MOSCOW - The Russian Navy is finally replacing its obsolete Project 266 Rubin fleet of minesweepers acquired during the Soviet era. The new Aleksandrit (Alexander)-class-class minesweepers (Project 12700) feature composite hulls. Moscow has approved the construction of eight new vessels.
The new ships will use remotely controlled boats, perhaps provided by a Western firm. ECA Group could provide its Inspector Mk 2 unmanned surface vessel (USV). The Russian Minstry of Defense might opt for a domestic company to build the USVs instead.
