67
Located in the Naval fleet Russian Federation project 22350M frigates, which are armed with ship-based anti-aircraft missile systems "Polyment-Redut", will receive anti-aircraft guided missiles (SAM) with a range of up to 400 km. This is reported by TASS with reference to a source in the Russian military-industrial complex.
Currently, the Poliment-Redut complex can use anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 150 kilometers. Thus, the range of the complex will more than double, which will affect the combat capability of the frigates and the effectiveness of their combat use.
As the TASS, citing a source in the military-industrial complex, an almost three-fold increase in the interception range of air targets will allow Russian frigates to be able to destroy NATO airborne early warning and control aircraft. Long-range missiles will be launched from the cells of the universal ship firing system (UKKS) 3S14.
Currently, the frigate "Admiral Gorshkov", for example, has 2 UKKS for 16 missiles. On frigates, starting with the ship "Admiral Amelko", which is the fifth in the project, four systems will already be installed, designed for eight missiles each. It is known that they are going to lay the lead frigate of project 22350M in 2023.
In total, Russia expects to build 12 modernized Project 22350M frigates, which should significantly increase the combat capability of the Russian Navy against the backdrop of current events.
