LoooSeR 7,247 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Quote Despite Zelensky's order, the Nikolaev Shipyard will not be able to complete the Vladimir Veliky corvette due to the lack of technical capabilities. About this on Friday, December 18, said the director of the "Nikolaev shipbuilding plant" Valery Kalashnikov, write NikVesti. According to the director, it is impossible to transfer the unfinished corvette body from the Black Sea plant to the Nikolaev shipbuilding plant for further completion. - It is impossible to transfer the state defense order (for the construction of a corvette - approx.) To the territory of our plant. Impossible due to weight characteristics, it is technically impossible. If it is completed, it will only be possible to implement it on the territory of the Black Sea Shipyard, ”said Valery Kalashnikov. Recall that the program for the construction of four corvettes with a total cost of about $ 2 billion provided for the launch of the first of them - "Vladimir the Great" - in 2015. The ship was laid down at the Black Sea Shipyard in 2010. It is known that by 2021 the Navy wanted to receive a total of four "corvettes". The total amount of financing for the ship construction program was 16.22 billion hryvnia. Good material for big strong dog vs small weak dog meme, Ukraine in Soviet times vs modern one, heh.

Alzoc 234 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 3 hours ago, Lord_James said: A 12 year construction time? They’re going to be obsolete by the time they leave the docks. I think it has partly to do with the Suffren class still being built. The first of its class (Suffren) only launched last year and is still in trial while number 2 and 3 (Duguay-Trouin and Tourville) are being built right now. There are 3 others to build after that and the whole program is already 3 years late IIRC. The last ship of the class, Casabianca, should have been laid down in 2020. The building where they are being assembled can only hold 2 full length hulls at the same time while the sections are constructed elsewhere before being welded together. Photo from Mer et Marine The naval shipyard where our subs are being build is kinda small scale compared to what the US has at it's disposition. Shortly puts there are plenty of potential bottlenecks, especially with programs running late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrappyHead 12 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Pretty neat close up look at Sovremennyy-class destroyer. one of the guest of the show a former commander of the ship mention (take it with a grain of salt) that the main gun was able to shoot a P-15 termit cruise missile using the AK-630 FCS, cool to know the interchangebilty of the system Serge and Scolopax 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gauntlet 8 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Review: Gökdeniz 35mm naval short-range air defense system CIWS for Istanbul-class frigate According to information released by the Turkish naval defense industry, the new generation of Istanbul-class frigate will be fitted with the Gökdeniz naval version of the Korkut self-propelled short-range air defense system that will be mounted on new Istanbul-class of Turkish Navy. a naval version of the Korkut short-range air defense system that was unveiled in May 2019 during the defense exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey. Source: https://www.navyrecognition.com/index.php/focus-analysis/naval-technology/9650-review-goekdeniz-35mm-naval-short-range-air-defense-system-ciws-for-istanbul-class-frigate.html Don't know if it has being posted before, but here it is. Kinda looks like the copied the design of the ASELSAN KORKUT. Wonder how many rounds it has, the Korkut has 400 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KORKUT. Other systems have like twice that. One even 10 times that amount! CIWS with no rotary cannon, the fire rate is also quite low compared to the others. I miss the Avenger.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beer 382 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Why is the platform placed under angle? Is that a weird way to achieve negative gun elevation for close fire? If so the system can cover only one side of the wessel, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alzoc 234 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Asked myself the same question, looking at the video below at 0:49 I guess it is because it seem to be mounted on a testing platform (still weird though): Spoiler The render of the ship below show it positioned normally Beer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alzoc 234 Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 During a test launch, a Kalibr cruise missile crashed only a few dozens meters away from the frigates launching it (no apparent damage on the ship luckily). Launch was recorded in video, if anything it is impressive to watch: https://sputniknews.com/military/202104291082765182-watch-kalibr-cruise-missile-spirals-out-of-control-in-test-by-russias-marshal-shaposhnikov-warship/ Lord_James 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
