Not so long ago, the website was rising issue that can be set on the French UDC type "Mistral".
Not divided between a "dead cat", the two sides did then this: Our homeland has decided to build huge ships are not on the territory of Ukraine, and Ukraine refused to take arms for Russian Ukrainian corvette.
As a result, the mutual political offense — a violation of logistics simply "Hide." But in this case, the political ambitions of stronger economic dividends.
It seems that it was, but the construction of the lead ship in the series under the name "Vladimir the Great" is even ahead of schedule. Deadlines are shifted from spring 2015 to the autumn of 2014.
At first, the project was planned 50/50, where half of this body, cooling systems and power plant will be part of the navigation equipment of Ukrainian origin, and all that is not enough — buy it. But it turned out that the Ukrainian scientific school can provide Russian avionics and radar equipment. It is not better or worse — it's his own. As a result fraction of imported devices was reduced to the 60/40 and as close to 70/30.
So it will still be standing on the corvette? Let's start with the Ukrainian samples:
Ship functional radar complex targeting ASM "Morena";
Optical-radar "Partisan-K" — System management of medium-caliber artillery fire;
Functional radar "Phoenix-U";
Optoelectronic station radial survey "Selena" — for the management and control of the location the ship;
AP "VZOI-glances" — system mutual exchange of information and mutual orientation of Task Force;
"Positive-1U" common radar detection of air and surface targets;
ORLS "Spear-It" — for the management of small-caliber artillery systems;
Optoelectronic station to ensure the take-off and landing "Saiga";
Complex signals intelligence "Button";
Hydroacoustic complex "Summer Lightning";
System remotely operated underwater vehicle control — "KNPA-58250."
6-Barrel LSD "Hephaestus" 12.7 mm — 2 pcs.
SAM complexes «ASTER-15" has been proposed to change the RR complex "Dnepr".
Imported component came into service. Ukraine does not produce a ship's cannon. Design their systems for such a small party uneconomical. The process of creation of the project fell on hard in the relations between Russia and Ukraine period, and for the delivery of Russian counterparts failed, so he had to order from the Germans, Italians and French. As a result we have such "soup set":
ASM Exocet — 8 pcs.
Torpedo tubes V515 -2 to 3 pc.
Gun mount 76/62 Super Rapid — 1 pc.
Gun mounts Millennium, 35 — mm Naval Gun System — 2 pcs.
System Active Protection «MASS» — 2 pcs
Initially, it was planned to use a helicopter NH90, but due to the development of the Mi-2 helicopter new, while buying Italian and French cars of the unknown.
The most causing huge embarrassment value. Price lead ship is estimated at 312 million euros, while the price of the next 258 million euros. For comparison, the Turkish corvette project MILGEM possess the same set of weapons, but the smallness of the smallest displacement are worth $ 260 million.
What kind of export is all about?
