Liking her lines. What of p22356 for IN?

I have not seen any rumours about India considering project 22356. Maybe later but I doubt that India would be interested in buying project 22356 until the next talwar batch have been delivered. Assuming the talwar deal will happen. I am also pretty sure Russia would have some serious problems to build 22356s for India in a time schedule which would satisfied India.

Perhaps not, if the export versions doesn't has all the newest gear and is made entirely of steel ?

Any info on when the 4 x MiG-29K/KUb are to have their first deck landings? If they were delivered earlier, they could have made use of INS Vikramaditya deck and also involved in the ships sea trials...... and by a long shot.....any chance for these new 4 MiG-29K/KUB and the two RAC-MiG aircraft to be based on INS Vikramaditya's voyage? Atleast 2-6 fighters on board is better than an empty deck and it will help the crew to practice scrambling the jets on intruders its way home.

On Russian Navy support ships, the 2nd unit of the Pr.18280 intelligence/recc ship have been laid. The first unit was launched on 30 Sep 13.

Severnaya Verf lays down first serial communication vessel of project 18280 and frigate of project 22350
News
2013 November 14 17:49

Severnaya Verf Shipyard has laid down the first serial communication vessel of project 18280 for RF Navy and the third serial frigate of project 22350, Admiral Isakov, the shipyard has announced today.

The lead vessel of project 22350, Admiral Gorshkov (designed by FSUE Severnoye Design Bureau) is undergoing mooring trials, while the first and the second serial frigates of this project, Admiral Kasatonov and Admiral Golovko are being built by Severnaya Verf according to the schedule. The shipyard has signed a contract with the Defence Ministry for construction of 6 frigates of this project.

Communication vessel Ivan Khurs (designed by Central Design Bureau Iceberg) is the first serial vessel of the project being built for RF Navy.
The ship’s major characteristics:
displacement — some 4,000 t,
length – 95 m,
width – 16 m,
range – at least 8,000 miles,
crew - about 120 persons.
The lead communication vessel, Yury Ivanov, was launched by Severnaya Verf on September 30, 2013.

The St. Petersburg-based Severnaya Verf Shipyard’s history dates back to 1912. Now it is a leading shipbuilding company of the Russian defense industry. The shipyard specializes in building cruisers, destroyers, minesweepers, patrol vessels and submarines destroyers, research and passenger vessels, timber cargo carriers, trawlers, container ships and ro-ro vessels for the Russian Defense Ministry and foreign customers.

Russian Gov’t picked Severnaya Verf Shipyard as the main contractor for the frigate and corvette class ships (Project 22350, Project 2038/20385). The company was included in the register of the Federal Service for Defense Contracts (Rosoboronzakaz) of sole suppliers of Russian weapons and military equipment and is the sole contractor for communications ships of Project 18280.

The Shipyard’s backlog of orders to be completed and delivered to RF Navy by 2020 includes 6 frigates of project 22350, 6 corvettes of projects 20380 and 20385, 3 combat logistics ships with high ice class ARC4 based on project 23120, as well as two communications vessels of project 18280.


That is 12 combat ships, 5 support ships by 2020. Not much good compared to what Sevmash & Yantar have been doing.

Severnaya Verf to Lay Down Second Recon Ship in 2013

Text: RusNavy.com

In the coming year of 2013, Severnaya Verf shipyard will begin construction of second Project 18280 reconnaissance ship, said the shipyard's director Alexander Ushakov at press conference on the eve of the company's centennial.

"Another Project 18280 special-purpose ship will be ordered in 2013", said the director. "Our shipyard is the only manufacturer of such vessels", he added.

"It was planned to launch the lead ship of the project, Vice Admiral Yury Ivanov by the jubilee, but subcontractors let us down again. Kolomna Motor Works frustrated delivery of main engines, so the ship will be launched in the next year", said Ushakov.

Another source of Central Navy Portal in the shipyard said that Severnaya Verf would impose penalty sanctions upon JSC Kolomna Motor Works for exceeded delivery deadlines. "Now we're mounting shaft lines, continue assembling of hull systems and laying cables", added the insider.

Designed by Kolomna Motor Works by the order of Iceberg Design Bureau specially for Project 18280 reconnaissance ships, experimental diesel engine 11D42 had successfully passed trials in the summer of 2011 and was recommended for batch production. Main propulsion plant of the ship consists of two geared diesel engines 5DRA and is working with adjustable pitch propeller. It provides smooth increase of power without overloading from fractional to rated operating modes.

Recall that JSC Kolomna Motor Works also manufactures CODAD powerplants DDA-12000 for new Project 20380 corvettes built by Severnaya Verf. As was earlier told Central Navy Portal by a naval officer, this powerplant has a number of defects still uneliminated, namely, high smoke emission at transit modes, inadequate reliability and efficiency. In connection with engine defects found during beta tests of Project 20380 lead corvette Stereguschiy, Russian Navy command and Almaz Design Bureau decided to equip next group of corvettes with German-made propulsion plants MAN. Lead ship of the second batch, Project 20385 corvette Gremyaschiy is being under construction at Severnaya Verf since 2011.

Note that these ships in the class of pr.1135. Btw, are there any of these class of ships going for FSB like earlier 1135 units operated by the security services?

The floating power plant is taking life.

