) caliber. At the same time, when there are already effective remote stabilized turrets. They cost more, but taking into account the total costs - these are just boxes of matches ...
- Problems with S-100 and failure of alternative projects. In fact, the first years of 5 will run without half of the full-time air group.

He has a place under the 2X40 container. There may be Gauges or X-35 in container design. But there may be prison modules for example. The hospital. Deep sea equipment. Or just the different things you need on the way to lead to which Tartus. Humanitarian aid to the affected area.

That is, these are multifunctional slots. And if he goes on a pirate shift or on 50 the daily patrol of a given area in order to catch the violators, then it is doubtful that the caliber will be lucky, and not the bullpen.

Very significant and reasoned, and most importantly in accordance with common sense comments. To put in different exits of the ship either calibers or a hospital, this will NEVER from the word ABSOLUTELY (for this is a complete madhouse) Rather, there will be a certain universality depending on the type of weapon.

[donavi49]

Why build this ship - if at the same plant you can build an RTO, which is suddenly cheaper. And it’s significant. And has UKS-8. And UKKS-8 is better, more convenient and has greater operational readiness than a container. I am already silent about the fact that, for example, 2 Bending + Duet is better for RTOs - than a sailor with MANPADS and AK-176.

The feature of this ship is:
- autonomy of BNK 1 rank.
- huge (for such a ship, for example, the 20380 - 1 corvette refueling Ka-27) - the fuel supply for the helicopter.
- a high designated and overhaul resource (though with a ship 4-5 it will be in question for import substitution).


About functional containers:
- The bullpen container is already there.
- There is also a container with a pressure chamber. Moreover, RBC-1400 is currently being actively purchased by the Navy. RBC-2200 - is currently preparing for procurement in the interests of GUGI.
- various other functional containers are either in work or in layouts.

Why specifically does this ship have an 2x40 container with Caliber - in such a task as the patrol of the Gulf of Aden?

- aft 2x40f container.

Quote: hrych

Let's not fantasize, in it the Caliber is primary, under it actually 22160 and is created

The ship on which the "caliber" is primary is 21631 or 22800. On which already in the basic version there is a fixed "main caliber" in the form of UVP 3S14. And l / s which is trained to apply the CD.
If on 22160 the “caliber” were primary, the standard 3C14 would stand on it. And not an empty place on which maybe deliver container PU. Or maybe they won’t.
In the meantime, for 22160 primary range, seaworthiness and a helicopter.
In general, looking at the list of declared tasks 22160 gives the impression that the ship was in the wrong department. For the most part there are tasks related to the conduct of the BOHR PV FSB.

[hrych]

Quote: Alexey RA

If on 22160 the “caliber” were primary, the standard 3C14 would stand on it.

Who told you that you need to focus on UVP? The worse the submarine’s TA, the worse the lifting mechanism that rises to a vertical position? I tell you once again that modern weapons are modular. UVP limits the use of devices. Scheme 22160, makes it possible to use Onyx, and analogues of Aegis, and in general BR, like Iskander ... Who said that it is impossible. Therefore, there are no restrictions on UVP, but one feature is Caliber - the main tool of our fleet, the most versatile, most long-range, etc. The dignity of subsonic RC in the form of range and envelope relief, the dignity of a supersonic in the final section, etc., etc. competitor - Tomahawk was not lying nearby with his capabilities. Therefore, 22160 is undoubtedly a Caliber, but maybe everything else, including the BR, the promising Zircon, may be even more surprising than our engineers ... And the worse is the corvette of a lousy automobile tractor, which allows universality ....

[Alexey RA]

Quote: hrych

Who told you that you need to focus on UVP? The worse the submarine's TA, the worse the lifting mechanism that rises to the vertical position?

Indeed, the worse the lifting mechanism that rises to a vertical position? Raising a 4-ht glass on a roll from horizontal to vertical is easier than steamed turnip. And to do this under icing conditions ... which, incidentally, is greatly facilitated by the location of the container modules.

Quote: hrych

I tell you once again that modern weapons are modular. UVP limits the use of devices.

In the same way, modularity limits the use of devices. For in the modular system, as in the UVP, only devices get into their standard installation places on their MHX.
And how is modularity we limits the use of devices if all new naval devices are geared specifically for UVP?
The main problem of modular systems is team preparation. Either you need to keep shift teams for each module ashore, or prepare super universals who will still be inferior to narrow professionals simply because of the limited time for training in each of the specialties.

[hrych]

Do not complicate it, Yars weighs much more and nothing in winter that rises in summer without any problems. There it closes the hatch from the atmosphere, shakes it no less in the UVP, it’s up to you to lift it vertically, but it does not swing separately, but swing along with the ship ...

