Russian warships are seriously inadequate. Russian media suggested asking for help. China took a fancy to China.

World Wide Web Military 65438+1October 12 reported that the Russian newspaper Izvestia 10 claimed that the combat capability of the Russian navy had been affected due to the unsatisfactory progress of equipment update. In order to solve this problem, Russia must seek help from other countries. For various reasons, China is the most promising partner on this issue.

According to the report, the Russian navy has turned to foreign countries for help many times in its development history, and it began to turn to China for help on 20 14. At that time, the West imposed sanctions on Russia, and Germany refused to provide MTU 16V4000M90 diesel engine for Russia's new "Thug -M" class frigate. Therefore, Russian troops cooperated with China to replace German engines with China's CHD622V20 engines on the first five frigates.

At present, the Russian navy is facing a serious shortage of main warships. At present, only three new frigates are in service. According to the plan, there should be at least 9- 10 new frigates in service, and the cost far exceeds the original forecast. Based on this calculation, by 2020, the number of new frigates equipped by the Russian navy will be half less than originally planned.

According to the report, eight 056 class frigates and two 054A class frigates were in service in China last year, and the cost was much cheaper. Russia-China cooperation in this field can solve the problem of insufficient Russian warships. Russia can use China's hull and power system, as well as Russian weapons and electronic systems on the basis of China 054а class frigate.
