Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov and Director General Renat Mistakhov have signed the agreement during the Army 2016 forum. According to Borisov, the contract will be worth 27 billion rubles ($421 million).

"The 27-billion-ruble contract is long-term and is affording the company financial stability," the deputy defense minister said.

Zelenodolsk Shipyard Director General Renat Mistakhov added that the Defense Ministry had ordered three more Project 21631 ships. "Five have been delivered: three to the Caspian Flotilla and two to the Black Sea Fleet. Plans provide for four ships more, and three more have been ordered today," he said.
