    If it wanted...???

    So what you are actually saying is that weapons development and integration is not about testing and solutions, it is about wants and throwing money at problems?

    Microsoft still can't put out an operating system that is bug free and in comparison a modern warship with all new components is orders of magnitude more complex with millions of interactions.

    Gorshkov is delayed because it is not ready for service yet and apart from you whiny fanbois complaining because it is taking too long, what other reason do they have to rush it into service not ready?

    Sometimes there are no adequate or obvious solutions and a vessel enters service with problems.

    Look at the front end of the Kiev class carriers... they kept changing them to get the airflow over the air strip sorted out, but that was a different time.
    if they are going to make 20 or so Gorshkovs then it makes sense to get the first one right and working before making another 19 the same.

    These are Frigates and will not lead the fight against NATO... the Yars will do that and its funding and performance seem to be just fine.

    It is not even just a question of getting all the systems and sensors working together, they also have to tweek them so they are working as good as they can and then actually getting them into production so they can be ready to make them for the serially produced ships.

    How many Gorshkovs would be part of a typical strike group in the near future?

    I would suggest it strongly depends on what other platforms are available... a full strength Russian Navy would likely take few Frigates with a surface action group as they would limit their range and speed.

    What is the deal with this ship ? You could build the pyramids in the time it takes to complete it. Is it ever going to get commissioned ?

    No, it is never going to be commissioned... it is a big hoax.

    this is a frigate... there is no enormous hurry for such vessels, though getting them into service would be a very good thing, as they could retire a lot of older vessels when these ships are operational.

    it will save a lot of money to just get the first vessel right 100% so that few changes are needed with later models.

    I suspect they wont put any ship in mass production any time soon till they have the gas turbines produced in Russia ready for mass production too.

    Finally! Well, it will be the moment of the truth. What was the main cause of the delay?

    I hope that with the main gun installed, the vessel will be fit for service.

    AFAIK gun had problems with stability during development , even with the gun , ship will have to undergo state trials before it`s really fit for service. It can take time because Gorshkov is really first big ship with new post-Soviet tech.

    At least it has had time to "mature" during these gun delays... It should pass trials in a breeze.

    the important thing is that this will be a standard gun for Frigates.

    We don't know whether the 152mm calibre gun is for destroyers or only for cruisers, so for now if this gun passes its tests and performs as hoped they will put it into serial production and be able to pump out ships at a much faster rate with a much shorter trials period and much faster production.

    Simply more firepower. A-190 for Talwar and Grigorovich class is 100 mm , while A-192M for Gorshkov class is 130 mm

    Whats the use of this guns?

    For attacking pirates? I cannot imagine any event that such gun will be used in combat against a major modern navy.. Is not like a Kashtan gatlin gun that can counter cruise missiles. attacks of modern navies are done are beyond visual range.  And the Gun do not looks like could be used as Artillery in support for troops.. Far much better will have been a Rail Gun with 200km range.. it can also be used to shutdown planes or as artillery at far distances for ground troops support.

    The 130mm calibre guns fire guided shells that could be used against ground and air and sea targets.

    If you want a large fishing trawler to stop 30mm cannon shells will do nothing... an anti ship missile is over kill... a few 130mm shells in the water behind the vessel will stop it quickly enough with a low chance of actually killing anyone.

    enemy ground forces can also be quite dangerous... a tank sitting on a beach can hit an object the size of a frigate out to enormous ranges... with guided shells this frigate can shoot back.

    Why not a rail gun?

    Because they don't exist yet in an operational form... you might as well ask why they put cruise missile launchers on board when they could put laser cannons.

    A gun is a very versatile and cheap weapon that can take on a range of targets and can deliver a warning shot... unlike missiles.

    Don't forget this vessel will spend a lot of time in coastal areas where radar coverage is effected by local terrain and various targets can suddenly appear.
