    Eh, fine, of course, but hiding it in the Black Sea Fleet is a real problem, even if we assume it would show up there now. It's impossible until the end of the Cold War. It's sedition; they could have slapped together some figs with that money.

      How to hide it in the Black Sea Fleet is a whole problem, assuming that it would appear there now.

      They'll sink it in the Black Sea; the local admirals there are uneducated. And such frigates can't influence the course of the air defense system. These long-suffering ships. First, the Maidan left them without engines, then the sanctions left them without electronics.

        Shoigu, Shevtsova, Rakhmanov, and their cronies inflicted far greater damage on the fleet. The people on Pella probably cursed themselves a hundred times over the idea of ​​contacting the Ministry of Defense.

        then sanctions without electronics.

        Any electronics are for sale; their own officials prevent people from buying them. This is the difference between Russia and Iran and North Korea. They obtain what they can't make themselves by any means necessary, while we are forbidden.

      Well, go ahead and slap together some fi-fi-fi on the carousel machine, and we'll take a look at this miracle.

      In the Mediterranean, of course. The Black Sea is already under fire from Crimea. Of course, we need to acquire something other than Tartus.

      It's all very clear: until the slipway is completed in the ongoing general modernization of the Severnaya Verf shipyard and until we complete the SVO on "Ukrainian territory," which "devours the state's financial resources," we won't see any 22350M frigates.

        until the slipway is completed in the ongoing comprehensive modernization of the Severnaya Verf shipyard

        How will we take the ship out to sea after construction? The Neva fairway is blocked at height by the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter bridges, and we can't go deeper because of the sewer. Should we weld the hull together and finish building the superstructure in Bronka? Or what about Peter the Great's return journey: via Ladoga, Svir, and Onega? No one wanted to think about that when the bridges were being built.

      The next Project 22350 frigate for the Russian Navy was laid down today in St. Petersburg. This is great news. But when will the lead frigate, the 22350M, be laid down?
      Before starting construction of ships, you need to have a company ready to rhythmically produce propulsion plants for them!! And the main power plant (MPP) of a ship is not only diesel or gas turbine engines, but also, most importantly, gearboxes (!), ready to connect this in one power plant and make it work well (!)The main problem in naval shipbuilding today is the lack of a professional and competent marine gearbox design center for the creation and assembly of ship propulsion systems!!! wink
      But how to lay down ships in large series without calculating how many propulsion plants for this series can be rhythmically supplied by industry has already been tried (!), when they loudly and pompously laid down more than a dozen "Karakurts", ignoring the, to put it mildly, modest capabilities of PJSC "Zvezda" in creating engines!!!! wink

    They'll drown everything in the Black Sea, just like they did in the Baltic, and not just Russia. They're just puddles, exposed to fire from every direction. If Project 22350 was a success, they wouldn't have bothered—they'd need to build a whole series based on it for about 10 years, just changing the armament. How many years have the Americans been churning out Arleigh Burkes?

      It's more like Oliver Hazard Perry. A Burke analog would be like making a 22350M. But there are problems with the stamping presses; citing the engines, it took four years to make just one housing for one of the models...

      If the 22350 project was successful, they wouldn't have to bother - they'd need to develop a whole series based on it for about 10 years.

      They've been making them for 20 years, not just 10; the first one was laid down in 2006.

    I hope I live to see it handed over to the fleet, which will probably be around 2035...

      It makes no sense. It's a good old naval tradition, a planet-wide one, the obsolescence of the naval program due to long construction times and rapid technological advances/changing military realities.

    We need to launch more drones and cruise missiles, not these candidates for sinking.

    Wake up! This isn't news anymore. In my opinion, they call themselves "Military Review," but are formally turning into their sister company, "Reporter." They delivered the minesweeper 12700 "Polyarny" to the fleet and laid down a new one without announcing it. They delivered the small missile ship 22800 "Burya" to the fleet, but reported it after everyone else, a bit late. And they were the last to report on the laying down of the ninth frigate 22350 "Admiral Gromov." They're becoming petty and uninteresting in military matters, and politics is everywhere.

    Navy Commander-in-Chief Moiseyev announced at the keel-laying ceremony that the frigate Admiral Gromov will have eight more missiles. Eight UKSK launchers will likely be added. In this case, the total number of UKSK launchers on the frigate will reach 24.

    Well, I just wanted to ask: it seems they wrote that on these frigates the number of VPU UKSK on the first units alone is 16, and in the future it will be increased to 24 and even 32 cells... So how many in total: 16, 24 or 32?

      In this case, these aren't just journalistic inventions or expert whims. Here, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is personally talking about increasing the missile arsenal by eight units.

    I don’t understand why there are more ships than corvettes in the Black and Baltic Seas?

    The Poliment-Redoubt and Palash are supposed to provide protection from aircraft, but what are they planning to do against UAVs and naval drones? In my opinion, they should strengthen their anti-drone weapons. When will we finally learn and fix our shortcomings? Or do we have a memory like a goldfish, and we forget about rakes right away?
