State Duma Deputy from the Crimea Ruslan Balbec commented on the statement of the commander of naval forces of Ukraine Vice-Admiral Igor Voronchenko on neobhodimosti to guard against Russian submarines. Balbec found the words Voronchenko evidence of “deep ignorance of the tactical situation.”
“It’s a myth, populism and dust in the eyes of taxpayers”, — quotes the Deputy of RIA “news”.
Recall Voronchenko said that it is necessary to repair the Corvette “Vinnitsa”, which is already 40 years in service. Also, according to him, Ukraine “is needed anti-submarine ships”.
Balbec said that the anti-submarine ships will not reflect the impact of cruise missiles launched from submarines.
“Who green Ukrainian Admiral is going to find and catch in the Black sea?”, said Balbec, noting that Russian submarines can hit ships with 300 meters and ground targets with 1.5 thousand meters.
“What anti-submarine lines he was going to build near the territorial waters of Ukraine?” the MP said.
According to him, the Ukrainian military command, apparently, still believes that the submarine come to the order to the distance of the line of sight to the object was seen through the periscope.
