DVKD type "Mistral": news, disputes and the upcoming transfer of the ship "Vladivostok"

164
Last Monday, new reports appeared on the future of the Russian-French contract for the construction of two amphibious helicopter-carrying dock ships (MKDD) of the Mistral type. In recent months, this contract has been the subject of controversy and various statements by the leadership of some foreign countries. According to existing plans, in the near future the first of the ordered ships should be transferred to Russia, which has a serious impact on the current situation and the opinions of the parties.



October 27 news agency RIA News with reference to an unnamed representative of the trade union of the shipbuilding company STX, published the news about the future of the first "Mistral" for Russia. According to the source agency, the ceremony of transferring the first ship, named Vladivostok, is tentatively scheduled for November 14. This date has not yet been officially approved, but union officials are preparing to hold all the necessary events on this very day. Thus, the transfer of the first ordered ship can be considered a matter of the next few weeks.

On Monday, the Euronaval 2014 exhibition opened in Le Bourget, France, as part of which delegations from many countries can familiarize themselves with the latest achievements of the world's leading defense enterprises. On the opening day of the exhibition, the head of the Russian delegation, the deputy head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), Anatoly Punchuk, made several statements about the current contract for the supply of amphibious ships.

According to A. Punchuk, all contractual obligations are fulfilled by the parties in full and in accordance with the established schedule. According to RIA Novosti, the FSVTS deputy director said that the Vladivostok ship should be part of the naval fleet Russia until the end of 2014. After that, the Severnaya Verf shipyard (St. Petersburg) will begin to install various weapons and equipment of Russian manufacture on the ship. All necessary work is planned to be completed by mid-2015.

In recent months, amid the aggravation of the situation in the international arena, it has been repeatedly suggested that France would refuse to transfer the ordered landing craft to Russia. It has been suggested that two Mistral-type ships could be transferred to some third country. A. Punchuk believes that the issue of the transfer of ships to a third country seems premature.

The new French-made MKDDD type is supposed to be equipped with various types of equipment. In particular, two ships will be able to carry attack helicopters Ka-52K. A. Punchuk said that now Russian aircraft manufacturers are assembling four experienced helicopters of this type. Tests of these machines are scheduled for next year. All work on the ship modification of the attack helicopter is planned to be completed before the end of 2015. In the future, the Ka-52K helicopter will go into series and will be used as a means of assault fire support.

On Monday evening, RIA Novosti published the words of an unnamed representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia. The diplomat noted the legal simplicity of the situation around the amphibious ships that has developed in recent months. In addition, he believes that the information fuss about the existing contract directly speaks about the interests of official Paris: the French leadership is interested in the successful completion of the contract more than Russia.

Information published last Monday is cause for optimism. The STX trade union is preparing for the first ship delivery ceremony for the Russian Navy, and the leadership of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation notes the timely fulfillment of all contractual obligations. Thus, there is every reason to believe that the Vladivostok DVKD will indeed be handed over to the Russian fleet in the very near future.

A bilateral agreement between Russia and France, involving the construction of two amphibious ships, before the start of this year was a matter of only two parties - the customer and the contractor. A few months ago, this agreement was the occasion for events in the international arena in which the leaders of the United States took part.

Against the background of the Ukrainian crisis, official Washington turned to France with a demand to stop the fulfillment of the Russian order. Similar requests from the American leadership put Paris in a difficult position. The French leadership wants to maintain good relations both with the United States and with Russia, however, the continuation of work and the transfer of ships or the termination of the contract threatens him with serious political and economic consequences.

Ignoring Washington’s demands threatens France with serious consequences. This can be either a general deterioration in relations with one of the main partners, or a reduction in cooperation in the military-technical or economic sphere. It is unlikely that President Francois Hollande and his team are ready to take such risks and quarrel with American partners.

Complying with American requirements will also have serious consequences. Over the past months in numerous discussions formed a list of consequences for France. The most painful of them will be financial in nature. The construction of two amphibious ships costs about 1,2 a billion euros, and most of this amount has already been paid by the customer. In the event of a breach of contract, French shipbuilders will have to return the money paid to Russia.

