Last week Admiral Kuroyedov, commander-in-chief of Russian Navy, informed public that Russia reconciders its military shipbuilding programs. This century Russia will not build large surface combatants (full-sized carriers, missile cruisers), large landing ships and 20,000-ton subs. Its future Navy will consist mainly of frigates, corvettes, large hovercrafts, 8,000-12,000 SSNs and land-based planes. I think thats a very big mistake, to willingly surrender Russian current positions. |
