The Neustrashimy is a Russian Neustrashimy class frigate commissioned in 1993 to combat submarines and surface ships and provide defence to task forces and convoys. The ship is equipped with a missile and torpedo launch system capable of launching six Vodopad-NK (SS-N-16) antisubmarine missiles or torpedoes; an Uran anti-ship missile system with two 8 missile launchers (16 anti-ship missiles). The Uran system launches the Kh-35 anti-ship cruise missile which is known by the NATO designation AS-20; A Klinok air defence missile system comprising four vertical launch modules mounted just behind the ship's 100 mm gun. The Klinok missile carries the NATO designation SA-N-9; a Kashtan air defence gun-missile system comprising one command system with two combat modules (64 missiles and 600 rounds) mounted either side of the satellite communications dome. Each system is equipped with a 30 mm calibre twin Gatling gun, the Kashtan missile system, and a fire control radar and optronic director. The Kashtan missile is the export name for the 9M311 missile otherwise known as the Grison or the Kortik, and which carries the NATO designation SA-N-11. The missiles incorporate a laser beam guidance system. Anti-submarine defence is provided by a RBU-6000 rocket launcher installed on the raised deck immediately behind the four Klinok missile launchers. The launcher is fitted with twelve radially arranged tubes. The RGB-60 rockets are fed from the magazine via an elevator. A 100mm AK-100 gun is also carried. The ship has a helicopter landing deck which occupies the full width of the deck at the stern, and a hangar which accommodates a single Ka-27helicopter. Research Neustrashimy
