Eighth International Naval Salon. Eighth Naval Salon opens

During the International Naval Show, which will be held in St. Petersburg from June 28 to July 2, ships will be moored at the berths of the marine station, and high-speed and auxiliary boats will be located in the Lenexpo harbor. Among the "debutants" of the event are the small rocket ship "Zeleny Dol" and the border guard patrol "Betrayed". The Central Naval Portal tells what to see near the embankment during the exhibition.

Project 11356 frigate "Admiral Makarov"

The largest ship approaching the Marine Station will be "". This is the third ship of project 11356, which is now undergoing state tests until the end of the year.


The Admiral Makarov was laid down at the Yantar Shipyard on February 29, 2012, and launched on September 2, 2015. The transfer of "Admiral Makarov" to the customer was planned for the first quarter of 2017, later it was repeatedly postponed.

The first two ships of the series - "Admiral Grigorovich" and "Admiral Essen" - handed over to the Navy on March 11 and June 7, 2016, now they are performing tasks as part of the permanent task force of the Navy in the Mediterranean Sea.

Project 11356 frigates are designed for long-distance sea voyages and combating surface ships and submarines, as well as repelling air attacks. The ship's armament includes: the A-190 100 mm artillery mount, anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems, torpedo and anti-submarine weapons, as well as high-range Caliber-NK cruise missiles. It can also carry a carrier-based Ka-27 or Ka-31 helicopter.

Displacement "Admiral Makarov" - 4035 tons, length - 125 meters, width - 15 meters. The ship has a speed of up to 30 knots. Autonomy - 30 days. Crew - 180 people and 20 marines.

Corvette project 20380 "Stable"

"" - the second largest ship at the International Naval Show. It was built at Severnaya Verf and handed over to the fleet in July 2014. The corvette is designed for operations in the near sea zone and combating enemy surface ships and submarines, as well as for landing support.


The corvette is equipped with a universal gun mount, anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine torpedoes and anti-aircraft missile weapons. As in the case of Yaroslav the Wise, the ship has a helipad for the Ka-27PL.

Project 21631 small rocket ship

One of the small missile ships project 21631 - "Green Dol" or "Serpukhov". Both ships fired back in the summer of 2016 with Caliber missiles at the positions of the Jabhat Fatah al-Sham militants (the former Jabhat al-Nusra, a terrorist group banned on the territory of Russian Federation).


Zeleny Dol and Serpukhov are the third and fourth serial ships of the Buyan-M project, respectively, built in 2015 at the Zelenodolsk Shipyard. Initially, RTOs were part of the Black Sea Fleet, but in the fall of 2016 they were transferred to the Baltic.

The ships are equipped with the latest high-precision long-range weapons - the Kalibr-NK universal missile system, designed to destroy sea and coastal targets.

Minesweeper "Alexander Obukhov"

Among the ships that forum visitors will see will be the youngest ship of the Baltic Fleet - the minesweeper "". The ship entered the fleet in December 2016.

"Alexander Obukhov" - the lead ship of project 12700 "Alexandrite". According to the plans of the command of the Navy, the ships of the project will form the basis of mine-sweeping forces Russian fleet. Now the Sredne-Nevsky Shipbuilding Plant is building three minesweepers 12700, the construction of four more has been contracted.


The ship is notable for its hull made of monolithic fiberglass, formed by vacuum infusion. The hull made of composite materials is distinguished by higher strength and greater survivability of the ship when searching for mines. In addition, the composite body is lighter and more durable. On "Alexander Obukhov" this technology was used for the first time.

The technology for the production of composite minesweepers is owned only by the Sredne-Nevsky shipbuilding plant, in the future the Amur shipbuilding plant plans to master it.

Small landing craft hovercraft type "Zubr"

The fleet will send the world's largest ship to the salon on air cushion- project 12332 "Zubr". Thanks to the air cushion, the Zubrs are able to move on the ground. The ship can accommodate three tanks or 10 armored personnel carriers.


