Rubin-class patrol boat explained

The Rubin class, Russian designation Project 22460 Okhotnik (Russian: Охотник||Hunter), is a class of Russian border patrol vessels being constructed for the Russian Coast Guard.[1] It is designed to combat surface and airborne targets and threats.[2] It can also conduct patrol and convoy escort duties. It is equipped with a Horizon Air S-100, a license-built version of the Austrian Camcopter S-100 helicopter unmanned aerial vehicle, which is intended for search, detection and identification of small high-speed sea targets at a distance of 150km (90miles) from the carrier vessel.

Design

The patrol craft have been designed with a higher degree of stealth than past Coast Guard ships. The patrol craft have a steel hull, with a double bottom and double sides to increase survivability.[3] The patrol craft are equipped with comfortable berthing for the crew, modern architecture and other comforts like a swimming pool. The patrol craft is equipped with the Opto electronic control system SP-520M, which functions as a fire control system for the main gun and can search and track targets during the day or at night and is equipped with a laser rangefinder, the patrol craft is also equipped with the navigational and tactical complex "TRIMS-22460".[4] The patrol crafts armament gives them anti-surface and air defense capability, in the event of wartime mobilization the craft can be up-armed with anti-ship missiles. The ships are degaussed.[5] The ships have a flight deck and hangar for a helicopter or UAV, there is also a stern launching ramp for a small boat.[6] The patrol craft can also carry a 57mm A-220M gun mount instead of AK-630 on the bow.
