(lead ship of Project 22350), in late 2016, Navy Deputy Commander-in-Chief
Vice-Admiral Alexander Fedotenkov said on Friday. When asked about whether
the frigate would be delivered to the Russian Navy in December, Fedotenkov

"This
will be at the end of the year, in November. The task is expected to
be accomplished in November. The trials will be held and completed in
accordance with the schedule," the Navy deputy commander-in-chief
said. "We are controlling all the issues related to the test
continuation and completion," he added. The Project 22350 frigate is designed to fight surface warships and submarines in the ocean and at sea and repel air attacks both independently and within a formation. The Project 22350 frigate is flush-decked and has three-island superstructures, a tower mast and a steel tube. The ship has a lower radar signature, which makes it virtually invisible for the enemy’s radars. The Project 22350 frigate has a displacement of 4,550 tons and a length of 135 meters. The capacity of its diesel-gas-turbine power plant is 65,000 hp. The ship is armed with the new A-192 130mm artillery gun and anti-ship, antisubmarine and air defense missile systems, including the Kalibr and Redut-Poliment systems. The ship is capable of carrying a Kamov Ka-27 (Helix) helicopter or its versions. © Copyright 2015 TASS. All rights reserved.
