    In St. Petersburg, continue to work on a project perspective destroyer "Leader" for the Russian Navy

    It was reported that the displacement of "leaders" can be from 10 to 15 thousand tons, and the ship can get an atomic power plant. According to a source TASS destroyer were armed with cruise missiles "Caliber" and "Onyx" or their modifications, as well as anti-aircraft missile system S-500, capable of destroying, including weapons in space.

    This isn't a criticism of the Leader btw. I am sure that with its missile systems unparalleled anywhere in the World, it will set the standard for all rivals for the next couple of decades, atleast.
    Just a query about the look of it, and how that might pertain to function.

    Perhaps stealth is a bit overhyped by some rivals?

    The Visby class is primarly not an ocean going warship, its custom made for operating along the Swedish coast and in the baltic. Its main advantage is stealth, and its concentrating on that.
    For examaple the ship havent got AA missiles. Fast hit then hide behind an island, like old time torpedo boats.

    The Zummmvalt i see as an prototype, maybe an expensive failure. If iam not wrong, main task is bombarding, gun support in landing operations.

    The Leader is not to be a new "lada" test prototyp, but a top of the line Destroyer. Therefore it will be more of an evolution of Gorshkov i think, not a revolutionary new design.

    Haha, I've been saying all along that the destroyers will get S-500 systems.

    Mobile ABM defense What a Face

    In the future those nuclear reactors can be used to power ABM lasers too. The ships will position itself close enough to launch silos to target the ICBMs during short boost phase, or in the regions where enemy SSBNs would be suspected to launch their SLBMs from.
    There is no need to be too precise; as long as they're within 1000km or so the earth's curvature will still be shallow enough to allow the missiles to be targetted and the laser would still be powerful enough to burn through to their unshielded propellant tanks and wreck havoc on their propulsion or cause the destruction of the missiles altogether..

    That thing has absolutely NOTHING to do with Leader.

    The details of what Leader will have and not have are not even finalized.

    Supposedly the next-generation aircraft carrier/battlecruiser which is slated to have a displacement of 85 K tons, but don't get your hopes up, it won't be sailing oceans before 2030.

    On another forum it is stated that that video is of a Russian company that refines designs but doesn't design boats itself.

    In other words another company gives them a design with all the parts and bits they need and this company refines the design to optimise it.

    In other words these are prototype shapes that may never see service... the designs presumably are handed back to the designing company for production refinement and then submitted to the navy for approval/criticism.

    12 * 4 = 48 very large cells (though there fit hypersonic Zircon, though 4 Onyx / X-101, a total of 192 missiles).

    In total, 108 very large missiles or up to 432 smaller ones.

    It's just a proposed design, at the end of the day Ru Navy and Ru MOD has the final say, and they could just as easily reject the design. I would like to be an optimist, but their's no telling with the Ru Navy, the domestic ship building industry needs major improvement, there's no other way around it.

    Navy is not taking proposals for an overall design from those guys.

    That ridiculous Pagoda superstructure would not even pass an initial stage of being considered.

    The particular bureau in question does hydrodynamic testing, nothing else.

    Such Structure are seen on Western Ships and even on Indian newest P-15A Destroyer with Israel AESA.

    The Russian design of the structure is more angled and less cluttered. I see nothing wrong with the design.

    Ofcourse it can be refined further to make it less cluttered and more curvy i.e no Sharp Edges.

    Lets see , I wont say its a bad design this is very good design but needs refinement.

    Why is such a big mast necessary anyway, except making a ship with one incredibly hideous? Will russian future radars really be so bulky that they need this big christmas tree thingy to carry them?

    hideous?! i say glorious!!! the colonial europeans never won over the uncivilized world when they pulled into shores in anything but huge masted ships, while the conquered peoples only had pathetic excuses for masts at best, mostly they had oars. kidding aside if they could make it real stealthy the increased range of radar horizon is prolly reason for taller masts. they are that bulky since they are supposed to be real powerful- lots of attendant systems to keep such powerful sensors from running out of power or burning out.

    Like I said, no actual ship for the Russian navy will have such a superstructure, so discussing it is a waste of our time.

    It will look more conventional, think 22350 scaled up to Kirov size (well, not quite, but you get the point).

    The proportions are wrong in this toy model. It looks grossly unbalanced with this "temple". And there is no point
    for it to be this large anyway.

    A high mast is excellent for locating sensors... if you have very big sensors, or lots of sensors then you need a big mast.

    Obviously you don't want a lot of weight mounted up high so weapons should not be located there... mount the weapons as low in the hull as possible... vertical launch tubes being ideal in terms of low weight line and low RCS... internal weapons are always better.