Now the Navy is armed with two ships of the project, built in the early 90s. After the Rybinsk "Saturn" began import substitution of gas turbine engines installed on the ship, the naval command started talking about the upcoming resumption of the construction of "Zubrov".

Project 22460 border guard ship "Betrayed"

The patrol boat "Betrayed" was launched in April 2017 at the Almaz shipyard.


Guards with a displacement of 630 tons are built by order of the FSB border service. The ship became the first project in Russia, on the deck of which an unmanned aircraft was landed aircraft helicopter type. In addition to the drone, the ship's aviation group includes a light helicopter. The watchman is equipped with an AK-630 artillery mount and a Kord machine gun.

To improve living conditions, the ships are equipped with a sauna, a small pool and an air conditioning system. The speed of the guard can reach 30 knots. The project is distinguished by the use of stealth technology and a high class of automation.

Landing craft

In addition to ships, boats designed for various tasks will be located in the Lenexpo water area. Among them are landing boats of projects 11770 "Serna" and 21820 "Dugong", developed by the Alekseev Central Design Bureau.


What makes the boats unique is the principle of movement of the vessel on an air cavity. This know-how of the Nizhny Novgorod design bureau was used only in their development projects. Project 11770 boats are capable of carrying one tank or two infantry fighting vehicles or armored personnel carriers, project 21820 - twice as much. The boats are designed for 90 personnel.

It is curious that three boats of project 11770 are in service with the fleet of the United Arab Emirates, and all five boats of project 21820 built are named after heroes Patriotic War 1812, including Mikhail Lermontov and Denis Davydov.

Patrol and anti-sabotage boats

Among the boats on the IMDS there will be an anti-sabotage "". The boats of this project protect the waters of the bases of the fleet. The Grachonok is armed with a 14.5 mm Vladimirov machine gun, designed for firing at lightly armored vehicles and capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to two kilometers and at a height of up to one and a half kilometers. In addition, the boat is equipped with grenade launchers and anti-aircraft missile systems.


From patrol boats, visitors to the salon will see high-speed "Mongoose" (FSB border service) and "", capable of accelerating to 53 and 48 knots, respectively.

Auxiliary vessels and boats

A project 19920 "Baklan" hydrographic boat will come from Lomonosov to St. Petersburg.


The multifunctional modular boat of project 23370 is remarkable in that its purpose depends on the installed equipment. It is used as a rescue, diving or medical vessel. The boats are manufactured by the KAMPO Orekhovo-Zuyevo enterprise and transferred to the Navy in the form of block modules, which are subsequently assembled at the location of the search and rescue forces of the fleets.

In addition, a project 23040 rescue boat equipped with a remote-controlled uninhabited underwater vehicle and designed to perform diving operations at a depth of up to 60 meters, extinguish fires on ships and pump out water from an emergency ship will come to the harbor.

Among other boats and auxiliary vessels the sea tug of the project 02800 "MB-96", the work boat BL-820 and the rigid inflatable boat BL-680 manufactured by the company "Mnev and Co", on the basis of which the consortium "Typhoon" will develop a crewless boat for the minesweeper also a number of new developments and marine technology.

Sandpaper from St. Petersburg, where the eighth International Maritime Defense Show (IMDS) takes place from June 28 to July 2. And even two days before its closing, it can already claim the title of "The Most-Most", and the point here is not even in the scope of the event. And not in the absence (usual since 2015) of foreign warships, which is partly offset by the large number of Russian pennants presented at the salon. The latter, by the way, include:

  • the newest frigate of project 11356 "Admiral Makarov";
  • project 11540 patrol ship "Yaroslav the Wise";
  • corvette of the project 20380 "Resistant";
  • base minesweeper project 12700 "Alexander Obukhov";
  • small rocket ship of project 21631 "Serpukhov";
  • project 12322 landing hovercraft "Evgeny Kocheshkov";
  • high-speed patrol boat project 12150 "Mongoose";
  • project 21980 anti-sabotage boat "Nakhimovets";
  • large hydrographic boat of project 19920 "BGK-2149";
  • patrol boat project 03160 "Raptor";
  • multifunctional modular boat project 23370, etc.

