Russian Navy’s Burya ship ready for float out
The St Petersburg’s Pella Shipyard will float out the Russian Navy‘s third new generation small missile ship, Burya, on 23 October, the Russian Ministry of Defence announced on 15 October.
The vessel has been constructed as part of Project 22800, which is being carried out to update the navy’s surface combat capabilities with high-precision weapons carriers.
The small missile ships, designed by the Central Marine Design Bureau Almaz, have a displacement of around 800t and a speed of over 30kt. The vessels will be armed with high-precision missiles and modern artillery systems. They will be highly manoeuvrable with increased seaworthiness and stealth characteristics.
These ships can perform tasks in the offshore zone at ranges of around 3,000 miles from station sites.
