Ukraine Cleared To Buy 16 Of The U.S. Navy’s Newest Patrol Boats
A notable naval skirmish with Russian forces a year and a half ago underscored the country’s desperate need for additional and more capable ships.
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICK JUNE 17, 2020…The Ukrainian Navy still lacks the kind of capability to actively deter or otherwise challenge the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet, which would be its most likely immediate naval opponent. The Black Sea Fleet has some 50 surface vessels, including a cruiser, a destroyer, and a number of frigates, as well as six submarines. This is not to mention the expansive military capabilities that Russia has deployed on the Crimean Peninsula, which it has illegally occupied since 2014, and elsewhere in the Black Sea region, including significant amounts of combat airpower and shore-based anti-ship, as well as anti-aircraft defenses.
In 2018, the United States did propose the sale of two ex-U.S. Navy Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates to Ukraine…
“illegal occupation of Crimea” well this is an arms industry rag.
