The cost of the large landing ship (BDK) "Ivan Gren" of the 11711 project for the Russian Navy, built at the Yantar Baltic Shipbuilding Plant OJSC, amounted to 5 billion rubles. The ship’s launch is scheduled for May 18.

Together with the Mistral-type amphibious landing ship-docking ship in France and Russia, the Ivan Gren BDK will form the core of the Navy's amphibious assault forces, the press service of the regional Duma reports.

BDK "Ivan Gren" was laid in the slipway of JSC "PSZ" Yantar "in December 2004 of the year and was planned to become the head in a series of four units. In the process of building the Navy three times changed the technical task for the project, 22 major changes were made to it.

This led to significant delays in construction. Until now, the final technical appearance of the ship has not been determined. The planned bookmark of the first production ship was canceled.

          That's right, when the production is established, then it will be more fun to work. In addition, unlike Mistral, our BDKs can deliver troops directly to the shore without additional landing means.

(who does not agree, let him give examples of what he is good for as an amphibious assault ship) ........ they generally wanted to remake it in armed transport, which it essentially is.

          The Mistral seizes the bridgehead with the landing force with light weapons, and the TDK is developing success by introducing tanks and other heavy weapons into battle - in my opinion, it’s a great spark. What do you think ? And there will be an aircraft carrier. generally shine!

            don’t rejoice very much, this small price is due to scanty salaries, amber is always needed, but there’s no salary, so they don’t come, hence the quality is the same as the salary. Usually they say: If they think they pay us, let them think what we work ...

        In fact, everything is more complicated, these islands are impregnable fortresses, in the depths of which there are a lot of guns that bristle during an assault from the water. Amer broke their teeth there, and without the bombs dropped on Hiroshima from Nagasaki, they would not have won the war. But if Che, then our I’m sure they’ll figure out how to cheat.

          The news is great! But besides the main classes of ships, you need to master the construction and auxiliary vessels. The Americans in San Diego on April 24, General Dynamics NASSCO handed over to the United States Navy the universal supply ship USNS Medgar Evers (T-AKE 13)
          The construction of the USNS Medgar Evers T-AKE class was launched in April 2010. T-AKE class ships incorporate the world's marine technology and design features of commercial vessels, including an integrated electric propulsion system, to minimize the operational costs of each ship, designed for 40 years of operation.
          With a carrying capacity of more than 10000 tons, the main task of T-AKE ships is to deliver food, ammunition, fuel and other equipment from coast stations to warships at sea. Including USNS Medgar Evers, NASSCO transferred thirteen T-AKE class ships to the U.S. Navy (Lewis and Clark ) The fourteenth and final ship of the T-AKE USNS Cesar Chavez class will be baptized and launched on May 5 and handed over to the U.S. Navy in the fourth quarter of 2012. I mean that such ships are needed by the fleet. In addition, the terms of delivery of the ships and their number. ..in short, we have something to strive for.

      Of course, the news made me happy (after so many years of construction already since 2004)

      but only the building was lowered, and completion according to plans near the wall will occur right up to 2014, it is according to plans, and then how it goes

      An example of the Katason frigate launched in 2010 laid in 2006 is still being completed !!!

      such pace of construction is a little depressing to say the least
      This shows that our shipbuilding should be completely modernized !!!!

      example-Mistral for the Russian Navy, with a displacement of 21000 tons will be built in three years - as they say feel the difference

    Large landing ship (BDK). The ship project was developed at the Nevsky Design Bureau (Nevsky Design Bureau, St. Petersburg). The design of the ship began according to the technical specifications of the Russian Navy in 1998. According to the initial plan, it was planned to create a ship with a small displacement capable of navigating inland waterways. This requirement was removed by the Navy at the design stage and the ship moved to the class of large amphibious assault ships (BDK) with a displacement of more than 5000 tons with the possibility of transporting a reinforced company of marine corps with equipment, as well as based on the ship two landing transport helicopters Ka-29 and giving it the ability to land equipment on pontoons transported with it. The terms of reference for the design changed three times, the design was carried out 6 years.

