Project 23550 is a class of armed icebreaking patrol ships under construction for the Russian Navy.{{cite web |url=https://zvezdaweekly.ru/news/202121134-R6ziD.html |title=Скоро в Арктике будет "Пурга" |language=ru |author=Vladimir Yeranosyan |website=Zvezda Armed Forces Teleradio Company |date=8 February 2021 |access-date=9 December 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028144649/https://zvezdaweekly.ru/news/202121134-R6ziD.html |archive-date=28 October 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/23550.htm|title=Project 23550 Ivan Papanin - patrol icebreaker|website=Global Security}} Two ships were ordered from Saint Petersburg-based Admiralty Shipyards in 2016.{{cite web|url=https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/5303105|title=Второй патрульный ледокол «Николай Зубов» будет заложен в 2020 году|language=ru|website=TASS|date=19 June 2018|access-date=25 October 2019}} The ships are designed to patrol the Russian territorial waters and exclusive economic zone in the Arctic. The ships are also referred as "Arktika" type ({{langx|ru|шифр «Арктика»|translation=codename Arctic}}).

During the launching ceremony of the lead ship, it was announced that two additional ships of slightly revised design would be built for the FSB Border Service of Russia by Vyborg Shipyard. The derivative design is also referred to as "Ermak" type ({{langx|ru|шифр «Ермак»|link=no|translation=codename Yermak}}).

Design

Project 23550 patrol ships have a planned displacement of {{convert|8500|t|lk=in}}, a length of {{convert|114|m|ftin}} and a draught of {{convert|6|m|ftin}}. The ships will be equipped with two {{sclass2|Raptor|patrol boat|1}}s, a {{nowrap|Ka-27}} helicopter and small hovercraft. The core crew is planned at 60 with accommodation for an additional 50 mission specialists. Armament will include a {{convert|76|mm|in|adj=on|sp=us|0}} naval gun (some sources state a {{convert|100|mm|in|abbr=on}} naval gun){{cite web |url=https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31040/russia-is-eying-more-armed-icebreakers-after-launching-missile-toting-arctic-patrol-ship |title=Russia Is Eying More Armed Icebreakers After Launching Missile-Toting Arctic Patrol Ship |author=Joseph Trevithick |website=The Drive |date=14 November 2019 |access-date=3 February 2023 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207094340/https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31040/russia-is-eying-more-armed-icebreakers-after-launching-missile-toting-arctic-patrol-ship |archive-date=7 December 2022}} and 3M-54 Kalibr anti-ship missiles in the {{nowrap|Club-K}} container variant.{{cite web |url=https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/10/russia-launches-project-23550-patrol-ship-purga/ |title=Russia Launches Project 23550 Patrol Ship "Purga" |website=Naval News |date=9 October 2022 |access-date=16 December 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012101003/https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/10/russia-launches-project-23550-patrol-ship-purga/ |archive-date=12 October 2022}}

Project 23550 will have an integrated electric propulsion with four {{convert|3500|kW|adj=on|lk=on}} Kolomna {{nowrap|28-9DG}} main diesel gensets consisting of V16 engine 10D49 diesel engines driving alternators produced by Ruselprom. In addition, the ships will have two auxiliary diesel gensets with Kolomna diesel engines and Ruselprom alternators. While the early concept featured ABB Azipod azimuthing propulsion units, the final design has two conventional shaft lines, propellers and rudders. The {{convert|6300|kW|hp|adj=on}} propulsion motors will be produced by Ruselprom. The ships will have an endurance of 70 days and a range of {{convert|10000|nmi|lk=in}} at economic speed of {{convert|10|kn|lk=in}}. Their maximum speed is {{convert|18|kn}}.

The vessels are strengthened for navigation in ice-covered arctic seas according to the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping ice class Arc7. They are designed to break ice up to {{convert|1.7|m|ftin}} thick.

Think tank Global Security pointed out several similarities between the Project 23550 design and {{ship|NoCGV|Svalbard}}, and Canada's {{sclass|Harry DeWolf|offshore patrol vessel|4}}. All three class are of approximately the same displacement, capable of transitting similar thickness of ice and have similar size crews, with room for mission specialist. Project 23550 is, however, much more heavily armed.

In 2020, it was announced that the Russian Navy would begin sea trials to test the installation of module containers on patrol vessels permitting such ships to carry significantly upgraded armaments tailored to different missions. The containers were envisaged to carry various weapons including sonars and torpedoes or anti-ship and cruise missiles.{{cite web |url=https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2020/08/russian-navy-to-begin-trials-of-modular-systems-for-surface-vessels/ |title=Russian Navy To Begin Trials Of Modular Systems For Surface Vessels |author=Xavier Vavasseur |website=Naval News |date=3 August 2020 |access-date=10 February 2021}}
