Project 11711: "Ivan Gren" class

George1 wrote:Russian Navy will reduce the number of planned construction of ships of project 11711 (head "Ivan Gren") from six to two.

So "Peter Morgunov" will be the 2nd and the last one.

Makes sense. Priboy will be in the same class but will also carry helicopters. They probably need to clear out some space in dry docks.

They will finish these two because those old soviet troop carriers need replacement ASAP

АК-630М-2 installed on Ivan Gren

Fresh pic, looks like they added thing or two...or not, can't tell...

I am seriously starting to hate this ship, i just want it to be finished so i can stop reading about it... they make article about it every time they put mobile toilet for workers near it, seriously. I bet Pyramids were built faster than this ship O.o

I simply disliked 11711E class as it was a downgrade from what Russia possessed in terms of capability with 1174 and always considered it as a result of poor planning. Even though I still dislike it, I now want it to enter service as soon as possible and begin duty in Black sea fleet to augment the Russian supplies to Syria.

One ship of this class with limited payload capacity (how may Pantsir-S1 can it carry in lieu of 13 MBTs??) is too less but better than none. The planners have messed it big time, too much time wasted on it. If they had planned properly, Russian Navy would have had atleast two smaller and capable ships than pr.775 landing ships thats currently doing duty in the Mediterranean.

About fricking time.

If they decided to have 1 design, and stopped trying to make changes all the time, and just agreed as a large landing ship without all these offensive and defensive weapons, then there would probably be more than 1 already.

Given the fact that Syrian ''al voentorog'' is in full swing answer is obvious...

This is the latest photo (yesterday).
See the differences. It even has a bort number now.

Any update? I gues she will not be put in service until spring

Russia could really have done with these vessels transport capabilities for the Syrian situation.

The forward mounted CIWS is a DUET, no ?

Correct, АK-630М-2.

That's good news for the Navy and Russia, especially considering the Syrian deployment.

Finally the BSF gets powerful modern landing ship. I though I'd never see the day. The decision to complete it shows that there's still reason remaining in the russian navy leadership.

I hope they can use it ASAP in syria as an extra transport and as a show of force of the marines.