According to some reports, the contract for the construction of ships provides for penalties for failure to fulfill obligations. Thus, France will have to not only return the money already transferred for the construction of ships, but also pay a penalty. Its size, according to various estimates, can reach several billion euros.

A contract break will have serious social consequences. The Russian order allowed STX to create several hundred new jobs. If the construction of ships is stopped, the company will have to lay off a large number of workers, which may be the reason for protests and other public reaction.

Another risk for France is associated with reputation. If the country's leadership is ready to terminate contracts for the supply of weapons and military equipment at the request of a third party, then this state can hardly be considered a reliable supplier. Thus, in the event of termination of the contract for the supply of Mistral, STX risks losing future orders from some foreign countries. Similar problems may begin with other French manufacturers of weapons and equipment.

Finally, there is a specific technological issue. In accordance with the terms of the contract, the aft sections of the hulls of two Mistral-type ships should be built in Russia, at the St. Petersburg Baltic Plant. In the event of a breach of contract, Russia may demand the return of these structures, which, in particular, will not allow French shipbuilders to sell "incomplete" ships to a third party. It will be necessary to complete the missing units or dispose of the remaining parts of the ships.

Official Paris is well aware of the complexity of the current situation, which is why from time to time there are corresponding statements. For example, not so long ago, in early September, French President F. Hollande said that the current international situation does not allow the transfer of ships to the customer. A little later, the press service of the French president clarified the statement of Hollande. It was noted that the contract will not be broken, but the French side will have to take into account the current political situation.

All previous and subsequent statements by the French leaders about the fate of the landing ships ordered by Russia directly indicate that F. Hollande and his colleagues are trying to maintain good relations with both Washington and Moscow, and therefore are not in a hurry with making and announcing the final decision. In other words, not wanting to quarrel with foreign partners, Paris is forced to waste time by all available means.

Earlier it was reported that the first Mistral type DVKD should be transferred to Russia in early November. The planned deadlines for the transfer of the Vladivostok ship are inexorably approaching, which is why, in particular, the STX trade union is preparing for the solemn ceremony planned for mid-November. At the same time, the French leadership is in a difficult position. In the shortest possible time, he needs to make a decision that will have the least serious and painful consequences. What will be this decision - will be known in the very near future.

      Under the terms of the contract, the deadline for the first ship is November 1, 2014, however, by agreement of the parties, it can be moved another 30 days without penalties.

        Question: With what smiling joy does the President of the country steer commercial transactions? And even those that he himself did not conclude? Did the French themselves (to make the Americans itch less) said that the Mistrals were not military ships? Let the sub-state structures decide everything themselves.

            The first helicopter carrier Mistral Russia will receive 14 on November, said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. According to him, the delegation of Rosoboronexport received an invitation on November 14 to arrive in Saint-Nazaire, where there are already 360 Russian crew sailors and 60 instructors for training new crews, for transferring the first Vladivostok ship and for launching the second ship.

              "A few weeks ago, President Hollande said that the ceasefire and the Minsk agreements must be fully respected in Ukraine in order for France to continue the process of handing over the first Mistral-class helicopter carrier to Russia," she said.
              “We continue to believe that his words and this decision were wise. So we, of course, support this (Hollande’s position),” said Psaki in response to a request from journalists to comment on the statement by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin that the Russian side received an invitation to arrive in France on November 14 to hand over the first Mistral-class ship to Russia.

          Ie on all other points of objection no?
          Do you think the Russians are dumb?


          ps.
          probably you refer to the same stupid and B. Barants?
          - And what did military imports look like during the Soviet era? What exactly and from whom was bought for our army abroad?
          - In general, the USSR strove for the highest possible level of military-industrial self-sufficiency. The Soviet Union was a big economy and could afford it. In addition, in conditions of sharp confrontation with the West, the USSR, of course, could not allow the emergence of dependence on the capitalist countries in equipping the Soviet army.
          However, even in Soviet times, for political and technological reasons, purchases of weapons, equipment and individual components abroad were allowed, including even in capitalist countries. It was for political reasons - to stimulate the Czechoslovak economy - it was decided to give the production of training aircraft to this country. And some non-critical technologies were cheaper and faster to buy abroad than to establish their own production.

