    Just looking at this model I would say 2 x UKSK launchers for a total of 16 tubes, and in front two 14 tube launcher bins for either Redut or Shtil-1:

    But of course a model is easy to make... and change

    Medvedka is a retractable set of tubes that is usually near the rear of the ship.

    Just looking at the model I would guess the flat area behind the main funnel there are two flat hatches... I would expect that might be it.

    Note this model has Palma turrets rather than Kashtan-M or Pantsir-S1.

    Proyekt 22350 frigates are needed by tens, if not 30, or even 40, of them. But Northern Wharf is having trouble building them. Lead unit Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov was five years in construction, and its underway testing isn’t complete. Fleet Admiral Kasatonov was laid down just about two years ago. Its SAM system, Poliment-Redut with 9M96 missiles isn’t ready, and will have to be fitted right to finished frigates. But Bogdanov sees the frigates’ VLS – the Multipurpose Ship Fire System (UKSK or УКСК) as a positive step. It could fire antiship, antisubmarine, land-attack cruise missiles, torpedoes, and possibly SAMs.

    It could fire antiship, antisubmarine, land-attack cruise missiles, torpedoes, and possibly SAMs.

    Yeah... it really would be a universal launch system if they could integrate Shtil-1 and Redut missiles with the system, but it comes down to size efficiency... a A UKSK launch bin can hold up to 8 missiles and the missiles it can carry include as the heaviest missile probably the Oniks, which could be 3-4 or perhaps even 5-6 tons each.

    Obviously to be useful then you need to be able to pack in missiles efficiently.

    For instance if the UKSK can hold a 2 ton Klub missile or 9 metre long 4-5 ton heavy long range cruise and anti ship missiles, then obviously it doesn't make sense to also fit... say Klinok like missiles at about 300kgs in each tube.

    They would have to create some sort of adaptor where small missiles can be packed in multiple containers and perhaps even stacked to use up the length of the 9m deep tubes. For instance they might manage to get 4 Klinok missiles within the diameter of the UKSK tubes, and they might also find they can stack these quad packs three missiles high with space for catapults, so when the top four missiles have been fired the lining is ejected up and fired sideways clear of the deck exposing the next 4 round load and when they are fired they can eject that and use the last 4 missiles.
    It is normal for the Klintok missiles to be catapulted up before launch so this is nothing new here, and it would mean that a single UKSK launcher could carry 96 missiles in three layers, or it could have 4 tubes loaded with Klintok with 48 missiles and Oniks in the remaining 12 tubes.

    In practical terms what this really means is that a ship can have extra UKSK tubes instead of Redut and Shtil-1 launchers, so a vessel on a radar picket mission could simply carry all SAMs, or in the case of vessels in the conflict in Georgia they could carry a couple of anti ship missiles plus a few land attack cruise missiles and instead of any anti sub missiles they could carry extra anti aircraft missiles.

    I have heard that the Russian Navy will get some modified Talwar frigates that were designed for India... that were actually very good ships, and this should speed up production, though some of the weapons to be fitted are a problem (Poliment radar and the Redut missiles to go with it).

    Ι think Talwar frigates (6 ordered) is the best short-term solution for black sea fleet which desperately needs new warships. The first ship will be delivered in the beginning of 2013 (keel laid down in 2010), very fast for the Russian shipbuilding reality

    The best way for the Russian ship building industry to recover is for them to get large contracts and start building ships.

    Larger orders and longer production runs are another positive consequence of standardisation of ship components and systems.

    I think also that they must create more shipbuilding lines for some classes of ships. For example for the gorshkov frigate there must be 3 shipyards to construct these ships.

    I agree.

    They got two contracts from India to make Talwar class ships but they made sure the separate contracts went to different shipyards.

    This meant that both shipyards went through the process of retooling and training up a work force and all the other problems with starting new production from scratch.

    It meant the Indians had to wait longer for the second lot of ships they ordered, but it meant two shipyards could make the boats instead of just one.

