can design and build combatant ships and auxiliary vessels of all classes, as well as manufacture all kinds of naval weapons and equipment. Aircraft car- rier INS Vikramaditya, handed over to the Indian Navy in the fall of 2013, is a vivid example. Russian developers are traditionally


strong in the systematic approach to the design of naval equipment. With a high level of its science, design and shipbuilding technologies, strong pro- duction capabilities, highly skilled per- sonnel and vast experience of foreign trade activities, Russia holds a leading position in exports of naval equipment and weapons in the world. These qualities of the Russian de-

They can successfully conduct rescue operations, environmental monitor- ing, participate in disaster relief op- erations. Along with protection of the state border, the ships of this class are tasked to fight terrorism and maritime piracy, ensure the security of mile- stone social and political events held in the coastal area.

of surface ships, submarines and boats, Rosoboronexport implements an ac- tive marketing policy based on the analysis of the interests and needs of our potential partners. Moreover, in most cases we can speak not only on the supply of naval equipment, but also on its joint design and construc- tion both at customer’s and Russian shipyards. Of great importance is not only the after-sales service system, but also a trend towards supporting the whole life-cycle of military equip- ment built in the interests of foreign customers, which has been evident in recent years. This approach has helped Rosoboronexport significantly expand its sales geography. For Rosoboronex- port, there are no big or small contracts The Company treats each partner deli- The organizers, guests and spec-


shipbuilding CAD/CAM system has been actively used in developing the Rubin class ship. This provided a ra- tional and convenient layout of ma- chinery and systems inside the hull, high maintainability of the ship, and most importantly - the shortest possi- ble design time and high construction rates. Owing to the architecture incor- porating stealth technology, the patrol ship is virtually invisible to potential enemy radars. With its dimensions (length - 62.5


m, beam - 11 m, draft - 2.7 m) and German MTU diesel engines, the Rubin class ship is capable of moving at high speed: about 30 knots in calm water and 25 knots at Sea State 4 to 6 without losing maneuverability. Its cruising range is 3,500 miles, endur- ance exceeds 30 days.


tators of the 22nd Olympic Winter Games could enjoy not only the beau- tiful performances of their sports idols. A beautiful ship, which differed sharply from passenger vessels, pleasure boats and yachts in its strict graceful forms and deck superstructures, could also be seen in the roadstead of the port of Sochi from the coastal boulevards and embankment of the Olympic Park. This is a Project 22460 Rubin (Ruby) class border patrol ship, which success- fully ensured security of the Olympic Games in Sochi jointly with another ship of the same project operated by the RF Russian Border Guard Service. Today the naval forces play a lead-


ing role in the life of almost every coastal country and are one of the most combat-ready, universal and enduring services of the armed forces, capable


A high level of control automa-


tion is an important advantage of the Project 22460E ships. They are equipped with a modern integrated control system that complies with au- tomation Class A1. This requires a high degree of training from each crew- member and reduces the size of crew to 24 people. In particular, the bridge watch consisting of four crewmembers ensures full control of the ship systems and mechanisms. The ship is armed with one 30mm


six-barrel AK-306 CIWS and two 12.7mm Kord machine guns. Such ar- mament is sufficient to perform the tasks assigned to Rubin class ships. One of the Rubin’s main features


is a helipad located in the aft and in- tended for a Ka-226 light helicopter or a helicopter UAV. Here, there is also a multifunctional hangar/shelter to accommodate environment moni- toring and protection equipment or high-speed rigid inflatable boats designed, for example, for fast deliv- ery of a boarding team to an intrud- ing vessel. A search helicopter, UAV and fast boats significantly extend the functionality of these relatively small ships. It is noteworthy that the designers have been able to place the hangar and a 5-ton aviation fuel stor- age room on a ship with a displace- ment of less than 700 tons. Moreover, the Rubin class ship has a significant upgrade potential. In designing the ship, provision was


of handling a wide range of missions not only on high seas, but also in the coastal areas of the likely land theat- ers of operations. Their participation in providing reliable security at milestone social and political events, whether it’s Olympic Games, visits or meetings of the heads of state, is just one aspect of their activities. Maritime powers develop modern


made for its use in different regions of the world. Therefore, Rubin can navi- gate both in equatorial waters and in the continuous one-year ice up to 20 cm thick. The developers have paid great attention to maneuverability of the ship and its capability to perform tasks in skerry areas, reduced visibility conditions and shallow waters.

Some navies need air- craft carriers, large surface ships and large submarines, while others do with modern fast well-armed boats.
