In the web there was a photo of the first patrol ships of the project 22160, previously towed to Novorossiysk from Zelenodolsk plant named after. Gorky for passing factory and state tests, reports bmpd .

The main ship of the series "Vasily Bykov" since May 2018 is factory run trials, the second - "Dmitry Rogachev" - while is demagnetized (towed to Novorossiysk in August). "Vasily Bykov" was laid at the Zelenodolsk plant in 2014. In August 2017, it was launched. In November of the same year, it was towed for completion to the Kerch plant "Zaliv" (it is under the management of Zelenodolsk plant). From there, in May 2018, it was towed to Novorossiysk. It was planned to be transferred to the customer in 2017, but the deadline was not sustained. Perhaps, it will be delivered before the end of this year.

The ship was built under a contract with the Defense Ministry from April 2014. And in October 2014 the military department issued a contract to Zelenodolsk plant for the construction of 5 patrol ships of project 22160. 

The first serial ship was "Dmitry Rogachev", preparing today in Novorossiysk to pass factory tests. It was laid in 2014 and launched in late 2017. 

The main distinguishing feature of the ships is the modular assembly. Earlier it was reported about the arming of all or several corvettes of this series with 3M54 missile systems (the Caliber-NK family).
