Russian Navy: Status & News #4

Yup, something like those two. How many of them RuNy actually have?

Preparing of Tu 204 for that job would also be wise imho.

Tu-204 would be certainly good but I guess there is always a third way: Be-42

Russia decided to resume production of the largest aflayingboat

Original had range 4000/5500 ferry /10 t payload. Was designed to do ASW job. If they modernize + new engines Im sure Be-40 can do better

The Russian Maritime Doctrine of 2015 said that by 2020 a new model of maritime patrol aircraft must be in production.

It was stated like 3 years ago that the alternative selected for maritime patrol was a platform including the Be-42 A-40 and the Be-200.

Russia is advancing with it, and very likely will offer the option to export.

For the Russian Armed Forces, I do not expect orders completed of these aircrafts, and even to see orders signed is very unlikely, because this solution will be outdated in like 5 years. It would not make sense when a new concept of maritime patrol is coming fast.

Maybe an early prototype still, but we saw the new way for maritime patrol in the Army 2018 Forum:

At the Army-2018 forum, Scientific & Production Association "Aviation Systems" presented a helicopter-type UAV. Type TARK-7002 tactical air reconnaissance system is being developed for the Russian Navy’s needs.

TARK-7002 is capable to perform reconnaissance and provide target acquisition for naval forces. Its optoelectronic system is equipped with a set of sensors, including IR and video cameras. Takeoff weight of the drone is 850 kg, payload is up to 195 kg, max speed is 220 kph, cruise speed is 184 kph.

Very likely different options of helicopter and tiltrotor VTOL aircrafts of different sizes and ranges will be developed to be usable from every combat ship.

Looks like KAMAZ purchased license from China to manufacture some naval engines, can someone elaborate?

He pointed out that it will showcase the Northern Fleet’s ability to reach the Okhotsk Sea from its bases in Murmansk, navigating eastward for thousands of miles through the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean on Russia’s northern rim. ..
Everything suggests that Vostok 2018 will offer Russia the opportunity to both test and showcase its improved capabilities – reasserting once again its status as a military superpower that can deploy in the east as well as the west.

It will be interesting to find which ships will go there.

Is that Chinese frigate type 54A at 1:11?!

Is that Chinese frigate type 54A at 1:11?! Very Happy

The Dutch are involved in the exercise, very nice indeed.

Looks like old nuke storage facilities have reached their expiration date:

Despite bombastic title surprisingly reasonable article all things considered...

word!

And if Trump accepts their invitation and goes to Russia will they be buying that too?

With the capacity for two medium helos... what would be the point?

They have developed the Ka-52K and I suspect they want a Mistral capacity vessel or bigger and better armed to operate them from...

Yes and even if they'd want vessel in the approximately same size, they've developed Ivan Gren class. I bet it's way cheaper to buy domestic made vessels than South Korean.

The BRP ‘Tarlac’ LD-601, an amphibious transport dock  of #Philippine Navy arrived in the #Vladivostok, #Russia.

There are problems in the defense of the sea borders of Russia

At present, the frigate of the Black Sea Fleet “Admiral Makarov” (has on board 8 cruise missiles of the “Caliber-NK” type, similar to “Tomahawk”) is already passing the Bosphorus, returning to Sevastopol. On September 2, the small squadron of Project 21631 (code “Buyan-M”) “Grad Sviyazhsk” and “Veliky Ustyug” (each with 8 “Calibers”) left the squadron. Thus, if earlier the Mediterranean grouping of the Russian Navy had just over 10 pennants, now it has shrunk by a third.
By the way, 56 Caliber missiles accounted for the entire group. Now the number of cruise missiles, apparently, was reduced to 32.

The main theme of the article is subs, specifically most of the subs are Soviet era, in need of replacement &/or in (slow) upgrade/repair, replacement builds have been slow (barely keeping up with retirement of old subs) & the constant issue that while Russia/USSR has/had one of the top navies in the world the fact it has to be split across 5+ widely dispersed fleets means that each fleet is relatively weak compared to its near neighbours.

Its not wrong but its also not new info

and what year of the Soviet era?

Most of those soviet era vessels are still more than enough.

Which moron wrote this piece? There a fighter jets, ASW planes, likely subs and land-based anti-ship missiles. More than enough to defend this so-called sea border.

Maybe now, but in 15-20 years max., they'll all must be replaced.
Plus bigger #s r need to make up for & save$ for shortage of large surface ships that will persist for decades more.
