At the same time as the Gazprom fleet supply vessels that will participate in the completion of Nord stream 2, the Vasily Bykov Corvette is passing through the Mediterranean sea. It also goes to the Baltic sea-to the parade in honor of the Russian Navy Day in St. Petersburg. From the Indian ocean to the Suez canal, the vessels were guided by the frigate Admiral Grigorovich and the tug Professor Nikolai Muru. The Russian military does not leave the fleet that will complete the Baltic gas pipeline unaccompanied in foreign waters.......

It says a lot about the shitty state of the world that Russia felt the need of a military escort for civilian ships as they passed UK waters on the way to do a hydrocarbon project for the EU.For an anti piracy job off the coast of Africa small ships like Bykov etc would be very useful too being less of a burden in logistics...

The Northern Fleet is set to conduct an experimental exercise that will reportedly involve testing some of these container-based weapons on the Vasily Bykov Project 22160 patrol ship in the Arctic. 7/
The Vasily Bykov corvette of project 22160 has completed Arctic trials. It tested the arms and life support. It was believed that project 22160 warships are unfit for the Arctic, but the corvette coped with all missions. It means the corvettes can operate in the northern seas against submarines, the Izvestia daily writes.
The corvette sailed several months. It left the Black Sea in June for the Mediterranean, circled the French coast and sailed the North and the Baltic Seas to St. Petersburg for the Navy parade. It then sailed to the White Sea.
The Northern fleet said the Vasily Bykov arrived in its main naval base to test the weapons. The corvette spent two months in the Arctic. It confirmed that project 22160 warships can operate against submarines in the north.......
