Project 22800 corvettes will in the future be armed with ship-based air defense systems, specifically, Pantsir-M air defense missile/gun system, Vice-Admiral Victor Barsuk, Russian Navy Deputy Commander for armaments, said.

"The ship is highly upgradable and in the future will be outfitted with ship-based air defense systems like Pantsir-M," Barsuk specified.

very interesting is
3С-14В УКСК
which I think is a four-cell launcher, each cell to be quad-packed with "Klubs", for submarines (huge ones, like the Yasens) but I couldn't find much more than the picture from a factory:

The United Shipbuilding Corporation (OSK) will have the technological capabilities to build helicopter carriers and aircraft carriers starting from early 2019, OSK Director General Alexei Rakhmanov has told the Russia 24 TV broadcaster in an interview. "We will be prepared for helicopter carrier construction just like we are prepared for building aircraft carriers," he said.

"Speaking of the technological capabilities of aircraft carrier construction, we expect them, most probably, by early 2019 once the planned modernization has been completed. This will afford us a degree of preparedness enabling us to build superships, be them civil or military," Rakhmanov added.
...
He stressed that the manufacturer "has made a lot of efforts to fulfil as much of its defense procurement program as possible", but has been unable to fulfil 100% of it for a number of reasons. "First of all, this is due to a rather big number of lead ships we have to build. They are complex products, and much development work has to be performed first before they are built," he added.

Russia's OSK Shipyard to Have Technological Capabilities to Build Aircraft Carriers from 2019

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!

Russia's shipbuilding is in complicated situation (to say the least) with tons of new project running way late:
- Lada/Amur (677) SSKs
- Gorshkov frigate which head of class was laid down over 10 years ago
- The known issue of gaz turbines supply had the consequence of putting Project 11356 Grigorovich class frigates on hold
- Ivan Gren head of class (amphibious vessel) took over 10 years and still ongoing

And corvette sized vessel: A huge mess with several classes launched at the same time but all with more or less the same mission sets... each class having sub-classes which seems to change every year etc...

The only project that seem to do OK are based on existing designs:
- Project 636 Kilo SSK
- Project 11356 Grigorovich (Talwar) Frigates before the gas turbine issues
- Project 21631 Buyan corvettes
- And the new SSBN strategic fleet which seem to have priority nowadays (Borei program going smoothly and Bulava issues appear solved).