    The lead ship of project 11711 "Ivan Gren" was laid down at the Baltic Shipyard "Yantar" (Kaliningrad) on December 24, 2004. As of 2008, the Russian Navy planned to build five ships of the project. At the beginning of 2012, the construction of the ship of Project 11711 was named among the outstanding orders in 2011 under the state defense order. During the construction of the lead ship of the project, at the request of the Navy, 22 changes were made to the project and to the ship under construction.
    The construction of the large landing complex "Ivan Gren" is underfunded. As of the end of 2011, the hull and superstructures of the ship have been formed, equipment is being saturated, work is proceeding slowly. The installation of the main switchboard is underway, the plant has already received diesel generators, and refrigeration machines will arrive in the near future. The main power plant of the ship - the DRRA3700 diesel geared reversible unit developed by JSC "Zvezda" - is at the stage of experimental development at the manufacturer. In October 2011, after information about the freezing of the construction of the lead ship of the project, officially unconfirmed information appeared that the construction of the large landing ship pr.11711 by the decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy (and, allegedly, at the suggestion of the PSZ "Yantar") will be carried out according to the modified project in as a weapon transport with 4 MTPU machine gun installations. The terms of the ship's readiness for the modified project have not been determined. There is no confirmation or refutation of this information from official sources.

    On February 07, 2012, the Kommersant newspaper, citing a source in the Russian Ministry of Defense, reports that the revised program for the development of weapons until 2020 provides for the construction of 6 ships of the project. The data seems to us very doubtful. On May 14, 2012, information appeared about the completion of the construction of the Ivan Gren large landing craft and the preparation of the ship for launching. On May 18, 2012, the cost of building the ship, according to media reports, was 5 billion rubles.


    Design - loading equipment onto the ship is carried out in two ways: independently by using ramps, or using gantry or deck cargo cranes through a four-wing cargo hatch in the upper deck. These hatches also allow you to ventilate the below deck space, when immediately before the exit the engines of the cars are idling and fill the airborne compartment with exhaust gases. For loading and unloading operations in the area of ​​the cargo hatch, there is a cargo crane with a lifting capacity of 16 t and two boat cranes for working with boats and motor boats (the last three on the ship - two large and one small)

    Propulsion system: 1 х diesel-geared reversible unit DRRA3700 / 10D49 with a capacity of 4000 hp. development of JSC "Zvezda".

    TTX of the ship:
    Crew - 100 pax

    Length - 120 m
    Width - 16,5 m
    Draft - 3,6 m

    Full displacement - 5000-6000 t (estimated)

    Full speed - 18 knots
    Cruising range - 3500 miles (at a speed of 16 knots)
    Autonomy - 30 days

    Payload - located on the tank deck - 13 main tanks weighing up to 60 tons or 36 armored personnel carriers, landing 300 people. or 20 standard 20 foot containers.

    - 2008 - for 4 years only separate sections of the ship were assembled, but the revival of work on the construction of the large landing craft "Ivan Gren" was noted. The delivery of the ship to the Navy is planned for 2012.

    - 2011 June - according to unofficial unconfirmed information, financing for the construction of the project has been discontinued, construction has been frozen. On the second building of the project, metal was prepared.

    - 2011 October - officially unverified information appeared that the construction of the BDK ave. 11711 by decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy will be carried out under an amended project as an arms transport with 4 machine guns MTPU. The deadlines for the ship’s readiness for the amended project have not been determined. From official sources there is no confirmation or refutation of this information.

    - 2012 07 February - the newspaper "Kommersant" with reference to a source in the Ministry of Defense of Russia reports that in the amended program for the development of weapons for 2011-2020. the delivery of 6 units of ships of the project to the Navy is provided.

        In general, who can really explain this ridiculous speed and what is it motivated by? Why are we going to carry services to them? In short, they lowered the galoshes from the performance characteristics of the last century.

          To the minusist - DEDICATED! Our negative is directed not towards the construction of sea vessels (thank God, that there has been a steady stir in military shipbuilding), but there are LEGAL questions of the TAXPAYER about what has already been built and we are able to compare and think with our "pumpkin". .. The SPEED of the approach to the object of the application of force has not yet been canceled (the faster, the later it will be discovered and this will reduce the efficiency of the response). Personally, I see a clear tendency towards the elimination of high-speed delivery vehicles to the coast: "Bison" - garbage, "Bora" - garbage, powerful tiltrotors - garbage ... but this vessel with walking speed is probably just right! Well, the idiots a.mer HSV-X1 apparently finally sucks and a dead-end branch of development (reminds us, we will slowly go down the mountain and take away the whole herd ...). What do you say in response - minuscule?

