The frigate Admiral Gorshkov is being prepared for testing the hypersonic Zircon

The lead frigate of project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov, aimed at scheduled maintenance, in addition to routine maintenance, will load the Zircon hypersonic missile for the next test firing. This was reported by TASS with reference to a source in the military-industrial complex.

According to the source, the frigate went to the Belomorsk base, where scheduled maintenance and loading of Zircon will be carried out. After the completion of work, the ship will go to the sea ranges of the North fleet in the White Sea, where the next launch of a hypersonic missile will be carried out. The exact date of the test is not reported, preliminary plans - April - May.

The frigate Admiral Gorshkov went to the White Sea Naval Base to carry out a number of routine maintenance, as well as loading the Zircon missile into the launcher. The second test firing hypersonic missile will be performed from the ship in April - May

- the agency leads the words of the source.

Recall that the first tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile from the surface ship became known at the end of February this year, when news agencies reported the launch of Zircon from the frigate Admiral Gorshkov at one of the Northern Fleet’s naval ranges in the Barents Sea. It was reported that a rocket launched from a ship overcame more than 500 km and hit a target located on the shore. It was clarified that the first launch was carried out in January.

"Admiral Gorshkov" is the lead frigate of project 22350. It is intended for combat operations in the far and near sea zones, as well as for participation in solving problems in the ocean zone. The ship's displacement is about 4500 tons, the longest is about 130 m, the largest is more than 16 m. Cruising range - more than 4000 miles, seaworthiness - without restrictions.

Built at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg, became part of the Northern Fleet in July 2018.

Armament: 130-mm A-192 artillery mount, Redut anti-aircraft missile system, UKSK 3S14 universal launcher for 16 Caliber or Onyx anti-ship missiles, Paket-NK anti-submarine system, Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter.

Zircon is already flying! Well, it remains carriers to build and build.

[1976AG]

And complete the tests of Zircon itself.

[parkello]

he has been flying for a long time, but the point was that he could be controlled at the speed that he is developing. and even old ships can become carriers, provided that they install the appropriate equipment for target designation and missile control.

And, of course, the corresponding ASBU and other shooting crap.

Turn on your brains, my dear!
Then you will be able (although hardly) to distinguish by the text "equipment for target designation and missile control" (PUS, BIUS, KASUB)) from the universal ship launch complex (UKSK), which is on old ships (956, 1135, 1164, 1144), capable of carrying 3M22 was never born.
And the second. Baby, don't be ham to strangers uncles. It is uncultured and unhealthy.
AHA.

Are you actually sane and at least a little prone to common sense? Or like V.S. Vysotsky:

I wonder if there will be an export version of the frigate (for example, for Vietnam or India) with the Zircon?

In general, do not care, except for a sufficient number of "Zircons" in the Russian Navy. I will share with you my view on the sale of the latest weapons abroad.
The receipt of currency precisely from the sale of the latest weapons produced in the country does not matter for the production of Russian weapons from Russian components and components, the price of which is determined in rubles. And the victors in battles and wars were not only strong-willed warriors, but also warriors, whose weapons were better than the enemy ...
So we were brought up. So we were taught. Therefore, the VD countries armed with the best examples of Soviet weapons, which, as time has shown, have surrendered all military secrets and developments with a “clear conscience” to our potential opponents ...

[knn54]

Yuri Vasilyevich, let's not remember the VD countries, but just count how many S-400s, Su-35s were sold abroad, and how many arrived in the RF Armed Forces. And they didn’t find a replacement for the papers with portraits of American presidents. And as far as import substitution is concerned, the picture doesn’t so rosy as we are painted.

========
Oooh, how "everything is running" ..... It looks like you have Yuri Vasilyevich "not very well" with the economy and finances ..... I'll try to explain:
1. Pricing problem... When delivering to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the price is based on the cost of production, while for export supplies, the price is formed on the basis of the cost of the closest foreign analogues. And since the largest exporters of weapons (except for the Russian Federation) are the United States, the European Union, Israel and China, it is clear that the western counterparts of Russian equipment are MUCH EXPENSIVE than their Russian counterparts. This means that the products of the Russian military-industrial complex can be exported with a much higher rate of profit ("price markups"). And this means that for the needs of its own MO, a manufacturer with export contracts can supply much CHEAPER - up to the "cost" or even at a loss (he will still "beat off" the profit on the development of production on export supplies. you can buy the same money for yourself - MORE!
2. The problem of mass production. It is a well-known fact - the larger the series, the lower the unit cost of production (fixed costs - are transferred (divided) to a larger number of units produced) ....
Do you think the Yankees are "in vain" newest F-35 to everyone who can? If not for this - the price of this machine would have been "unmanageable" even for the insane American budget!
PS I ask you not to be offended, just such naive reasoning annoys me a little (although this is bad!).
PPS About ATS countries. Everything seems to be true ... But you don’t take into account how MUCH really serious secrets "flowed away" in the dashing 90s from the "fraternal union republics", and from Russia - also! Then I watched as I could for all this "bacchanalia" and "the hair stood on end!" Yes, for this - not only under Stalin, but also under Brezhnev, they were shot !!!

