Tests of Russia's Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate will begin late next month, with plans to deliver it to the Russian Navy in July, the head of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) said Wednesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Admiral Gorshkov frigate is said to be undergoing sea trials.

"First we will finish the audit in late February and will return to the test site with those types of weapons where assigned lettering correspond to their inclusion in the composition of combat-equipped ships," USC President Alexei Rakhmanov told reporters.
