The "Kingisepp Machine-Building Plant" (KMZ) has successfully completed the repair and testing of a large batch of M500 type ship engines for the Ministry of Defense and the Border Service of the FSB. This was reported by the company's press service.
The M500 star-shaped marine diesel engine is the heart of the Navy's warships. These engines operate on small missile and small anti-submarine ships, minesweepers, border and customs vessels – these are ships of the fleet of law enforcement agencies, the Ministry of Defense and the FSB Border Service.
M500 type engines are widely used on military and state vessels. These units are installed on many Soviet-built ships, including Projects 1241 Molniya, 1234 Ovod, and 1124 Albatross. In addition, M500 engines are used on modern Project 20800 Karakurt-class corvettes and Project 12700 Alexandrite-class minesweepers.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the development of low-speed engines for large-capacity vessels will be established at USC.
