LOL .... only I said it would be great. Its now up to Russian politicians to push for 50 of these beauties so eventually when they miss the target by 20-25% we all will still be very proud of them  

If they missed that number by 50% I will personally send you a crate of Vodka!

A stunner it is, I think one doesn't have to be a Russian mil fan to consider this the best (or one of the very best) looking "stealth" ships around. Looks completely balanced, lines are stately but elegant....combine that with a killer radar suit and cutting edge weaponry...if only tempo would pick up!

What is the radar above the bridge in a dome structure ?

34K1 Monolit.

I am not sure why they are taking donkeys years to build first of class , The pace of Gorshkov construction is dissapointing ....reminds me of our own MDL and their Frigate/Destroyer they build in donkeys years.

Culdnt find any thing on Google , Any link to Specs , Pictures would be nice , Thanks

I like that term, donkey years.

Anyways the problems with a pilot unit are well known.
What is interesting is how long the 2nd and 3rd units will take. If it is anything as long as Gorshkov, then we have a problem.

Can't really find any specifics myself, aside from general (surface radar)

Can any one confirm Brahmos will arm the Gorshkov class frigate ? There was some news to that effect but officially it is confirmed ?

Brahmos is compatible with the UKSK launcher, so potentially every vessel fitted with such a launcher could carry it.

Whether they actually adopt it in Russian service is another matter as Brahmos is limited in range and payload weight by export limitations (less than 300km range and less than 500kg warhead weight).

I rather suspect new build Onyx missiles will have the new electronics and solutions of Brahmos but without the range limitations... which they might call Brahmos to keep India happy.

We are waiting for the gun ... for several more days. 

Frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" will be released to the factory running tests immediately after installation gun mount A-192

What good about A-192 Guns ?

Austin wrote:What good about A-192 Guns ?

Brand new 130mm gun.

It took time to work out the 100mm versions problems, and this is a much heavier mount overall. Hence, the delays.

The A-190 is a 100mm gun with the weight of a 76.2mm gun but with 100mm gun performance.

The A-192 is a 130mm gun with the weight of a 100mm gun but with a 130mm gun performance.

Think of it in terms of a 30 cal weight rifle with the performance of a 50 cal rifle...

The A-190 is 18 tons, the A-192 is 28-29 tons.

Do Russian have any extra long range shells that other countries are developing for A-192M Gun

No any news about it.

Range given for the A-192 is "more than 23km".

Remember the 70km range 152mm Koalition shells were a joint development between the Army and Navy, so I rather suspect they were also working on longer range rounds for smaller calibres.
