United States to supply Ukraine with six patrol boats ... totaling $ 600 million

Now it is clear with what they were going to block and then destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which some ardent Ukrainian politicians were loudly shouting about. And the Americans will provide 600 million as a loan at interest?

"The United States will supply Ukraine with six Mark VI patrol boats, with the option of delivering two more by 2025." (c) Six boats have already been decommissioned, two will be decommissioned by 2025. The bourgeois is the bourgeois. He will definitely find a way to push his garbage for good money to some idiot.

Yes, really ... the appearance of even six such boats in the Sea of ​​Azov may raise hopes for revenge among some hot heads in Ukraine ... Russia should deploy another squadron of combat helicopters in the region ... and regiment. Since the UDC under construction, it is still necessary to equip with an aviation group.
