It was about time for Russia to start modernizing fleet… Great costal defense ship, great armament (those corvettes are better armed then type 054 frigates), looks as smaller concurrent to USN LCS ships… If I am not mistaken they plan to build 20 of these beauties. They could also make lots of money selling those ships to smaller navies like Vietnam, Indonesia etc.

This ship lacks a bit for AAW other than its 2 CIWS (Unlike the Bora.)
But yes, this could be a good sellor to other countries. I am thinking Venezuela?
(Where does the Russian Navy even gets the funds to do this?)

Well since it uses KORTIK/KASHTAN CIWS whit SA-N-11 GRISON SAM I would say that for corvette it have pretty good air defenses… SA-N-11 has max range of 8 km and if they use newer versions of missiles range range could go up to 20 km…

A Russian Soldier on what also appears to be a BTR (Can't tell, to much crap on top) looks at suprisingly clean and well-noursihed Chechen civillians.

found it in a site what kind tanks it that ? is it a sam or anti tank
designated as bmp-t2 < not very sure :p

[adeptitus]

I don't think those are SAMs, if it's a self-propelled SAM unit, it should have a small radar dish. The unit also has what appears to be T-72 chasis.

I think those are prolly ATGMs.

[caksz]

did you see the twin small calibre cannon ? , the machine gun in both side of the tank is from bmp design , the tank is heavily protected with era and side armor . a hybrid from t-72 and bmp cassis maybe :p

I didn't see ERA bricks, but they did add armor plating. This is quite an interesting design, note the vehicle has crew of 5, instead of usual 3 for Russian MBTs? I wonder if it has room in the back for more infantry, or ATGM storage.

Vehicle-based ATGMs can be much larger and heavier than man-portable versions, and with longer range than tank rounds for long-distance kills. Having a MBT chasis would also make the vehicle more survivable against RPGs.

[sumdud]

The tank is based on I think old T-72 chassises. It is basically a smart tank, using ATGMs instead of a cannon to ensure longer and more accurate kills. I think those cannons are 30mm, same use and self of those found on BMPs. The tank is called the terminator and might have entered limited service. Can't figure why there is a crew of 5 though.
