The geographic name of Graivoron in the Belgorod region has become relevant today, because in this area, the fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps and he Liberty of Russia Legion are currently fighting against the security forces of the russian federation with the aim of creating a security zone on the border with Ukraine. In this episode, the Rashists demonstrate at least organizational incapacity. It is interesting that the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation has a missile corvette called "Grayvoron", which is used for strikes on Ukraine. And there is every reason to hope that this enemy missile ship will also wait for its "operation to create a security zone", but officially from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In particular, the Grayvoron missile corvette of the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation belongs to project 21631 Buyan-M. The corvette was accepted into the Rashist fleet in February 2021. The main armament of this ship is eight Kalibr cruise missile launchers or Onyx anti-ship missiles.

The Grayvoron corvette has only the Hybka short-range air defense system based on the Verba MANPADS, which can shoot down air targets at a range of up to 6 km and an altitude of up to 3.5 km. Because of this, the project 21631 Buyan-M corvettes can launch cruise missiles only if there is an "anti-aircraft umbrella" made by shore-based ADSs or air cover. That is why such ships to make strikes on Ukraine do not move further than a few kilometers from the coast of temporarily occupied Crimea.
The length of the Grayvoron corvette is only 74 meters, the draft is 2.6 meters, the full displacement is only 949 tons. The Rashists deliberately created this ship so compact that it could be moved along the Volga River. But at the same time, this approach has led to the fact that the ships of this project are too vulnerable from the air - so there is every hope that soon the Grayvoron corvette will follow the Moskva missile cruiser.
As Defense Express reported, Pro-Ukrainian russian Soldiers Enter Belgorod Oblast on Monday, May 22, to Create a Safe Zone Around Ukraine. The town of Graivoron in the Belgorod region is on the way of Russian volunteers, who have started an operation in the Belgorod region of russia with the aim of creating a "safe zone" near Ukraine's borders.
