Old news. I guess when your own ship design and building complexes can't handle the demand, that's the kind of ship that first gets displaced elsewhere. Even in the Cold War, a lot (most? all?) of Soviet amphibs were built by Poland anyway, so this is just an extension of it.

Significantly, the decision to buy the ship from France, rather than build it domestically, represents Moscow's acknowledgment of the pathetic state of Russia's domestic shipbuilding industry.

Sums it up I guess.

Will the ships have to be refit to accomodate the balalaika orchestra?

She's beautiful.

But if Russia still has the ability to launch ships into orbit, and the USA doesn't, are we regressing? I think you Americans need to have anouther revolution. I would support it.
