At the Yantar shipyard in the Kaliningrad region, on May 30, the first of two large landing ships (BDK) of the modernized Project 11711 was launched. Its difference from the two previously built large landing ships Ivan Gren and Petr Morgunov became known.
The onboard armament of the large landing ships of the modernized Project 11711 has been reinforced with a universal 76-mm AK-176MA artillery mount; previously, only small-caliber systems were used: two 2 × 6 — 30-mm AK-630M, one 2 × 6 x 30-mm AK-630M-2 "Duet" and two 14.5 mm MTPU "Zhalo" installations.
Probably, taking into account the growing demand for anti-drone systems, other weapons have also appeared, but this has not yet been reported.
The length of the large landing ship increased from 135 to 150 meters, the height of the side — up to 11.8 meters, the width — from 16.5 to 19.5 meters. The total displacement also increased — from 6,600 to 8,000 tons.
The main running characteristics remained the same: full speed 18 knots — 33 km/h), and the range increased from 4,000 to 5,000 nautical miles — from 7,400 to 9,200 km. In addition, the increase in size made it possible to increase the number of transported equipment and landing force — from 300 to 400 paratroopers, from 36 to 40 units of armored vehicles.
