The Project 22800 corvettes, codenamed Karakurt (Template:Lang-ru)[2][3] is a new missile corvette class under construction for the Russian Navy. The term каракурт, translit. karakurt literally means Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, the European black widow spider.[4]

The new class is intended to be a more seaworthy, blue water complement to the Buyan-M class corvettes, which had been designed for the littoral zone and are currently serving in Russia's Caspian Flotilla, Baltic Fleet and Black Sea Fleet.[5] The Karakurt-class corvettes are to be armed with the Kalibr-NK long range cruise missile and the P-800 Oniks medium-range anti-ship missile and have an endurance of 15 days.[6]

History

The first two ships were laid down on 24 December 2015, and as of July 2016, four are under construction. In August 2016, it was reported that a total of seven ships have been ordered from the Pella shipyard (at least one of which will be built at More in Crimea), and that five further ships of the class have been ordered from the Zelenodolsk shipyard.[7] The first ship was joined the navy in 2018.[8][9]

In July 2017 the Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuriy Borisov announced that 6 additional corvettes will be ordered for the Russian Pacific Fleet and that the corvettes should be built by the Amur Shipbuilding Plant.[10] In August 2017, during the International Military-Technical Forum ARMY 2017, a contract for several corvettes of the class was signed.[11] In August 2018, during the International Military-Technical Forum ARMY 2018, a contract for 4 corvettes of the class was signed.[12]

Design

Project 22800 was first publicly presented by Almaz in 2015.[13] Project 22800 derives from Project 12300 Skorpion, a proposed 1990s Almaz design for a 500-ton displacement missile boat,[14] and was also heavily influenced by Project 21631, the Buyan-M corvette.[13] The Karakurts have a stealth shaped superstructure with an integrated mast carrying four phased array radar panels.[13] The primary armament consists of Kalibr-NK cruise missiles or P-800 Oniks supersonic anti-ship missiles carried in eight UKSK vertical launching system cells in the rear part of the superstructure, behind the bridge.[13] The corvettes built for the Russian Navy will be equipped with a 76.2 mm AK-176MA automatic dual-purpose gun, a modernized version of the AK-176. However, at least on the first ship, the 100 mm A-190 was installed.[15] A proposed export version may carry the Italian OTO Melara 76 mm gun.[16] For anti-missile defense, the first two ships will only carry a pair of AK-630M gun-based CIWS. Starting from the third ship, the Karakurts will be equipped with Pantsir-M, a navalized version of the Pantsir surface-to-air missile system.[1] The Karakurts are not designed for anti-submarine warfare.
