About the Sovremenny Class:
The first of eighteen Russian Sovremenny Class destroyers, with a displacement
of 8480 tons, was completed in 1985. Only five of these Type 956 destroyers
remain in Russian service, though the Chinese Navy (PLAN) also has several of
them.
Each destroyer is armed with a mini-arsenal of 48 air-defense SA-N-7 Gadfly
missiles, eight SS-N-22 Sunburn anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, long-range 130mm
guns, four six-barrel 30mm AK-630 guns, mines, a Ka-27 helicopter, and a comprehensive
electronic warfare system.
