What can I say well done! ..... not ashamed of our shipbuilders to learn good from neighbors! It's a shame ...... grandmas at the expense of the country's interests to earn by selling ships that should enter our fleet under various pretexts! This is me about the situation at Yantar!

Something I am pleased with the success of China. probably got to hell with "exceptional shit"

Politics intervened in the situation at Yantar. Territory 404 refused to supply turbines. Most likely our engines will not be available in 2018-2020. I will not vanguard, but the stand on Saturn is not fully built, but work is being carried out very intensively. So ships would they didn’t rust against the wall in anticipation of turbines, it would be better to sell them to the Indians, and to use the proceeds to lay new ones already under our engines.

(C) It's a shame ...... grandmas at the expense of the country's interests to earn by selling ships

It should be a shame to the authorities, thanks to which the "grandmothers" to support the pants of our military-industrial complex go from abroad, and not from the Russian budget, which at that time is being stolen and goes into offshore.

Well, what can I say, once again, the Chinese are great. especially if we consider that our prospective destroyer on the subject “Leader” can be built no earlier than 2023-2025 /
The first destroyers of the PLA Navy were the four 7 ships from the Pacific Fleet (Anshan type) transferred to the USSR. In China, they served up to the beginning of the 1990-ies, having received additional rocket armament during the service. For a long time these were the largest surface ships of the fleet. Of the four ships, two are now museums, and one is used as a textbook at the Dalian Naval Academy. Next is the destroyer of the 051 project ("Lyuda", based on the Soviet 56 project), its radically modified version of the 051GII project "Zhuhai", the 051C "Shenzhen" project (not built in series), the 956E project, the 052B project, the 052C project. Modifications of each of the basic types, as well as the newest destroyer of the 052D project, are not shown.
