Default Russian Navy news.

While Russian Navy suffers a readiness pit (with many ships in repairs) and the Ukrainian crisis brings delays in the surface ship production (gas turbines for pr. 11356 and 22350 Frigates) there are some positive news out there too.
For example:

Today, 7 more (for the total of 15) Severodvinsk class SSGNs were confirmed to be in the plans for the Russian Navy at this time.

Also, a new LHD would replace the (now presumed lossed for Russia) Mistral class, albeit smaller Russian Navy plans to procure up to 4 of those vessels.
