The Russian Navy recently commissioned a new stealth warship into service.
Burya (Буря; "Storm") is the latest example of the Project 22800 or Karakurt-class corvettes. Like her sisters, she has a length of 67 metres, a beam of 11 metres, a displacement of around 800 tonnes, and a speed in excess of 30 knots.
The ship's armament includes Oniks and Kalibr anti-ship cruise missiles, 76mm naval guns, a Pantsir-M close-in weapon system consisting of surface-to-air missiles, and 14.5mm machine guns.
The superstructure boasts low-observability features such as a stealth shape and an integrated mast that help reduce the ship's radar signature. The electronics suite meanwhile includes AESA fire control radars and a satellite communications station.
Design work on Burya was undertaken by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau. The corvette will be operated as part of the Russian Navy's Baltic Fleet.
Construction of Burya was undertaken at the Saint Petersburg facilities of Pella Shipyard beginning in 2016. The ship was originally scheduled to be delivered to the Russian Navy in 2021.
