The Ukrainian military department decided to write off the project 1124P ship and two boats. We are talking about the corvette U206 "Vinnitsa" (former Dnipro), raid boat U733 "Tokmak" and one more of his "brother".
The ship "Vinnitsa" was the last corvette, which was in service with the Ukrainian Navy. It was adopted into service 1976 of the year. At the same time, until the mid-1990s, he was part of the Border Guard Service.. AT 1996 year it was renamed "Vinnitsa" and transferred to the balance of the naval forces of the "square".
As of today, the Vinnitsa corvette is a dull sight.. It has no main weapons., part of electrical equipment, there are significant problems with the power plant. ship hull, which has been neglected for a long time, is in critical condition.
allegedly, “it is technically not possible to extend the service life of a warship and boats, since the main components for their repair would have to be ordered from Russian companies".
The ship "Vinnitsa" was moved to the sump back in 2017 year, Where, in fact, rotted all this time.
About the boats reported, that their condition is unsatisfactory. What prevented these boats from being repaired in a timely manner instead of applying for boats to Washington, Ukrainian Ministry of Defense does not speak.
Recall, that a few days earlier materials appeared in the Ukrainian media, which indicated the plans of the command of the country's Navy to convert the sea tug "Korets" into a patrol boat. On the question of, what in the end can be the speed characteristics of such a patrol ship, the military department of Ukraine is not responsible.
Some comments of Ukrainian readers:
And we are definitely a sea power?
Write off and sell everything. The earth, factories, ships. Soon people will be written off and sold. Though many of us have long been sold…
