"Purga" is coming: a frontier patrol ship of the 1st rank of project 23550 was launched in Vyborg

The event was attended by Vladimir Kulishov, First Deputy Director - Head of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia, Alexander Drozdenko, Governor of the Leningrad Region, Georgy Poltavchenko, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Shipbuilding Corporation JSC, heads of design and scientific institutes, representatives of the customer and heads of supplier companies.

Georgy Poltavchenko:

Any launching of a warship is historical event. Today's descent is the beginning of a new era of the border guard of the borders of the Russian Federation. We are launching the first large-tonnage ice-class ship in history, built specifically for the Coast Guard.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Shipbuilding Corporation noted the relevance of such ships in the current situation:

As the recent act of international terrorism on the Nord Stream gas pipelines showed, the West has crossed the boundaries of reason and is trying with all its might to deprive our country of strategic advantages. Therefore, such border ships as the Purga will be very necessary for our the fleet to protect and preserve Russian borders.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Viktor Evtukhov emphasized the importance of the work of the Vyborg Shipyard among the enterprises participating in projects to develop the defense potential of our country:

At the Vyborg shipyard, the lead border guard ship of the 1st rank "Purga" of project 23550 was launched, which will solve the tasks of ensuring border control in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Providing the Coast Guard of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation with modern Project 23550 ships will allow it to effectively protect the state interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic zone. The ship has an ice class and is able to overcome ice up to 1.5 meters thick, it will be equipped with modern weapons, radio-electronic and navigation equipment, all of which are domestic technologies. In general, the shipbuilding industry of Russia today can ensure the production of a complete range of both warships and civilian ships and watercraft, including such unique objects as nuclear and diesel icebreakers, sea and river vessels, as well as research, high-speed passenger and fishing vessels. fleet. To develop the accumulated technological potential of the industry in our country, a set of measures is being taken aimed at achieving technological independence and providing for technical re-equipment, reconstruction and modernization of fixed production assets. Given the broad inter-sectoral cooperation, the results achieved by the shipbuilding industry will have a positive impact on the economic performance of related sectors of industry: metallurgy, machine tool building, engine building, metalworking, radio electronics, chemical industry and others.

The ice-class border patrol ship Purga was laid down on July 25, 2020 at the Vyborg Shipyard. The designer is JSC TsMKB Almaz (part of USC). Having a high level of automation and a high level of comfort for the crew, the Purga can carry out year-round service in the Arctic waters of the Russian Federation.

7 feet under keel and excellent crew. Good news

[impostor]

Well ... 2 × 4 KR "Caliber" ... not bad ... not on Purga, but on other projects there may be ...

[Terenin]

"Blizzard" goes:

From the first moment I thought about ... Peskov

The thought was the same from the first reading, but ... the project will be more serious, what do you think?

As an amateur in the performance characteristics of warships, I can only judge its potential seriousness by the hysterical comments of Russia's enemies.

You can simply compare the number of launchers on this product and the ancient Arleigh Burke, which has the same displacement, and then say - "yes, they always hysteria."

[TatarinSSSR]

And why are you comparing the number of launchers on the border patrol ship and the URO destroyer? Then compare the number of launchers of this PSKR with the launchers of a US Coast Guard ship with the same displacement. Or dilettante?

Colleagues, I am in this matter - Zero

[TatarinSSSR]

It's clear. This border ship is subordinate to the FSB, not the Navy. It is for the protection of maritime boundaries from violators, poachers, smugglers and other things like that. And for such tasks it is even too heavily armed. Times are not calm. Now it would be dangerous even for a British destroyer to quarrel with him if he wanted to walk through our territorial waters.

[Terenin]

Thank you.
Well, then I wish the commander, this ship, my own - Sasha Marinesko

[navycat777]

On the other hand, a similar project for the RF Ministry of Defense is practically not armed)

[S. Sergei]

Quote: TatarinSSSR

for such tasks very much too heavily armed

For what kind? This is a ship of the first rank, a hulk of 115 meters and virtually unarmed. One small module for 4 calibers (not even 8), instead of AK and Igla air defense. All that remains is to say: well, he’s a patrolman, well, this is a different department ... As if, if anything, these will be sent to rest for the duration of the war, and instead of them, from somewhere normal, capable of hitting and snapping, will arise.

Because the citizen noticed that someone there was hysterical about this project, although, as you can see from the armament, he does not represent any serious force.

Not with the same, but half the size. Or an amateur?

[ZIF122]

How can you compare a destroyer with PSKR "Arleigh Burke" by the way, as you wrote the ancient one is still part of the US Navy. And the ship is very well armed, I am writing because I work in this area. AK-176 M are very good and reliable gun mounts, so by the way, like the AK-630M. I am pleased that we have such ships!

[Leshak]

God grant a long, without emergency, service for the benefit of Russia.

[fetus]

7 feet under keel. God bless the service for the good of Russia.

Another practically unarmed ship without air defense and sonar, anti-mine and anti-sabotage equipment ....
A useless vessel for budget billions of rubles, like patrol pr. 22160

This is a ship for the border guards.

[storm]

The border service, together with the Navy, must ensure the security of territorial waters, ports, and naval bases.
If the Navy does not have enough of its own forces and the warships of the most powerful Northern Fleet can be counted on the fingers of two hands, the most logical thing is to rearm and make border ships of at least the first and second rank multi-purpose.

