Russia’s second Mistral-class, amphibious assault ship will be
complete in October 2014, a deputy prime minister in charge of the
defense industry said Sunday, adding that the first Mistral would enter
the nation’s fleet this October.
Speaking live on national television network NTV, Deputy Prime
Minister Dmitry Rogozin added that construction of the stern for the
first such helicopter-carrying warship would finish at St. Petersburg’s Baltiisky shipyard within two or three days.
Early last week, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said the stern
might not be completed within deadline, but Rogozin days later refuted
that remark, saying: “The ship will be ready on time.”
