Project 2300 i cant see being built any time soon, the docks in the north are not done yet and plus they keep sinking money into the kuznetsov.
right now they are being ambitious by having the LPH program which is a good thing, now they have the escorts in the form of the new frigates and corvettes.
personally before they make a commitment to a CV they really need a new DDG program one thats realistic and achievable something i always felt the lider class was not.
as for the cruisers like i say about the USN they need to be phased out, the Slava and Kirovs are money pits and those funds could be used elsewhere in a more practical sense.
other than that they do need to build more Yasen class id put the number around 30 and have them more multi mission like the virginias thus they can then eventually phase out the Project 949's
What they are doing with the borei is also a good thing 10 boats all of one class means maintinance and crew commonality will be cheaper than a plethora of classes like before.
id also say they are doing well with the project 636.3 and should focus on the upgrades of these boats to encompass new technologies like AIP and towed array systems to enhance the boats capabilities the 636 and preceeding 877 are solid designs and they will last another 30 years i rekon.
