Buyan-M

Russia's small, shallow-draft Kalibr-armed missile corvette — a ~950-tonne hull that can transit inland rivers between fleets and lob land-attack cruise missiles 1,500 km. It fired the first combat Kalibr at Syria in 2015 and has been a principal platform for strikes on Ukraine.

Steregushchiy

Russia's principal modern multirole corvette family — compact littoral combatants evolved from a simple anti-surface/ASW design into a Kalibr-carrying strike platform, forming the coastal backbone of the Baltic, Northern, and Pacific Fleets.

Admiral Grigorovich

A Russian Black Sea Fleet frigate class, the Admiral Grigorovich (Project 11356R/Krivak V) delivers Kalibr cruise-missile land-attack strikes and provides multirole escort — a workhorse of Moscow's naval strike from the Black Sea.

Kalibr

Russia's mainstay sea- and submarine-launched cruise missile family, covering land-attack and anti-ship roles; first combat use in Syria (2015) and a primary weapon in the war against Ukraine's energy grid.

Lada-class

Russia's troubled Project 677 diesel-electric attack submarine — a mono-hull design intended to replace the Improved Kilo with Kalibr capability and planned air-independent propulsion, but plagued by decades of delays and an absent AIP system.

Improved Kilo

Russia's diesel-electric Kalibr-capable attack submarine — the "Black Hole" of the Black Sea, a widely exported SSK and the platform behind the only documented submarine-launched cruise-missile strikes in combat.

Yasen-class

Russia's most modern nuclear attack submarine — a multirole SSGN carrying Kalibr, Oniks, and Zircon cruise missiles in vertical silos, and the quietest Russian submarine design to date, assessed as comparable to US Seawolf/Virginia generation.

Admiral Gorshkov

Russia's most modern surface combatant — a multirole frigate built around long-range precision strike with Kalibr and Zircon hypersonic missiles, and the anchor of its future surface fleet.
