    Project 22160, new type of Patrol Corvette to be laid down tomorrow (Feb 26).

    Displacement: 1300 T
    Max speed:        30 knots
    Electronics:    Radars & Sonars
    Armament:     Artillery and missiles
    Mission    : Patrol, surveillance, protection

    Sounds like a replacement for the Albatros (Grisha) type boats.

    I think, that this ship is Russian equivalent of Littoral combat ship (LCS). This is a relatively new concept, so probably no.

    Russian Navy to Receive First of Six Patrol Ships by 2016

    The first of six new patrol ships designed to combat piracy in the Horn of Africa under the Russian Navy's project will enter into service by the end of 2016, according to Captain Ι Rank Vladimir Tryapichnikov.

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The first of six new patrol ships to combat piracy under the Russian Navy's project will enter into service by the end of 2016, the Navy Ship Building Directorate head, Captain Ι Rank Vladimir Tryapichnikov, said on Saturday.

    "Naturally, the ship was designed to combat piracy in the Horn of Africa. We have designed six ships of this class, and expect the first-in-class Vasily Bykov by the end of 2016," Tryapichnikov said in an interview with Ekho Moskvy radio station.

    "Patrol ships are really a novelty for the Navy. We analyzed the situation and understand that this ship should not be fitted with missile weapons, but fly the St. Andrew flag in different regions of the World Ocean," he elaborated.

    Tryapichnikov explained that the patrol ships will be armed with large- and small-caliber artillery systems, as well as speedboats and a helicopter.

    They say that it will have no missile systems but all models show these ships with missiles. What will they do with all that extra space?

    Being a patrol ship I would expect its armament would be fairly basic and the focus would be on endurance for months at a time.

    Rather than make the ship fast it will have helicopters and speed boat "launches" to do the high speed stuff.

    I would suspect a 76.2mm gun on the bow at most... possibly a 57mm gun instead, and one or two 30mm guns at the rear.

    They might fit Grad in case some shore bombardment is needed, but that would perhaps be overkill.

    the real armament of these ships will be a Ka-29, a Ka-52M and a light utility like the Ka-225T, which will offer speed and fire power to pretty much deal with any surface or even land threat...

    Obviously the vessel will have mounts for PKMs and Kords and 14.5mm KPVs and likely 30mm grenade launchers so any attack on the ship will be repelled with enormous fire power...

    The vessel wouldn't really need air defence... though a Gibka mount with Verba missiles would offer some capability and of course the two 30mm cannon could be Duet or Pantsir...


    Note I would add that I think the claim there will be no missiles on the boat is likely a translation issue and really means that unlike all the other new ships of the Russian Navy, these patrol boats wont be fitted with the UKSK cruise missile launcher...

    The most strange for me is that they built a ship especially for a kind of operations in a part of a world (piracy in Horn of Africa). And of course how a patrol ship can operate so far from Russia?

    And of course how a patrol ship can operate so far from Russia?

    the same way frigates and destroyers do now... they get regular supply from a nearby port... in the case of the Russian ships that would be from India.

    A custom designed anti pirate patrol ship would be designed for long operations... so lots of space for food storage and large ammo supply and fuel for the helos and UAVs.

    That is why a 76.2mm gun is a better idea than a bigger gun as the ammo is smaller so much more ammo can be carried... a 57mm gun would probably allow thousands of rounds to be carried rather than just hundreds for a larger calibre.

    The specs that are visible on the chart mention a displacement of 1700 T, a length of 91 m and an armament that includes:

    76 mm gun
    Igla-S SAM
    12.7 mm machine guns
    DP 64 and 65 anti diver grenade launchers
    Option of a "container" launched system

    So 57mm eliminated? and why 12,7 instead 14,5mm? Rolling Eyes I am disappointed.
    BTW any info if there is planned development of АК-176М2?

    Project 22160. Looks like it has two slots under helo deck, each for one Klub container with 4 missiles.

    That would make for 8 Klubs plus AA missiles and a main gun in the front and maybe torpedoes and pantsir or something similar, am I right?

    If yes, then it would be well rounded ship in my (naval noob) book...

    It seems that Russians are dropping 14,5mm in general, you can spot it around less and less. I guess its coz of price of ammo which is quite significant compared to .50 which is produced in bigger amounts which lowers the price and also the base price is alot lower.

    Russia’s New Corvettes to Be Armed With ISIL-Crushing Kalibr-NK Missiles

    Russia’s ability to land precision strikes on targets in Syria from the Caspian Sea – nearly 1,000 miles away – wowed military experts. Now the Russian Navy plans to incorporate Kalibr-NK land attack cruise missiles into its new Project 22160 patrol ships.

    Earlier this month, 26 cruise missiles were launched from Russian warships in the Caspian Sea. Traveling roughly 932 miles across the land, the projectiles struck 11 terrorist targets in Syria.

    Those missiles were Kalibr-NKs, also known as "The Sword of the Caspian," and they impressed even Western skeptics.

    "It should be a wakeup call that we don’t have a monopoly on the capability," Eric Wertheim, a US naval analyst, told the Daily Beast. He added that Moscow has joined "an exclusive club of global military powers. And that should worry the Pentagon."

    With the success, the Kremlin now plans to incorporate the Kalibr-NKs into its Project 22160 corvettes.

    "The successful salvoes…demonstrated the firepower of those missiles," said Alexander Karpov, First Deputy Director General of Gorky Zelenodolsk Shipyard, according to IHS Janes. "Besides, they take up little volume."

    "The striking range depends on the target, whether it is ground-based or naval, on the route of the missile and the ground obstacles it needs to go around," Rear Admiral Viktor Kochemazov told journalists on Saturday, "and, in total, amounts to 2,000 km."

    Prototypes of the corvette have already been on display at the Interpolitex-2015 exhibition in Moscow. These models show that the missile systems will consist of two separate containers, each outfitted with four missiles.

    With two of the 1,500-1,800 ton vessels already under construction, six are planned for the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet. The first, Vasily Bykov, is slated for launch in 2017, while Dmitry Rogachev is due out the following year.

    Another article on the new design. Appears the Russian Navy version is to carry a 2 x 4 lift launcher for Caliber missile system.

    Why do they opt for a pathetic SAM system for such ships?  Igla's missiles cannot reach even a drone in a lot of cases (3500m for Igla).  And the designation of using 9K38 is a very old missile (80's).  Nothing to fit larger missiles? What about Sosna-R?  Much higher altitutde and not much larger system.

    Seems air defense systems for many ships are near none existant and that ship is quite large, over 1,300 - 1,700 tons?  They can easily fit Sosna on there or increase VLS and add in Shtil-1.

    I think those figures are BS Franco.  Or the ship is a major ripoff (same performance as the smaller 1,000 ton Buyans but much larger).

    I agree the Air Defense is weak but everything I have seen suggests weapons to be like this except for the addition of the Caliber which has been rumored before.

    Yeah.  Very pathetic air defense system.  They are sitting ducks to predator drones in this case, and some this large should have something far better which they have available easily.
