The "Meteors" of Project 342 are planned to have their "internals" replaced

The legendary "Meteors" of Project 342 are planned to be modernized. This was announced by the head of Tobolsk, Petr Vagin.

We discussed prospects for cooperation. I was interested in an ambitious project — the revival of the legendary "Meteors". Dmitry Olegovich proposes to keep the retro hull and make modern internals. 
Petr Vagin, Head of Tobolsk

The shipbuilders plan to keep the retro hull and make modern internals. Over the years, these high-speed vessels have proven their reliability. They have excellent hydrodynamics, providing comfort on the water.
