Admiral Kasatonov in Severomorsk to Prepare for More Trials – SeaWaves – the BEST naval news since 1995
February 11, 2020 (Google Translation) – The first production frigate of Project 22350 Admiral of the Kasatonov Fleet, undergoing state sea trials in the Northern Fleet, arrived in Severomorsk after a series of tests. Earlier in the Barents Sea, the crew of the ship worked out the formulation of passive interference and false targets by electronic warfare systems.
In Severomorsk, sailors will replenish supplies and prepare for the next stage of testing in marine ranges. The main emphasis in the tests will be placed on shipboard air defense systems. A week ago, the frigate successfully tested the Poliment-Redut anti-aircraft missile system, as well as radio engineering systems. Flight of the frigate was performed by the crews of the Su-24 and An-26 aircraft of the Air Force and Air Defense Association of the Northern Fleet at various altitudes and distances.
Tests of the frigate “Admiral of the Casaton Fleet” in the Northern Fleet began on November 20 in the White Sea. They pass in several stages. The frigate’s missile armament was tested with Caliber and Onyx cruise missile fire at coastal and sea targets.
At the beginning of December last year, the frigate’s crew completed an interbase transition from Severodvinsk to Severomorsk and conducted a series of tests in the Barents Sea. In particular, the sailors worked out interaction with aviation and submarines, tested radio-technical weapons and sonar systems.
After the completion of the entire complex of state sea trials and the signing of the acceptance certificate, the ship will be accepted into the Russian Navy. It is expected that the frigate will be enlisted in one of the formations of surface ships of the Northern Fleet.
The frigate Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov was designed by the Northern Design Bureau and built at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in St. Petersburg.
The frigates of the first rank of project 22350 are multifunctional warships that can effectively deal with surface, air and underwater enemies, as well as strike at ground and coastal targets over a distance of over 1,500 kilometers.
