Description
The Udaloy class, Russian designations Project 1155 Fregat and Project 11551 Fregat-M (Russian: Фрегат, 'Fregat' meaning Frigate), are a series of anti-submarine guided-missile destroyers built for the Soviet Navy, seven of which are currently in service with the Russian Navy. Twelve ships were built between 1980 and 1991, while the thirteenth ship built to a modified design, known as the Udaloy II class, followed in 1999. They complement the Sovremennyy-class destroyers in anti-aircraft and anti-surface warfare operations. The codename Udaloy comes from an archaic Russian adjective удалой, meaning daring or bold. The ships were built as general-purpose destroyers with emphasis on ASW. Construction stopped at 12 units. This class saw relatively little operational use during the 1990s because of the difficulty in obtaining spare gas turbines, which had to be imported from Ukraine.

Protection
Hull Armor
UDALOYs have a long forecastle with a prominent knuckle extending aft to abaft the second pair of stacks. The bow has a sharp rake and an S-curved sheer line that lowers the extreme bow to provide clearance for low-angle fire from the forward 100-mm mount.
Countermeasures
Countermeasures include the IR laser detector array and PK-2 ship-borne decoy launching system. The system includes decoy launchers, decoy rockets, control consoles and radar. It deceives homing anti-ship missiles by dispensing electronic and optronic decoys. The later ships were installed with a PK-10 shipborne decoy launching system.
