Russia should learn from Turkey's experience in building warships

3

The completion of the construction of the Turkish L-400 Anadolu amphibious assault ship illustrates the difference in the approach of Ankara and Moscow to the formation of the navy. After the US refused to supply its NATO partner with F-35 carrier-based fighters, Turkey promptly changed the project and built it as a drone carrier.

Despite the fact that in the event of a theoretical conflict between NATO and Russia, a ship of this type would be practically useless, Turkey implemented this project. The amphibious assault ship can perform a number of tasks as an expeditionary vessel and demonstrate the country's presence in the ocean.



In the Russian Federation, when developing a ship, the ultimate task that it can perform is of paramount importance. As a rule, its capabilities are analyzed in the context of the confrontation between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance. But the navy also needs to perform less serious tasks in the oceans.

Taking into account the fact that the price of building a universal landing ship is incomparably lower than the cost of creating a full-fledged cruiser, the Russian Federation should take into account the experience of Turkish colleagues. The implementation of the Russian project UDC 23900 will allow our country to get a worthy tool to demonstrate its presence in the Indian-Pacific region.

    Experience is always good to learn from.
    "Smart people learn from the experience of others, ordinary people learn from their own, fools do not learn anything" something like that.

    The problem is that Turkey already has different types of UAVs and a good school for the development and production of new ones.
    And in our country, the general project of the UDC under construction is classified. What, how, for what - one can only guess on the coffee grounds ...

    And by ourselves, such a simple way to rebuild the ship could not be figured out? So everything had to be classified, so we like to complicate everything.

    Well, here, for example, ferries? Than not landing ships. Of course, they are unarmed and for the port, but they can be adapted. Air defense can be placed. Modernize ramps. If used as part of a landing group of ships, then the use is quite possible.
