“Do Battleship Moscow has sunk, one of the three frigates of the project 11356 may become the new flagship of the Black Sea Fleet. In the end, the Admiral Makarov ship was chosen,” an unnamed source told TASS news agency early this morning (May 18).

The Admiral Makarov class destroyer of the Admiral Grigorvich class (Project 11356) was built by Russia and put into service with the Black Sea Fleet from 2018. The ship has a length of 124.8m; 15.2m horizontal ribs; draft 4.2m. The ship has a maximum tonnage of more than 4,000 tons, with a crew of up to 200 people.

Due to sea combat, the Admiral Makarov ship is equipped with a variety of long-range radars that can detect targets at sea, in the air or under the sea. For example, the Fregat M2M radar equipped on the ship can detect enemy anti-ship missiles or aircraft at a distance of 50 and 230 km, respectively.
