Speaking of the Project 20386 corvette , wiki, although not a reliable source, claims that its been canceled, true or just another NATO Nazi propaganda?
"It is not expected that it will be commissioned in its present-day version," the source added. "The ship will be completed in accordance with a modified project and will join the Russian Navy in a totally new, more balanced version."
TASS has been unable to officially confirm this information at the time of the publication.

You can see in Military acceptance that, height wise, there is a problem with Don-Volga channel locks. They had to remove radar mast on Karakurt. As for the displacement alone, only Buyan and Karakurt can pass and maybe project 20380 with flotation devices, after their masts are removed.Rodion_Romanovic wrote:ALAMO wrote:Size is restricted according to Volga-Don Max register.

Is anywhere also written the max air draft (or however is called? I mean max height during high water from seas in order to still allow clearance under bridges?

What is the Russian Navy doing to the 203mm calibre? Are you suggesting that big guns are going to make a comeback on Russian Destroyers and Cruisers?GarryB wrote:Hopefully they are realising the value of long range accurate gun fire capacity and are doing to the 203mm calibre what they also seem to be doing to the 152mm rounds.

Saint Petersburg. September 20. INTERFAX - PJSC Severnaya Verf (St. Petersburg) plans to launch the Project 20385 corvette Provorny, restored after a fire, by May next year, said the general director of the enterprise, Igor Orlov.
“We plan to launch the ship in the next six months, taking into account weather and climatic deviations - until May 2024. The ship is being restored, the customer is waiting for it,” Orlov told Interfax on the sidelines of the international exhibition and conference Neva 2023.
According to the general director of Severnaya Verf, the decision that the ship should be completed without reducing its performance characteristics was made based on the results of a damage analysis with the participation of representatives of science and the customer.
“Today, all the tasks of restoring or supplying new equipment to complete this ship have been resolved, we have no problems in terms of equipment. We are now completing its construction, all the main hull structures have been restored, everything related to saturation has been restored, the installation of the main equipment is underway ", added Orlov.
As reported, a fire on the corvette "Provorny" occurred in December 2021; the ship's superstructure was damaged in the fire. The corvette was planned to be transferred to the Russian Navy at the end of 2022. Corvette "Provorny" is the second ship of Project 20385. The lead corvette of the project, "Gremyashchiy", serves in the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy. This ship is armed with Caliber cruise missiles.
The main task of the project ships is to detect and destroy surface targets and submarines, organize landings, protect the coastal zone and escort other ships. Plans were reported to arm Project 20385 ships with Zircon hypersonic missiles.
Severnaya Verf is one of the largest shipbuilding enterprises in Russia, part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC).

I would also prefer if it had better air defense. But this is meant to operate in the Arctic in the first place. The threat environment is totally different.