Stocks of supersonic Onyxes will be sold to all sorts of different Indies, Vietnamese and Algerians as the hypersonic Zircons are supplied to the RF Armed Forces.

Success in testing !!!

What to cook it for? Drive to the Black Sea and wait until the foreign “target” itself arrives, will go further and ...

So far .. yes .. But in the same place, in the SMP, the modernization of "Nakhimov" is being completed, where the Granite tanks have been replaced by 3M14 .. the number is too lazy to specify, but these are several dozen missiles .. Just before the start of the tests of the cruiser "Zircon" will be ready ...

[Sky strike fighter]

Zircon can be launched from different platforms.

Alexei Leonkov in an interview with 360 explained that for Zircon there is no difference which platform to launch from. The main thing is target designation: if it is accurate, then the rocket will fly accordingly.

It makes no difference [where to place]. This is a platform system, that is, it can be on air carriers, marine (surface, underwater execution) and ground-based coastal defense complexes

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

It turned out to be a good frigate, but missile weapons are not enough. For a long hike, both anti-submarine torpedoes and anti-ship and anti-ship missiles capable of hitting ground targets will be needed in the ammunition and they need a lot to have an effect.

Here 32 PUs would be great, I did not ship, but there seems to be a place next to the existing 16 PUs. In order not to do that ?!

And for the distant sea zone all the same, Project 22350M is needed under 7000-8000 displacement.

In general, this is already obvious to everyone and it seems that we are moving in that direction, which cannot but rejoice.

1. For 4,5 Kt the number of "trunks" is quite adequate, since in addition to weapons, you also need a "living space" for the crew. There are no lumiks there anyway, and if everyone is made "herrings in a barrel" - do not expect good: our people are strong, but not iron.
2. At 22350M with a displacement of 7-7,5 Kt there will be (according to various sources) about 24-48 cells. But these will already be "universal" ships. (on the ship boarding boards of new buildings they are already stuffing the "MULTI-PURPOSE" project ship ...)
3. Everything rests on the weight and dimensions of the weapon. We can "shrink" - there will be more space for the beaters. Science and industry do not stand still. Therefore, there is confidence that the weapon will be improved further, up to the "mega-super-duper" that has no analogues !!!

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

24 cells seem to promise already on subsequent frigates pr.22350.

In the short term, unlikely. In addition, the meaning of conducting test launches from a warship is not entirely clear. For this, there have always been experimental ships (submarines), from which test launches were carried out. After all, the launch of the Zircon from the Gorshkov was the first from a surface ship. And if it happened (God forbid), something would have suffered in the first place a warship.

So far, this was the first launch from a surface ship. First, you need to work out the entire test program, both with the NK and the submarine, and then only say that the Zircon is flying.

Your fears are understandable ... But there are at least 2 reasons why we chose the path "from a battleship":
1. The desire to save money on the testing base. There are examples - the R-30 immediately began to shoot from the carrier, without bothering with the underwater test bench.
2. Start 3M22 "mortar". The PAD throws the product 25-30 m upwards, the powder engines deploy it along the firing bearing by the time the marshaler is launched. And here there may be a semi-ballistic trajectory (at least a high B-14), we do not know this for obvious reasons.
3. TIME !!! Which is just barely enough. The states need TODAY to "wipe their nose" with a swab with ammonia, so that bad thoughts (at least for a while!) From the birdhouse of the hawks disappeared.
Yes, of course there is a risk ...
Even at the stand in Nenox on 8.08.2019/8/XNUMX, a disaster occurred that claimed the lives of XNUMX scientists at the Nobilevka laureate level. And what is there to deny - they take risks!
But we will keep our fists clenched, hoping for a happy test result and the speedy adoption of this weapon of the 21st century by the Navy.
IMHO.

[3danimal]

I want cheap and so lucky not to stumble. Statistics against this approach.

[Ros 56]

Here the NATO people were delighted, because we are building everything for their loved ones.

[voyaka uh]

Hurry tests would end!
Then, probably, this mysterious rocket will be shown to the public.

[jonht]

Do not hope they will only show the container.

[3danimal]

There is a good chance that the real Zircon and its media image are very different. In an attempt to create a sort of analogue of SDI.
