Introducing Project 23560E - Next gen russian destroyers

[IR-TR]

Question btw. Why do Russians still use those very long numbers? Project 394828 or 22350? Why not simplify it? Totally retarded question I know, but just asking, I was wondering.

Actually, the numbers aren't that long.They count up.
Example: It is not 11356 (Talwar) but rather 1135.6, with 1135 referring to Krivak class and .6 to this particular version.
Grigorivich (11356M) is a modernized Talwar (11356)
Talwar (11356) is a development of Krivak III (project 1135.1 Nerei) for KGB border guards
Before that, you had
Project 1135 M, Burevestnik M (Krivak 2)
Project 1135, Burevestnik (Krivak 1)

I'm guessing the mast would be made out of composites, looks awesome.
