Russia to Go Ahead With Lavina Amphibious Assault Ship Project, Preliminary Design Completed

The Krylov State Research Center completed the preliminary design of the versatile amphibious assault ship for the Russian Navy, the center’s executive director, Mikhail Zagorodnikov, told TASS on Thursday. He also said there is "no doubt" the ship will be developped. The Lavina (Avalanche) project was first unveiled during the ARMY-2015 defense exhibiton.

"Krylov Central Scientific Research Institute is developing an alternative to the two Mistral LHDs. Avalanche will have a displacement of 24,000 tons, even more than the French ship" - a spokesman said at the time.

From last month: Russia will certainly use the "free" Mistral tech for these new Lavina class LHDs they're building.

He Who Laughs Last, Laughs Best: Russia Ended Up Getting Mistral Tech for Free
Military & Intelligence
14:12 13.05.2017(updated 18:54 13.05.2017)
The Russian-Egyptian deal on the sale of Ka-52K attack helicopters has reportedly reached the final stretch. Talks on the price of the choppers, to be used aboard Egypt's Mistral amphibious assault ships, are expected to begin later this month. Military expert Alexander Sitnikov explains how Russia ended up winning on the Mistral deal after all.

Analysts consider the Ka-52K Katran naval attack helicopters to be the optimal choice for Egypt's Mistrals because they were specifically designed to be carried aboard the French-made amphibious assault ships. French shipbuilders had built the two Mistral ships for Russia, but the deal fell through in 2015 amid deteriorating relations and pressure on Paris from Washington.

France agreed to sell its two formerly Russia-bound Mistrals to Egypt for €950 million ($1.06 billion) instead, and returned Russia's deposit on the vessels.

Russia’s Project 23900 LHD to be Able to Operate in the Arctic
Xavier Vavasseur 28 Aug 2020
Story by TASS Russian news agency
“Our two versatile amphibious assault ships are significantly different from those projects that were earlier planned on the basis of the French-made Mistral ships,” Mistakhov said.
“Taking into account that the ships will operate both in warm and northern seas, they will meet the requirements for the Arctic. They will be able to sail in ice-covered seas, being led by an icebreaker,” he added.
According to the Ak Bars Shipbuilding Corporation’s head, the Russian helicopter carriers surpass the French ships by principal dimensions.
