    I think Tass mentioned 40k tons somewhere (I'm not sure). And Tass are unlikely to be wrong?
    There doesn't seem to be official confirmation anywhere.

    They want you (and everybody else) to keep guessing.

    Can't be that hard for someone (with tech knowldege) to work it out. Given that the ships have been laid down? : /

    Depends how long they want to operate at sea... initially they said it would be slightly heavier than the Mistrals at about 30K ton, but the government official quoted 40K which is a problem... is that standard weight is that overload weight... we really don't know.

    I suspect they probably looked at all the new armour and new helicopters and all the new gear their naval infantry are likely to be getting over the next few years and made it heavier.

    No one ever complained at a ship being too big, but a ship that is too small for the next upgrade is a common problem... more so on British ships ironically because they tend to make small modern missiles and weapons so when it comes time to upgrade the new system can often be just as small but they want more of them like a SAM or something.

    In comparison with Soviet vessels they looked cluttered with all the electronics and sensors and weapons and equipment they crammed on and the new missiles and weapons are often smaller and lighter but also much better than the previous systems.

    For instance Metel anti sub rocket powered missiles that dropped torpedoes on target like the Ikara Aussie missile is huge, while the 91ER1 that replaces it is better all round and much more compact and can be loaded and launched from a torpedo tube.

    A 50km range 533mm torpedo gets replaced by a 400mm torpedo with a 20km range but a solid ballistic rocket that carries it 40km at mach 2, so the target gets less warning and the torpedo has a better chance for a kill.

    The new electronics would free up loads of space for extra equipment and systems too because the older Soviet ships tended to be bigger than they needed to be with extra radars instead of sharing, so the SAM might have a radar and an anti ship missile system might have its own radar too and the ships main search and tracking radar and another radar for the large calibre guns...

    Another aspect is that they talked about the new ships as having slightly different roles where one is a pure landing ship and the other has a more drone focus, which might be interesting... perhaps landing ship in the Pacific fleet for the Kuriles and also potentially for disaster relief in the pacific ring of fire... for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as storms and floods etc, while based in Tartus a drone focused ship with more special forces landing forces of high mobility with Typhoon rather than Kurganets or Boomerang type platforms and of course helicopters and hovercraft and landing ships and subs etc as well as drone aircraft and subs and surface ships...

    Hopefully they will be a success and they make two of each that can be operated together to support each others operations... would be good to see it supporting Egyptian Mistrals in the Med...

    I noticed with other countries's amph ships, it seems fully laden vs empty can add 10 or 11k tons.
    China's and America's seem around the 40k ton mark. The Rogov is similar width but slightly shorter than the US Wasps. So 40k tons seems very possible.

    Those Okhotnik drones could be very dangerous features.

    Maybe the usage will determine the final tonnage.
    Anyway, all in all, its nice to see Russia getting back to producing big ships (amph ships, nuclear icebreakers, and of course large subs).
    With the frigates and heavy cruiser refits, and of course the Indian aircraft carrier, its clear Russia isn't that far removed from building say.. a full aircraft carrier. That of course could be seen as the complete rebirth of Russia's naval shipbuilding from Soviet times.

    Helicopter between Ka-52 and Ka-27 is the expected MINOGA.

    Last photo: Whatever it is, it looks like has the hull of an icebreaker.

    Edit: I figured it out, it is Project 1550 Khaski (Husky).

    Helicopter between Ka-52 and Ka-27 is the expected MINOGA.

    Looking at its size compared with the Mi-8, I was thinking it might be an Mi-38 navalised... but the coaxial rotors suggest it is the Minoga.

