Egypt to order Buyan Class corvettes in 2017

[The SC]

This is suggested by Zelenodolsk’s Shpyard annual activity report, which manufactures this type of corvette. “Интерес к поставке кораблей проекта 21632 в различных модификациях проявили Инозаказчики 818, 795.” This could translate into interest in 21632 corvettes type expressed by clients 818 and 795 which are Egypt and Turkmenistan. The footnote further states that the interest relates to a modified version of the corvette.
It should be remembered that the Buyan class corvette was the ship made the big headlines in 2015 and 2016.

In October 2015 two small Buyan corvettes, Veliky Ustyug and City of Sviyazhsk had launched Kalibre missiles at targets in Syria, in the Raqqah and Aleppo regions from the Caspian Sea, more than 1,500 km away.

In 2016 two vessels of the same class, Serpukhov and Zelenyy Dol had been assigned to the Mediterranean Sea and targeted many positions in Syria.

Buyan corvettes, which have the appearance of coastal ships, have demonstrated their strategic value by achieving precision strikes over long distances, in addition to be built with a stealth design that makes them very difficult to detect.

In the case of an Egyptian acquisition, the latter will have the option of equipping it with Klub M or Yakhont missiles in order to comply with the MTCR range limiting regime. This gives Egypt, which has 3000 Km of sea front, an impressive striking capacity in depth of up to 300 km.

We're seeing more and more of that Russian arms purchase shifting.

"The MTCR range limiting regime." So which missile will they chose, the Klub M or Yakhont? Are they both 300km in range?

i dont under stand where the money from with all the loan they take and why not to try to develop alone with almost 100 milion people

You have 3 (actually 4) versions of Tornado:

1- with Grad naval version

2- with U-35

3- with Onyx (or Brahmos)

4- with a Helicopter

Concentrate in the words "with very special specifications" for Egypt which carry a lot of signs..

p.s: whatever the missile type, it will be compliant to the MTCR.. Russia is a signatory.. but if it gives Tot in a JV like for the Brahmos with India, then the sky is the limit..

egypt get stronger every day they rank now in 10 place on global power

 

[Gomig-21]

egypt get stronger every day they rank now in 10 place on global power

And you believe that ranking that puts Israel @15 to be accurate?

 

[c-dome1]

And you believe that ranking that puts Israel @15 to be accurate?

no because we have nukes

 

[Gomig-21]

no because we have nukes

So why do you mention it's getting stronger every day and ranked 10th if you don't believe it?

 

[c-dome1]

she get more weapons so she get stronger what is the problem?
but if we have war with them and we send few nukes game over

but its only in
Theory i dont think egypt and israel will have war any time soon

 

[Gomig-21]

she get more weapons so she get stronger what is the problem?

Because you say one thing and really believe something else, and I'm just curious why the deception?

but if we have war with them and we send few nukes game over

So without nukes taken into consideration, you think Egypt is 5 spots higher than Israel? BTW, GF rankings don't take nuclear stockpiles into account, but are recognized, and suspected nuclear powers receive a bonus. So the rankings consider nukes for the most part yet you still do or don't believe Egypt is 10th and 5 places ahead of Israel?

but its only in
Theory i dont think egypt and israel will have war any time soon

Let's hope not.

Ok, so you changed your mind and you don't think it's ranking 10 is correct, that's ok.
Just FYI, I personally think that ranking is off as well.

It should also be remembered that Russia does not export the long range versions of the missiles it fired (3M14K/3M14T). Instead, foreign clients can only get the land-attack version of the Klub family, the 300km 3M-14TE/3M-14E/3M-14AE.

That's why the article also reads:

"In the case of an Egyptian acquisition, the latter will have the option of equipping it with Klub M or Yakhont missiles in order to comply with the MTCR range limiting regime. This gives Egypt, which has 3000 Km of sea front, an impressive striking capacity in depth of up to 300 km."

These Buyan (project 21630) variants don't have the 8-cell VLS and are significantly smaller (more like 500 tons) than the redesigned and much larger Buyan-M (project 21631)

The article says project 21632, not 21631 for client 818.. so this is something else I guess.. a new version!
