Buyan Missile Corvette - Tiny Russian Ship Packing A Big Punch

The Buyan class missile corvettes are heavily armed for a small coastal defence warship. International treaty prohibits long-range cruise missiles from operating on land, but there are no restrictions on operating them from ships. Therefore, the Buyan-M corvette can deploy long-range missiles from shallow waters, basically inland, without being subject to restrictions.

This is a re-upload of a video published on my other channel - I apologise for spamming your home page if you have already seen it before. I am consolidating the videos on my two channels onto this channel only, because as a part-time content creator I am unable to sustain video production for two channels. I also apologise if this decision comes as a disappointment to you, my viewer. I will space out the channels' consolidation over a long time, so you won't be regularly bombarded with thumbnails of videos you may have already seen.

Didn't know you had a second channel

It's alright I watched both and I did some looking and found the other channel

For the application intended, these are "Small yet Powerful", which seems to follow current Russian doctrine for smaller vessels, packing a comparable firepower to former, far larger vessels. The ten-day endurance might not be such a shortfall since this still allows support roles for Russia's larger vessels

[@johnbodman4504]

It would have to be very good value for the cost. Russia is doing the right thing by constantly improving their missiles, which leads to smaller ships being able to do the jobs of larger ones. This is a great channel for this type of information.

This thing is packed.

Russia can transfer this class’s design to NK to replace their old gunboats and corvettes. With some modifications, however.

[@lagrangewei]

Russia has trouble meeting their own naval need... especially after the black sea losses... hard to think export is on the agenda..

[@minhmeo9506]

@@lagrangewei they just transfer the blueprints and engineers as technical support. NK will build them indigenously.

[@mikecimerian6913]

This would be jumping over a few steps. Kim Jong Un received a warm reception recently and he was granted a tour of Russian industry and some bases as Russian were showcasing export potentials. This sort of trade and licensing initiative takes at least a couple of years before anything comes out of it.

@@minhmeo9506did you not recently see the corvette they came out with. North Korea is trying to modernize its appearance and capabilities but it’s going about as quickly as you would expect for a country of over 20 million people starving under a dynasty of tyrants since 1948

What is my favourite ships I like the relatively large gun on a relatively small vessel

[@EliteInsider]

Good video. Would be cool to see a video on the Russian helicopter carriers, but maybe their construction isn’t far along enough.

[@douginorlando6260]

If Russia learned anything it should be they need to protect their ships from drone swarms. Just like tanks in WW1, a few were used with some success. Then surprise! An overwhelming number of tanks were used to break through. So far a few drones have been used but not drone swarms. Imagine what happens when 100 DJI sized drones attack simultaneously. Drones that recognize and damage key weak points such as radar, anti air weapons, optical sensors, communication, control. then another swarm comes timed with a few big keel busting drones. And intelligent swarms only expend what is required with extras returning or reallocating.

[@tigersilberhannes9153]

Since all their ships have at least one 30mm gun i think they are working on this software wise. You need a very fine radar and a damn good aim to hit such small drones quickly.

[@hughmungus2760]

I wonder how much one of these cost, compared to the Type056a, its way more heavily armed, but lacks any ASW capabilities.

[@mikecimerian6913]

There is very little probability that a submarine could enter its area of operation. The Caspian Sea is very shallow, this is why the ship uses pump jet propulsion. Any hostile submarine would have to go through the Dardanelles and Turkey controls the passage. The Montreux Convention provides Turkey with the right to allow or interdict passage of warships into the Black Sea and when it is allowed it is under stringent regulations like turning off all radars and weapons directors and using only navigational radar during transit.

[@remliqa]

How well does these thing fare at stopping mass air and boat drone attacks? It seem that is what Russia needs right now considering how bad Ukraine is hammering them with those.

[@billwhoever2830]

The 100mm gun, the 30mm ciws and the igla launchers can most likely all strike drones of multiple sizes. The drones will also have to first detect and get in range with the ship, the ship is constantly moving and can do surprise hit and run attacks on stationary land targets, a big drone attack will take time to prepare on a specific area before the ship arrives. The Kalibr missiles have a range of 1600miles, can easily be fired from a completely safe range away from hostile coasts.

[@remliqa]
