Russian corvette Soobrazitelny

The ship is the first of the class to be fitted with the Redut system intended to increase its anti-aircraft capabilities with respect to the Kashtan CIWS previously used.

Soobrazitelny was laid down at the Severnaya Verf shipyard in Saint Petersburg on 20 May 2003.[2] She was launched in late March 2010 and was shown to the public for the first time at the fifth International Maritime Defence Show (IMDS-2011) in St. Petersburg. The corvette began state testing in July 2011[3] and joined the Baltic Fleet on 14 October of that year, when her acceptance certificate was signed.[4][5] Soobrazitelny was designated Guards on 1 March 2012 and received a battle flag inherited from her predecessors with the same name on 29 July of that year.[6][7]

In April 2017, Soobrazitelny and her sister Boyky were escorted through the English Channel by HMS Sutherland.[8]

Soobrazitelny and Stoikiy entered the Mediterranean in October 2022.[9] Between 18–21 October, they visited Algeria.[10] In late November, both corvettes were absent from Tartus, likely shadowing French aircraft carrier, deployed to the East Mediterranean.[11] On 5 December, they were in Tartus.[12] In April 2023, the corvette, accompanied by Stoikiy and the frigate Admiral Grigorovich, was reported to have left the Mediterranean, transitting via the Atlantic to the Baltic.[13] She was reported back in the Atlantic in June.[14]

The ship was one of the main characters shown in the RT channel documentary series "The Baltic Fleet".
