The Nevskoye Design Bureau (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) unveiled a scale model of a cutting-edge multi-purpose amphibious assault ship at the Army 2022 international military-technical forum, a TASS correspondent reported from the scene on Wednesday.

The ship’s mock-up is on display in the United Shipbuilding Corporation’s demonstration pavilion in the Patriot Congress and Exhibition Center near Moscow. The mock-up suggests that the combat ship has a two-tier hangar for accommodating helicopters and armored personnel carriers, as well as a flooded dock for transporting and putting afloat up to three Zubr-class amphibious assault hovercraft.

As the scale model suggests, helicopters take off from the warship’s upper deck that accommodates a helipad for as many as 15 gunships.
