香港报纸报道，希腊政府已经为希腊海军出售其四艘俄制“野牛”ZUBR登陆舰给中国大陆放了绿灯。
ZUBR有五百余吨，是世界上最大的气垫船。巨大的船体最多可搭载3辆坦克和至少300部队并在海上航行数百英里，也可以布雷。
中国解放军海军已经装备了数艘ZUBR，最近数周前刚从乌克兰交付。中国ZUBR和俄罗斯原件的不同，采用了隐身版的AK-630火炮，一套Type364搜索雷达，以及中国自己生产的OFC-3光电火控装置。
在接受采访时，希腊海军发言人Kleftos Priapos证实了该出售的消息。
“由于ZUBR都在俄国或乌克兰建造，出售这些气垫船给中国，并不违反任何当前北约武器转让的规定，”Priapos在回答来自菲律宾记者的提问时表示。 “这是一个完全合法的转售，而且我们可获得所需要的资金。”
中国军方官员拒绝发表任何声明，但报告指出，第一艘新购买的ZUBR，编号为1337（原希腊海军Zakynthos），将在今年年底交付使用。

China to Get Former Greek Zubr Hovercrafts
2014/04
Greek government has given the green light for the Hellenic Navy to sell its four Russian-built Zubr landing ships to China, Hong Kong newspaper reported.
At more than five hundred tons, the Zubr is the world's largest hovercraft. The massive ships can carry up to three tanks and at least 300 troops over hundreds of miles of ocean, and can also lay mines.
The People's Liberation Army Navy already operates several Zubrs, with the most recent vessel delivered from Ukraine several weeks ago. Chinese units differ from the Russian originals, featuring a stealthy version of the AK-630 cannon, a Type 364 search radar, and the locally-produced OFC-3 optical fire control device.
Hellenic Navy staff spokesman Kleftos Priapos confirmed the sale in an interview.
"As the Zubrs were all constructed in either Russia or Ukraine, the sale of these hovercraft does not violate any current NATO rules against arms transfers to China," said Priapos in response to questions from Filipino reporters. "This is a perfectly legal transfer, and besides, we need the funds."
Priapos cut short the interview after several Filipino reporters became visibly agitated, sources report. It cannot be confirmed whether Priapos forcibly ejected the reporters for "rubbing him the wrong way" with aggresive questioning, as YouTube commentators have claimed.
Reports of the sale have alarmed many in the Philippines, which is embroiled in a fractious territorial row with China over the disputed Spratley Islands. Filipino troops are still involved in a rigid standoff with the Chinese military on the tiny Scarborough Shoal, which both countries claim.
Chinese military officials declined to release a statement, but reports indicate that the first of the newly purchased Zubrs, numbered 1337 (formerly the Zakynthos), will be delivered at the end of this year.

Zubr LCAC
Zubr is the world’s largest class of hovercraft. The Chinese navy placed an order for four craft at a reported cost of $315 million US dollars. Two were built by the Feodosiya Shipbuilding Company, and a second pair of vessels will be built in China under the supervision of Ukrainian technicians. The Zubr-class LCAC is a class of air-cushioned landing craft of Ukrainian design. This class of military hovercraft is the world's largest hovercraft. It is designed to sealift landing assault units from equipped/non-equipped vessels to non-equipped shores, as well as to transport and plant mines.
The Zubr hovercraft has a range of 483 kilometers at 55 knots and is capable of carrying 136 tonnes, including up to three medium tanks or 500 marines. Its top speed is more than 60 knots on land, water and ice, and it is capable of clearing obstacles 1.5 meters high. It has the carrying capacity for 3 main battle tanks with an overall mass of 150 tons or 10 armored personnel carriers weighing up to 131 tons plus 140 marines, or 8 infantry fighting vehicles with mass of up to 115 tons. If not equipped with armor, Zubr is capable of carrying 366 men.
Development of Zubr landing ships started in the former Soviet Union in 1978, and the first serial ship joined the Soviet navy in 1988. There were nine vessels of this class in active service around the world used by Russia, Ukraine and Greece. When Greece purchased four Zubr class hovercraft, it was the first time a Russian-built ship was owned by the navy of a NATO member. The hovercraft turned out to be more expensive to maintain than expected, and Greece retired two of them early so the parts could be used to keep the other two in service.
China's first Zubr LCAC hovercraft was built at the Feodosiya Shipbuilding Company in the Ukraine and adapted to Chinese needs so that no military weapons and electrical systems were installed. The first of four (LCAC) which was built for China was badly damaged in a construction accident in 2011. A cargo ship named HHL New York carries a Zubr-class LCAC hovercraft for the Chinese navy on the Zhujiang River in Guangzhou, capital city of south China's Guangzhou Province on Friday, May, 24, 2013. After a month long sea journey, an air-cushioned landing craft, Zubr-class LCAC built for the Chinese navy was delivered at Guangzhou, the capital city of south China's Guangzhou Provinc.
Ukraine turned over the second Zubr-class air-cushioned landing craft to China on 28 February 2014. China paid an estimated USD $80 million for each Zubr class LCAC. The first LCAC handed over in 2013 had already entered service in China.
The situation around Crimea risked disrupting the largest Ukrainian-Chinese warship building contract worth around $350 million, a source in the Ukrainian defense sector told Interfax 04 April 2014. Due to the events in Crimea, the implementation of the contract for construction of small Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) at the facilities of FSK More in Feodosia for China remains an open question, the source said.
"Despite the fact that Ukraine has successfully performed its part of the contract for construction of the first two ships at the facilities of FSK More, and has already handed them over to the customer, the question of China's payment for the second small LCAC shipped to China in early March remains open," the source said. "At the same time, the force-majeure will require additional agreements with China and, probably, with Russia too, over the format of further cooperation under the contract that includes construction of two more small LCACs in China with participation of Ukrainian specialists," the source said.
"Being a reliable international-cooperation entity in the sphere of military-technical cooperation, Ukraine confirms its obligations under the contract," the source said. "Regrettably, their performance is currently compounded" by the situation around Crimea, he said.
