The corvette is scheduled to sail out for running trials in late January.

The Rezky is the fourth corvette of project 20380 built by Amur Shipyard. She was laid in 2016. In late October, the warship was delivered in the Zeya transportation dock to Vladivostok for final construction.

The Steregushchiy class, Russian designation Project 20380, is the newest class of corvettes being built for the Russian Navy. Designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau, subsequent vessels were built to an improved design (Project 20381), incorporating the Poliment-Redut SAM system.

The vessel's full displacement and dimensions are large for a corvette, thus it is designated as a frigate by NATO.

The class is armed with one 100 mm A-190 Arsenal or 130 mm A-192 naval gun, one Kashtan CIWS-M (Close-In Weapon System), eight Kh-35 (SS-N-25) subsonic cruise anti-ship missile, two AK-630М CIWS (Close-In Weapon Systems), eight 330mm torpedo tubes for Paket-NK (Paket-NK/E for export) anti-torpedo/anti-submarine torpedoes and two 14.5mm MTPU pedestal machine guns.
