The interlocutor of the agency said that the improvement of missile weapons reduces the number of missiles on board, while maintaining the combat potential of the ship.

“Due to this, and also due to the change in architecture, the Arcturus will have 20% less displacement than modern missile carriers,” he said.

The interlocutor of the agency predicted the replacement of the Borey-A missile carriers by the ships of the new project "not earlier than the second half of the century."