    Which core is three ships? That is, 1000 people will be able to transport, or if with technology then five hundred people, five tanks and a dozen BMP?
    Dear Author? But is it not enough? This is probably if we are planning to occupy a new Zealand, and even then it’s not enough like that.
    We generally have a downward trend. And society accepts all this at face value. To reduce tanks from 20000 to 2000 is normal, the Army to 1000000 million? Yes, it’s not a question .... Three (well, let four ships already be the basis)? Class. It remains only to read the news like these 5 Armats will become the basis of the armored forces ..... or even not ..... these 2 PAK FAs - This is the basis of the RUSSIAN Air Force.

Machine equipment of plants below the baseboard, only new machines began to appear. So this bunch of problems can only be solved in 2 ways. 1. Equity financing for each project and control over the cost of money. 2. Give 300 000 000 000 a year, then everything except the staff will be decided quickly, and we will deal with the staff, we will learn it ourselves if the academies are now unable to teach.

No, we are not only not on the level, we are behind. Maybe we are a highly professional army? No fighter serves 1 year (in China, 6 years) The United States Army is fully contracted.

          Volkan, the border is of course an important indicator, but, for example, there are not many guards per kilometer to the border with Mongolia or Kazakhstan. The size of the army, in my opinion, is rather determined by threats in the context of the country's demographic capabilities.

          Here you rely on somewhat outdated data - now the Chinese army - 2 with a small million (a further reduction in numbers is planned). Moreover, they are trying to fight with China in numbers - this is an unpromising option for us in advance. Here, the main deterrent is rather nuclear weapons.

          And there’s NATO in total — more than 3 million soldiers on our western border.

          3 million is not at our western border, but the total strength of the armed forces of all countries of the alliance. If you are aware of news on the armies of NATO countries, you should know that their numbers are constantly decreasing (especially after the Finnish crisis). Anyway, an alliance is a rather amorphous structure. Do you think the states will throw a cry and everyone will go to war? No - the most active may send a division. And ordinary members are 100-200 people.

      - other wars smile As large as the Second World War, there will definitely be no more. The sensitivity of social systems to losses sharply increased, the dependence of those in power on the electorate appeared even in autocratic states, the economy became more dependent on infrastructure, etc. All together - in order to sweep away any state or change its ruling elite, a large army is not required. Libya, Serbia and others were routed or wrecked into the Stone Age by very small forces. I didn’t see there tens of thousands of planes or hundreds of thousands of tanks, as it was in WWII, but at the same time a small army should be equipped, as they say, up to the neck, and with the most modern. To break Georgia, it was enough to have several units of the 58th Army, not even the entire 58th Army, but several of its units!

        Well, Aksakal. I think that you are very mistaken. The leadership of the Ministry of Defense is possible too. Why did you get this? Since there is nuclear weapons? So it is still necessary to apply it. This is the first. I give you the simplest example. Conflict with NATO. Their troops cross the border and move to Moscow as always (maybe) will you strike a nuclear strike at YOUR TERRITORY to stop the enemy? Or maybe you will strike a nuclear strike against Paris, Berlin, but what's the point? There are women and children, and their salaries are here at our side and it is easier for us from the fact that Paris will no longer be. The same applies to the Far East. We always fight against defense, protecting our land. A nuclear weapon. This is an attack weapon, and, in principle, has long been no longer a weapon, and some kind of horror story. (at least strategic for sure). So do not entertain yourself with the thought that if we have a strategic nuclear forces, then everything is fine. Remind you of the words of Marshal Zhukov, which he uttered after the creation of nuclear weapons and missile weapons. Any Territory is considered not occupied until the foot of the infantryman steps on it. Not rockets win the war, but a soldier. And the next war will be won by that country in which there are more soldiers and they are better prepared. Well equipment and weapons, respectively. And here so To be mistaken ....... It can end badly

    Long terms - there are some reasons why it turns out that there is no factory fault:
    1. Delays in financing during construction are a very significant circumstance, because the sequence of work is violated and the timing of interrelated operations is delayed.
    2. A new power plant - a diesel engine is being developed and developed at a time when, in good condition, it should already have proven operational characteristics. Again at the allied enterprise.
    3. Design time - 6 years. It's pretty decent. It can be seen that the work did not go on constantly, but "swoops".
    4. The most important thing is to change the technical specifications for the product. This is generally out! The requirements and views of the MO should not be a weather vane that changes depending on the change of curators. Having a clear idea of ​​what you need is an indicator of the "maturity" of the strategy.
    So in this situation, developers and shipbuilders can only sympathize and hope that the Defense Ministry and defense leaders will learn from such long-term construction projects.
    P.S. Now it is clear why Putin decided to acquire the technology for building the Mistral? request
