Military Watch: российский «Супер-Горшков» станет самым опасным фрегатом в мире | Новости:

The development of the Russian Navy does not go unnoticed by foreign experts. The American edition of Military Watch recognized the superiority in the firepower of Russian frigates of the 22350M project over cruisers and heavy destroyers of the US Navy. The translation of the published material is exclusively provided by PolitRussia.
It is reported that in total it is planned to build 15 ships of project 22350M with a displacement of 7,000 tons. American journalists also drew attention to the fact that a heavy class frigate project could still be implemented. Project 22350M frigates are an improved version of project 22350 frigates, which include Admiral Gorshkov. In the media, the frigate of the new project has already been nicknamed "Super-Pots."
The upgraded version of the frigate is characterized by increased firepower. At Admiral Gorshkov 72 vertical launchers are installed, and ships of the new project can receive up to 120 launchers. This determines the advantage of the 22350M project over American ships of the Arleigh Burke class, which have from 90 to 96 launch cells.
Military Watch: Russian Super-Gorshkov will become the most dangerous frigate in the world
The frigates of the new project will become the most heavily armed surface ships in the world, with the exception of the American Ticonderoga heavy cruisers, which host 122 launch cells. This means that an American ship of much larger displacement has the same number of missiles. The project 22350M frigates will also accommodate two Ka-27 helicopters.
As for the weapons that they plan to use on this ship, it will be represented by Caliber cruise missiles, as well as hypersonic Zircon. This missile is capable of hitting targets at a distance of more than 1000 km, while it is extremely maneuverable and has a speed of about 9 Machs.
It is hypersonic weapons that will become a key factor in the ability of Russian frigates to project power at sea and challenge much larger ships. At the same time, the range of the Russian anti-ship weapon exceeds the American counterparts by three times, and the speed of new missiles is ten times.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at the end of last year , said that the number of ships as part of the Navy of Russia, who will be on board the hypersonic missile "Zircon", will be increased. He also noted that the number of ships in the far-field zone should be increased.
