“现代”级驱逐舰是前苏联于20世纪60年代中后期为抗衡美国海军“斯普鲁恩斯”级导弹驱逐舰而研制的通用型驱逐舰,工程代号为“956”。按照苏联海军的设计要求,一艘“现代”级驱逐舰加一艘同期研制的“无畏”级导弹驱逐舰的综合战力不低于美国两艘大型“斯普鲁恩斯”级驱逐舰。“现代”级驱逐舰侧重于反舰和防空作战,而“无畏”级则侧重于反潜作战。 1967年“956工程”设计宣告完毕,设计的新舰舰体与“卡拉”级巡洋舰相 The “modern” class destroyers were the generic destroyers developed by the former Soviet Union in the late 1960s to counter the USS Spruance class guided missile destroyer, code-named “956”. According to the design requirements of the Soviet Navy, the combined combat capability of a “modern” class destroyers plus a “fearless” class guided missile destroyer, developed over the same period, should not be less than that of the two large “Spruance” class destroyers in the United States. “Modern” class destroyers focus on anti-ship and air defense operations, while the “fearless” class focuses on anti-submarine operations. 1967 “956 Project” design declaration is completed, the new design of the warship and “Kara” class cruiser phase
