Ok yes but it's a modernization. They don't build new units and surface navy units. Zviezda is very busy, so in this decade they probably won't be building ships for the navy probably.
I dont think so at all because this decade has just begun.
I see future of RN this way;
1. Multipurpose nuclear submarines (Sevmash); 12 or 24 885/885 submarines if they decide not to built cheaper 545A class. This will be accomplished by the end of next decade. No less than 24 submarines.
2. Diesel-powered submarines (Admirality shipyard); 12 for Pacific fleet, 6 677 Lada class for Northern fleet, 6 636.3 for Black sea (those will be replaced in the early 2040's with new ones) and no less than 6 submarines for Baltic fleet. This will be accomplished by the 2035.
3. Aircraft carriers (Zvezda, Sevmash, Baltic) ; NONE, if they ask me but if thez decide to build them then 2 for Northern and 2 for Pacific fleet. No less then 3 of them could be built and commissioned before 2050 and fourth could be launched within that period.
4. Large amphibious ships (Zaliv) ; 2 for Northern and 2 for Pacific fleet. This will be accomplished by the 2035 or before 2040.
5. Nuclear powered destroyers (Zvezda, Baltic and even Sevmash); 4 for Northern and 4 for Pacific fleet. Those beasts should replace all existing cruisers.
6. 22350 frigates and enlarged frigates/destroyers of 22350M class (Severnaya Werf, Yantar, Amur and some other shipyard maybe) ; no less than 6 for Northern fleet, no less than 6 for Pacific fleet, 6 for Baltic fleet and 3 for Black sea (because 11356 class of frigates could be modernized in the future). This will be accomplished by the end of next decade.
7. Corvettes (Severnaya Werf, Amur and maybe some other shipyard as well) ; No less than 30; 6 20385 corvettes for Northern fleet, 6 20385 corvettes are planned and 6 20380 for Pacific fleet, 6 for Black sea fleet and 6 corvettes for Baltic fleet.
8. Landing ships (Yantar and some shipyard in the Black sea) ; 4 for NF, 4 for PF, 4 for BSF, and 4 for Baltic fleet.
9. POSEIDON submarines (Sevmash) ; 4 or 5 in total split between Northern and Pacific fleet.
10. Borei class (Sevmash); 12 or 14 split between NF and PF.
