The third project 11356 ship 'Trikand' is prepared for launching in 'Yantar' plant (Kaliningrad-Konigsberg, Russia). The 'BrahMos' missiles launchers are already installed on she, reported the workers team newspaper. The next ship will seemingly be a frigate for the Black Sea Navy they said. It would be a smooth transition for 'russificated' 11356 project, initially developed particularly for Indian Navy. The Russian systems will be installed there instead of Indian and Western equipment.
And some history:
I thought the only non-Russian systems that were substituted in the Talwars were the navigation radar and sonar? Is there anything else?
ReplyDeleteAlso, will it use the Ukrainian Zorya-Mashproekt gas turbines or the new NPO Saturn models? Thx.
Gas-turbines will be the new joint Saturn-Zorya project M90FR - a high-capacity (27500 hp) marine gas-turbine engine npo-saturn.ru/?pid=94 in either combination with Russian marine diesels ('Zvezda' or 'Kolomna plant')
ReplyDeleteIs that the one developed for the Gorshkov class? Won't the propulsion plant, shafting etc. need reworking if they're adding a new powerplant?
