The Project 956 destroyers, also known as the Sovremenny-class destroyers, are a class of guided missile destroyers developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Designed for anti-ship and anti-air warfare, these vessels feature a sleek hull and advanced radar systems, making them effective in naval combat. Equipped with a variety of weaponry, including SS-N-22 Sunburn anti-ship missiles and AK-130 naval guns, the Project 956 destroyers are capable of engaging multiple targets simultaneously. They have served in various navies, primarily the Russian Navy, and remain notable for their speed and firepower in modern naval operations.
