Russia will offer its newest corvettes – armed with battle-proven Kalibr cruise missiles – to foreign customers, including China, India and Vietnam, the deputy prime minister said unveiling a range of other military novelties.
Cutting-edge Karakurt-class corvettes, capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles, may be exported to a number of Asia-Pacific countries, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov has announced on Monday. “These ships are pretty good, they have large displacement and are well-armed,” Borisov was quoted by RIA Novosti, adding, “Kalibr is what makes the difference.”
The 800 ton-displacement vessel, which comes “at an affordable price,” is small in size and can move at high speeds, the official explained. Ships of this class might be of interest to China, India or Vietnam, along with other countries, according to him.