    I would suspect that they will continue to give jobs to shipyards that can both handle it and also need the work.

    There should be no shortage for work for any Russian shipyards.

    I think 6 is overkill in terms of resources allocated to the BSF, better send those 2 of those hulls to Pacific and 1 to North. Even then the BSF is slated to receive 3 11356Ms, 3 Kilos + Alrosa overhauled, a number of the new rocket ships (21631 project) seems like at least 1 20380 and possibly a 22350 (The Gorshkov supposedly), and if that is not enough, there has been talk of transferring Yaroslav Mudry and Neustrashimy to the Black Sea. So we have a large increase in submarine strength (only 1 before!) and even the capital ships are more than replaced when the Kerch, Smetlivy, Ladnyy and Pitlivvy are retired this decade.

    Hopefully Moskva is sent to Pacific when the new ships enter service.

    Then of course there are the coastal additions, Bastions and Bal, and the potential 12 Su-30SM specifically for the fleet. All in all should be a decent force.

    Garry, not sure if I misread you, but Poliment-Redut will not be fitted to 11356Ms. They will likely be very close to the Indian ships to expedite construction, hopefully they get VLS Shtil, at best there might be Redut like the 20380s, but no Poliment, though I find that unlikely personally. The other question is what the CIWS fit will be.

    I think 6 is overkill in terms of resources allocated to the BSF, better send those 2 of those hulls to Pacific and 1 to North.

    I think the order of 6 new frigate sized vessels is a good thing, and that as a stopgap till the Gorshkov frigates are ready for mass production and of course the new destroyers are ready to put on the slipways that they are a move in the right direction.

    Obviously the Black Sea Fleet is not in a great condition... they have a lot of old ships needing replacing, but that is the same for all of the Navy.

    Now that Shakashvili has played his hand and invaded South Ossetia and been pushed back I rather think the Russians will have changed from having a small peacekeeping force in SO and Abkhazia to a much larger and much better equipped and prepared force that will totally crush the Georgians if they try anything again, so the Black Sea Fleet, while it needs improvement is no longer a number one priority.

    I rather suspect that the Pacific will be a priority for a while as those Mistrals will need vessels to support them plus a general port upgrade.

    In the longer term of course the Northern Fleet will need expansion because of arctic claims and increased operations there looking for resources, and of course the Baltic is Russias gateway to the Med so eventually it will likely be the Fleet that they send frigates and destroyers from for anti piracy missions off Africa though with further naval expansion a port in India or an African country will reduce costs as it will save costs in traversing the Suez canal.


    They will likely be very close to the Indian ships to expedite construction, hopefully they get VLS Shtil, at best there might be Redut like the 20380s, but no Poliment, though I find that unlikely personally.

    The articles I have read suggest that the purpose of them building the Talwars was because it is already developed and thus ready to go with less testing than custom designed new stuff.

    As such i would expect the Vertical launch Shtil-1 system to be used, but having said that the Redut systems are to be used in most other Russian vessel from Corvette to carrier.

    Regarding CIWS I wonder if naval Pantsir-S1 is ready, or if Kashtan-M will be used...

    I am assuming that naval Pantsir-S1 uses the longer barreled 30mm 6 barrel cannon of the Kashtan-M and have the missiles in two clusters of 4 missiles that can be reloaded from a below deck missile handling system just like the Kashtan-M.

    That would mean it would simply be a Kashtan-M system with newer sensors and longer (double) range missiles able to engage targets down to 2m off the water and up to 15km above the water.

    Each mount can engage 4 targets at once, so its performance is pretty good.

    Russia to Start Construction of Two New Warships

    RIA Novosti

    16:08 30/01/2012 MOSCOW, January 30 (RIA Novosti) - Two new warships will be laid down for the Russian Navy, a Defense Ministry spokesman said on Monday.

    The Project 22350 Admiral Golovko frigate and the Project 20385 Gremyashchy corvette will be built at the Severnaya Verf (Northern Shipyard) in St. Petersburg, he said.

