Project 20380 corvettes can be equipped with anti-mine complexes

Russian corvettes of project 20380 can receive an anti-mine complex for equipping, which will allow ships to do without the help of minesweepers. This issue is currently being considered by the Ministry of Defense.

The military department is considering the issue of equipping project 20380 corvettes with underwater robotscapable of detecting and clearing mines. It is assumed that the corvettes that received the anti-mine complex will become more versatile and autonomous and will be able to operate without mine defense ships.

There are no details yet, but it is assumed that the corvettes can receive the "Diamant" robotic system, installed on the minesweepers of the "Alexandrite" project. It includes two light boats with special underwater robotic vehicles, hydroacoustic equipment and magnetometers. The system neutralizes explosive objects within a radius of 10 km and at a depth of up to 100 m.

To date, no final decision has been made, and appropriate tests are being carried out. In case of positive results, the first new product will be introduced in the Pacific navy... As they write "News", referring to sources in the Ministry of Defense, the first complex will receive the corvette "Aldar Tsydenzhapov", which recently became part of the Pacific Fleet.

Previously, corvettes were not equipped with anti-mine weapons either in the Soviet navy or in the Russian.

"Previously, no corvettes in the Soviet fleet ..."
Something I do not remember in the Soviet Navy corvettes.

[Roma 1977]

They were called "patrol ships".

[From Tomsk]

When they say: "they can get it", then you can forget about it for 10 years, or even more.

[Marachuh]

The opinion of specialists on this complex is interesting and how much it is working. Or is it a props again?

[ProkletyiPirat]

of course a props, well, or another "unparalleled" tobish de facto "idle \ meaningless \ insufficient \ etc". So it is possible to implement this very Wishlist, but for this you need a ship of a completely different design (at least larger aft docks, SPU, air platform and hold-hangar),

[Barberry25]

better than nothing .. but you need a new modernized complex in the form of a Duet-search and detection system and a kamikaze robot with a charge .. so as not to lose an expensive device every time

At last.
It was necessary a long time ago.
There will not be enough alexandrites for all operations, definitely.

[knn54]

I understand when these complexes are installed on LARGE ships such as a frigate or a minesweeper.
If you put on a corvette, then you will have to sacrifice SOMETHING on the ship.
The system itself is French (like unmanned boats are now Russian), obviously not cheap.
In my opinion, each type of ship should deal with ITS tasks.

This is precisely what cannot be understood. If we have a frigate, then making it a minesweeper "with calibers" is at least strange.

In fact, you will have to sacrifice the corvette - performing the tasks of the minesweeper, he will not be able to perform the tasks inherent in the corvette

Anti-mine complexes were installed on several of Arlie Berkov's buildings, but they did not continue the installation on others.
As far as I understand, for use in areas with increased mine risk far from the base - somewhere in the Persian Gulf, for example

Greetings, Sergey!

Also not from a good life - the acre of Avengers, number 11, the Americans do not have minesweepers. Previously, as I understand it, they primarily counted on their NATO colleagues

[Barberry25]

uh ... that is. we have a problem with minesweepers, but not with robots .. so putting them on corvettes is stupid ... somehow strange, don't you think? no one forces corvettes to trawl, they will lower the boat, and that one is already robots

[Pushkowed]

Survived ...

Minesweepers (more precisely, Mine Action Ships) are sorely lacking. Now they decided to use corvettes in this role.

The anti-mine complex "Diamant" is so-so system. There has already been an analysis of it: https://topwar.ru/179054-falshivyj-blesk-stekljashek-diamanda.html

By the way, the boats do not fit on minesweepers.

And where are you going to place them on the corvettes? Instead of a helicopter? Or instead of MF-RLK?

[Luty]

Yes, their boats will be removed and everything is in order))))

Everything was. Only under a different name ...

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

In short - complete nonsense. And it smells like another cut.
Firstly, it is not the business of the corvette to fight mines. Well, this is not his task. If we orient the corvette to mine action, this means that we do not have a corvette, but a minesweeper with a displacement of 2 tons. Do we need it?
Secondly, the diamand distinguished itself by the fact that a) it was almost incapable of combat b) the archdorog c) does not fit into minesweepers like "Alexandrite" - just in size. This is how we plan the Navy today - we order boats for minesweepers, simply without comparing the sizes.
Thirdly, the diamand complex is French (the French themselves categorically refused to install it on their ships)
Fourthly, corvettes are trite larger than Alexandrite.
Accordingly, the
Or, with a probability of about 100%, a group of bribe lobbyists is trying to resume the supply of diamands in large quantities for a rollback, justifying this by imparting an anti-mine function to our corvettes. In this case, the conclusion: to judge and shoot.
Or is it journalistic speculation, but in fact there is no question of any diamanda

[Alien From]

100 percent agree with you! There was an article on this topic. And besides, the complex is French ..... someone's hands reached out for the euro .......

[Old tanker]

Or maybe stupidly Tsidenzhapov with his worthless air defense under the noise they decided to convert into a minesweeper with enhanced weapons. Maybe at least it will do.

Maybe they are just trying to stick the already ordered Diamands anywhere.

Taking into account their real ability to look for mines (the excitement should be at the level of the average splash pool, that is, the water area is extremely limited), the ones already ordered would be the easiest to shove onto any auxiliary ship of the fleet. Corvette is not needed for this

[Termit1309]

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

Given their real ability to look for mines

We know about the inability of Diamant to search for mines only from the words of one person. Moscow Region continues to put this complex on Alexandrite, as far as I know.

The fact that the complex is not adopted by the French Navy does not count?

[Vladimir1155]

a wise decision, it is necessary to put these complexes on frigates, and on patrolmen it is obligatory, this will somehow solve the mine disaster
