"No analogues": in the Russian Federation cannot build atomic icebreakers "Russia" without Ukrainian details - the media
Earlier in Russia it was assumed that to help equip the icebreakers with the necessary details - brackets of rowing shafts, ice teeth and steering brackets - the plant "Energomashspetsstal" in Kramatorsk (Donetsk region) will be able to. However, Ukrainian production was destroyed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in May 2022. The invaders were divided into the city. It is impossible to get the analog parts required by the construction of the icebreaker.
PJSC "Energomashpetsstal" (Kramatorsk, Donetsk region)-the largest Ukrainian manufacturer of special cast and forged products of individual and small-scale production for metallurgy, shipbuilding, energy (wind-, steam, hydro-, atomic) and general engineering. Enterprise products are known in more than 50 countries. As a result of the rocket-bombing strike caused by the Russian Federation on the evening of May 5, the equipment of the forging and pressing shop of the plant was destroyed.
In particular, the automated forging complexes and the pumping and accumulating station were damaged. Russian President Vladimir Putin was declared about the creation of diesel and nuclear icebreakers in the Russian Federation in the world in early November 2020. "The future is behind them, and I am sure that our talented shipbuilders are ready for innovation, to find and implement bold technical solutions," Putin said. One of these vessels was to become atomic icebreaker, named after the creator.
"Russia" was to build on a ship "Star". The water was planned in 2027. However, now, according to Kommersant, there have been a lag in the manufacture of large corpus castings. In addition, the creators of the icebreaker failed to fit into the estimate and now they will have to pay a little more than the nuclear power plant. It is about increasing the cost of the State Contact React by 40-60%.
In addition, according to media data from its own sources, there is a lag in the work and by the "Star" itself: in order to reduce it, the ship must involve more workers for corps and welding work on the icebreaker. We will remind, on January 6 Ukraine refused to serve further rocket complex of the Russian Federation "Satan". According to the Cabinet representative in the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine has terminated the missile system of missile complexes, signed with Russia on February 21, 2006.
