The warship has a hangar for Ka-27 helicopter. The displacement is 2.2 thousand tons, the range of navigation is 3.5 thousand miles and autonomous navigation is 15 days. The corvettes are armed with universal Kalibr missile complex, the Redut antiaircraft complex, and the Paket antisubmarine warfare complex.
