"In
accordance with the contract, the ships are expected to be delivered
to the Russian Navy before the end of 2020," the press office
said.
According to the press office, the contract has been signed as part
of the 2020 state armament program.
As the press office said, the Project 23550 vessel will feature the
characteristics of a tug boat, an ice-breaker and a patrol ship.
The Project 23550 patrol ship will be able to negotiate an ice cap of
up to 1.5 meters thick, the press office added.
Russian Navy Deputy Commander-in-Chief Vice-Admiral Alexander Fedotenkov
said in early January that there were plans to lay down "a principally
new Project 23550 ice-class patrol ship" in 2016.
