Hey, after a hiatus from all this quarantine has let me come back to it.

Today I present you with the fictional Soviet Molniya (Lightning) Class Destroyer. Loosely based off of the Sovremenny and Slava classes, I feel it has a pretty realistic premise.

A bit of background info:

This class of destroyers were built around the 1970's/80's. All 4 ships that were built were kept with the Russian navy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Similar to their bigger battlecruiser brothers, they had nuclear powered propulsion which allowed them to stay at sea for much longer than your average destroyer. Therefore when supported by replenishment vessels, could remain in a theatre of combat longer than their Western counter parts.

The vessel has the capacity for 1 Ka-27 helicopter, that could be used for recon, or equip a 30mm gun/torpedoes.
Also included in its arsenal is the following:

• 4K40 Anti-ship Missiles
• SA-17 Anti-air Missiles
• AK-630 CIWS System
• AK-1000 100mm Naval Gun (fictional)

The ship as a complete interior, so I urge you to really have an explore. Interior layouts of Russian/Soviet ships are incredibly hard to find, so some liberties were taken.

Any feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!