          - And what was the situation with military imports during the Cold War?
          - In the early sixties, a political decision was made to produce training aircraft for the Warsaw Pact countries in Czechoslovakia, although the Soviet aircraft industry, of course, could produce such simple aircraft itself. Until now, the basis of the training aircraft fleet of Russia and the CIS countries is the Czech L-39 training center. In Poland, the Soviet Navy bought large landing ships. Cases of more exotic purchases can also be cited. For example, at the beginning of the 80-s, three-meter diameter Bridgestone tires were purchased in Japan for the MAZ-7904 transport and launcher of the Tselina mobile missile system, since the Soviet industry did not produce such a tire size. Moreover, it was just a purchase for direct use, and not for copying. And in the chemical fire extinguishing system of the Komsomolets nuclear submarine, Japanese freon was used. So even such a closed country as the USSR was forced to import certain elements for its Armed Forces.
          Why Russia is forced to buy imported weapons.


          How can overseas military equipment affect the state of our army?

              The development of the country required the creation of a large cable vessel (BKBS) for the development of a system of long submarine communication lines. This ship, project 1112, was designed at the end of the 50-s at the Vyartsilya shipyard in accordance with the technical specifications of the USSR Navy and under the supervision of its specialists. The lead ship was built in 1962 year.

              In total, until 1978, 8 large cable vessels were built at this shipyard. Moreover, the last three had an increased load capacity already in 2800 tons of cable and a slightly larger displacement

              And here is a series of towing ships built for the USSR in Finland.

              All of them were built, as I understand it, in 1959. Apparently, a total of 14 ships were built, some of them were part of the USSR Navy. They were built at the Valmet O / Y shipyard in Turku. Their tonnage was 1069 BRT each, length - 61,5 meters, width - 11,9 m, draft - 4,9 m, tugboats could reach speeds of up to 13,8 knots.

          "Did the USSR buy ships abroad?"

          Yes, I bought it. Before the war, the Union acquired the unfinished German cruiser Luttsov (Petropavlovsk) and the leader of the destroyers Tashkent, built in Italy according to the original design.
          Something else? Yes.

          For example, MAN ordered twenty ship diesel engines of the type G7Z52 / 70 with power 2200 hp. and type G7V74 power 1500 hp Also for the fleet samples of propeller shafts, steering gears, ship anti-fouling paints, 406-mm and 280-mm ship-mounted towers, bomb-bombs, sonar equipment were purchased ...

          You do not need to have a “seven heads in the forehead” to understand the obvious thing - in the pre-war years, the Soviet Union bought TECHNOLOGIES
          Everything else he did himself.

          With the beginning of the Cold War, the situation took an even tougher turn - in direct confrontation with the Euro-Atlantic civilization, the Union could rely only on itself. It’s just ridiculous to imagine an atomic submarine missile carrier for the Soviet Navy being built somewhere in the British Glasgow or in the American Philadelphia.

          And the Union managed! Restoring the economy and industry after a terrible war, the USSR rolled out to the expanses of the World Ocean SUCH FLEET in 1960-s, from which both halves of the Earth trembled - in time with the submarine rocket carriers swaying around the piers in Gremikha and Krasheninnikov Bay.

          It would be nice to steal ready-made technologies in the West, but that's bad luck, there was nothing to steal - what the USSR was doing often had no analogues in the world. "

          The practice of buying Russian warships abroad began in the days of
          Peter I: in 1693, the king ordered the Amsterdam burgomaster, the owner of the shipyard
          Nikolai Witsen is building the 44 cannon frigate and galley. Until 1917 year
          Russia bought or ordered (mainly in Holland, England and the USA) several hundred
          ships. For example, overseas
          Russian-Japanese war cruisers "Varyag" (manufactured at the American shipyard
          William Cramp & Sons) and Bayan (built by the French company Societe Nouvelle
          des Forges et Chantiers de la Mediterranee).

