Project 20380 corvette "Mercury" built for the Black Sea Fleet entered the final stage of sea trials

Built for the Black Sea fleet corvette "Mercury" project 20380 has begun the final stage of factory sea trials. According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense, the ship will spend several days at sea.

Corvette "Mercury", which has not been heard from this August, has finally appeared, and right at the final stage of factory sea trials. On Friday, the ship left the outfitting wall of Severnaya Verf and entered the waters of the Gulf of Finland, where it will spend several days checking everything that has not yet been checked today.

After the end of the ZHI, the corvette will return to the enterprise, where the shortcomings will be corrected and the preparation for state tests will take place. Apparently, Severnaya Verf will try to transfer the ship to the fleet before the New Year. By the way, the tests of "Mercury" are under the control of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Nikolai Evmenov.

Corvette "Mercury" is a Project 20380 Zealous corvette built at Severnaya Verf and renamed in 2021. Laid down on February 20, 2015, launched on March 12, 2020, after which it was completed afloat. Renamed "Mercury" last October. It is the fifth project 20380 corvette built at the Severnaya Verf shipyard according to a modified project with the installation of a new Zaslon multifunctional radar complex.

Displacement standard 1800 tons, full 2220 tons. The maximum length is 104,5 meters, the width is 13 meters, the maximum draft is 7,95 meters. Maximum speed 27 knots. Cruising range up to 4000 miles. The main armament is Uran 2X4 anti-ship missiles, from the eighth ship - Caliber or Onyx.

Plus 2 years before surrender to the Navy! Old song about the main thing!

7 years from bookmarking to delivery of the corvette - too much!
Although ......... something is better than nothing!

This is because of the smart masts.

The previous "Resistant" was made from 2006 to 2014 - despite the fact that there is no Barrier on it

Why try - the corvette must be handed over to the fleet without any imperfections, even if a month later, but in perfect order.

[nobody75]

There was a "Furke" ... That is why I do not believe in the ability of nasams to intercept low-flying missiles.

Still would. One and a half warships are surrendered a year, it is clear that all of them are under the control of the commander-in-chief.

If he had been in the Black Sea Fleet six months earlier with his "Redoubt", maybe "Moscow" would not have been at the bottom ☹️

If there was a missile attack, then maybe.

https://dzen.ru/a/YxhC6455fxLFc_TM Автор этого канала во всех подробностях утверждает что никаких атак вообще не было.

[ZeeD]

The people are not interested. It’s easier for them to downvote you than to delve into. It said "there was an attack" and there is nothing even to watch someone's calculations)

Subscribed to this channel, the person is a real air defense professional, you can trust him.

There used to be such spirits' "Maybe"

Or, as an option, both would be at the bottom

How will he get there?......... To the Black Sea Fleet?........

Tests are taking place in the Baltic Sea.
And some details.

. However, the lead ship of project 20386 has turned into a long-term construction project, and so far the prospects for project 20386 remain unclear. as well as the timing of the commissioning of the lead ship. The technical launching of the hull of the Mercury corvette of project 20386 in a low degree of readiness was carried out at Severnaya Shipyard in early March 2021. Due to the fact that the replenishment of the Black Sea Fleet with the corvette with the highest approved name "Mercury" was thus postponed indefinitely, a curious decision was made for political reasons - on October 15, 2021, the Zealous corvette (serial number 1007) of project 20380 was renamed "Mercury", and the head corvette of project 20386 under construction (serial number 1009) was returned to its original name "Daring". It is expected that the corvette "Mercury" (formerly "Zealous") will enter the Navy during 2022.

Through inland waters, through canals, the dimensions allow, not such a "great achievement" of shipbuilding, not so long ago, this "breakthrough" was not even mentioned in the local newspaper, but now ...

Buyan is barely pulled through the channels without a mast

[Xnumx vis]

Bridges! They won’t let them with a dear mast-tower with the Zaslon multifunctional radar complex, and the draft is not like that of Zelyony Dol-type RTOs ...... a problem ... Maybe it has the right to pass the Turkish straits to its home port? I don’t know. But I need it very, very ...

How will he get there?......... To the Black Sea Fleet?.

Through the Bosphorus, he is assigned to the Black Sea Fleet, he will be based there, the Turks are obliged to let him through.

I also think we must let them through to their permanent base ...

[next322]

the Turks still do not let them through the Mediterranean, and a year has already passed, assigned to the Black Sea Fleet 11776 Admiral Grigorovich and 22160 Derzhavin ..... not to mention the submarines Rostov and Novorossiysk

[Andy_nsk]

Well, if the Turks didn’t even let Grigorovich in, then, of course, they won’t let the new ship through.

And why did you decide that the Turks do not let these warships through? So far, there is no need to return them to the fleet base in Sevastopol. The crews were changed, they were repaired in Tartus and they carry out the necessary service in the Mediterranean.

[Nikolay Anatolyevich]

There are inland waterways. The Bosphorus is optional. Volga, Don and Mercury at the base

[PN]

No, until the end of the mess, the Turks do not let anyone through, except for those who return home. It's a new steamer, so it's highly unlikely they'll miss it.

Question from an amateur...
Anti-sabotage mortars... What is it? If possible, please provide a link.

There is no longer any rapid-fire small-caliber artillery - full confidence in Redoubt?

[storm]

The author forgot about two AK-630M artillery mounts

[navycat777]

Renamed due to long history since 20386

Thank you!
Requires an anti-sabotage grenade launcher for the surface Navy. The operator of this grenade launcher is required. It requires the production of this weapon and ammunition of the day for it.

If the ship is located where it can be attacked by combat swimmers or underwater saboteurs, isn't it easier and cheaper to throw ordinary grenades into the depths of the sea? With an interval of 2-5 minutes?

No sarcasm. But if no one on board knows when the flippers will swim up, then what is the advantage of a mortar in comparison with a grenade that a sailor will throw at 15-25 meters?
