Core group of strategic non-nuclear deterrence forces (SNA) to the Navy in 2020 will amount to multipurpose nuclear submarines (SSNs), Project 885 nuclear-powered surface 949 and cruisers Project 11442, told reporters on Wednesday, Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Viktor Chirkov .

Head boat project 885 is a submarine "Severodvinsk", which will be put into service in 2013. Multipurpose Project 949 - this is the third generation of submarines, one of these boats was sunk in 2000 submarine "Kursk".

Currently, the only being in the battle of the Navy cruiser Project 1142 is "Peter the Great", but money allocated for the modernization of the other ship of this project - the "Admiral Nakhimov".

"The basis of the group of forces SNA Navy, equipped with long-range precision weapons, in the medium term will make nuclear submarine project 885M, modernized nuclear submarine project 949M and heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Project 11442" - said Chirkov.

Batch production of prospect aircraft carriers will start in Russia after 2021, and construction of fifth-generation strategic nuclear-powered subs will begin after 2030, said Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief ADM Viktor Chirkov.

"In the period of 2021–2030, combat capability of general-purpose naval force should be enhanced by batch production of prospective aircraft carriers, fourth-generation nuclear-powered attack submarines, multipurpose seagoing and littoral-zone warships", reports RIA Novosti citing Viktor Chirkov.

Presently, Russian Navy operates only one aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov. Chirkov pointed out that mass production of fifth-generation strategic subs would begin after 2030.

"In 2021-2030, along with keeping on scheduled replacement of overaged ballistic missiles submarines with new fourth-generation ones, it is necessary to kick off works on prospective fifth-generation strategic submarines, and to launch their mass production after 2030", Chirkov said.

As for him, Russian Navy now operates third-generation nuclear-powered subs that will be replaced with Borei- and Yasen-class fourth-generation submarines by 2020.

At the same time, Chirkov pointed out that Russian Navy command was planning to launch batch construction of unmanned submarines and sea robots after 2020.

"After 2020, we anticipate a shift to large-scale production of stand-alone unmanned submarines and sea-based robot systems, development of special sea bottom equipment deployed from various underwater platforms", he said.

Life span was increased by 3.5 years (on top of existing lifespan as I understand)

Interesting updates from Zvezdochka- they have an order for overhaul and modernization of the entire "Bars" (971) fleet.

Now this we already knew, but they also got contract for work on the two titanium Baraccudas (945). Looks like these ships are here to stay.
This will require part of yard to be modernized and overhauled (work already started).

Most certainly they would have Sineva or Likely Liner SLBM

The Bars upgrade looks promising even if they manage to upgrade 8-10 Bars to 971M standard which should keep the BARS going for 10-12 years then they have time for the new 5th gen SSN to take shape.

945 upgrade is most interesting I never thought they would be upgraded as they are old and its really a pain to deal with titanium

what about victor III and sierra class?

MOSCOW, January 3 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian Navy will get over 50 new warships by 2016, including strategic nuclear submarines and special operations support vessels, the Defense Ministry reported on Thursday.

“By 2016, the combat strength of the Navy will be replenished with 18 surface warships of various ranks and designation, and also 30 special-purpose and counter-subversion vessels. It is also planned to put 6 multi-purpose and strategic submarines into operation,” the ministry said in a statement.

The quality of new generations of surface warships and submarines being built for the Russian Navy will improve with stronger state acceptance control at the shipyards involved in the Navy’s shipbuilding program, the statement said.

“The implementation of the shipbuilding program envisages serial construction along with the introduction of new technical and modernization solutions into each subsequently built warship,” the statement said.

Russia is currently in the middle of a huge rearmament program, with $659 billion to be spent on arms procurement by 2020, according to the Defense Ministry.

Russian defense industry is not standing still. This was reported today by the press service of the military-industrial complex. And in support of this statement on the establishment of the Navy torpedo fifth generation of "Clematis". True it clear that while there is only the development of a torpedo, but they will be made, perhaps only four years later.

The official report also pointed out that "before the end of 2017, it is planned to complete the development to create torpedoes" physics ", to make small anti-submarine torpedoes and sonar suppression device code" Beryllium "based torpedo carrier."

After three years in Gelendzhik on the Black Sea, on the basis of one of the research institutions, is expected to create year-round multi-purpose deep-sea testing ground for weapons. For comprehensive full-scale tests under conditions as close as possible to the performance, you need a year-round deep-sea testing ground for all types of naval weapons. This is also important for guaranteed performance characteristics is adopting models of naval underwater weapons.

In addition such a polygon allows the demonstration of weapons and military equipment to customers, including foreign ones. This increases the competitiveness of the Russian naval arms on the world market. Now in Russia there is no deep-sea profile landfill operating in the year round, and the manufacture of torpedoes the fourth generation of the "physics", "Kant-3M" and development of fifth generation missiles like "Clematis" under the state program requires suitable tests.

I think it is safe to say at this point the 2020 date for 8 boats will not be met.
