US “strengthens” Ukrainian fleet with two more decommissioned boats

In light of the incident in the Kerch Strait, the United States will continue to support Ukraine and will continue to provide military assistance to Kiev to confront Russia in the waters of the Azov and Black Seas. In this case, the main will be the delivery of two more decommissioned patrol boats. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the United Armed Forces (OVS) of NATO in Europe, American General Curtis Scaparotti, reports TASS.

Speaking to the US Congress, he confirmed that the Pentagon plans to supply sniper to Ukraine in the future weapon, ammunition and marine systems. Also, according to him, the United States will continue to strengthen the Naval forces of Ukraine, supplying them with various equipment, but the main supply will be the transfer of two more decommissioned Island class patrol boats to replenish the composition fleet and confront Russian ships. At the same time, Scaparotti did not specify when exactly the United States would transfer boats to Ukraine. In addition, the United States will increase funding for some assistance programs to Kiev.

The United States has previously transferred two Island-class patrol boats to Ukraine. The ceremonial signing of the agreement, which was attended by President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, was held in Baltimore at the end of September last year. Boats are still in the US, in Ukraine they say that they will be introduced into the Navy of Ukraine this fall. In this case, before the transfer from the boats removed all weapons. Kiev pays for the modernization and repair of boats, their transportation to Odessa and personnel training.

The Ukrainian Navy said that after arriving in Odessa, they would supply weapons to boats and ship them to the Sea of ​​Azov to "confront Russian aggression."

Need to expand the parking lot in Kerch? Or wait ....

[siberalt]

Wow, damn it! How many Crimean naval scrap metal they have left. We give it to them for nothing. So no, they drive the same thing from the USA, and even grandmas pay for it.

[Spartanez300]

To what all the same humiliation the dill has sunk, they vparivayut trash written off and they are happy. As loudly said "they will resist the Russian warships", laughter and nothing more.

[hydrox]

The skakuasas had problems with these toys :: Petro Lekseich threatened everyone that his enterprises would not put slingshots to these boats, since other weapons were already removed from these boats :: in addition, his team had disagreements about the caliber of the stones to be shot these slingshots (they say that they are intercontinental !!!) - I do not have enough education to capture the meaning of this power!

[lwxx]

Vtorsyrchermet, that’s the correct name for the Ukrainian fleet.

It's not funny, because the "exceptional" will not be limited to two old boxes to help the Nazi Ruin. After the withdrawal from the INF Treaty, calls are increasingly heard in Washington for the deployment of lethal American weapons (anti-ship missiles and the notorious medium-range missiles) on the territory of the Ruins, and this is no longer funny and requires an increased attitude from the Russian Federation.

[kepmor]

oh and generous you, Cyril ... not counts ... if anything, the prisoners may hang out on barrels ...

[Fantazer911]

Well, I still have American boats handed over to Ukraine to moor in the Crimea, and why such a collection, if of course they even reach the destination.
Immediately I remembered the movie 'destination'

[Evdokim]

All the stuff Khokhlam.

[Hagalaz]

It is possible that the boat is still quite nothing. Especially by the standards of Khokhlyat. But they must also be kept. You can’t fill the oil later and do not delay it, well, yes, the second-hand one will require any repair.

Oil is not anyhow, fuel, too, rare parts, expensive. It’s expensive to keep junk in order. And besides, these are boats by the shore of the guard, not the Navy.

So they are being forced into this stuff to complete a one-time task - to commit another provocation. And then everything will be as usual ..... "give Bandera for the sake of"

[Berber]

Not only that, trash, but also for the money. Repair, then you have to pay.

[Avior]

if in Kiev they bring the RCC to their minds, the candidates for installation are quite imagined.

[Bull Terrier]

for sure. here’s a weld from the channel and the launcher)

[Avior]

launchers are now all containerized; there is no big problem to fasten if there is space and displacement allows.
Launch preparation equipment is oversized and not complicated

[Bull Terrier]

and they got launch containers?))))

[Avior]

in the video they started out of the pipe.
But are there other PKR?

[Bull Terrier]

in this matter, that’s the essence) x 35 from my uranium jumped out on ships and does it have them?)

or will they cut them off from missile boats?)

[Avior]

why did they let them in tests.
maybe cut down.
launcher is still easier than creating a rocket

[Bull Terrier]

Well, let's see what they rivet there) is most curious. it’s possible to remake an old rocket, but something from scratch, like a container, you can hardly believe in something. if they had already added them somewhere. were coastal complexes in Ukraine? I don’t remember nude at all.

[orionvitt]

Quote: Bull Terrier

were coastal complexes in Ukraine?

Before the collapse of the Union, in Ukraine there was everything in huge quantities. The question is, is it now? And if it remains, then in what condition? I doubt that it is operational. In addition, no one was engaged in the full training of military personnel capable of correctly using and maintaining such systems. Specialists with more Soviet training left, and new ones, as it were not.

[Bull Terrier]

Well, of course. it’s just curious and true how they want to launch RCC. Well, I do not believe that they themselves have already done the launcher. somehow it does not fit with the fact that they are releasing for the fleet. if we could have done this pepelats would have shown. for the same wheeled self-propelled guns they blinded from everything in a row and boast.

