"The Russians place missiles on every meter of their ships": Britain compared the Type 26 frigate with the Buyan-M MRK in terms of armament

99

This week in the British House of Commons it was announced that "initially the Type 26 frigate will only be equipped with a helicopter and a short-range missile system (plus a medium-caliber cannon and Phalanx CIWS)." The announcement caused a strong reaction in the British press; observers came out with sharp criticism, being dissatisfied with the extremely weak armament of the new escort ships of the AUG.

Loses even to Buyan-M


Critics include Tom Sharp, a retired commander [Captain 2nd Rank] who has been in the seas for 20 years. He compared armory stuffing of British ships, including the Type 26, with similar warships in fleets other countries.



In the table presented by him, ships from different countries are grouped. It evaluates the existing and new projects of the Royal Navy (RN) in comparison with the fleets of the United States, France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, China and Russia. The nine major weapon systems are listed at the top. Depending on their availability ("yes / no"), the ships gain points. As a result, the average value for the country is displayed.

The average score for all fleets is 6 out of 9. The US Navy is in the lead with 7,25, followed by the Chinese PLAN with 7 points and the Dutch frigate De Zeven Provinciën with 7 points. The average for the Royal Navy and T26 in particular is 4: "lower than on any other ship and in any other country," the author writes. Even the Russian MRK Buyan-M scored more points.

Fighting is a bloody affair. The ability to both withstand defense and attack is critical and highly dependent on the "mass". To use a boxing analogy: if you are half the size of your opponent, you will be beaten

- the commander believes.

"The Russians place missiles on every meter of their ships": Britain compared the Type 26 frigate with the Buyan-M MRK in terms of armament


Causes of failure


He tried to understand the reasons that affected the weak armament of the new frigate:

Of the ships listed in the table, excluding RN, 15 out of 18 have any torpedo launch systems. It also begs the question why the T26 (and T31) are the only ships on the list without surface-to-surface missiles?


First, there is not enough money, although recently the defense budget was significantly increased [the World Bank was in 4th place in terms of expenditures, the Russian Federation - in 5th]. Secondly, it has already become a habit to start building new types of ships, despite the immaturity of technology.

The Russians place missiles and guns on every meter of their ships, so much so that they literally bristle with them, and our fleet seems to be taking the opposite step.

Sharpe points out.

This is due to the unavailability of technical solutions. For example, officials claim that work on the Type 45 missile defense is ongoing, “but why was it not completed when the system was put into operation?” The author asks.

Thirdly, a mentality has formed according to which pennants, devoid of a certain type of weapon, will be covered by ships that possess them.

However, show up [on the battlefield] with a low-quality set [of weapons] and you will be sent to Group B, patrolling the waters a couple of hundred miles away.

Sharpe points out.

Fourthly, during the procurement process, costs are constantly growing, and therefore a dilemma arises - either completely abandon the program, or sacrifice its component parts.

I know that every military industrial complex in the world suffers from this, but maybe ours is in the ranks of the worst?

- writes the commander, pointing out, for example, that British ships have a Mark 41 launcher for anti-ship missiles and torpedo tubes, but they are empty, since no ammunition has been purchased for them.

Calling the Type 26 project a "failure", the author was concerned about the possible fate of the promising British destroyer Type 83:

The "8" index suggests that these ships will be large enough to match the cruisers of the past [...] There is a danger that we will build another ship weighing a billion pounds, which is inferior in armament to the 15-year-old Russian corvette

- the commander concludes.

          All Europeans (Britons are no exception) have a way of not buying Tomahawks for their own money, but getting them from the States in case of a mess.
          All wars are provoked by the States and cunning Europeans prefer to save money so as not to get targets for missiles bought for hard-earned money. The states have already complained that their stock of missiles has decreased and the partners ought to have the conscience to buy for the stock themselves. But so far no one is burning with such a desire. bully
          And without the Tomahawks, the money is safe, and the second (safer line) for an "under-armed" ship, if something happens, is a good option.
          Everything was and will be so. Only retirees are torn to the first line. hi

            "Axes" require appropriate hardware to be used. It is impossible to bring missiles from the USA, stuff them into the airborne command of any ship and go into battle. Even type 45, "sharpened" under the gayropean CR DB if it is brought "to mind", like FREMMs. There was no talk about type 31 at all, an extremely economical option)))

          Such as S. Brilev, who sang sweetly in the ears of Russians on Channel One. (Since 2001 he has been a citizen of Great Britain, which became publicly known in 2018.) President of the Global Energy Association (since February 3, 2020), member of the Presidium Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, co-founder and president of the Bering-Bellingshausen Institute (Montevideo, Uruguay), member of the Academy of Russian Television (since 2006), former member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Brilev was expelled from the council by the decision of the Minister of Defense from On January 28, 2019 it became known that the TV presenter has British citizenship. The Kremlin noted that Brilev “did not violate anything.” Of course, what he could have violated if half of the passports of citizens of other countries were hidden. In 2009, he worked in Manchester, I was struck by the fact that in the Manchester Cathedral church there were only bibles in German and Russian. This suggests that there are many Russian-speaking parishioners. And in London, where whole houses were bought by our fellow citizens. Regular flights to London were not canceled even during the virus. And since the prohibition for officials to own real estate abroad was not included in the list of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Dozens of parliamentarians and civil servants, if banned, could lose their posts. Everyone understands that all this nonsense of a second-rank captain in retirement for the common people.

