The frigate Admiral Grigorovich began the transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean

The Russian frigate of project 11356 Admiral Grigorovich completed the tasks as part of a permanent grouping of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea and headed for the Indian Ocean. This was reported by the press service of the Black Sea fleet.

It is reported that the frigate Admiral Grigorovich, escorted by the rescue tugboat “Professor Nikolai Muru”, left the Mediterranean Sea and began passing the Suez Canal. The group will pass the Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden, after which it will enter the Indian Ocean. The frigate's task is to demonstrate the Russian flag in the region.

- said in a statement.

It is emphasized that "the technical capabilities of the frigate and the tugboat allow to perform tasks in the southern latitudes."

It is unfortunate that one hundred of these workhorses of the domestic Navy is only a magnificent three. Such a fleet needs 10 times more.

There would be turbines ...

[Oleg kubanoid]

this is a project 90 .. and it had to be built much earlier .. right now it is already outdated ..

Etc. 11356 was originally made for export, its construction for Russia was associated with delays under Project 22350, now all problems have been solved and more frigates of Project 22350, which are more powerful than 11356, are building for Russia.

Moreover, even the power of Project 22350 was not enough and the fleet wants an increased Project 22350M.

[Cympak]

Project 11356 frigates have weak anti-submarine capabilities: there is no towed GAS, no PLUR, no "Packet". If desired, all this could be installed, but the "withers" decided to save money.

[avg]

the "withers" decided to save money.

This is where you found such "withers"? Yes, admirals all over the world are busy squeezing out funds and shoving their most daring wants in the ass.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

The frigates of pr.11356 have weak anti-submarine capabilities: there is no towed GAS, no PLUR, no "Packet". If desired, all this could be installed,

If all of this is established, pr.22350 is obtained by Russia and is doing it now))).

If you are not in the subject, then do not carry nonsense about the fact that -

Not only the delay from 22350 was the reason for the construction of 11356.
If it were not for the deplorable state of the Black Sea Fleet, we could have waited for 22350 to be ready. But on the Black Sea Fleet, apart from Moscow, the other large surface ships were considered obsolete even in the USSR - there even pr. 61 and the "clean" pr. 1135 had to build.

I don’t like when they lie in the eyes and do not blush, too early they began to puff their cheeks with great power ...

[Vladimir16]

I don't care what you love and what you don't love.
And our country is great both in size and in people living in it.
And the ancestors for their courage in defending the homeland honor and praise.
And you do not love and read my first sentence.

[Charlie]

Not great. Big just

[Tamparu]

I've never been a "Moreman", but why do tugs constantly go with our warships? Are you worried that a breakdown may happen somewhere at some point?

[KVU-NSVD]

Worried that somewhere at some point a breakdown could happen?

Well, they are cautious in distant crossings in the event of an accident or fire - anything in the ocean can happen, but we don’t have many ships. it is strange that there is no supply vessel.

[Doccor18]

Ocean tug is not only a tug, but also a complex rescue complex.
Again, it is a pity that we do not have so many of them. Fotiy Krylov, as an indicator of what tugs should arrive in our Navy. Truth and it was built in Finland

[Ilya098]

No one is safe from the accident, and in the Indian Ocean we do not have bases and we will have to wait a long time for help. The United States, for example, has bases around the world, and in which case a tug will be sent from there.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

We do not have as many naval bases as NATO ships and send a warship alone; the other end of the world is very risky, this technique sometimes breaks both with us and with us. Only they have more ship groupings; there is someone to take in tow.

And it was impossible instead of this crap to write something like - The crews of the frigate and the rescue ship of the Black Sea Fleet make the transition to the Indian Ocean to observe the actions of the ships of the "partners" located in the Indian Ocean
So hezh is more solid than waving a flag

[bayard]

The demonstration of the flag is one of the tasks of ships on a long voyage. Surely a visit to Iran is planned, and this is not only a demonstration of support, but also a demonstration of the frigate itself. Perhaps a proposal will be made to build such ships for the Iranian Navy, as the arms embargo expires in the fall. It was this type of ships that was delivered to India, and the Indians are happy with them - in the ranks of 6 such pennants and 4 are still ordered. If the Iranians agree with Ukraine about the GEM (as the Indians did), then Kaliningrad Amber will have another good order.

