So this will be 14th and the last one even though 30 were originally planned.
Do we know what they plan to build in place of this class?![]()

I have had a close look and I can't tell if it is a short barrel grenade launcher or a rifle calibre gatling gun... it looks quite short for its diameter so I am thinking grenade launcher of perhaps 40mm calibre or a 4 barrel rifle calibre GSh-7.62 like that fitted to the Ka-29 troop helo.

Last paragraph of the linked article:
"Thus, the total number of built or under construction RCPS of project 22460 is currently 14 units, of which 13 have been commissioned and one is under construction. According to unofficial information, the Border service of the FSB of Russia is not very satisfied with the characteristics of the project 22460, which is why, apparently, its construction will not continue, and instead, in 2016, the construction of the project 10410 PCR (code "Firefly") in a modernized appearance will be resumed."

It's obvious here, they want a bigger main gun, in 76.2mm caliber, specifically the AK-176MA main gun which will allow it to hit surface targets 6 times farther.