          This practice continued after the 1917 revolution of the year. In particular, in 1937-1939
          years commissioned by the USSR in Italy at the Odero shipyard. Terni. Orlando was
          the leader of the destroyers "Tashkent" was built, which was considered one of the best
          30's shipbuilding designs. In the 1940 year of the USSR for 104 million Reichsmarks
          bought from Germany an unfinished heavy cruiser Lutzow. He was transported to

          During the Second World War, the USSR and the United States received Britain under Lend-Lease and at the expense of
          reparations of more than six hundred ships - including the battleship Royal Sovereign
          ("Arkhangelsk") and the cruiser Milwaukee ("Murmansk").

          After the war, the USSR no longer turned to NATO countries for the purpose of acquiring ships.
          But the Soviet Navy actively worked shipyards of the Warsaw Pact states,
          above all Poland. Here in Gdansk, a few dozen were built for the USSR
          medium landing ships (projects 770, 771, 773) and 28 large landing
          ships of the project 775, 15 of which are still serving in the Russian Navy. AT
          The German Democratic Republic for the Navy of the USSR in 1986-90 years built
          a series of 12 small anti-submarine ships of the 1331M project (eight of them
          remain in the Russian fleet).

          When was the USSR buying military equipment from the bourgeois?

          I bought it. And not just among the bourgeoisie, but among the black-shirt fascists - the leader "Tashkent" and 2 border patrolmen. They bought "Luttsov" - "Petropavlovsk" from the Nazis.
          For him, by the way, Limes should be extremely grateful to us - Soviet orders were carried out by the Germans in the first place, even at the cost of delaying orders for their ships. As a result, the LK "Bismarck" launched its first and last military campaign without 2 aft stabilized antiaircraft artillery guidance posts - instead of them, army commando-gerata were stuck without any stabilization. And the English torpers successfully entered the LK just in the aft sectors ...

          In addition, practically all large ships of the pre-war fleet of the USSR - EM pr. 7 and KRL pr. 26 - were designed on the basis of blueprints for serial Italian ships purchased from the Ansaldo design bureau. Moreover, Italian components were used for the lead ships. When in 1936 our design bureaus came to a standstill with the project of the "large LK" (the future LK "Sovetsky Soyuz"), the preliminary design of the LK was ordered to the same "Ansaldo".
          In terms of components: turbines were purchased in Britain for a dozen of EM pr. 7. The turbines at the head LK Sovetsky Soyuz were purchased from Brown-Boveri. For the KRL Black Sea Fleet in Italy, they bought 100-mm twin anti-aircraft guns.

          The army also bought over the hill - for example, ordered large-caliber guns from Skoda.

          Giulio Cesare ("Novorossiysk") was the victim of combat swimmers of the 10th squadron of the Italian fleet due to the gross violation of the rules for the protection and defense of the Sevastopol GVMB. If the tug closed the boom gates for the night, and the OVR boats made night rounds of the anchorage sites of rank 1 ships (the Novorossiysk was on the first cruising barrels), then unnoticed at least 200 kg of explosives would be thrown through the boom net and a mine under the battleship bottom would have been thrown unnoticed impossible.

          This is not a ship or even a barge or even a trough, it is a floating, non-missile target, after falling into which it turns into a mass grave.

          I’ll probably repeat it for the hundredth time — at present, anti-ship anti-ship missile systems have such accuracy that they can fly into the window, therefore, electronic warfare means are in the first place, and the struggle for survivability, there are examples when two ships of the same type received a rocket one could not organize a normal BZZH, which caused death.

