it seems that Vasily Bykov is already "out of combat".

 * Reddit hardly counts as a reliable source, we should wait, until further information comes out. Remember there is a fog of war that we must deal with and try to see through, and at the same time present what facts we know. Huntsmanleader (talk) 16:37, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

My suggestion is that the ship has been reported sunk/destroyed by many sources and it should be reviewed to change the information on of the page accordingly. Goose wastaken (talk) 17:34, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

possible attack on 4 Aug 2022
The report in the Express may be acceptable as source, but I think someone entered that a bit too quickly. The newspaper cites H I Sutton, probably his Twitter account (https://twitter.com/CovertShores) but as you can see, he only reposted the picture/video of "something burning", connected with pictures of a ship of this class with white smoke. The latter were from an earlier exercise (smoke screen) probably, and not necessarily connected to the black smoke seen on Aug 4th. And if this black smoke originates from a ship is also highly debatable, Sutton also posted the daily report of the Ukrainian General Staff about Russian casualties, and there is no change in the number of ships/boat destroyed. So all in all it is not even likely that any ship was hit at all, let alone one of this class. Therefore I'm deleting that note that it was hit, for now at least, until some proper confirmation.--OBrian (talk) 08:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There is a report of it entering Sevastopol with fire damage. I'll leave it to other editors to judge the source and decide on inclusion in the article. Sjö (talk) 08:07, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

== possibly sunk on March 5ht 2024 Appears the Sergei Kotov is hit by water drones, possibly with rocket fired from the drones. It is reported to be sunk. https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1b6yih6/it_is_reported_that_this_video_shows_the_moment/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:9B02:1702:F065:DC50:B1CB:DB30 (talk) 07:20, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Original armament plans
Though the ship has been put into service with the 76.2mm AK-176MA. I've found multiple articles from Sputnik early on in its development confirming that it was originally supposed to use a 57mm gun (possibly the AU-220M, not sure on this one)

Grammatical edit: In the passage on the sinking, “If confirmed it would the third” should be changed to “If confirmed it would be the third.” Including the verb is a grammatical edit but also helps the proficient English reader take the claim more seriously. -Thomas 2603:7000:2400:17:24EA:C26C:8E1:C76D (talk) 02:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
