MW: Russian destroyers of the 80s again began to pose a threat to NATO

12

Russia is actively working on the modernization of warships built during the Soviet Union. Currently, the Russian Navy is armed with only 3 cruisers and 11 destroyers, but their re-equipment with modern weapons increases their combat effectiveness and efficiency.

Military Watch Magazine drew attention to the ambitious project to modernize the destroyer Marshal Shaposhnikov, which was commissioned by the Navy in 1985. Developed as a large anti-submarine ship, it received new weapons during a deep reconstruction and can be effectively used against enemy surface ships.



MW writes that during the modernization, the destroyer was equipped with new radars, electronics and weapons. In particular, Marshal Shaposhnikov received the latest Otvet anti-submarine missiles, 8 3S24 launchers for Uran anti-ship missiles, and a 100-mm A-190-01 artillery system with a stealth turret.Technology.


The main improvement of the destroyer, according to the American magazine, was its equipping with 3S14 universal launchers, which are also compatible with Zircon hypersonic missiles.

The destroyer Marshal Shaposhnikov, capable of accommodating up to 16 Zircon missiles along with eight Uran missiles and its anti-submarine and air defense arsenal, has the potential to neutralize an entire surface strike group […] Ships in the Pacific are still expected to have Priority should be given to installing expensive new Zircon missiles, which, even in small numbers, can significantly change the balance of power in the region

writes MW.

The magazine recalled that the American Harpoon and Chinese YJ-18s are much inferior to the Russian Zircons. These missiles are considered the most dangerous means of destroying enemy ships due to their Mach 9 speed and range up to 1000 km.

This allows ships using it to exercise control over extremely large areas of the sea and potentially neutralize fleets several times their size, while remaining out of danger.

    Sure sure. And where will the target designation come from? Even the USSR did not completely solve the problem of the control center, and therefore began to build its own aircraft carriers, so that there was something to cover aerial reconnaissance. And without a control center, long-range missiles are just rubbish.

      Well - Liana seems to be almost demolished? Two Peonies - of course, not enough, but they promised to launch more in the next couple of years ..

        This is the one that has been created since 2009? For operational surveillance of all AUGs, many times more satellites are needed.

          You decide what you are talking about. About target designation or surveillance. For the second "Liana" is not needed.

    When will we rivet new ships, and not remake junk? So much time has been lost... Do we really need a military shake-up all the time for a powerful breakthrough? And those scoundrels, because of whom we are decades behind, will again come out dry from the water? ...

      these ships are an expensive toy, until the most necessary things are established in the ground forces (satellites, drones, communications, etc.), the fleet will be financed according to the residual principle (as I see it) ...

    Anyone poses a threat. In extreme cases, jump out from behind a rock in the fog ....
    And rockets are a plus.
    What for a stealth gun turret on a non-stealth ship? A bit unclear.
    It is unlikely that NATO has such missiles that they are aimed exactly at the artillery tower .....

      What for a stealth gun turret on a non-stealth ship?

      It's just that a stealth gun turret is the easiest to do. I welded a box from flat sheets with radio beams reflected upwards, here's stealth for you. It remains to make the gun barrel square.

    In order:
    if a steamer sails on the high seas, then everyone who needs it can see it. Stealth technologies will not help here.
    targeting is provided by enemy satellites, if you think that the exchange of data between satellites and the earth is out of our area of ​​attention, you must disappoint

    The note. 8 cells 3S14 for the destroyer, - for RTOs also 8 cells, there was not enough space for 32, at least, because this is a volley, not a pinprick, completely knocked down by air defense. Here is a cannon from a funny series, not better than a few strike and reconnaissance UAVs, but a cannon, a tribute to history, like a cannon on a Su-57 ...
