Project 22800 (code "Karakurt") was developed by the Almaz design bureau of the OSK. The main purpose of small missile ships is to perform combat missions in the near sea zone, as well as participate in peacetime operations.
Ships with a displacement of about 870 tons and an advanced weapons system, including guided missiles of several types, depending on the combat missions, will be able to operate independently or as part of ship groups.
