Russia is not waiting for the French Mistral warships. He intends to take a building like.
When it comes to order from France, Russia is now only interested in negotiations on the amount of compensation for undelivered landing craft and at the same time helikopterowce. He told about this, quoted by Tass agency, deputy head of the military-industrial commission Oleg Boczkariow.
He added that Russian ships will not be an exact copy of the French Mistral.
France did not provide Russia Mystras, because considered that it would be politically unacceptable at a time when Russia is involved in the conflict in Ukraine and threatens French allies with NATO and the EU.
An important role in the failure to implement the order by the French played a Polish opposition. France takes part in Polish tenders for weapons, initially won already one of them (multi-purpose helicopters).
Two Mistral had cost Russia 1.2 billion. Recently it seemed that Moscow would most likely be satisfied with the refund of the paid sum will not be provided while reportedly demanded (concealed) contract damages. Boczkariowa words that can not be otherwise.
