Description
Hull and sonar
The hulls of Project 10750 are made of
To search for underwater contacts, a dome with a Kabarga-A1 sonar is built into the hull. On the aft of the ship there is a working platform on which a 5.3-tonne crane is mounted, with which the search robot and minesweeping gear can be brought in and out.[2]
Armament
The boats are armed with a 30 mm turret
Export
In addition to project 10750, the variant Project 10750E MCM was planned for export to Kazakhstan, of which at least one boat was built.[4] The boats are equipped with two 380 hp (280 kW) MAN D2866 diesels instead of the three engines on the Russian boats, have only two propellers, carry different sensors and communication equipment and are equipped with two 12.7 mm Kord machine guns armed.[3]
Whereabouts
Nine Project 10750 boats were completed for the Russian Navy by 1996; the construction of six boats is said to have started since then. Originally 26 ships were planned, but were never started due to financing problems.[2] Two boats were decommissioned until 2014.[3]
