The main strike complex was mounted on the frigate Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov. The newest frigate "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov" is preparing for the first tests and going to sea Ship Admiral Kasatonov

Moscow. March 29. website - Severnaya Verf Shipbuilding Plant JSC plans to transfer the Project 22350 frigates Admiral Gorshkov, Admiral Kasatonov and Admiral Golovko to the Russian Navy in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. USC President for Military Shipbuilding Igor Ponomarev told reporters on Wednesday in St. Petersburg.

"Admiral Gorshkov" should be handed over in June of this year, the ship has been revised, now it is working out tasks in Baltiysk. The weapons are 80-90% tested. He has already traveled 45,000 miles," Ponomarev said.

According to him, the frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" is planned to be sent for mooring trials in late 2017 and early 2018. "The entire set of tests is planned to be carried out in 2018, to be handed over at the end of next year," he said.

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

In addition, according to him, the fourth hull of the 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 (OPK). The shipbuilding assets of the defense industry complex were pledged on loans from the International Industrial Bank, which was declared bankrupt. In September 2012, United Shipbuilding Corporation JSC acquired at auction a 75% stake in the shipyard for 12.448 billion rubles, consolidating 96.78% of Severnaya Verf shares under its control.

"Now a new SAP is being prepared ( state armament program - IF), Then ( after its approval - and F) we will talk about promising construction," Ponomarev said, answering a question about plans for the further construction of the project's frigates.

The most modern

"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov" is the flagship of project 22350, which was developed by the Northern Design Bureau. The laying of the frigate took place at the Severnaya Verf Shipbuilding Plant in St. Petersburg on February 1, 2006. The deadline for handing over the frigate to the fleet was repeatedly postponed. Initially, it was planned to be handed over 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, Severnaya Verf says. ".

Ships of project 22350 are created using stealth technology - the values ​​of the physical fields of frigates are minimized. Due to the original architecture of the superstructure, the ships have a reduced reflective surface, which reduces their radar visibility. Frigates are designed to conduct combat operations in the far ocean zone against enemy surface ships and submarines, to repel attacks by air attack weapons, 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 meters, a speed of up to 29 knots, a cruising range of 4.5 thousand miles, an autonomy 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, the Redut anti-aircraft missile system, launchers for 16 Onyx or Caliber-NKE anti-ship missiles. The "Packet-NK" complex was used as an anti-submarine weapon. Carries a Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter on board.

On the frigate "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov" outfitting work continues. In March of this year, we visited the Severnaya Verf shipyard and saw how the Project 22350 frigate is being built.

At the moment, the Severnaya Verf shipbuilding enterprise is busy building three frigates of project 22350: Admiral Gorshkov (undergoing state tests in the Barents and White Seas), Admiral Kasatonov (under completion at the shipyard berth) and Admiral Golovko ( the formation of the hull has been completed, the engines will be installed in the near future).

The Kasatonov was launched in December 2014. Factory and state sea trials are scheduled for 2017. The delivery of the frigate is planned for the end of 2017, after the completion of all tests, which will take place in two stages. The first - in the Baltic Fleet, in combat training grounds; the second - in the Northern Fleet, in the waters of the Barents Sea.

Now the shipyard has begun equipping the living quarters on the frigate. The shipbuilders have a lot of work to do, because the number of the Kasatonov's crew is about 200 people. The move-in of personnel is planned for November 2016. The first crew of the frigate will be trained by this time at the joint training center of the Russian Navy in St. Petersburg.

“In parallel with the construction of a new ship, we are starting to train the crew. Theoretical and practical training of each crew member is carried out using a realistic training base and new training programs. By the time it is transferred to the Navy, each frigate already has a trained crew,” said the head of the center, Captain 1 rank Leonid Zinchenko.

Outfitting work continues on the frigate. The systems of power plants and general ship systems with service mechanisms have already been manufactured, assembled and tested.

Electrical installation work has been completed, power supply to the main switchboard in the bow and stern power stations has been provided and tested. At the moment, the ship is being switched to regular lighting.

The shipbuilders also tested fuel tanks for tightness. The ship received fuel. By the way, the frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" is able to take a supply of fuel that will allow it to cover distances of 4.5 thousand miles without refueling.

Project 22350 frigates were developed by the Northern Design Bureau. These are ships with a long forecastle and a solid superstructure that makes the ship less visible on radar. That is why the frigates of the project were nicknamed "invisible".

The "Admiral of the Kasatonov Fleet" is designed to conduct combat operations in oceanic and sea areas against enemy surface ships and submarines, repel air attack attacks both independently and as part of a formation.

The Kasatonov is armed with an A-192 naval artillery mount of 130 mm caliber, launchers for 16 Caliber-NK cruise missiles and the Poliment-Redut anti-aircraft missile system to repel air strikes.

The main strike complex, antennas and special equipment are mounted on the ship in posts and aggregates. A new generation radar station has already been installed, designed to illuminate the air and surface situation at long distances.

The ship is 135 meters long and 16 meters wide. Displacement - 4500 tons. The frigate is capable of speeds up to 30 knots.

