Poland will renovate old missile boats instead of building new corvettes

The Polish naval renewal program continues to stall. Due to a lack of funds, instead of building new ships, Warsaw is forced to resort to capital repairs of old ones. According to the Polish edition of Defense24, a decision was made to extend the service life of missile boats of the 660M Orkan project.

The Polish Ministry of Defense has decided to carry out a major overhaul of three existing fleet missile boats of the project 660M Orkan. Funds for repairs have already been found, work is planned to begin at the end of this year or early next.

According to the Polish portal, the main task of the repair is to extend the service life of the boats until 2038. At the same time, it is noted that the decision to extend the service of the boats means the end of the Murena program, which involves the purchase of six light missile ships of its own construction. Thus, the Polish fleet will retain three repaired old missile boats instead of six new missile corvettes built.

The repair itself will only affect the "restoration of the technical condition". Within its framework, it is planned to replace the power plant - a Soviet-made M520 diesel engine. All other modernization work, including the replacement of Soviet weapons, has been canceled. In particular, earlier the Poles wanted to replace the 76-mm AK-176M gun mount and the 30-mm AK-630 gun mount with the 57-mm BAE Systems Bofors Mk3 gun mount on boats, but there was no money for that.

All three boats of the 660M Orkan project were built in Poland in 1993-1995 on the basis of the corvette hulls of the project 151, which are being built for the GDR Navy. Poland bought the hulls and completed the missile boats, albeit without the missiles themselves. In 2008, the boats were modernized with the installation of Swedish anti-ship missiles RBS-15 on them. Each boat received four anti-ship missiles.

Apparently pshek pshesulski have just barely enough money ...))

The Ukrainians were upset, they licked their lips at these rusty tubs for a long time ... They hoped to get them out of the trash heap! Was not up to fat!

[krot]

The Poles in their comments are constantly trying to belittle us with the ships "rusty" .. And then they themselves are in the same puddle)))

[avg]

Yes, the logs on the "Admiral Tributs" were trampled to the full. It would be interesting to see how they would have turned around after the news about the boats.

Or just hands are growing out of the wrong place to build new corvettes.

All funds were thrown into the armament of the ground forces.
In military shipbuilding, they certainly know how to do something else.
For the USSR, at one time, the Polish People's Republic shipyards built:
BDK pr. 775 - 28 pcs.
SDK pr. 770 - 35 pcs.
SDK pr. 771 - 25 pcs.
SDK pr. 773 - 8 pcs.
Project 864 medium reconnaissance ships - 7 pcs
Ships of the measuring complex pr. 1128/1129 - 3 + 1 pcs
Floating workshops pr. 300 - 8 pcs.
Floating workshops pr. 301 - 2 pcs.
Floating workshops pr. 303 - 4 pcs.
Floating workshops pr. 304 - 28 pcs.
Hospital ship pr. 320 - 4 pcs
Expedited. oceanogr. ships pr. 850 - 11 pcs
Expedited. oceanogr. ships pr. 852 - 6 pcs
Project 887 training ships - 3 pcs
Project 620 boats - 40 pcs

So they built for the money of the Union, but there are not enough of our own for a lousy boat - the engine was changed, but the Soviet armament remained ...

of course, not for thanks
I'm talking about competencies, not money

[alex neym_2]

And what I'm talking about: there is no OLD BROTHER, giving orders, and knowledge will not help - the mattress makers have their own shipyards ... but the tidbit was to support the pants ...

[volodimer]

What we didn’t have enough capacity for, they built for us. It was.
And then Lech Walesa appeared and brought Polish shipbuilding to its current level with his trade union.
His twin brothers Gorbachev did no worse, except for shipbuilding and drove the country there.
I don’t want to say what happened to the Soviet-Ukrainian shipbuilding.
The Soviet-Russian still holds on somehow. And in comparison with the rest it looks better.
But in reality, after all, they could and could do a lot.

[Roman_vh]

This is not the hour the people who laughed at the Tributs? Like an old rusty trough. Although the photograph looked like a rusty trough exactly the Amez destroyer.

[To state]

So the factories where these ships were built are no longer there

[Barberry25]

and it was the Poles who recently giggled about Tributs ..

The maintenance of your own Navy is always and to this day is a very expensive pleasure, but Polish arrogance does not give an opportunity for this truth to break into the brains of Polish politicians and military leaders.

As long as Poland will be on the money sucker from the EU, like the USSR earlier, it will not understand and accept this truth. It's time to let Poland go free sailing. When will this finally happen?

By the way, Ukraine is somewhat similar in this respect to Poland. It also rages with a mighty fleet and long-distance ocean campaigns, almost drowning the remnants of its "fleet" off its coast last week.

[KCA]

They had no money, they lived on handouts from the gayrosoyuz, and the trough is closed, the program of financing Poland as a young member ends, so they are forced to save and scream loudly, give more money

[Keyser soze]

Financing program of Poland as a young member ends,

Fake. Nothing ends. Money for Poland for 2021-2027 - 63 billion euros. Separately, about 15 billion are spent on recovery from Covid and I do not know how much more for the Green Cross. This is gratuitous money.

