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 about 4,550 tons and a
length of 135 meters. The capacity of its diesel-gas-turbine power plant
is 65,000 hp. © Copyright 2015 TASS. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Link to Admiral Gorshkov (Project 22350) Frigate technical datasheet |
