Vladimir Putin – If Russia Decides to Purchase French Helicopter Carrier It will be Used Wherever Deemed Necessary
If Russia decides to purchase French helicopter carrier it will be used wherever deemed necessary. Russian news agency ‘Itar-tas’ reports that Primer of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin stated about it on the press conference held during his official visit to France. Russian news agency ‘Itar-tas’ reports that Primer of RF Vladimir Putin stated about it on the press conference held during his official visit to France.
On the question of French journalist, if Mistral would be used against Georgia, Putin answered: ‘I can assure you that if we purchase the armament, we’ll use it wherever deemed necessary.’
Russian news agencies inform that Russia plans to purchase a ‘Mistral’ type craft and four helicopter carriers. It will happen if France gives license to Russia and provide with technical aid.
If the deal takes place, French may sell helicopter carrier without armament and radar to Russia. Price of the helicopter carrier is from 400-500 mln. Euros. Russia will also get license to produce four vessels, what will increase the deal price by 1-1.2 milliard Euros.
Russian agencies write that Ukraine, Baltic states and Georgia expressed concern over the Russian-French deal.
Georgia’s Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze stated that Georgia is deeply concerned over the presumable purchase by Russia as basement of such vessels can only be Black Sea.
‘Results may be disastrous. It’s interesting why Russia needs such landing vessel?’ Vashadze stated.
Laliashvili explains that head of the Russian-marine fleet, Visotsky stated that if Russia had such crafts, black see fleet would accomplish its task during last year war against Georgia in 40 minutes and not in 26 hours.
According to one version, Russia needs the crafts for the security of the minerals gained at the continental shelf of the Arctic.
‘Mistral’ is a universal landing craft uniting functions of a helicopter carrier and a ship-doc.