No, it's not about this squadron. The point is the scale of the plans announced at IMDS-2017 to build up the forces and means of the Russian Navy. Especially - in terms of long-range surface ships maritime zone. In fact, at the 8th International Naval Show, the domestic defense industry announced the transition to a qualitatively new stage in the construction of ships and vessels for the Russian Navy.

Recall that at the first stage after the collapse of the USSR, it was about maintaining the combat capability of the most modern units of the fleet. On the second, the emphasis was on the start of updating the underwater component of the strategic nuclear forces (strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation), the introduction of the Caliber missile system, an attempt to build universal landing ships at foreign shipyards, replenishment of the Baltic Fleet with new corvettes, as well as the construction of new frigates for the needs of the Black Sea Fleet and DEPL (diesel-electric submarines).

Perhaps the most discussed news of the salon is the information that the Navy is busy determining the appearance and characteristics of the future new Russian aircraft carrier.

The Russian Navy does not refuse to develop a destroyer with a nuclear power plant of project 23560 "Leader". The project of the ship will be developed by the Northern Design Bureau.

The enterprises of the USC (United Shipbuilding Corporation) have begun to develop a project for the universal amphibious assault ship-helicopter carrier "Priboy". The ship with a total displacement of 23 thousand tons is supposed to be equipped with a gas turbine main power plant. The construction of the Surfs is included in the new state program weapons for 2018-2025.

Based on a modular design, the Nevskoye Design Bureau (Design Bureau) will develop for the Navy projects for a landing helicopter-carrying dock ship with a displacement of about 15,000 tons and a UDC (universal landing ship) with a displacement of about 30,000 tons. Vice Admiral Viktor Bursuk, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy for Armaments, specified that the Navy plans to receive two UDCs by the end of 2025.

The Krylov State Research Center has developed a conceptual design for a corvette that has 24 launchers of the Kalibr complex instead of eight, like its predecessors. The normal displacement of the corvette will be 1980 tons, and the full speed will be 30 knots.

Contrary to earlier rumors, the second trio of Project 11356 frigates - Admiral Istomin, Admiral Butakov and Admiral Kornilov - will not be sold to India. The frigates will be completed for the Russian Navy. This decision is logically linked with the message of USC President Alexei Rakhmanov that Russia from mid-2018 will get rid of dependence on Ukraine in the production of gas turbine units for surface ships.

In 2018, the second project 20386 corvette will be laid down in St. Petersburg.

By the end of 2020, the Zelenodolsk Shipyard will build five RTOs (small missile ships) of Project 22800 Karakurt for the Russian Navy.

By 2025, the Navy will receive four new Project 677 Lada diesel-electric submarines.

The United Engine Corporation at the new test facility in Rybinsk has begun testing M90FR gas turbine engines designed for Project 22350 frigates.

The United Engine Corporation has resumed production of AL-31F series 3 turbojet engines designed for carrier-based fighters Su-33. The first batch of engines has already been produced and delivered to the customer.

Demonstrated, developed by the Tula KBP (instrument design bureau), anti-aircraft missile and artillery complex "Pantsir-ME". There is information that the Russian Navy has already ordered a batch of such ZRAKs for installation on new and modernized ships.

An export version of the latest universal deep-sea homing torpedo "Physicist" is presented.

Started mass production corrected anti-submarine aerial bomb "Zagon-2".

PS. Well, and a little strange - the general director of Admiralty Shipyards Alexander Buzakov said that the delivery of a series of six diesel-electric submarines of project 636 Varshavyanka for Pacific Fleet shifted to 2022. According to Buzakov, this shift in terms turned out to be related to funding. If the lack of finances makes it necessary to shift the construction time for relatively cheap diesel-electric submarines of a project already well developed in the construction and operation, then many other plans become doubtful.

