Russia's Defense Ministry to Order Eight(8) Project 23560 Leader-class Nuclear-Powered Destroyers
Citat:The Russian Defense Ministry plans to order eight Project 23560 Leader-class nuclear-powered guided missile destroyers, with the construction of the lead ship slated for 2018, a source in the defense industry has told TASS.
Scale model showing the Project 23560E "Shkval-class" Destroyer (export variant of Leader-class) at Army 2016 exhibition. Twelve ships of the 10,000t "Leader class" are planned to enter service from 2023-25, split between the Northern and Pacific Fleets. They will all be nuclear powered. They will be fitted with the ABM-capable S-500 SAM and Kalibr (SS-N-27) cruise missile.
According to him, the Severnoye Design Bureau is to complete the destroyer’s preliminary design in the fourth quarter of 2017, after which the military will place a contract for a series of Leaders with the United Shipbuilding Corporation.
"The building of the lead ship is to begin in early 2018 and end by late 2022, i.e. it will take five years," the source said.
"Initially, a 12-ship series had been planned for the Navy, but later the number was reduced to eight - four destroyers for the Northern Fleet and four for the Pacific one. There will be no Leader destroyers in the inventories of the Baltic and Black Sea fleets," the source added.
He said the Leader would carry the Kalibr (NATO reporting name: SS-N-27 Sizzler) and Oniks (SS-N-26 Strobile) missile systems, S-500 Premetei and Poliment-Redut surface-to-air missile systems (the latter is in trials on board the lead ship of the Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov series) and Pantsir-M (SA-22 Greyhound) air defense gun/missile system.
TASS has no official confirmation of the information.
Novi pomoćni brod "Elbrus", remorker za koji tvrde da je najveći i najjači u floti, pošao na fabrička hodna ispitivanja. Uskoro će ući u sastav flote

Vodni putevi zapadne Rusije. Većina manjih ruskih brodova, poput gorepomenutog koji je reka/more klase, može da ide ovim plovnim putevima i da se u unutrašnjim vodama po potrebi sakrije i vrši udare krstarećim raketama. Takođe na ovaj način su povezane kaspijska, crnomorska i baltička flota.
Primera radi nedavno je nova fregata Gepard, pravljena za vijetnamsku mornaricu, prešla iz Kaspijskog u Crno more radi testiranja sistema.
Ode Essen za Crno more u svoju stalnu bazu... :-) Neka samo još Makarova uspiju dostaviti do kraja ove godine... i lijepo pojačanje za crnomorsku flotu... Koliko znam, ovako iz rukava, dva buyana, četiri ili pet varšavjanki i tri Grigoreviča... Nije loše... A svi naoružani kalibrom...
