In the US, on the new landing ship of the Russian Navy: If you can’t buy, then you need to steal

31

The Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the construction of two universal landing ships (UDC) with the Zaliv enterprise from Kerch. The amount of the contract is about 1,4 billion dollars. Experts of the American Forbes publication draw attention to the similarity of the new ships of the Russian Navy with the French Mistrals.

If it’s impossible to buy, then you need to steal. The Russians chose this approach to get helicopter carriers six years after Paris refused to sell the Mistrals

- note in Forbes.



Both new Russian ships are very similar to the French UDC in appearance. The displacement of ships is also similar - 20 thousand tons. Military vessels will be able to take on board 900 paratroopers, as well as landing boats and up to 20 helicopters.

In the US, on the new landing ship of the Russian Navy: If you can’t buy, then you need to steal

In the construction of new ships, the Russians will benefit from the experience that they have gained under the contract for the acquisition of Mistral. However, according to Forbes, if the Russian Federation is going to copy the French UDC, this does not mean that it will succeed - the Russian shipbuilding industry has been stubbornly trying to build some kind of ship more than a frigate in the last few years.

On our own, we note that the construction of the UDC in Russia is in no way connected with the “theft of the French of technologies"In which the American media are trying to blame Moscow. Firstly, the aft parts of both Mistrals were manufactured at the Baltic Shipyard (St. Petersburg), which implied the presence of French drawings and technologies in Russian shipbuilders. Secondly, the break of the contract by Paris in 2014, in addition to the refund of the funds paid, as well as the fine, implied the transfer of incomplete technical documentation to the Mistral UDC.

      - The fact that the "termination of the contract" ... "meant the transfer of incomplete technical documentation to the UDC" does not mean at all that this transfer took place ... - Here and with the "return of the funds paid, as well as a fine" ... - absolutely nothing is clear .... - some kind of continuous indistinct muttering; and even with the documentation ... - and even more ...

        This was all spelled out in the terms of the agreement - the contract for the construction and transfer of the Mistral UDC to our Navy. And since the contract was signed by both parties and paid in full on our side, then your arguments have no logic. What, in your opinion, does not a signed and fully ratified treaty bind anyone to anything? All possible risks are clearly stated there, so what you write here is fiction, and nothing more.

          - Here you are personally ...- you can find out and name the amount that France returned (did not return) to Russia; due to the fact that it broke the contract with Russia ??? - Can you name ??? - Well, name it ...

            As it is not known, if Russia received compensation from France in the amount of 1,2 billion euros - I myself personally heard Shoigu's answer to a question from journalists. Where does your opinion come from? From unfounded statements. I looked on the Internet all about the Mistrals, their characteristics and internal compartments with all the weapons and marines that fit in the nomenclature. Russia has created a completely different helicopter carrier, even the appearance is different - nose, sides and rear. And the internal compartments are made differently. And also our Helicopter carriers are able to operate even in the Arctic, which was not on the Mistrals. The purchase of the Mistrals was not a mistake. Russian scientists learned the secrets of a unified information control of the Mistrals with other types of troops, as well as some technologies of interest to ours. Based on this, conclusions were drawn and changes were made to our helicopter carriers, taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the Mistrals. This means that our Helicopter carriers will be an order of magnitude more perfect, which means they will be better than the Mistrals. And the cherry on the cake on Russian helicopter carriers will be their own powerful electronic warfare analogue "Krasukh-4", as well as up to ten anti-ship Kh-59MK2 (the sea version is an analogue of small zircon with a range of up to 300 km). Carrier. Helicopters Ka-52M naval version and a complex with torpedoes - this is without taking into account its air defense. Redoubt with a range of up to 150 km and an analogue of Pantsir S1M1 up to 40 km and many other offensive and defensive weapons, which cannot be said about the Mistral helicopter carriers and all other Western analogues. If, and there are small air defense systems and there is no electronic warfare there.

              - What personally can I answer you if personally I write about what, what, what ...:

              The hull of the Black Eagle tank is based on a platform with seven rollers ... - The hull of the Armata tank (T-14) is also based on a platform with seven rollers ...

              - And for me personally they put a bunch of minuses ... What are they already here ... here ... here ... - helicopter carriers ...
              You wrote a lot, and even about the fact that:

              our Helicopter carriers are able to operate even in the Arctic, which was not on the Mistrals

              - Well, what's the Arctic? Think for yourself ...
              - And also about the return of Russia "in 1,2 billion" ... - this is for the general public ...
              - In general, the topic about our Helicopter carriers and the Mistral ... is very large and interesting ... - And this topic is not finished ...- it will continue for a very long time ...
              - But this is hardly a topic for "Reporter" ...
              - Generally ... after "Black Eagle" and "Armata" (how many rollers they have) ... - to be honest ... - I have less and less desire to discuss something here in more or less detail and seriously .. ...

                Stunned. Your seven rinks are from the category that someone made a car on round wheels. This is not a technology that is unique and the presence of which speaks of copying. Therefore, catch the cons.
                Why do not you believe in the return of compensation under the contract? What are your words based on? On guesses? Ok - catch the minus. Guess more.
                Mafrals were not needed; We didn’t take into account all our latitudes. Why are you again, not knowing anything in fact, refuse this project to be adapted to our conditions? It’s a pity you can’t put another minus.

        You are absolutely right. I think Russia was completely driven! Putin tried so hard not to offend the French, who simply spat in the face of the country in which he was president that everything could be! Moreover, it is precisely known that Putin forgave a fine of 200 million! 200 million there, 200 here, what to him! I think the technology was so incomplete that there was nothing to talk about!

        According to the contract, 2 ships were to be built by the French, and 2 ships were to be built at our shipyards. To do this, we were given a set of documentation for the construction of these ships. And it was incomplete because the stern was designed by us, and those ships that were built in France, and those that we had, were designed with our stern.

      They gave not only the loot for the contract, but also a fine. We took away our already installed iron. And the Egyptians who bought the Mistral, adapted for our helicopters, were forced to order them from us.

      Experts of the American edition of Forbes are ordinary bullies.
      According to the technical documents handed over to them, Russian shipbuilders built half of the Mistrals in St. Petersburg and after the termination of the contract, Russia received from the French all the technical documentation for these helicopter carriers. The French returned all the money received from Russia and reimbursed all expenses associated with the termination of the contract on the acquisition of Mistral.
