A new class of destroyer for the Russian Navy is currently under development by the Krylov State Research Center (KSRC), IHS Jane's was told during a visit to the company.

The new design is called Project 23560E or Shkval (Squall), KSRC's deputy director, Valery Polyakov, who added that a scale model of the design is going to be exhibited for the first time during the International Maritime Defence Show 2015 in St Petersburg from 1-5 July.

"The Project 23560E destroyer is intended to conduct operations in off-shore maritime and oceanic zones, to destroy land and naval targets, to provide combat stability to naval forces, to maintain area anti-air and anti-missile defence, and to complete peacetime tasks in all zones of the world's oceans," said Polyakov.

The Project 23560E destroyer has full-load displacement of 15,000-18,000 tons, a length of 200 m, beam of 23 m, draft of 6.6 m, high speed of 32 kt, cruise speed of 20 kt, endurance of 90 days, and a crew of 250-300.

The destroyer is intended to be powered by a gas turbine engine (although Russia currently lacks any adequate sources for naval gas turbines). It is proposed to be fitted with a battle management system integrated with tactical and operational-tactical ACSs.

The destroyer's armament comprises 60-70 anti-ship or anti-land cruise missiles, 128 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and 16-24 anti-submarine missiles. The ship is also equipped with a 130 mm multipurpose naval gun.

The destroyer's integrated electronic package includes a multi-functional phased array radar, electronic warfare subsystem, communications suite, underwater reconnaissance system. The aviation wing consists of two utility helicopters. These specifications could all be changed to suit customer requirements however, Polyakov stated.

O único porta-aviões da Rússia, Admiral Kuznetsov, entrou na doca do estaleiro de Roslyakovo, na região de Murmansk,  para reparos, informou a assessoria de imprensa da Frota de Norte, na quinta-feira, sem dar prazo para os reparos. "Os trabalhadores vão primeiro fazer a inspeÇão do navio na doca e depois uma decisão será tomada no ámbito dos reparos", disse o escritório de imprensa da Frota.

O porta-aviões realizou sua última comissão de longa distância em maio 2014, na maior parte navegando no Mar Mediterrâneo.

Russia's Krylovsky State Research Center (KRSC) has developed a new multipurpose heavy aircraft carrier design called Project 23000E or Shtorm (Storm).
A scale model of the ship is going to be demonstrated for the first time at the International Maritime Defence Show 2015 in St Petersburg from 1-5 July, Valery Polyakov, the deputy director of KSC, told IHS Jane's .
"The Project 23000E multipurpose aircraft carrier is designed to conduct operations in remote and oceanic areas, engage land-based and sea-borne enemy targets, ensure the operational stability of naval forces, protect landing troops, and provide the anti-aircraft defence," Polyakov said.
The design has a displacement of 90-100,000 tons, is 330 m in length, 40 m wide, and has a draft of 11 m. It has a top speed of 30 kt, cruising speed of 20 kt, a 120-day endurance, a crew of 4-5,000, and designed to withstand sea state 6-7. Currently it has been designed with a conventional power plant, although this could be replaced by a nuclear one, according to potential customers' requirements.
The ship carries a powerful air group of 80-90 deck-based aircraft for various combat missions. The model features a split air wing comprising navalised T-50 PAKFAs and MiG-29Ks, as well as jet-powered naval early warning aircraft, and Ka-27 naval helicopters.
The carrier's flight deck is of a dual design, features an angled flight deck, and four launching positions: two via ski-jump ramps and two via electromagnetic catapults. One set of arrestor gear is included in the design. The design also features two islands; a feature only previously seen on the latest UK design.
Protection against air threats will be provided by four anti-aircraft missile system combat modules. An anti-torpedo armament suite is available.
The electronic support complex includes integrated sensors, including a multifunction phased array radar, electronic warfare system, and communications suite.
Polyakov pointed out that these specifications are subject to change, correction, and modification during the ship's design and development at every stage of work, once potential customers come up with a demand to change the weapons package and equipment.

Russia Terminates Mistral Warship Contract, Opts for Refund

Russia is no longer negotiating for the delivery of two French-built Mistral-class warships, and is only interested in receiving compensation for the violated 1.2 billion euro ($1.3 billion) contract for the ships, news agency RBC quoted a top Russian official as saying Tuesday.

"It's now a matter of fact that Russia is not taking them [the Mistral ships], and now there is only one discussion — the amount of money which should be returned to Russia," the deputy chairman of Russia's Military-Industrial Commission, Oleg Bochkarev told RBC.

Russia ordered the ships from France in 2011, but Paris suspended the delivery of the helicopter-carrying assault ships in response to Moscow's role in the Ukraine crisis. Moscow had previously said it must either receive the ships, or compensation.

Citing inside sources, newspaper Kommersant reported two weeks ago that Russia has demanded 1.16 billion euros ($1.2 billion) to cover not only its 893 million euro ($973 million) advance, but additional costs incurred to prepare bases, sailors and helicopters for the ships. France has made a counter-offer of just 785 million euros ($855.5 million), Kommersant reported.

Bochkarev said Russia would construct its own class of amphibious assault ships, but that they would not be copies of the French Mistral class, since Russian naval doctrine takes a different approach to landing troops on foreign beaches. He did not specify how Russian naval tactics differ.

The Il-38N upgrade process includes new avionics for the aircraft and the replacement of the legacy search and targeting suite with the new Novella system. This system, stated to offer a major expansion in the aircraft's capabilities and greatly increased search efficiency, includes a new radar, imaging systems, magnetometer, electronics intelligence package, and a radio-acoustic system.
