Bora-class corvette

The Bora class was designed in 1988 mainly for coastal defense and patrol duties against surface vessels, large and small. Two were built and are currently in service, both assigned to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. A future series of hovercraft have been planned based on this model for future production. Samum was reported damaged during the Russo-Ukraine War by a Ukrainian drone strike in September 2023. Nevertheless, both corvettes were reported active as of 2024 relocating to the eastern Black Sea from Crimea where they were evidently considered too vulnerable to a potential attack. ==Ships==