    These will be the first in a series of short and mid-range frigates and corvettes, he added.

    The Project 22350 Admiral Golovko frigate and the Project 20385 Gremyashchy corvette will be built at the Severnaya Verf (Northern Shipyard) in St. Petersburg, he said.

    Good news... the Project 20385 is often given to all Steregushchy Corvettes equipped with Redut SAM launchers... it will be interesting to see it in service (It has clearly just been started).

    The Project 22350 is of course the Admiral Gorshkov class Frigate, which was a little delayed resulting in the Navy ordering a few Talwar class vessels which are upgraded Krivak vessels.

    The production of a second Gorshkov Class vessel suggests the bugs have been worked out and the vessel is ready for series production.

    There were problems with the new SAM system... reportedly it was a shortage of engineers in the development team for the Navy system that was the problem.

    You will most widely find that Redut is reported as being the 9M96 series of small missiles for the S-400 series and it is certainly related to this, however the final missiles used will actually be based on the land based Vityaz SAMs which are developed versions of the 9M96 missiles, so performance should be further improved in all areas.

    Needless to say Redut is to naval SAMs what UKSK is to naval cruise missiles, and is supposed to be able to handle teh naval equivalent of S-300, S-400 large and small missiles, and also Morfei short range IIR guided SAMs. The latter will also be use on land as a point defence lock on after launch system and also as a short range AAM.

    Just stumbled on an article that explains why some time ago a Navy official was talking about importing foreign guns for Russian ships.

    Navy Found Alternative to Arsenal Plant
    20.12.11
    Being displeased with execution of the contract for ship-based 100-mm gun mounts A-190 Universal by JSC Arsenal Machinery Plant (St. Petersburg), Russian Navy has found another executor – Burevestnik Central Research Institute (Nizhniy Novgorod).


    Complaints of the Navy's officials were about both quality of gun mounts and protractions of deliveries. Things went so bad that the Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Vysotsky visiting Severnaya Verf shipyard told to shipbuilders and designers that the Navy would have to buy guns in the West if nothing improved.

    We remind that the project of A-190 gun mount was designed by the Burevestnik research institute on the basis of well-mastered and batch-produced gun mount AK-176M (both for Soviet/Russian Navy and for export). Documentation for batch production was handed over to the Arsenal plant in St. Petersburg. Early in 2000's the plant produced first gun mounts for Project 11356 frigates built by Baltiysky Zavod shipyard for India. According to unofficial information, the guns were unfinished and are still used in Indian Navy with some restrictions.

    Despite the immature design, the gun had quite powerful potential. Thanks to its light weight (more than two times lighter than its predecessor – AK-100 gun mount) and advanced ballistic features, it could be mounted on smaller ships and even boats. The gun was included into armament of Russian Navy's newest ships – Project 20380 corvette Stereguschiy and Project 21630 small-size gunnery ship Astrakhan. By the way, the latter one became the first ship in Russian Navy armed with that gun mount.

    Technical problems inevitably arisen after introduction of the new weapon system in service provoked long-lasting workout and still have not been resolved. In addition to the hardware problems, the monopolist Arsenal plant failed to meet a schedule and deliver gun mounts in time. That directly affected delivery dates of the ships. For instance, second Project 21630 small-size gunnery ship Volgodonsk built by JSC Almaz Shipbuilding Firm (St. Petersburg) started test firings of major caliber gun just a while ago, almost half a year behind schedule. Another fact must be mentioned here. Launched in spring without gun mount, the ship took part in the International Maritime Defense Show. For that purpose, the gun mount being tested at Rzhevka Range was hastily mounted on the ship, but right after the show it was dismantled and sent back to Rzhevka. The gun was finally mounted on Volgodonsk for trials only in September.

