Russian Navy to Receive Second Trio of
Project 11356 Frigates
16:39 01.07.2017 (updated 16:45 01.07.2017)
The construction of three Russian Project
11356 frigates stalled over suspended engine supplies from Ukraine will be
completed and the ships will be delivered to the Black Sea Fleet, Vice-Adm.
Viktor Bursuk, the Russian Navy’s deputy commander for procurement, said on
Saturday.
ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) – Bursuk pointed
out that some foreign partners showed interest in the new Russian
frigates.
"We really made a step toward our
foreign partners, who wanted to purchase frigates of this project.
However, the [construction of] three ships laid down at the Yantar
shipyard will be completed and delivered to the Navy," Bursuk told
reporters on the sidelines of the 8th International Maritime Defense
Show (IMDS-2017)
Russia planned to construct six Project 11356
frigates by 2020. Two frigates have already been delivered to the
Russian Navy, while one more is being tested now. The construction of the
last three frigates stalled after Ukraine refused to deliver
gas-turbine engines. The manufacturing of the gas-turbine engines is now
being carried out at the NPO Saturn plant in the Russian city
of Rybinsk.
