Project 23550 Arctic patrol ship

Russia is so far ahead in the Arctic that that ship isn´t such a high priority.
The 2 ships for the coast guard will propably be build much faster than this one.

Russkie are building more ice class vessels than the entire west owns.
Having more than all of the west combined
It was last week when it turned out, that nobody can evacuate an Australian guy from Antarctica because nobody has anything in range, while the sole icebreaker Australia has needed more than a week to dispatch. They finally managed.

I remember a senate commission with an ex coastal guard admiral, who declined to authorize a provocation towards Russkie that was ordered to him He said literally that they can't go to Arctica, because the sole icebreaker they have is so freaky old&worn, that in a best case will broke down half way. And they will have to ask Russkie for a rescue operation He has been fired on the spot for saying that yet the show was hilarious

A few years ago the BBC made a documentary about "evil Russkies doing bad things in the Arctic" and the "battle for the Arctic between evil Russkies
and western saints", moving along a norwegian scientific expedition... on board a rented russian icebreaker. 

The main reason I think a british person claiming the Russian MIC is on a go slow is because the Russian Navy had its first experience of international travel with a chap called Thaddeus Von Bellingshausen (sorry for spelling). These days he would be called a Baltic explorer but then he was Russian and was really the first Russian sailor to sail around the place. He was the first human being to spot the antarctic ice shelf though he didn't realise what it was at that time.

For his first voyage he was given the job of writing the manual for Russian sailors to sail outside Russian waters and one of the first major notes he made was when he arrived in great britain for repairs he noted that it is important to pay for the jobs being done rather than paying for an hourly rate because paying for an hourly rate meant the locals went on a go slow to earn as much money for the job as they possibly could.

Paying for a job instead of an hourly rate was ingrained into the Russian Navy on its first decent round the world trip by the money grabbing British.
