Edition Диалог.UA. decided to remind our readers that it represents the above mentioned weapons and how can it protect the banks of Ukraine from Russian attacks from the Black and Azov seas.
American patrol boats Mark VI have a length of 25.8 metres and a width of 6.2 meters. They can reach speeds from 30 to 41 of the node, and when sailing to a distance of 600 miles – 30 knots. These ships will be installed anti-ship missiles such as BGM-176В Griffin.
These missiles have a length of 110 cm and a launch weight of about 20 pounds, and range from the complex is 20 kilometers. They started to produce in 2008.
They do not become competitors similar to the Ukrainian complexes “Neptun”, because their performance characteristics and purpose are very different from each other.
So, the American complex will cover the coastal zone of Ukraine, while the Ukrainian “take aim at” all the Black sea.
However, this gun will help our country to withstand a much more powerful fleet.