[TatarinSSSR]

Another amateur looking at a book and seeing a fig. This is PSKR - a border guard ship. He is subordinate to the FSB and not the Navy. And his task is to protect the water borders of the state from violators, poachers, smugglers and the like. And not to participate in naval battles with the enemy fleet and aircraft. To do this, there is the navy and air defense.

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: TatarinSSSR

Will he destroy the bases of smugglers with Caliber?

[TatarinSSSR]

So be indignant at the fact that for a border ship it is too heavily armed.

[Mordvin 3]

He will not destroy any intruder with Caliber, including the British destroyer, and the air defense could land another Paulus.

[navycat777]

The violator is detained, not destroyed. For destruction - you can issue target designation

[TatarinSSSR]

Actually, there is already Caliber-M. What is this, you can google

[ch28k38]

I believe that this is not about the German field marshal, but about the pilot of the U2 aircraft. So his name was Francis Harry Powers.

[storm]

The Navy has three dozen combat-ready ships in all fleets, what a combat benefit from the 50-year-old cruiser Moscow, we all had the displeasure to observe.
Useless "Tatar anti-piracy miracle" pr. 22160 from the Zelenodolsk plant, only the lazy did not scold.
And since combat units in the fleet can be counted on the fingers, it is necessary to effectively use each warship and it does not matter if it is the Navy or the FSB, the goals and objectives are common - the protection of territorial waters and the coast of Russia.
If an air defense complex is installed on a border ship of the 1st rank for self-defense and cover for a base or convoy of civilian ships, who feels bad for this?
And if a GAS is installed on the ship and the ship can still control the underwater situation, detect enemy submarines, underwater drones or saboteur swimmers, who feels bad about this?
If the Northern Sea Route was patrolled by two dozen frigates pr. 22350M and even two dozen corvettes pr. 20380/385, I would not write a word, let these patrol ships arm at least one machine gun .....

[lucul]

And if a GAS is installed on the ship and the ship can still control the underwater situation, detect enemy submarines, underwater drones or saboteur swimmers, who feels bad about this?

Please explain how you combine on the same ship - GAS and the ability to overcome 1.5m of ice? )))))

Just like you have 1.5m of ice and cod poachers.
In your opinion, this ship will carry out patrol service exclusively in the ice?
What kind of patrol ship is this if it cannot find out about the underwater situation in its patrol zone? What kind of armed ship is this if it cannot protect itself from threats from the air? And after that it is called a ship of the 1st rank?

[lucul]

Just like you have 1.5m of ice and cod poachers.

Yes, his task is to patrol the Northern Sea Route.

[Krasnoyarsk]

And what will he be looking for? Is it an aircraft carrier? There, most likely, a submarine will appear, but he will not see it. So why is he there?

[storm]

Exactly the same as it is combined on BOD 1155

[lucul]

Exactly the same as it is combined on BOD 1155

Project 1155 can overcome 1.5m of ice? )))

[storm]

A little smaller, but the body of pr 1155 is reinforced and this does not interfere with the installation of the GAS

[lucul]

You probably don’t understand why an icebreaker breaks ice.

[storm]

But you don’t understand that the GAS can be installed in different parts of the hull, not necessarily where the main load falls during the destruction of the ice layer ....

[lucul]

But you don’t understand that GAS can be installed in different parts of the hull

Yeah, right behind the screws and pointing back)))
The HOOK is not just placed in the bow of the vessel; at a different place of installation, the efficiency and directivity diagram fall.

[storm]

But how do submersible or towed GAS work, are they behind the propellers anyway?

[Eug]

A new "bad weather division"?

[Dizel200]

We don’t know how to come up with beautiful names, of course there are exceptions, but not in this case

[Kunica]

It was named after the main orator of the country.

[Fangaro]

Launched by a border guard ship ...
Sorry, but if there are such errors in the title of the article, then "I didn't read it, but I didn't like it."

[Kunica]

border guard ship

Correct the title of the article.

[Private SA]

The name is wrong. "Fog" and "Passat" will be remembered.

[lucul]

The name is wrong. "Fog" and "Passat" will be remembered.

Quite normal, there is no need to produce Anglicisms without the need)))

[UAZ 452]

There is a clear discrepancy between the declared purpose of the ship (a patrol ship for border guards) and the performance characteristics in the form of strike weapons that are prohibitively powerful for such a class of pennants. If the real purpose does not correspond to the declared one, then everything is even worse - the mentioned strike weapons and defensive capabilities clearly do not correspond, especially in terms of air defense / missile defense.
Simply put, chasing poachers and smugglers, inspecting passing civilian ships, he will carry these "Caliber" dead weight, while instead of their weight and volume, something more useful could be taken to perform its functions, for example, significantly increasing autonomy. If you try to use it in hostilities, the ship will only be a defenseless target against even the most powerful enemy, and the Caliber will help it in the same way that its Volcanoes helped Moscow. So you need to take care now that there is a place on the deck where the "Shell" will be screwed later.
And it’s not very clear - how will target designation be carried out for Caliber? Only external? Does the ship generally have its own radar, capable of directing anti-ship missiles other than firing "point-blank"?

[Alex92]

In short, another ship of the project "Neither in ***** nor in the Soviet Army" comes out, with an incomprehensible concept of use and a strange set of weapons, which does not fit perfectly into any combat mission on the one hand, and looks like firing a cannon at sparrows for border guard targets on the other
