The Polish Navy will receive three promising frigates of its own construction

In the future, the Polish naval forces will be armed with three new frigates of their own construction. According to the Polish Ministry of Defense, a contract for the construction of three ships has already been signed.

The Polish military department and the PGZ-Miecznik consortium have signed a contract for the supply of three multipurpose frigates to the Republic's Navy under the Miecznik program ("Mechnik"). The documents were signed on July 27 in Gdynia, the agreement was signed by the Minister of Defense of Poland Mariusz Blaszczak.

The construction of the ships will be carried out by a consortium specially created for this purpose, which includes the PGZ Stocznia Wojenna shipyard, as well as the Gdansk private shipyard Remontowa Shipbuilding SA. However, at the moment, the consortium does not even have a project on which frigates will be built. It is assumed that by November this year one of the three proposed foreign projects will be selected, according to which its own will be developed. At the same time, the Polish Ministry of Defense requires that the first ship be launched in four years.

According to reports, Poland was offered the Arrowhead 140 project from the British group Babcock, on the basis of which the Type 31 frigates were developed, the project from the Spanish Navantia frigate F110 or the Avante corvette and the project of the German association thyssenkrupp Marine Systems based on the MEKO A200 or A300.

It is planned that in the future, the built frigates will replace two frigates of the "Oliver Hazard Perry" class, acquired in the early 2000s from the United States in the Polish Navy.

On the intention to build a series of new ships for the Polish fleet became known back in 2018. It was originally planned to build three corvettes, but then the decision was changed to frigates. It was stated that the frigates would not only increase Poland's defenses, but also raise the prestige of Warsaw in the international arena.

But

the Ministry of Defense of Poland demands that the first ship be launched in four years.

They're funny ...

MEKO200, if only, is the simplest, and then there are big doubts that they will be in time in these terms ...

[donavi49]

Of the unambiguously named MEKOs, he is the most alive. Right now, 5 frigates for Egypt and an additional 2 for Algeria are being made.

Type-31 / Arrowhead - does not exist yet. There, even the British have not yet cut steel.

Alvars are excellent ships, one of the strongest in Europe (together with 7 Provinces and French FREMM), however they were built almost 15-20 years ago. Now they are trying to build a new frigate, but things are not going very well there. It is possible that it will come out as with a submarine .

Avanto is a typical Papuan show-off ship. To inspire with a view and everything is modern. But that's not what Poland wants. They already have one such amusing ship - Slazak or whatever it is, well, which they have been building for 15 years.

Proven technology. Fast and on time.
Danish Iver Huitfeldt is also a good option. Seaworthy, inexpensive, under-equipped, true for such a size, but this is a personal matter ...

[tlauicol]

beautiful ships built for the Algerians but the Poles will not pull, they could not overpower the corvette properly

[Denis812]

pull because in fact they will not build. They will twist the nuts between the sections supplied to them and solemnly cut the ribbon during the descent.
More than the Polish government itself, the Polish shipbuilders are unlikely to entrust anything.

That's for sure )))

From Polish there will be only a screwdriver assembly of foreign blocks)))

The Poles have everything as usual. The cart is in front of the horse.

Ha, in vain they were to themselves, perhaps they dragged the Nikolaev shipbuilders onto strawberries ...

"In four years, there will be a garden city here ..." True, it is not yet known on the basis of which project they will make "their own", who will do it, what tasks, besides "raising the prestige of Warsaw at the international level," these tubers will perform, but pride is already falling out of his pants. Psheki, what can you say ...

[URAL72]

"It is planned that in the future, the built frigates will replace two frigates of the Oliver Hazard Perry class, acquired in the early 2000s from the United States, in the Polish Navy."

Pride is nothing - babosiks - everything! They can't afford old American people. I am sure that they will build ships (the former Nikolaev shipbuilders have to work somewhere), but the weapons, incl. electronic will be put even 20 years later. There is no money for everything at once - they are already on their way to the Abrams.

[Graz]

so they wanted to buy another F-35. patriots. branch
they want a lot. but in the end, they get little from the wishlist

[knn54]

Corvette Silesian "was built for more than 15 years. And here a frigate for 4 years.

[rotmistr60]

will not only increase the defense capability of Poland, but also raise the prestige of Warsaw in the international arena

And what worries more - defense capability or international authority?

Would worry about defenses, ordered two or three frigates of the De Zeven Provincien class, and nothing needs to be invented.
And they are more worried about, however, as always, political chatter ...

[APASUS]

Some kind of vinaigrette.

According to the Polish Ministry of Defense, the contract for the construction of three ships has already been signed.

and then just below:

at the moment the consortium does not even have a project,

What they signed then, usually, first the project needs to be calculated and then only the contract for the amount.
For the Poles, the opposite is true.

Where are they going to build? The Gdynia (named after Lenin) and Szczecin shipyards have already become history. Their property was sold, workers were laid off (about 50 thousand people), the territory was cleared. Together with the factories, the question arose of the further existence of the social and educational sphere. One of them will be producing wind power towers, the other will be producing steel structures. But not ships! In Soviet times, about 30 units of the fleet were built there. They have now lost 80% of their actual shipbuilding capacity. There they built floating bases B-64 and B-69, on which the entire MRH of the USSR worked, they established the production of sailing training ships, "Druzhba", "Mir" and others, and how many fishing vessels and bulk carriers were produced by these factories. And now there is only Stocznia Północna left, which mainly built warships for the fleets of Poland, the USSR, as well as super trawlers for the USSR, now it can build small fishing vessels and tugs. And most importantly, the personnel of shipbuilders left. So these remnants of the former shipbuilding industry simply cannot build frigates.

[Ros 56]

And the cost will be Bandera migrants.

[Constanty]

When the contract to build the corvette was signed in Poland, it took 17 years to build, cost the same as a frigate, and an unarmed patrol ship was launched.
Therefore, I doubt the success of these plans until they build it.

... They will receive, they will receive .... whenever, however.
Their business, we have them pf-e.

[alch3mist]

They will receive, they will receive .... someday, somehow.

The main thing is that they have the sea coast by this time.

[rocket757]

Such global cataclysms, by themselves, will not be born ... it is necessary to try very hard to cover yourself up to the size of a Warsaw parish again.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Since 2001, Poland has been building corvettes of the project 621 "Grach". According to the plan, they wanted to make 7 pieces, but by 2016 they mastered only one and then as a patrol ship.

Let's see how to deal with frigates now.

[petrol cutter]

Congratulations to the Polish shipbuilding industry.
As our director said today, no one needs our SZ.
Therefore, we are in full ...
And it's time to look for covens.
So much for your mother Russia. Here's your grandmother and St. George's Day ...
Is this-for this fought?
That's what we ran into.
