I'd say close to 8-10 for a vessel like those shown if they are going to be built in Russia.Nice models, but it will be at least five years until the Russian get an operational LHD
Lots of talk on Russian Blogs, but as they say “talk is cheap”. Personally the Russian LHD and Carriers will struggle as sanctions Drag Economy Down.
I'd say close to 8-10 for a vessel like those shown if they are going to be built in Russia.
They had a great chance with the Mistrals...but the decisions made regarding Ukraine (whether you agree with them or not...and that is NOT the purpose of this post for others reading it...to get into a Ukraine discussion here)...ultimately caused the Russian Navy to lose that opportunity. That business arrangement would have ultimately had the Russians building a couple of the vessels themselves.
Now, without that technology transfer and experience, they are going to have to take 3-4 years in developing the expertise themselves (if they can in the current economic environment) and then another 3-4 years building, launching, and commissioning one.
Like I say...a minimum of 8-10 years out.
