Zaliv CEO Igor Obrubov said “it is the first out of three ships of the project built by the enterprise. The successful work demonstrates that Zaliv will continue to justify the trust of the government which gives it important projects.”

Future Captain 3rd rank Oleg Tutchak was present at the ceremony. Under his command, the Tsiklon will complete running and acceptance trials and join the Black Sea fleet.

The Navy operates two corvettes of project 22800. The Mytishchi and the Sovetsk operate in the Baltic fleet. The Odintsovo corvette is undergoing acceptance trials. It is the first corvette of project 22800 to be armed with Pantsir-M.
