Project 22800: "Karakurt" class missile ship #2

TSIKLON has been accepted into service yesterday.
Hoisting the Andreevsky fleet will occur on 7 July 2023

Hoisting the flag ceremony on the TSIKLON been postponed by a few days due to the lack of Navy representatives (they are in China).

The flag raising ceremony took place today: TSIKLON is now in the Black Sea Fleet.

People say that the 3 Karakurts towed to Pella shipyard for completion have not seen any progress.

Yet, this picture reveals that one of them received a radar radome (after receiving its 76mm gun earlier).

Russian Navy to Receive Three Karakurt-Class Small Missile Ships in 2023

The Russian Navy plans to receive three small missile ships of project 22800 Karakurt in 2023 that are able to conduct high precision missile strikes, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Monday.

These ships are able to conduct high precision missile strikes against critical objects on land and enemy ships in sea in the near sea zone.

"In July, the Black Sea fleet received serial ship Cyclone. Three ships are expected to be commissioned to the navy by the end of this year. Two more will be commissioned in 2024," Shoigu reported.

I assume the other 2 to be received this year are Askold and Burya , which should be commissioned august-november.

Tsiklon was received earlier this month, that would make it 3, unless he means 3 in addition to Tsiklon     don't see it as there are no other ships already doing sea trials and it takes a year to trial these ships

And then by next year I guess Shoigu is saying 2 more will undergo sea trials and acceptance

Good to see these ships pick up pace

Black Sea and Baltic would get their fleets filled out with these

Future Baltic Fleet's Project 22800 Karakurt-class corvette Kaluga (578), (ex. Burya), spotted today in St. Petersburg, heading to Kronstadt to continue the sea trials.
Renaming from Burya to Kaluga was announced in February and is supposed to take place this year.
Together with Kaluga, another Baltic Fleet's Project 21631 Buyan-M-class corvette Grad (575) will be renamed to Tarusa


"Kaluga" is also the name of a Kilo class submarine of North Fleet, so this means that this submarine probably have been decomissioned

RZHEV and UDOMLYA will be launched later this year in the Far East:

[Izd. 22800] Amour Shipyard, RTO Izd.22800 S/n 201 Rzhev and S/n 202 Udomlya will be removed from the workshop and launched in autunm of 2023.
The hull has already been tested and presented to the customer, its part submarine has been painted, large equipment has been installed

So this is interesting, from about 1 minute 35 second on is the section on the Karakurt and the next section is about its propulsion system...



The video includes mention of an upgraded Karakurt ship that can carry the new reduced size Zircon hypersonic missile...

This is the 22800, Askold, which was in Kerch shipyard before being hit by Storm Shadow

I think the damage itself doesn't matter, if there was an engine on board, just put it into another hull, after all many of these were just waiting around for engines so the loss of a hull is not a big deal

That is if there was an engine in the first place

If Askold didn't even have one, then it's not even a problem in the first place

I understand why people are upset but damn I dont think people realize that Ukraine is working in concert with the west and the best intelligence and intel systems they got. On top of this you have sophisticated decoys with top tier cruise missiles and tactical rockets in these attacks which come at the most opportune times.

And on top of this you have retarded Russians that have no clue that this conflict is totally justified in Russia's favor but instead buy into western propaganda and sell their countrymen out in leaking the images.

I don't think it's a big deal, it's a river ship , what is a river ship?

Just put the engine on the other hulls and move on
