Russian destroyer Admiral Tributs

To combat submarines, Admiral Tributs mounts two quadruple launchers for eight missiles in the Metel Anti-Ship Complex along with two RBU-6000 12-barrel rocket launchers for close in defence.[4] The ship is also equipped with two quadruple 553 mm (21.8 in) CHTA-53-1155 torpedo tubes for 53-65K, SET-65 torpedoes.[3] A hangar aft accommodates two Kamov Ka-27 helicopters for anti-submarine warfare.[1] Protection from aircraft was provided with eight 3K95 Kinzhal missiles mounted in vertical launchers supplemented by 100 mm (4 in) AK-100 DP guns and four 30 mm (1.2 in) AK-630 Gatling guns.[5]

The vessel is equipped with the MR-760 Fregat-MA (NATO reporting name 'Top Plate') air/surface search, MR-320V Topaz-V ('Strut Pair') air/surface search and MR-212/201-1 Vaygach-U navigation radars along with MR-350 Podkat ('Cross Sword') and K-12-1 ('Hot Flash') fire control radars.[6] The MGK-355 Polinom sonar complex (combining 'Horse Jaw' bow mounted and 'Horse Tail' variable depth sonars) is complemented by two MG-7 Braslet anti-saboteur sonars and the MG-35 Shtil-2 underwater communication system.[7]

In February 2021, the ship conducted exercises in the Sea of Japan.[9]

In late December 2021, Admiral Tributs, along with cruiser Varyag, left Vladivostok for a long deployment, consisting of port calls in several countries.[10] On 11 January 2022, the warships entered the Indian Ocean,[11] and called at Kochi on 14 January 2022.[12]

In February 2022, in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Admiral Tributs entered the Mediterranean Sea, along with cruiser Varyag and tanker Boris Butoma, joining the Permanent task force of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea.[13] In July 2022, Admiral Tributs, Varyag and intelligence ship Vasily Tatishchev became the first Russian Navy's ships operating in the Adriatic Sea since 1995 Volk's deployment amid US bombardment of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[14] In late July, destroyer Admiral Tributs operated off Šibenik, intelligence ship Vasily Tatishchev operated near island Palagruža, cruiser Varyag operated near Durres, while frigate Admiral Grigorovich remained just outside the Adriatic Sea. As the US carrier Truman was located in the Adriatic Sea at the same time, there were reports in media about Russian warships simulating blocking the US carrier in the Adriatic Sea.

In October 2022, Admiral Tributs, Varyag and Boris Butoma departed the Mediterranean via the Suez canal,[15] returning to Vladivostok on 18 November.[16]

On 27 October 2023, Admiral Tributs and Admiral Panteleyev departed Indonesia after a friendly visit.[17]
