Ukraine builds Corvets ADA during the war: Kovalenko told what and when they would need

The first corvette was laid in September 2021 in accordance with the Turkish -building contract, the price of one - 500 million euros. The first recalculation for construction began before the start of a full -scale invasion, the money for the contract was paid. According to Kovalenko, before the start of a full -scale war, different concepts of the Navy - "Mosquito Fleet", "Wolf Play" were considered.

In general, no one deny the need to build ships with water tonal and more than a thousand tons, but not the same or larger ones than the Fragate class. The corvette vessels were perfectly fit into this concept. In particular, ADA can fight not only with surface objects with the help of the Harpoon or Neptune PCCC, but also to participate in operations to identify and combat underwater purposes. The vessel also has a RIM-116 SPR.

Ukraine cannot receive and place these ships in ports while the war is ongoing. Because the ship can be the target # 1 for the Russian Federation. Kovalenko believes that before the end of the war, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation will no longer be able to be called so that Ukraine will have a ready and capable fleet. In particular, in the United Kingdom, two mine hunters of Sandown are expected for Ukraine.

Also, do not forget about the project of high -speed boats P50U, carriers of PCCC "Neptune". In the United States, Ilend and Mark IV patrol boats are waiting. "Besides, I do not rule out that after the release of the Crimea peninsula, we are expected there and marine trophy. Alexander Kovalenko emphasized. ADA is a prototic coastal zone, a Milgem project. The vessels were developed for the Navy of Turkey.

For Ukraine, Corvets are built taking into account the possibility of re -equipment for newer samples and the use of weapons of different manufacturers. In particular, the cells under the PKRs are made in such a way that they can launch domestic PKR "Neptune" and foreign "Harpun", ATMACA, Naval Strike Missile and others. We will remind, on March 8, President Zelensky called a new corvette what to build in Turkey for Ukraine, the name of Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky.
