Ak Bars: The Navy has set a task for missile ships to reach speeds of up to 35 knots
The command of the Russian Navy (Navy) has set the task that all small missile ships (RTOs) develop a speed of 30 to 35 knots. He spoke about the requirements of the fleet RIA News General Director of the Ak Bars Shipbuilding Corporation Renat Mistakhov.
“The Navy needs speed. In addition to the fact that the ship must be firing, having artillery, air defense, a missile system, it must also have speed. This is one of the main questions that the customer asks us: the speed should be from 30 to 35 knots,” he said.
The CEO of the corporation noted that this is a solvable task. Ak Bars specializes in the construction of multi-purpose RTOs of projects 22800 Karakurt and 21631 Buyan-M for the Navy.
