Its hardly a big secret that their Ivan Rogoff class assault ships for the Naval infantry are out of date, i think theyve only got one left and theyre looking for replacements.
This cuts out development time and expense, and as has been pointed out while Russian shipbuilding has some good areas its generally got its hands full modernising old hulls that have been allowed to rot for 20 years.
Although i'm always going to get a laugh out of the story about pirates in the china sea who assaulted what they thought was a cargo ship and found out it was an Ivan Rogoff class ship and 3000 rather miffed Russian marines were on board
