Russia and the United States have again traded weapons threats.
current progress in replenishing the Navy (the entire Navy, not just the Baltic Fleet) is still far from meeting the targets set and existing requirements. The latest large surface ship to join the Navy has been the frigate Yaroslav Mudry, built as Project 1154. The construction of this vessel, the second in its class, took 20 years and it was not commissioned for service until 2009.Among the latest ships, there is one new Project 20380 corvette, which has been completed, and four more under construction scheduled to become operational in the next few years. Then there are Project 22350 frigates, which are larger and more powerful. The type ship of this series - Admiral Gorshkov - was laid down in 2006 and is to join the ranks in 2011. In 2009, construction began of a second ship, Admiral Kasatonov.
With new diesel submarines, things are not any more positive. The type submarine of Project 677, undergoing trials since 2006, has still not been accepted
