Russia LHD ready for service by 2020?

[chopper2004]

Russia’s amphibious ambitions are shown here in lieu of them not able to purchase the Mistral from the French.

The Russian ship building industry is almost as good as the Indian one at producing vessels on time.................................

No. Next question?

+ 1 to NO


The topic starter did not read what was posted. Quoting: "The construction of the first and the sole serial-produced landing helicopter dock is planned to begin in 2022 and the ship is expected to be delivered to the customer in 2026"


Hope the project will not move beyond the general design phase. The country does not need that stuff. Just waste of money and resources...

I like the idea of a SOLE serial - produced vessel - I'd have said "hand crafted & individualised"

but maybe the translation was screwed up
