The crew of the small missile ship (MRK) "Stavropol" of project 21631 "Buyan-M" (carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles) successfully carried out artillery firing at sea targets in the Baltic Sea. This was reported by the press service of the Baltic Fleet.
A special shield simulating a warship of a mock enemy was used as a sea target during the firing. It was fired upon from 100 mm and 30-millimeter artillery mounts.
The ship's gunners hit the target, demonstrating high accuracy of fire. The crew of the "Stavropol" also conducted training to combat unmanned boats of a mock enemy. During the exercises, models of unmanned boats (stationary and controlled) were destroyed using fire from ship artillery and large-caliber machine guns.
MRK "Stavropol" of project 21631 "Buyan-M" is designed to protect the economic zone of the state in inland marine basins. The ship is equipped with an A-190 artillery mount with a caliber of 100 millimeters, an AK-630M-2 "Duet" anti-aircraft mount and modern control and radio communication systems. The main weapon of the MRK is the universal shipborne firing complex 3S14, which can carry eight Kalibr-NK and/or Onyx cruise missiles.
Currently, the Baltic Fleet includes four ships of project 21631 — "Zeleny Dol", "Serpukhov", "Grad" and "Naro-Fominsk".
