Impressive for a boat.

And what does Norway have to do with it? Is this our ship project?
Will they not "cheat" what?

[alexmach]

Shipbuilding facilities were erased by the Norwegians. What can be stolen there, this boat is already many years old? 50?
Or export missile systems soprut? The very ones whose GOS once used to be sold to states for modernization of harpoons by Russia itself?

The guys did their duty. They knew what they were going to when they entered college.
We should be proud of what we have. Such guys and the ninth. The media said: in the Krasnodar military school, girls entered, and the competition was awesome: 25 people in one place!

Their delivery for unknown reasons dragged on for almost a year (according to plan - the end of 2016).? Do not tell my knowledge.
The delivery was delayed for reasons “The main contractor on the Russian side is Vympel Shipbuilding Plant JSC through thieves from Rosoboronexport.
That is why Vietnam decided to work with the Norwegian group Ulrik Qvale & Partners AS. Otherwise, Russia would have been paid money, but the goods would not have been received.

And go back to the topic.
Regarding the Su-24, there is another page on VO

it’s not for you, the all-knowing friend, to indicate to whom, where and when to honor the memory of our fallen comrades

That a joint venture with the Norwegians is building ships, I think it is understandable: to build missile boats - not to make a pleasure boat, you need the experience of shipbuilders, but what kind of Vietnamese experience in building ships? Norwegians are born sailors and know how to build ships

The Navy, by the way, ordered two such steamboats, from sludge, which in Rybinsk interfere with 01301 and 01302. The foreign customer refused them back in the 90's. The enterprise, desperate, already wanted to cut it (was looking for financing for cutting), but as a result, the corps caught the eye of the authorities from the Moscow Region who came with an inspection and signed a contract at the end of the year.

Each such boat carries 16 anti-ship missiles. Such boats and the Russian fleet would be useful.
