Russian frigate severly damaged in collision
The Project 21631 Buyan-M frigate 'Vyshny Volochek', part of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, was seriously damaged in the collision with the 'Nazan' off Crimea on Aug 7, 2025, in the Temryuk Bay of the Azov Sea during an UAV attack, while performing combat tasks. The accident resulted in significant hull damages, preventing the ship from being fully operational. The series of Project 21631 (code name Buyan-M) frigates is being built by the Zelenodolsk Plant and was developed by the Zelenodolsk Design Bureau as a modernization of the Project 21630 Buyan frigates. At the same time, the displacement increased from 500 tons to 949. The 3S14 vertical launch system (VLS), can launch eight missiles, either Kalibr missiles or, in the future, Zircon and Onyx missiles. The tanker berthed at the Desan Yardgem United Shipyards in Tuzla on Sep 20 and remained stationary as of Sep 30.
