Ria Novosti: The corvette Soobrazitelny appears for the first time at the Fifth International Maritime Defence Show



The corvette Soobrazitelny was shown to the public for the first time at the Fifth International Maritime Defence Show (IMDS-2011) in St. Petersburg. More than 70 industrial and research companies contributed to the development and construction of the vessel ordered by the Russian Navy.

The corvette carries an impressive array of armaments: an Uran anti-ship missile system, an AK-630M surface-to-air artillery unit, an A-190 automatic artillery system plus multiple torpedo tubes.

To jam and protect itself against homing missiles the Soobrazitelny features a radioelectronic suppression system. The system actively jams incoming missiles and can guide an enemy warhead to a decoy target.

A KA-27PL anti-submarine helicopter is based on the corvette to seek and attack submarines.
