"We are satisfied with the shipyard’s work. The trials are to be completed before the yearend and we hope they will be successful," Rakhmanov said.
After the trials, the ship will be delivered to the Russian Navy, he added. As Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said in July, shipborne systems are 97% ready and the state trials of the systems may be completed in the autumn of 2017. According to him, delays are of technical nature. |
