[Regnum] Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in 2023 the Russian Navy will replenish 30 ships of different classes. He announced this on July 30, speaking in St. Petersburg at the Main Naval Parade on the occasion of the Navy Day.

“Today, Russia is confidently implementing the large-scale tasks of the national maritime policy,” Putin said.

The head of state noted that Russia is consistently building up the power of its fleet. In particular, the Navy will be replenished with 30 ships of different classes.

Earlier, the Russian leader arrived at the Main Naval Parade, which takes place in St. Petersburg and Kronstadt on the Day of the Russian Navy. The President, together with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu , boarded a boat near the Peter and Paul Fortress to bypass the parade line of warships on the Neva, as well as to greet and congratulate the crews.

The parade consists of sea and land components. In 2023, 45 ships, boats and submarines, and about three thousand military personnel will take part in it.

"I find that very hard to believe."

"Would you believe 20 ships, boats and submarines and about fifteen hundred military personnel?"

"I would also find that very hard to believe."
