The patrol ship "Sergey Kotov" was formally laid down at the Zelenodolsk plant named after A.M. Gorky on May 8, 2016, but was de facto built in Kerch. The lead ship of the series - "Vasily Bykov" - was laid down in 2014 and handed over to the customer in 2018.

The artillery armament of the project 22160 consists of a 76.2-mm universal shipboard artillery system AK-176MA. It is possible to install modular tactical strike container weapons: Kalibr cruise missiles or anti-ship "Uran" X-35U. According to open sources, now the Russian navy does not use this option, widely using only diving modules from container equipment.

Today, the planned re-equipment of the surface component of the Russian Navy continues. In December, the fleet was replenished with a new corvette "Gremyashchy" — the first ship of the project 20385. It is assumed that in the foreseeable future it will be able to use hypersonic missiles "Zircon".

In 2021 [...], tests of the upgraded cruiser Admiral Nakhimov-potentially the most powerful Russian surface ship — are due to start. In the process of modernization, it was equipped with 80 unified UKSK 3S14 launchers, which allow launching, in particular, the above-mentioned "Zircons".
