Missile defense ship Project 22356 is the commercial version of Admiral Gorshokov - Project 22350, Russia was officially launched at IDMS 2019.

Currently, Vietnam is actively looking for a new class of battleships with higher combat capability than the first 4 3.9 Gepard missile defense ships that have entered service.

There has been an assumption that we will order 2 more Gepard 3.9 with a more powerful weapon configuration but unfortunately, the upgraded version design has not yet been completed by Russia but only in the form of a demonstration model.

Before this situation, at the two international military exhibitions, Army 2019 and especially IDMS 2019, noted the move of the Vietnamese military delegation.

Russian media recently posted a meeting of Vietnam's high-level military delegation to attend IDMS 2019 Exhibition with the Russian state-owned Rosoboronexport State Import-Export Corporation. During the meeting, the image of the missile defense ship Project 11356 appeared, showing our interest.

But the Vietnamese delegation not only paid attention to the frigate Project 11356 but also directly visited and evaluated missile defense ship Admiral Kasatonov - Project 22350, second Admiral Admiral Gorshkov class. This vessel is rated as a more advanced design when placed next to Project 11356.

Project 22356 frigate is designed to destroy all targets of air, on and in the sea surface of the enemy, with the ability to attack the ground very strong through a powerful missile array.

The ship is 135 meters long; width 16.4 m; water draft 4.53 m; load of full load of 4,550 tons; maximum speed of 29.5 knots / h; range of 4,500 nautical miles; The time for continuous sea fishing is 30 days.

Russia has pre-engineered a number of basic configurations for customers to choose from, when the electronic system can include Fregat-M2EM or Fregat-MAE-3 air reconnaissance radar, fire control radar is Mineral-ME, Sigma-E22356 or Trebovanie-M combat management system, with electronic countermeasures TK-25E or KT-308-05.

The ship's armament is notable, customers can choose to configure 16 Yakhont supersonic anti-ship missiles or 16 Kalibr-NKE missiles, but the second option is superior to the Kalibr-combination. NKE deployed both anti-submarine missiles and ground-based cruise missiles via UKSK multi-purpose launchers.

Air defenses are also available in two options: carrying Shtil-1 medium-range missile combos with 36 9M317ME interceptors 50 km long, or Rif-M system (naval version of S-300F lift level) with 32 long range 48N6E2 missiles of 195 km, creating a room that is not extremely reliable.

In addition, there was a single 130 mm gunboat and 2 30 mm rapid-firing guns, flight deck and stern carrier that allowed carrying a Ka-28 underground helicopter or warning helicopter. early air Ka-31.

Both 22356 and 11356 Project frigates are extremely powerful ships, if Vietnam chooses any class of ships, it will take naval forces to a new level.
