The USA offered Ukraine two old frigates
According to the commander of the Navy, this type of ships Ukraine needs for the future.
Ukraine received an offer from the United States to receive two Oliver Hazard Perry frigates, previously withdrawn from the US Navy, said Igor Voronchenko, commander of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Yes, indeed, we received a proposal to transfer two OliverPerry-class frigates, which were withdrawn from the US Navy in 2013-2015,” Voronchenko said on Channel 5.
According to him, Ukraine needs this type of ships for the future. “And now we are carefully studying all these proposals,” said the commander of the Ukrainian Navy.
“We directly calculate how we will accept them, in what condition, what is needed for this, how much they will cost. The annual operation of this type of frigate, taking into account the wages of the crew and its repairs, costs approximately $25 million. If we take global experience, the cost of a ship itself is 30% of its entire operational life. 60-70% is maintenance, modernization and disposal,” added Voronchenko.
Earlier it was reported that the leadership of the United States sent through the military attache of the US embassy a letter to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the provision of military technical assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including for the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On September 27, in the city of Baltimore (USA), two Island-type patrol boats were transferred to the Ukrainian Navy.
