Burevestnik manufactures two variants of 100-mm А190 Lightweight Multipurpose Naval gun: А190E and А190-01.
100-mm А190 Lightweight Multipurpose Naval Gun is a single-barrel turreted automatic gun that may be installed on ships with the displacement of 500 t and more. Upon the operator’s command the fire control module automatically turns the artillery system to standby or combat-ready position, ensures ammunition selection and feeding, gun laying and firing. As a result, the artillery system has minimum response time and high rate of fire.
Main technical data
| Rate of fire, rpm | up to 80 |
| Maximum firing range, km | over 20 |
| Elevation, degree | -15 to +85 |
| Training, degree | ±170 |
| Projectile weight, kg | 15,6 |
| Number of ready-to-fire rounds | 80 |
| Weight, t | 15 |
А190 Naval Gun can fire HE (impact fuze) and AA (time fuze) case ammunitions.
The main advantages of А190 system:
– automatic firing mode with main and back-up control means and the capability to operate in EW battlefield environment;
– minimal dead zones when engaging various target types;
– fast reaction (2…5 sec) to counter air threats. Quick shift of fire when engaging multiple targets.
The upgraded version designated as А190-01 provides significant increase in combat effectiveness. High survivability, reliability and combat effectiveness make it possible to operate the gun in various environments day and night all year around. Source burevestnik.com
2 x AK-306 30mm close-in weapon systems
Project 21630 Buyan Class corvette / topwar.ru
Design of the AK-630 (A-213) gun system started in 1963. The first prototype was made in 1964 and trials were conducted until 1966. The trials of the complete system with radar and controls went on until 1976 when the system was accepted for service. Production started in 1969 in Tula, with a modified AK-630M (A-213M) system accepted into service in 1979. These systems are the main close-in defense systems on modern Russian ships.
The gun itself is a 6 barrel Gatling gun designated as AO-18. The barrels are in a single block, having exhaust-driven joint automatics. They are belt fed with a flat magazine in the AK-630 and a drum magazine in the AK-630M. These weapons form a part of a complete self-defense system called A-213-Vympel-A, which includes gun, radar, optical and TV control systems. A single MP-123 Vympel system can control two 30 mm guns or one 30 mm and one 57 mm gun. This system can engage air targets at ranges up to 4,000 m (4,400 yards) and surface targets at ranges up to 5,000 m (5,500 yards). The TV control system can detect MTB sized ships at the distance of 75 km (40 nm) and the fighter-size air targets at 7,000 m (7,600 yards). This system is completely automatic and does not require human supervision although it can be directed from optical control posts in case of damage or for firing on shore targets. Source navweaps.com

vitalykuzmin.net
High-precision cruise missile 3M-14E is designed to engage in simple and complex meteorological conditions day and night stationary (sedentary) land and sea targets. Typical targets for the missile 3M-14E are ground control points, weapons and fuel depots, airfield and port facilities.
3M14E rockets in various configurations are included in the composition:
- Kalibr-PLE missile system for arming submarines (export designation “Club-S”),
- Kalibr-NKE rocket system for arming surface ships (export designation “Club-N”).
- The Kalibr-M mobile missile system (export designation “Club-M”);
- Aircraft-based missile weapon system “Calibre-A” (“Club-A”).
Integrated missile systems “Caliber” are designed to engage a wide range of land, sea surface and underwater targets in conditions of intensive fire and electronic counteraction of the enemy. All the complexes have a single combat vehicle:
- anti-ship missiles 3M-54E, 3M-54E1,
- high-precision cruise missiles to engage ground targets 3M-14E,
- Anti-submarine missiles 91RET2 (“Calibre NCE”) and 91RET1 (“Calibre-PLE”)
Availability of missiles for various purposes as part of Calibre systems, as well as a single universal control system (SU) of the missile system allows you to vary the set of missiles on carriers depending on the task in hand and the specific combat situation.
Cruise missile 3M-14E (see photo) complexes “Caliber-PLE”, “Caliber-NKE”, “Caliber-M” is equipped with a solid propellant launch engine in the tail part of which are located grating stabilizers. The TRDD-50B turbofan engine (“Product 37”, 37-01E) is a small-size two-circuit turbojet of disposable application, unified for all Kalibr missiles, developed by the Omsk Engine Building Design Bureau (see photo). It is produced by NPO Saturn.
The 3M-14E rocket is equipped with a combined guidance system. Control of the rocket in flight is fully autonomous. The onboard control system is based on the autonomous inertial navigation system AB-40E (developed by the State Research Institute of Instrument Engineering). The missile control system includes a radio altimeter of the RVE-B type (developed by UPKB Detail) and a receiver of satellite navigation system signals (GLONASS or GPS). The radio altimeter provides flight in the mode of terrain rounding due to precise keeping the flight altitude: over the sea – no more than 20 m, over land – from 50 to 150 m (when approaching the target – a decrease to 20 m).

Propulsion of the Russian Navy’s Buyan Class
Project 21631 (Buyan-M) corvette / Zelenyy Dol / Russian MoD picture
Buyan Class is powered by a twin screw combined diesel and diesel (CODAD) propulsion system. The propulsion system consists of two Zvezda M520 radial 56-cylinder diesel engines driving two pump-jet propulsions.
“The keel for the first corvette in class, Astrakhan, was laid down in February 2005 at Almaz Shipyard in St. Petersburg.”
The propulsions, with reduced noise and running vibration, provide high maneuverability. Each engine delivers a maximum power output of 3,970kW at 2,000rpm.
The engine is comprised of seven banks of eight cylinders. The usage of aluminum castings reduces the weight of the engine. A crankshaft driven supercharger provides boost pressure to the engine. The supercharger is equipped with water chilled inter-cooler.