However, the matter may be different - it is argued that the "childhood illnesses" of the boats pr.677 "Lada" are mostly overpowered, moreover, anaerobic (air-independent) is almost ready for them power plant, and, accordingly, the fleet would like to receive boats of this particular project instead of the old Varshavyanka, but only the St. Petersburg Admiralty Shipyards can build them - accordingly, the shipyards unload old boats from orders.

Non-nuclear submarines pr.677 have completely new properties - they combine an even lower noise level than pr.636 with huge autonomy (the boat can move without surfacing for 20-30 days, and the overall autonomy is comparable to nuclear submarines), while the boat can launch Caliber missiles with high intensity. That is, these are boats that acquire strategic qualities (strike missile carriers), while formally not falling under restrictive agreements and maintaining a relatively low price.

If everything works out, the fleet wants to get as many of these boats as possible - even at the cost of cutting other programs. This has already been stated quite frankly.

MOSCOW, June 28 - RIA Novosti. The Eighth International Naval Show (IMDS-2017), which will be attended by defense industry enterprises and delegations from 47 states, begins its work in St. Petersburg.

Several dozen Msta-S howitzers entered service with the Central Military DistrictThe Msta-S howitzer is designed to destroy manpower, armored and unarmored military equipment, field fortifications, enemy command posts and rear facilities.

Exhibition organized by Russian ministry industry and trade, takes place from June 28 to July 2 on the territory of the "Lenexpo" and "Marine Station" complexes.

This year, the Russian defense industry will be represented at the IMDS by the only state intermediary in Russia for the export of the entire range of military products - Rosoboronexport, as well as the United shipbuilding corporation(OSK), the Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defense Concern, the High Precision Complexes holding and a number of other companies.

Salon program

Visitors to IMDS-2017 will have an extensive demonstration program. So, at the berths of the Sea Station, a patrol ship of project 11540 "Yaroslav the Wise", a corvette of project 20380 "Stoykiy", a base minesweeper of project 12700 "Alexander Obukhov", as well as a number of boats from the Navy and the Border Guard Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia will be presented.

As Vladimir Kozhin, Assistant to the President of Russia for Military-Technical Cooperation, said earlier at a press conference dedicated to the salon, potential foreign customers of Russian naval equipment show the greatest interest in boats designed to protect the coastal zone.

He said that today the supply of equipment for the Navy takes last place in the total volume of Russian arms exports (about 7%), however, there are all prerequisites for the growth of this indicator.

In addition, the combat capabilities of ten naval artillery mounts, as well as samples of small arms, will be demonstrated to official foreign delegations at the Rzhevka training ground of the Russian Defense Ministry.

Novelties at IMDS-2017

The Navy will continue building non-nuclear submarines "Lada"Earlier it was reported that the Kronstadt diesel-electric submarine will be launched in 2018. The lead submarine of project 677 "Lada" - "St. Petersburg" - has been undergoing trial operation in the Northern Fleet since 2010.

Among the new developments presented at the Naval Salon is the naval version of the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft gun-missile system - Pantsir-ME, developed by the Tula Instrument Design Bureau.

This ZRPK is capable of simultaneously hitting up to four targets flying at speeds up to 1,000 meters per second, with a reaction time of three to five seconds. Marine "Pantsir" can hit targets with missile weapons at a distance of up to 20 kilometers, an altitude of two meters to 15 kilometers; and artillery weapons - at a distance of up to four kilometers and an altitude of zero to three kilometers.

The Splav Research and Production Association will demonstrate at IMDS-2017 the upgraded 90R1 anti-submarine missiles for the RPK-8 complex, which have not been supplied to military sailors for the past 15 years.

Compared to the original version of this weapon (90R missiles), the 90R1 is eight to ten times more effective at hitting underwater targets. It operates at a distance of up to 4.3 kilometers and a depth of up to one kilometer.
