Ivan Rogov-class amphibious assault ship
future class of Russian amphibious assault ship
The Ivan Rogov (also known as the Project 23900) is the newest class of Russian amphibious assault ships intended as a replacement for the French Mistral class, two of which were ordered by Russia in 2011, but that France refused to deliver in September 2014 due to the Russo-Ukrainian War. A contract was signed on 22 May 2020 for the construction of two Project 23900 ships with a displacement of 40,000 tons. The construction is led by JSC Zelenodolsk Design Bureau, which is a part of JSC Ak Bars Shipbuilding Corporation.
Previously, the Lavina (Russian: Лавина, lit. 'Avalanche'), and Priboy (Russian: Прибой, lit. 'Surf') designs were proposed by the Nevskoe Design Bureau and Krylov State Research Center as the replacement for Mistrals.
Project 23900 is also a successor class to the unrealized Soviet Project 11780 program.
History
Initially, the "Priboy" and "Lavina" helicopter carrier designs were first revealed in June 2015 during the "ARMY-2015" military-technical forum, as a replacement for the two undelivered Mistral-class vessels ordered by Russia in 2011 under a $1.3 billion contract. However, due to the international sanctions against Russia, the French refused to proceed with the delivery and the deal was suspended in 2015. France subsequently returned to Russia the deposit paid for the construction of the two vessels. Both vessels were later sold to the Egyptian Navy.
On 25 May 2017, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Yury Borisov stated that the construction cycle of new Russian helicopter carrier would last at least four years and the first ship was projected to be completed by 2022.

Why this record matters
The phrase “future class of Russian amphibious assault ship” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65083650. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2015.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
