The Grisha V–class corvette exposed the technological limits of Soviet naval engineering during the Cold War. Built around basic sensors, short-range anti-submarine weapons, and restricted endurance, the platform reflected an industrial system unable to match Western advances in sonar, propulsion, and combat integration.
