Union of Officers of Ukraine: Erdogan will give submarines - we will drown everything Russian in the Black Sea!
Turkey could transfer to Ukraine old Project 208 submarines, which are being written off for scrap by Ankara. Yevgeniy Lupakov, Chairman of the Union of Officers of Ukraine, stated this at the round table in Kyiv “NATO and the national security of Ukraine: past, present and future,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“They are decommissioning 24 submarines. And back in 2005, I went to sea on a Turkish submarine, which the Americans handed over to the Turks back in 1945. After 60 years, the submarines were still in excellent condition. And when I now came to the Turkish submarine, it was in excellent condition. And they write her off.
So why can’t the Turks convey to us today, as the Americans once conveyed to them? Why can't Germany and other NATO members give us these submarines? If we had five submarines, there would be no threat from the sea today. There is no force at sea today more terrifying than submarines.
The same 208 project, it submerged and sits under water without surfacing. In a week you can walk the length and breadth of this Black Sea, melting everything that is Russian in the Black Sea.
Therefore, we need to raise the issue with the authorities and turn to Turkey, let them not waste money in vain, but give us these submarines, which they are cutting for scrap metal,” Lupakov said.
