This is mainly because this huge ship will cost a lot of money if it is repaired, and its condition is very bad, so Ukraine urgently needs to get rid of it. The guided missile cruiser Ukraine was started in 1984. It was built by the famous Black Sea Shipyard in the Soviet Union and was used as an "aircraft carrier killer" against aircraft carriers and large warships. In 1991, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, 96% of the warship was built. Russia wanted to take the USS Ukraine, but then Ukrainian President kravchuk disagreed and put the warship into the ranks of the Ukrainian navy.
Ukraine has made it clear that it will dismantle this huge ship and sell it. On September 22nd, according to Red Star TV, the general manager of Ukraine National Defense Industry Group, Evalas Abromavicus, told the media that Ukraine will sell the "Ukraine" guided missile cruiser to the outside world. Considering that the state of this warship is extremely bad, it is impossible to reach the service state through repair. The Ukrainian side will dismantle this guided missile cruiser and sell it in the name of high-performance military steel.
Ukraine is one of the seven glorious guided missile cruisers of the Soviet Union. The Glorious General Company plans to build seven ships. However, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, only the USS Moscow, the USS ustinov and the USS Varyag are currently serving in the Russian Navy. These three guided missile cruisers are also the main force of the Russian Navy. The full-load displacement of the Glorious guided missile cruiser is as high as 12, tons, and eight p1 supersonic anti-ship missile launch boxes are installed on both sides of the bridge, which has become the most striking feature of the Glorious class. Sixteen anti-ship missiles have also given the Glorious class strong anti-ship firepower.
In 22, China thought about buying the Ukrainian. However, at this time, its temptation to our navy is not great. At that time, the Chinese navy was building destroyers 52B and 52C, and the radar and weapon system on board was comparable to that of the Ukrainian, or even more advanced. Because of this, the Ukrainian cruiser has been left in its birthplace and is aging.
