The small missile ship "Rzhev", built for the Russian Navy, has powerful weapons in a small size. The capabilities of the ship, called the "beast with missiles", were assessed in a publication by the American edition of The National Interest.
The authors of the material noted that, despite its compact size, 67 meters in length and a displacement of 870 tons, the "Rzhev" is armed with anti-ship cruise missiles "Caliber-NK" or "Onyx" and an automatic cannon with a caliber of 76.2 millimeters.
The construction of such MRKs indicates a shift in the focus of the Russian Navy towards small, but very combat-ready and highly effective ships, since the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" is still in docks for repairs.
"Rzhev" was laid down at the Amur Shipbuilding Plant in 2019, and in 2023 the ship was launched. MRK project 22800 "Karakurt" are designed for conducting combat operations in the near sea zone.
