Patrol ships of Project 22160 are expanding their capabilities in the field of air defense. According to a source in the Russian defense industry, it was decided to retrain the ships of the series into air defense corvettes.

The decision to arm the entire series of patrol ships of the 22160 project was made taking into account the experience of conducting a special military operation in Ukraine, the Tor-M2KM SAM will be installed on the ships. By the end of the year, all corvettes of this series will be re-equipped, the lead ship of the Vasily Bykov series is currently undergoing tests with the installed Tor-M2KM SAM module. The ship takes an active part in the special operation.
