"City Sviyazhsk" in completion

In the community “We carry the St. Andrew’s flag” of the VKontakte web resource, a photo of the 21631 (Buyan-M) project’s small rocket ship Grad Sviyazhsk appeared, which was being completed afloat at the A. Zelenodolsk Shipbuilding Plant named after A.M. Gorky. The ship (building number 631) was laid down at the 27 plant on August 2010 of the year and launched without wide publicity on 9 March 2013. The transfer of "The City of Sviyazhsk" is scheduled for 2013 year, and judging by the picture, the ship is already in a high degree of readiness.

A total of five ships of this type are being built in Zelenodolsk for the Russian Navy. The contract for the construction of the lead small rocket ship of the 21631 project (the future Grada Sviyazhsk) was signed by OAO Zelenodolsk Shipbuilding Plant named after AM Gorky with the Russian Ministry of Defense 28 in May 2010. In addition to Grad Sviyazhsk, the company currently has four other ordered ships, Uglich (building number 632, laid 22 on July 2011 of the year, launched 10 on April 2013,), Veliky Ustyug (building number 633, laid 27 August 2011 of the year), "Green Dol" (building number 634, laid 29 August 2012 of the year) and "Serpukhov" (building number 635, laid 25 January 2013 of the year).

In total, a series of five ships of this type is being built for the Russian Navy in Zelenodolsk

Five times is great news ...

[Rustam]

Excellent ship

For actions in the coastal zone, you don’t need anything more, and Zelenodoltsy keep pace
this is not a Sev shipyard where ships of 2 tons turn into long-term construction for many years (for 8 or more years)

Zelenodoltsy also handed over two ships to Vietnam and completed the flogman of the Caspian flotilla of Dagestan

The previous 3 ships, the previous Buyan project, were built by the St. Petersburg company Almaz, the ships serve in the Caspian.

[Arberes]

For the Caspian, soon it will be possible not to worry!
In general, well done GREENMERS! But the tonnage of products must be increased!

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Damn this is the Caspian much more then. Especially according to Western classification, this MRC is just a corvette.

An update of the Caspian flotilla should occur. Old ships and boats for scrapping, new with a needle in the ranks! And then Zelenodolsky shipbuilding can execute orders not only for the Caspian!
Production is debugged, excellent equipment and staff!
The Caspian region is really serious, WE must dominate there!

[Bronis]

So the Caspian Flotilla has already been significantly updated. Two patrol boats "Cheetah" in 2003 and 2012. MAK - of 4 pcs. - three new "Buyan". AT
in general, rather old missile and artillery boats (only 8 or 9 units), but they will probably be changed to Buyany-M (so far the plans are 5 units). Replacement is not direct - the Buyans have more tonnage and armament. Landing boats: relatively fresh "Chamois". The Dugongs began to arrive.
And Zelenodolsk is going to work not only for the Caspian

[Arberes]

Quote: Bronis

quite age rocket and artillery boats

This is what I mean!
4-5 units is enough !?

[Bronis]

Enough or not is a question for the competent circles. In general, the Buyanov-M will increase the strike capabilities of the flotilla. Boats there (rocket) 206 project. Two missiles P-15M + AK-176 + AK-630. Displacement of about 250 tons. Artillery boats - BM-14 (MLRS) + Cannon from PT-76, some anti-aircraft artillery. Displacement less than 100 tons.
Buyan-M is an RTO, it can be classified as a corvette - about 1000 tons. 8 PU for "Caliber" or "Onyx". Impact weapons cannot be compared. The autonomy is higher and the seaworthiness is better. In general, Iran recently called a ship of a similar size a destroyer ... but this is politics. And the series 5, most likely, will not be limited. We have problems with building larger ships. "Buyans" are already in the series. Perhaps we will see them soon at the Black Sea Fleet. A series of 10-15 ships can and will be. 5 pcs - under construction.

NOT BAD, NOT BAD !!!

[mizantropi]

The Caspian region is very important for Russia. both geopolitically and from the point of view of the economy (hydrocarbons, bioresources, transport, trade, etc.) Strengthening the fleet in the Caspian, in our turbulent time, is a very correct policy.

We and they need resources, but to protect and preserve us.

BEAUTY! Looking forward to a friendship visit!

I agree, they need more ... the adversaries are not asleep, and the country is huge.

Let the adversaries sleep sweetly
Our Fleet RUSSIAN will be updated!

NATO wakes up, in the throat drawbar
RUSSIAN Frigates-went to the seas!

I hope the destroyers will come out in the near future!
regin -I greet you

[sub307]

I don’t remember: there is a “caliber” complex on 21631? A good complex. The potential "foes" in the Caspian Sea seem to have no analogues.

[queen]

There is no analogue of RUSSIAN, now let's look at Europe)))))))))

[Vtel]

Judging by the raids of the Wild West, it’s very necessary to go to the Caspian now, it will soon smell fried.

