Oh, and here you come to the rescue of Russia, just with false statements about how bad is the state of the auxiliary ship fleet of the Russian Navy.
What is what hurted you more. It was because I said that this was the weakest part of the Russian operation in Syria, which in fact shows the overall solidness of the operation, or it was because I said that the even this was not necessary because Russia has ships in use for it?
"Majority of auxiliary ships is in bad shape" comments and blah, blah, blah, is just the weakness I was talking about. This purchase just opens the door to these kind of wrong comments, that of course you are between the first people to use in this supposed defense of Russia.
Just my comment was because of this, and to show that this is not the case, with links where is possible to see recent pictures of every ship, and that the Russian Navy has between its 523 (without these 4) auxiliary ships all the necessary for the operation in Syria, where 23 auxiliary ships are being used at this point.
No, the Russian Navy is not as ineffective to have not the 23 needed auxiliary ships for Syria between their 523. And not, the Russian Navy is not in a situation where a "majority of auxiliary ships is in bad shape".
Russia can shut-up easily the people with arguments like yours. And I expect to do it. I do not advice, I expect that Russia does it because is logical, and is economically positive to get a return from the resale of these ships.
And do not worry very much, because a part of the mentioned projects of armament transport ships are quite new, and there are several more ordered and in production. Enough for future operation like this in the future.
Ok so now you know better then Ru Navy comanders if Ru navy need those ships or have some better assets?
How many classic cargo ships Ru navy have in that 523 au ships?
And how many of them could be taken from their daily missions and be sent to Syria
for years?
Who will do their job during this Syrian campain?
How many of them are big enought to be usefull in supplying Syria mission? Are you aware that Russia have to supply not only its forces in Syria, but SAA as well. You plan to supply several hundred thousands strong forces armed with thousands of tanks IFV and arty guns, hundreds of fighters and helicopters with 1000tonn ships that can make one trip per month ( or even less?)
Harbor tugs, Tenders, salvage and repair ships, Cranes,Hydrographic ships, Electronic Surveillance ship, training ships, specialized ships for missiles suplying, and all harbor sized ships and boats ... Those ships are majority of auxilarry fleet, and all of them are useless is Syria.
Ru Navy didnt have enought of cargo potential so they bought several ship to increase it. End of story.
And regarding resale, now there is huge number of ships for sale, as whole ship cargo industy is in huge crise and lot of huge companies are in bankrupcy or on brink of it. So now it is time for buy not for sell ships as resale prices are miserable. Russia could probly take advantage of that and buy several more, more modern and bigger ships. To increase its cargo potential as it plan to have bigger role in world politics.
