The Russian Defense Ministry published video footage that shows the corvette, Rezky, destroying a supersonic Moskit anti-ship cruise missile launched from a mock enemy vessel from a distance of over 90 km.
Initially, the crew of Rezky zeroed in on the projectile using radio-technical warfare technology. Once pinpointed, the missile was tracked for some time and swiftly destroyed by the Redut naval air defense system. Simultaneously with the air defense system, a 100-mm A-190 naval cannon fired at the target.
The test area was closed to civil and commercial navigation, with the Pacific Fleet's 15 warships standing guard.
Rezky, the Project 20380-class corvette designed by Russia's Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau, is optimized for antisubmarine and surface warfare in addition to supporting land operations.