          Here I will hold you because the majority of commentators do not have enough outlook to critically look at the problem. Here is an article where a retired former commander sees his opinion about weapons and immediately hurray the patriots write that they will drive Britov boats. The concept of a balanced ship is not known to them because what to the point of a ship where offensive weapons were sacrificed to other characteristics. And there are a lot of such examples, both foreign and domestic. Take at least the pre-war sevens weapons and speed at altitude, but the range, air defense, anti-aircraft defense and hull and mechanisms are rather weak, the same British and American destroyers They did not shine with such speeds and weapons, but they were universal and could protect the convoy from aircraft and submarines and pat the stronger enemy. But alas, Russian admirals and hurray patriots want an armed tsatsu that does not exist in the world, and the sailors do not care whether he will return from the campaign or not.

                GDPR is right. Initially, the 5P is intended for artillery, incl. Air defense. For Caliber, it is not suitable. External target designation is needed. Although it can go at short range, it has been modified for surface targets, but rather weak for a CD-based DB.

                  ???? And how do you imagine a shipborne radar capable of giving target designation to a missile with a range of 3500 km? Something like "Don"?

                    It is quite enough "Furke" for general detection and "Monument-A" for target designation.

                    Look at the "Karakurt": it seems that it is "Brawler", but it has the best seaworthiness and can fire itself at enemy ships. This is already a ship, and not just a floating launcher, but it is just as vulnerable to enemy aircraft and submarines and costs significantly more.

                    The article was more about anti-ship missiles, and in this version the range is about 300 km. The curvature of the earth, for your information, changes with the height of the ship's mast. So with the same radar, Peter the Great will see much further than Buyan.

                  On any ship, the radar will be limited by the curvature of the Earth.

                    Thats exactly what I mean.
                    Over-the-horizon radars are somewhat non-shipborne. And according to unofficial data, the flight range of the Caliber missiles reaches 3500 km. How? :)
                    Even a 300 km range of location and target designation for the ship's radar is not feasible. From a height of 30 meters, the horizon does not exceed 50 km.

                      It was about the fact that El Dorado said that there was no radar station on Buyany at all, and they began to explain to him that it was there. Nobody said that it can be compared with the coastal ones.

    First, there is not enough money, although recently the defense budget has been significantly increased.



    Recently, I just rush from such explanations. As you read the foreign press about Russia, so "torn to shreds", a beggar gas station, GDP like someone's village, everything is stolen. In the West, there is continuous growth and prospects, development and wealth.
    But, damn it, why the hell then they don't have enough money for government programs? Why do we poor and torn apart have money to put rockets on the ship, but they do not? :)
    Where does their GDP go? Moreover, "money is not enough" not only in Britain. The same with Poland, but it is almost a pancake not the leader of growth in the EU. But he cannot buy himself a new plane or bank, there is no money. I am silent about their gavron, which they cannot build.
    And how there is not enough US money!

    I think the British Mariman is hesitant to voice the main reason for such a strange military shipbuilding. Britain is not building its own fleet. She sees her clables exclusively as part of the NATO fleet or an auxiliary part of the US fleet.

      Only at a height of Buyan's mast of 18 m will he see a similar ship at a distance of 32 km.
      And Peter the Great with a mast height of 59 m will see the same ship as himself at a distance of 58 km. Buyan will be visible for 45 km.
      From the point of view of anti-ship missiles with a firing range of 300 km, the difference is not great.

    The British have the genes to walk the seas and oceans. Only one thing is not clear, have they forgotten their own history? Francis Drake and Henry Morgan did not have large ships, but they kept the Spanish galleons stuffed with gold Indians at bay. And with success they were captured or drowned.
    Probably, American Hollywood, announcing today the winners of all times and peoples of the Americans, with its craving for the large size of everything and everyone, played a cruel joke with British psychology. History must not be forgotten, gentlemen, British! There was no USA at that time, alas ... Then Britain was equal to itself.

    What nonsense is it, how you can compare the combat capabilities of ships of different ranks, dumping them in one heap and displaying the average temperature in the hospital. And even without taking into account the weapons standing on them, including radio-technical ones. Some kind of amateurish approach. And the fact that at the Royal Nevi half of the ships are disarmed due to the lack of the required ammunition, even on the nuclear submarine has long been known. And judging by the video, it is clear that this is not a frigate, although it was called that way, the maximum is a patrol ship. Apparently everything is needed, there is no money, so they tried to sculpt something incomprehensible
