dozen years from launch to commissioning the Gorshkov (still hasn't happened), but babbling about nuclear powered destroyers etc.
with recent pictures ofnow I noticed, in an uninteresting story about installing generators and furnitureon the Admiral Kasatonov , they said like there're still eight (8) Project 22350 ships to be commissioned until the end of 2020 according to the current version of the State Armaments Plan
yeah, time will tell
now I checked Russian wiki page and it gives factory numbers for "the last four":

Yeah, Russia is really having some serious issues with fielding new ships for its navy. To be frank, I don't think anyone seriously believed that Russia could ever field the so called Liders class and Shtorm class carrier. Even if it could, it definitely won't be happening for the next 20 years.
The Admiral Gorshkov is a good frigate without a doubt. Maybe even the best in its weight class. But it will lack the numbers necessary to make an impact.
In all honesty Russia should pitch the idea of co-producing the next line of frigates with China. Makes some sense in that China is seeking for a substantial upgrade from the Type 54A, and at least Russia can be assured a steady production line.
Otherwise, it is most likely a very drawn out an painful future for the Admiral Groshkov.

Why doesn't the Russians induct the Brahmos missile into their arsenal, after jointly developing it with 50-50 partnership with India?? What are some reasons?
Brahmos is purported to be the "Best and fastest cruise missile" in the world by Indians, so if this is the case, why is Russia not using the "Best and fastest" cruise missile in the world?

The Russians do have their versions of Brahmos in the P-800 Oniks or Yakhont for export. Any serious buyer could even get it if they really wanted to. The Indians like to exaggerate the ability of the Brahmos into some sort of super weapon. Again, like the KALI or MALI, it is not a superweapon. Although Brahmos is one of the fastest AShMs it does come at the cost of reduced range, size, weight, and expense. So if one properly analysed it, one will see that the missile offers very little advantage over others supersonic missiles for too many disadvantages. This is the main reason why other capable countries do not even bother with an equivalent. Even the Russians have not replaced all their AShM with their P-800. In fact, it is such a small part of their naval arsenal for the reasons listed.
Having said that, there is promise in this sort of propulsion for future missiles. Engineers will just need to find ways to add range and reduce size to these near hypersonic guided weapons.
