Designed by Almaz Central Marine Design bureau, the Project 20380/20382 is a well-balanced ship in terms of armament and displacement, designed to operated in littoral areas and shelf seas. Its main missions include protection of territorial waters, exclusive economic zone, continental shelf, offshore areas, naval bases and ports. The ship represents a versatile platform easily transformable to meet customer's requirements.

The ship is designed for fighting against enemy surface combatans, submarine and aircraft, for ensuring combat security of naval task forces or for engaging shore targets with artillery fire.

The corvette carries Uran-E theatre cruise missiles, designed to engage surface targets. Anti-submarine warfare systems include sonar and torpedo launchers.

Integrated command bridge system mounted in the conning room has become a milestone in developing Action Data Automation Weapon Systems (ADAWS) for surface ships.

The head of class, Steregushchiy (Project 20380) was delivered to the Russian Navy in 2007

The Russian Navy announced that they intend to buy at least 20 of these ships, for all four major fleets.
