They have been successfully tested and are ready for transfer to the customer, said Viktor Polyakov, Deputy General Director of the United Engine Corporation
ST. PETERSBURG, June 23. /TASS/. The United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of the Rostec state Corporation) has developed an engine for the latest frigates of the project 20386. This was announced by the Deputy General Director of the corporation Viktor Polyakov in an interview with TASS on the eve of the start of the International Naval Salon (MVMS-2021).
"UEC has developed a modification of the M90FR engine, designed for installation on promising corvettes of the 20386 project. Two engines have been manufactured, successfully tested and are ready for transfer to the customer," he said.
It is assumed that the M90FR will become the basis for promising marine engines. In particular, the UEC is currently working on options for creating a 25 MW engine based on the M90FR.
The lead ship of the project 20386 was laid at the Northern Shipyard in 2016. Initially, it was given the name "Daring", but in 2019 the military decided to rename the corvette to "Mercury" - in honor of the Russian brig. The ship of the project 20386 is the most modern Russian corvette.
The full text of the article on the development of the Russian marine engine building will be published at 10: 00 Moscow time on the TASS website.