    Yes, it looks definitely like the leaked photo we saw before. But I am failing to discern the tail, which would be the most interesting part in order to confirm or deny whether it has a pusher propeller angry

    Minoga won't have a pusher propeller, that's going on new high-speed helicopter

    And we already saw Minoga tail

    To get any mileage from pusher propeller the helicopter needs to have reinforced main rotor otherwise blades will start acting funny as speed goes up

    From everything we seen so far Minoga will have standard main rotor

    Besides they gone official on this, no need for qualified opinions, they were pretty clear: Minoga with standard coaxial rotor and new high-speed helicopter with pusher propeller and inter-meshing rotor

    https://flotprom.ru/2022/%D0%A1%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BC%D0%B0%D1%889/

    Design Bureau "Sevmash" has developed bearings for universal landing ships (helicopter carriers) of project 23900 "Ivan Rogov" and "Mitrofan Moskalenko", which are being built at the plant "Zaliv" in Kerch. This was announced on Thursday, July 7, in the press service of the Severodvinsk enterprise.

    The bearings will be manufactured at Sevmash. An order for their production has been opened in the machine shop No. 4, the press service of the shipyard specified. The first set is planned to be delivered to the Crimean shipyard in July 2023, the second - in 2024.

    Lmfao - couldn't agree more, and if VMF didn't get the memo from first hand experience

    I wouldn't invest in new ships anyway if they get used the way the old flagship was

    Even if you have 48 cells of S300 Fort, and 64 cells of Osa, and 6 CIWS Kashtan, it makes no difference if your commander is a fucking idiot who sails into AsHm range with no escort and unaware of shore battery,

    Better just staying at Port on such a day

    That's what escorts are supposed to do

    At the very least the ship has to be able to defend itself, escorts might be defending themselves and not have the director channels to also defend these ships...

    A 40K ton ship with two Pantsir/Kashtan turrets is absolutely pathetic... it is not like they don't have the space.

    It would be extremely idiotic to send a single ship alone into range of enemy anti-ship missiles

    It would, but when under attack it also needs to be able to defend itself too... it is an important target and would be a priority target for the enemy if only because it carries 1,000 Russian Naval Infantry and their armour...

    It might get sunk

    Anything that floats can be sunk.

    The new USKS-M seems to incorporate all sorts of things including land attack and anti ship and anti sub missiles but also various SAM types and also drones and decoy and self defence equipment. Being equipped with two UKSK-M launchers in each corner of the ship would mean 64 potential launch tubes for land attack or anti ship or anti sub weapons, but also air defence missiles and anti torpedo missiles like PAKET...

    At the moment they are talking about a helicopter landing carrier and a drone support carrier, but there are other potential uses for this design including anti sub with extra helicopters and drones etc or a hospital ship for disaster zones and humanitarian missions for droughts or floods or earthquakes or famine.

    I wouldn't invest in new ships anyway if they get used the way the old flagship was

    You are right... no ships at all... just let the west strangle you and isolate you till you cry and become their little bitch.

    Even if you have 48 cells of S300 Fort, and 64 cells of Osa, and 6 CIWS Kashtan, it makes no difference if your commander is a fucking idiot who sails into AsHm range with no escort and unaware of shore battery,

    When was Kashtan added?

    64 cells of Fort, two twin armed OSA launchers with 40 missiles in total and 6 AK-630 gatling gun mounts... and very few upgrades since it entered service.

    Please tell us more about it because you seem to know exactly what happened... no escort? Really?

    AShM range but not used against any other Russian shipping? Odd isn't it?

    Better just staying at Port on such a day

    Better recognising there are air threats around and upgrading air defences on all ships and not rely on ESCORTS.

    Ka-52s with R-74 and R-77 missiles and AESA radars would be very good at looking for and shooting down incoming air threats, but ship based SAMs can operate 24/7 in all weathers day and night... obviously operating with friendly cruisers and destroyers and a CVN or CV, but not being able to defend yourself is a serious liability in combat and peace time.

    I guess that there is some nice VLS system hidden somewhere we can't see.
    Russian Navy would benefit with a follower of Gibka system, that is several close range F&F missiles. Back in the 80s, they even tried a concept of stacking some missiles to the masts, facing several directions to cover all perimeter. A desperate idea I would say Laughing
    Besides, if we take a Chinese 071 type to compare, they have 2x RAM-like systems and 2x plain gun CIWS. Here you can see a double Pancyr, that combines both, so it has the same number of missile system, same gun systems - only combined. And the missiles are about 5-7x the range.
