"The
Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard will test the MCM vessel`s dynamic and combat performance,
as well as the reliability and economy-in-use of its powerplant,"
a spokesperson for the company said. He added that SNSZ would check the
integrated navigational system, the advanced mine-searching hydroacoustic
station, the pieces of artillery and minesweeping equipment, the remote-controlled
unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), and other systems. "When
all types of the trials have been completed, the foreign customer`s committee
will accept the MCM vessel," the official added. A Project 10750E MCM vessel (NATO reporting name: Lida-class) has a length of 32.4 m, a width of 3.2 m, a draft of 1.75 m, a crew of 14 servicemen, an operational range of 650 mi, and an endurance of 5 days. It can withstand the Level 5 heaving. The first Project 10750E MCM vessel for Kazakhstan was laid down on July 31, 2014 and launched in October 2015. Astana is supposed to get the ship before the year-end.
