Projekt 22800 small missile ship

Nice to se this thread alive, featuring many interesting sources.

On this Project 22800 I identify AK-176 gun, Kashtan CIWS, countermeasures launchers and Club-K VLS missiles, right?

That is what we call for a corvette, light frigate if you must.

A missile ship would indicate something different than this.... But at the same time it is not 100% wrong either to call it a missile ship, due to the small missile silo...


But then again Ticonderoga class cruiser is an large missile boat:-\

Thanks GRISHA-II for info! According to Russianships.info 3 units are on order.

Concerning the DP-64 grenade launcher, it would be useful in my AU. According to Wikipedia, is cleared for export since 2015.

Small missile ship is a ship category in the Russian designation system... the Nanuchka class was called such(the Tarantul class was classified as missile boats, one size category below).
