Will they be build only for Caspian Sea or they will also serve in other fleets, like Black Sea or Baltic?

I think they will serve in both Baltic and Black sea, there is a need of modernisation of the old Tarantula boats.

5th 21631 Byan-M to be laid down before Spring 2013- named "Serpuhov"

5th Project 21631 missile corvette has been laid down.
Name is Serpukhov.

A-190-01 main gun and AK-630M-2 DUET gatling dual gun already mounted on Grad Sviazhk corvette project 21631.
Also visble is the GIBKA mount behind the DUET.

Thanks Armenian, good to see Duet make service.

Gentlemen, an elementary question



So here we have the Christening of the new Buyan-M class small artillery ship 'Makhachkala'.

What I want to know is about that Grad-M launcher over there; do those hatches beneath the rocket pods open up for the rocket pods to slip into and be automatically reloaded by some below-deck mechanism?
I would assume this to be the case.
This ship would be really be able to dish out a large amount of firepower in a short period of time.

Yes, but I don't think the mechanism reloads an entire pod at one time- it just shoves in new rockets - hopefully several at a time.

The Byans are pretty heavily armed for a ship of 500 tons.

Interesting video about the Makhachkala:

Both the Uglich and Sviazhsk in the water.

It seems they build Buyan-M ships quite quickly. As I know they order additional 3 ships. Will they be for Black Sea fleet?

They are all for Caspian Flotilla

Apparently Buyan-M "Grad Sviyazhsk" had first missile tests of Kalibr-NK in Caspian

It is usually the other Croatian guy who gets the lion's share of my votes  
I voted for your post as a welcome.

Nice ship it is.

Quite a beastly ship for the size.

New kids on the block.

Zelenodolsk got another contract for 3 Byan-Ms.

Guess where they are going.
