Question on project.1154

kinzhal> What is the anti-ship missile on project.1154?
kinzhal> Kh-35? [»]



There aren't any anti-ship missile on the frigate actually. As the first presume, it was planned to arm that project with Kh-35 "Uran" ("uranium"), but the leadship (and sole yet) frigate side No 712 "Neustrashimiy" ("Dauntless"; Baltic fleet) haven't got the launching sets when commissioned - and haven't them till to present day.
But its other launchers, 6x1 funnels of ASW-system named "Vodopad" ("waterfall") probably could be used for the 3M10 missile (BGM-109 analogue; and even better ) launching

kinzhal> Will Russian build more Projetc.1154 ship?
kinzhal> It is a very nice warship. [»]

As I hope, no - there were only three ships laid down, but it was a mistake. The design was made in Zelenodolsck BuShip, and it is like on enlarged in three times 1124 project - actually, this frigate's design is the "great & big fast patrol craft". Main trouble - low and bad seaworthiness. Moreover, the inner design of superstructure is very inadequate from the damage control point of view. And its communication meanses capabilities are unsufficient. Together with noted missiles problems - no, it isn't nice warship. Generally, it would be better to have instead of 11540 ships something like fishering patrol frigates likewise Floreal or Tethis class, and leave all the modern battle jobs to the ships of DDG-class in the blue sea, and to the modern corvettes like a Visby in the littoral waters
