Got weird news (In Indonesian) from RBTH (Russia Beyond The Headlines) That over 70% parts of kilo are Ukraine made.

According to the newspaper "The Guardian of the Baltic" submarine B-227 "Vyborg" [Project 877] relocated from Kronstadt to the Baltic and take up the challenge of combat training.

Submarine "Vyborg" was in need of repair since 2007. However, the limited amount of financing state armaments program did not allow the Defense Ministry to begin funding the work on submarines before 2011.

In 2011, the Kronstadt Naval plant started to work on a submarine "Vyborg". May 15, 2013 the submarine was launched from the dock "Memory 3 destroyers" and moored at the quay of the plant for outfitting works.

Next mooring trials - from January to July 2014. Factory sea trials the submarine was launched in August 2014. After the address the identified observations in September 2014 the ship out to sea. Commissioning team and the crew of the submarine is fully completed the program and passed factory tests Navy.

On Friday, October 24, 2014, on the pier in the harbor of Kronstadt Merchant solemn ceremony of signing the Act of Handover diesel-electric submarine "Vyborg" Navy Russia.

The service life of the submarine, built in 1983, was extended until the end of 2017.

Submarine B-227 was built for the Soviet Navy in 1982 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In 1985 he was transferred to the Baltic.

I cant understand why a ship is docked for modernization for 7 years and when it comes out it will serve only for 2-2,5 years. Whats the point?

Actually proper construction rates.

The series so far, time from being laid down to launch:

B-261 - 39 months

B-237 - 31 months

B-262 - 24 months

B-265 - 14 months

So what you are saying is that production of the first vessel is not necessarily an indication of how long later vessels will take unless there are some fundamental design changes needed for the second or later boats?

As long as we are talking about something as well mastered by the industry as the Kilo, sure.

Hoping for the same magic with larger nuclear boats, well........
