About Project 23550
The "Nikolai Zubov" combat icebreaker was laid down in the fall of 2019. Project 23550 was developed by specialists from the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau (part of USC). Ships of this project have no analogues in terms of a number of technical characteristics.
Their purpose is escorting, towing, and protecting ships. The combat icebreakers will be armed with MANPADS and an artillery installation, and will also be equipped with radar. The developers have provided for the placement of a helicopter on the ship's deck.
