Ukroboronprom signed a contract for the construction of boats with the British company Babcock

59

Ukraine has finally signed an agreement on cooperation with Britain in the field of increasing its naval potential. The contract for the construction of boats was concluded between Ukroboronprom and the British company Babcock.

The agreement between the British shipbuilding company Babcock and Ukroboronprom is a continuation of two memorandums signed by the parties in June this year aboard the British destroyer D36 Defender, which entered the port of Odessa. Cooperation will be carried out within the framework of the Program for Enhancing the Naval Potential of Ukraine (UNCEP).



Babcock will spearhead the program for the construction and modernization of Ukrainian Navy ships, in particular, the construction of missile boats, and allegedly corvettes. The previously signed memorandum also spoke about the restoration and reconstruction of shipbuilding enterprises in Ukraine and the construction of naval bases for the Ukrainian fleet, but there is no direct mention of this in the publications of the Ukrainian media.

Earlier it was reported that Britain, within the framework of cooperation with Ukraine, would build eight missile boats, transfer two minesweepers and help in the construction of two naval bases for the Ukrainian Navy, one each in the Black and Azov Seas.

For the implementation of all projects, London will issue a loan to Kiev. The British Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD) will be attracted to finance the needs of the IMSU. The amount allocated by London is equal to 1,25 billion pounds sterling (1,6 billion dollars) and is issued for a period of 10 years.

      Well, what are the citizens of Ukraine? How do you like your new "friends" from the West?
      They do not build factories for you, like a scoop you hate, but with their loans they will build boats for you, but you will have to give money!

      - it was also said about the restoration and reconstruction of shipbuilding enterprises in Ukraine
      But why?
      -EU has OFFICIALLY declared that it is against the revival of mechanical engineering in Ukraine.
      -Why does the authorities need a headache, when it is possible (the treasury of Ukraine has long been "their wallet") just to saw, without hesitation.
      THIS is no longer THEIR country-money, real estate beyond the "hillock" (a hillock-hill located on the border). Their children study, give birth and often work there.

    Which Ukraine will be obliged to return with%. At the same time, the money will remain in London, besides, English workers will be in business, unlike Ukrainian ones.

      Actually, these are really two big differences. We are ordering icebreakers in Finland and ordering something in South Korea, and all this did not prevent the Russian Federation from reaching second place in the world in terms of the tonnage of laid ships last year. Unlike ukraine, where launching any trough is peremoga. The Russian Federation lacks its own shipyards ... What to do? It takes 5-7 years to build a new shipyard, and this is at best. So, to refuse for this time from the laying of the vessels necessary for the Russian Federation or what?

          According to your logic, it may be so, in the Russian Federation the logic is different - ships carrying Russian gas, fishing for biological resources in their own waters, should be built at Russian shipyards. These ships, and they are also busy updating the Navy. And the secondary directions can be entrusted to foreign ones, at least while our own new shipyards are being built and the old ones are expanding. As for cars, how many brands do we have (cars)? Lada, Niva, UAZ? And how many foreign ones? Even those that are produced on the territory of the Russian Federation with a localization of 70 - 80%? Will there be enough fingers and toes to count? So Russian brands are lost in the stream of Russian foreign cars. Or do you think that only Skoda should go in the Czech Republic and only Seatas in Spain? With such a level of consciousness, you are just in Ukraine - there you will at least get to the Rada. And if you are not lucky, you will become a minister.

      Yes, yes. Do you know why? Because the traditional Soviet and Russian builder of ships with nuclear power plants does not have the physical ability to build the first two hulls of the floating power plant in the required time frame - all of its capacities are occupied by the program for the construction of four ALED LK-60s.
      But the third and fourth buildings will already be his. As well as the installation of equipment in Chinese buildings.

      When Ukraine has to order boats abroad due to the fact that its factories are tightly occupied with the construction of corvettes - then we will compare. smile

    As always, sly information from the British, hiding the truth of their plans. Under the guise of reconstruction of shipbuilding enterprises in Ukraine, they are fulfilling their strategic plans. The bottom line is this - to bypass the Montreux memorandum, for itself and, naturally, NATO on the presence of military ships in the Black Sea on a permanent basis. Ukraine was forced to pass a law on the sale of land to foreign buyers. Immediately after the approval of this law by the Rada, the British offered Ukraine
    build them boats on their territory. To do this, the British are buying part of the land for their shipyard, on which these boats will be built. This land will become the property of England (area is not important). This means that it will become part of the countries included in the Black Sea basin, and the restrictions of the memorandum will not apply to it. This idea of ​​the British was realized immediately after Zelensky's visit to England (MI6 director, Richard Moore), after which he immediately went to see Erdogan, who supported the British idea, since he himself was already working for them. Here, Erdogan gave the go-ahead for the sale of 6 Bairakbar to Ukraine, the organization of their production in Ukraine on their engines, and the construction of 2 corvettes.
    All these issues were resolved in England, and one should not believe in Erdogan's "super independence". He has long been under the control of MI6.

      Plus for your courage from me. Hold on, they will spit on you now, for such "anti-Russian comparisons."

      And there is nothing to spit. The Chinese were given only the hulls of the floating nuclear power plant and only the first two - because the Baltzavod, which is specialized on the topic of the surface atom and the floating nuclear power plant, is now simultaneously building 4 nuclear icebreakers, project 22220, and in the future it may receive an order for two more. So the Balts got the equipment of the Chinese buildings and the construction of the third and fourth floating power plants.

      Moreover, Rosatom directly stated that they placed an order in China only for the first two buildings and only because of the full workload of domestic plants.
      Now with regard to the shipyard: unfortunately, we see that none of the companies that are able to manufacture MPEB hulls can do this in Russia today due to their current production workload. Therefore, Atomenergomash will place orders for the first two buildings abroad to ensure tight delivery times. This, I emphasize, is only about the production of cases, because we will make everything else here.

      Our plan is as follows: the MPEB body will be produced abroad, towed to Russia, where everything else will be installed on it - the power part (reactor plant, turbine) and so on. Then, complex mooring tests will be carried out, fuel loading, checking of work first in cold, then in hot - and starting the power system. After that, we will hand over the FPU to the customer at the place of permanent operation.

      judging by the picture provided by Babcock, these boats are slightly larger than the boats. This is an old Australian Protector-class offshore patrol vessel. the helicopter has been replaced by 8 proto-ship NSMs plus some kind of figurine at the stern. 8 for 8 boats - 64 NSM. with zero air defense. actually a shock with zero protection. who are going to attack? and how will it be covered from the air?

        Ekkak you have applied the goalkeeper. By the way, it will probably be replaced by the 35mm Oerlikon Milenium as on the corvettes of Hell purchased for the Ukrainian Navy. For keeping two new calibers in one niche is too much even for Ukraine.

        who are going to attack?


        Vorogov, of course. Who else?

        how will it be covered from the air?


        Slightly worse than Buyan-M and even better than the first 2 Karakuts, again Oerlikon Milenium drags programmable shells.

        Again, the main thing, like Buyans and Karakuts, is work from under ground air defense and dagger exits to launch, with a quick escape back.

        NSM


        It is not yet clear what will happen. NSM is an excellent and probably the most evil rocket. The options are Harpoon (again, unification with Ada) or Neptune (well, here is the best option for Russia, because until they finish it, until they finish it, until they put it, the 30s will already come).