          Buy a ship, a floating barge conveyor to it, find a coast where there is no enemy, or command the enemy not to shoot while you land, lay wire asphalt, lights, roadside cafes to them (suddenly a soldier gets hungry!). He has a draft of 6.3, more than that of a tanker, even shipping in the coastal zone is in question.

          there is a clear ignorance of the issue.
          the points
          -Buy a ship, a floating barge conveyor to it
          Established amphibious assault landing gear of the French Mistral class DVKD:
          4 CTM landing craft (Chaland de Transported Materiel),
          or 2 LCAC-type hovercraft.

          that is, he does not need to approach the shore, he can and should be as far from the shore as possible

          -Put wire asphalt, lights, roadside cafes to them (suddenly a soldier gets hungry!).
          2 hovercraft

          or 4 CTM landing craft -
          CTM type boats have a length of 23 m and a width of 6,3 m. For the first Russian DVKD of this class - Vladivostok - in France by October 2014 of the year 4 boats CTM NG (Chaland de Transported Materiel de Nouvelle Generation) should be built. Unlike their predecessors (CTM), boats of the CTM NG type have a length of 27 m and a width of 7 m, they are equipped with two ramps for landing: bow and stern, which gives them more room for maneuvering. Boats of the CTM NG type will be better suited to operations in conditions of strong pitching, and their speed will be up to 20 knots (2 times higher than that of CTM).

If we have a region where we want to shine "in shine and roar" then we send such a ship there. He carries both marines with the means of landing and a helicopter link, and in which case he can coordinate the actions of the ship's group sent for reinforcement. Yes, this is not a ship to storm the fortified coast. And the video proves it once again. We have a large landing craft for the assault.

        2. About the target. He will be guarded by IA, air defense systems of the OBK ships, then he has (will) and his own electronic warfare systems, self-defense air defense systems. During the landing, the area is cleared of submarines by the forces of anti-aircraft defense and the special mission of the landing area. Prior to this, RV and fleet forces operate at basing points. To hide the intentions, a false and demonstrative DesO is organized, with the aim of diverting the enemy's forces into false directions. Everything is being done so that the first wave of landing is swift! landed ashore, captured and held the landing site. For this, there are landing and landing equipment, but the main thing is helicopters: military transport and fire support. And the ships to the shore are cleared by PLO, PMO, OKOP (fire support detachment) ships, etc., according to the views of our school. At the same time: the landing operation is considered the most complex type of database in the organization of the interaction of forces, arms and types of armed forces of the Russian Federation. Because in the interests of the fleet during this period even the Strategic Missile Forces and the DA operate. But the Air Force just goes crazy, since it is necessary to cover the area of ​​DesO formation, its transition by sea to the landing area, to gain and maintain air supremacy during the landing forces, and to promote the landing in the battle for landing. And all this must be done in the absence of marching forces of the landing of the MAO aircraft carriers! .

According to information from unofficial sources (...), this issue can be resolved in the "first two weeks of next month." Apparently, this will happen during the meeting of the arms export commission (...) in the first half of November. Naturally, no dates, even preliminary ones, when Vladivostok will be handed over to Russia, are not named in Paris. As Emmanuel Godez, a representative of (...) DCNS, told RG, "we do not comment on this information, do not confirm or deny it." According to him, this topic (...) is within the competence of the country's leadership. If we talk about the technical implementation of the contract, then it has been completed. This was confirmed by DCNS President Hervé Guyot. He said that the contractual obligations for the construction of the first UDC are "fully implemented", as for the training of Russian sailors who will be in charge of the ship. "The rest is politics. We do not play games with our customers," Hervé Guyot stressed. So, as they say, the ball is on the lawn of the Elysee Palace. As for the top managers of the defense industry, they believe that "Paris should be given the go-ahead to supply helicopter carriers to Moscow." Experts believe that the fate of the annual external orders for military equipment of the French defense industry in the amount of six billion euros depends on the fate of the deal with the Mistrals.

        Little remark. Cavitation - on the blades of the screw. And so that she ate the paint of the underwater part of the hull, Mistral must run at the speed of the RCA on hydrofoils. 21 knots for this will be too little.

          These bands are most likely from the imposition of waves (interference) in places of maximum, but from the course, vibration of the hull or sonar can not immediately say. On this ledge, any wave gives a maximum, and it already causes cavitation. The wavelength is about a meter, for steel it is about 5 kHz - the sound frequency. The maximum of fluctuations (the longest line) at the top of the bull, as it should be.
          The bottom line is that this is not Sevastopol and Vladivostok, but a second-hand Frenchman.

