Project 22010 is a series of research vessels being built for the Russian Navy, developed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau.[1][2] While officially these vessels are intended for deep sea research and rescue operations, officials have alleged that these are spy ships intended for gathering intelligence and tampering with undersea communication cables.[3][4][5]
