    I highly doubt this vessel will be of any use to anyone past 2025. It's a waste of money to keep it afloat like that imo.

    I think it is rather good for training new sailors. 250 at once! Firing guns, Uran and sea-helo training package included.
    By 2025 there will be enough vessels to replace it. My opinion they should remove it from active front line duty but keep it as training ship by 2025.
    BTW 48years in service, she deserves her Golden Jubilee in active service.

    Easy there. It's a frigate, going by tonnage and capability. And not even a heavy one at that.

    If it becomes a training ship, then sure it is useful. But it's definitely not fit for front line duty and even for anti-piracy missions, it just keeps a wasteful amount of sailors busy.

    I know, like those 1940s and 1950s destroyers. Not anymore.
    For 2017, since it's used by RuN as active duty ship, it's essentially a frigate with very old SAMs and sensors and moderately capable SSMs.

    I agree but its not built in 2017. So its still a destroyer. No one reclassified it yet. But for todays term its a large patrol boat not even frigate.

    It has a basic SAM and SSM capability and it's within frigate tonnage, which is way over the ''patrol boat'' category.

    ''Large patrol boat'' is probably an old Russian term that nobody uses afaik. Unless it's code for ''look, we can't get them frigate built on-time so we keep this old 60s destroyer around, give it a fancy name".

    .
    Just to add, once this ship is out of service it still won't be getting scraped.

    With it's age and being last of it's kind it will become museum ship more likely than not.

    Infographics on the decision of the Navy of the task of protecting commercial maritime shipping

    Since 2008, the ships of the Navy have carried out 32 campaigns to the Gulf of Aden and other pirate dangerous directions, accompanied by 152 caravans and 727 ships (of which 56 are vessels under the Russian flag).
    Also, ten attempts to capture were prevented, seven boats and 80 pirates were detained. In addition to the Gulf of Aden, Russian military vessels surveyed the Singapore and Malacca Straits, the South China Sea and the Caribbean.
