The seventh patrol ship of project 22120 for the Border Service was launched in St. Petersburg
In St. Petersburg, another patrol ship of the 2nd rank "Ladoga" of project 22120 "Purga" was launched for the Border Service of the FSB of Russia. The ceremony took place on June 10, 2021 at the shipyard of the Almaz shipbuilding company without much publicity.
It is noted that this is the seventh ship of this project, built for the border service. Moreover, nothing was reported about its foundation and the beginning of construction. Almaz shipbuilders traditionally do not announce the launching of ships into the water, and here is the second ship, the construction of which was not reported at all. In April of this year, the sixth ship of the same type, "Admiral Ugryumov", was launched, the construction of which was also unknown.
Thus, taking into account the Ladoga, Almaz built seven Project 22120 border patrol ships (code Purga) for the FSB Border Service of the Russian Federation. So far, all built ships are sent to the Far East.
The patrol ship of project 22120 code "Purga" is a high-speed multipurpose ice-class coast guard ship, capable of keeping watch in the ice. The ship's hull is equipped with ice reinforcement, allowing it to overcome ice more than half a meter thick. Maximum speed - 24 knots. economic - 14 knots. The economic cruising range reaches 6000 miles, the autonomy is 20 days, and the crew size is 16-25 people + up to 14 people as passengers.
