Corvette "Sharp" received a serious advantage over its predecessors

10

In early July, the Amur Shipyard launched the Rezkiy corvette. The ship of project 20380, which was originally conceived as a "patrol" of the near sea zone, in fact turned out to be much more functional.

To begin with, thanks to the efforts of domestic engineers, it was possible to place an impressive arsenal of weapons on a relatively small vessel. So, "Sharp" received 8 anti-ship missiles "Uran-M", two anti-aircraft guns AK-630M, 100-mm gun, SAM "Kortik-M", two four-tube torpedo tubes "Packet-NK" and even an anti-submarine attack helicopter Ka- 27.



As a result, the "patrol" can now confidently sink even destroyers superior in class. Moreover, back in 2017, the Boykiy and Soobrazitelny corvettes of the same project made a passage from the Baltic to the Mediterranean Sea, confirming not only the previously announced cruising range of 4 km, but also the ability to effectively fire at air and surface targets in a six-point storm away from the coastal zone.

Thus, the borders of the Russian corvettes were significantly extended. But this, as it turned out, is not all.

"Sharp", although it is a project 20380 ship, received a serious advantage over its predecessors. The corvette was equipped with a new radar that combines the modes of observation and guidance of all systems of onboard weapons to the target.

In fact, electronics intended for future frigates of the improved project 20385 are being "tested" on it. highly classified.

    With Chinese engines. Very "formidable". Do not go far from the coast, do not give full speed.

      The wise can make mistakes, but to lie so blatantly, this is already an order.

    He can't fix it! That the first, that the second is always anti-Russia propaganda. They are trying very hard on my uncle from behind the hill. They sit for days from morning to evening, it's a pity to watch. They always have some disadvantages and they are so smart. Propagandists !!!

    The Kh-35M, which is the basis of the Uran-M, can sink ships with a displacement of up to 5000 tons, so the author has a bobble with the destroyers, but the frigates, corvettes - come one at a time wink
    And, as noted above in the commentary, there is no Kortika-M, but there is a Redoubt

    The corvette should be a mass, inexpensive ship with moderate weaponry. From the fact that he was stuffed with a bunch of everything, he still did not become the first rank, but this affected the price, and he is not capable of sinking destroyers, and he is not faced with such tasks.
