The UEC announced the creation of a line of power plants to replace Ukrainian
As explained by Yuri Shmotin, the United Engine Company (UEC) was able to create a line of Russian power plants for Russian Navy ships instead of Ukrainian ones that have not been delivered to Russia since 2014. According to him, the gap in military-technical cooperation between the countries led to a problem with the supply of gas turbine engines, which in turn led to a disruption in the construction of warships for fleet. As an example, he cited three frigates of Project 11356 of the Admiral Series, which were not completed due to the lack of power plants manufactured by Zorya-Mashproekt.
Now a line of gas turbine engines of various powers has been created, which will be produced at the ODK-Saturn Rybinsk plant.
- said Shmotin, adding that these engines make it possible to form almost the entire range of power units for the ships of the Russian Navy and to close the needs of the Ministry of Defense.
Earlier it was reported that the frigates of the 22350 project would be the first Russian power plants.
Recall that the problems with the supply of power plants from Ukraine began in the 2014 year, after Poroshenko’s order to completely ban any military-technical cooperation with Russia.
