The Russians have always made small but powerful ships for coastal patrol or littoral combat. Below is a listing of existing ships in my alternate V2.2 Timeline.

Retired "Classic" Ship Types: The Komar Class, Mirka Class, Osa Class, Peyta Class, Poti Class, and Riga Class were already being retired when the Coup happened. The sale or scrapping of these ships was accelerated to generate income to either build or restore more modern and useful classes of Corvette.

The Stenka Class Patrol Boat: This is the Russian equivalent of a US Coast Guard Cutter and 117 were built. The Russians still use about 60 of these boats but the other boats were sold as they are very popular among poorer countries. With twin 37mm Autocannon fore and aft, FOUR 400mm (15.75") Torpedo Tubes, and 12 depth charges, they are HEAVILY armed for their size. They are also easy to maintain. Newer models are equipped with two 30mm CIWS Gatling guns. The Stenkas survive on a roll of 1 on 1D6 with up to 30 surviving.

The Shershen Class Torpedo Boats: 85 such boats were built but the Soviet Union only had 30 left by the time of the Coup. These were another popular boat with poorer client States. Their initial armament in Russian service was TWO 14.5mm KPV machineguns (one fore and one aft in powered turrets) and FOUR 533mm (21") Heavy Torpedo Tubes. Some export models were equipped with lighter torpedos. The 30 remaining ships sold like hot cakes when the Russians upgraded the KPVs to Twin 37mm Autocannon in powered mounts. the following countries bought the modded Shershen Class:

Mexico: 8 boats but they replaced the two rear 533mm torpedo tubes with Penguin Missile launchers.
Nicaruagua: 2 boats.
Guadamala: 2 boats.
Iraq: 4 boats.
Vietnam: 4 boats.
North Korea: 4 boats.
Yemen: 4 boats.
Malasia: 2 boats.

The class was so lucrative for Russia that she sold them all to generate revenue.

The Parachim Class: These East German-built boats (nearly identical to the Russian Grisha Class) are still in the inventory in our real world. In my alternate timeline, it becomes impossible for Russia to buy replacement parts for these vessels due to the UN Sanctions on her. Since Russia only bought them to help subsidize the East German shipbuilding industry, they sell them to India (who also bought all of the East German ships) to generate income.

The Bora Class Hovercraft/Frigate: Both of these experimental ships are still with the Mediterranean Fleet. They survive on a roll of 1 on 1D20.

The Muka Class Corvette: This SINGULAR experimental hydrofoil design was sold to India to generate income.

The Grisha I Corvette: This class was a dedicated ASW Corvettes built from the 1960's. There were 15 built. They were sold or upgraded to other types throughout the 1980's.

The Grisha II Corvette: 10 of these ships are still in service with the KGB border patrol with a distribution of two per Fleet. They survive in a 1 on 1D20.

The Grisha III Corvette: Of the 34 ships of this type built by 1987, 20 are left in Russian service. These ships keep the 57mm Cannon aft but add a 30mm CIWS. The Russians did consider upgrading these to Grisha V's but didn't have the money in real life. They are distributed throughout the 5 Fleets (4 ships per Fleet). They survive on a roll of 1 on 1D20 (max 4).

The Grisha V Corvette: This is the most advanced version of the Grisha Class. It replaces the 57mm Cannon with the same 76mm rapid-fire Cannon on the Pauk and Tarantul Class Corvettes. There were 30 of these ships in service during the Twilight War and they are distributed at 6 per Fleet. They survive on a roll of 1 on 1D20 and 4 hulls may survive.

The Pauk Class Corvette: Like the Grisha Class, the Pauk Class concentrates on the ASW mission. With 12 depth charges, 4 lightweight torpedo tubes, two RBU-1000 ASW rockets, a 30mm Gatling CIWS, SA-N-5 "grail" Launcher, a 76mm Cannon, and a towed sonar, it is well-equipped to perform that task. The Russians had 30 hulls (with 6 per Fleet) and they survive on a roll of 1 on 1D20 (4 max).

The Nanuchka Class Corvettes: This Corvette Class had FOUR generations. All of the Nanuchka I's were sold or upgraded to other versions. The Nanuchka II's were export only ships and not produced for Russia. The Nanuchka III's were updated II's with a 76mm Cannon and updated electronics. The Russians have 20 III's in service (with 4 per Fleet) and are building 1 per year even during the Twilight War. They survive on a roll of 1 on 1D20. The fourth and final version of this class, the Nanuchka IV, was the sole version built. It is still in the Baltic Fleet as a test ship.

The Tarantul Class Corvettes: There were three main subclasses and one modification to class III. The Russians only retained TWO Tarantul I Corvettes for training foreign sailors. They finally adopted the Tarantul when the Tarantul II came out. The Russians still possess 13 of this model. The Tarantul III introduced the SS-N-22 and a better engine to the class. The Russians had 23 hulls in service during the Twilight War. The Tarantul III (mod) involved an electronics enhancement and Russia had built 11 such hulls before the Exchange. The various hulls are distributed between the 5 Fleets (8 per Fleet) with the extra hulls in the Caspian and Black Seas. They survive on a roll of 1 on 1D20 (6 max).

I'll try to post the subs tomorrow.

Swag.
