      In the same place as now!
      But then there was 2012 year, and VNEU was only among the Germans. Today is 2017 in the yard, but our aerobic engine is still gone ... NAPL will not be bought without VNEU anymore, well, except for the poorest ... and that is the question.

        Greetings, Alexander! It turns out old 209-th project is tenacious as ever. And he is a typical mazutnik. In general, judging by the complete collapse of the 212 project, VNEU did not really go with the Germans. I think we realized before. Although we have "grenades of the wrong system." And one more moment. In the south, for some reason, it is small boats that are fond of. - single hull. Yes, and the displacement here is half of our diesel

    But what about the Germans themselves? So, a shoemaker without boots?
    === Germany was left without combat-ready submarines ===
