“The Petr Morgunov returned from the Baltic Sea to complete factory running trials. The final stage will last until early June. The warship suspended trials in late March and returned to Yantar Shipyard for repairs,” it said.

Components of the hydraulic system broke down during trials. The malfunction has been remedied.

The warship will train artillery fire at the final stage of running trials. It is to begin acceptance trials in early June.

The ‘Petr Morgunov‘ is the first serial warship of the project. The ‘Ivan Gren’ lead ship has been operational since June 2018.
