A Russian Navy large patrol corvette has been targeted in a missile attack from territory controlled by Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to Taras Chmut, head of the Ukrainian Military Center think-tank.
�According to preliminary information from the Command of the Ukrainian Navy, a missile attack was made on the patrol ship of Project 22160-class �Vasily Bykov� of the [Russian] Black Sea Fleet.,� he said.
Project 22160 is a new stealth class of large patrol corvettes being constructed for the Russian Navy and featuring a composite stealth structure. The vessels are primarily intended for duties such as patrol, monitoring and protection in open and closed seas. The first ship was laid down in February 2014 and by December 2016 five ships were under construction.
