Karakurt-class corvette
The Karakurt class, Russian designation Project 22800 Karakurt (Russian: Каракурт, lit. 'black widow spider'), is a class of Russian Navy corvettes (small missile ships) first commissioned in 2018.
The class is intended as a more seaworthy, blue-water complement to the Buyan-M-class corvettes, designed for the littoral zone and which as of 2015[update] serve in Russia's Caspian Flotilla, Baltic Fleet and Black Sea Fleet.[clarification needed][irrelevant citation] The ships are designed to be armed with Kalibr or Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles and have an endurance of 15 days.[citation needed] They are also to be a cheap alternative for larger Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates, for which construction was delayed due to the suspended military cooperation with Ukraine, and because of Russia's intention to continue the modernization of its navy until all necessary tasks for construction of larger vessels domestically are solved.[failed verification] Delays in the supply of domestically-produced engines for the Karakurt class have held up the completion of several ships.
Project 22800 was first publicly presented by Almaz during the International Military-Technical Forum «ARMY-2015», held in Kubinka. At the time, the class was presented yet as "Project 12300". During the exhibition, it was also announced 18 ships are planned for construction.
The first two ships, Uragan ("hurricane", now Mytishchi) and Taifun ("typhoon", now Sovetsk), were laid down at the Pella Shipyard in Saint Petersburg on 24 December 2015.
In August 2016, it was reported that a total of seven ships have been ordered from the Pella Shipyard (one of which would be built at More Shipyard, Feodosia), and that five more ships have been ordered from the Zelenodolsk Shipyard. Three of the five ordered ships, Tsiklon ("cyclone"), Askold and Amur, previously planned to be built by the Zelenodolsk Shipyard, were later laid down at the Zalyv Shipbuilding yard in Kerch, Crimea.
On 29 July 2017, the lead ship of the class was launched.
The Russian Defence Ministry signed a contract for several more vessels during the International ARMY-2017 Military-Technical Forum.[citation needed]
In May 2018, it was reported Mytishchi was undergoing sea trials in Lake Ladoga and the Baltic Sea.