              We are talking about a sound wave in the body metal, 5 km / s the speed of sound in steel, half-waves (bands) after about half a meter, wave - meter, frequency - 5 kHz. Maximum fluctuations and creates a pressure drop in the adjacent water, and it acts on the paint.
              Dirty parts in factories are also washed with sound, only faster and the frequency is higher.
              Moreover, faith in humanity is a school course on the dependence of frequency and wavelength, there are still experiments with filings, how they are collected in stripes. With narrowing of the wave front (to the nose and bulb), the amplitude grows, at the apex maximum. You can believe that a very small part of humanity taught physics at school wink

            An experienced sailor can easily distinguish pitching above normal. Given the wind speed, congestion, etc. Mathematically, the stability of the vessel is calculated. If it does not fall within permissible limits, then the ship will swing much more. A vessel with poor stability is easier to capsize. But ballast is not an option at all. Well, or a very stupid option. In any building structures, there is a struggle for every extra kilogram. Moreover, this applies to vehicles. The same affects the carrying capacity, fuel consumption, etc.

Or are we so urgently needed expensive floating hospitals the size of two nine-story buildings? It seems that we are not going to squeeze out oil from anyone, so a weak enemy is not expected, and a strong likely enemy will drown these former cruise liners (you can see from the contours of which they are molded) very quickly. Maybe it really would be better to return the money to us with a penalty, and we would build on it something that would solve our pressing problems, for example, anti-submarine defense, the demonstration of the flag in the world's oceans and the nerves of the AUG commanders?

I know better than you what we can and what not, theorist pathetic. And I guarantee you that we can design and build, but this is new for us, which means it would be ready not by 2014, but by 2018 at best. Regarding the question "why" I ask YOU personally and specifically HERE, Stasik, there is no answer? Free. Boldeyu from people like you, read the book "Sea Hunter" plus a couple of articles by "pseudo ikspertov" and prove right with foaming at the mouth.

      Can anyone explain to me why they are to us NOW (I mean not the current political situation, but the current situation with the surface fleet)? Mistrals are essentially ships of the "attack on the Papuans", in which zibabwe are we going to land troops and which palms are we going to iron with helicopters?

      First of all, our Navy urgently needs DC now. Any. Because the "Syrian express" has been running for a year now, which knocks out the resource of the existing old large landing ships very quickly. Plus SF has now begun to work actively in the Arctic. New ships from our industry can be expected for at least another 2-3 years - we have just reached the level of serial construction of a BOD (and that is a problem with the GTU). Things have already reached the point that the fleet is reanimating the Sevmorput.

      "Mistral" is good because it already exists, and it is a UDC. That is, at the expense of helicopters, you can take other cargo, including BTT. In addition, do not forget that the first problem with the Syrian supply was precisely with the delivery of helicopters.
      Quote: doktor_alex
      Maybe it would be better if they returned the money to us with a forfeit, and we built something on them that would solve our pressing problems, for example, anti-submarine defense, the demonstration of the flag in the oceans and the unnerving of the AUG commanders?

      When would it be built? Remind you how much Gren is being built. But this is far from the Mistral.
      Ships are needed here and now. Not money, but landing ships. Because it is impossible to transport equipment to non-cash euros.
      And freight will not save us - the Syrian express began precisely with the fact that the officially chartered vessel was not allowed to reach Syria by legal means. Now some goods can be delivered only under the protection of the flag, guns and missiles - for force of law was replaced right of power.

          It is so bad that a private carrier can simply break the contract. For one simple reason - after the first flight to Syria, he will no longer be allowed to work over the hill. They will prohibit the entry of the company's ships into the ports of the EU, the United States and their vassals, arrange a search in neutral waters (during "civil" flights), change the insurance conditions (or even refuse altogether) - and that's it, sit on the shore, smoke bamboo.

          The only alternative to the Syrian express could be a state shipping company. But it is also subject to sanctions and prohibitions, plus it requires compliance with two mutually exclusive paragraphs: compliance with contact obligations to civilian clients and the availability of its vessels for government transportation at any time. Oh yes, his ships must be profitable and at the same time fast and roomy.
          We have already stepped on this rake in the past - "Dobroflot", while observing all the requirements of the Empire's fleet to its ships, steadily balanced on the brink of loss. And if the company is unprofitable, then why should the state maintain at its own expense one more state firm, if it already maintains the Navy with its fleet of DC and auxiliary?

