Russia Scraps Plans for Stealth Warships As Ukraine War & Costs Dent Putin's Naval Ambitions

The Kremlin’s plan to build a series of stealth warships for the Russian Navy has been put on hold, as per reports. Project 20386 was aimed at constructing at least 10 corvettes based on the Steregushchiy and Gremyashchiy classes of the vessel. These warships were likely to be built larger and were meant to have a stealthier design. The lead ship of the class was laid down in October 2016 and it was expected to be completed in 2020. However, construction at the Severnaya Verf (Northern Shipyard) in St Petersburg has suffered significant delays. After the delays, the shipyard received the superstructure of one vessel, which was named Derzky, in July 2021. However, a Russian Defence Ministry source cited by TASS on July 7 says Derzkiy will remain the only corvette in the project. The source told TASS that no further construction of other vessels would take place.
