In Ukraine, announced the modernization of boats Island received from the United States

In Ukraine, it was decided to modernize the US Coast Guard Island Island patrol boats transferred to the Navy. The modernization options will be developed by the GP Experimental Design Center for Shipbuilding (OPCC), which is part of Ukroboronprom.

In Ukraine, the development of modernization options for American Island patrol boats, obtained by the Navy last year, has begun. The main direction of modernization is the maximum increase in combat effectiveness.

We are preparing proposals, and in the near future they will be presented to the command of the Navy. In our opinion, the project should provide that the modernization of Island boats should be carried out at the Nikolaev shipyard

- said Vadim Borisov, Director-General Designer of GP OPTsK, adding that the final version of modernization will be possible only after gaining practical experience in operating boats.

Recall that the US Navy in the year 2018 transferred to Ukraine decommissioned Coast Guard-class boats "Drummond" (WPB-1323) and "Cushing" (WPB-1321), built in 1988 and preserved in Baltimore.

Displacement - 169 t, length 34 m. Maximum speed - about 29,5 nodes. Crew - 16 man. Autonomy - up to 5 days. 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.

Earlier, Ukrainian media reported. that the Navy command is in talks with the US Coast Guard to transfer four more boats of this type to Ukrainian sailors. The headquarters of the Navy said that after the introduction of all boats in the Ukrainian fleet, a separate division will be formed from them, which will not only control the near sea zone, but will also be able to "go into the Mediterranean Sea to support NATO ships."

It also announced options for installing various weapons on boats - from mine-sweeping modules to the American Harpoon anti-ship missiles and the Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles.

Put rocket weapons. A pair of anti-ship missiles is quite where to place. This is if we seriously assess the potential of the enemy.

Oh and in vain you are so about them. There are quite a few brains left to take away. The truth is worse with money, but they will certainly be helped. Well-wishers will be found unfortunately.

Why Katyusha? So it’s quite possible.

One RCC instead of two on the sides. Radar and control on the wheelhouse and quite a serious boat for coastal defense.

[StudentVK]

you don’t understand one thing, that your approach is normal, but you exclude superfluity of ukrVSU and others. Take kickbacks then take ???? Why do you think they have mortars of the Second World War every third in disrepair? Or armored cars with cracked armor? and their recent scandal with bad body armor ??? This is not an accident but a pattern.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

They will find it. In addition, the United States can help, they are already allocating hundreds of millions of dollars to "aid" Ukraine, and this is only what they have officially announced.

So these boats are likely to carry the Neptune anti-ship missile system.

A sighting system where to get for RCC? They themselves will not find the ship beyond the horizon. Or eio will be RCC for direct fire?

Already the orders, go, stamped ...

[Dietmar]

The modernization should be carried out as follows - to equip the team with all the admirals, headed by the tanker and to hang the "Jolly Roger". Then go out to sea, disperse the troughs to the limit and open the Kingston! Full SUGS!

And what, puppies will make pocket battleships out of them! In the sense - in the pocket, and not in the sense of "Bismarck" ... Just need to knit bundles of reeds along the sides to increase buoyancy ...

If you can put a couple of PKR on them, then they won’t become warships. But the constant threat of a sudden blow will be created. And it will have to be taken into account

[Amateur]

Super! All "partners" are resting! Neither how, nor what, nor how much will the modernization be done. The main thing is in Nikolaev. Like "it's our turn to cut the grandmother. And then the" Forge from Poroshenko "finally became insolent.

[g1v2]

Exactly . And then the Lenin Forge shoves its boats navy. Bad, but mine. This is a mess. The natives are not supposed to have their own military-industrial complex - all that is necessary for them is to be sold to Western gentlemen or to fuse junk. Old patrol boats - just from this series. Plus Zelenka spoke about the purchase of the Turkish Altai, and the Ukrainian air force is eyeing Brazilian screw jerboas. It seems that the Ukrainian military-industrial complex will be finished off and sawed for scrap with the full approval of both the east and the west. The sooner they finish and saw it, the better.

[Rwmos]

The cut project has started! After 2, the years will be painted, and they will say that the modernization is completed - this is such a special anti-Russian coating with which these boats do not even need weapons - Russian sailors are completely deprived of rzhach from one kind.
Although, maybe they will put some "cavunomet Golod"

[LeonidL]

Great idea! Not yet received, but already being upgraded! How cute and how Seljuk-like. Self-made rogues pile up on boats for the love of gigantomania something generated by their gloomy genius, or rather remade from strictly Soviet. Poor-poor boats. if they come to the Black Sea and survive, they will also be sent to the Mediterranean ... Ah, to drown so without too much torment in their native ports.

[Candidate of Military Sciences]

Yes, we are already in the know. The boats were covered with rust for camouflage and thus greatly upgraded. It turned out very clearly. Now these are level 80 boats).

[rayruav]

I read komenty and wonder why it’s ridiculous to shoot harpoons at these oil rigs with these boats, and add that the towers are protected by project 22 awkward patrol ships, I don’t remember what happened there our people will die and unfortunately we can’t say that our land is rich in people

Use them as minzags ... Hardly for today. To do this, at least you need the actual mines. As I understand it, the NATO model. And to deliver sea mines, but in peacetime ... The land is unlikely ...
Well, how will a civilian explode ?! Do you imagine the resonance in the world community? .. UA-multiplied by zero.

[petrol cutter]

Honestly, I did not understand. Is the boat already in UA? Or are they still in their historical homeland ...
Judging by the displacement and performance characteristics, the boats are quite a boat!
Such boats - many sorrows can actually deliver after modernization and equipping with appropriate weapons. And this will not be the case. UA has no problems with sanctions. Unlike us. There the steamers will be "packed" with the latest nanotechnology. Keep calm...

[Antares]

the final version of the modernization of patrol boats will be adopted after the Ukrainian Navy receives a wide practical experience of using Island.

that is, when they get to Odessa and practice.

Modernization of boats will be aimed at maximizing combat effectiveness. Now, the company's specialists have already received the necessary technical documentation for boats, which allows for modernization using all the capabilities of Island.

documentation has now been received to evaluate the possibilities of modernization on their own.
Therefore, a competition was announced for the modernization project.
The best project will be implemented.

Question: what will the conversion of a patrol boat into a missile cost? Let's estimate:
- installation of interceptors (stabilizers pitching) - this is so, on the little things
- complete redevelopment
- installation of containers for RCC
- installation of a gas exhaust system / crew protection
- installation of radars and their integration into the LMS
- installation of hydrofoils and / or alteration of the body (for planing)
- replacement of engines (and / or additional installation of gas turbines), etc ....
I'm afraid to imagine how much such an upgrade will cost (reminds me of converting a Zaporozhets into an F-1 car, where the humpback is the cheapest part). IMHO.

Everything will be much simpler. A radar to the roof of the bridge, one or two skirting guides, a machine gun, or a 30mm AU to the tank, everything else is unchanged.

Maybe, but then it will not be a full-fledged missile boat, but an ersatz version with very limited functionality. Such a "Kassam" on the launch. I was talking about a complete alteration into a serious combat unit. But, even in the case of a good upgrade, this banderocorvette will face the fate of Georgian boats during the 08.08.08 conflict.
