And Russia’s attempts to create its own production of naval engines have failed.
Due to the impossibility of manufacturing engines without the Ukrainian plant Zorya-Mashproekt of Mykolaiv, Russia was forced to sell India a series of latest generation ships unfinished. And Russia’s attempts to create its own production of naval engines have failed. This was stated by Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk on Monday, according to comments reported by Ukrainian media.
“The fact is that the Russian Federation built a series of frigates before 2014. These are the newest frigates, they already have universal launchers, that is, they have already understood that the Kalibrs are from ancient history, they are trying to switch to new models of missile weapons. But in 2014, sanctions were imposed against the Russian Federation, mainly by us. The engines of these frigates were manufactured by the Zorya-Mashproekt factory in Mykolaiv. And without them it turned out that it is impossible to build Russian ships. Moreover, they tried to restore this production on their territory, and even five years later, in 2019, they presented a supposedly established production, but it turned out to be a fakeeven despite the fact that they had transferred some of the specialists from Ukraine. This production is unique, and they were not able to put it on at home during this time. And because of this, they were forced to abandon the entire series of frigates and sell them to India without engines. Only then did India purchase these engines separately.”

“They planned to build a series of landing ships in Crimea, but now it is impossible”
The spokesperson also noted that the Russian naval industry appears quite weak.
“This is an echo of the 90s, when they took a serious break. Most of the serial projects are also from the 90s. Traditionally, the production equipment park is outdated and there is traditionally a delay in the implementation of state orders. developed many plansparticularly in the Black Sea. They planned to build a series of landing ships in Crimea, but now it is impossible“, added Pletenchuk.