[Vasyan1971]

The frigate's task is to demonstrate the Russian flag in the region.

That's right. Admirals - sea animals, must constantly cut water.

[Cympak]

There is such a concept - a resource. When the resource of the turbines of the "Admirals" of project 11356 ends, they will either need to be restored or changed. I have Ukrainian turbines there and there is no replacement for them. turbines produced in Rybinsk for pr.11356 frigates are not suitable. For this reason, 3 unfinished buildings were sold to India, and did not go to the KCHF

There is such a thing - a resource.

And what? Save a resource? Let it rot on the wall?

[Cympak]

The turbines will run out of life and these handsome men will rot at the wall, as the best anti-submarine ship of the Russian Navy pr.1155.1 "Admiral Chabanenko" is now rotting

and patrol ship pr.11540 "Fearless"

Like?

And with Chabanenko, the impression is that he has been jinxed.

I remember how at one time our "partners" reacted to the presence of a group of Soviet warships in the Indian Ocean. This was news # 1. Once the "voice" even listed who was there. I don’t remember which one of the ANK type "Kiev" was there, plus the EMNIP "Leningrad", the landing "Rogov", 2 BODs of project 61 and 2 destroyers of project 56. Plus a tank, a tug and a supply vessel (or weapons transport - I honestly don't remember). Now at least one frigate was sent there, and that bread

It will be problematic to watch partners using two pennants ...

[Cympak]

And where are the patrol ships of the far sea zone of project 22160? It seems that they were just created in order to drive pirates across all sorts of warm seas, and not to spend the valuable resource of large warships.
And for some reason the pipe-layer "Akademik Chersky" was escorted by the patrol ship of pr. 11540 "Yaroslav the Wise", and, among other things, there are Ukrainian turbines on it. Due to the exhaustion of the resource of these turbines, its sister-thorn "Undaunted" is already on the standby (long-term repair).

PMSM, for flag demonstrations 22160 looks too solid.

- Give up the ends! Sitnikov commanded and rang the telegraph. The light gray side of the "Budyonny" with black streaks immediately went back. The group of command staff who saw off the commander saluted.
- The flag? asked the tall one softly.
- The flag! - Sitnikov repeated in a full voice, and Vaska pulled the halyard. The red bundle, taking off, turned around with a huge cloth that covered almost half of the mast.
-- Important! - thought out loud Sovchuk. - What is your demonstration!
The flag really was not for the ship. Stretched out by a board in a crosswind, it burned with unbearable redness and suppressed by its size. All "Budyonny" disappeared behind his running folds.
The tall one looked inquiringly at Sitnikov.
“There were no others,” he answered. - Not allowed, it means that the commander himself went on small ships.
Small and gray suddenly pulled his hands out of his pockets.
- Nonsense! - jumped to Vaska. - Stop the booth! Take away!

The ships of the project 22160 IMHO look very good (someone gave an apt definition - "imperial design"), but the real combat benefits of them tend to zero. Instead of exploitation as intended (i.e., demonstration of the flag in peacetime and anti-piracy patrolling), they come up with very strange tasks: to be a radar patrol ship in order to transmit information about the detected enemy to the coastal air defense systems and anti-ship missiles.
That's just the RTS at 22160 for the radar patrol is rather weak and low-lying. Not to mention the fact that the AWACS plane should be engaged in this task. Yes, and the combat stability of 22160 for such a watch tends to zero, there is practically nothing to fight off aviation, surface ships and submarines with. If you are lucky, you may have time to convey information about the enemy detected, however, at the cost of your death.
