About the destroyer
That ship has a huge tower. Will it get stability problems? The sole picture of the second destroyer doesnt match the model in the vídeo. Are there 2 designs?
Its the first time i have seen that the leader class destroyer will have 12000t. In wikipedia its 10000t. Where did you get that number?
This article says nothing about tonnage, but talks about nuclear or turbine propulsion, and completion no earlier than 2023/2025
Also, the carrier
The model in that video is huge. Its the size of a supercarrier. Does russia have a fleet to escort it? Does it even have the expertise to built it, taking into account that it hasnt built anything bigger than a frigate since the end of SU?
This is an article that talks about the future russian carrier. It mentions two sources about completion date. One states that it will be done before the end of 2025. Another states that it will be after 2030. Strange.

you can check what will be packed into about 2000 tons of displacement -- a moment ago I found out about the keel laying: of the next ship of
that's what I call Warship!
EDIT
... but I've realized they're classified as Small Patrolling Ships
(МАЛЫЕ СТОРОЖЕВЫЕ КОРАБЛИ)
anyway, you can check pictures etc. at

my first impression is that's more than the number of anti-submarine ships (I mean the powerful ones, with hull-mounted sonar!) Western Navies are building

My impression is a bit over-armed for 2,000 tonnes corvette, with Hangar for Ka-27 Helicopter as well.
Imagine what life condition on board for 90 sailors, cramped

well, some other Baltic Sea Navy is building Frigates which are not "over-armed", aren't they?: in 7200 tons, one 5" gun and two Harpoon canisters https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/european-military-news-views.t4395/page-33#post-327626

I wondered about the current status of "improved Steregushchy-class" partly described (and more correctly called) in
and (less correctly called) in
so I searched Russian Internet, went through lengthy discussions under
and it seems more powerful engines were needed (more than 10 m longer hull), ordered from Germany (the doesn't show the particular 5900 kW model I found at the Russian website though, which of course doesn't mean anything), and ... fell under 2014 sanctions ... the building of (numbers at the shipbuilder) 1005 and 1006 has been suspended and it was most recently announced they would get the same (weaker) Russian engines 16Д49 as their Project 20380/1 predecessors (4400 kW which is the power of more than 5898 horses I also found out the fuel consumption would correspond to about 21 tons per 24 hours
P.S. The propulsion is CODAD with four of these engines.

These are typical coastal defense ships . They were not designed for long cruises but for short "sorties" lasting few days , performing raids on enemy shipping or installations in vicinity of their base, and then returning to port .
