New hulls for Russian border guard
The border guard branch of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSS) received its first Project 22100 Ocean-class patrol ship recently and also began construction of a series of patrol hovercraft of the Project A25PS.
The first Project 22100 vessel was transferred to its permanent base in Murmansk in early February. Named Polyarnaya Zvezda (Polar Star), it was officially commissioned with the FSS in a ceremony in Kronshtadt near St Petersburg last December.
