Boat sets for the Marines
6 resque boats and additional components for them aimed at evacuating wounded marines of the 35th, 36th, 38th Marine Brigades, who are performing combat missions on the left bank of the Dnipro near Krynky
Stages of the project
The issue
The Marines now need resources to maintain a bridgehead on the Dnipro left bank and evacuate the wounded to the right bank of the river for qualified medical care without delay.
The Ukrainian soldiers have been trying to force the Dnipro for a long time, and although the blewing up of the Kakhovska HPP slowed them down, it could not stop them. For a long time, information about these operations was limited, but now it is known that the Ukrainian forces have been holding a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro in the Kherson region for several months. On February 6, it was recorded that the marines raised the Ukrainian flag on the water tower in Krynky.
Solution
In the absence of pontoon crossings, under heavy fire from the enemy drones, the only possible means of transporting people are small boats. Various watercraft are used for operations on the Dnipro left bank and evacuations from there. Often these are RIB, PVC boats, and their engines.
The following factors should be taken into account when choosing the watercraft:
- the load capacity
- the weight of the boat itself
- the ability to develop the necessary speed
- engine volume
- and, most importantly, the specifics of the tasks to be performed on it.
After discussion with the Brigades it was decided to purchase 4 sets of HD460M boats with MERCURY M40MLH engines and 2 sets of Whaly 350 boats with HONDA BF50 LRTZ engines.
