His words are quoted by the Zvezdanews Telegram channel. According to him, the list will include boats, as well as small missile ships and support vessels. He also noted that the ministry will pay special attention to frigates and corvettes capable of operating in the far sea zone. Evtukhov recalled that last year the Russian Navy included 32 ships. This year this figure will be exceeded by 18 units.
