Sources said that all new vessels were built at shipyards located in the Black Sea region and on the Russian mainland. Military historian Dmitry Boltenkov has suggested that incoming ships may include small missile carriers (RTOs) such as Askold, Amur and Tucha of project 22800, and patrol ship Viktor Veliky of project 22160, built at the Zelenodolsk plant since 2016. .
Boltenkov stressed that these new additions will significantly increase the fleet’s offensive capability in the region. If NATO countries attack Russia, these ships will be able to hit targets on the southern flank of the alliance, thereby strengthening Russia’s defensive position in the Black Sea.