Reactors installed on floating plant

01 October 2013

The two reactors for the first floating nuclear power plant being built in Russia have been installed in the vessel's hull, marking a major milestone in the plant's construction.

Floating NPP reactor installation (Rosenergoatom)

The first steam generating unit - comprising the reactor, steam generators and pressurizer - is lowered into the vessel's reactor compartment (Image: Rosenergoatom)

The first 220-tonne steam generating unit - including a 35 MWe KLT-40S reactor - was installed in the vessel's reactor compartment on 27 September at the Baltiysky Zavod-Shipbuilding shipyard in St Petersburg. The second one was installed today. The operation to install the reactors, carried out using a special floating crane, was held in the presence of Rosenergoatom and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.

Russia's OKBM Afrikantov completed the assembly of the two reactors for the country's first floating nuclear power plant, the Akademik Lomonosov, in 2009. The assembly and acceptance testing of the reactors was conducted at the Nizhniy Novgorod AtomEnergoProekt (NN-AEP). OKBM Afrikantov designed and provided technical support for the manufacture of the reactors, while Izhorskiye Zavody produced the reactor vessels and NN-AEP manufactured parts for the reactors and assembled them. They have been stored at Baltiysky Zavod while the hull of the vessel was completed.

Deputy general director of Rosenergoatom's directorate for building floating nuclear power plants Sergey Zavyalov commented, "We, as the customer, can see that work on the project has intensified in the past months, which gives us strong confidence that the floating unit will be ready in time."

The keel of the Akademik Lomonosov was laid in April 2007 at Sevmash in Severodvinsk, but the project was subsequently transferred to the Baltiysky Zavod. The 21,500 tonne hull was launched in 2010, although construction work was frozen in mid-2011 amid bankruptcy proceedings against the shipyard. The company was subsequently acquired by state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation and Rosenergoatom signed a new contract in December 2012 with Baltiysky Zavod shipyard for the completion of the first floating nuclear power plant.

The plant is now scheduled for delivery on 9 September 2016 and will be deployed near the port of Pevek on Russia's Chukotka peninsula on the East Siberian Sea.

This 35MWe unit might be suitable for new N-powered destroyers & cruisers and could be the ones used?

Megayacht transferred to the customer
November 29, 2013

Cevmash handed oceanic mega-yacht customer. Signatures on the act of reception and transmission of vessel set production manager marine engineering and civil shipbuilding enterprise Valery Borodin and customer representative Valery Tsypluhin.

Now megayacht headed for Italy, where it will be interior. Recall, the ship was launched from the slipway Sevmash in September this year, and then successfully tested. For Russian company, which produces the most complex high-tech products - nuclear submarines, the first experience in building ships of this class. As experts say, it is with megayachts built at Sevmash, Russia began mastering the production of a new class of luxury vessels.

Pr.667BRDM being featured in this Russia2 Poligon series. The footage of the BRDM is the best I have ever seen. Without that silo hump, its a clean beautiful hull. Now that Borei is coming (even though Baluva have some glitches), they should be thinking of converting the pr.667 into cruise missile carrier.

Is there any option to embed video? How do I do it?

BTW, there was some speculation that the future Indian N-SSBN and if it is based on an evolved Pr.667BRDM then the best. Two things I would like to see on the evolved 667BRDM are 1) single shaft 2) negligible hump.

http://www.wrk.ru/forums/attachment.php?item=341009&download=1

Got no idea what they are planning with the 11541, they have been displaying models during IMDS.
Also, Not sure if there is 10 variation...maybe 7 or 8. Here are some of them

[ATTACH=CONFIG]223471[/ATTACH]

^ this is the only earliest variant which came without the rear mast. The two other variants armed with Uran & Yakhont had those rear mast.

Then came the variant (as usual with two mast) with the the 8-cell VLS and then this...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]223472[/ATTACH]

^ an evolved version of that 8-cell VLS version and the among the top two modification of Pr.11541 in my view. Installation of Podberezovik-EТ1 at the front would be a good one which will give it a longer range coverage of the airspace.
This model was succeeded by rather overdone "LO" model in previous expos. But there is also surprises like the one below...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]223473[/ATTACH]

^ this model was not displayed at any expo AFAIK, but this has been in their site for over a year now. This is the most powerful or the most heavily armed variant of the Pr.11541 till date and should slot in for the number place. If what I can see is correct the ship have 32 x AD missiles + 32 x VLS (8 + 24 amidship) for any combo of Klub/Oniks.

If there is a chance to see any new 11541, I think the last model is probably the one. The bonus being the basic Pr.11541 is an ASW oriented design.

K 44 Ryazan

I'm new here, so forgive me if I'm asking the wrong questions in the wrong places!
I am writing a spy novel and need some info about Russian submarines (eg K44 Ryazan) The story is that an Russian agent has to get three civilians out of the US, where they are in danger. Currently, I have them picked up off the California coast from a zodiac, taken by the Ryazan to Vladivostok. I can't find much info on things like access to the ship from outside (how would they get into it from the zodiac on the high seas?) Would there be room for them? What kind of room? How long would the trip be? Would they be able to see out? (ie when docking at Vladivostok) and where could I find details about the precise location of the dock and what it looks like. I suppose some of this info is classified, but I'd like to have as convincing a background as I can.
Can anyone help, or direct me to a helpful site?
