The Project 23900 Ivan Rogov 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 Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[5] A contract was signed on 22 May 2020 for the construction of two Project 23900 ships with a displacement of 40,000 tons.[3] 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')[6][7] 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.
