Mytishchi, clasa Karakurt – Sursa: navaltoday.com

Prima ar fi ca rusii au introdus in serviciu prima nava din clasa Karakurt (Proiect 22800), Mytishchi. Karakurt este o corveta construita in jurul aceluiasi pachet ofensiv (8 tuburi UKSK lansatoare de rachete Kalibr sau Oniks) care se gaseste si pe Buyan-M si care a fost testat cu succes in bombardarea Siriei.
Rusii au invatat insa si din problemele identificate in timpul voiajului din Mediterana al corvetelor Buyan-M, mai exact autonomia redusa si comportamentul mai slab pe mare montata.

Desi Karakurt, la cele 800 de tone ale sale, este mai mica decat Buyan-M (950 de tone), are totusi un pescaj mai mare (4 m vs 2,5 m) ceea ce teoretic i-ar asigura un comportament mai bun. Karakurt are de asemenea o autonomie marita la 15 zile, fata de 10 la Buyan-M, obtinuta probabil si prin reducerea echipajului de la 52 la 39 de marinari.

In afara de cele 8 lansatoare UKSK, corvetele mai sint dotate cu cate un tun de 76mm si cate doua sisteme CIWS AK-630M care vor fi inlocuite incepand cu cea de-a treia unitate cu un complex Pantsir-M.

Desi este denumita “corveta”, Karakurt este mai degraba o nava purtatoare de rachete in intelesul clasic, nu va dispune de armament antisubmarin si va opera un UAV (Orlan-10) in locul unui elicopter. Mytishchi este destinata Flotei Marii Baltice, ca si urmatoarea nava a clasei Karakurt, insa cea de-a treia, planificata sa intre in dotare anul viitor, va fi destinata Flotei Marii Negre.

Care Flota a Marii Negre a primit pe 10 Decembrie o noua corveta Buyan-M (Proiect 21631), Orekhovo-Zuyevo. E cea de-a doua Buyan-M care isi are domiciliul in Marea Neagra.

Iar pe 20 Decembrie, aceeasi Flota a Marii Negre a primit in dotare si OPV-ul Vasily Bykov (Proiect 22160). Toate cele 6 nave ale clasei sint de altfel destinate Marii Negre.

OPV-urile ar urma sa indeplineasca roluri “civilizate”, cum ar fi patrularea EEZ, operatiuni antipiraterie, SAR, etc.. si in consecinta va dispune de armament “usor”: un tun de 57mm si lansatoare de rachete Igla.

Dar:

This is the first Russian ship designed with the use of a modular weapon concept. A part of weapons on ship are mounted at the stage of construction and do not change within the whole service life. Areas and space volumes which can be used for additional weapon arrangement during repair or upgrading are reserved.

Besides, there are special places for removed modules of various purposes, which can be replaced during operation depending on the tasks to be solved. Dimensions of modules are specially selected for dimensions of standard marine containers. The most varied equipment and weapons can be installed in them, including strike missiles, medical modules, anti-mine systems, diving systems and other.

In traducere: OPV-urile vor putea fi dotate cu sisteme anti-aeriene Shtil-1 si lansatoare pentru omni-prezentele Kalibr.

Adica un fel de MAI 1105 Stefan cel Mare usor de transformat in corveta.

Rusii sint deci in grafic pentru ca in urmatorii trei-patru ani sa umple Marea Neagra cu nave lansatoare de rachete de dimensiuni relativ reduse (pe langa cele 6 noi submarine Kilo imbunatatite), o strategie clara anti-acces.

Cu cuvintele lor:

The combat tactics of the Karakurts are determined by the ships’ technical specifications and design features. They are small, powerful and stealthy and can form a small fleet that would be able to come close to an enemy, deliver a missile strike and immediately leave the area, which is called the “hit and run” tactic.

In terms of striking power, the new missile corvettes can hold a candle to a larger ship of a potential enemy. For example, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser of the US Navy has a displacement of 9,800 tons and carries 26 Tomahawk cruise missiles with an operational range of up to 2,500 kilometers.

At the same time, a group of three Karakurt corvettes can deliver a strike with a total of 24 Kalibr missiles at the same distance. What is noteworthy is that the cost of a Ticonderoga-class cruiser is nearly $1 billion, which would be enough to build some 30 ships from project 22800.

E nevoie de idei noi si o strategie adevarata, care sa tina seama si de mutarile adversarului.
