Military Watch: With new missiles, the power of the Russian fleet will increase significantly

February 7 2023 13

In the near future, the Russian fleet will receive a new sea-based missile defense system with a range of 400 km, which will immeasurably increase the power of air defense not only for ships. This was reported by Military Watch, citing its sources and analyzing the prospects for the Russian Navy.

The publication notes that project 1 multi-purpose frigates of the 22350st rank with URO of the far sea zone of the Admiral Gorshkov type are now the most combat-ready combat surface units of the Russian fleet. These frigates will certainly receive the mentioned missiles. At the same time, the Poliment-Redut anti-aircraft missile systems with vertical launchers mounted on frigates are expected to be integrated into larger ships with a large number of missiles in the future.

The Russians are currently deploying surface-to-air missiles with a maximum range of 150 km, which means that new missiles with a range of 400 km will allow ships to control areas seven times larger.

- says the publication.

Experts suggest that the new missiles are derived from the 40N6 missile, which was developed to increase the range of ground-based S-400 air defense systems, or close to the 9M82MD, developed for the army's S-300V4 air defense system. Both SAMs were designed in such a way that, due to their flight and other characteristics, they could hit even low-flying aircraft that were over the horizon. Moreover, 40N6 is valued not only for its flight range, but also for its extreme speed exceeding Mach 14, which allows it to hit most of the existing ballistic missiles in the world.

Tests have shown that even missiles flying at speeds over Mach 8 can be reliably hit. The integration of the naval version of the missile defense system will allow Russian ships to potentially make a significant contribution to strategic air defense / missile defense, similar to how American, Japanese and South Korean destroyers with AEGIS using SM-3 and SM-6 missiles have long been doing. Unlike these three AEGIS operators, Russia has typically deployed its air/missile defenses from land-based mobile launchers rather than from ships. Thus, integration into ships could provide new deployment options that would complement the S-400 and S-500 systems deployed on land.

The naval version of the S-400 and its missile have been developed for more than 10 years, and it was originally planned that heavy nuclear missile cruisers of the Kirov type of project 1144 Orlan would be the first to receive them. But they will be received by frigates of the Admiral Gorshkov type, which are already armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles, which combine high maneuverability with a speed of Mach 9 and a range of 1000 km.

The combination of the analogue of the 40N6 missile with the Tsikron missile will provide Russian ships with additional offensive and defensive capabilities that very few classes of ships in the world can challenge

One "Hold!" better than two "you get it"...

Stop conjugating the future if you want to be believable.

I am glad that the frigates will receive air defense, since 90 percent of the power of the Russian fleet is underwater, then improving the frigates will definitely not be able to increase its power at times ... since little is known about submarines, journalists exaggerate everything about frigates, meanwhile, the role of frigates is auxiliary, especially since 8 frigates 1155, a pair of 1135, 3 11356, a pair of Baltic ones, a pair of Gorshkovs, they don’t have these weapons, well, a couple of those under construction will probably be better armed, but the vast majority of the fleet are old projects and they still have to serve 10 years or more

They lured them to hang noodles. These Yusovskie precociousness.
Expensive mega-voic "SAMs ... with a range of 400 km" are unlikely to solve the problem of the main strike force of the YSA and K - inexpensive low-flying subsonic anti-ship missiles,

Such missiles, according to the description of specialists at the VO, cause a lot of emergency problems to everyone, even during exercises.
Catching up with them is not a problem - the problem is to detect, aim and shoot down.

I don’t understand why such a huge machine for the production of new weapons and technical equipment should be maintained if no one is going to use them ... How much longer will we ... compare? We are beaten by everyone who is not lazy, even the fucking Balts and Poles, and we are blowing all our cheeks (((

God forbid that such missiles began to enter service, our Pacific Fleet in our time, unfortunately, is inferior in number of ships against the Japanese coast guard, we urgently need to strengthen on the eastern borders ..... Whoever knows history is armed and warned and ready ....

  you need to stop thinking with ships of the 19th century, our Pacific Fleet is 100500 times more powerful than the Japanese one, it can smash the entire island of Honshu to shreds and turn it into scorched earth (after that we take Hokaido for ourselves, and give Okinawa to friendly China), so the number of surface ships in the Pacific Fleet is not so important , I consider the Pacific Fleet base in Vladivostok to be closed, because it is being shot through by Japanese coastal missiles, sell real estate, strengthen the base in Kamchatka by transferring all ships of the first and second rank there, leave a small base in Sovetskaya Harbor for large landing craft, a pair of nuclear submarines and ships of the third rank .. ... we are not going to attack the Japanese, therefore we do not need a developed Pacific Fleet, but we must be able to inflict such a retaliatory strike on Japan in the event of their aggression, so that it is not habitual, therefore we need SSBNs and ships to ensure the security of the water area in Kamchatka

0 to 0 is still 0. I'm glad of course ... but there is no need for dancing ... The Black Sea Fleet is like in a blockade. BF is there. For that, the corvette threatens America ... It’s better to try Poseidon - at least in England ...

For 20 years, we have already been taught that what is said will not necessarily be fulfilled, but what will be for sure, the money will be allocated and will go in an unknown direction. For the money that was spent on the military-industrial complex over twenty years, it was possible to create an army equipped with the most modern equipment and weapons, and the billions withdrawn from the country and the country's lost gold and foreign exchange reserves, it was possible to build about 20 aircraft carrier formations, 5 thousand Armats and 2 thousand su -57. And as a result, neither money nor weapons, and again we are building grandiose plans, which are subsequently broken into a mediocre army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

What power are we talking about in three or four frigates per fleet. Journalists always make an elephant out of a lame duck. Yes, and anti-aircraft weapons are only for defense, but as with offensive strikes, all 16 cells each, when the enemy has 80 or more. Ships are being built slowly and with problems with engines and other things, so we won’t see a large fleet for a long time. It was correctly noted here (Vladimir 1155), with the range of missile and anti-ship missiles, the basis of protection should be coastal-based, with the ability to quickly transfer to the desired theater of operations. The strategy should correspond to the possibilities and sufficiency. We have problems with this, because the "cut" rules the ball today.

I completely agree with you. What's funny is that now, increasing the production of the military-industrial complex at times, we are manufacturing everything Soviet and only Soviet: Soviet MLRS and tanks: t-72,80,90 and not a word about conceptual equipment such as armat, su-57, UAV-hunter, which for ten years has only one copy, one flies and one on the ground. Tens of years and hundreds of billions and maybe trillions just tore apart and went nowhere.

  Valera, maybe you and Oleg pulled these trillions if you know everything? If yes, if you don’t have enough brains for more. And the fact that Russia has been at war with the West for 80 years you do not know! And do not write and do not provide estimates. For you, only shitting on our country and our people. Do you write from Ukraine to cause discontent among people? The power to change for Western bedding? What else do you want? Is your dill Maidan in Moscow to resist? What are you not doing well? what are you missing? How does the earth wear people like you?

What's the point of this weapon? Here, either everything will be stolen, or we will not dare to use it. And if the admirals in Russia also have the same level as the generals, then they will go to the bottom even on the outskirts.
