The patrol ship of project 22160 "Vasily Bykov" went out for state tests


The patrol ship of project 22160 "Vasily Bykov" went out on state trials, reports RIA Novosti with reference to Alexei Rulev, the head of the Black Sea Fleet information support department.

According to the information department, state tests of the newest patrol ship are held at the Black Sea Fleet test sites. The ship was completed at the Zaliv Shipbuilding Plant LLC in Kerch, after which at the end of March of this year he made the transition to Novorossiysk, where he underwent factory and mooring tests with the participation of the crew and a factory crew. 

At this stage, State tests verify the work of the main power plant of the ship in various modes, the ship’s weapons control systems, as well as the operation of the in-ship radio communication.

The lead patrol ship of Project 22160 "Vasily Bykov" was built at the AO "Zelenodolsk Plant named after AM Gorky" and launched on August 28, 2017. In November of the same year, he was towed to Kerch (Zaliv Shipyard since the end of 2014 is under the management of the Zelenodolsk plant) for completion. 

The Russian Ministry of Defense ordered the construction of five serial patrol ships of Project 22160, but their construction was delayed due to the import substitution of the power plant. All ships of the series, except for the head "Vasily Bykov", on which the German diesel-gear units MAN are installed, will receive diesel-gear units produced by the Kolomna plant.
