Recall that on December 17 last year, a strong fire broke out on the Provorny corvette, located at the Severnaya Verf shipyard. As a result of the incident, the superstructure of the ship was completely destroyed, the hull was not damaged. Later, preliminary dates for the restoration of the ship were named - not earlier than 2026, depending on the damage caused.
