(it's not official, but reasonable)
claims 72 submarines and 210 surface combatants (OK including minesweepers, landing vessels) to be in service with the Russian Navy; it also gives the breakdown into (just saying for those who don't read Cyrillic)
the Baltic Fleet, under Балтийский флот
the Black Sea Fleet, under Черноморский флот
the Northern Fleet, under Северный флот
the Pacific Fleet, under Тихоокеанский флот
the Caspian Flotilla, under Каспийская флотилия

the oldest vessel I noticed (the last column shows the commissioning year) is as old as me LOL

That first pic mkaes my point.

The russian ships, except for one, are all old Cold War designs.

The only one that is not if a corvette sized, or small frigate sized vessels.

Whereas all of the chinese ships are new, modern, and capable.

Now, the Russians ships shwon there are still powerful vessels. But they do not have stealth designed into their hulls and they are simply old designs. As old or older than the US Spruance class...which ave all been completely decommissioned and either sunk or taken to the breakers.

Russia launches trials of second Yasen-class nuclear-powered submarine

The second Yasen-class nuclear-powered submarine, the Kazan, is currently undergoing trials and will go to sea before the yearend, Mikhail Budnichenko, the head of Sevmash Shipyard, said on Friday.

"The submarine Kazan is on the quay. Its trials have started and the submarine is expected to go to sea this year," Budnichenko said

The Yasen-class multirole nuclear-powered submarine Kazan is the second submarine in the series and the first submarine built under the upgraded Project 885M.

The submarine was laid down by the Sevmash Shipyard in 2009 and floated out in March 2017. It is expected to join the Northern Fleet in 2018. The Northern Fleet already operates the lead submarine Severodvinsk.

The submarine is designed to destroy hostile submarines and surface ships and attack naval bases, ports, groups of ships and other targets.

The submarine is armed with the Oniks (NATO reporting name: SS-N-26 Strobile) and Kalibr (SS-N-27 Sizzler) cruise missiles and torpedoes.

In all, seven Yasen-class submarines are planned to be built by 2023.
