Project 20382 Tiger Corvette

Project-20382 Tiger corvette is a ship for acting in the near sea zone against ships and submarines, forsupporting landing troops, and against air targets. The corvette is equipped with Uran anti-ship missiles. Kashtanantiaircraft missile system, and Ka-27 helicopter. The Tiger corvettes baseline is project-20380 Steregushchy[Guarding] corvette, which is now undergoing factory and state tests, and which is to enter Russian naval forcescombat strength in late 2007. Experts estimate one export Tiger corvette at about $120-150 million. Primarily

South-East Asian countries, as well as Venezuela and Qatar are interested in the corvette.

A wide range of products of the Russian defence industrial complex is represented at the international exhibitionof naval machinery and weapons Euronaval'2004, which opened at Le Bourget near Paris on 24 October 2005.The Russian chief delegate made special note of the latest Project 20382 Tigr corvette, featuring Stealthtechnology.

After experiencing the Western military equipment embargo, Admiral Slamet Soebijanto turned to the East forpossibilities. In September 2005, the Navy Chief of Staff and his team visited Russia to explore the purchase ofwarships from Rosoboronexport, Russia's armament industry. The navy's Strategic Plan for 2003-2013, createdby Soebijanto's predecessor Bernard Kent Sondakh, included the purchase of four Sigma Class corvettes fromHolland. The plan was already approved by the House of Representatives (DPR). The four ships were to bepurchased in two stages-the first in 2003. The Dutch government provided export credit facilities. The first twoships were currently being constructed and were expected to be ready in 2007.

After the presentation of the project 20382 Tiger Corvette, an export variant of the project 20380 Steregushchiy(Guardian) Corvette, a number of participants of the International Naval Salon held in June 2007 in St.Petersburg, there was some customer interest in it. Rosoboronexport (Russian Defense Export State Corporation)was working actively in this direction and hoped to have some particular contracts by the summer of 2008.

On 29 June 2007, at the 3rd International Naval Exhibition in St. Petersburg, Rosoboronexports First DeputyDirector General Vladimir Pakhomov and Indonesian Naval Forces Commander Admiral Slamet Subijanto signeda contract agreement on building project-20382 Tiger corvettes for Indonesias Navy. Later a firm contract wouldhave to be signed, fixing the terms for the projects implementation and the number of ships to be built.

The corvette hulls would be built in Spain according to Russias design. There they would be equipped withengines and navigation equipment. The corvettes would sail under their own power to Severnaya Verf, wherecommunication equipment, radio-electric equipment, armaments and other systems would be installed.

It was Indonesia that required the corvettes hull to be built in Spain. Rosoboronexport agreed to this plan in orderto gain access to Indonesias naval market. Spain had been successfully working at Indonesias defense marketfor a long time. Thus it was said to be easier for Rosoboronexport to promote Russian ships to Indonesia thruSpain. Spain had not initially chosen the dockyard for building the corvettes.

Russias Ministry of Industry and Energy believed that such international cooperation could delay the contractssigning and implementation. It would be necessary to obtain numerous licenses for supplying the corvettesdesign data to Spain, and this would require solving issues of intellectual property rights, commercial and statesecret protection,. Russia already had a positive experience suppling India with of ing European and Israelielectronic systems installed on Russian Su-30MKI fighter jets, and Russian fire system Smerch, onto CzechTatra trucks. However, these projects were difficult to implement due to the substantiall amount of coordinationwork required.

By mid-2007 Rosoboronexport State Corp., the Moscow-based state intermediary arms-trade agency, wasbriefing Algeria, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore on the new Project 20382 Tigr. At present,corvettes are employed by 30 nations while only 7 nations are capable of building them. Estimated marketcapacity as concerns such ships for 20 years to come is USD 9.5 billion.
