The Russian Gepard  class frigates Project 1166.1 were intended as successors to the earlier Koni, Grisha, and Parchim-class corvettes. The first unit of the class, Yastreb (Hawk), was laid down at the Zelenodol'sk Zavod shipyard at Tatarstan in 1991. She was launched in July 1993, after which she began fitting out; fitting was nearly completed by late 1995, when it was suspended due to lack of funds. Renamed Tatarstan, the ship was finally completed in July 2002, and became the flagship of the Caspian Flotilla. She has two sister ships, the Albatros (renamed Dagestan), and the Burevestnik (Storm Petrel), which was still under construction as of 2012. These vessels are capable of employing their weapons systems in conditions up to Sea State 5. The hull and superstructure are constructed primarily of steel, with some aluminum-magnesium being used in the upper superstructure. They are equipped with fin stabilizers and twin rudders, and can use either gas turbines or diesel for propulsion in a CODOG configuration.

Gepard capabilities designed to able to attack a ship on the surface, submarine and airborne targets, either independently or as part of the task force, as well as to perform escort duties and patrol. Armed with anti-ship missiles system Regulation-E, a 76.2-mm gun mount AK-176M, an artillery System Palma for air defense, two 330-mm gun mounts of AK-630M and 533 mm torpedo tube is

The Vietnam People's Navy received in March and August 2011 two Gepard 3.9 class frigates ordered in 2006, built in Russia at Tatarstan's Gorky Shipbuilding Plant. As of 2012 Vietnam was examining a purchase of two more, possibly built in Vietnam under license. In late 2011 Vietnam signed a contract for an additional batch of two ships in an ASW version.[3][4] A further two ships were ordered in 2014 to bring the total order up to six vessels.