Project 22350 frigates are fundamentally new warships. They are capable of solving assigned tasks in the waters of the World Ocean: the ship's cruising range is 4.5 thousand nautical miles, autonomy is 30 days. And when refueling and replenishing food, these characteristics are completely unlimited.

The ship's hydroacoustic complex makes it possible to carry out search, detection and tracking of submarines at a completely new qualitative level and to "spot" torpedo launches at long distances.

In March 2014, it was announced that the first two Project 22350 frigates would be part of the Northern Fleet.

Kirill Kleymenov

Navy sailors are starting to test the newest ship - the frigate Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov. In honor of the first deputy commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy, Hero of the Soviet Union, commander of the Black Sea and Northern Fleets. And this frigate is also called the "master of the seas." He is able to destroy almost any target, protect himself from enemy aircraft and radars - and all this even in a storm.

The newest anti-aircraft missile system "Polyment-Redut" is designed to destroy any, including low-flying targets of a potential enemy. It is possible to load missiles of various ranges into 32 missile silos - short, medium and for firing at long distances. Moreover, the peculiarity of the installation is that all types and classes of missiles can be combined depending on the tasks.

But not only from the air. The newest frigate "Admiral Kasatonov" is capable of repelling the threat from land and water. Anti-submarine torpedoes, artillery mounts, but the main weapon of the "master of the seas" - this is the name of the frigate for the ability to perform any tasks in the far sea zone - of course, the Caliber missile systems that have already thundered all over the world.

The frigates of this series, in fact, are such large escort, defense and fire support ships, the first to be built in post-Soviet Russia. The lead ship of the project, the Admiral Gorshkov, was enlisted in the fleet this summer. "Admiral Kasatonov", the second in the project, goes to the test.

“We believe that in terms of its tactical and technical characteristics, this ship is not inferior to NATO ships, and even surpasses certain types of weapons of military equipment. More than 20 development works were worked out, that is, the latest weapon systems. They have been tested and tested with good quality,” says Vladimir Tryapichnikov, head of the shipbuilding department of the Russian Navy.

Before going to sea, every detail is important - even the name of the frigate is polished to a shine. The ship is almost invisible to the enemy - the hull is made using stealth technology, its own radiation is minimal. Improved seaworthiness. You can use all types of weapons even in a five-point storm - with a wave of about three meters.

“Everything is very easy to manage, everything is digitized, analog technology is a thing of the past. It is easier for personnel to learn on this technique, basically only keyboards and monitors are left everywhere,” explains the commander of the Admiral Kasatonov frigate, captain 1st rank Ivan Rogatin.

There is bustle on the navigation bridge - the crew is formed and completed a full course of training. By the way, the personnel - contractors and conscripts - have already assessed the living conditions of service.

The standard sailor's cabin is designed for 24 people. Conditions, if not homely, but quite comfortable; beds, lockers for personal belongings, there is even a TV to keep abreast of the latest events. And the main difference from Soviet ships is that instead of ventilation, which does not always work, there is a full-fledged air conditioning system. The infirmary is like a small hospital. Everything is here, even the operating room.

“As you can see, the specially adjustable light for adjusting the light exclusively to the surgical field, the table has many modifications, many devices for hanging droppers,” says Anton Ivanov, head of the medical service of the Admiral Kasatonov frigate.

Dinner is already being prepared in the galley. The crew has been on board for almost half a year, and during this time its own traditions have developed here. Every Saturday sailors make dumplings. Like at home.

You can also call home, but modern smartphones are banned here. Only old push-button tubes, no cameras or internet. Still, the object is secret. In the next month, the sailors will check the operation of the power plant, radio electronics and communications, and of course, weapons. At the sea arctic training grounds "Admiral Kasatonov" and the first firing is coming. After successful exams, he will be in the Northern Fleet to carry out military service.

St. Petersburg, February 5 - RIA Novosti. The first serial frigate of project 22350 "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov", being built at the Severnaya Verf shipyard (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation), is 98% technically ready, Igor Ponomarev, general director of the plant, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

"The Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov frigate is in a high degree of technical readiness - 98%. But given the fact that some of the weapons have not been tested to the end, we have now formed schedules for the delivery of the ship, which we will present to the Ministry of Defense," Ponomarev said.

According to him, in February it is planned to place the crew on the frigate, which has already arrived in St. Petersburg and is undergoing training. “We are planning to bring the Kasatonov to factory tests this year, which will allow us to check the power engineering, general ship systems, and the ventilation system. equipment testing will continue," the CEO said.

Ponomarev noted that the frigates "Admiral of the Fleet Golovko" and "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Isakov" are being built in accordance with the deadlines approved by the Ministry of Defense. He recalled that the most complex models of equipment are involved in the 22350 project, which should be put into service as serial.

The frigate "Admiral Fleet Kasatonov" is the first serial ship of project 22350. The project was developed by the Northern Design Bureau. Project 22350 frigates will become the most modern ships of the Russian Navy in their class. Thanks to the original architecture of the superstructure (stealth), the reflective surface of the ships is reduced, which reduces their radar visibility.