RCC on a 110-foot boat with a displacement of less than 200 tons? Except as side boosters ...
The maximum that you can put on it is some kind of overcooled ATGM (like the Hellfire modification that they wanted to stick on the LCS).

[Avior]

RCC are different. Uranium is about 200 kg.

[Alexey RA]

Is the Uranium anti-ship missile system the X-35 Harpoon? So there only one rocket weighs 620 kg.
Plus TPK and PU. Plus a set of equipment. Plus reinforcements under the deck at the installation site at least PU.
And now, after installing the anti-ship missile system on "Island", we get a nice object for diving.

[CentDo]

Uranium is an anti-ship missile system, which includes the X-35 missile. If you are talking about her, then there is a starting weight of about 650 kg, as far as I remember. Where did you get that 200?

[Simferopol]

That’s it, I’m dumping from Russia.

[morpogr]

Thunderstorm of the Navy

[Kerensky]

The United States had previously handed over two decommissioned Island class patrol boats to Ukraine.

Do they have semi-island boats? Ukraine would have liked ...

[Well done]

So the previous ones have not yet sailed. Or sailed?

[Invoce]

Amerikosy thought out! They give dill a loan for the purchase of weapons and military equipment and impart to them the same junk and illiquid assets! And no need to bother with recycling In a word Business and nothing personal!

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

Also, the price tag will be inflated for decommissioned boats. All that is not rubbish, everything is sold there, and Kiev is happy about it.

[Nick]

It seems that the Americans have solved the problem with the cost of recycling marine vehicles. Ukraine helped solve the problem.
All the same, Trump, no matter what, is an intelligent businessman. Bravo! Elegant solution.

Just wondering how much it costs to cut such a boat for scrap? Not at all 10 million dollars

And why cut, they themselves will drown, somewhere near the Kerch bridge.

[ochakow703]

No, that won’t work! Why are we supposed to protect this junk !? Let's take something fresher, then you can collect the marine unit from these trophies.

[glum]

Well, the boats are not written off, but mothballed, and this is like 2 big differences

[high]

More than 30 patrol boats of the Island class are still on guard at the US Coast Guard today.
Ukraine does not have ships of a similar class and will not have their own production in the near future.

Coast Guard, this is not the Navy, it has different tasks. To catch a poacher, to drive small drug dealers, to catch illegal migrants. Ships of this class are not adapted for a full-fledged confrontation, even with a small guard, or a missile boat. Will be sunk in the second second of the battle.

do they take them for battle?
No, it’s just for these purposes that they performed the same functions in the USA in Ukraine.
The fleet will not go bankrupt (new large ships) prefer to invest in missiles. Well, the little things.
As for large ships, they will also refuse (Ukrainians themselves, as in the case of the Hornets), there is no way to service them. The World Cup pool is fairly well shot.

[orionvitt]

Quote: Antares

do they take them for battle?

If there is nothing else. In Ukraine, they are going to sink the Russian fleet from their inflatable boats. Proudly calling it the "mosquito fleet". And in general, the topic of any "development" in Ukraine of anything at all (except for corruption in the government and poverty among the people) is simply absurd in its essence. The complete degradation of everything, and in a geometric progression.

[Diana]

Ukraine does not have ships of a similar class

There is. In the marine conservation. And even an excess amount.

[nov_tech.vrn]

judging by the fact that the previous vessels were never delivered, it will be a fleet in exile

[Andrei Gurov]

This will be the naval base of Ukraine in the United States.

[Cowbra]

The boats are still located in the USA, in Ukraine they declare that they will be included in the Navy in the autumn of this year. At the same time, all weapons were removed from the boats before being transferred.

Reminds of a bawdy anecdote ... "What, scary? - Oh, scary! The first time I will fuck so scary"!

[orionvitt]

If most of the "Ukrainian fleet" will be idle in the US, well, it will only benefit the world.

According to official information, island-class boats have a displacement of 169 tons, a cruising range of 3300 nautical miles (more than 6100 kilometers), a maximum speed of 29,5 knots (almost 55 kilometers per hour), and autonomy for 5 days.
Crew - 16 people (2 officers and 14 sailors and foremen).
Armament - an automatic gun of 25 mm caliber and two machine guns of 12,7 mm caliber. Boats have a motor boat for inspection, landing and rescue operations.

Compare these boats, which still serve in the USA today, with Russian ...

[Rzzz]

Which Russian? And by what parameters? Full analogues, yes, and really not. But our tasks are different.

[Vasyan1971]

... the main [help] will be the delivery of two more decommissioned patrol boats.

Eh, walk the flaw!

[Butchcassidy]

It’s purely for myself that I’m stupidly neighing: how can the decommissioned boats of the US Coast Guard, designed to drive away the fragile boats of Cuban emigrants, can somehow affect the potential of interaction between the Ukrainian Navy (God forgive me!) And the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy?

[bone1]

That's because the Yankee presses are talking about 2 more lousy katerishki with such a pomp as whether they give a pair of AB

[APASUS]

How will this metellol from the USA affect the Ukrainian Navy?

[Metallurg_2]

This is an occasion to make two more capras to the admirals.

[NF68]

There is no sense in transferring anything else to present-day Ukraine. Or quietly drink or ditch.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

Well, well, they put their sniper rifles there. How many? 500? 1000? on the scale of the war it does not matter what.
