Stoikiy is a Steregushchiy-class corvette of the Russian Navy.

Development and design

Main article: Steregushchiy-class corvette

The Steregushchiy-class corvettes have a steel hull and composite material superstructure, with a bulbous bow and nine watertight subdivisions. They have a combined bridge and command centre, and space and weight provision for eight SS-N-25 missiles. Stealth technology was widely used during construction of the ships, as well as 21 patents and 14 new computer programs. Newest physical field reduction[clarification needed] solutions were applied too. As a result, designers considerably reduced the ship's radar signature thanks to hull architecture and fire-resistant radar-absorbent fiberglass applied in tophamper's design.[1]

The Kashtan CIWS on the first ship was replaced in subsequent vessels by 12 Redut VLS cells containing 9M96E medium-range SAMs of the S-400 system. SS-N-27 (Kalibr type missiles) will be fitted to a larger domestic version, Project 20385.[2]

The export version known as Project 20382 Tigr carries either eight supersonic SS-N-26 (P-800 Oniks) anti-ship missiles or sixteen subsonic SS-N-25 'Switchblade' (Kh-35E Uran). It also carries two twin-tube launchers for 533mm heavy torpedoes. The A-190E 100mm gun first used in the Talwar-class frigates is controlled by a 5P-10E system that can track four targets simultaneously. Protection from air attacks is provided by the Kashtan CIWS and eight mounts for the SA-N-10 'Grouse' (9K38 Igla) SAM.[3]

Construction and career

Stoikiy was laid down on 10 November 2006, and launched on 30 May 2012 by Severnaya Verf in Saint Petersburg. She was commissioned on 18 July 2014. On January 21, 2014 he completed the first stage of sea trial and on the 24th, he arrived at the Naval Base Baltiysk.[4][5] Then on 29th, he conducted an experimental shooting.[6]

In April 2015, as part of a detachment of ships of the Baltic Fleet (Boikiy, Stoikiy, Soobrazitelny and Steregushchiy), together with naval aviation at a training ground in the Baltic Sea, he performed tasks in anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defense. During the exercise, the ships conducted artillery fire at sea and air targets, found and destroyed a simulated enemy submarine, and practiced joint maneuvering.[7]

In November 2016, the crew of the Stoiky in the sea ranges of the Baltic Fleet worked out actions to search for and detect a simulated enemy submarine using the latest anti-submarine weapons and successfully conditionally hit a target from the Paket-E/NK anti-submarine system.[8] Further, in November, acting together with the Soobrazitelny, during tactical exercises in the Baltic Sea, he delivered a successful missile strike against complex targets that imitated a ship (using the Uran anti-ship missile system) and a cruise missile (using the Redut air defense system).[9]

On June 15, 2017,he participated in the detachment of ships of the Baltic Fleet (Boikiy and Steregushchiy), he successfully completed elements of joint maneuvering at sea and artillery fire at sea surface targets.[10] From June 28 to July 2, he took part in the VIII International Naval Salon-2017 (IMDS -2017) held in St. Petersburg.[11] On July 30, he took part in the main naval parade in Navy Day.[12] On August 31, during the exercise, the corvette crew repulsed a simulated torpedo attack in the Baltic Sea, and also conducted artillery firing at various targets, anti-sabotage defense measures, and an in-ship training to combat ship damage.[13]

On June 18, 2018, a detachment of ships of the Baltic Fleet, consisting of the Boikiy and Stoikiy, the tanker Kola and the tugboat Viktor Konetsky, sailed into the North Atlantic to carry out planned tasks for a long voyage.[14]

On November 15, 2019, the Stoikiy and the Kaliningrad large landing craft returned to the homeport Baltiysk after completing combat training missions as part of the permanent presence of the Baltic Fleet forces in their area of ​​responsibility, they were in the Baltic Sea for more than 30 days and traveled more than 4,000 miles.[15]

On 16 December 2020, Stoikiy, Kola and Yakov Grebelsky left Naval Base Baltiysk for Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean.[16]