              The Syrian Express addresses our security problems in the same way. It may sound cynical, but let it be better for Syrian soldiers to kill Islamists in Syria on our equipment than our soldiers on our equipment will kill the same Islamists somewhere in the Caucasus - and incur losses.

              Flights of our BDK to Syria solve the problems of defense of our borders. Therefore, their provision is one of the main tasks of the fleet.

              The problems of defense of their shores are also being solved - in parallel with the Mistrals. Moreover, the foreign construction of the Mistrals allows us not to distract our factories from renewing the forces of our fleet - the construction of a series of new submarines, KOR and FR and the overhaul of "large pots".

              Demonstration of the flag ... oh-ho-ho. So far, we can only use the Soviet legacy for this. So far, we have only full-fledged rank I ships in projects. And "Mistral" has nothing to do with it - to build a full-fledged EM or CD, you need to restore production from a sickly chain of subcontractors and have already worked out serial weapons and mechanisms. The best way to do this is going from small to large - training allies and shipbuilders first on small ships. And then we can fly in again - as with "Leningrad" or, even worse, "Soviet Belorussia" under Stalin. Or as with the "Gorshkovs" now - there is a gas turbine engine, but only on 3 out of 6 ships. And for the other three - they will only be in 3 years.

                Let's skip politics, whether it is necessary or not to supply weapons to Syria is not the point. The bottom line is that using the Mistral as a "dry cargo / container ship" is too expensive, I understand your concern that there are no fresh large landing ships in the country, but a large landing ship and a helicopter carrier are slightly different things both in purpose and in cost. If the country needs a large landing ship to deliver cargo to Syria, or somewhere else, in the 4 years that there are talks about the main lines, the Navy could get 4-6 large landing ships, I will tell you a terrible secret, 5 slipways have been vacant at Sevmash for 3 years , there are no problems to build a large landing craft, these ships are relatively simple, the term would be about 2 years. This is by the way to the question "to distract factories from renewal", we are underloaded with orders! The day before yesterday, however, 2 slipways were closed by Nakhimov, but for 4 years 50 SEVMASH did not roll out anything, just looked at the rusting chemical carriers. Believe me, we already have all the necessary cooperation for the construction of anything, up to aircraft carriers (not on the scale of them, of course, but they would have mastered the thieves), a vivid example of Vikramada repairing which I was engaged in, this is practically a new ship, all its equipment is either new or restored by the manufacturers to the state "new", in short, you greatly underestimate us. In general, I may agree that right now at this very minute, mistrals are better than nothing, but in general it was necessary 4 years ago 100 times to think about why we need it.

                  Let's share the momentary tactical and strategic needs of the Mistrals.

                  At the time of ordering the Mistrals, the need for them was strategic. Unfortunately, our DK fleet is outdated morally, and even under the USSR. In single-breasted, now no one is fighting - in the sense that the BDK crawling ashore are a thing of the past. For the past 50 years, the fleet has needed normal DVKD. And then an option appeared.
                  On the other hand, no matter how our industry and design bureaus boasted, but, after the devastation of the 90s and the loss of a whole generation of workers and designers, independent development from scratch (having in the initial only technical specifications and pictures of analogues) a ship of a new class DVKD and its operational construction (and without "the first pancakes - lumpy") seemed a rather unlikely event.
                  And the ship was urgently needed - at least so that the headquarters and marines could begin practicing in practice a new over-the-horizon tactics for us. Therefore, we went along the path tested by our ancestors - ordering a prototype abroad with parallel familiarization of designers and builders with a new animal for them. As a result, the fleet receives "combat training" DVDKDs and gains experience in their operation, and the industry - experience and documentation on real, living ships, and not the fantasies of our design bureaus. In short - hello new "Tsarevich" or "Bayan".

