The ship's 2x2 130mm guns are the AK-130-MR-184 supplied by the Ametist Design Bureau and the Frunze Arsenal Design Bureau in Saint Petersburg. The range is up to 25km against targets with speeds up to 830m/s. Up to three missiles can be aimed simultaneously. The system uses the ship's three-dimensional circular scan radar for target tracking. Shtil is the export name of the SA-N-7, NATO reporting name Gadfly. Two Shtil surface-to-air missile systems are installed, each on the raised deck behind the two-barrelled 130mm guns. The missile is a sea-skimming missile with velocity Mach 2.5 and armed with a 300kg high-explosive warhead or a nuclear 200kt warhead. The ship carries a total of eight Moskit 3M80E missiles, NATO designation SS-N-22 Sunburn. The ship is equipped with the Raduga Moskit anti-ship missile system with two four-cell launchers installed port and starboard of the forward island and set at an angle about 15°. The multi-channel defence suite is capable of engaging several targets simultaneously. The ship's combat systems can use target designation data from the ship's active and passive sensors, from other ships in the fleet, from surveillance aircraft or via a communications link from the ship's helicopter. The second vessel was launched in July 2004 and delivered in September 2006. The first of these was launched in April 2004 and delivered in December 2005.
