Designed primarily as escort ships for surface warfare and fire support, they became a significant element of the Soviet fleet during the Cold War. The prototype, "Sovremenny", entered service in 1980. Project 956 vessels took part in exercises and patrol operations, including in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Barents Sea, and the Far East.
