  Do not sell. There are many obligations.
  The main thing is now ours to sell devices to this trough (helicopters, equipment), because the Russified highways are imprisoned for our tasks and, accordingly, our weapons.

    Well, this is so, only the specific Syria and the BDK of the 4 fleets are working to the limit, making 2 flights per month each. And the reserve for building up the group is no longer there, the rest is either in repair or in the database in its fleet.
    
    You can’t use civilian contractors - because, under the law of the sea, when passing through other people's waters (Turkey), they are legally stopped and inspected. Turkey imposed sanctions against Assad and Syria, on this basis, the cargo will either be arrested and returned after a long trial, or the ship with the cargo will be deployed towards the point of departure. Although there Peter, Kuzya and Moscow will prank in the straits - these are international laws that Russia has also signed.

      Good idea. But you can consider introducing into the Navy a pair of dry cargo vessels or container ships in the auxiliary fleet. Raise the Andreev flag, guis and let them try to inspect.

      Contractors are not allowed, but renting with transfer to the Navy is possible, of course, you will have to tinker with pieces of paper, but here, as they say, the one who wants is looking for opportunities and who does not want it - excuses :)

      Not everything is so sad ... Here, for example, what does the ferry "Alexander Tkachenko" of the company "SMT Crimea" do after the closing of the tourist season in Crimea:
      
      Pomnitsa, when this photo appeared, everyone wondered why Syria needed "Urals", PAZs and tanks ...
      
      But a ro-ro vessel as part of the Navy under the flag of the auxiliary fleet would be more reliable, yes. Moreover, for him, and without the Syrian express, enough work.

  Obviously, the Mistals did not last long. At one time in the war with Israel, how many Egyptians of Soviet technology prosrali. And basically it was not combat losses, but everything was stupidly abandoned.

  Who will drown? Hussites from the Metis / Competition? Or Caliphate from Cornet? Or maybe Dawn of Libya with recoilless / MiG-25 cast iron? These are all likely opponents and areas of application of ships.
  
  So they got a whole FREMM in the escort + Rafali + they bought Govindas to the Mistrals (which cost more than the Mistrals).
  
  There is peace and harmony with Israel, until cooperation in the Sinai and the active development of the Israel-Egypt military-technical cooperation.

  Since the 2013 of the year, the Nevskoye Design Bureau has been easily encroaching on naval projects with advance projects. Generally 7-8 years from the beginning of financing to the lead ship and try to accommodate the price in 500 million dollars per ship - this is the application of the Nevsky Design Bureau.

    Yeah ... and this is the second approach to the projectile. Earlier, the Nevskoye PKB tried to offer its alternative to the "mistrals" ordered at that time, but domestic shipyards said that no places - all suitable slipways are occupied, there is nowhere to lay the ship. And looking at "Gren" - you can understand them.

But it’s interesting, do they also have captains on such ships or will they also be trained in 4 months?
I looked at their composition and found nothing more than 5000 tons. But 5 thousand tons and 20 thousand tons, even in management, are significantly different.

What the Saudis say to Egypt, he will do with these ships. Maybe it will be like a ship providing pin-dos and their sixes. And what about I. Gren? When the contract with the Mistrals was just negotiated, it was already under construction, Mistral had long been ready, even oversold, and I.Gren what?

  Prikaznoy under the tree - otherwise without prizes everyone will be sad to celebrate the new year. The first exit to the ZHI is December (formally, to close the task on the 1 exit and surrender - but the fleet will accept it by the spring of 2016 - everyone is happy, everyone with bonuses ).
  
  "An order has been signed today to start mooring tests, which we plan to complete at the end of November and move on to factory sea trials. By the end of the year, the ship will be handed over to the Navy", - said Mikhailov.

Observe the fate of the Mistrals! With all the negativity to the crap, they didn’t have the likeness of Gorbachev and EBN, ours would be launched into scrap metal cutting. One is insulting how much resources were invested in the defense industry, funds torn off from the people, and then they were cutting up for scrap or simply withdrawing loot abroad.

The Black Sea Fleet is becoming a full-fledged fleet (the Caspian Flotilla is an integral part of it), the arrival of new boats ("black hole") will make it even stronger, so the Yankees in the Black Sea will simply not increase their grouping, do not consider them idiots, they know very well that the Crimean coastal complexes , if necessary, they will clog up the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles, and the Aegean Sea too. They will not risk breaking the convention on the Black Sea Straits. Therefore, I think they will follow the path that Russia has gone through, begin to strengthen the coastal component in Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, and possibly on the "square". Hence the conclusion: - Russia does not need a Mistral-type trough in the Black Sea, we will build a smaller large landing craft with more pronounced characteristics of a combat ship ourselves, experience has already appeared. Egypt, although not a public one, but almost now an ally and helicopters can only be bought in Russia (to do the same repair), so that we have not lost anything (I even hope we found new technologies!)