[sub307]

Yeah ... All in stock
The armament is good if it plows without problems:
Artillery
1 × 100 mm AU A-190 Universal, 2 machine gun mounts 14,5 mm, 3 machine gun mounts 7,62 mm
Flak
1 30-mm ZAK AK-630M-2 "Duet"

Missile weapons
1 × 8 Caliber or Onyx
2 launchers 3M-47 "Bending" with SAM "Needle" or "Needle

triple ur! Hooray! Hooray!

[Reserve buildbat]

Fivefold

[sub307]

This is what was meant: Unlike its prototype, a small artillery ship of project 21630, the MRK has almost twice as much displacement (949 tons against 500 tons) and is armed with a vertical launcher of the 3R-14UKSK complex for 8 anti-ship missiles Caliber ”Or“ Onyx ”, allowing to strike with precision-guided cruise missiles at both sea and ground targets.
In general, the "Caspian adversaries" are "karachun".

[bor187]

Will all 5 RTOs be in the Caspian?

[PLO]

Buyan-M only for the Caspian.
for other TVDs, the lack of PLO is a big drawback

Do you think Iran will not develop a submarine fleet in the Caspian?

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

And where there will be uh to swim?

[Vanya Ivanov]

The Caspian is not at all a small sea with decent depths and submarines in the old days of the USSR were there.

[Army1]

The World Cup of the Russian Navy will receive them, too.

[PLO]

The World Cup of the Russian Navy will receive them, too.

I doubt ..
in any case, I really hope not.
such ships on the Black Sea Fleet and other fleets are not needed.
poor seaworthiness, lack of anti-aircraft defense and weak anti-aircraft weapons.

I really hope that they will build 3 more ships for the Caspian Sea (except for these 5) and end on this
and then they will begin to build one new OVR corvette, in exchange for our RTOs and IPC

[Orel]

It’s good, of course, what they are building, BUT 2 YEARS ON THE SHIP WITH A LOWER UNIT OF LESS THAN 1 tons? It is clear that after the devastation of the 000s, we are learning to build ships again, but somehow we need to do something about it ...

[Andrey57]

Anti-submarine weapons are also necessary - Iran already has small submarines in the Caspian.

[Kinsman]

How nice to read and learn such news !!! More to such !!!

[VohaAhov]

"Grad Sviyazhsk" is the first serial ship. And the head - "Uglich". Both ships are due to join the CFL this year. There is also a contract for the construction of three more ships of this type. For some reason, the forum calls these ships coastal. However, these guys can deliver high-precision strikes within a radius of 1500 km (and according to some sources - 2500 km). Being in the Caspian Sea, RTOs keep the whole of Iran and most of Turkey at gunpoint. I'm not even talking about such trifles as Georgia, Azerbaijan, etc. So these ships can be placed on the same level as the Iskander (in terms of its R-500 cruise missile), and, to some extent, with the Tu-95 and Tu-160 (in the X-555 part)

[little man]

It is coastal. Although the armament is not bad, but autonomy is small for 10 days, it is not important for fuel or food. And even in a serious storm it’s fun to fall on it!

Columbian caravels had even less displacement. And he was not afraid of storms. Our sailors are no less courageous.

[little man]

It's like that. But it will be just an incompetent air-conditioner. Imagine when one sailor watches for three, the other two greened bodies are confined to a berth.

[individual]

We wish the new ship "Grad Sviyazhsk" clean water
and bright sky under the St. Andrew’s flag of Russia!

[Dromac]

Good luck to our shipbuilders. Strengthen all fleets as high as possible

[homosum20]

Great news.
The Americans ordered 7 Arleigh Burke destroyers to bring their number to seventy-five. Bullshit.
Good luck to our shipbuilders.
Apart from good luck "Gradu ...." against "Arlie ...." nothing shines.

[mizantropi]

Maybe we will not compare the hell with a finger !? Arly Berkov in the Caspian Sea can never be.

Quote: homosum20

Due to numerical superiority or technical?

[Billy Bones]

The news is certainly not bad, but the timeline ... Laid down in August 2010. Now it's 2013. During the same time, the French promise to build the Mistral. You can't work like that, comrades, you can't.

[Uncle Lyosha]

Dear, the above term is a little inaccurate, if you throw out the time that the building was in the shop (without work on it), then it will come out just a year and 3 months. In general, as an employee of this enterprise, I will say that the ship is rather damp in the design sense, the design bureau has not been finalized a little. The high command likes the ship for its relatively small dimensions with such weapons, and the team will have to get used to these very "small dimensions", to be honest, a LITTLE cramped on the ship squeezed in a lot.

[Comrade1945]

You, of course, don’t get me wrong, friends, but it seems to me that the name of the ship went too far ...

[1c-inform-city]

In my opinion, the use of weapons on these ships is provided for up to 5 points, so that with seaworthiness they are doing well. Due to cramped space, the old MRK type Mirage has something more or seaworthiness. I think 10 pcs. on the Black Sea Fleet is quite out of place.
