That brings the number of ships already laid down in Pella, More and Zelenodolsk to a total of 8.

From other sources, I am hearing the names are Tsiklon and Musson.
I am also hearing that these two may be actually building in Kerch (wihich belongs to Zelenodolsk).

So that would officially be third shipyard where these vessels are built?
This is how you get things done.
We can now say that construction of missile ships has been permanently solved. Hopefully corvettes and frigates are next.![]()

Actually, currently only the "Tsiklon" will be built at Zaliv Shipyard (Kerch), the remaining ones with awarded contracts ("Musson", "Passat", "Briz", "Tornado" and "Smerch") will be built at Zelenodolsk, according to Business-Gazeta.ru: https://www.business-gazeta.ru/article/318577

For a while, yes. If the MoD decides to order even more of them, they could be built there in Zaliv, or maybe at the Yaroslavl Shipyard, albeit it has a small shipbuilding capacity, it could also build corvettes with little to no efforts if necessary.

The ship is great but still is missing anything to protect from subs, no self defense weapon. Knowing Russian specifics large distances, sparsely scattered naval bases I want to believe they always will be protected from subs by other ships.

It has decoys and a sonar. It's supposed to replace small corvettes/fast attack boat, not Udaloys ...
I didn't know it had sonar. Where is it installed?
