Geroy Rossiyskoy Federatsii Aldar Tsydenzhapov ({{langx|ru|Герой Российской Федерации Алдар Цыденжапов||Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov}}) is a {{sclass|Steregushchiy|corvette}} of the Russian Navy.
Development and design
{{Main|Steregushchiy-class corvette}}
The Steregushchiy-class corvettes have a steel hull and composite material superstructure, with a bulbous bow and nine watertight subdivisions. They have a combined bridge and command centre, and space and weight provision for eight SS-N-25 missiles. Stealth technology was widely used during construction of the ships, as well as 21 patents and 14 new computer programs. Newest physical field reduction{{clarify|date=April 2015}} solutions were applied too. As a result, designers considerably reduced the ship's radar signature thanks to hull architecture and fire-resistant radar-absorbent fiberglass applied in tophamper's design.{{cite web |date=16 November 2012 |title=Russian Navy to Receive Corvette Boiky by Year End |url=http://rusnavy.com/news/navy/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=16470 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230004650/http://rusnavy.com/news/navy/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=16470 |archive-date=30 December 2014 |access-date=29 December 2014 |website=Rusnavy.com}}
The Kashtan CIWS on the first ship was replaced in subsequent vessels by 12 Redut VLS cells containing 9M96E medium-range SAMs of the S-400 / S-350 system. SS-N-27 (Kalibr Land Attack Cruise Missiles) will be fitted to a larger domestic version, Project 20385.{{cite web |date=19 April 2011 |title=Corvette Boikiy was launched in St. Petersburg |url=http://rusnavy.com/news/navy/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=12053 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141230000045/http://rusnavy.com/news/navy/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=12053 |archive-date=30 December 2014 |access-date=29 December 2014 |website=Rusnavy.com}}
The export version known as Project 20382 Tigr carries either eight supersonic SS-N-26 (P-800 Oniks) anti-ship missiles or sixteen subsonic SS-N-25 'Switchblade' (Kh-35E Uran). It also carries two twin-tube launchers for 533mm heavy torpedoes. The A-190E 100mm gun first used in the {{sclass|Talwar|frigate|1}}s is controlled by a 5P-10E system that can track four targets simultaneously. Protection from air attacks is provided by the Kashtan CIWS and eight mounts for the SA-N-10 'Grouse' (9K38 Igla) SAM.{{cite web |last=Pyadushkin |first=Maxim |date=20 August 2007 |title=Russian Navy Renews Surface Fleet |website=Aviation Week |url=https://ru.mega-darknet-mega-darknet.net |access-date=10 November 2011}}
Starting from Aldar Tsydenzhapov, newly built ships of the class received an upgraded sensor mast containing the Zaslon radar system that was first installed in Gremyashchiy.{{Cite web |date=2021-10-06 |title=Минобороны модернизирует корветы проекта 20380 |trans-title=Defense Ministry modernizes Project 20380 corvettes |url=https://iz.ru/1231526/2021-10-06/minoborony-moderniziruet-korvety-proekta-20380 |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=Izvestiya |language=ru}}
