Brahmos II

Not in any way to knock Zircon. Just because I wanted to make sure in comparison.

So, what is the story of Zircon, and how is it tied with Brahmos II?

 

[Barmaley]

Brahmost II - is an export version, i guess.

Kindly remove chip from shoulder. There is a difference between a straight export (I make, you buy) and a joint venture (which may or may not entail co-development and co-production, e.g. to tailor to non-Russian specs). I apologize for thinking such subtleties actually matter on this forum and in life.

According to the spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry’s Eastern Military District, Russia’s Pacific Fleet and army forces successfully launched missile systens to reach sea targets on Friday during joint drills in the Sea of Japan.



VLADIVOSTOK (Sputnik) — Russia’s Pacific Fleet and army forces struck sea targets on Friday during a joint exercise in the country’s Far East in the Sea of Japan, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry’s Eastern Military District said.

"During the first stage of the drills, a boat strike group launched a missile attack at a sea target in the Peter the Great Gulf, followed by a successful attack from Bal coastal defense missiles systems on ships of enemy-decoy airborne forces," Capt. Rank Roman Martov said.

A total of 30 warships and supply vessels of Russia’s Pacific Fleet are taking part in the ongoing final leg of the winter military exercises.

A shipbuilding plant in Crimea is capable of building large Mistral-class helicopter carriers, the region’s Industry Minister Andrei Vasyuta told RIA Novosti news agency.



“The Zaliv plant in Kerch is a one-of-a-kind facility with slipways and a dry dock you won’t find anywhere else in Russia. The whole issue of Mistral orders would have never come up if we had a plant like this five years ago,” Vasyuta said.

The 360mx60m dry dock is big enough to build several ships all at the same time. The plant can also construct large ships like Mistrals.

“All we need is the knowhow and concrete projects to work on,” the Minister added.

Andrei Vasyuta said that the local shipyards had suffered from neglect when Crimea was part of Ukraine, and needed a serious upgrade.

“There’s been a great deal of wear and tear during the 23 years the peninsula remained part of Ukraine. These enterprises suffered from technological degradation, falling orders and a dangerous brain drain as many qualified specialists had left looking for better-paid jobs elsewhere and started getting back only after Crimea reunited with Russia in 2014,” Vasyuta added.

A traditional builder of naval frigates, the Zaliv plant has in the past two decades switched to the construction of bulk carriers, offshore oil rigs and engaged in repair work.


The plant is currently fulfilling construction orders for two rescue ships and as many oil tankers. Work on two aluminum-hull passenger ship is slated to start shortly.
