History
The first two Project 23131 ships, serial numbers "301" and "302", were laid down during a keel laying ceremony at the Zaliv shipyard, Kerch on 26 December 2014.[1] They were originally planned to enter service in 2018.[2] In November 2018, Zaliv shipyard reported that formation of the ships' hulls and superstructures was complete and that work was currently underway to prepare the two hulls for electrical installations.[3] As of 2022, neither ship is complete.
