      Arabs are cunning and trading in their blood, I won’t be surprised if these Mistrals end up in Russia at the end

        Nah, we don’t need them like that. Most likely in India to create a counterbalance to China, or to the Philippines, which like China are very interested in the Spratly archipelago, well, it may be Vietnam for the same reason, if the money is scratched.

          Yes, even Mongolia. Just the specification says that it is prepared for a specific buyer. Does Egypt have an expeditionary force? Mistral didn’t give up on it, it’s a resale of honorable water, maybe not immediately in 2-3 years

        No, it’s just that the Arabs want to quietly take out samples of electronic equipment from Russia, including electronic warfare equipment, and then sell them to mattresses. This is so simple version. And according to the Mistrals, how many screams there were that Russia profiled money, threw it, and so on. They returned the money for the Mistral, so it’s also possible to earn good money on equipment, and then on Russian weapons. So who threw whom?

      They did not buy these "galoshes" for themselves. The Saudis were bountiful (possibly with the suggestion of the "big brother")!

          Of course for cash. They su..ki still for the Arab Israeli war, only for tanks owe 5 billion green at 1973 prices. This is not counting rocket planes and the rest. They are not grateful creatures, and let the money immediately to the barrel.

        It would be strange if without electronic warfare. That's just an interesting question, are there English-American ears do not stick out, for an hour? They are really interested in KRET products, but they cannot get close.

        That's the whole thing ...

        And it is completely incomprehensible what means of communication and control, and even more specifically - electronic warfare equipment are said ...

        We also take into account the fact that, if the control and communication equipment is ours, then this will already be a long-term contract for its maintenance ... But what about the different standards that are very different from each other ???

      It is too early to judge who earns more (if you are interested in numbers). Not yet all sides, they all bought for these ships what they would like. Wait and see.

    What kind of information is this? Does anyone have info from a reliable source ?:


    In the Baltic Sea off the coast of the Pillau Peninsula, a Russian submarine collided with the Polish submarine Orzeł ("Ozhel").

    As REN TV learned, the incident happened the other day. At the same time, according to sources, the Russian submarine did not receive significant damage and after surfacing went to the naval base. At the same time, the Polish "Ozhel" after surfacing had to be towed away from the collision site.

    The Russian military department REN TV has not yet been able to receive any comments on the incident. At the same time, the Polish media write that the Russian submarine Krasnodar received minor damage after the collision and was sent for repairs to the Admiralty shipyards.

    "Ozhel" is the only Polish submarine inherited from this country from Soviet times. This is a Project 877E diesel submarine, which entered Poland in 1986. The vessel is armed with 6 torpedo tubes of 533 mm caliber, up to 18 torpedoes or 24 mines. The remaining four submarines of the Polish Navy went to Warsaw from the British in the early 200s and previously bore English names.

      One thing I can say - Ren-TV is a bastion of truthful information. You will not find more truth than on Ren-TV anywhere. Don't you really believe in aliens? By the way, it always amused why aliens fly at night, with the lights on? Are they stupid people? :)

    Plus "Mistral" (the version that the Russian Navy was supposed to acquire - the widespread use of automated control systems, which helped to reduce the number of crew members to 160 people.
    Another function of the Mistral is the ability to use it as a headquarters. The helicopter carrier is provided with a special room with an area of ​​850 sq. m, which can comfortably work up to 200 technicians and staff workers. The problem is that Soviet and Russian ships are not intended to play the role of a flagship (a command center for controlling a small squadron, aviation (including strategic, air defense and sea) submarines and, if necessary, with coastal defense units ... They could play the role of the flagship of a small purely naval group.

    2011 "... Negotiations with the French are very difficult, the dispute is over the ship's equipment, primarily because of the Zenith-9 combat information and control system and the SIC-21 command control system (fleet). The French side agrees to give Zenith-9 without a production license and is completely against the transfer of SIC-21. Russia insists on the transfer of Mistrals with all systems and devices ... Problems in negotiations over the construction of Mistral-class helicopter carriers for Russia related to the issue of technology transfer. Initially, we said that this price should include not only the ship, but also the technology ... "
    As a result, then we won and the ships went as a bonus ... By the summer of 2014. the Americans put pressure on Paris so that both systems were not supplied to the Russian Federation. Then we no longer needed this floating "barn" with an empty space of 850 m2 ...

    It is planned to use our helicopters on helicopter carriers, which means that specific equipment is needed to work with them and, possibly, "simplified" combat control systems ..