The concept of a "young member" does not exist in EU programs.

Actually, the website of the European Commission will help you get out of the world of fabulous ... storytellers from tilivizor ... there are a lot of numbers ...

[Roman_vh]

And we are a host of your troubles, a young, old all-in-one member. Like? Yes, ktozh you angry Pinocchio

[Shket53]

Wow ... It seems like Pshekia is positioning itself as a pragmatic state ... that's just this pragmatism, something is not observed ... and even 63 billion euros from the EU ... yeah, those storytellers still sit in the EU , there on the EU website they are still not scribbling ... but you are lop-eared, just believe ...

[antivirus]

Berlin and Bursel hold them tenderly, hang in the air
what will happen without EU subsidies?
where are the American friends?
the navy not brothers also put in the last place - in the corner.

[alex neym_2]

Soon they will not have enough money for underpants, if the Gay Europeans don’t throw it in ...

[Mountain shooter]

We have not gone far from the "Svidomites", the fleet is an expensive thing. "Pinenza" ended unexpectedly ...
But how they threatened !!!

[Alex777]

They don't need corvettes. In vain they dug up the scythe.

[Pavel57]

For the carrier of the missile launcher, the platform is not so important. Especially in the Baltic.

What rockets are you talking about?

[Roman_vh]

About super duper rockets. Then there should be about the aircraft carriers of the Russian Federation and the uselessness of the Karakurt and other corvettes. And at the end, about the pensions of grandmothers.

At the same time, together with the Balts, they are making some plans for Kaliningrad, trying to pull the Germans up to this. And if the EU for obstinacy completely blocks the channel of subsidies to Poland, it may not even have enough money for repairs.

[tralflot1832]

The debts to the European Union must be repaid, this is sacred. Although the Poles, with loans from Europe, raised their GDP by 8 times, compared to 1991, and there is a miracle farm (the European Union has lowered them for the production of oil and gas production vessels, and what kind of ships they used to build, just pestnya, especially fishing, from "Poles" such as Leskov, to "Polubotinkov". A series of up to 100 ships), and they cannot build a military steamer.

[tTshka]

Ehhh, and after all, the horses hoped for a used update so much for the hike)))

[rocket757]

The Polish naval renewal program continues to stall.

No wonder ... Wishlist are expensive, but there are not enough babosiks anymore. Well, the "Polish economic miracle" is a merit ... and whose merit is it?

[cniza]

Uh-huh, they will now be tightly squeezed, for their Wishlist ...

[rocket757]

It is not so easy to squeeze them, because they have designated themselves in the vanguard, in the fight against "Mordor" ... that is, there is someone to support them! Moreover, those supporters, the gang is arrogant, noisy, shrill, without soap in ... they will fit, everywhere!
Who can drive them into the stall?

[cniza]

Their financial assistance was slowed down, and this is more than 30 billion euros ...

[rocket757]

They were just unlucky that everyone did not have enough money at all ...

[cniza]

It's not a matter of luck, but the fact that Poland annoys Europe ...

[rocket757]

It is clear that he pulls the blanket over himself, does not allow the Brussels bureaucracy to command everything and everyone.
But, at the moment, the "distribution of money" is unscheduled, urgent ... and they are not enough to satisfy everyone's wishes.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

In the future war of the West against Russia, Poland hopes that it will be able to take and snatch a large piece of land from Russia, Belarus and even Ukraine and for this does not want money for ground forces and the Air Force, and the battle at sea, in the opinion of the Poles, will be led by the United States. Britain and other NATO members.

5-6 corvettes will not give Poland anything, but hundreds of new Abrams and dozens of F-35s are a serious force.

[Normann]

Do you seriously think that someone in the leadership of the Republic of Poland thinks so?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Do you seriously think that someone in the leadership of the Republic of Poland thinks so?

And not only in the leadership of Poland. Poles for the most part sleep and see Poland within the borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Otherwise, why spend so much on the army ?! Poland has a lot of economic problems both in the energy sector and in production, the Poles themselves are migrating to the more developed countries of the EU and the United States.

There is where to spend billions of dollars, and without the F-35 and Abrams, Poland could easily have done.

Or do you really think that the Poles fear that Russia is about to attack NATO and its allies outside the bloc with a population of under a billion people and a peacetime military budget of under a trillion dollars ?!

There have not been suicides in the leadership of Russia in its entire history and now there are none.

Quite the opposite, these scavengers (the USA, Poland, Japan and a number of other states, even the Baltic countries) are waiting in the wings to attack Russia with their flock and tear it apart.

But this is at the end of the plan, but for now they will economically stifle, block, in general, do everything to slow down the development of Russia and reduce the birth rate in our country. They are striking in all directions from culture to defense and economy, while simultaneously building up their military potential.

And our task, as always, is to confront our "partners" and defend our country.

[Roman_vh]

And what will a hundred (hundreds is too much) of Abrashek and Ten Penguins give them? Confidence in the future? Oh, I am plagued by vague doubts.
