Russian defense industry sources confirm that the Russian Navy's Pr.1164 Atlant (NATO: SLAVA Class) will get a new lease of life.

The Project 1164 missile cruiser "Moskva" of Atlant-class (NATO: Slava-class) will serve for at least another ten years after the life cycle of the Black Sea fleet warship was extended, two informed sources in the industry told the Flotprom.com publication.
