Ukrainian Navy to install American weapons on "Island" class boats

Ukrainian boats of the Island type, received from the United States in 2019, will be rearmed with American weapons systems that were dismantled during the transfer. This was reported by the "Ukrainian Militar Portal" with reference to sources in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the newspaper, the patrol boats P190 "Slavyansk" and P191 "Starobelsk" will receive "native" weapons, dismantled during the transfer of boats to Ukraine. Initially, the boats were equipped with an automatic 25-mm artillery mount Mk 38 Mod 0 Bushmaster and two M2 Browning machine guns of 12,7 mm caliber. When the re-equipment will be carried out and at whose expense, the publication does not report.

Currently, the boats are equipped with 25-mm Soviet automatic cannons M-110, earlier it was proposed to equip boats with SET-72 torpedoes with a caliber of 400 mm and 30-mm AK-306 artillery mounts. It is emphasized that this weapon is installed "temporarily".

At the same time, three new Island-class boats, scheduled for delivery this year, are due to arrive from the United States with US-made combat modules and ship systems installed. It is specified that the armament of the boats is coordinated with the command of the Naval Forces of Ukraine. Also, the Ukrainian media have repeatedly reported that the boats planned for transfer will be additionally equipped with short-range anti-ship missiles BGM-176B Griffin.

The command of the Ukrainian Navy is in favor of the unification of naval artillery systems, since the armament of ships of the Ukrainian fleet systems of Soviet and Western production negatively affects the defense capability.

And rightly, it is worthless for the owners to retrain for other weapons, and so they came and already everything of their own and at the expense of Ukraine. Whisper.

The main thing there is that the cannon fodder will be Ukrainian - it will be a pity even to spend the Ball with Bastion on these troughs! It will be necessary in Sevastopol to keep an eye on several bronze cannons firing stone cannonballs.

Yes, everything is there. It's just that the original gun has a good stabilized carriage, designed for its mass, and they screwed something in its place, of course, but it's hard to get out of it. In short, my resume - there is absolutely nothing to be happy about. This will increase their combat effectiveness. And there is nothing to shake "Iskander".

"Iskander" was frightened by the Ukrainian "Island", even his legs were shaking, just as the wolf was frightened by a hare when he saw a saucepan on his head.

[alexmach]

Yes, and not scared of course, but to spend even such a rocket as Uranus on such a trifle is somehow a pity, even though it seems to have been created for a trifle. And this mosquito fleet can still create problems, at least by diverting resources to track it.

And the boat turns ... and the boat turns ... into a "missile cruiser" of the Ukrainian Coast Guard. And at this time, in reality:
Yesterday, the government of Ukraine determined the fate of the missile cruiser Ukraine, which has been rusting at the dock for decades. Remove the remnants of weapons from him and put up for sale. If there are no people willing to buy, then recycle it. (Ukraine, "Korespondent net." 27.01.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX)

It has been under construction for five years, has been at the pier for 30 years. Who will buy it? If you can buy a newer one in the USA. They will drive on "nails", but they will not reach India, they will drown.
Let them bring them to Kiev and put them up as a monument (you can make a disco).

It took five years to build

The wiki says it's even sadder:

In the summer of 1984, construction of the ship began at the 61 Communards shipyard in Nikolaev by order of the USSR Navy.
On August 11, 1990, the cruiser was launched.
1 October 1993 year at 75% readiness the cruiser was withdrawn from the Russian Navy and became the property of Ukraine.
В 1994 gA crew was formed for the ship, but due to lack of funding, the completion of the cruiser was discontinued.
On February 17, 1998, then at the post of President of Ukraine L. D. Kuchma, decided to complete the cruiser, and the team was formed and disbanded for the second time, and the cruiser was completed by 95%.
In total, the team was formed and filmed three times.

Knowing full well that they would not even be able to begin the completion, they still dragged it into their property. "Don't eat it, I'll bite it!"

[tihonmarine]

Quote: Avis

Knowing full well that they would not even be able to begin the completion, they still dragged it into their property. "Don't eat it, I'll bite it!"

