The Defense Ministry has approved a sketch of the prospective destroyer of Project 23560 "Leader", said Igor Ponomarev, Vice President of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC).

"His design continues. Draft project (one of the stages of the design) was recently approved by the customer, "- the words Ponomarev  RIA" Novosti " .

He added that USC shipyards are equipped with technologies and have the necessary experience to create such a ship.

The project of the destroyer "Leader" was developed by the Northern design bureau under the number 23560. The destroyer can develop the speed up to 30 knots, autonomous to work for 90 days. Displacement is 17,5 thousand tons, length is 200 meters and width is 20 meters.

In service - 60 anti-ship cruise missiles, 128 anti-aircraft guided missiles and 16 anti-submarine guided missiles.

The draft design of the destroyer was in the Ministry of Defense from the spring of last year.

Also Ponomarev said that

At the construction of the fifth generation nuclear submarine "Husky" will be implemented fundamentally new technical solutions.

"Now, taking into account their features, the appearance of the ship is determined," Tass said .

He added that USC enterprises began modernizing production facilities for the construction of similar nuclear submarines.

The project of a non-nuclear submarine of the fifth generation of the Kalina project in Russia has already been created, Ponomarev recalled.

"The development of the technical project of the submarine is under way. Now the coordination of the task for the development of the technical project of the non-nuclear submarine continues, "Ponomarev said.

He also said that tests of anaerobic (air-independent) installation for non-nuclear submarines of the fifth generation should be completed before the end of 2021. This will increase the subtlety of the submarine. Ponomarev noted that the ship's model of the installation with a marine stand, which is necessary for its development in real conditions, will be created by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia.

In addition, according to Ponomarev, USC is going to build two more frigates for Project 11356 for the Navy.

Previously, three frigates of this series were built: Admiral Grigorovich, Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov .
