“In 2020, the fleet will receive about 15 new warships and support vessels, three of which are carriers of the Caliber family of cruise missiles,” the statement said on the occasion of the 289th anniversary of the formation of the Pacific Fleet.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Nikolay Evmenov in a congratulatory telegram noted that the Pacific Fleet in the coming years will be strengthened by fourth-generation nuclear submarines, as well as frigates, corvettes and small missile ships.
“The submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet will be replenished with a series of six units of diesel-electric submarines of project 636.3, being built at the Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg,” he said.
In addition, it is planned to continue the modernization of large Project 1155 anti-submarine ships and multipurpose submarines.
Earlier, the Russian Navy reported that the Baltic Fleet will be replenished with a series of six Project 22800 small missile ships, some of which will be armed with Pantsir-M naval anti-aircraft missile and gun systems.
