Moscow. March 29. website - JSC " Shipyard Severnaya Verf plans to transfer Project 22350 frigates Admiral Gorshkov, Admiral Kasatonov and Admiral Golovko to the Russian Navy in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. This was reported by the acting general director shipyard and USC vice-president for military shipbuilding Igor Ponomarev to journalists on Wednesday in St. Petersburg.

The Admiral Gorshkov should be handed over in June of this year, the ship has undergone an inspection, and is now working on tasks in Baltiysk. The weapon is 80-90% tested. He has already covered 45 thousand miles,” Ponomarev said.

According to him, the frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" is planned to be sent to mooring tests at the end of 2017-beginning of 2018. “The entire range of tests is planned to be carried out in 2018, and transferred at the end of next year,” he noted.

The delivery of the frigate Admiral Golovko, Ponomarev said, is scheduled for 2019.

In addition, according to him, the fourth hull of a ship of this project is currently in production at the shipyard.

Severnaya Verf is one of the largest shipbuilding enterprises in Russia, which was previously controlled by the United Industrial Corporation (UPK). The shipbuilding assets of the military industrial complex were pledged against loans from the International Industrial Bank, which was declared bankrupt. In September 2012, JSC United shipbuilding corporation" acquired a 75% stake in the shipyard at an auction for 12.448 billion rubles, consolidating 96.78% of the shares of Severnaya Verf under its control.

"A new state program is currently being prepared ( Government program weapons - IF), Then ( after its approval - And F) we will talk about future construction,” Ponomarev noted, answering a question about plans for the further construction of frigates of the project.

The most modern

"Admiral of the Fleet Soviet Union Gorshkov" is the flagship ship of Project 22350, which was developed by the Northern Design Bureau. The keel of the frigate took place at the Severnaya Verf Shipyard OJSC in St. Petersburg on February 1, 2006. The deadline for the transfer of the frigate to the fleet was repeatedly postponed. Initially, it was planned to be transferred to the Russian Navy in 2015, then the deadline was postponed to 2016.

The subsequent frigates of this series - "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov", "Admiral of the Fleet Golovko" and "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Isakov", the construction of which continues at Severnaya Verf, - will become the most modern ships of the Russian Navy in their class, say Severnaya Verf ".

Project 22350 ships are created using stealth technology - the values ​​of the physical fields of frigates are minimized. Thanks to the original superstructure architecture, the ships have a reduced reflective surface, which reduces their radar signature. Frigates are designed to conduct combat operations in the far ocean zone against enemy surface ships and submarines, repelling air attacks, both independently and as part of a formation of ships.

The frigates have a displacement of 4.5 thousand tons, a length of 135 meters, a width of 16 m, a speed of up to 29 knots, a cruising range of 4.5 thousand miles, an endurance of 30 days and are designed for a crew of 180 to 210 people.

Equipped with a main power plant with a total capacity of at least 65 thousand liters. With.

Ship armament

The ships are armed with a 130-mm A-192 artillery mount, a Redut anti-aircraft missile system, and launchers for 16 Onyx or Kalibr-NKE anti-ship missiles. The Package-NK complex was used as an anti-submarine weapon. Carries a Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter on board.

Main shock complex installed on the frigate "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov" of Project 22350. The ship is being built at the Severnaya Verf plant, where it is also undergoing mooring tests

The main work of the pre-construction period has been completed, the cable has been tightened, electrical equipment has been installed and special equipment has been delivered to the plant, including the main strike complex. Builders are completing the alignment of diesel engines afloat, gas turbines, gearboxes and shaft lines. The finishing and equipping of residential and office premises for the arrival of the commissioning crew continues.

Department technical control The shipbuilders presented 124 construction certificates out of 163 and 64 mooring certificates out of 245 to the shipyard and the customer.

Project 22350 was developed by the Northern Design Bureau. The frigates of this project are ships of a long forecastle design, with a solid superstructure. Frigates' physical fields have been minimized. Thanks to the original architecture of the superstructure (“stealth”), the effective dispersion surface is reduced, which reduces the radar and optical signature of ships.