                  This is, so to speak, a "strategic" necessity for the Mistrals at the time of their order. That is, the reasons why they were ordered then.
                  And those "tactical" reasons why they are now trying to get Mistrals at any cost, and not money for them, I have already named.

                  In general, I can and I agree that right now at this moment, the Mistral is better than nothing, but on the whole it was necessary 4 years ago to think 100 more times why we need it.

                  Then, in order not to invent again unparalleled in the world a bike. It is better to start developing your own not with "fantasies based on", but with a really working prototype. Especially if we ourselves have not worked in this area before, and over the hill they have been doing this for over 60 years.
                  No better. Do the same.

    The French seem to have decided:
    Rosoboronexport received an invitation on November 14 to transfer to Russia the first Mistral type helicopter carrier and launch the second, said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. Technically, the execution of the contract is going according to plan, he noted. According to Rogozin, Moscow believes that Paris will fulfill its obligations, and the decision is up to French President Francois Hollande.

    And the reality today is that four times smaller BDK pr.11711 "Ivan Gren" has been under construction for 10 years. And they all can't pass.


    That's why they can’t finish building that multibillion-dollar contracts are settling in the pockets of NATO countries.

      The Mistrals were ordered over the hill precisely because the Gren was not expected to be delivered in the near future. At that time, the industry was barely pulling the serial construction of corvettes.

    And why not pull? Because they did not give money, did not invest in the development of capacities, technologies.

    And if we dig even deeper, when will our country stop filling its "gold and foreign exchange reserves" with foreign currency and debt obligations of the United States and the Eurozone? Maybe it's enough to feed our enemies already ????

    Maybe it's time to spend this very money on the development of our country ???

        This phrase is taken out of context. It will do for "parzhat", but I want more seriousness for the site we respect.
        By the way, it is an interesting idea to collect all the most famous quotes in history taken out of context for the education of the masses. Immediately I can remember "The State is me" and "There are no irreplaceable people." Who else can replenish the piggy bank?

That is, from the point of view of technical execution of the contract, everything is going according to plan, and we proceed from this, ”RIA Novosti quoted Rogozin as saying.
    Rogozin posted a copy of the invitation on Facebook. At the invitation, the French shipbuilding company DCNS thanks Rosoboronexport and the Russian Minister of Defense for agreeing that the date of the Mistral transfer was previously changed.

      I think that we will order ice-class ships from the Finns for the defense of our Arctic ... The Finns know how to build. and there is experience and long-term cooperation .. On the other hand, look at it: everything suggests that a showdown in the Arctic is inevitable. Serious showdown. But is it possible to drive the Mistral into the Arctic ??! He's a canning can .. What kind of work in the ice, in winter .. ??! It means only to drive the Papuans and work in the Persian Gulf .. Well, maybe the Baltic Sea ... very much maybe .. About the Far East, I beg you .. - what kind of landing? there is so much population per square centimeter that any amphibious assault group will simply be overwhelmed by the bodies of the defenders .. There are two real options for using the Black Sea Fleet, or the Baltic.

      To be honest, I did not notice the hosanna for these boxes .. In fact, the money was paid. and there, at the top, they understand better than us that the frogs will never return them to us. So everything will hang like that until the ships are given back .. Once again, I repeat, - my personal opinion - I would have drowned this steamer and demanded a penalty from France .... There are no tasks for it in our military doctrine. And in the NATO doctrine, too, by the way, there is no ... - there is more about their appetites for our Siberia, but in the Ob and Yenisei "Mistral" will not climb - the ass is fat ..

      Firstly, spitting is ugly. Secondly, "these Russians" sounds like a challenge - is it possible to look at your passport and are you not afraid to go against the club with your skewer ?. In the third, this is a common thing - whoever has to join to say something - he joins. The rest are silent in a rag - not their day. And there have already been so many disputes that an unspoken break has been announced - everyone is resting in the corners.

    As soon as possible, he needs to make a decision that will have the least serious and painful consequences. What this decision will be will be known in the very near future.
    The least serious consequences will be the option with 100% fulfillment of the contract. The USA will swell and shut up. France is too important in partners.
