The major portion of the budget will be spent on the construction of Yasen and Borei Class submarines, three new Talwar Class frigates, three improved Kilo Class submarines, Bulava ballistic missiles and other vessels for the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
The spending will also cover the construction of the first two Mistral Class amphibious assault ships under a Russian-French deal.
