    Construction of a large amphibious assault ship for the Russian Navy will begin in 2018
    18 Jan 2016 [01.21.2016 08:10:33]
    http://kret.com/en/news/10258/


    KRET plans to create an electronic warfare system for the new ship
    Construction is expected to begin in Russia in 2018 for a large universal landing ship and helicopter carrier. Captain First Rank Vladimir Tryapichnikov, the head of ship construction for the Russian Navy, discussed this on the radio station Russian News Service.

    "Of course, currently the ship, a large universal amphibious assault ship, is being designed by various organizations. We already have some achievements, as we have determined its appearance. Its realization will begin in 2018, when we start construction of the amphibious assault ship,” he said.

    As previously reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the first large landing ship (BDK) is expected to be built by 2020. The new generation of BDK ships are expected to have a displacement of about 16,000 tons.

    KRET is ready to develop new electronic warfare defense systems for the future Russian helicopter-carrier landing ships.

    KRET enterprises currently supply electronic warfare systems for all types of Navy ships, from boats to frigates. The equipment developed by KRET can be found on all the large surface ships of the Russian Navy, including the Moskva missile cruiser (Project 1164), Peter the Great heavy nuclear missile cruiser (Project 1144), and the Admiral Kuznetsov heavy aircraft-carrier cruiser (Project 11435). In addition, KRET enterprises have also helped equip the Talwar frigates built for the Indian Navy with electronic warfare systems.

    That looks like a good, achievable design. It would be very useful to have one or two in the pacific fleet to ensure a force can be moved to the Kuril islands quickly, if needs be.

    Russia is moving from very low to very high in this race.

    Starting with corvette sized vessels the new Russian corvettes with UKSK launchers can engage ships and subs and land based targets with large accurate missiles

    No cold war era corvette on any side has that capacity.

    Larger vessels are equipped with more launch tubes and better sensors and other supporting equipment.

    Once they have dealt with the problem of Ukrainian engines and propulsion systems they will be able to produce vessels much faster... the first vessels in a series always take the longest as everything needs to be thoroughly tested... from then on production should pick up dramatically.

    Yeah.  It isnt as simple as just starting production.  While some components of previous engines were Russian, they now have to make all components Russian.  I have seen pictures of an example engine that is modular for ships. Meaning bigger model of the same type and design meant much bigger output, etc.  It was quite impressive.  And it was a test from last year.  But it takes time to set up manufacturing of all the components and such.

    In mean time, they can always purchase Chinese as an example.

    I did not know Ukrainian parts had such a big impact on Russia but it is very good because now it will force Russia to become self sufficient.

    Ill put it like this in a scenario:

    So I am building a boat and need an engine for it.  I dont hve the full production of it myself so I need to acquire it.  Would I purchase one that is already made, fairly cheap to obtain amd I have built various other boats with same engine, so I have more experience in fixing it? Or do I purchase one from someone else for a higher price with no experience in maintencance? Or should I spend the initial cost in building and designing my own and take the longer time and eat into costs due to lack of sales inbetween?

    You see, the reasoning is, Ukraine was once a friendly nation to Russia until the US grubby hands got involved.  Ukraine was relatively reliable in the engine sales to Russia and production existed since soviet times.  So it all made sense.  Now? Well, this is good for Russia now that the engines will be their own, and means more money for themselves, but at same time too, have to make the initial investment and development that will eat into the profits and building time initially.  Sucks but much needed.

    Let me take it a little bit further.

    Previous generation Russian/Soviet naval vessels were custom made for a very specific role.

    The Sovremmeny Destroyer was designed specifically to destroy AEGIS class cruisers... it carried 8 Moskit anti ship missiles that flew below 7m above the wave tops, so in the 1980s, when the standard SAM on the AEGIS class cruisers was the Standard-2 SAM which could not hit targets below 7m above the wave tops the only defence the American vessel had was its Phalanx CIWS. The Phalanx CIWS is a 20mm calibre gatling gun firing rounds at about 4,500rpm that are sub calibre rounds... in other words the actual projectile is 12.7mm calibre. Its effective range was from 500m to 1,800m... an incoming 4.5 ton missile with a warhead protected by titanium armour plate angled to deflect incoming rounds would be in that danger zone for a few seconds only... changes are the warhead would not be hit so even if the missile what "shot down" it would still hit the ship and explode.

    In other words it was ideal for the job it was designed for.

    A similar size and developed at a similar time, the Udaloy had completely different propulsion and completely different armament and was optimised for use against Subs.

