  • Admiral Gorshkov Frigate Reveals Serious Shortcomings in Russia’S Naval Modernization Program
    March 2016 Admiral Gorshkov Frigate Reveals Serious Shortcomings in Russia’s Naval Modernization Program Paul Schwartz Since 2008, as part of its ongoing military reform, Moscow has embarked on a large-scale program of naval expansion intended to recapitalize its ailing shipbuilding industry and rebuild and modernize its fleet. Rebuilding the fleet has received especially high priority in Russia’s 2011–2020 State-Armament Program, with the navy set to receive nearly 5 trillion rubles (about US$70 billion), or fully one-quarter of the total amount to be spent on military modernization of Russia’s entire armed forces through 2020.1 Russia’s fleet development plans were further elaborated in its “Action Plan 2013–2020,” an overall modernization road map released by the Ministry of Defense in 2013. According to this plan, the percentage of modern equipment in Russia’s navy was set to increase from a level of approximately 40 percent in 2013 to over 70 percent by 2020.2 Despite substantial efforts to make good on its naval modernization plans, including significant state spending, what has been delivered thus far to the Russian Navy has fallen well short of expectations. While official Russian rhetoric routinely proclaims that the fleet is undergoing a major renaissance, in reality Russia’s shipbuilding programs have been severely hampered by enduring problems, including budget shortfalls, underinvestment in naval R&D, poor design, obsolescence in its shipbuilding industry, system- integration challenges, reduced access to foreign technology, and widespread corruption, among other problems, all of which have led to long-standing delays in several naval programs and outright cancellation of others.3 The Admiral Gorshkov–Class Frigate A particularly important case in point is the seemingly endless project to build a new blue-water frigate.

Surface Ships 3. Naval Aviation Ⅳ. Activities Ⅴ. Storm Seas Ahead * Director & Senior Fellow, Center for Political-Military Analysis, Hudson Institute 242 STRATEGY 21, 통권36호 (Spring 2015년 Vol. 18, No. 1) Ⅰ. Introduction The resurgence of the Russian Navy in recent years is one of the clearest manifestations of Moscow’s military revival. Sea power is critical for realizing Russia’s economic and security goals. The Russian Navy’s main missions include strategic deterrence, coastal defense, protection of sea lanes and maritime commerce, and foreign presence and power projection. Following the near collapse of its Navy in the 1990s, the Russian government has recently made progress in stabilizing fleet numbers and raising its foreign presence. Until a few years ago, Russian warships rarely ventured from home, and they suffered from severe maintenance and other problems. Now Russia has cast its eyes back across the deep blue water and Russian warships can be seen throughout the world (if not yet very often). Current government efforts aim to expand Russia’s sea power by increasing the quantity and quality of Russia’s naval ships and gradually expanding the fleet’s international activities, sometimes in partnership with foreign countries. Essentially, Russia’s short-term goal is to defend critical assets close to home, while the long-term objective, or at least aspiration, is to reclaim Russia’s status as a global power with a far-reaching maritime presence.

  • Russia's Black Sea Fleet
    June 2019 Russia’s Black Sea Fleet: Toward a Multiregional Force Igor Delanoe Deputy-Head, French-Russian Analytical Center Observo (Moscow) DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release: distribution unlimited. Cleared for public release IOP-2019-U-020190-Final Abstract In this CNA Occasional Paper, Dr. Igor Delanoe, Deputy-Head, French-Russian Analytical Center Observo (Moscow), examines the development of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet since the 2000s. Dr. Delanoe traces the origins of structural changes that affected the fleet through the State Armaments Program beginning in 2011, the Ukrainian crisis and Moscow’s renewed emphasis on Black Sea defense. He examines the Fleet in the context of Russia’s renewed presence in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, and discusses new concepts and technologies of growing importance to Russia’s forward operating naval squadrons. Today, the Black Sea Fleet appears to be a more flexible and multipurpose naval formation. Its area of responsibility has evolved and is focused on the greater Mediterranean region, tasked with the protection of Russia’s southern flank, from the Caspian region to the Levant. Dr. Delanoe also discusses transition from the quality naval procurement of the 2011-2020 plan to mass production in a context of financial pressure and sanctions, arguing that the modernization plan of the Black Sea Fleet has proved more resilient in the face of these challenges. This report is part of a series generously funded by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. CNA’s Occasional Paper series is published by CNA, but the opinions expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of CNA or the Department of the Navy.
