    MOSCOW, July 19 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Pacific Fleet will start
    receiving new warships in 2014 for the first time since the collapse
    of the Soviet Union, the fleet's commanders said.

    "Rather large-scale deliveries of new equipment, new warships to the
    Pacific Fleet will start in 2014," Rear Admiral Sergei Avakyants said
    in an interview with Rossiya 24 television on Thursday.

    Avakyants emphasized the fact that the fleet received a new warship
    last time in 1991.

    According to the Russian military, at least one of the two
    Mistral-class helicopter carriers, being built in France for the
    Russian navy, is intended for the Pacific Fleet, which has already
    prompted concerns in Japan.

    Steregushchy-class corvettes are being built for the Pacific Fleet
    at the Amur shipyard in Russia's Far East with estimated delivery
    in 2014-2015.

    In addition, one of the first Borey-class ballistic missile submarines
    will be put in service with the fleet after the much anticipated
    commissioning by the end of 2013, according to the Russian Defense
    Ministry.

    The Pacific Fleet currently consists of the Varyag missile cruiser,
    four Udaloy-class destroyers, a Sovremenny-class destroyer and
    dozens of submarines, including five Delta III-class ballistic
    missile submarines.