    With the new multirole standardisation, new destroyers can carry the weapon load of either vessel... or both in its UKSK launcher able to carry anti sub missiles, anti ship missiles, and also conventional land attack missiles which no Soviet Navy vessel carried.

    The problem as mentioned above is that a factory that used to produce engines and engine parts for Soviet ships is now in a foreign unfriendly country.

    It is not enough to just say... OK we will just make these engines and parts ourselves.

    The factory that will make the parts was already making parts and engines, so expanding their factories and tooling up to make different engines takes time and money and has to be done in a way to avoid effecting existing production.

    The fact that they might start producing the new engines in 2017 or 2018 does not mean they will be able to suddenly produce them at the rate the Ukrainians were making them with their mature production facilities and existing work force.

    Of course the new production facilities can be made new and state of the art and upgrades to existing engines can be made where it doesn't effect their compatibility with those boats already built.

    They will likely also have a backlog of components they will need to make for their existing engines and power systems to keep them operating properly too.

    the point is however that now that these systems are all made in russia then investing money in new production and new designs stays in Russia, and the work created with new designs stays in Russia too.

    They are no longer subsidising the Ukraine, or its industry... the west can have that burden now.

    I am really hoping they wanted to say 14-16 helicopters... coz 4-6 does not make much sense. I see two elevators, there is no logic for it to operate only 4 helicopters.

    They look like two totally different ships, however that chart was supplied with that model, so... i am just reading what i see and i am very confused. Lavina project is supposed to be what we are looking at.

    Priboi is the lower one you posted (Rotterdam look alike). That one will have 4-6 helicopters. In fact this is what will most likely "replace" Ivan Gren-class in the shipyard roster.

    We were all going into details during that Navy Expo in St. Pete last year, I'll try to track down the page but no promises...

    EDIT: found this on RT

    ......Lavina will have a full load displacement of 24,000 tons, as opposed to 21,300 tons for the French-designed ship. It will also have a maximum speed of 22 knots, compared to 19 knots for the Mistrals, two of which were ordered by the Russian Navy four years ago.

    Just like the Mistral, Lavina will house 16 helicopters, about 50 armored vehicles (about 10 fewer than the French amphibious assault vessel) and a potential six smaller boats, as opposed to the Mistrals' four. All figures are likely rough estimates, with numerous variables, and it is unclear how advanced the Lavina blueprints are at the current stage.......

    almost 3000t bigger displacement and less vehicles? unless they mean 4 tanks instead of APCS on French I got it but otherwise what is that displacement needed for? a nuclear reactor? fuel? armament?

    is multi-role always a good thing ?
    I'm not sure in a big war I think purpose built ships but more of them are probably better as you can afford to lose a few without it significantly depleting your resources and striking power
    Plus less fatigue on the crews and ships if they are doing all kinds of missions in wartime

    multi-role appeal is more in smaller localized brief conflicts

    correct me if im wrong

    is multi-role always a good thing ?

    Having ships weak in some areas and strong in others means your ships are only effective in groups where every capability is present.

    With larger ships there is the capacity to have more capabilities even if they will normally operate with smaller ships that can add capabilities too.

    I'm not sure in a big war I think purpose built ships but more of them are probably better as you can afford to lose a few without it significantly depleting your resources and striking power
    Plus less fatigue on the crews and ships if they are doing all kinds of missions in wartime

    Having specialised ships means if you take a few losses you might find yourself vulnerable.

    Imagine if all your anti sub ships are taken out with anti ship missiles... suddenly your fleet is very vulnerable to enemy subs...

    Also with dedicated role ships how many of each do you need? Remember these need to be spread around several fleets and different fleets have different needs.

    Having a ship that has sensors to detect targets and threats in the air on the water and under the water and weapons to deal with such threats and targets means you can just build one or two types in large numbers and arm them according to the roles they will be needed for.

    multi-role appeal is more in smaller localized brief conflicts

    For any conflicts your vessels will need to perform all sorts of roles... a group of four ships that are able to perform any role needed when needed is more useful than a group of 4 ships with two anti sub, and two anti surface vessel.

    Imagine two Sovremmenys and two Udaloys... each has decent air defence, but the Udaloy has 8 anti sub missiles that can be used against surface ships, while the Sovremmenys have 8 anti ship missiles and a decent medium range SAM.

    Now Imagine 4 Gorshkov Frigates each with anti sub and anti ship and land attack Klubs and Kalibrs... 16 missiles each.

