3 years on the stocks, 1 year for finishing work. Well, the pace. And the engines are Chinese. Where is import substitution?

Import substitution settled in Belarus ..., together with shrimps and apples.

This is the opposite of import substitution. The project initially had Zvezdy, 504 cars. All the stars are now going to RTOs. And since this is an auxiliary ship, Chinese diesel engines of the MTU type were screwed onto the torpedoes. Tsutswang.

The BMPD blog is just the most authoritative source - they promptly and competently provide information.

And what does the bmpd blog do not suit you? Why didn't his authority come to you? I saw there, also a person from the country of yellow-blue fumes, with a replica about Chinese engines appeared :)
And regarding Chinese engines on an auxiliary unit, what's so terrible about it? Correctly in the comments on the same bmpd they wrote in the same whine, I quote - "Abrams with a German cannon and an Israeli KAZ does not bother you? And this is an MBT, not an auxiliary boat." And one more comment, to me
I also liked it there, regarding the same whine (I quote) - "This is different. This is with its owners. In such cases, these jesters write that their owners simply choose the best!"

- and import substitution is where "English, American, French, Ukrainian and Polish engines"
- available?

Import substitution into a series of 2 auxiliary ships that are needed yesterday ?!
These 2 babies will save you a lot of money on testing and / or exercises.
What are you talking about? It would be a nice bonus, but it's definitely not worth waiting for another couple of years!

... The pace of construction of the boat,
And this is not a destroyer, a cruiser, they simply amaze. And if it rains after shrinkage, in the sense of war. How to make up for the losses at such a rate.

[donavi49]

And if there is a war, these boats will not be especially needed.

[Daniil Konovalenko]

And what about replenishing the losses of large ships? or are they all unsinkable? Or renovation?

[KCA]

Based on the lack of weapons, the boat is not for war, but for catching its torpedoes after tests or training launches, do you need a lot of them?

[Daniil Konovalenko]

If a Navy boat is not for war, you can build it for 3 years .. As if ships for a war are built twice as fast.

[Cyril G ...]

Look at how Russia builds nuclear submarines pr.636 for the Russian Navy .. For example, the construction time from the laying Kolpino 25 months passed before the transfer to the Navy.

By the way, there is absolutely sadness on Yantar.

OIS Almaz was dragged to Kornilov at an intermediate cemetery. The ship was laid down in 2016 for the GUGI. In 2018, the work ran into sanctions. The contract date for the delivery of the ship is the end of 2019.