That's right, it was not possible to finish building, although 5% remained. Components came from hundreds of factories in the USSR, of which most simply disappeared. Russia, as a stronger state, was able to modernize and repair the Orlans, but Ukraine cannot do it (no offense is said).
Although the cruiser sucks, a lot of money is spent on its maintenance. So it is profitable for someone to keep "scrap metal" in the sludge. Disposal will also lead to high costs. There is only one way out - to sell to India for "nails", and the head will stop hurting.

[hydrox]

It will not be possible to dispose of: there is no fuel for gas cutters, and cutting with hacksaws is very long and tedious - even worse than digging out the World Cup!

[petrol cutter]

What is the problem with using "plasma" ?!
Electricity seems to be available.
Gas-cutting equipment nowadays - the stone age. And it is mainly used for straightening steel structures.
For example, I forgot the last time I held the gas cutter in my hands.

Norm. The boats should have what it was designed for when designing. No "collective farms" and priblud with other equipment and weapons.

This is the price that could be if they were not armed with American weapons.

Earlier, there was a training of possibilities, and two Island-type patrol boats were equipped with an offensive set of protection:

modernized artillery system AK-306
one-tube torpedo vehicle OTA-40

At the same time, the defense department has a budget for the modernization of both boats in the area of ​​up to UAH 130 million (for the current year it is close to USD 4,6 million).

BUT never again, Bandera Outskirts dare not even hope to start releasing them , in view of the complete loss of its scientific and industrial potential.

So, what's wrong?

Does it burn so badly that you have to write something about topics that you don't understand at all?
The b-37 gun was produced right before the war in Leningrad in the volume of 12 barrels.
In Kramatorsk, only cradles were made for them

The cradle with all the mechanisms of the swinging part for the first gun was made by Novokramatorsk Machine-Building Plant

Not tools.
And these guns ceased to be produced at the beginning of the war, and production was no longer restored.

in view of the complete loss of its scientific and industrial potential.

50 years before the emergence of Ukraine, this potential was lost. But you don't seem to care what nonsense you say.

When will the refurbishment be carried out and at whose expense

It is clear that in this case the Americans will not install anything for free. You will have to pay for weapons and work, and of course, purchase ammunition for these weapons. Here today at Skabeeva's program "Ukrainian tribune" Gordey boasted how many millions the United States would allocate to them, incl. and along the Pentagon line. Here is the money for the rearmament of the boats, the required amount will simply remain in the United States.

This is what I understand, they gave a masterful boost to Ukraine. The boats were given away for nothing, but they will take more than one price for operation.

Of course, they will not go to war against us, but they will be able to arrange some kind of provocation.

The United States will continue to pump up Ukraine with weapons and push for war.

We need to neutralize this threat:

- by economic measures, to do everything possible to reduce the income of Ukraine itself, to stop the transit of gas, oil and everything that brings money to the Maidan authorities, to put pressure on competition in the international market in all directions from grain to metals;

- strengthen your army and navy;

- to help all willing citizens of Ukraine to move to Russia on a permanent basis with obtaining citizenship under the accelerated program, we must give the opportunity to those who love Russia and feel part of it, to work for Russia, and not for the Bandera, nationalist government.

In general, the authorities in Russia are already doing all this, but there is no need to stop, it is necessary to increase the pace.

Money is not a problem, the United States will allocate as much money to Ukraine for weapons as necessary, they do not regret anything in order to harm Russia.

In addition, such "help" shows the Maidan authorities that they support them in all anti-Russian undertakings, which allows them to act insolent and meaner.

Well, yes, as long as they buy ammunition from the Yankees at exorbitant prices, ordinary people will scatter in all directions.

The Ukrainian ships in Sevastopol or those that were captured in the battle at the bridge were armed (maybe not counting the tug), and nothing came of it.

It is not the armament that decides, but the people - their spirit, openness and ability to sacrifice.
Apparently, no one wants to even try to fight for an independent Ukraine when a conflict situation arises. This is not a murder of defenseless neighbors, as in Volyn.
So to arm these boats is an empty gesture. And so they will surrender without a fight when it comes to conflict.