It is not forbidden to have a replaceable appropriate command. However, how many specialists does the mobile Iskander serve? The same is for a downloadable device on a ship. This is just a few people, here, after all, users, they download the flight task, everything is unified and standard. A pilot carrying bombs on his belly, air-to-air, air-to-surface, air-to-surface missiles, in general, can handle one and nothing. And here you are complicating for some reason. Motorists know their business, deck their own, with the captain, and so everything is clear, radio operators and locators. Yes, there isn’t a nomenclature there either, to know the difference in the use of two or three missiles. Target designation is now largely external, got the coordinates and go.

On a flat fixed platform. And not at sea on a pitching, and on a boat with a displacement of 1,5 ct. And not in an icy state.

There the hatch closes from the atmosphere there, it shakes and at least in UVP

UVP does not need to be raised. She is already lifted and fixed stationary. She needs to lift only a much lighter and less overall hatch.

Quote: hrych

it’s business to lift it vertically, but it does not swing separately, but swing along with the ship ...

This rigidly fixed UVP swings with the ship. And the lifted glass does not swing by itself - it is pumped by the ship through the mechanics (axles, bearings, etc.) and the drive of the lifting system. And on pitching, all this electromechanics or hydraulics suffers from strong alternating dynamic loads, in all possible azimuths (just as the wave came) from a 4-ton 9-meter cup fixed at three points (2 points below the frame along the rotation axis and one point on frame - in the place of attachment of the lifting device).

[hrych]

A continuous storm and a storm are visible here. Listen to you, so planes cannot be used because the weather is completely non-flying, the ships are under a storm, etc. The weather is so arranged, if it’s not the roaring forties, that a storm is an exception, it happens several times a year and then for a day or two, the main weather is normal, where the merchant fleet goes, and fishing vessels do fishing, and even on yachts go oligarchs and smaller troughs, including sailing and quite coping, wennings sunbathe and drink cocktails, smelling white powder, and here the hundred-meter ship is denied normal operation

There are engineers, their task is to solve technical problems that arise during operation. There are bench tests, modeling of arising loads, on units and assemblies. There are no complaints against our engineers, our weapons are reliable, easy to use and ergonomic. And not long left, the ship is already on the water, in a few months we will probably see launches. All the questions you raised have been resolved if the scheme was approved or would have been abandoned.

22160 with a displacement of 1300 tons is definitely not a boat. A ship is written on the board. See the Navy Ship and Ship Classification Guide. A boat is a ship of rank 4, that is, a displacement of up to 500 tons. All that is larger is a rank 3 ship.

Well, the border guards also need to build something ... there is just a persistent feeling that our Moscow Region played a lot in strengthening the coastal zone, hammering the shipyards with the construction of an interregional missile system, and a motley one. But then, someone will have to repair this entire zoo, while the cat burst into tears of unification in all these RTOs. That is, this is the same story as with tanks ... they have already gained 4 MBTs and are sitting there, rejoicing. And the mechanics from such a variety of kapets are fun.

[donavi49]

Well, look - Chabanenko, ran back for several years in the role of a gag in every crisis and need. And that’s all. He is in line for repairs which year. And he is getting closer to 20. And this is one of the most powerful and fresh NNK 1 rank in the Navy.

Shaposhnikov - similarly. The year 15 began, by contract, until the end of 18. Given the traditional understatement, it’s really 19, maybe even 20 because there is modernization with Uranus.

Undaunted - died on the Aden shift. Still repairing.

Wise - only recovered after the Aden shift.

Here, in order not to knock out the BNK resource on similar tasks that are always relevant +/-. And ordered such ships.

[DarkMatter]

And it gets closer to the 20th

Here the other day they wrote (I do not know the truth or not) that Chabanenko decided not to repair, but to modernize. That is, for 3 years he just stood there and will be released in 2022, if this is all according to the schedule ...

The functions of a "patrol" can be performed by any warship.

Deaf, may he not hear, blind may not see.
They write to you, but you pretend that you do not notice.
You need to patrol the Gulf of Aden.
- the border guards are out of business
- you can send only by autonomy a first-class ship distracting it from more serious tasks and consuming a resource
- the crew of such a ship will smoke bamboo because such a bunch of people are not needed to catch pirates
- but it’s also not clear where to put the pirates caught
etc. etc.
I’m not saying that there are 3-4 such boats somewhere near the AUG in the Mediterranean and it is completely incomprehensible, they have humanitarian aid in containers, roofing felts of 30 calibers.

[Zibelew]

Quote: rudolff

So this ship is purely for catching pirates and especially in Aden?

For this, he was built. We are building corvettes for 8 years, they are tritely lacking. Those who write that weapons do not sufficiently represent only one hypothetical situation - the battle of a single patrol ship of project 22160 with ships or NATO aircraft, and necessarily with the AUG.