    8 Subsonic torpedo delivery missile SS-N-14 Silex per Udaloy for a total of 16 missiles from two boats. 8 Supersonic Moskits SS-N-22 per Sov for a total of 16 missiles on the two boats.

    In comparison the 4 Gorshkov frigates can EACH carry 8 rocket powered mach 2.5 ballistic rockets able to deliver a torpedo payload up to 40km from the ship in seconds AND 8 supersonic Onyx anti ship missiles, for a total of 64 missiles from the four Frigates... that is double the main armament fire power of the group of 4 Destroyers.

    More importantly they will have Sigma, a command, control, communications network system that allows them to share data and get other data from other platforms in the area including subs, ships, aircraft, and satellites and land stations.

    true but in this case you are comparing 80s era technology with todays , what I meant was in the heyday of specilaized ships 70s and 80s they were borne of neccesaity esp given they were needed to fulfill multiple roles in a large scale conflict

    e.g lets says a full scale naval war between Japan and USSR
    They both need lots of naval platform for
    1-escorting convoys ( ASW) and AAW
    2-attacking hostile enemy vessels and SAG mostly ASUW
    3-ASW picket duty guarding SSBN bastions
    some of these roles will have high attrition and lets say if there are fewer specilaized ships they will be stretched to the max but if more cheaper and specilaized platforms they can be used to fulfill specific roles and have some attrition reserve without significntly depleting the overall fighting capability of the fleet

    wHILE the fleet with a smaller number of specialized ships would be hard pressed to stretch out their assests over multiple fronts

    However in a very local or single engagement specilaized ships can be a big advantge e.g
    JSDF 3 destroyers with 8 harpoon/ASROC and SAM capability would be matched by 3 ASW destroyers 3 ASuW rocket ships

    Your thoughts

    The difference is not so much technology... there is nothing 21st C about the Onyx or Klub and the main thing that separates the Kalibr is the terminal guidance which takes its accuracy down to levels where a conventional warhead could be used... it could as easily have had a TV guidance system for terminal guidance like the Kh-29T.

    The real breakthrough has been a universal launcher for the main armament and the new SAMs that will used unified launchers.

    newer ships can have armaments that mix weapons to enable a wider range of targets to be engaged. This of course requires a wide range of sensors as well but with their C4IR system sharing information they should all be more aware of the situation around them.

    JSDF 3 destroyers with 8 harpoon/ASROC and SAM capability would be matched by 3 ASW destroyers 3 ASuW rocket ships

    I don't think that would be a match... and I think the chances of Harpoon and Subroc would be rather poor, while those 3 ASuW vessels... if they are Sovremmenys would have a very good chance of defeating any enemy Destroyer of the age.

    The expert explained why the Russian Navy needs landing helicopter ship

    Krylovskiy Center developed the concept of amphibious assault ship type "Priboj", the displacement of which is estimated at 23 thousand tons

    Kubinka / Moscow region /, September 8. / TASS /. The Russian Navy needs four amphibious assault ships, one of which is required for a permanent group in the Mediterranean, said Head of Development of military-technical cooperation Krylov State Research Center Yuri Eremin.

    Krylovskiy Center developed the concept of amphibious assault ship type "Priboj", the displacement of which is estimated at 23 thousand tons. The ship has to carry up to 900 Marines with the technique, and its air group of 16 helicopters.

    For the Northern Fleet is needed one such ship for the Pacific Fleet - two.
    Given the increased importance of the Mediterranean - a permanent grouping of ships it operates - one ship should be put on the Black Sea fleet, although this is not necessary for the ship of the Black Sea Fleet. For the Baltic Fleet also does not make sense to build a ship of this class, Yuri Eremin Head of Development of military-technical cooperation Krylov State Research Center

    According to him, the interest in "profit" in the Russian navy has, "but it is no solution."

    The cost of one ship of this type, according to experts, will be 40-45 billion rubles in current prices. To build such ships may be on the Baltic Shipyard "Yantar" in Kaliningrad or "Severnaya Verf" in St. Petersburg.

    Now the Russian Navy has not amphibious assault ships.

    Helicopter type "Mistral", commissioned in France in 2011, and has not been supplied RF. In the United Shipbuilding Corporation said that domestic shipyards may create an analogue of "Mistral".

    In late July, the Deputy Navy Commander Victor Bursuc said that the terms of reference on the amphibious assault ship has already been prepared.
