“Metinvest” group handed over a batch of boats to the amphibious units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for conducting naval operations.
The Armed Forces received 10 high-speed RIB boats of 9-11 meters, 12 trailers for their operational transportation and 800 self-inflating life jackets, “Metinvest” reported.
The total cost of the batch of equipment is about UAH 53 million.
RIB boats are high-speed boats with inflatable sides and a thick bottom. Thanks to their design, these watercraft do not require special mooring equipment, which facilitates their operation in extreme conditions.
Specialized trailers allow boats to launch directly from the coast, without involving additional means of unloading such as a crane.
The boats accommodate 10-12 people. The ships will be used by the Defense Forces for amphibious operations in the Black Sea.
