This last KRIVAK put on a rather distinctive missile launch at Sevastopol Navvy Day 2015. I wonder how far her skipper's career went? Plus 2 other views showing scrapping by rust and open ASW missile tubes. DFO

Krivak I Class Frigate RFS Ladny pictured launching her URK-5 Rastrub missile...The missile carries an underslung Anti-Submarine torpedo which it drops immediately above the suspected position of a Submarine. The torpedo then proceeds to search and then home in on the submarine. In the case of the 85RU/URPK-5, the UGMT-1 torpedo is a multi-purpose torpedo and can be used against Submarines as well as surface ships.
