Project 23000E or Shtorm (Russian: Шторм, lit. 'Storm') is a proposal for an aircraft carrier designed by the Krylov State Research Center for the Russian Navy.[1] The cost of the export version has been put at over US$5.5 billion,[4] and as of 2017 development had been expected to take ten years.[4] As of 2020[update], the project had not yet been approved and, given the financial costs, it was unclear whether it would be made a priority over other elements of Russian naval modernization.[5]
