The Gulf shipyard in Kerch (Crimea) has started building helicopter carriers, TASS reports, citing a source in the Russian military-industrial complex.

According to the source, we are talking about the formation of the hulls of universal landing ships (UDC). The source added that the construction is being carried out taking into account the experience gained in the creation of French helicopter-carrying ships of the Mistral type.

The displacement of each of the UDC will be 30 thousand tons. According to the source, one such ship will be able to transport, in particular, up to one thousand marines and 16 helicopters.

"The terms of their transfer to the fleet do not change. They should be transferred within the framework of the current state armament program, calculated until the end of 2027, " the source concluded.

In January, The Drive wrote that Russia should abandon its only aircraft carrier — the "cursed" Admiral Kuznetsov, focusing on building a pair of new UDC.

In July 2020, Russia [...] laid down six warships at once, in particular, in Kerch — UDC (helicopter carriers) "Ivan Rogov" and " Mitrofan Moskalenko "of the project 23900"Priboy".
