And what will happen on the corvette of the project 58250, or We ourselves "з Vusami"
Not so long ago, the site raised the question of what can be installed on the French UDC of the Mistral type.
Not dividing the “dead cat” among themselves, the two sides did the following: Russia decided to build large ships not on the territory of Ukraine, and Ukraine refused to buy Russian weapons for Ukrainian corvettes.
As a result of mutual political insults - a violation of logistics is simply “HIDDEN”. But in this case, political ambitions are stronger than economic dividends.
Whatever it was, but the construction of the lead ship from this series under the name "Vladimir the Great" is even ahead of schedule. The deadlines are shifted from spring 2015-th to autumn 2014 year.
At the beginning of the project, the 50 / 50 was planned, where half is the body, the refrigeration units, the power plant and a part of the navigation equipment will be Ukrainian-made, and we will buy everything that is not enough. But it turned out that the Ukrainian scientific school can provide domestic radio electronic and radar equipment. It is neither better nor worse — it is its own. As a result, the share of imported components has decreased to the proportion of 60 / 40 a and is approaching 70 / 30.
So what will stand on the corvette? Let's start with the Ukrainian samples:
Multi-purpose shipborne radar target designation complex MORENA;
Optical-radar station “Protazan-K” - Medium-caliber artillery shooting control system;
Multifunctional radar "Phoenix-U";
Optic-electronic station of circular review "Selena" - to control and monitor the location of the ship;
AP "VZOI-VZOR" - a system of mutual exchange of information and mutual orientation of the tactical group;
"Positive-1U" radar general detection of air and surface targets;
ORLS "Kopye-K" - to control small caliber artillery mounts;
Optic-electronic Saiga take-off and landing station;
Radio intelligence complex "Button";
Hydroacoustic complex "Zarnitsa";
The control system of the remote-controlled underwater vehicle - "KNPA-58250".
6-barreled ZFU "Hephaestus" mm 12,7 - 2 pcs.
The ASTER-15 air defense system was proposed to be replaced by the Dnepr complex.
The import component came into service. Ukraine itself did not produce ship weapon. Developing your own similar complexes for a small lot is economically unprofitable. The process of creating the project fell on a difficult period in the relations between Russia and Ukraine, and it was not possible to agree on the supply of Russian analogues, so we had to order from the Germans, Italians and the French. As a result, we have such a “soup set”:
PCR Exocet - 8 pcs.
Torpedo tubes В515 -2 by 3 pcs.
Artwork 76 / 62 Super Rapid - 1 pcs.
Art. Millennium, 35- mm Naval Gun System - 2 pcs.
Active Mass Protection System - 2 pcs.
It was originally planned to use the NH90 helicopter, but in connection with the development of a new helicopter based on the Mi-2, the purchase of an Italian-French car is unknown.
The biggest embarrassment is the price. The cost of the lead ship is estimated at 312 million euros, and the cost of subsequent 258 million euros. For comparison, the Turkish corvettes of the MILGEM project have a similar armament complex, but a slightly smaller displacement costs 260 million.
What kind of export can we talk about?
