Project 22160 is a series of large patrol ships being constructed for the Russian Navy. The vessels are primarily intended for duties such as patrol, monitoring and protection in open and closed seas. The first ship was laid down in February 2014 and joined the Russian Navy in December 2018.[6][7] By January 2018, six ships were under construction.[8] Between 2017 and 2022, four ships had been launched.

During the Russo-Ukrainian War several of these ships were repeatedly attacked by Ukrainian Unmanned Surface Vehicles. On 5 March 2024, Ukraine spokesmen claimed they had sunk the Sergey Kotov.