Frigates are designed to conduct combat operations in oceanic and sea areas against enemy surface ships and submarines, repelling attacks by air attack weapons, both independently and as part of a formation of ships.

The lead ship of Project 22350, the frigate Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov, is currently undergoing state tests in the Northern Fleet. It was included in the TOP 10 most powerful frigates of the 21st century, compiled by the American blog Defencyclopedia. The rating's compilers called it "an example of a well-balanced ship."

Main characteristics of project 22350:

· Displacement - 4500 tons;

Northern Shipyard presented the new frigate “Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov”

In St. Petersburg on November 23, 2018 they presented new Russian frigate “Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov”. It will go to sea in December. Now the Shipyard's commissioning team and crew are completing the final preparations for the ship's first departure to sea.

The day before, Kasatonov carried out a control measurement magnetic field at the factory stand near the finishing embankment. The commissioning team, which goes to sea with the frigate, completes training in test programs. Within three weeks, all ship systems will be checked for compliance with the design - the power plant (including the operation of the main engines in various modes) and electrical equipment, navigation, communications, rescue, survivability, ventilation and air conditioning systems, speed, maneuverability, and stability of the ship. The ZHI program also includes artillery and missile firing.

Russia took second place in the ranking of military power >>

The main weapon of the “master of the seas” (as the frigate was nicknamed for its ability to perform various tasks), of course, the Caliber missile systems that thundered throughout the world. "Kasatonov" has artillery mounts, anti-submarine torpedoes and powerful protection against air attacks in its arsenal.

The newest complex "Redut" () is designed to destroy any targets, including low-flying ones, of a potential enemy. 32 missile silos, into which missiles of varying ranges can be loaded - short, medium and for long-range firing. Moreover, the peculiarity of the installation is that all types and classes of missiles can be combined depending on the assigned tasks.

Here they used stealth technologies - maximum secrecy from enemy radars due to electronic warfare elements and weapons hidden under the skin. Improved seaworthiness. So you can use all types of weapons even in a force five storm, with a wave of about three meters. There is already a bustle on the navigation bridge - the crew is preparing for the first trip to sea.

General Director Igor Ponomarev said that representatives of the Ministry of Defense are now checking the readiness of the frigate “Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov” for testing. " Due to the fact that the flagship of this project, the frigate Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov, has undergone the most complete and detailed test program, with the first production one, Kasatonov, we plan to complete the ZHI program much faster. I think that after three weeks of release, he will already return to the plant from the first stage of chemical chemical treatment. We are now working closely with the Northern Design Bureau, the project developer, to verify all elements of the test program. We will make efforts to ensure that the ship goes to sea in the summer., - said Igor Ponomarev.

In the last two years, the Northern Shipyard has increased its shipbuilding discipline - in 2018, the plant transferred to the Navy the communications vessel Ivan Khurs and the ship logistics support"Elbrus". By the end of 2019, the Northern Shipyard intends to transfer three more orders to the Navy - the frigate "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov" and the logistics support vessel "".

A country with access to the sea must also have a combat-ready navy to protect its shores. This has always been the case, from the rowing ships of the ancient world to modern frigates, aircraft carriers and submarines. The frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" is a representative of a new era in Russian shipbuilding.

Project 22350

The creation of a new generation of vessels for the Russian Navy is the need of the day. A modern frigate combines anti-submarine and artillery characteristics warship. It is more versatile, faster and feature rich. On such a vessel it is possible to solve issues of the country's security, carrying out a military attack on the enemy, both under water and in the air, and on water and on land.

An example of such a warship is the Project 22350 frigate Admiral Kasatonov. The frigate allows for massive fire both near the shore and in remote sea areas.

The glorious history of Severnaya Verf production helped it win the trend to build Project 22350 frigates for the Russian Navy. Two ships from this project have already been launched and are being tested. One of them is the frigate Admiral Kasatonov.
