Historical Description

Projekt 61 ships (Kashin class) were operated by the Soviet Union and allied countries from the early 1960s. Their design from 1957 and especially their launch in 1962 marked the beginning of an era of powerful missile destroyers, capable of effectively engaging air and surface targets. Projekt 61 ships were widely used in the Soviet Navy during the Cold War; these units served until the early 21st century. Selected Kashin-class ships were present during critical episodes of Cold War conflicts in the waters of Europe and Asia.