    Seeing that JSC Arsenal Machinery Plant failed to complete contracts in time (including export ones for gun mounts AK-176M) and – according to Admiral Vysotsky – "groundlessly drove up prices", the Navy had to seek for a different gun supplier and chose Burevestnik Central Research Institute (Nizhniy Novgorod). It is the leading developer of cannon artillery for Russian Army and Navy. Except for developing of new artillery systems, the institute has own production facilities and is capable to manufacture weapons in lots. It was the Burevestnik institute who had developed the Universal gun system late in 80's, and that was another reason for selection. It was proposed to find alternative supplier of A-190 guns far back in 2010, but only in this year defense ministry formed the order for a batch of 10-mm gun mounts for new Russian frigates and corvettes. JSC Motovilikha Works was engaged as the Burevestnik's contractor in order to produce tipping parts for the guns. Being located in Perm, this company is the oldest and the most experienced manufacturer of field and self-propelled artillery and MLRS systems claiming to be the Russia's number one artillery producer.

    The contract cost is noteworthy as well. According to the president of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation Roman Trotsenko, the price would be 30% less than the Arsenal plant demanded.

    As may be supposed, gun systems built by the Burevestnik institute jointly with the Motovilikha plant would be mounted on Project 11356 frigates (first 3-ship batch is being constructed by Yantar Shipyard, plans to build other 3 frigates have been already voiced), and a series of Project 20380/20385 corvettes built by Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg and Amur Shipyard at the Far East.

    Basic characteristics of A-190 Universal 100-mm ship-based gun mount
    Firing rate – about 80 rounds per minute
    Lateral firing range – 21,000 meters
    Altitude capability – 15,000 meters
    Elevation angle – from minus 15 to plus 85 degrees
    Horizontal pointing angle – from minus to plus 170 degrees
    Shell weight – 15.6 kg
    Ammunition load – 80 shells
    Gun mount weight – about 15 tons
    The system uses fixed munitions with high-explosive impact-fuzed shells and anti-aircraft radar-fuzed projectiles. In prospect, use of guided missiles is possible as well.

    Key advantages of A-190 gun mount:
    fully automated combat operating mode with use of main and reserve control methods in severe jamming environment
    minimal dead zones when firing at different targets
    reaction time when repelling air attacks – 2-5 seconds, rapid shift of fire between targets
    A-190 guns have been already mounted on Russian warships of several projects (20380, 20385, 21630, 21631, 11356 – stealth shielded variant A-190-01) and Indian Navy's ships (Project 11356/17 frigates – export variant A-190E).

    The thing is that they need Frigates as well as destroyers and they will need a lot of Frigates.

    It makes sense to make their Frigates first and get them into serial production before they start with bigger vessels.

    This is going to take time and there is no point in rushing.


    Regarding the new destroyer:

    http://english.pravda.ru/russia/economics/10-10-2011/119279-russia_destroyer-0/

    I suspect a from scratch design will allow the new systems and sensors and weapons and propulsion to be optimised in a new stealthy design.

    That article is poop, then again it is PRavda.
    Project 1165 cruiser? wtf?
    No destroyer construction in 2012, fantasy.

    I would not be surprised if new destroyer was sized up 22350. Would hopefully ensure the painfully long gestation of the new corvettes and frigates would be avoided.

    HOWEVER:
    http://balancer.ru/forum/punbb/attachment.php?item=261788&download=2

    The 3rd 22350, Golovko, getting ready for laying down ceremony. Rumors say perhaps a 4th hull will be laid down this year. Sounds optimistic, but would be great.

    Are you sure... if they are producing late model Steregushcy Corvettes with Redut, then perhaps Poliment/Redut has its bugs sorted to the point where they can start laying down hulls?

    They certainly need to start building Destroyers at some stage and though I don't want them to start before they are ready, with a new design you really don't know whether a design will actually work till it is fitting out... look at the Lada sub.

    Obviously once any problems are found they can be corrected and mass production can start.

    The pattern so far has been design new designs for export and get some practise building them and then build domestic models with domestic weapons and sensors.

    I am not sure where they are getting the 32 numbers from, 16 is the expected number.

    9M96 is the expected Poliment-Redut missile for 22350 yes.
