don't have an access to the rest of the source, but found these two pictures in Twitter:Russia's first Pacific-built Project 20380 light frigate has set out on sea trials, 12 years after the vessel was first laid down and 4 years late.
The ship, named Sovershenny (hull number 2101), has put to sea with a mixed naval crew and workers from the Amur Shipyard (ASZ) where it was built to test its propulsion, steering, communications, navigation, and ancillary systems, stated the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet.
Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD)-controlled Zvezda TV showed the ship firing its 100 mm main gun during sea trials on 1 February.
Sovershenny is the first warship built by ASZ in 50 years, according to the Moscow-based Centre for Analysis of Strategy and Technologies (CAST).

that ship was laid down in 2006, while the sanctions were imposed in 2014, so there's also something else to blame LOL!All of them economic sanctioning by the US and EU are killing the Russian military programs!
... and it's how it is with the "new Gauntlets", they say (and show) in... the first Missile Regiment was equipped with "new Gauntlet" ...
in the Soviet model, as far as I know a Missile Regiment would consist of four batteries, each of four machines

well I watched the vid fromWhat did I just watch lol? I have never seen a vehicle like that? Look's like a maintenance nightmare during time of war/ winter?
again now, as I recalled they had said the vendor promised a new version for the Arctic to be ready ... but I didn't remember 'when to be ready' (LOL they indeed said that (promised to be ready "already this year"), but only in the end of that vid)
