    Purely Russian fault that one. They left crucial components production to remain in Ukrainian hands, partially in Belarus and Kazakhstan too but alot less compared to Ukraine. Not only that, but they remained in hibernation for 25 years without any development in those areas of their own, whatsoever.

    It's stupid for Ukraine. They will never found a client like Russia as the west has it's domestic production, idem for asia. In the long term Ukraine looses. Russia will just have more industries and more jobs for its population, specially if you look at all the ship that will be build in the near future.

    Potentially its space for Russian industry and economy to grow... however... as there is always however. For certain components it will take a long period of time as Russians never had industrial base for some of Ukrainian products, simply as it was set back when USSR existed. So they now need to almost do stuff from the scratch and it can take... years even decades.
    Which could mean we end up with like, the best ship-building industry in the world or something. Building from scratch usually yields excellent innovations... but the time factor is a shame for sure.

    I wouldnt go that far and expect best shipbuilding industry in the world, that is very unrealistic as Japan, South Korea and few other major shipbuilding nations are so far ahead its not very likely Russia will catch up any time soon. However reviving some of the dead shipyards, repairing them, and start building ships at least for own industry needs would be a good start.

    I think what is important now is the start work in this area (shipbuilding) and set a roadmap to where they want the industry to be in lets say 10-20 years. with its advantage in manpower, technology and resources Russia can certainly close the gap with either Japan or South Korea, with careful planning and strict management and implementation of projects in the ship industry.

    yeah... I have a friend who has the best ball point pen in the world and really it doesn't do anything that my 50 cent plastic BIC pens can't do.

    The best in the world is an illusion and a waste of time most of the time...

    Roadmap?

    Could you have not added that the result will be a whole new level and that that would be a game changer... a 5th gen supercruising stealthy shipyard... awesome.

    Most of Ukrainian specialists will go to found a job in Russia as their jobs are dead in Ukraine. So Russia wins a lot in this situation. Plus the population in Russia will grow fast if they keep growing their economy like they do since the 90's. So it's gonna be a big market, in the other hand Europe looses too much with their sanctions in the short and long term and providing economic support to countries like Ukraine or Poland ( Look at the failed deal for helicopters with France) who don't give a shit about the UE. Just want the annual aid and the protection of US.

    Well well, what do we have here?

    The good ship Yantar is out there prowling again. Pure co-incidence of course that it just happens to stop right on top of sub-sea cables.

    http://www.hisutton.com/Yantar.html

    Plus some great links to other 'special' undersea craft.

    Russians have chance to specialize in ships for Arctic/ frozen seas/ underwater robots for mining. All depends on govt support and keeping direction.

    Two destroyers leave Vladivostok for a long range deployment. Are they headed to the Mediterranean or Yemen?

    They already have two destroyers from the Northern Fleet with them plus two Steregushchy Class Frigates from the Baltic Fleet on the way to join them. And waiting for them at Gibraltar are two Buyan-M corvettes. Quite a Battle Group being assembled.

    If the fleet (Northern plus Baltic elements) goes down the Channel past Dover as a single group, it will be a fantastic photo opportunity. Reminds me of the German successful heavy cruiser dash up the Channel in 1941.

    If the Russian MoD has its head screwed on right it will exploit it to the full. You know, HQ pictures from a chopper with the White Cliffs in the background, especially as when they are travelling south, due to the one way system, these ships could well be less than 10Km from the English coast, well inside the normal 12 mile limit due to the narrow Channel. We all know the foreshortening effect of a long lens, it could be made to look as if they were cruising past just outside the harbour!

    Anyone reading this in Moscow? Get a timetable published so that we can go and get our own pictures from the cliffs in Kent. God willing it will be a clear day.

    That thing already has two destroyers and batllecruiser as escorts. Plus subs and whatever small fish tags along the way.

    What are they expecting to run into down there? Suspect

    It will take them longer to get to the Med than the Kuznetsov, so they may join it there rather than accompany it.

    Allegedly pulling up a US Sonar chain
    #Russia n Navy #Yantar removed a #USA under sea Sonar network along the Syrian coast ,linked to NATO bases in #Cyprus and #Mersin

    To tap cables with public GPS enabled would be gross incompetence & they have subs that could do it much less publicly.

    I wonder what the legalities of laying/ripping up sonar chains in international waters are?

    Do you have a link to this?

    Probably no legalities, the US is hardly likely to complain to any court. Probably just cut the cable, stuck a burst of power up it and dropped it again. Clearly an accident Smile

    https://twitter.com/syrianmilitary/status/788013850272686080 No idea how reliable or otherwise that is, hence 'allegedly'.

    Openly going 'here we are along your sonar cable, did you notice it stop working?' seems kinda more likely than 'oops we forgot to turn our GPS off while tapping internet cables'.

    There's certainly reports of internet cable issues in the area though, so at least some collateral damage anyway.

    the fleet is growing to sumary we have :
    1 carrier "Adm Kuznetsov" and 1 heavy cruiser "Peter Veliky"
    2 Udalov destroyer "Severomorsk" and "VA Kulakof"
    4 Fregates 2  "Stoiky"" and "Soobrazitelny" + "Y. Mudry" + "Ad Essen"
    2 corvettes BuyM "Zeleny Dol" and "Serpukhof"
    1 SSN minimum
    with support only 1 Tanker "S Osipov" + 2 tug "N Chiker" and SB-36 + AGI "Y. Ivanov"


    Already in Mediteranean sea
    AGI/ Ocea "yantar" + Mine sweeper "Kovronets"
    1 SS "Krasnodar" ?
    cruiser "Moskva""" back to Sebastopol ?
    1-2 BDK from Syrian express ?
    Support ?

    Somebody knows better current Mediterranean fleet ?

    If it is to deter USA to bomb Syrian gouvernent troops the price will be very efficient

    No.

    Aleppo will be done soon so Kuznetzov will most likely be taking over air ops near the coastline so Hmeim airbase crowd is freed up to handle Homs/Idlib situation and assists with Deir ez Zorr and maybe even covers siege lifting should they pursue that angle. Also, final data gathering is needed to finalize airplane/helicopter carriers designs.

    Peter the Great is there to provide AA cover in addition to Atalant class already present.

    Destroyers and frigates are there to provide decent exclusion zone for the next 4-5 months.

    All will be keeping an eye on random subs.

    Everyone knows what Buyans will be doing.

    Also, Yantar and Yuri Ivanov will need someone to run interference while they do their thing. I have a hunch that a lot of cables will be messed with between now and Christmas.

    This. Plus having the big fleet there makes it easier to negotiate with nearby countries. angel
