The first from two frigate 'Gepard 3.9' for Vietnam based on pr.11661 was launched in Dec. 12 in Zelenodolsk (Russia). The light frigate is intended for operation against hostile ships and submarines in both the littoral and deep sea water. It can operate alone or as a part of a battle group. It's used to become a big instrument for protection of the national Vietnamese economic zone. At last Russia and Vietnam have started a number of joint projects including oil exploration in the shelf. A year ago Russia has officially offered to Chanoi to turn using national currencies for trade progress.

ReplyDeleteGepard - is a light frigate, comparing to Talwars it has about 2 times less displacement. Naturally, it has less powerful missiles (Kh-35 Uran), less powerful radars and electronic equipment, shorter range and the time of autonomy, lower navigability in storm. However, the stealth characteristics of two must be well comparable, but it's my personal estimation, have no a confirming sourse.

ReplyDeleteAbout the cost : the exact cost is the commercial secret till this question will arise in Vietnamese parliament. The ship has characteristics as follow:
-total displacement — 2090 т,
CODOG
-full speed — 27-28 knots,
-speed with only diesels — 20 узлов.
-range — 5,000 mil.
-Autonomy — 20 days,
-crew - 103 per.
- As per one ton of displacement Gepard cannot be significantly different from Talwars, the cost must be close to the half, i.e. as $200 mil.
The surveillance radar will be Furke, the anti-aircraft\missiles - Palma-SU with optic-electronic detection. As about EW, FCS etc I must found a more reliable source for itemizing.
