Historical Information

The Moskva class, Project 1123 Kondor, was the Soviet Navy's first operational class of helicopter cruisers and was designed primarily to hunt NATO ballistic-missile and attack submarines. Moskva entered service in 1967 and was followed by Leningrad; both combined a large helicopter group with cruiser-style anti-aircraft and anti-submarine weapons before the class was retired in the 1990s.
