Admiral Gorshkov
Russia's most modern surface combatant — a multirole frigate built around long-range precision strike with Kalibr and Zircon hypersonic missiles, and the anchor of its future surface fleet.
Russia's most modern multirole frigate — a compact, ocean-going warship designed for long-range precision strike with Kalibr and Zircon hypersonic missiles, and the centerpiece of the Russian Navy's bid to recapitalize its surface fleet after decades of Soviet-era reliance.
Overview
The Admiral Gorshkov-class (Project 22350) is a multirole guided-missile frigate designed and built by Severnaya Verf for the Russian Navy. It is Russia's first post-Soviet surface combatant to carry a multi-function phased-array radar and a vertical launch system for long-range land-attack and anti-ship missiles, marking a generational leap from the legacy Soviet destroyer and cruiser fleet. The class is intended to replace the aging Udaloy and Sovremenny destroyers and form the core of Russia's future ocean-going surface fleet.
