    The serial construction of one type of destroyer in the United States gives remarkable results. And we have a layout with floating pyramids with 19000 tons of displacement, which will bury our fleet, because while it will be built by 30 for three years and three years and spend the budget, our first ranks will decay completely. The frigates of the 22350 project are extremely necessary with a series of at least 12 units (for the brigade on the Northern Fleet and Pacific Fleet).

      and we DO NOT have civil shipbuilding, we have no specialists, we don’t have enough industry, we don’t have anything to build first class ships,

      but there are awesome mockups and awesome managers, and what kind of PR people we have, Rogozin once, the children of Peskov grow up two, and the other princes and boyars grow up the same three, soon they will again explain everything to us on a state defense order, by having no analogous world, and that's all such that we have heard many times and again not averse to listening

      ps you turned down about the leader’s construction, you can build it for at least a hundred years anyway
      the first class is not for us, here the frigates build piece by piece - industry in a de-industrialized country doesn’t pull anything at all.

      No need to suck out from the finger that which does not have a place to be. Firstly, to compare the Leader with YaSU and displacement in 18000 tons with Burke, in itself a bad manners. But as for the destroyers, the destroyer of the Super-Pot 20350M project is precisely the answer to Burke. Another question is when the head Super-Pots are laid.

        Aren't you ashamed yourself? Of course, comparing a real serial ship, 67 copies of which have already been handed over to the fleet, with a model that it is unclear when it will be built and whether it will be built at all, of course mauvais ton ...

          For example, deposits, and many, have been explored, but no production is underway. This is the desert, do not forget that even the most advanced methods of geological exploration often simply lie, or do not see anything.

            Yes, we also have at least a rolling ball beyond the Urals, with the exception of the south and the Trans-Siberian Railway. The population density of Kamchatka is approximately equal to the population density of Alaska. And the population density of Chukotka is 7 times lower than that of Alaska.

      State Arms Program for 2011–2020 (GPV-2020).
      It was supposed to build by 2020:
      - 8 strategic nuclear missile cruisers (SSBNs),
      - 7 multipurpose nuclear submarines,
      - 8 diesel-electric submarines,
      -14 frigates (projects 22350 and 11356),
      - 24 corvettes (projects 20380, 20385 and 22160).
      Built:
      - out of 8 “Boreevs” we have only 3 ships in service,
      -of 7 "Ashen" in the presence of only 1,
      - out of 8 diesel boats, 6 were delivered,
      -from 14 frigates built 4,
      - 24 out of 4 corvettes.
      The average construction period for frigates of project 11356 was 5,3 years.
      The construction in China of a similar displacement and weaponry of a Chinese frigate of the Zhoushan type (project 054A) varies between 2,0–2,5 years.
      The construction of the 855 (855M) multipurpose nuclear submarine takes about 8 years.
      The entry dates for the Virginia Block III series are just 2,5 years.

        Dear colleague (and even, if I'm not mistaken, a fellow countryman from the Crimea), this whole penguinarium is explained simply:
        - Everyone knows that now the Yankees are stubbornly squeezing out of their junior NATO partners the maintenance of the military budget at a level of at least 2% of GDP (in terms of gross domestic product :))), and the majority of those in the partner position rest on a hysterical screech ... they say it is unjustified a lot, it is nevertheless necessary not only to restrain Russia, but a little bit for education and for social programs and for the economy ...
        - further simple arithmetic - we take 2% of our GDP (again, the gross product :))) and first start dividing it into the types of armed forces (Strategic Missile Forces, Ground Forces, Air Force, Navy, rear, MTS, research and development and R&D, etc. .), and then in each article - again divide (by the maintenance of l / s, by maintaining the combat readiness of the already available rider, floating and flying, by MTO and fuels and lubricants, by "black bombs, white shells and yellow cartridges", etc.). and so on). Well, when there is very little money left for the item "purchase of weapons and military equipment", then we will divide the remainder by the amount "I want to have" and as a result we will get a much smaller amount of "I can afford." And then industrial and banking managers start working with this "I can afford", the result is obvious