[Zibelew]

This colonial gunboat will carry out patrol and representative functions. For example, instead of "Shrewd" at the international forum "Russian Week on the Ionian Islands." To spy on the teachings of our "likely friends" and keep the Navy horses in check. Comfortable and with a good range. Hang out in the middle of the earth, "that was."

[g1v2]

No need to juggle. The ships of this project will definitely be the most popular after delivery and run on as much as others have never dreamed of. And most importantly - thanks to them, more valuable ships like the BPC or frigates will be much less likely to go for repair and will last longer. Tk they will no longer be driven horseradish knows where, knocking out a resource. This is donavia and tried to explain to you.

[bk316]

This is donavia and tried to explain to you

Yes, in my opinion, everyone already understood, except for rudolff, that is, of course, he understood everything right away, but I really want to RK, in extreme cases, the destroyer ....
And for me, if you swing it, then VERY NEED the global satellite system of target designation and guidance, but money is really not a pity on this.

[g1v2]

Conventional corvettes are made for the near sea zone. An ordinary corvette can not perform any tasks in fact for which this patrol is intended. If we take the 2038x series, then these are generally mobile coastal defense units. They have an autonomy of 15-20 days. They do not need more. How can they replace the ship, designed for 60 days of autonomy? And if you shove everything you want into it, it will not be a corvette for 1500 tons, but at least a frigate 3 times more.
Each ship has its own purpose. You Halibut will not send mattress strategists to fall? And send apl. Although both seem to be multi-purpose submarines. So here - each type of ship has its own tasks.

[Alexey RA]

Quote: rudolff

I suggest not sending frigates anywhere, but doing normal corvettes

So 22160 - this is just the usual corvette according to current world standards.
And what we consider to be a “normal corvette” is a mini-frigate or a top percussion version of the corvette.

[andy.v.lee]

Double feeling.
It is joyful that at least something (in comparison with the USA and Shushlaytsy) is under construction.
It is sad that the multiplicity of types is not good. "Classmates": "Karakurt", "Cheetahs", 20380/5/6, "Buyan-M". Although there is some plus in this - I think that the multiplicity of types will ultimately give the "ideal" type for the corvette of the near sea zone with modularity in missile weapons and unification in artillery / helicopter / air defense, radar and other weapons. The downside is also the time. "It was necessary yesterday."

With 22800 and 21631 everything is clear. At first they wanted to do low blood, mighty blow - and made from an artillery boat for rivers and inland seas (21630) MRK (21631). But a miracle did not happen - the boat turned out to be toothy, but he had problems with seaworthiness. I had to do a normal seaworthy RTO (22800).

The second pair - 11661 and 20380. They are not classmates of RTOs - at least some sort of air defense and anti-aircraft defense appear on them.
PMSM, 11661 destroyed GTU. The diesel 20380 turned out to be more attractive for the fleet. So there were 11661 in a single copy.

[andy.v.lee]

Yes, it's all clear. Quantity is the problem! Pacific Fleet, I would say - a bunch of dissimilar formations today, and not the fleet - "naked"! SF - also "not armor". The series is still needed yesterday. Yawing with multi-type is one of the reasons for the lack of doctrine at sea in the Russian Federation in general! But in fact - patching holes in that holey suit. About "classmates" - I deliberately put in quotation marks. Isn’t it easier to make one hull with modularity (for Shushlays it was reached in 056 and continues to improve, more than 50 hulls to be built) that could accommodate everything (for all fleets, the Caspian does not think so)?

Well done boys! The country needs ships, boats, tanks, planes, space ......! Work brothers!

Sad of course, like that, but still better than nothing at all.

Rather than spending money on this useless trough, armed with only 1 small-caliber cannon, it would be better to build a project 11541 rocket frigate, there is no Corsair rocket at Bykov, for its re-equipment with Caliber rockets, it will need to be rebuilt at a ship repair plant, with dismantling more parts of fuel tanks.

To start the performance characteristics of "Bykova" look, then rebuild on the shipyard under the Gauges.

So look at the performance characteristics, just look better ... All armament is a 57 mm cannon, for the installation of other things, a serious alteration of the ship is required, which in case of war or armed conflict, the enemy simply will not give time ... You did not think about why such a small ship has such a great range ?! But because they found a place to install additional fuel tanks due to the abandonment of serious weapons ... There are no missiles, Caliber, there are no air defense systems, no PLO ... This is a boat to scare the raven and poachers ...

[estidea]

why is the name "Vasily Bykov"? Is it a Belarusian Soviet writer? Or a man somehow connected with the fleet?

Zibelew,
“Colonial gunboat” is the ideal definition for this “product”.
