Despite delays and problems, the Russians are slowly building up their modern frigate fleets. They are working on three separate classes for their main fleets (Not including the Caspian Flotilla that has a separate corvette).
Admiral Gorshkov Class FFG, 5,500 tons full load
(1 commissioned, 2nd fitting out, 3rd building)
12-15 vessels planned for Northern and Pacific Fleets to replace the sovs and Krivaks .
Admiral Grigorovich class FFG, 4,050 tons fuill load
(1 commissioning, 2nd fitting pout, 3rd building)
6 planned for Black Sea Fleet (These are the Russian version of the Talwar FFGs)
Steregushchy Class 2,200 tons full load.
(5 commissioned, 1 fitting put, 2 more building)
8 planned for Baltic fleet
They have built commissioned 7 vessels, have three fitting out, and four building.
This makes 14 FFGs commissioned, fitting out or building altogether, which is pretty good for the Russians given their circumstances...but they are not without problems with various systems.
But all of these designs are going to be capable vessels.

Now that's interesting: Russian Navy C-in-C said yesterday, officially, РИА:
}
That instead of additional Admiral Grigorovich frigates, after the third ship, because of unavailability of Ukraine-produced turbines, 18 (yes, eighteen) ships of Project 22800 will be built:

I can't find much on Project 22800 ... will be some modification of the Buyan Class, the first ship to be laid down in 2016 ... below 1000 tons
This reminded me I tried to prepare a post about Project 21632 ("Buyans for export" -- two for Kazakhstan)
Pretty exotic

Okay, guys, I have a question for you Russian Flanker buffs..
What will be the standard Russian Air Force paint scheme for the SU-35S. I am building a 1/72 scale model of the SU-35S and want to make sure it is painted appropriately.
I have seen a number painted in this Dark Blues scheme:
I have also seen others in a lighter gray scheme.
Will they use both? Which will be the standard?

Russia to sign final document on Mistral helicopter carriers within month — official
In the middle of June, a high-ranking official from the military and defense sphere told TASS that Russia still does not rule out the possibility that Mistral helicopter carriers will be delivered

Remember the new turret module on the BTR-82 displayed at the ARMY-2015 show?

I think this statement here, despite the paragraph at the end...is indicative that Russia will not be getting the vessels.
I would be surprised if they replaced the Gregorovich with these much smaller vessels. They have no helo facilities at all, where the Gregorovich have both a pad and hanger.That instead of additional Admiral Grigorovich frigates, after the third ship, because of unavailability of Ukraine-produced turbines, 18 (yes, eighteen) ships of Project 22800 will be built:
I would have expected that they would have replaced them with the Steregushchy class which they are already building for the Baltic Fleet and which do have the helo facilities.
Any takers/answers on my SU-35S question from above?Okay, guys, I have a question for you Russian Flanker buffs..
