The Russian Baltic fleet will operate the Grad Sviyazhsk corvette of Buyan-class project 21631. It is to be constructed in 2021 and will join the 36th brigade of missile ships in Baltiisk. It was initially planned to send the corvette to the Black Sea fleet, the Izvestia daily writes. The Baltic fleet will form the crew for the new warship by the end of 2020 and will send the navymen to a training center, Defense Ministry sources said. They will participate in trials of the Grad from 2021.
