But that's the thing. Baltic AFAIK would not be building the Leader since they lack the facilities to do so. The Leader is basically as large as an aircraft carrier with like 70,000 tons displacement, and the Project 22220 is basically as large as an LHD with 34,000 tons displacement. Baltic cannot build ships as large and the initial Leader ship is being built at Zvezda.

The first Leader will take propably more time to build and test than the extra Arktika ships.
That´s why they will build more of the proven design. Better than stopping after 5 Arktikas
and wait a few years until Leader is ready for "mass" production.

Bingo.
De facto I consider this statement as the opposite to what they tried to deliver.
Russia needs an atomic icebreakers fleet running at full steam, ASAP.
Lider is a breakthrough and will require long testing and improvements for sure, so you can't have them in numbers soon.
And they need them in numbers because NSR must be operational.
That is why the number of Arctica class has been increased. To be ready soon, not in 2030.
