Ukrainian NAVY of were almost 20 years considered the weakest sort of Forces. Over the years one corvette and frigate entered into a line - up only. Bulk of ships of present, reached after the division of of the black Sea fleet of Soviet Union. Submarine force was not in Ukraine. An only submarine 18 years stood in repair dock. Coastal artillery of was present by 2 stationary batteries of caliber 130 and 210-mm and ASM " Malachite"
The unfinished was reached Ukraine aircraft carrier "Varyag" and cruiser of class Slava "Ukraine" (75% and 90% readiness), and also powerful shipyards, producing aerocarriers, cruiser, guard-ships, missile boats and landings hoverships. Unfortunately for next years without orders they almost lost skilled shots.
In the middle of 90th Ukraine offered to Russia to purchase for her "Varyag" and to finish building him in Mykolaiv. In of Russia of then there was also a heavy situation and she renounced. In 1998 he was purchased by China at price of scrap! Said to the whole world, that will do a floating casino. Since he began in 2005 him to finish building were invited to China the Mykolaiv shipbuilders.
Cruiser "Ukraine" is surplus powerful for the Ukrainian fleet ( he one consumes fuels as all Ukrainian fleet).
In 2010 was preliminary agreement with Russia about a sale to her cruiser, but then Kremlin renounced and offered him to pass to them free of charge.
The Ukrainian fleet long time "corroded" near moorages and required modernization. In 2009 the USA offered to Ukraine to pass to her 5 written-off American destroyer within the framework of entry of country in NATO.
A situation with a fleet changed in 2010, when the Ministrer of defence an admiral was appointed as. Ships began to pass repair. Submarine boat "Zaporizhzhya" entered into a line-up in May 2012.
As battle unit of she nothing substantial present. Her basic task, maintenance of the combat training of personnel of anti-submarine of and crews.
NAVY of Ukraine by present classes frigate corvette, missile boats. There have is Landing Ship, Tank, Zubr class LCAC. Aviation a patrol and anti-submarine.
In June, 2011 the first Ukrainian heavy corvette (project 58250) was laid up Displacement (2500 tone), hardly anymore corvette, armament and supply of motion as at a frigate. In 2012 there was laid up 2 ships. Descent on water of the first ship is expected in 2015. For today Ukraine does not produce a ship armament and helicopters of of similar type, therefore all of it will be put from France and Italy. A supply contract armament for four corvettes was is signed in 2010 . Everything it is planned to accept in a line - up 10 such corvettes.
A coastal defensive will increase cruise missiles from mobile complexes "Sapsan".

This BRDM-2 variant is actually a Polish vehicle. It is a modified Polish BRDM-2 (M-96 I think) with typical Polish Land Forces camouflage and sign used on all of our military vehicles seen on hull front.

I think that this photo was even done on one of MSPO in Kielce.

Yes of course, I wrote that Ukraine develops the missile of air DEFENCE, but nothing was accepted on an armament. From below Russian complex, from above Polish, in the middle Belorussian. I am yet German, where "Stinger" and "Igla" is transferable the Ukrainian missile.

Poland produces "Igla" independently, but the Ukrainian complexes - on Polish BRDM- 2, it is a simply new generation of missile.
P.S. By the way, Polish experts together with their Ukrainian counterparts modernize the Polish system S-125 "Dvina"

Akim, Poland do not manufacture "Igla" nor "Strela", we are manufacturing our own missile "Grom" (Thunder), it looks similiar to Igla/Strela from the outside, but inside is a very different, more modern design.

Grom (ПЗРК) — Википедия

Grom (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grom (Thunder) -this complex more modern in digital against. But descriptions for her as at "Igla", - because it modernized by Polish designers "Igla"
His descriptions below what at 9К338 "Igla - SM", but higher what at 9К38 "Igla"

Thanks Akim for sharing wonderful pictures of Ukrainian army. Ukraine back in 1992 was the third biggest nuclear power after US and Russia...sometimes I feel that Ukraine did a mistake by signing START in 1992 due to which they had to transfer all the nukes to Russia to dismantle....

And why does it need to Ukraine?. Not only it is expensive in maintenance, so will cause a disbalance. A nuclear weapon is a factor of inhibition. He can be applied against an adversary, possessing the same technologies. And Europe so populous, that here Large caliber MLRS, can not shoot on grounds. For us even such kinds as MLRS "Smerch", tactical missiles, "Tochka-U" and S-200, work off firing only on trainers. For the defensive of the territory Ukraine has enough forces and facilities and so. And large-scale is impossible battle actions in Ukraine. For us 4 working NPP (one of them the greatest in Europe) and one shut-down. And will hook suddenly?
