New Russian DDG?

[Ainen]

Existence of theme "leader" (ie design of future DMZ, of "remote sea zone" combatant) is known for some time, but looks like it is first photo of something that it may look like.

Saw the Type 45 and got mast envy, eh?


Seriously, though, that is a pretty strange looking mast/deckhouse.

Project 2145 cruiser?

Judging the shape of the bridge and funnels and the general appearance, I think,
that Triton is right. Maybe knowledge of the source of this photo (and perhaps
translation of a native Russian speaker ?) would help.

"Regarding the Project 2145 cruiser, via the Russian Photos thread over at MilitaryPhotos.net:"

Over on that thread, as I recall, that was said to be nothing but a manufacturer's concept. Not an actual program.

It almost makes more sense if you flip the photo upside down.

The Paralay boards don't seem to know what it is either.

It came from 2:48 in this video, with Russian Defence Minister General Sergei Shoigu viewing it after announcing exercises.
I don't speak Russian, so I can't vouch for anything in the video.

New screenshots (sorry for replay)

You could call that a cruiser and I'd believe you. Impressive snd imposing. Most sure if I like it though. Their answer to Zumwalt?

 

[donnage99]

I don't think so, seems more of an evolution of the Kirovs class, big and heavily armed enough to be a blue water fleet's flagship.

Are the previous model photos of a new model for the Project 2145 cruiser?
