The Project 15470 is a class of frigates in service with the Unifying Navy. Conceived as the primary unit of the Navy in 1990s, the ship was designed with extensive assistance of Redisan and Elatian shipbuilders. Initial batch was partially constructed on the foreign shipyards or with foreign supervision, while further batches were entirely domestically constructed.

All ships of the family are multipurpose vessels, capable of combating air, surface and sub-surface threats, as well as providing support for landing operations. Eight midship missiles serve as their primary offensive weapon, while 36 vertical launch cells at the fore contain various air defence missiles. In addition to that, the first batch carried three 100mm turrets to serve as both anti-ship and anti-air weapons, while the later batches switched flanking turrets for the domestic twin 60mm mounts. Two helicopters complement the design's offensive capabilities.

The family serves as the mainstay of the Unifying Navy and its most numerous surface combatant.

General characteristics

All sub-types of the Project 15470 share the same layout, characterized by low superstructure, several antenna masts, two funnels and a wide helicopter hangar. The hull is 138.1 m long overall, with a beam of 14.6 meters and the draught of 4.6 meters without the 4-meter fore bulb. Project 15473 is distinguished by its low radar cross-section superstructure.

Ships of the class are powered by the COGAG propulsion system, with two 10kW cruise gas turbines and two 27.5kW boost gas turbines. The top speed is estimated to be in excess of 32 knots, while the operational range of 4,000 nautical miles at 18 knots is typical for contemporary frigates.

The primary offensive weapon of the class are two missile mounts amidships that allow variety of missile container launchers to be fitted. Initial ships used exclusively the imported Moskit anti-ship missiles, but at some point around 2008 further launchers were developed for other types of missiles, apparently including the Kalibr cruise missile family. For anti-air defence, the ships carry 36 vertical-launch cells in three groups of 12 for various medium and short-range surface-to-air missiles. The exact types of SAMs in service of the Solar Autocracy are unknown, but could be derives from Rezese, Redisan and Elatian systems.

In addition to missiles, the ships carry 100mm guns licensed from Elatia. Ships of the Project 15471 carry three such guns: one fore and two flanking the superstructure midships. Starting with Project 15472, the flanking 100mm guns were replaced with domestic twin 60mm CIWS, reportedly derived from Velikoslavian 60mm gun. As an auxiliary armament, ships of the Project 15471 carry four manned twin 25mm mounts, two at the fore superstructure behind the fire control radar, and two on top of the hangar, while the following Project 15472 carries the same number of 25mm remote weapon stations instead.

The electronic equipment varies between the sub-classes, but typically consists of a 3D air search radar, a missile control radar, a gunnery radar, a navigational radar, and an electronic warfare suite. Project 15473 replaces missile and gunnery radars with an integrated radar mast, possibly derived from the one outfitted on Project 10705 frigates.
