Historical reference.
The laying of the small artillery ship (MAK) “Makhachkala” (serial number 703) took place on March 24 on the 2006 of the year in the shed of the SF Almaz. The ship became 3-it, the final ship in the series. The 21630 project cipher "Buyan" was developed by Zelenodolsk Design Bureau. The main designer of the project was Y.E. Kushnir.
The ship is designed to destroy surface ships and ships of the enemy, as well as artillery support for the assault force when operating in the near-sea zone and in river sections. The main navigation area is the Caspian.
According to the original plans, the ship was to be launched in the 2008 year and, after factory and acceptance tests, were handed over to the Navy.
However, the receipt of a large number of orders from the FSB of Russia for the construction of patrol boats 12200 Sobol and ships 10410 Svetlyak, 22120 Purga and 22460 Okhotnik for the Coast Department border guards forced to adjust plans. In addition to orders from Russian border guards, the plant simultaneously built 2's Sobol for Turkmenistan and 3's Svetlyakov (1 for Slovenia and 2 for Vietnam) under Rosoboronexport contracts.
After putting most of the ships and boats listed above to the customer, the plant resumed the construction of the MAC, and the ship was launched on 27 on April 2012. After installing the artillery A190-01 in early September, the ship moved to Baltiysk and began state tests, which were successfully completed in November.
