Shipyards of United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) are capable to build Mistral-type carrier after obtaining specific technologies from France; however, selection of certain shipyard will be made upon receipt of application from Russian defense ministry, said Vice Premier Igor Sechin, top director of USC behind the scenes of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"United Shipbuilding Corporation and Russian shipyard participating in negotiations are basically capable to execute the order of defense ministry [to build the helicopter carrier] once such order is placed", Sechin said having added that the ministry had not set the task so far.

According to him, it is necessary to comprehend which details are essential for the defense ministry to be implemented in the project; afterwards, Russian shipyards will be assessed whether they are capable to take part in the project. As for Sechin, an option is also possible that "adequate foreign partner" (probably, French one) would be involved.

"Once we have a task from defense ministry it would be clear what they need. So we could react adequately – either execute by ourselves or call upon partners", concluded Sechin.
