Earlier it was reported that the Russian Coast Guard plans, in addition to the main ship, to order a total of five more ships of this project. However, in November 2015, the general director of JSC "Zelenodolsky Plant named after AM Gorky" Renat Mistakhov stated that the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of Russia for financial reasons postponed the conclusion of the contract for the construction of two large border patrol ships of the first rank of the project 22100 - the fourth and the fifth in the series. The conclusion of contracts on them is possible only in 2017-2018.

The 22100 ships are the largest PSCR in the post-Soviet period, with a standard displacement of about 2,700 tons, a maximum speed of up to 20 knots, a cruising range of up to 12,000 miles and autonomy of 60 days. The electric power plant consists of diesel generators (on the main ship - German MTUs, diesel generators of Kolomna production are to be installed in the subsequent import substitution). The ship has an ice class Arc4 (breaking ice up to 80 cm thick). The armament includes a tank modified 76mm universal artillery installation AK-176MA (on the "Polar Star" the first sample of this artillery was installed) and two 14.5mm machine guns of the MTU.

The Russian provide Border Protection services for South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Armenia (Turkey and Iran borders). This articles states the Armenian force is 4500 people and includes both Russian and Armenian citizens. Have read in the past that the South Ossetian force numbers 800 people and the Abkhazian force double that amount. Believe both of these forces are a mix of Russians and local recruits also.
