3. Small missile ship "Naro-Fominsk" pr.
Also today the fleet includes the third frigate of Project 22350 - "Admiral Golovko". It is intended for the Northern Fleet.
There should be a lot of frigates, but the pace of their construction is of course a snail’s pace, especially compared to the Chinese, who are churning out missile destroyers like hot cakes. We need to speed up.More from regnum.ru
Five frigates and eight corvettes are being built at Russian shipyards
Russian shipyards currently have five frigates, eight corvettes, 13 small missile ships and more than 50 other ships of various classes in various stages of readiness, President Vladimir Putin said on December 25 at a flag-raising ceremony at the Severnaya Verf shipyard.
At the flag-raising ceremony on the frigate Admiral Golovko, the small missile ship Naro-Fominsk and the minesweeper Lev Chernavin, which are entering service with the Navy, the president said that Russian shipbuilding has entered a new important stage - serial production of warships of various classes.
This indicates that the shipbuilding industry in the country is on the rise, the president noted, adding that Russia has taken the most important and fundamental step to revive and develop shipbuilding.
“Currently on the stocks, at the embankments of Russian shipyards there are five frigates, eight corvettes, thirteen small missile ships and more than 50 other ships of various classes in various stages of readiness - right now they are standing, and they are being worked on,” Putin said.
He emphasized that the systematic work of the shipbuilding industry will ensure the sustainable development of enterprises and their related companies. The economy will receive additional investments and advanced technologies, people will receive new jobs.
As Regnum reported , Putin arrived at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg on December 25, where he allowed the naval flag to be raised on the frigate Admiral Golovko.
In addition, the President gave permission via video conference call to raise the flag on the Naro-Fominsk (the ship was built for the Baltic Fleet at the Zelenodolsk plant named after A.M. Gorky in Tatarstan) and the minesweeper Lev Chernavin (Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard ).
The President said at the ceremony that the country will strengthen its naval power in all strategic directions and will implement all plans for the construction of ships.

The Russian Navy received the first full-time carrier of hypersonic "Zircons"
Vladimir Putin took part in the ceremony of raising military flags on the frigate Admiral Golovko, the small missile ship Naro-Fominsk and the sea trawler Lev Chernavin. The first piston will complement the Northern Fleet, the other two - the Baltic.
Commissioning of another project frigate 22350 - an event for the Navy is always iconic. With a total displacement of 5,400 tons, these ships are rightfully considered the most technologically advanced in the fleet. Together with Admiral Golovko, two other frigates of a similar project serve in the Northern Fleet. On the main ship - "Admiral Gorshkov" - almost all navy innovations were tested - from radioelectronic equipment to anti-aircraft missile complexes and artillery installations.
16 vertical launch installations provide the frigates' impact power. Admiral Golovko will become the first full-time carrier of hypersonic missiles of the Zircon family. The ships' air defense is represented by the Poliment-Redut anti-aircraft missile complexes, created especially for Russian "vampels" new projects, as well as two Palash RPGs used in close combat.
Universal 130mm A-192 cannons, which deliver 30 rounds per minute, can hit targets up to 23 kilometers. To fight submarines, there are four Paket-NK torpedo vehicles, which were equipped in 2008.
The 130mm cannon is a standard naval artillery gun for the Soviet navy.
All control systems are digital. In fact, these ships are floating computers, capable of multitasking virtually without human involvement. The new on-board information control system connects all equipment to the network with a single control, while the radioelectronic overwater and underwater lighting complex allows crews to detect their foes at a significant distance.
"One ping only, Vasiliy"
In terms of speed and navigation, frigates can reach 30 knots and stay in autonomous sailing for about a month. Currently, seven more ships of this type are being built on the staples in varying readiness. In addition, an upgraded project 22350M is under development. Total water displacement of the renewed frigates will increase to seven thousand tons. The Chief is planned to be handed over to the navy no earlier than 2030.
