The manufacturer announced the interest of foreign customers in the 22800 Karakurt-E RTOs

The export version of the Russian small missile ship of project 22800 "Karakurt-E" aroused interest from foreign countries. This was stated by Alexander Emelyushin, deputy general director of the Ak Bars shipbuilding corporation for external cooperation.

According to the representative of the shipbuilding corporation, about 10 states from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America have shown interest in the ships. These are small batches ranging from two to five units.

At this exhibition we are presenting two models - a small missile ship of project 22800 "Karakurt-E" and a patrol ship 22160. Today, it is these ships that foreign customers show the greatest interest. Today we can designate about a dozen countries as our potential customers

- leads RIA News the words of Emelyushin.

In 2017, it was reported about the development of an export version of the 22800 Karakurt-E MRK with the Italian 76-mm OTO Melara gun, MTU diesel engines and Thales radio-technical weapons. It was assumed that this option would be of interest to foreign customers. But at the same time, a completely Russian version was also offered for export.

RTOs are designed to conduct hostilities in the near sea zone and participate in peacetime and wartime missions independently and as part of ship groups.

The ship has a length of 67 meters, a width of 11 meters and a draft of 4 meters. Displacement - about 800 tons, cruising range - up to 2500 miles, autonomy - 15 days. The main armament is one PU UKSK (universal ship complex) 3S14 RK for 8 KR "Caliber", one 76-mm gun mount AK-176MA, ZRPK "Pantsir-M", two 14.5-mm or 12,7-mm machine gun mounts MTPU.

Even with Calibers E, is this not a redundant option for protecting fish stocks? I don't see any more options. I warn you sarcasm.

for patrolling the exclusive economic zone of RTOs and is not needed

[tralflot1832]

Iran, for example, will be able to protect fish stocks. It is not serious to cut through the Persian Gulf on 360 boats.

just 22160 sick a suitable project for this

It's nothing. Today the whole day should begin and end with this phrase. And not in one sentence, but in a series of articles. From the formation of the Red Army to the greatest army in the world. Just tell me, how many articles per day were there about Ukraine and how many about our army ?!

If sold abroad it will be very good.

[Borik]

If there is export, then the price for such ships should be lower for its own fleet.

Definitely

This is all sanctioned, who will give it to us?

a completely Russian version was also offered for export.

What, completely straight, and even the engine?

Well this will only wait in half a century.

During Soviet times, restrictions were tougher, nevertheless ...
A colleague told me. In Italy, potential suppliers (of civilian products) walked it through their plant, showed and told what they were doing and for whom. One explanation was: "And here we are doing ... for your submarines"

[alexmach]

They say already 2 or maybe even 3. Yes, the question confused. There is also a real limitation on the number of engines produced. Although, while the contracts are signed, the series for the Navy may be coming to an end.

[CastroRuiz]

E variant 100% bez Kalibrov. Naverniaka Uran predlagayut kak opciu.
A s dvizhkami MTU i elektronikou od Thales eto ochen khoroshiy maliy korvet, mozhet bit odin iz luchshikh v svojom klase.

[Kurare]

Why do you think that it can be one of the best in its class with imported engines and electronics?

You need to set your own, then the service will be comprehensive. And the integration of imported products is always fraught with problems, as regards the interaction of individual elements with each other and their combination into one complex.

[alexmach]

Why do you think that it can be one of the best in its class with imported engines and electronics?

First, in what other class? Who is there besides Karakurt in this class then?
MTU engines are definitely a big plus. Firstly, they are less noisy, but in general it is a proven reliable solution. But with Thales it is not entirely clear. Firstly, what exactly are they going to put, and secondly, how to pair it with BIUS.

Any option at the request of the customer. It may be easier for him to maintain imported equipment than Russian.

So it’s so, but what will there be Russian, the body and the paint? And Ak Bars will simply become an integrator of alien technologies.

Of course, this option is profitable in its own way. But here is exactly the situation when "you earn a ruble, you lose two". This is what a loss of image, not to mention any development "for other people's investments."

This approach is reminiscent of history, it was in the 90s, when the Americans wanted to sell Abrams to Turkey. Prior to that, Germany refused to sell new Leopards to Turkey. The Turks looked at the Abrams and said:
- The gas turbine does not suit us, we would have a diesel engine like on the Leopard
- Oh yes, the Leopard's MSA will also be better, put it
- You "modernized" the German gun in vain, so put the same one as the German one
- Well, since it comes to that, let's just install the Leopard tower on the Abrams and no hassle.
Something like that. The result is known, the Americans could not fall in love with OWN Abrams, and, of course, they did not want to sell just a box and become an integrator of other people's technologies.

You need to put your own

Well, like a bee Karakurt, it was even designed for MTU engines. You have to put your own not from a good life.

[alexmach]

Well, how was Karakurt even for myself under MTU engines and was designed

Not true. It was never designed for them. Even his unfinished "prototype" from the 90s had stars.

[TermNachTer]

If you cram imported stuffing into "karakurt", the price will "skyrocket". It will not be so interesting for less wealthy buyers. And the rich will buy from the rich.

[donavi49]

76mm Melara is a legend, it is quite cheap, there are many types of shells. The most common ship weapon in the world.
MTU - well, who in their right mind would choose 112 cylinder monsters from Zvezda, which have 2,5 times less resource than the same MTU? Plus, in maintenance, it is necessary to pour fluids into it like into a black hole.
Thales - again, ROE simply has no alternative to which Smart-S thread.

export version of MRK project 22800 "Karakurt-E" with the Italian 76-mm OTO Melara gun, MTU diesels and Thales radio-technical weapons

Although, this practice takes place, everything is at the request of the customer, for his money.

Naturally, the customer dictates the composition of weapons and equipment. And these supplies, as a rule, are purchased by the Customer, and delivered for assembly ... This is how the sanctions are "bypassed". Why don't our shipyards need orders? And to all the rest of our factories along the chain ...

[rocket757]

So everything is fine, although our equipment, to the last screw, looks nicer, as a recognition of the quality of our weapons.

Let's show off - they will find another manufacturer and seller of similar ships.

[Constanty]

In 2017, it was reported about the development of an export version of the 22800 Karakurt-E MRK with the Italian 76-mm OTO Melara gun, MTU diesel engines and Thales radio-technical weapons.

Poland has already processed it when exporting PT-91M to Malaysia.
The key and most expensive components from overseas mean that foreign companies mostly (if not only) make money.
It was wiser to sell the version of the project 22800 "Karakurt-E" with Russian components (even in the export version) Then Russian companies and Russians will really earn

[Petrol cutter]

Yes, what is it that!?.
Right now they are ordering again. And past us ...
And the director, Comrade Verevkin (from "Pella"), even then reported to the team about such a possible development of events.
A wise enough guy.

[Tests]

Vietnam? It is very possible that they have "Cheetahs" pr. 1161E running in the amount of 4 pieces. The old watchdogs of Project 159 seem to have run away, it's time to change them. With China, Vietnam is not going smoothly because of the islands. The Vietnamese Navy has known Uranus for a long time, Bastion has mastered it, and Varshavyanok has been used more than at the Russian Pacific Fleet ...
Algeria? Perhaps they have pr. 1159 still running, as many as 3 pieces, the first ship was born in 1980.
I wonder who is in Latin America ... Maybe let's remember Cuba?
Middle East - Syria? ...
And the patrolman of pr. 22160 will order? With which module, interestingly, with "Uran-E" or with "Caliber"?
It remains to wish the shipbuilders of export orders more and tastier.
